@payalgarg, Am not sure what you mean by majority do not approve. Is that region specific?
Mayank and Gunjan's relationship is taken as valid in the entire Southern and Western states of India. By population that's around 60% of India.
I understand that such relationship is not valid in your community, but it is valid in my community. So neither of us is wrong.
I checked with my Kayasta and Vaishya community friends from UP, some say its valid and some say its not valid. My friend with a Garg surname got married (arranged marriage) the Gunjan/Mayank type of relationship and she did not face any questions at all.
So I conclude that its to do with individual communities/families. So people who are posting in the forum welcoming this relationship(like me) are doing so because it is allowed in their families and hence see nothing wrong.
At the end of the day the serial is based in Varanasi, so the CVs should check what the communities there feel. If the majority there feel the relationship is incorrect then I agree that it should not be shown.
