So, the much needed boost to the Colors show 'Na Aana Is Des Laado' has been provided in the form of an attempt to rape and murder of a maid by Ammaji's son Gajender. This will see the protagonist bahu Sia standing up against the family trying to get justice for the deceased.

That's sound like a fine track, the only glitch though is that haven't we seen such scenes before on TV. However, this particular story was made famous by Meenakshi Sheshadri in the 1993 blockbuster Damini. Sheshadri played Damini, wife of Shekhar Gupta (Rishi Gupta) whose brother rapes their maid Urmi. Damini goes against her own family and eventually brings the culprits to the book. In her quest for justice, Damini's relationship with her husband suffer.

Similar scenes will unfold in Laado, where Gajender (Anand Goradiya) attempts to rape the maid Gunja. Gajendra threatens to rape Gunja at gunpoint. In the ensuing scuffle, Gunja is shot dead. Sia (Natasha Sharma) is hell bent on getting justice for the deceased. So, she goes against her in-laws. As usual, Ammaji will abuse power to save her son. Relations between Raghav (Aditya Redij) and Sia will suffer as a result.

When contacted Natasha Sharma said, "The track is somewhat similar to Damini. Sia has always opposed Ammaji's decisions but her own marital situation took the focus away from bringing about a change in her household, village and the society. This incident is going to be a rude shock to Sia and she will be prepared to take on Ammaji again. I am sure the viewers would like to see justice delivered."

A source closely associated with the show says, "Yes, there's no denying that the track is inspired from Damini. In the present times, where audience loyalty is very inconsistent, it's important to keep coming up with such high points in the show. The novelty factor is there in the initial period, but after a year and a half the viewers get familiar with all the characters. Thus you need new tracks to win back your audience."

The ugly scenes will air tonight. History shows that high drama has always yielded good TRPs for Laado. Anand Goradiya is among the finest actors on television today. Trust him to be at his evil best while trying to rape poor Gunja.

thanks for the article..............
its raining articles now on this new track, i agree that its little difficult to show novelty after 1and half yrs and keep the viewers hooked so charcterizations need to be changed but one thing that'll surely stay novel till the end of this show is rasia romance, coz its hardly shown😡, to jab bhi dikhate hain naya hi lagta hain.........

Sweety,

I just wanna say Hallelujah!

What a novel way of keeping audiences hooked! I would have borne it all (with dignity) had they showed us developments in the RaSia track as well.

Well of course they did show us a stupid, adha-adhura SR; and a simple, single reassurance by Raghav that he will stand up against Ammaji and co. if they try to harm his daughter in the days to come.

So Raghav will react only when someone close to him is threatened. But does that include Sia as well? I wonder! He knows fully well that the idealogies of his Mother and his wife are different so frictions are bound to happen, one day or the other. And especially if the matter is of great significance! He made the choice himself. But, I am ok with him standing by his Mother because I expect him to do that. I have absolutely no hopes from him. Whatever happens, his relation with his wife bears the brunt - and I mean, whatever! He doesn't hesitate to put their relation to test every time the situation is shaky. And that too, even after knowing the truth.

I want Sia to stick to the truth and will be happy if the FF gang sides up with ehr eventually.

But it seems like a lone fight, since sabkey aankhon pe Ammaji ki change ki patti padi hui hai, which is so convenient BTW!

it is actually raining articles.seems the PR team is all out trying to make this track tick.i agree raghav would have realised even when he was accepting sia as his wife that there will clash of ideologues between his mom and wife.but why is that the rasia relationship always goes through the agni pariksha.why has raghav's character butchered so much so that he is not a man enough to stand up for what is right.
seems like sia will be a lonely traveller with no back up.poor gal
