So I ignore things I do not agree with but still watch it because they got important aspect of the show correct. Most shows try to get everything superficially correct, like black and white and that is something I completely not enjoy watching as its pretty one dimensional. Kuchh bura hua? Puja - Havan kar lo, upvaas kar lo, paath kar lo. But this show has stayed away from that for the most part. Its all about changing oneself from within.
@bold: WORD. And that's the gist of it really....most shows focus only on the superficial things to check off boxes of black and white....ki yeh bura hai, yeh sahi hai....and that is what I mean by the fact ki logon ki soch mostly utni hi chhoti rehti hai chaahe koi bhi yug ho....which is why most shows only cater to that lowest common denominator cuz most ppl are stuck in that level of thinking only.
RK ki story is just too radical for any time actually if you think about it😆....matlab kehne ko aajkal society is more open but aaj bhi kisi ki samajh se baahar hi hoga inka rishta....but back then, when society was even more orthodox in thinking and rules/regulations....waise time mein toh ofcourse inke relationship ko acceptance nahin milti. To even begin to process their relationship, one has to stretch the boundaries of their thinking and expand it beyond the typical conditioning. And conditioning se upar uthna is very difficult for most ppl. Not everyone is fascinated by spirituality in that sense I guess.....lol but to me that is what makes the concept of the show beautiful....there is ofcourse the whole aspect of looking inwards and self-reflecting about what really matters in love beyond the material things that most people fixate on....but there is also that sense of yin and yang between RK and you do get the sense of how they complete each other on so many levels.....and they've portrayed it all in such a chaste sense. When people try to mock them saying ki Radha Dwarka mein kya kar rahi hai, wahaan toh Krishna ki wives hain who are his "legitimate" family...that is when I feel like defending the core concept more.....who are people to decide what is "legitimate" for RK?😆....Phir toh show ke concept ka koi point hi nahin....if Krishna was meant to only live that typical saansaarik life of wife and kids, then why would he need to have this journey with Radha to explain love?
Abhi story mein Krishna's own son is maligning Radha and saying she's not a part of the family so what is she doing there....lol now we can say that it's TRP masala or whatever but then I look around and see ki log waise bhi yehi keh rahe hain toh it doesn't seem far fetched😆....and then the need for the show's concept comes through more. I think the point most people miss is that Krishna isn't saying ki sab log ek taraf wives rakho, ek taraf "param sakhi" rakho😆.....they are taking it too literally rather than understanding his larger point....his love with Radha ofcourse is not what the average human being would have.....his love with Radha is a tool that's meant to educate....that is what people aren't getting I guess.
