CVs via DS has suggested that Ganga is Anandi 2. This was no doubt done to irk the character of Sumitra and signal Ganga's journey toward Haveli's new bheendi - aka Mrs. Jagdeesh Singh No.2/3.*

But, Ganga is not Anandi. Her vision is limited to her loved ones including the Singhs. This is apparent from her actions. She does not try to sort out the fraudsters or report them to the police. She stops the wedding of Daktarsa to Ms. DIvorcee and that for her is enough.

Sorry Daadisa, Ganga is not two steps ahead of Anandi. She is two steps behind. CVs, if you want to show her two steps ahead then have her address the issues not just discover and report them to the Singhs.

Then again maybe am mistaken and BV CVs no longer see a progressive role for women beyond marriage as they have reduced Anandi to Mrs. Shivraj Shekhar from a Sarpanch. And Ganga can only aspire to be Dr. Jagdeesh's nightengale not a Doctor herself

* Its 2 legally and 3 emotionally factoring in JG1 ka illegal marriage.

** Am not comparing actresses here nor bashing characters. Just pointing out the difference between Ganga and Anandi.

*** Lastly, I hope the BV CVs prove me wrong and show career growth of both Ganga and Anandi.

Good finding Anjana. Agree that Ganga's fight so far is in individual level; while Anandi's actions are in society level.

Anandi's track is going very slow. But I strongly feel that something major is planned for Anandi. After J-G marriage, A was very down and I used to feel frustrated seeing Anandi wasting her years in the haveli; but then; slowly she came out of that phase and she became sarpanch. Similarly I wish Mrs.Shekhar will start her new journey soon. May be CVs want to show Anandi entering politics/social work in Udaipur with full family support. I hope that they are working on the relationship front first to make it solid and then will start A's social work...

On comparison part, I don't like DS comparing Ganga and Anandi. They are two different individuals. They have some traits in common; but otherwise they are very different.

I agree with you Anjana but only to some extent.

Ganga is two steps ahead of Anandi only in the sense that her response time is quicker than what Anandi's was (after the leap) in a crisis situation.

If Anandi would have been in her place she'd have become shocked, talked to herself for a whole episode whether to tell anyone or not or cross check the family again etc. Whereas Ganga was quick to react!

Ganga is fundamentally also a bolder character than Anandi for she dared to fight against her husband and in laws repeatedly despite all the physical torture. She is bold despite never having received love in her life the way Anandi received as a kid from her parents and her in laws (except DS).

The only problem is that she did not report them to police and take action on a larger scale. But then she has never been to school either unlike Anandi who is a graduate. Nor did she ever see examples of people taking action in reality the way Anandi witnessed Bhairon talking of laws, arguing with DS and stopping some child marriages.

I can see why her circumference of action is limited till now compared to Anandi.

But I agree with you that I would hate to see such strong and potentially powerful characters like Anandi and Ganga to be reduced just to ideal beendnis of Shekhars and Singhs and loving mummies to their kids with no other identity of their own nor any contribution to society - which both of them are capable of in immense measure.

I am not really liking the way CVs are handling their characters as of now.

Anandi is just Mrs. Shekhar and here too she is not being allowed to be FULLY a wife! While Ganga's education was to start from Basant Panchmi itself but after that it was dropped like a hot potato and we never saw a book in her hands. Her fate also hangs in balance as CVs seem to have forgotten about her divorce proceedings!

How will she become Mrs. Singh till she is legally single?

I agree with you.There is difference between Anandi and Ganga.

Ganga's world as you said is much smaller and it is confined to her loved ones as opposed to Anandi's world.

But Anandi has been that way since childhood.She thought differently since childhood.

While she did well in school what set her apart was her drive to change the things that she saw as wrong in her society.

She tried to set things right in her own small ways right from her childhood and it did not stop eve when DS was oppressing and suppressing her in an effort to turn her into an ideal beendini.

Even post leap she immediately jumped to try and fight the unjust when she found it.Be it taking on Heth Singh in her attempt to stop Guli's child marriage at that time she was just eighteen years old and barely literate.

There were many instances she just took on the issues and fought for justice.Only that time she would she shed buckets of tears while doing all these things probably her tears were what made her seem like a wimp

And even while as Sarpanch she went against her own family even if it pained her.I don't think she was ever weak.

In fact Bhairon and co would have never bothered to stop child marriage and other social evils if it were not for Annadi.They may have just ignored all the things that were happening around them.It was she who woke their social consciouness.

Ganga just reacted without thinking and it did not even occur to her to verify double check and confirm to herself before going and telling Singhs about the family.

Anandi would have tried to cross check because she would have hated herself if her assumptions proved to be wrong.She is not the type who jumps into quick conclusions.

If it had been Anandi she would have come back and told Singhs to verify the family on account what she saw.

