anyone read that book?
bairi piya reminds me of that story, Ekta might have been inspired by it. Its not exactly alike so interesting... Tess comes from a poor family, her parents send her to work at the wealthy house as servant not only for money but also because they think they are a distant relation of the rich people.
Alec D'urberville the son of the house is lecherous and womanizer, he fancies Tess and tries to get her to like him, but she refuses, then eventually he rapes her by tricking her with niceness. When she runs away from him he says you will come back to me one day.
She has his child which dies. Tess like Amoli also marries a young boy who she loves, but on her wedding night she wants to tell him the truth that she was raped and has dead child.
her husband instantly leaves her and she being poor and with ruined reputation has no where to go. Finally on the brink of starvation and thinking she will never have normal life she goes back to her rapist when she 'accidentally' bumps into him. (he was stalking her) And she lives as his mistress.
years later her husband comes to take her back, but its too late and from the anguish she kills herself.
Sooooooo after all that lol, you can see the similarities. Though Tess's story is muccch better, cuz the rich guy atleast wasn't married, his obsession was on the more shall we say 'sane' side.
I'm sure lots of you have heard of the story? what do you think...Amoli going that way?
freakishly Dv even looks like Alec D'urberville 🤔
check out BBC version on youtube.

wow really? I admire ekta now lol. Didn't think I'd ever be saying that-but yeh sometimes you can tell where she get things from. I suggest you watch the BBC version of the book through, its brilliant.

Hey this story is really good
😊
but too realistic and hard-hitting

We can't expect every portion of it in BP
😕

You guys might remember that BP started off as a hard-hitting reality-based show too, portraying the plight of Vidarbha's farmers under debts!
The very first scene was a farmer lady feeding Poison to all her little kids and having it herself too to die and escape the debts she was unable to pay
😭

But what is going on now??
Its turning out to be a triangle with all the focus only on Amoli, her origin, her history, her past, her present.....
No relation to what it started off as
😡

Ekta's shows always ultimately end up as stories with loud music, bollywood songs playing in the background, innumerable illegitimate relationships and kids as their outcome, secrets which get extended so much that even bubble-gums start having complexes!
😆


So I don't think a sophisticated novel like d'ubervilles is expected here
😉

I so agree with you Nikki.I think this show stuck to its theme may be only for a week and turned into a full-fledged BT show later.What is the plot of this show? Thakur's obssesion with Amoli??
