Why is it Genda Phool? - Page 2

ok this is a very interesting topic indeed... I will go with the lack of fragrance concept and the beauty of the genda phool is best when all petals seen together concept..otherwise i dont know why else genda phool i chosen to describe the sasural...

hey thnx a ton... 😊
evn i was wondering y is sasural is being referred as genda phhol...

nice question anu dii.lol am week in hindi and i thought genda ment caught LOL
and i thought suhana's freedom wil b taken and al in her sasural she is compared to b a gendaa hua phool 😎🤣

this is right merigold is a compound flower where each petal is a complete flower in itself and cluster of many flowers means each member has its own identity and together they make a complete joint family
and another meaning could be as though genda phool is not very beautiful looking flower and has no fragrance of its own but it is considered a pious flower that is why it is always offered to god during prayers andit always leaves color on light colored clothes could be significance of each family member leaves its own impression.......

Actually,marigold i.e genda phool is a very diff flower......it is actually a cluster of flowers that means each petal is a flower by itself ..but the beauty of a marigold lies when u see all the petals together collectively..like a sasural where different members are a complete individual but when they come together they are collectively called SASURAL depicting the joint family system.the song is a actually a folk song from chattisgarh where a married woman describes her sasural..that is why the show is called Sasural genda Phool.

I think this is what it refers to...that the 'Sasural' is as variant & yet close-knit as a 'genda phool' I think the conceptualization is really good! I mean...poets think so deeply na...I would never have imagined this metaphor😆 But is is so apt & true...esp in the serial! Evey single person is so different from the other...but they still live for ezch other

And IMO, to say as Rijul said Genda phool is a flower called mari gold.... It looks beautiful when u see the whole flower....And Actually Mari gold is like a sensitive flower in which, if u remove one petal of the flower, the other petals too start coming out...(I have tried this guys)...And thus the flower will lose all its petals and only the sepal remain... It looks odd to see that.... In the same way Sasural is too like a mari gold flower which shatters or separates what ever it may be... if there is a small mis understanding in them...Those small misunderstandings lead to hatred between the people as in yesterdays episode of SGP where Disha and Rajni feel bad for treating Suhana in another manner and all.... If we adjust to the conditions, its alright but if these misunderstanding leads to much hatred and fights, the sasural collapses like mari gold flower which loses its petals.. and it will be awkward to look....

My two cents...😃

The term 'genda phool' is a metaphor. The literal meaning is a 'Marigold Flower', and the metaphor here is that the in-law family is full of different kinds of people and various little activities that define them, just like the 'Marigold Flower' is of different varieties and different colors.so comparison is in between different member's behaviors to different color of 'Genda" (marigold)
