Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo!
Character Sketch + Story Till Now
Since we have many new characters in the show, and with new members coming to the forum I have created this thread for all you guys.
Here we will have:
Post 1:The basic setting of the Show and what it is about.
Post 2: Character Sketch, will contain descriptions and pictures of all Characters.
Post 3: The summary from Day 1 till now!
Agle Janam Mohe Bitiya Hi Kijo, is a story of seventeen year old Laali's optimism about life and her courage and compassion when it comes to rescuing her family from the throes of hunger and abject poverty. The term poverty is a relative concept. Even after more than 50 years of Independence, India still has the world's largest number of poor people in a single country.
On one hand where the show talks about poverty, on the other it also highlights the fact that in this male dominated society, a woman has not lost her identity and has the ability to overcome barriers. Our lead protagonist, Laali, sets an example by supporting her father to run the family. The show shatters the age old myth about women being looked down upon in Indian society and at the same time brings to viewers 'another' India where people have to fight hard to house one square meal a day.
In the background of poverty, the extreme sacrifices that Laali makes is a moving story. This seventeen year old girl lives with her parents and her younger siblings in a village called Koyna in Bihar. They come from a low cast background and by profession are rat killers or 'Musahars' who help the Zamindars to protect their land and homes from infestation. The father scrapes together a small income and the girl does odd jobs around the village to support him. And like any other girl her age, she also dreams of a happy life after her marriage to a man who loves her. So will her dreams ever come true after a life of struggle and disappointments? Will her father be able to fulfill his daughter's desires after he has seen her give up her childhood to help him meet ends?

The Story from Day One Till Now!!!
The story starts with this family who live in a very remote part of of Bihar, India. They are very poor, and live in a small shed house, on the outskirts of the village. They lack basic facilities like power, water, and even food. The father(Nanku) tries hard to earn money so he can feed the family. But because he has a limping leg, no one gives him any work. So sometimes, the family has to feed themselves by either begging or sleep without eating anything. Laali, their oldest daughter tries her best to feed the family as well, she goes around the village and does odd jobs. But Laali is already married, at a young age, and the family is worried how they will mange to do her Gauna(farewell/bidaii) since they don't have any money.
Other families in the village have the same state as well. And one of the family is Sanichari's family who is Laali's friend, her family is as poor as her, and it's time for her Gauna to happen as well. But since her parents are very poor they decide to sell Sanichari, to Bali(he deals in giels). Sanichari is taken away by men his men, but Laali doesn't know that she has been sold, she thinks her Gauna has happened.
Worried that Bali might try to buy their daughter as well Nanku and Majri decide to arrange the money somehow to fix Laali's Gauna. After working in the field for the entire day, they manage to get 40 rupees, and Nanku uses this to go to Laali's in-laws. But Laali's father in-law tells him that if the gauna is to take place then Nanku needs to give 10,000 rupees.
Nanku tries to arrange this money be stealing someone's oxes, but he is caught and sent to jail, and in order to get him out they need to give 10,000 rupees. And more problems arises for the family when Munna and Laali fall sick. Majri has no idea what to do, and faced by all these problems she decides to agree to Bali and sell her daughter to him. Bali then frees Nanku from jail and arranges the medicine.
Once Nanku finds out that Majri has agreed to sell Laali, he is heartbroken and they decide to escape from the village at night, taking Laali with them. But they are unsuccessful and are caught by Bali. Nanku pleads to Bali to not let Laali know that she is being sold, and that she should leave the house as if her Gauna is happening. And finally the person who has bought Laali comes to get her, it's Ranvijay, thakur's son. They also make Laali do the Suddhikaran ceremony, so that she is no longer an untouchable. Laali then leaves from her her house as a bride, and her parents are left crying.
Now the thakur family is introduced. But when there is no one to welcome Laali at the thakur household she is confused. (Remember Laali doesn't know that she has been sold). Laali is taken into a old room by dai ma, and she tells her to sit there. Laali waits for Ganesiya(her husband), but no one arrives.
Ab aage dekhte hai kya hota hai😆
