generally sonyfan post the update after half n hour after the show

@ chandraketu ,i edited my mistake

& as far as i know sitaji was totally unaware of her banishment ,its lakshman who informs sitaji in the jungles tht Ramji has left her ,sitaji was so shocked tht she tried to end her life by jumping into the tamsa river which flows near the valmiki ashram,rishi valmiki comes & save sitajis life ,this was shown in the movie sampurna ramayan !!!

Sita

They showed that in Bajrangbali as well - her wanting to jump into the Tamsa, but Valmiki stopping her.

But in the original Valmiki, Sita does not try to kill herself. Instead, she tells Lakshman that had it not been for the fact that she was pregnant, she would have ended her life. Here, in today's episode, they show her threatening to end her life if Rama doesn't exile her. The real Sita would never have done that, as I mentioned above.

I read Mandodari, but I don't get what the Sagars are trying to do here? Sita's strength had already been amply demonstrated by her rejections of Ravan - nothing like that is needed here any more. I also don't like their inserting Sunaina into this - it's not there in the original, and had it been, Rama might have determined that it made sense.

After all, how did this exile happen? Sita had chosen to visit some rishis, and Rama asked Lakshman to leave her near Valmiki's ashram, taking advantage of the fact that she'd be going there anyway. So had she been going to Mithila, similar thing would have happened - she'd just have been left there, with Lakshman asking Janak to take care of her indefinitely. So I don't think that the plots, had they followed these scripts, would have played out that way.

P.S. I enjoy your updates, but support whatever you decide to do - don't want to contribute towards complicating your interactions/relations with other posters.

Anyone good at math here unlike me? How old was Sita when she went into the earth?

Originally posted by: _LalithaJanaki_

It's hard to calculate because there's different ages in different versions, and I don't remember what Valmiki Ramayan says about Sita's age, but I'll tell you with the ages I know.

I think Sita was 14 when she went with Ramji to vanvas (sorry if I'm wrong), and 14 years later, she'd be 28 years old.

And I grew up learning that she and Ramji were together for two years after Rajyabhishek, so she'd be 30 when she went into Vanvas.

And I also learned that Sita was in Valmiki Ashram for the next 12 years, so by my calculations, she'd be around 42 years old when she went into the Earth.

Sorry if I'm wrong. I think some versions say that Luv Kush were 14 and not 12 when they were reunioned with their father. I don't remember what Valmiki Ramayan said. But I'm sure that she was definitely in her early or mid-forties. Right?
