Of late I have been getting increasingly concerned about the emotional health of kids like Mannu who get roped in for the "cuteness factor" and then they have to see their so called "serial moms" boo-hoo non-stop in front of them.

In every episode this week, atl;east one time Ganga has sobbed very convincingly and bang in front of Mannu and she has made him focus on her face. Assuming each shot takes a couple of takes - how much crying and sadness is that kid being subjected to ?

Kids have razor sharp memories and just bcoz they don't talk - doesn't mean they r not absorbing everything and trying to make sense of everything around them. There is SPCA for animals, isn't there some such thing for kids ? Nandu still gets fewer scenes and not such traumatic ones thankfully.

What do you all feel about this trend ? Do you think these kids may end up with some lasting damage bcoz of all the rona dhona ? These kind of shows can't be a healthy lifestyle for kidz. Would like your responses - I hope the CV's will pay attention too.

A very educating thread hooked. In fact kids start learning from their parents when they are still in the womb. They recognize voices even before born.

Now coming to the shrill yells when they are around. they will for sure petrify and some mental disturbance will be there. they tend to get fearful . When hearing scoldings their learning ability decreases along with being converted into introverts due to fear or extra extroverts to the fear of being silent or alone. basically blabbering chatterboxes with no sense in what they talk.

And when grown in abusive environments(virtual). They wont be able to process the sudden changes like Actress cries on shot and then sit relaxed in a chair an sip tea. Again shot ready she will cry. They will turn insensitive to tears. they will never process it as something sad. this confusion in processing continueson and off. They will either be confused souls or be with low self esteem.

I would suggest parents look into the storyline as well as the paycheck well in advance and then decide. Nothing should be more important to a parent other than providing the best for their kid with the means they have.

I know one such case where the mother is taking her child to a psychologist. The kid was part of a dance reality show for 7 months. while the shoot was going on they used to introduce cat fights between the kids for masala. this ended up in word wars and now that baby girl who is 9 years old is utterly rude and violent.

She dosen't think hurting others is bad. and thinks flinging bad words is good as she saw people laughing and clapping for that. Her mother was now disapponited , she was there with her all the while and did nt mind the mud sling at show. She thought her daughter will flip back when the show is over but it turned out worse. That kid who is barely 10 now is termed as the most abusive kid in her school and got removed.

People who has no kids crave for them , Dream about having one. Would kill themselves for having one child but I feel ashamed when parents use kids to mint money. Sad, but yes it hapens

Worst is avika gor...she has been turned into a housewife at 15!!!
Dunno how her parents allow doing role of a grown woman.
early touch with celebrity hood creates prob...there r numerous examples in hollywood.

Libsrocks -
I am sure the parent of Mannu must be on the set. But I meant - why not shoot a scene sensitively around the kid. Why do so much drama around the kid (the Gehna godbharai spill) and later her bawling her eyes out and scolding him.

Even if the mom gets to hold her kid later and say - Good Job my son ! Is this not insensitive ?

I know what sells now and what raises TRPs is total OTT drama and shock value. So then - Do that with Saanchi, let Ashima and Mahi get totally scandalous - but why subject the drama AT Mannu ?

Is only the parent of Mannu responsible ? What if the parent is not sensible, what if the person is just a relative or maybe not even that ? Shudn't we as viewers protest at this sort of cheap publicity stunt ?

I am stuck on this show, I will watch till Dadisa is there. If they ever take her out - I'll go, but just coz I aM here NOW, must I have to put up with this blatant shameless tear filled nautanki in front of a child and see his sad, cringed face ?

A child shud be kept happy. So far, I loved the scenes whenever Jagya wud get to take him or play with him or people held him. Its just this non-stop cry fest.

Avika is a very very tragic case. Maybe she went nuts over her fame. Maybe her parents found it difficult to refuse the "ghar aayi Laxmi" and not just allowed - but encouraged their not yet 16yr old - to play the married wife of a 28 yr old. I mean - how sick is that ? Full maang bhari and mehendi and all kinds of suhaag stuff.

You what I really really felt bad about ? Avika had such a fat fat FAAAT plait. Rich thick long luxuriant hair. Hair that made me want to swoon. And I knew the stylists wud want to get their hands on it and ruin it in super fast time. And just look - they have completely ruined her hair.

All their stupid gels and styling moussses and what nots and the stupid bangs and cuts - have resulted in such a pathetic thin sad short braid.

The amount of mascara and eye makeup she puts on - by the time she is 18, she'll have lost all her natural eyelashes too and will want to wear fake ones coz she won't "feel pretty" unless she does.

SAAAD ! That's one very promising talent thats going to burn out by the time she gets to the age she's playing now.

Good topic Hooked.

Yes it is not nice to involve a baby so much in such shoots .

Not just when it comes to acting, it would be ridiculous if a mother sheds buckets of water in front of her baby talking about her "lost love" etc etc...Ganga is shown to cry very frequently in front of mannu. In real, I've seen women hiding their tears and putting a smiling face in front of their babies while this mother in this serial goes on crying and talking so much sad stuff with her toddler. They never showed her teaching him nice simple things though! Since the character Ganga wants to see her baby as a great person , i wish the CV's do things which would effect the baby positively and not so negatively.
