My essay on bandini-Past-Present -Future

Bandini-How an exceptionally good track goes down the drain Royally.

I came here to share my few cents inspired by your wonderful, creative participation. Love you all guys 😊 and I hope you are with me somehow or the other in this...

When Bandini was started, it really took on some major issues such as the issue between upper caste and lower caste (as our Ben baa always points out-choti jaat), superiority of one class over rather 'class less' people, unacceptable age gap between a couple, emotional toiling between an unwilling couple, rejection, seemingly budding love-intimacy etc?We all gathered to watch it as the love, intimacy and romance between Dharamraj and Santu gradually stole the show from other disturbances. The show started to generate a lot of interest, hence income and I guess the respective producers became eager for more and let the once wonderful track go down the drain royally.

I love Bandini like you all do. I'm a great fan of the art of story telling and particularly enjoy stories with romantic tensions such as SanRaj's. However, I feel bad to admit that this track which had the potential to beat a love saga has lost its magic.

I mean, look at the characters yaar.

Our very own DM⭐️- was almost like an Avatarpurush (of course, with all his limitations). He was so virtuous, committed with so much vigor and passion! Now he seems lost!!! He is lost between his age, Ronit Roy's hectic schedules, all the unwanted trashy characters😡😡 that are dumped in his beloved home and now with this Dr's track! I wonder how he is going to redeem himself. Last when I saw him asking a mere announcer😡 (June 9^th epi) to get some cheap gift for his wife who won a stupid game?😡 it felt disgusting. Ronit Roy who could just mesmerize the whole world with his romantic expressions, seems to be jaded with this aging character and crapy tracks. Instead of bringing that passion, vigor and romance back to DM's character, the CVs are using his talent to give us few seconds of not so good SanRaj moments😡. He is not too old for us yet!! All it takes is few chirpy-happy-possessive moments from DM with Santu to get him back on track. I hated watching him yawn?😔in today's epi (11^th June 2010) He really looked like wannabe Naanaji🤢😡.

Santu⭐️-the girl who once faced the wrath of the entire M parivaar, lost 10 yrs of her precious life in jail, looked very strong, determined and Spiritual when she returned to the M mansion. But now, of late, she seems content with colorful sarees😡, jewels, her responsibilities of making chai for her maalik, making achaar with baa and seeking silly gifts from strangers😡!!!! Girl....you need a life with your lover!! Get him to go GaGa over you!!! Do some planning😉 instead of achaar making!!! At least get into business and get busy. You will do well with your CIA acumen. Kick that Sarang and Deepak out of your home. Teach your sisters some good life lessons and let them go-find their ways?Please Show us that you are not made for jewels and fancy sarees. Make the not too old Tiger crave and long for you😍? and please stop addressing him 'maalik' ( yaar! 'suniyeeee'...is good enough for him? umr se aap kuch to seekho!😈)

Moti ben/ Ben baa⭐️-Wonderful character that evoked the right amount of anger in all of us. Rasika Joshi even with her physical limitation truly gave her best 👍🏼 throughout. Ben baa's character was always charged, ready to pounce, rightly irritated us thus making Bandini and SanRaj moments more dear to watch. This character now desperately needs some airtime and clarification😔. We all want Ben baa to accept Santoori as her dear sis-in-law. We want her to confess to the viewers that her notion of 'choti jaat' was all wrong. We want her to soo confess that she still loves Kanji😊?we want her to be there with SanRaj as a strong pillar or exit the show with dignity (She can take sanyaas and go live in an Ashram!) Please CVs😈?take notes yaaar.

Hiten and Toral-Plsssssss😡😡 let Toral have her gaja putr/putri on her lap☢️!!!! I feel dizzy watching her ever pregnant tummy. Hiten is a nice character following his father's foot steps. Let him handle the karobhaar and let his wife take care of their kid. Toral is virtuous, educated and someday soon can start an export business with Kadambari who desperately needs a life🐷. No more partners for her please?..

