I have been wanting to say this for a long time, but somehow hesitated from doing it. I would like to see Sandhya being shown failing at times. Do not get me wrong. I am no Sandhya basher. In a three hour movie when we see heroes fighting 15 men at a time and still escaping unhurt, we are able to take it as it claims to impart no Nayi Soch and from the beginning only claim to provide entertainment. Here SP keeps showing us Nayi Soch meaning it is meant to inspire many. Sandhya being a super woman can be entertaining but not inspiring. To get inspired means you should be able to emulate partly what Sandhya does which till now seems impossible to my mind. She is shown fighting terrorists, Swamiji, Maithee and now the Khaps single handedly and winning at all times.No doubt the IPL pressure may have compelled them to turn the tide and give a feel good feeling to the viewers.That is understandable but at least in future let them not show her topping the University by attending college for a week and managing the marriage in the RM mad house or passing the civil services without coaching or after studying for a few hours. The IPS track can incorporate failures disappointments and than a determination to succeed despite all odds. The civil services can be given 4 times. Let them not show her getting through in the first attempt. It is one of the most difficult exams in the country and at least here let Sandhya be shown as being human and not a super woman. No offence just a point of view.

Excellent post UMDU Ji. And they don't call me your twin for no reason...because i agree with you here too 😆
I guess I have different expectations from DABH than with other serials because it tries to impart a message. And for the most part it's been very good at doing so. Still I prefer the CVs stay on the side of realism and make Sandhya human rather than Super Woman.
For example, remember the singhar competition? They should have let Vikram and Meena win...because they had more pieces of jewelry on...yet they let SurYa win because Suraj didn't want a defective piece of jewelry to prick Sandhya...I mean come on...that's a bit too much. 🤔...at least it was for me.
And I don't even want to get started on the Momli track...it was so unreal. I just don't buy it that the entire clan agreed to the marriage because of Kajri acting as Savior and Sandhya jolting them to their senses with her bhashan. People don't change their centuries old mind-set with just one lecture...and that too from "outsiders"...plus Momli's situation was one of inter-faith not inter-caste.
Bottom line...Sandhya needs to be shown to be making mistakes every now and then.
I'm actually glad that the CVs showed her falling asleep during Momli's engagement. It was realistic. Even super heroes need their sleep. 😆

Is BA final exams are so much tough that intelligent/excellent student like Sandhya who topped in academic till 2nd year can't manage to top in 3rd year?
(I'm not referring to university top but at least among top 5 in the class).

Whatever I've observed about college studies is that if 12th base is powerful of any stream then one can manage to score well throughout college with least efforts. I mean one night before exam day preparation is enough.🤔.

We always wanted to see Sandhya balance and excel = studies + household work then now what's the problem if she tops in the college examination?.

Rajsthan state education board level is even poor than Gujarat state education board then I won't be surprised if CVs show Sandhya top in the exam. Even in real life we've seen so many persons cleared IPS/IAS exams - work whole day + study in night. (I remembered story of vegetable seller who used to stay out whole day to sell vegetables n managing studies n cleared the exam as well.)

As far as, RM madness is concerned Sandhya is habituate with it. I don't think so it can come as a hurdle in between for studies. Nowadays marriage preparations ain't that much headache. It's not like CVs showing her managing everything alone. Sooraj, Bhabasa, Chaturi, Chotu, Vikram all are helping her. Waise, They've shown Sandhya failed miserably in the older episodes so much in household works.

Sandhya has a clear goal/vision in her eyes what she wants to achieve - accordingly she is putting efforts. I don't think so hard work always pays off. First one has to be smart enough what he/she wants to achieve then accordingly do hard work..

Above all, when someone has strong determination/passion towards goal - no force in the universe can stop him/her from achieving it. To make it more realistic we can put Sandhya's abilities in the category of greatest scientists like Dr. Abdul Kalam, Stephen Hawkings..😃.

I know in the end we both are gonna disagree with each-other but still yeh Badatmeez dil manta hi nahi..😆. Anyhow, Once again very good discussion topic from your end.👍🏼.

Thank you Fathima. I also liked her sleeping scene as it appeared realistic. IR track was a total washout. I do want CVs to work on this and show her to be more real, having failures and than rising up. It will be more inspirational that way.

Amlu thank you for your comments. I think you did not get what I was saying. I did not say Sandhya should not pass third year. I said she should not be shown topping. Having attended a week in college and a week of studying cannot make you top no matter how intelligent you are. Sandhya is doing theoretical subjects which require a lot of studying more than intelligence. One week of studying is definitely not enough for topping no matter which University you are in. Regarding Kalam or Hawkings they were average students in their school days and have had their share of academic failures.. So the situation is not comparable. Civil services, requires intense preparation even if you are an IIT topper for a period of one year. Regarding myself, I completed my education with my husband's support but I did not top the University. I had a very supportive family which Sandhya does not have. Suraj helps, but the main burden falls on Sandhya. I want Sandhya to be shown as a a normal intelligent girl who struggles and succeeds. That is likely to be more inspirational than the super woman who changes century old mindset on IR marriage, exposes the Swamiji and does not suffer a backlash, handles terrorists all alone etc. Make her appear more real. Make mistakes like she did sleeping as Fathima pointed out, so that we can look up to her. If you show a super woman than it is entertainment not inspiration.

nice pov umaji
but cvs would have also thought of this, thats why they introduced the matkas and meena keeps reminding of it every now and then , this shows cvs will make sandy do mistakes, only then it will create a hype whether she can save the last matka. or not,

IPS track is the main track of this show, she is gonna write her final year exms, still there are lot of exams to be written so they will take to a nail biting finish ( for that they will have to make sandy do 2 mistakes )

Thank you for your inputs rama. The matkas were introduced but have not broken. Show them breaking at least one matka. My point is don't make her a super woman. Show her making mistakes, losing once in a while so that she appears human. They should not show her succeeding, topping, winning laurels in everything without faltering at all. Real life is not like that. This is an inspirational show so a touch of reality should be there. She can have exceptional abilities but a mistake or two will make the episodes appear real. Let us hope CVs make note of it.
