A bidai is always done of a girl, maayka to sasural-so this show started off as a show of two sisters. The concept of fair and dark was very interesting and something I was willing to watch. At the beginning they kept to the original, however, I lost interest when it went into the same old ek hi jaan suffering-how cliched. After both marriages, bidai hogi thi so what was Bidai then?You're right. That is where the downfall of Bidaai began for me. Sadhna ALWAYS suffered and had to always be unhappy, like she was scared of happiness or something!I never liked this show b/c they never explored the concept. I hated the jiji jiji chant of Sadhna's, and Ragini's underdevelopment. I would have prefered some realistic storylines-Vasu ki treatment to Ragini due to her color, and dislike for Sadhna. I would have liked transitions to have been realistic.-even in rift track. I would have enjoyed the rift track if it was more realistic. I never understood why Ranveer was waiting for Sadhna to say it in court. He was all smiles when he was sentenced, and I was so angry at him. He could have easily told the court haan I did it. However, they illogically had to stretch it and make Sadhna suffer.They defnitely could have explored the original concept of dark vs. fair much more! Never understood how Vasu completely forgot about Ragini's color and her problems with it..I mean Vasu insulted Ragini so much and said so many harsh things about her because of her color to Ranvir that it didn't really make any sense that she completely forgot about it..I guess it was all about Ranvir + Alekh's happiness then..As for dislike for Sadhna, I thought DT stretched that too an extreme..the rift track was completely illogical..it elevated Sadhna to devi level, dropped Ragini into the pits, and made Ranvir and Alekh look like fools.Oh and then after marriage when Ranvir tells Ragini those three rules. I never liked Ranvir again after that episode. If it were me, I would have taken my mangalsutar and ring off, and would have given them back to him. I would have told him good luck buddy finding a servant, last time I checked I was a wife. Seriously now, husband nahi koi malik ho gaya.Sadly, I wish that was one scene I could completely erase from my memory. Hated Ragini and Ranvir so much in that scene. Could not stand how Ragini said nothing to him and just cried. Ranvir's reasons for all of that was the stupidest ever as well--I didn't want to hurt you..oh please..What is my point? Oh yes, generalizing that those who have watched from the beginning may not enjoy the leap is not fully correct. I am one of those who has liked the leap (mind you, I'm just waiting for the love story and Alekh's acceptance of Sadhna gone). Well, I never really care for the jodis so maybe that is why I don't mind when they break. I usually end up choosing the new person b/c they always seem to respect the individual more lol.I didn't think we were generalizing that people who watched Bidaai from the beginning might not enjoy the leap..I was explaining why I myself do not enjoy the leap and from what I understood, why some other people who have their dislike of the leap clear don't enjoy the leap..For me Bidaai has gotten to back to its' title-a bidai of daughters. Khushi and Tamana ki ab bidai hogi. Again both are dark and fair, but Tamana seems to have more self-confidence than Ragini did-maybe b/c of the enviornment. However, I feel there will be more testing times. Ragini has been through color discrimination and it will be nice to see how a mother in her handles it. Kaushi was a mami to Sadhna, but Ragini is a mother to both-a situation that I am more than willing to see. How will Ragini be a mother to both, and how the girls will grow up etc is interesting to me.Lols Khushi and Tammy's bidaai is atleast 15 years away..Somehow I don't think color discrimination is coming back..I think now it's more about whetehr Ragini will discriminate between Khushi-Tammy because Khushi is not her own daughter..Lastly, as this is a public forum everyone is entitled to have an opinion (theoretically speaking). Yes, there is emotional attachment to shows, but at the end of the day they are just shows. There is absolutely no need to argue with each other over opinions b/c opinions are not facts and everyone can say whatever opinion (IF it is polite to others' opinions along the way). Criticism and bashing have just a thin line separating both, so one needs to be careful. As this a public forum, the underlying tone of the post may not be read, and something very different could be taken. So opinions are most welcomed on this public forum, but these opinions must be respectful of others' opinions too.Well said!đThis is my POV only-my opinion.