Khemi-Poor khemi. I feel sorry for her character as well as the actor who is playing the part. Her plight is pathetic😭. No one seems to care for that character anymore. Come-on yaar! Let her ask the parivaar's permission to enter a college or university. Let her take up some courses. Let her meet and fall in love with a nice handsome man❤️ who could be the next generation competitor with Hiten!! Just give her a life out of the M mansion. She is really breathless🤢? gasping for some air and life!!!!!

Kadambari-First of all, please give her a brain of her own😡, help her get rid of Sandeep guy soon😡 and save us from insanity😡!!! The actor is very good, chirpy and capable. Give her some hope🥳.

Birwa-Should be Santu's right hand! Help her kick Sarang out from Dharampur and her life. Send her to some foreign land for business expansion. Let her meet a nice guy❤️ (normal guy with no criminal, psychological backgrounds😡!) fall in love and marry. There!!! You have another nice, positive track.

Suraj-Ask him to loose some weight🤡 or at least his baby cheeks! Instead of taking care of his dad's business in which he has no interest, let him start something else. Again, he is a handsome guy, can find a nice companion?let him seek?

Shashank-Wonderful character. Again, breathless, screaming for some quality airtime as Ben baa and Khemi's character😔😡. Give him his kaddu back and send them both to their home with Nandini. They can have their own track in their home?with additional kids, school, business, party, play etc?

Maulik-When he returns from jail, make him a decent man and make him fall for that girl (champakali's assistant/Santu's jailmate. Sorry 😊 I forgot her name?)

Mongi, Deepak, Sarang, Dr. Megha-Gosh😡😡😡!!!! Do something to straighten them up😡😡😡. Kick them out soooooon or put all of them in a ship with a secret hole and ship them to Cuba😡.

Clear the mansion of all the dirt, s*🤬*t pile. Let DM take some kusti lessons😃. Restrict RR from escaping the show frequently😡 (Must)! Please send them out of Dharampur, if possible Gujarat. Let them visit places, Make them experience and enjoy life as a pair of love birds😃. Overall make Bandini a one of kind serial. We don't want to see a nice story line getting flushed down the drain royally.

What do you say friends....Would appreciate your views...

ABSOLUTELY HATING THE DM AND DR TRACK- CREATIVE PEOPLE YOU ARE MAKING A VERY BIG MISTAKE AS ITS GETTING TOO PATHETIC. THE SHOW IS STARTING TO LOSE ITS MAGIC. I THINK WE WANT DM AND SANTO TO FACE PROBLEMS TOGETHER NOT HAVE PROBLEMS BETWEEN THEM. PLEASE DO LISTEN.

DM is not the AAAAAAaaaaAAA malik anymore ...he's nothing like him..i wish they announced him dead when santu came out of jail & started asking about him.. at least we would still keep that glorified image of him in our memories... 😭

Dear 'hamdasgh',
It really feels so bad isn't it...I'm wondering..will they keep on going with same loose tracks for months or years? If so, where will we be?! I dare not imagine😲

but it's not too late yet, if only CVs realize their mistake and resurrect his character, Bandini can still survive, like a few of us have said, we'd like the DM of one year back and the current Santu be a couple, they don't need to destroy DM to show Santu as a strong person.

Dear sg08,
Thanks for your encouraging words :)
I hope the CVs wakeup. I believe, It is one of the most watched TV soaps. Why would they be so careless?! After all they have created this wonderful pair with amazing chemistry😊! I just hope they bring back the DM we once lovvvvvved..or end his character (thus bandini) with grace and dignity that it truly deserves.


The only thing I disagree with really is Khemi.....she cannot be redeemed for me ever, she is a murderer three times over and she did it all for money and property, if anything I feel she was let go very lightly. I read today in another post that the actress has quit the show and they might make Khemi commit suicide, which I think would be a fitting end to her character.

I feel kind of bad for Khemi as they took the character to extremes. First of all it was a very weak character. They made her taste few good things and took everything away from her. That actress looked so annoyed, piked, aimless and careless in all her recent appearances....hmmmmm didn't know she quit. Good for her though😈 isn't it?
