Some of you are new to Balika Vadhu...regular since the 1000th epi (Shiv ka entry) and some like me may have forgotten, so I thought I would remind everyone that there is a parallel to today. But, before I get to today, let me note that S is now wearing G's shoes. Yes. G is the "dusri" aurat and most of us have little sympathy for her cuz she chose to marry J knowing of his rishta with A. By the same token S has opted to marry A despite her prior rishta with J. Yes. S has the moral high ground and G lost it the day she stayed with J knowing their marriage was illegal. But, the PARALELL is SYMMETRICAL. So, before we leap on the CVs with brickbats and/or crockery we for a moment may want to reflect on this and why the CVs r doing this - parallel after parallel... to demonstrate and highlight the difference btwn JaGa and AnSh... JaGa fell in love - AnSh will RISE... Similar scenes divided JaGa in the past, but will bond Ansh more and more.
The Action;
A has to play along with J's sick delusion* that they are married. DS asks her to.
The OUTRAGE:
All are outraged how how how can DS do this? Ask Anandi to play along with Jugya's delusion,* but in the past DS asked J to fake "happy marriage" with Anandi during the track where Badimassi was sick. BM wanted to spend sometime with Anandi and Jugya together before she died. DS did the same today as she did then... it was to unfair to JG then and unfair to AS today. But, its the same DS - how can we expect different?
The inHUMANITY:
Was it not equally unfair to A to play "bheendni" to J during the "BM" track, as well as unfair to JG... Yes. Cuz she was slowly but, surely accepting J's departure and moving on. There is scene where she rejects a sari J selects for her during this track... her response being, she didn't want to spoil her adaat (of being without J). So, why did A play along and pretend to be happily married to J back then? She did it because she cared for BM and for insaniyaat's sake to please a dying old woman. So, how can we today expect a different reaction from Anandi... she is not at all happy, but she feels bound by humanity as she thinks J is very sick and delusional.
Now where is the inhumanity? The "IN" was G during the BM track where she told the truth and nearly killed BM and today its J...playing cruel games with AnSh...playing on their decency and kindness.
What is the difference?
Well the players are nearly the same except S is now in G's shoes. Yes. He walked away, but he did not leave Anandi. Nor will he berate her for it. Instead this will bring AnSh together whereas it drove JaGa apart...arguably led to J being expelled and G's miscarriage. Shiv, however, is not insecure like Gauri... he is mature...he knows Anandi is doing this for "humanity"'s sake and he will console her not the other way around. That ladies n the odd gent is what the CVs r showing... its not about the inDIGNITY of a Woman, but the TRUST of a Couple.
*Its not amnesia... bad choice of words by LS, its feverish delusion! Also, more likely than not J is faking this aspect.
** Do also ask yourself why you were so outraged with the shoes on Shiv's foot and not Gauri's... are the circumstances that different. From a "dil' perspective...not legal, did G not consider J her husband??? Yeah Yeah... next q is does G have a "dil" considering how much she is NOT missing J, but still... 😛
***Another q i have for everyone... is would anyone object to A taking care of someone else say Shiv's bro or Shyam the same way? Say Mahi or Shyam thought A was their wife and A stepped up because their wives were also unavailable...hmmm
