Hello all. I am new to India Forums and I had to make this my first post.
I started watching this show about 3 months back and I am hooked.
I have to say that the episodes from last week with the death of Anandi's mother were simply incredible.
From the writers, to the director(s), to the actors: you moved me to tears.
I lost my mom one year ago. As i sat watching the show last week both my dad and I were crying.
The emotions, the thoughts, the feeling of loss, the "what if", the incredible overwhelming disbelief as your life changes in an instant as you lose your mother, your best friend, your teacher. And of course the last look between mother and daughter and then to wife and husband. It brought back many memories - like i was reliving everything again.
And finally when Anandi falls to her mother's body and the camera stays on their faces - no words were needed. the shock and loss was written on a daughter's face.
And thank you to the writers for bringing in a every important point and facing it down. I refer to when Anandi wants to go with her mother's body but she is told "woman are not allowed." After the prayers at the mosque, I was not allowed to go to my mother's burial and it killed me. I took care of my mom for years and I wanted to be with her till the end. I wanted to be by my father's side. It would be our last time together as a family.
when Anandi went despite what "society" had to say, I made a decision right there and then. No one will deny me my right. I respect my religion but I respect my parent's more. God willing, it will not be for many many years but when it is my father's time, I will be by his side until they lay his body to the ground. If I have to watch from a far then so be it. But I will be there.
So again, thank you to everyone associated with this show. You made me cry yes. You brought back memories that I wanted to hide as they hurt so much. But you also made me make a big decision.
Thank you.
