Sadhna: the essence of being a woman

What is the essence of a woman?

This was the question put to Sushmita Sen, who was the first Miss Universe from India (1994). Sushmita said "The origin of a child is a woman. A woman is one who shows a man what loving, sharing and caring are". Women's status is not to nod her head to her husband and be a show piece, but at the same time in an temmpt to make herself significant, she should not cross a limit. God has gifted the woman to bear the labour pain and bring forth a new generation. Such is the charisma of a woman. The character of Sadhna that the creatives sketched in Bidaai, had essence of everything:

These are few of my favourite scenes from Bidaai.

Very beautiful thread. You refreshed my memories abt the serial. Sadhana's character was truly very very noble and filled with true feelings for all the relations she was bonded. She fulfilled all her duties with devotion. ALAS !!!!! The story of Sadhana and Alekh should not have ended like this. That is my complaint.

"Sadhna, the human being" ... these were the word's someone told me once to describe Sadhna's excellence in that order. Truely a beautiful topic ... very valuable links provided at a time when things are to be wrapped up and memories to be shared.

Sadhna had been vulnarable at times ofcourse, but that vulnerability is a common trait in people who are good and try their level best to side with the best possible option which would ensure basic rights and justice to people, while at the same be bring a much lasting joy as possible.

Good people throughout time had been passionately critisized (whether Mahatma Gandhi of Martin Luther Kind jr. or even prophets who have been critisized to the point of their death). But what makes these people go beyond any criticizm is their deeds which show more durability then the criticisms.

Well, going with the story and the enviroment of the story, it seems this is a known and established fact by all the characters specially Ragini and Mamaji that Sadhna had set a standard with is either unattainable or very difficult to reach.

Even though she had been vulnerable of fragile at times ... she still moved ahead with her innate goodness. Even when there came a plit second moment where she had to decide to think rationaly and stay clear of danger OR to run across and push a child away from a very dangerous spot - she didnt waste time being rational, but just went on to do what is of the highest level no matter what criticizm or intelligence may come.

Indeed she was a good sister, daughter, DIL or SIL or wife ... but beyond that as someone once already said " a true human being ".
