I have said this before, SNS is a very simple and rooted to Indian traditions, making it very special and probably the reason why its liked by so many viewers. In that case, doesn't this whole fake or real pregnancy track seem really out of place. I mean a bit to dramatic for all the good the show teaches. Its really family oriented. I was really proud that SNS didn't have such things in the show. But the more I thinking about the pregnancy track with Kinjal the more shameful it becomes. I mean what might have Koki been through, what it might feel like a mother to hear such news, even in reality, such news is horrible and every Indian parents nightmare. I don't know. I know everyone is taking it lightly because we know in the back of our heads its fake. But what if it was real. Why would SNS CVs want to tarnish this show? It was setting a good example, that you didn't need such tracks like unmarried mother, or intense love stories, or marriage for the 10x time, coming together and then separating. It was on simple everyday issues. They changed the whole moral of it.

Taral with u here 101%.
At first i was shocked to hear what koki told kinjal. I could nt believe that its the same show which WAS DIFFERENT n UNIUE, Believable, with no FALTU KA MASALA. bt cvs proved that TRP hunger can ruin thinking capability.

I always asked everyone around me to watch SNS coz IT WAS DIFFERENT THEN, bt today m just feeling bad that IT HAS BECOME SAME MASALA SHOW.

What in the world made you believe this show is about simple everyday things? It is sooo not about that. IMHO its like a wanna be Ekta Kapoor show, but without too much of her mega-drama. Gopi is the crying idiot of a protagonist who is unable to open her mouth and Raashi is a conniving idiot who keeps making life miserable for everyone else.... do you see the connection yet? There's nothing simple and everyday about ruining Diwali pooja and whatever else Raashi keeps doing. It's intentional and cruel.

Don't get me wrong, I like this show. But only because of Gopi's saas. I find her honesty and in your face attitude refreshing. Yes, she can be a bit much, but she truly loves her family, even Raashi, who we all know is an idiot. Plus, I really love the way she's able to garner someone's personality.

I beg to differ. I don't think SNS is a simple everyday drama. It started with a girl raised by her mami who tortures her everyday. Gopi is not from this world as no one can relate to her. She is from some other era. They unnecessarily glorify ghar ki ijjat, maan maryada when it would be more wise to give more importance to relations and ppl in the house rather than silly social images. Koki keeps insulting and taunting everyone except her dikra, Rashi is busy everyday plotting and planning against her own family. How often do we see that in society? Is this what Indian culture teach? Just because it happens in rich hindu family does not mean it is justified. And I am happy they are introducing Kinjal's pregnancy, real or fake. It would show how they handle an important social issue. I would say SNS CVs don't have enough guts to show a real pregnancy as they know they won't be able to handle the issue with their limited creativity staying within the SNS framework they have created. Koki being Koki won't let the girl utter a single word. Isn't it a failure of her own upbringing that her daughter has turned out like this? I don't think SNS is there to set an example or teach us anything good. It is just one more drama, but well executed. I just watch it and leave it. Just my POV. No offence meant.😊

I guess many of u understood what I meant differently... When I say simple I mean like household problems... Nothing outrageous like other soaps... For example, PR a never ending love story that took illogical turns.... Bandini...age doesn't matter n where human are immortal....Laagi tujhse lagan..bloodshed and weak trust...ect. Those kind of stories had some high intense dramatic unreal backdrop to it. I'm not saying they are not fun to watch coz I watch them also... But SNS was different...my grandmother who is 88 yr old always when SNS airs say " turn on my kokila" lol... N once she explained to me that " see how much Gopi takes...would todays girls take such attitude from there saas...now a days the smallest thing can turn into moving out..." so I told her Koki is not always right and she said " but that's what u have to understand n that'd what they r trying to teach... That maybe ur not always right (saas) and sometimes u have to let go for family (gopi).... Rashi is todays girl who have forgotten all of our culture...) this convo made me understand the viewer this serial touches are people like my gandmother...who love gopi for her personality.. That's what they see not her torture... They like koki because she is can be a real.... So when I say simple that is what I mean.. N when I say traditional I mean its rooted to our culture..... We have to see Both side of the coin... The drama in this serial is far less then others

@taral....i hv to say that all u said above is Why this show is doing well...coz everyone has something to relate themselves with the show......
just like u mentioned abt ur Grandmother why she likes Gopi....same is the reason my mom told me why she likes the show.....coz this show teaches a Gal to be patient and how she can lead her life in her In-Laws....otherwise todays gals are so impatient that they make mole out of molehill for every simple thing (no offence to any this age gal...coz m the same and my mom wants me to have a lil bit qualities of Gopi...to be Patient, to be caring but w/o expecting anything in return...)

@red......thats y Gopi is a character which is evryone's fav in the show...due to her "capability" to take anything with a smile and showing her resistance.....

@blue.....in a family one cant fight everytime to prove that she is right and other one is wrong....to be happy in a family sometimes one has to accept defeat for the sake n happiness of their family rather than start a fight.............

wow taral it was a wonderful post. yes i agree with you, when there are shows which make the sitting room awkward, this show has such simplicity that makes us hooked up. this charcter of kinjal is good for nothing, though the report is fake the emotional athiyachar of kokila must be taken into consideration. this is every mother's nightmare, eloping is different from premarital pregnancy.
@mona, i think there are women like gopi still in India, women who are literate and financially well off also suffer like gopi. the reason the show touches every one is kokila's character, she is like a jack fruit, though on the outside but sweet inside.

@sadhli - exactly that is my mom and my grandma love the show because gopi is the ideal bahu in our custom, smart, mannered, multi task, caring, loving......she wants to make a family not break.... But that doesn't mean that the modern day diva can't have some qualities of orthodox Sita.... I think a balance of both makes a perfect todays Indian woman. But many have forgotten the qualites which gopi portrays in the fast pace of he modern life. Rashi once she changes will be such a woman.

@shruhi- I agree with u there are still many Indian women that are well educated deal with emotional abuse from in laws. Being modern has nothing to do with inner strength... Also, having some of Gopi's qualities doesn't mean u have to take abuse either. But its about being patient with everyday small issues and learning to accept defeat for the familys sake as sadhli said. There is actually more to learn from SNS then meets the eye

@red - I agree SNS story is simpler compared to other shows.

@blue - Sorry no offence, but all grandmas like such characters. Its just the generation gap. Even mine likes. For my friend's mother in law Gopi is the ideal bahu. She many times sites her examples in front of me and my friend...😆 I have only one question - would it work the other way round? In SNS when Gopi makes mistakes Koki does not spare her even once and punishes her harshly. But Gopi is expected to forgive Koki all the time (not @blue&bold - sometimes) . Don't you think it is unfair?

Don't get me wrong, but the point I am trying to make is such characters appeal to a certain section of viewers, not all. I like Koki because she is intelligent and can see through ppl, but I hate the way she behaves with ppl.

Anyways - Coming to the topic, 'Kinjal's pregnancy in SNS'😛 - I think it is high time SNS shows some real drama rather than some petty schemes of R&U. But as we have already predicted, this pregnancy is going to be fake, so no surprises there and SNS will take it's usual safe route.

Finally I want to make a different point - Indian culture glorifies women taking abuse and enduring silently. Justifying it for the sake on family, kids, etc. 😕 This is utter nonsence. That is why we get to see only these type of women in all our telly shows. Taking abuse is not right in itself. What kind of society has some of its members living 'happily' at the expense of others? It's high time they show some women who can stand up for their rights and voice their opinions.
