I had also begun to dislike this serial and stopped watching it when everyone seemed to be happy - Jagya-Anandi, Basant-Gehna...I thought maybe they have justified everything and even glorified child marriage!😲
But I am glad they got back on the right track!😊Personally, I still think they have not handled this issue properly. I mean J fell out with A after going to the city, so it can give out the impression that perhaps DS was right that the boy would get our hands once sent so far away from the family! And that perhaps everything would have been alright, if he had not been sent to Mumbai!The way Lal Singh is living happily with his wife, in spite of being exposed to a city life, makes it seem as if Jagya-Anandi-Gauri issue has got more to do with Jagya's upbringing and his being spoilt rotten, rather than child marriage being the main culprit!😲Secondly, Gauri being impatient and not being able to ''win over'' the family or not being able to be the conventionally ideal bahu or wife gives out the message that an educated and independent girl can't be a suitable beendni...she lacks tolerance and would boss around her husband, answer back in-laws and argue with elders!I am no fan of Gauri, but I feel really bad that her character was butchered! I hate it how educated and independent women always have to be shown in a negative light!I personally feel they've handled this issue with kid gloves. Otherwise in real life, girls as young as little Anandi are married off to men as old as even Mahavir Singh!🤢And 14 year old boys and girls become parents of two kids! Naive ones are not mature themselves and end up having responsibilities of a full family!😡I understand such stuff can't be shown in a prime time serial...😕 Reality is far worse...But still at times I feel sad that they showed one successful and problem-free child marriage (Lal Singh's) and ended up reinforcing stereotypes (like educated girls not being ideal beendni material!).I don't think Jagya-Gauri marriage can send the right message. No way! It would absolve Jagya of all wrongs he has intentionally done till date! The best thing would be if Jagya ends up as a dhobi ka doggy and both girls leave him!😃I want Jagya to suffer and pay for each lie he told and how he played with people's emotions - be it his family's or his friends'!😡I would love it if both A and G chase him with sticks and stones the way Tiger Woods' wife chased him out of the house with a golf club! 😆 It will be a lesson for all men who try to use women and even twist laws and customs to have their own way!Currently, loving BV for showing the correct laws and for making each character reflect on his/her actions and repent for their wrong-doings! Very progressive of them to show such supportive in-laws like Sumitra and Bhairon! Hope they stay right on track.😊👏
