I say yes. Plenty, in fact, if you only cared enough to watch it again!

I maintain that even after watching today's episode I still feel that the show has gone off course. You have your views and I mine. So lets just agree to disagree over this and our views on women and life in general. Indeed you remind me of some one else on these posts.

I agree with you that the way they r showing Sandya at this moment is wrong,and that she should stick to her guns,and stand up for herself,but I don't agree with what your saying about bhabho.Because even in this day and age you have people like bhabho,and not only in India but England too. Recently when my cuzon got married,her mother in laws sister told my cuzon to put a white sheet underneath her.This would show one when her and her husbund will have sex and two when they do if she was a Virgin.So for the next couple of days they kept checking this white sheet.we were all shocked and dusgusted!So I'm sorry to say these things do happen and its good to show these sad people it wrong!

Avidfan - I somehow I find that no matter what I say, it will not satisfy you, hence we have reached an impasse.

There are parts of my post which I think you didn't read thoroughly. Like where I asked as to "when did she lie about her education?" I'd said more after that -

"She did not lie about being educated from the outset. She didn't even know this until lateron and by then she was already married."

In fact, hear the explanation as to why from Sandhya herself by watching the first four minutes of this epi.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-KjaxOC-zk&feature=related

Having said that - please remember that to err is human. You expect consistency in character and yet I say again, I find nothing inconsistent about it.

I guess my approach is that I see Sandhya in the same light as any person out there trying to stick to certain ideals. It's not always an easy path and we will make mistakes in our actions over and over again. Unfortunately for her, for every one mistake she makes she is crucified for it ten times over.

The other part about her father-in-law -

Well you did say and I quote "Why could she not have been shown standing up to Bhabho to say (a) I am not the only who may need contraceptives or even to say that I am not going to discuss the issue of contraceptives in front of my father in law. "

I could go on and on as you can well see from my rambling posts. Just like you are passionate about the wrongs of the show I am equally passionate about the so many rights I've seen in it. Just like Sandhya, it is not perfect, but still I think there is a lot to commend it.

Watching DABH or not is your perogative, but I find it unfair to make commentary on matters without having seen the whole picture. After reading that you'd stopped watching after a point, I was disheartened at having wasted so much energy in trying to convince a person who hadn't even bothered to watch the show for a while.

As they say, different strokes for different folks and all that. To add to which I fear that my comprehensive answers may not be taken in the spirit they were meant. So I shall now refrain from boring you with my love for DABH.

Avidfan, good points. The poor taste the show's creators have portrayed in the way Bhabho brought her family to Suraj and Sandhya's bedroom and humiliated all was beyond belief.

And Sandhya being shown as cold for such a long time, then slowly admiring Suraj, and again becoming cold towards Suraj is also not good. When will she realize her love for Suraj?and much of what is happening seems to be illogical...Perhaps a better portrayal of her conflicted feelings towards Suraj could have helped. That she admires him, but is not able love him, needed to be portrayed in a much better manner.

Thanks. I agree whole heartedly. If only they could go back to the way it was in the first few months. It was such good story line. But lets see where they go from here. It seems that it is at cross roads- Sandhya to stay or leave.

We all know that it will be a drastic and bold change if she heeds Priti's advice and decides to divorce. There is a very remote chance of that and I would hope that she does not choose to do that. It would be so out of character too.

I think she will struggle but decide to stay and that may be the turning point in the story. Although it will be more of the same with Bhabho (which maintains the TRPs)

I would hope as always they bring out Sooraj a bit more, his being more proactive in trying to win over Sandhya and dealing with his family.

I could not understand the point of Meena blabbing about her crimes but nothing happening.

Perhaps we as audience are expecting too much from a not very polished production.

In Anna Karenina, the wife could not love her husband, a dull beaurocrat. though they had a child. She was attracted to the dashing army man Vronksy.Though our Sandhya will never go to that extent, this is what happens when the expectations dont meet with the realities.
