In last couple of episodes, I have found Sita's character too fierce. I don't see anything graceful about her character anymore which her character is supposed to be carrying throughout the whole Ramayana.

In the beginning of Ramayana, Sita hardly even spoke but now I feel like she speaks too much and is very angry in almost all of her scenes. I want her character to stop for a while. In one episode, she asks to see Surnpankha and when in other episode, Surnpankha comes to see her, Sita is like what are you doing here?

I know that Sita's character is very strong but it is also graceful at the same time. I feel like that directors need to pay attention to scripts and scenes. There were better scenes in the old Ramayana where we see different things about Sita: Sita crying in Rain under the tree, Sita getting scared, Sita talking with like Trijata like she is her mother (In this ramayana, Trijata seems like a helpless character who has to listen to everything that Sita stays. Their scenes are not memorable.)

It is not Actress' fault who is playing Sita's role but it is directors who need to pay attention to what kind of scenes they want to show to audience. They also need to make sure that they do not repeat the same thing over and over again because it gets boring.

What do you all think?

You are exactly right, mayoopatel. Even I feel Sita's character in this Ramayan is being twisted. But do you know what? I have given up stating my opinion about the Ramayan, because people in this Ramyan forum don't appreciate any different opinions. When they say they like someone or something, the like someone or something, and god forbid the person who doesn't!😕 Recently, I have received private messages telling me to stop "bashing" this Ramayan, when I'm only stating my opinion. But hats off to you, who are "brave" enough to submit something controversial in this forum!😉

Good luck!😆

We are not expecting polite replys, but more scenes showing Sita's soft nature along with this. Because whether people believe me or not, Sita did have a soft nature, and I personally don't feel Anand Sagar conveyed Sita's soft side, only her angry side. If he added more soft natured scenes later on, this Ramayan would be better.😃

sagars are showing many thing... which we have seen first time.but they are not illogical too...quite possible......

and reagarding Sitaji.. i want to add up she has been sweet and kind to the ppl,whom she need to be...

one more thing, with Mandodari, and Ravan's mother (kekaksi), she even had a talked with them.................she was polite with them, but at the same time she warn them,,, that she should have done...because she is not kind of lady who believe in war, by warning them she just trying to stop all these stuff, doesn't that represent her softer side...she speak sweetly with both of them, and but when she has to give warning she needs to be loud....., otherwise it will not be a warning it will be more like a request...., which means she don't have faith in her husband...

with more Surpankha stuff.... , we can't expect to welcome her even if she had called her, like she has done to earlier ladies...

as Surpankha don't have sense how should.. we need to talk to a lady(even though she is a lady herself)give warning....

For me stuff they are showing if it is not divert the story to other part... then its ok....

You are right that Sagars are showing many new things but guess what? They are keep repeating those scenes over and over again and therefore these new scenes lose their importance. Just talking with manrodari or kekasi doesn't show that Sita is graceful. The scene itself doesn't do it all. It is also the script, the words that you speak and HOW you speak it. Where do you position yourself when you are saying it and many factors that lead to this. Have you ever noticed that Sita is standing all the time under ashoka tree when someone comes to see her. I hardly see her seating. If she is in seated position with her head turned away from bad people, then there you see gracefulness about herself. In older ramayana, sita used grass to create wall between her and ravana which was portrayed very elegantly.

They showed her crying n remembering Ram. the way she chats with Mata Trijata in so sweet. she used only two abusive words against Ravan that r --"dusht " n " paapi".

Now when Hanumaan has assured her that Ram is coming to Lanka to rescue her why she''ll shed tears

Ravan is repeatedly annoying her. Addresing her as his wife. trying to bribe her, using insulting words for her husband. Its natural to react so angrily.

Her conversation with Trijata, Mandodari, Keksi n Hanumaan was so graceful

Mayoopatel is right. Sita speaking politely to Mandodari and Kekasi doesn't show her soft side, because they were never horrible to her. And even with Ravan, Sita always didn't act angry. She used various techniques to make him see sense: anger, pleading, threats, distress, the use of Dharma in her arguments, strict expressions, etc. In this new Ramayan, the Sagars mostly show Sita's angry side, which isn't wrong, but they should also incorporate her other feelings and emotions as well, or else it shows a different personality to Sitaji from what is written in the book.

Also, it said in the book that Sita mostly sat under the tree and spent her days thinking of Ram. She didn't stand up and act haughty and proud whenever someone entered, even Ravan. Sitting down in comparison to standing up shows the true strength of Sita more than if she stood up, because by sitting down, Sita doesn't acknowledge the presence of Ravan, as if he is equal to any ordinary person and not worth her respect. Remember, one stands up when a person enters to show respect, so why is Sita standing up whenever Ravan enters? She's acknowledging his presence and it's almost like giving respect, which is completely wrong.

And yes, the scene in the old Ramayan where Sita pours out her sorrows to Trijata, and Trijata consoles her and shows motherly affection, was very beautiful and emotional. I especially liked the part where Sita held up the blade of grass in retaliation to Ravan's chandrahas, and how Hanuman describes that scene as how the strong famous Chandrahas looked very faded compared to the brilliance of Sita's blade of grass.

I think in this Ramayan, the beginning was better, meaning the Bal Kand and Ayodhya Kand. I think the Aranya Kand, Sundar Kand, and Yudh Kand are very disappointing compared to the earlier episodes of the serial. And no, before anyone comments, I am not bashing Debina, but only commenting on how the Sagars are taking this serial. I am sure that is within the rules!😕

Yes, I know Ravan is repeatedly annoying (although I don't know if annoying is quite the right word) her, but the true Sitaji in the books controlled her feelings towards him and for the most part dismissed him as one who doesn't deserve even her anger. And yes, I know she did show some feelings of anger in the book, but in this one, they showed too much, like slapping the rakshasi who told Sita Ravan was her husband. Sita never physically hurt anyone. Do you know what made Sita famous as a strong faithful woman? It was not her anger, but her controlling her anger. Because it is very easy for a person to get angry, but it is extremely hard to control that anger in times of distress, and the Sita in the book did that. That's' what made her famous. I just think the Sagars should lessen her anger feelings a little and show more of her strength that came from self control and despair.

do u want this ramayan forum to become like KHMK whre now ppl comes only to bash actores story and all. that forum i beleve now become a place when ppl when get angry go there and start showing there feeling to each other😕. very few discuss abt stories rest only creat chaos and critisize each other and the shows. well we know u don't like debina and we read ur views so many times. we only stated its too much. it seems as if u want ur ideas to get inculcated to everyone and you would not stop unless u acheive it. if u r not ready to change ur opinion similarly other will not change their opinion 😉

Only in one article I said I didn't think Debina fit, but that doesn't mean I don't like her at all! And please, don't ever compare KHMK to Ramayan. Everyone knows this Ramayan was taken SO much better!😕 Seondly, I didn't even bring Debina into this! It's the Sagars I'm talking about, not her! Lastly, of course I don't want this Ramayan to be like KHMK's forum, but I'm just saying that people shouldn't take it so bad when someone states another opinion that's not theirs, and I'm not talking about only myself. There are others out there who state some cons about this Ramayan, but immediately other people get very riled up and accuse that person of bashing this Ramayan!

And do you know what else? I don't really care if others change their opinion or not. I just think I have the right to express mine, but if you all think I've been expressing them too much, then I'm sorry.😭 I won't ever talk about this Ramayan again, and if you prefer, I won't ever visit this forum either. Goodbye...😔
