I was hurt to hear what choti maa said when saanchi was being mean to anandi about missing shiv. CM defended anandi which was nice but I did not like when she also passed judgement on city girls that their love is flaky. They say I luv you in two days and disappear. Now they are making a progressive city mother in law behave like a most backward of all mother in laws.

Then of course there are saanchi and gauri the epitome of bad city girls. I wish if they had to bring someone opposite jagya it was a different image of a city woman not another dukhayari village girl. How about a independent, city born, well educated doctor who decides to work in. A village hospital and is raising a son and taking care of parents on her own. Who does not give time of day to jagya to start with.

Anandi is the protagonist of this show and I lwatch this show only for shiv anandi. They always made anandi as Mahaan, strong, outspoken yet respectful and caring. Which is nice but then all her confusion, weaknesses about accepting shiv were glorified as maa ko vaada or taking time to forget her ex beend as excellent traditional village qualities. If it was a city girl they would have labeled it as using shiv under false pretenses.

Why don't they stop generalizing and stop pitting city girls and women versus village girls and women against each other. making city girls and women look insensitive, brainless, egoist.

seems we all pity dukiyari's and we are stuck in cindrella and evil sister fantasies. We all like to hear about stories where the downtrodden rise up in life. CVs are capitalising on this fact. Why not just bash the rich and affluent and portray them as evil.

Hey 👏 perfect point has been raised...i like your post👏

I think Balika Vadhu is watched more by the small towns and village people most so maybe they are trying to engage more of such an audience...

I think CV's should not do this...they are trying to 'divide and rule' by dividing the city girls and village girls...

tho its bad saying abt city gals. but CVs r showing sum city gals as bad like sanchi & gauri tho gauri is not a city gal as shes from village, bcoz there exists such type of ppl.
but why r we 4getting ashima who was NRI but shown as nice & gud.😊

i think we over react wen such things r shown. we shudn't see it in this sense. and i think CM said this just 2 show sanchi mirror who'd so many prejudices wen it cums 2 villages & village ppl.

I dont think Saanchi is bad dear..i think just that she has her reservations against anandi and her own perceptions..and she has no patience..so she blurts it out at any time...

shes not bad in the evil sense but shes also defntly not nice human being. bcoz she so judgemental abt villages, village ppl but herself has such a backward thinking. and she doesn't've reservtions against A as shes showing such behaviour wid all village women.

Yes...Ashima, Shiv, Mahi..all are city people. Also Shivani was from city. We don't have to take CM's words seriously. Gauri is a 100% villager who studied and lived in Mumbai for a few years.
