Gestation , Manifestation , and Mutation , that was the character of the Anandi , the story of our Balika Vadhu !
Together we share our life story, we look for good in others glory -that was Anandi's motto !
Someone sent by god to do great things ,one of the heaven's angels with no visible wings , descended in to our drawing rooms to attract our attention , to mesmerize us to lead us towards this IF , TO SHARE , TO CRAVE , TO GRIEVE AND TO BELIEVE !
she was the definition of the friendship , greatest friend to all ! An iconic persona , a protagonist !
That is the summing - up of the story of our Anandi , the classic character from Balika Vadhu !
The seed was planted by child Anandi , a small sapling grabbed our attention and from then on we were not aware of the consequential adoration , it was just happened and tied all of us to the serial as well as this IF bonding too !!
At the start of the serial Anandi was just a small child , was the embodiment of impulsiveness and spontaneity. On the other hand, the transformation of her character towards the end of the serial from a joyous, spirited chirpy child to a 'waif-like' homeless ,neglected woman who is only interested in her children and while saving them met with a violent death . An inappropriate, almost humiliating ending to that classic character . Once a profound supporter of girl child and her education and an advocate of the empowerment of women , in her last stage was unable to reveal the truth to her own daughter and so hazy to decide what to do and what not to do , met her end in an unknown place and disappeared without any trace !! How can we forgive the writer and the director for this cruel joke they played with us ?!
Anandi was a breath of fresh air and laughter who knows instinctively that life is for living, for loving others , for helping and defining the real meaning of compassion . As the beloved only daughter of Bhago she has been raised in rural village to rule the hearts of million viewers world wide .
She struggled a lot in her sasra because of D'sa , but still sustained there with the love of Jaggiya and others . When the little Anandi was shut in the darkroom , how we all terrified for her wails , petrified for that small kid's frantic calls for help , for that shivering little girl , how we all extended our hands in our TV rooms to hug that small girl who was nearer to our heart at that time !
Later , when that budding love started blooming in the adolescent hearts of the Balika Vadhu and Var , when it blossomed , when it lured us all towards dreaming , how many smiles slipped from our lips irrespective of our age at that time ??!! It was a beautiful recollection period for many !
Still remember , how the young lovers struggled to have their first kiss , their conjugal bliss , when it started ,when it ended , no one had an idea , it was a flow , we swayed with her romantic feelings , we cried for her tears, fears , never ending sufferings , --how can we forget her longing for studies , her longing for freedom , her never ending tirade towards social injustice towards widows , fellow balika Vadhus , her fight against blind beliefs , social injustice -what a great character it was ??!! Where and why we lost her ??
Her huge popularity among ordinary viewers like me and great art critics like many ,acknowledged her as the foremost character in the contemporary Indian TV industry ! This character is not merely geographically oriented , but an expression of a contemporary woman's outcry of her soul , descended in to our drawing rooms as Anandi ! Her character went through irony and paradox , leads the viewer from the visible to invisible ! Many tears escaped from the cusp of our eyelids for her all the time !
When she was standing behind that closed door in her room , knowing that Jaggiya was in the hug of Gowri in the next room , they are enjoying their SR , on that day in my Anandi's eyes I have seen a tormented wife's pain , a tortured chick's silent wail , a crushed tender flower's muted voice , all the seas were not enough to store the tears we all shed that night , throughout the day with a frown on the face , with an uncontrollable anger how agonized we were in those days ?!
As she goes on an enormous journey , Anandi 's such a vast character to portray -I love my Anandi so much , many of us were quite protective too, shared an inexplainable attachment with her , as my favourite character she is a part that's going to stay with me.
It was quite an emotional bonding I shared with my Anandi , though illusory , it was so real to me , and
to many like me ! Will share some more feelings with you all tomorrow .
Thanks to friend Kase , for her words --
they did not kill it but slaughtered it in front of loyal viewers.
Bold --- Kase, your these priceless words made me to write this separate
post as--- Gestation , Manifestation and Mutation of our Balika Vadhu !
These words evoked an emotional outburst from this loyal viewer's heart .😭
