I have a request . Please discuss this topic amicably I dont want this thread to be shut down for bAshing .If Pratigya supporters dont like my views , its best NOT to enter this thread and start an argument . I wanted to share my thoughts with ALL , not to bash the lead at all .These r my thoughts about this show and I want CVS to read them . So please co operate .😊
At last some realism is shown in the serial about what happens to women who take the bull by the horns in rural UP and BIhar hometowns .
. They get KILLED . Burnt , accidentally , cut up , beaten to pulp . .

The Professor's Beti impressed many starry eyed teeny boppers who thought it was wonderful that she got away by slapping GUNDAS and putting up a valiant fight . Her most famous dialogue was ..............WE WILL GO DOWN FIGHTING . But its scary right ?Its not so easy to go down fighting , is it ? For instance when she was locked in the room we saw her pathetically banging on the doors screaming to let her out . We didnt see her hurling abuse or kicking doors valiantly .

To all who applauded her for SAVING KESAR"S BABY by daring to go against Shakti .............what was the realism ? Today when Shakti dragged her to her room she cud not do a thing about it . Had Krishna NOT been there that day , it wud have been SAME scenario .Shakti wud have held the doc at gunpoint and made her do the abortion and wud have HIT pratigya if his brother had not been there .

Did her Bhashans ever get her what she really wanted ? We did Not see them working today , neither did we see her glares working . Neither did flowing hair and Pratigya Ban jaaye music . . The creatives throw in reality but briefly only , and then show a filmy way of Winning . The Court case was Filmy , the escape tofday with Chandu Tunna was filmy . The BURNING PLAN was the real thing that reflects society ............Bride burning indeed is a reality .Such last minute escapes with Kesar putting key conveniently in the lock DON"T HAPPEN . THEY JUST DON"T . . Komal comes EXACTLY on the day Pratigya is gonna be set on fire ? And Kesar puts key in lock exactly when Chandu Tunna r peeping like batman and Robin ? Very very uNREAL . What was REAL was the locked , helpless girl in the room . Hundreds face this fate In rural India .........they DOn't get saved at last minute at all . . Someone had asked me a question in one of my threads ..Just what do u mean when u say Pratigya is in no position to win any of her battles ? . It was precisely THIS what i meant . The way Shakti dragged her , locked her and the full family subdued her and she cud not do a THING about it . In real life if u slap a gunda , one gets her hand twisted or she gets RAPED . These r situations where ur education , glares , spitfire dialogues just dont work .U die , plain and simple .
.
An interesting thing was that she phoned Chandu and Tunna , two roadside gundas , and not her own family whom she is terribly proud of to come and take her from there . Why ? Did she not have enough confidence and faith on her brother Adarsh and her ideal , strong Father to come there with the police and take her away ? Why ? She had told Krishna very pointedly when he had offered his familys contacts help in her Fathers case that HUME APNE TAREEKE SE PAPA KO CHUDANA HAI . She had stressed on the APNA TAREEKA . Well . wasnt she confident that APNA TAREEKA wud work here ?
.
Or was it ok for her that two roadside gumnaam gundas DIED if at all they were caught rather than her own family coz by now she knew who she was dealing with ?
Regarding the Professor
He first went to the jail unecessarily and stirred a hornet's nest
He then LEFT his daughter after their faces were blackened and came home ...........the same man who had created a ruckus over SS asking his daughter to leave the house ...............he thought a blackening incident was ok compared to a slap ? Any logic , sense here ?
He then threatened Komal with a blackening and has been consistently rude to Komal who was making genuine efforts to fit in and please him ..........he was cold , unresponsive and decided to maul the cub coz he cud not take on her DAd and Bro ? These were his great values ......constantly telling his bahu that my daughter is suffering there , so ideally YOU shud also suffer HERE ?
The only difference being ........HIS daughter went to that house with her own wish and foolhardiness , and Komal came here UNWILLINGLY .
Adarsh had married Komal with SAME INTENTION . Like Father LIKE SON .........these are their real faces .
And we see Komal telling Adarsh its ok ur father scolded me and getting affected by Adarshs telling her that just as we didnt consummate so must have Angad not touched Pratigya ? How laughable was THAT ? This unreal nonsense in this serial that Men dont touch women and just allow them to be .......Krishna , Adarsh , even Angad .........is the worst nonsense shown in the show .
Who shud be apologising to who ? Adarsh to Komal for wrecking her life or Komal to Adarsh for doing NOTHING and just being what she genuinely always was ?
The Thakurs said a lot about Pratigya's VIRGINITY . They r the villains . But may I know why the Professor told Krishna Pratigya is PAVITRA STILL LIKE THE FIRE OR GANGA OR WHATEVER ?
Why PRATIGYA , a girl with such advanced feminist thoughts constantly told Krishna she is still PURE ?
Whose SOCH is BASIC and PETTY behind the VENEER of EDUCATION ? We DONT SEE PRATIGYA SAYING I AM PURE COZ I AM AS I AM ...............the VIRGINITY FACTOR DOES NOT DECIDE THE PURITY OF A WOMAN . A RAPED WOMAN IS THE VICTIM AND THE RAPIST IS AT FAULT , THE KIDNAPPER IS AT FAULT NOT THE WOMAN . I REFUSE TO GIVE CERTIFICATES OF MY VIRGINITY TO U GUYS .
Had she said that I wud have applauded her . But u know what , she turned out to be very very common .

I agree with all you points...so well written and to the point!!!👏

This is the reality of the show and the so called 'modern thinking' Pratigya who is here to change lives of others and fight for the justice!!!

