First of all, I'd like to thank Rajan Shahi for giving us 3 wonderful shows in Bidaai, Yeh Rishta, and Swarg and such wondeful characters as well.
My questions are about Bidaai:
1) Why is that Ragini's basic character was completely changed to suit the rift track? Ragini has NEVER brefore been portrayed the way she has been in this track-selfish and uncaring. I mean, you had to show a flashback scene of her childhood to kind of justify her change, but then what about the character that we have been watching since before the rift track? She is the girl who has never, till now of course, doubted Sadhna's love for her: when Sadhna married Alekh, it was only Ragini who believed that there was more to it. All her life, her mother has badmouthed Sadhna, yet Ragini didn't listen, granted she never really stood up for Sadhna either, but she didn't ever believe anything her mother said. She is the one who refused to marry Ranvir because her mother was against the relationship. She refused to buy a lehenga because her dad would not be able to afford it. When her brother was in jail and her parents had been so badly insulted by Vasundhara, she thought about Ranvir's pain unselfishly. Yet now, she is totally different. She never once thought: Sadhna loves me a lot, and has always done everything in her power to make me happy. She has forgotten her maayka: she doesn't care about her father, and she has no clue whatsoever what's happening in her maayka. She is now perhaps the most hated character in the show, and because of this track people are even saying that negative characters like Chotima are angels when compared to her. Why was her character ruined so badly? And honestly, do you really think crying and a sorry will make things okay? You had said that rifts make relationships stronger, but that's not true when a 3rd person has to make one person realize that they were wrong!
2) Why is it that Sadhna ALWAYS suffers and her character is elevated to God-status while other characters are dropped into a pit from where it's impossible to come up? I hope you know that Ragini is not considered a lead by many people anymore because she has become a slightly grey character. Grey characters are never considered to be the lead.
3) When Ragvir fans say they want a Ragvir track, why is it automatically assumed that it means romance? Do married people only romance? Because that's what Ragvir seem to do: only romance.
4) Smitha's question about meaning of strong..
