At this time I firmly believe who so ever has been writing for SP for the last three(3) months has a narrow view of women and children. In retrospect the last three (3) months they simply laid the ground work for the now infamous leap. However, they failed to clue in the audience who were following the Nahar death track. One is still left clueless about amrit. How do you create discrimination when there is no discrimination? There was no way a child born to NS would not have been loved and not had an enjoyable childhood. But how does one create discrimination? I guess in the writer's mind by giving the child a heritage as a servant. Its funny Shweta is a low-caste adopted baby but the 'aunt' or Kaveri doesn't point that out or make a fuss but the real shocker is a high-caste Rajput girl being dark is the bigger problem (I don't think that's a problem but if they are being small-minded that's an example of being small-minded). I don't think the writer knows what discrimination is.
As a heroine for me Saawri was a failure - to me she was simply a Saloni lookalike or a wanna be Saloni. The show degenerated into a Bidaai wanna - Bidaai is a story of two sisters, Sadhna (fair) and Ragini (dark). Sadhna is the adopted child in the family. Eventually two sisters marrying two brothers with one sister sacrificing for the other in this case the adopted one.
Savri for me had no passion or drive. I found it really funny in the last episodes that Saawri was unaware of why her mother went to jail. We had characters as Kalika and Aditiya who had passion for their mother, our new heroine had no curiosity to ever look seek or ask about her mother. She lived in that house for six years where her mother was hated and she had no passion to find out about her mother. Dash, who knew Saloni for six years - wanted to know the truth. Why did she go to jail etc. Sawri could have stood up to her grandparents to marry the old man. But she could not seek to find out about Saloni imprisonment from them.
I do not think the writers have any idea what a happy ending is, if the marriage of Sawri and Shweta is a happy ending or a logic conclusion then they have failed miserably. Saloni's character was expected to forgive Nahar's family. But the writer's heap further unhappiness for the character by making her go back to that home. They should have left her in the ashram where she was at peace with herself. They brought her back to supposedly take care of her daughters. But as she arrives they are then married off and she's left in the house alone with Tara et al. As normal no poetic punishment or plain justice for Bhaboo or Tara or Kaveri.
Why not have the girls' decide they need to finish their education before settling down or wanting to spent some time with their mother who they haven't seen for years before settling down or simply they are too young to get married. I remember the scene where Saloni, Pia, Savitri and Kakasa was talking about what they wanted their children to grow up as. Saloni wanted Shweta to be a doctor, Pia wanted Vaidei to be a Pilot and Savitri wanted Sawri to be a good person.
