I agree that this particular track has not been well handled at all...I almost feel like the writers are trying to meet satisfy the demands of the modern and traditional mindset by framing the track as they have done.
The traditional mindset is the manner in which Anandi was pushed/forced into the marriage by everyone around her as if her life would never be happy again unless she was married. The fact that the family did not take into consideration her actual mental/emotional state and lack of readiness for marriage really irritated me to no end. And while everyone keeps yapping on about her becoming the daughter of the house, she is still expected and continues to play the traditional role of bahu of the house. If they really wanted to show that her ongoing connection was that of a daughter then Sugna should also have been shown as being a regular visitor/participator in the Singh family drama.
The modern mindset is that shown by Shiv and his maturity/understanding of the situation. However I feel that they have taken his characteristics to an idealistic level especially post-marriage. I'm not saying that he should act jealous, angry and suspicious like every other male character out there but he should not be seen as being taken advantage of by Anandi/the Singhs. Being married to a divorcee is not easy of course but the way BV have written this track makes Shiv look like he has to suffer so much just to get a little bit of affection from his wife.
These days exes can be friendly/friends and I am happy that the writers are trying to promote this however the way they have written the track does not really allows for this message to be promoted in a natural and convincing manner.
