The recent posts and reactions to the show seems to point that Astitva is losing its uniqueness!!
The reason so many people loved this serial was that though fictitious, viewers could still relate to the characters of the show. It had a very logical storyline unlike most of the hindi shows and movies. Though most of the things happening in the show do not happen in real life, they were not extremely far fetched.
In reality, most of us would fall in the gray category. Very few people in this world are pure white or pure black. (white being perfect human and black being evil). But recently, the main characters are either too good to be true or too bad to be true!!
Also, there are few things that are so illogical that viewers are obviously getting frustrated. As someone had suggested Poonam should be the main person defending Simran and explaining things to Astha but she is nowhere to be seen!!!
One thing is certain that you cannot protect your loved one from the adversities of life by lying or decieving. One becomes stronger by facing problems. you can only teach your child to face problems bravely, instill right values so that they can use their judgement to make better choices in life and then trust them.
In India we still like to paint a rosy picture of a bad scenario, assuming that the other person will not be able to face it very well. I have heard a number of incidents when a terminally sick person is not confided of the situation. Do you think it is fair that just because the relatives underestimate the person's ability to face the fact, he/she is robbed of the opportunity to plan the final days of his/her life? Sometimes it is the other way as shown in movies like "Waqt", "Kuch kuch hota hai" etc. I can understand young kids but even adults are not told the truth!!!
I know this is a little off topic but it just wanted to share it.
