Abhi's little prank - Page 6

If makers of Balika Vadhu were really against bal-vivah - they should have deglamorized it completely. I believe they did not do any research on the subject before presenting the serial. So, all they could show as adverse effect of bal-vivah is - the girl doing household works, stopping education of girl child and cruel in-laws. Now if we see the reality of population where bal-vivah is prevalent - we see the girls doing household works and not going to school even if they are not yet married, Cruelty of in-laws can affect any bahu - it is not because of bal-vivah, but because of the position of women in general in society. Other effects - abandoned brides and widows and cheating by husband - these problems are also being faced by women who marry in adulthood. 

Who would want to watch deglamourised documentary style way of telling ill effects of child marriage?

If people can watch Uttaran with a deglamorised Ichcha and Damini - people could certainly watch a deglamorised balika vadhu. It is personal choice if some people say that the serial did achieve greatness - because these people are happy with Anandi connecting with Singhs (who are connected with Anandi through bal-vivah) only, was wishing to do away with Shakhers (who are connected with Anandi through marriage in adulthood) long before writers made Shakhers disappear. How many in general population think Anandi- Singhs better than Anandi - Shakhers? 

Don't know about Uttaran .Never watched it except for a few odd scenes here and there.what little I have seen didn;t appeal to me so I didn;t watch it so will not dissect and analyse why it didn't appeal to me and what writers should have done to make it appealing to the likes of me.

Someone said ''Anandi should  leave BH because  It won't do good for shivam  if he stays in the company of a selfish, attention seeking, inferior feeling  cousin who can do nothing but cringe about people better than him. Instead of tying shivam's wings Anandi should take him out somewhere to a better place. ...''

I wonder why Shivam, being  so smart,  an obedient, an impeccable  boy did not use those  wings to come  home from school. Abhi will  be punished as usual. And yes, children should be taught to deal with the consequences of their actions. But, is Shivam going to  be criticized for what  he has done coz   it wasn't   good either. For such a smart and capable boy he himself claims  he is, there were plenty of other options to safely go back  home, but since he's so smart and overconfident, he  put himself in danger.   Abhi's   not allowed to play ball inside  the house because  he might break something,  someone can be  hurt. The same rule does not apply to Shivam. His mother doesn't  mind if her son does the same thing which is forbidden for the other kid who happens to live in his own home. Or Shivam is so perfect so these kind of accidents are simply impossible when it comes to  Shivam. Atleast, one day as an adult  Abhi   will  know the difference between right and wrong, Abhi will know how  to apologize because his parents    taught him  so. Shivam will grow up as overly confident because everything he does is ok. And it has nothing to do with the  place    Shivam lives,it has to do with his mother and te way  she educates him. So both kids deserve a lesson on what they did.  I'm pretty  sure its not gonna happen, like always.

Abhi's little prank. He did not think about the seriousness. Just like Nandini.

Ganga wanted to slap him and anandi stopped her. Ganga clearly implied that she did not want interference from anandi in disciplining abhi. Abhi is getting confusing signals from elders.

Shivam looked distraught.

Let us see. Will the CVs do justice to this interesting track which is way better than Nandini's track?

Don't know whether this comes under prank or not.

Ganga Jagya instead of thrashing him and shouting at him should be asking question a simple question why did Abhi do that

Ganga may not want Anandi interference from Anandi but here Abhi is getting thrashed for what he had done with her son.

They all know that Abhi and Shivam are having problems - If Ganga takes Abhi to task over what he has done to Shivam it only make things worse.

Abhi will resent Shivam even more because of that and things escalate.

In this situation Abhi will only think that hisparents are supporting Shivam and not him and that's why they are beating him up.

Slapping him is no way to control the situation nor it is an answer to the problem.

Had his parents given him enough time and attention he wouldn't be this way.

It's high time Abhi's parents realised that Abhi is actually screaming for help.

They should realise that Abhi is taking out all his frustrations on that boy 

Ganga could have disciplined him in private instead of in front of others which would have been humiliating to the boy.  Here a good consellor can help the kids to overcome their anxieties instead of parents because parents cant be effective sometimes. Nowadays the emphasis is for counsellors in educational institutions and hospitals because the pressure of competition is too much.

The serial has many loopholes and thats why there is so much discussion and counterpoints. If the serial is flawless, then there will be very little to discuss about expect agreeing to what is portrayed.

Why Nandini only? Even the others are in full makeup in kitchen, after waking up, in sweltering heat, in all circumstances with not a strand of hair out of place. In tv serials, I have seen women coming to pooja rooms in heels and men sleeping with their shoes on.

I can see further worsening of situation in BH between kids. and that will affect everyone around.

As dadisa took the initiative to bring anandi and shivam in, she should also make separate living arrangements for them away from BH. Even then there will be problems as they share the same school.
