Honestly, Raj should have been shot instead of Raman.

I agree that in rural India it is a possibility.
In my opinion, soaps ought to be a little more sensible than to glorify underage and child marriage.
They ought to stop glorifying marriage as the be all and end all of the world.
Nothing ever seems to be important in these characters' lives, but falling in love and getting married. They just don't seem to have a life other than that!
The men are seen wasting their lives. And the women are cooped up in the kitchens and crying all the time.
It's the mindset that needs to change.
I am very much an Indian and live in India. But maybe I am not so much of a soap Indian! These things do irk me maybe because I don't watch so many soaps.

You know what? I am yet to see a woman (or couple) on Indian TV who does not want a child, EVER. I'm pissed off by how Indian TV gives off the impression that all people want children and thereby all people are fit to be parents. This is so untrue.

Like I said before, you should read our old posts. I clarified all of this age stuff earlier.

Raj was two years old when Amba was almost full term with Preet. Raj is at least twenty. By the time the leap happened, Preet was eighteen but we have no idea when her birthday was. In the event that she was like eighteen and a half on her wedding day and Raj was about two and a half when Preet was born, he could've easily been twenty one at the time of his marriage.

As for their marriage being illegal if Raj is indeed underage, I guess it doesn't really matter if both parties are consenting and no one calls the police. Amba was fifteen when she married Charan. Simran was fifteen when she was going to marry Chandar (Raj gave Manu the idea to call the police). She and Raman were both around fifteen when they were going to marry each other.

I stopped watching Waaris after I saw the preview or promo of raj's contract drama. I finding it hard to believe that sakshi will turn positive. This might be her or mohini plan. But if she really turns out positive then I might start watching Waaris again.

Deciding to not have children, I would say, is far too progressive.
These Hindi soaps haven't even reached a point where it is a common scenario for the women to work. No sorry, for the men to work. All that the men are seen to be doing is gossiping and plotting and planning.
I am a Tamilian and I have been brought with Tamil mega seriels. Tamil soaps are no way better than their Hindi counterparts, but atleast, the men work. Why only men? The women work. Most FLs work. And they hold better positions than their husbands!

I find it too much of a cultural shock.

Preet was born the next day after bhesaki festival ( sorry if I spelt it wrong 😛, btw isn't that the same day charan died? ) so I guess that's when her birthday is ( again sorry for any grammatical errors. )

Men walk around the house wearing designer business suits but money seems to roll in without any of them having to do any work. Well, the young men anyway. I guess their dads do all the work and give them all the money they need, no questions asked.

Preeti, I don't believe SD can become good either. IRL, someone like her would never become a good person. However, this is a soap and a very silly one at that. Anything can happen. I don't understand why Vindhya leaving has to mean that SD turns positive. She can just make an exit as a negative character. What on earth would turn her positive anyway? RajPreet getting married twice didn't make her back off. RajPreet kissing didn't make her back off. All of the various signs of Raj's obvious attraction to and lust for Preet didn't make her back off.