This could have been a better serial if CVs portrayed the real issues and their conclusions. None of the 'educated' girls in the show are even shown searching for a job or doing something creative for the society rather than dressing up pretty in the living room.
I am interested to know what other members in the forum thinks about it!!!

I agree with your point regarding the rape. A female rape victim is a victim. She should not need to give certificates of her virginity but in real life this is not the case.

I have grown up in England and been to University here and consider myself to be a feminist in many ways, like other girls here. However, even in a liberal country like England, I have seen British Indian girls who were born, bred and educated here do the same things as Pratigya.
It may be down to cultural pressure or just pure compramise but it does happen even amongst the most educated and liberal thinking women.

@Koolsaadhu.....u r 100% right...

I feel just 25-30% of reality has been shown here and the rest is quite filmy........like

1. Prats agreeing to marry Krish w/o asking him why he tortured/kidnapped her.......no girl will keep quite in reality and will first not agree for marriage.
2. Fighting against SS to save her dad .....so many DIL just cant step out of husband's house, court case is too far..
3. Trying to save Kesar's child....did she get an intuition about abortion?...she could not have done it alone w/o Krishna...no woman can achieve such things unless their husbands are 'Krishnas'
4. Telling infront of all that she did not allow Krish to touch her .....95% women dont say such things in public and if at all they say, they should never ever enter their inlaws house again......No man will tolerate such 'humiliation' from his wife in front of all.....and will immediately send her off and end the relation for ever....that was the heights of humiliation for a man.
5. Telling in the court that she was kidnapped....she had ample time and occasions to tell him...........no woman will keep such matters so long ( 4-5 months) and if she hates someone, she will particularly make a point to first scream/shout at that person and ask why he did such things.....was Prats planning to keep this matter a secret her whole life?
6. Staying back in Thakur house after face-blackening incident.......no educated, sanskaari woman will opt to stay in such a house after humiliation particularly when she is not at fault...why is Prats staying there...........any woman will get out of such a place first whether her hubby believes her or not and try getting a job and become independant....If ppl believe u r pure its fine, if not to hell with them........why is she explaining to all that she is pure?
7. Tunna/Chandu trying to enter Thakur mahal and trying to get her out is complete filmy.
Everytime she is declared by CVs as the winner, saviour, upholder of truth...😕😕
In reality all these things dont happen........only matured women and married ladies can understand real life situations and solutions to them...........not small school going/college girls.....the fact is all dont and cant get a husband like 'Krishna' .....but 'Shakti' types can be found almost anywhere.😕
Hope my POV does not offend Pratigya fans

Not only this @ Mannisha, I have seen husbands who would suspect spouses character many a times for very primitive reasons, Majority of women no matter what their caliber, status or literacy level is, strictly talking about Indian women, do suffer from taunts here and there and are forced to live somewhat subdued life and curb their feelings or behave in a manner that inadvertently pushes them to keep providing proof of their purity on daily basis without even knowing that that has become their second nature.😭
😭
@ Kools 🤗 I hope those "many starry eyed teeny boppers " that you addressed this post to learn from your post. CVs should also take a notice of this post and show more realism then FILMI type of entertainment. I agree the official synopsis of this show claims to provide an insight into the some of the burning social issues but have actually failed to do so.😡

"This serial has basically turned into a love story of epic magnitude of unrealistic behaviors which are beyond comprehension"

😕 And why an unbelievable fictional character like Krishna is so adored when such a person is non.existent in real life. "IS A FOOD FOR THOUGHT" Such a person will be in great demand and will be an instant winner if one could find him in real life. Which brings us to the next phase of this serial when an ordinary girl finds such a man and can't comprehend how to deal with him 😉

Kools🤗 You can't keep me away, 😊 i salute your unrelenting effort to bring the realism to the forefront 👏

Hi Kools.

Nice post. I agree with what you are saying.

I have not seen this serial much but I know about the female lead Pratigya. And so I was surprised by this virginity nonsense she said to everyone. (yeah i'm following the updates nowadays)

today's serials have a very filmy writing and they don't do balanced writing for male and female characters.there are times when they are too fimy because they want ratings and for ratings they would write any kind of story,it doesn't matter how foolish their characters looks.if anyone remember DD's Rajni,Hum Log were the real serials with real characters.and they are still the best because they developed characters first then they try to do love stories.nowadays all they do is love stories without developing characters first.character should be real so we the viewers can Associate with them.

Although, many of the things they shown are unrealistic and filmy,the show has brought up many issues women face in the Indian subcontinent to the forefornt.

What has angered me as a viewer is the fact that the Professor opted to LET His daughter stay there after the blackening . Can anything be more humiliating than that incident ? So what if Krishna is on her side etc ..........no one can stay in that house after that humiliation . He shud have taken his daughter home FOREVER and let Pratigya Krishna decide if they still want to have a marraige , independent of his family . But he left her among the wolves , went home and started blasting KOmal . What was that all about ? . So a woman can stay with her in laws inspite of a blackened face so long as her hubby is there with her ! But she must stomp out if she is slapped for spilling bedroom scerets in the open . There her Dad shud be UNRELENTING . . This full kidnapping issue was made public by the Professor and his conscience attack . Later this conscience suddenly disappeared and he NEVER told the court that indeed Adarsh had gone to kill Angad . The conscience shows no remorse when he says his own bahu KOmal desrves a blackening on hER FACE . It was so illogical , that statement , and so , so , UNFAIR . . If they dont like Komal , send her back to her dad's home . How long r u guys going to treat her so patronisingly or condescendingly ?

Agree👏👏
Pratigya only speaks and whatever battle she has won is because Krishna has supported her unwaveringly.
