Mittals r orthodox & backward ??? - Page 2

I agree that, they're showing orthodox ways, but these ways are always being challenged, and the challenger wins. They don't portray all of this to promote it, but to show growth. Watch, sooner or later, Aarti is going to drop the ghunghat too. Her and Pari both take if off the moment they're in their rooms. One of these days they'll forget, and then just slowly stop bothering.

Its strange, but I find PV, with all its 'traditional' trappings, much more progressive, then say, shows like Kya Hua Tera Vaada. Both shows are dealing with a similar message these days: a woman's personal identity.
PV stays strong that Aarti is Aarti, and no matter how many times a person calls her Arpita, or insists she be called such, she will stay her own individual self.
Then you have a 'modern' show like KHTV, with all the trappings of a modern show (i.e: they live alone, have a flat etc). But, after stating that Mona has no identity other than that of a wife (Mrs Pradeep Singh, I think they said), they go on to expressly state that that is okay. She is currently on a fight to win back her husband, after he has abandoned her and her children for another woman. He doesn't even want partial custody of their children, and is shocked (and annoyed) that Mona wants them to stay with him. He preemptively agrees to any condition she has (in order to get a divorce), because he's just that adamant about getting rid of her.

Then you have PV. Aarti's pain, and unwillingness to let go, isn't portrayed as her 'duty' to her husband. In fact, it was shown in a way that made us almost a little disgusted with her desperation.
I know its strange, but once I looked beyond the physical trappings of family dinners with bahus as servers, an extended family home, ghunghats, and a horrible MIL, I started to love them for what they symbolize. In this show, all of these trappings are being portrayed as traditional (and maybe a little regressive, depending on the trapping), but they aren't being shown as 'correct'. That's key. Normally I don't watch Saas Bahu shows, but PV is sort of re-defining the genre. Hope it sticks.

I think the purpose is to put the highlight on these issues that still exist in some orthodox societies and show the world why they are not right. A lot of ore shows like kggk and ksbkbt try to prove these traditional methods are right over progressive ways. Here it's the opposite there highlighting how orthodox methods are unjust and wrong.

well not all cities are like Bombay Delhi Bangalore

Secondly in 50% joint families fall in this category.So they are not showing anything out of ordinary.

Just becasue you can afford 100 cars , live in mansion and have lot of money doesn't make you changes your custom tradition outlook broadmindedness . It is all slow process and requires very delicate balance of what is acceptable to what extent .

Those are the issues they are very nicely bring forth with this show. Like Praidhi asking how to address her husband, respect is not in trying to use his name or not use his name , it is in yur heart. You can't be saying ajee suniyae ji and cursing poor hubby under ghoonghat. Or publicly disagree with your husband and create scene in front of several members of family. In that case you have insulted him no matter what.

Agree several things are going overboard.

Arti on her part is bending and accepting things positively but her MIL and FIL really are being so harsh to her .

Even Yash has a wall in front of him, his eyes are sending some positive messages but somewhere he is holding on strongly , he needs to remove those pictures from the wall and breathe more in with an open mind.

IF they are not happy with Ansh's upbringing waht about the 2 girls , they have not shown any manners yet , not even smiling to arti when she gets them ready for school .

Hope things look better in upcoming episodes with Arti change in costumes , she has beautiful hair and her eyes like Gurmeet speak volumes - want their relationship to succeed

coze now days no 1 care for other , family getting smaller and smaller

and coze of that depression and alzimers case increase . you don't have to follow but if u now , than u handle verywell in a your future life, if u have problem of...

i think that its specially de to the concept of the show.. I MEAN if this family was not orthodox, there wouldnt be any problems in the punar vivah, because its in the orthodox family that the punar vivah is like strange. so i think they are showing the real side of he remarriages not being accepted..