Ganga can never be Anandi.Ganga makes a good councellor to Singhs and a support to Jagya.Anandi is meant for bigger things.

As for the current state of Anandi's life I guess right now she is enjoying her new family and her new found love.I do hope they continue with her story soon.Ultimately it is all about Anandi spreading out her once broken and now healed and strengthen wings and flying high.

We cannot sketch the whole character of Ganga so early...she is new in Jaitsar and only close to Singhs...we don't know how will she handle any social issue becoz nothing much has happened in front of her

I would agree that CVs are making Ganga follow the same route as Anandi's...i still cannot believe that what has happened with AnSh's marriage...i thought getting married to Shiv will bring in more progress in her but she is going back to square one...even Shiv has not once thought of Anandi's career and studies...is he just happy to have a intelligent, smart and adarsh biwi who can take care of his family?😕

i was thinking that after marriage hopefully AnSh will shift somewhere else and than Anandi will start a new career...than maybe Shivaniji will come back and give Anandi some new project regarding women's welfare...soon Anandi will get pregnant and may leave her career for a while and than return back when her child is 5-6 yrs old...all this could have highlighted AnSh's relationship so well but all we get to see is how Saanchi is letting her down...haven't we seen enough of it from Gauri and that was far more better than all this...it complete stupidity that the youngest child of Shekhar family who ought to be studying is just wasting her time like this😡

The main difrence between Anandi and Ganga is Anandi is the lead character of this show and Ganga is not. Ganga will never be Anandi but we all love both characters.

I feel injustice to Ganga s character at this time as she is being compared with a character who has existance near about four years and other have just above four months.

Comparing to both at any level will not lead us to any conclusion. The circumstances under which Gnaga is staying in haveli is more like at mercy of singhs while Anandi was beendni cum daughter of haveli. No body in haveli dared to say Anandi recently but Ganga is being hated by Sumi to the core of her heart.

One thing has to be kept in mind that Ganga has a son for whom she is looking for a bright future while Anandi was alone without any hope in the life untill CS stepped in.

If the screen space to Ganga's chatacter is given at this pace, she will prove to be a leading lady for others. Her story will always focus on her son.

Finally Kudo to Daacter saab, who will be accepting Ganga with a kid, and I wish if the others would have also shown the guts to follow him in the show.

ganga speak frankly because singh family is not her sasural .if singh family would have sasural of ganga then she would have also hesistate while giving advice to singh family because generally girls cannot open mouth freely in sasural because she taught by mayka that u have to follow ur sasural way of living

singh family was sasural of anandi thats why anandi cannot speak frankly and she was following her mother (bharvi advice) .if singh family was not anandi sasural then anandi may also speak frankly

i do not want to make comparrison between a and g2 because everyone has different way to deal with problems .ganga way of dealing with problems is right so anandi way of dealing problem is also right

dadisa calling ganga as a2 because according to ds just as anandi took care of singh family so ganga is doing but still i am not in favour of calling ganga as a2 because whatever ganga is doing because it is her own quality .

Anjana, I agree with you, Both are different and in their own different way. It is Ds and co. except Sumitra who always says she is like Anandi.

Its not that education has changed Anandi and what she has done becoz of that, ofcourse that has made her more effective in every sphere of life. But its from the childhood she is like that, whenever she sees injustice she raises her voice though politely but always firmly which sometimes may be judged as her weekness .

Though DS was always against her, it is becoz of Anandi Bhairon used to run here and there to stop child marriages, to stop Phuli getting molested, Whenever she found some unjustice she went till end to uproot it in her own small way. She has that never give up attitude in her, from opposing to little boys putting muds on Bhairon to giving back Phuli's child.

Ganga is also very bold character but her periphery of thinking is very limited. She is careful and always concerned about her loved ones.

Even if we see her childhood time when her aunt fixed her marriage she very conveniently told her aunt to get her sister married but had it been Anandi she would never allowed injustice to happen with anyone.

We have seen in Ganga's case also she never thought twice before taking her home.

One more thing I feel Ganga could come out of her misery very soon , her misery was seen till she is in RATs house, But incase of Anandi we have seen her shedding tears for 3 years , its not becoz she is week, Ganga could never love her husband for a single day, So Once Ganga is out of RAT's house she forgot everything.

but Anandi loved J as if that is worship for her. Infact J also loved her and they share such a sweet bond since childhood. aab J is pendu that is not her fault. So J and his family is everything for Anandi, Whatever happens she used to keep their happiness ahead of hers. So even though we have seen her crying she never shown her tears in front of others, infact infront of J she never showed her weekness, For me to be like that needs much much more strength.

I love Ganga's character but for me in no way Ganga and Anandi are same,

Anandi herself dont know what she is capable of . Her raising voice for small small injustice can make her a big leader in this larger periphery . Hope CVs will show that,.Also want to see Ganga to explore her capabilities .
