How can Ira equate Anandi & Ganga? - Page 4

I have been watching this serial from the beginning. I wouldn't say anandi is extraordinary but will definitely say she is not ordinary. A woman who cries buckets in spite of soo much love and support and who keeps throwing tantrums for no reason. Always interfering in others business and trying to prove to eveyone what mahan she is.

[

Anandi and Ganga are two distinct characters and it does not add value to compare them, for various reasons, one being that the CVs have not portrayed Ganga's character in a consistent manner.

Ganga was initially shown as a strong woman when she ran away from Ratan and tried to make a new life for herself and her child. The Singhs were kind to her and tried to rehabilitate her the same way they had helped many others in the past - Phooli , Gulli etc. The way she tried to stick on to the Singhs even after Sumitra had openly expressed her discomfort over an outsider trying to become too comfortable in the haveli was not very nice. She is a beneficiary of the Singhs and should have stayed within her limits, not presumed to give them long lectures and interfere in their personal affairs. As soon as Sumitra expressed her discomfort, she should have started making plans to shift elsewhere until her course started.

Her celebrating Jagya's birthday even though Sumitra was not happy about it, her competing for his attention, her tears of joy when he cut her cake first, her weeping over his engagement, her sorrow at going away from him even though the Singhs are sending her to start a new life, her disappointment when Sumitra blessed her to be happy wherever she was as though she was expecting to live in the haveli forever and her celebrating Teej with Jagya even though she knows Sumitra disapproves of her and more importantly, that Jagya is committed elsewhere - these are unattractive traits in an otherwise simple and good woman that Ganga is.

As BV is projected as a realistic serial that spreads social awareness and addresses real issues and presents potential solutions, underprivileged rural women in Ganga's position watching this serial are likely to expect similar fairy tales to unfold in their lives and may even feel entitled to receive support from the world the way the Singhs were shown as indulging Ganga, rather than getting motivated to look out for themselves, study and become independent.

The most helpless person that Ira has around is her daughter Sanchi who cannot do anything without being a parasite on others! 🤢

Ganga is not Anandi. Anandi had loveble parents, Ganga lost her parents in childhood. Anandi marriad in 8yr in a richest family who had a great position in their village. Anandi got a same age husbend who became her best frnd. Ganga's uncle aunt brough her in ape of 8 in their house, and behavd her lyk a servent. Ganga marrid in age of 12 and got a husbend more then 38yrs who was also a vidow. Anandi love Jagya in age of 18. Ganga got raped by her 38yrs husbend in age of 12. When Jagya ditchd Anandi. Jagyas whole family suported her, and through Jagya away from their life. Anandi got every thing from Singhs mony, encurrgment, love. Ganga never got anithing. TM doing comparison on achivments, Ganga yet studing, she dosent started her currier..one day she will also do wonders. Bcoz she has that strength. Ganga loves Jagya but its not her weakness her love towards Jagya is her strength.

Completely disagree with your version of events. Especially how you glossed over Ganga's horrific life.

If BV is a realistic show how many Balika vadhus from rich homes that you know of have become sarpanch, teachers and doing samaj seva after divorce. How many Balika vadhus are still living amicably with their rich in laws after divorce. How many Balika vadhus have been remarried by their ex in laws. I ask these questions to enquire further that by watching Anandi's story other Balika vadhus will be motivated to expect similar 'fairytales' (which is not a bad thing) and may feel entitled to expect that support from their in laws which might not transpire.

Where have I glossed over Ganga's horrific life?

While Ganga deserves sympathy for her horrific past life, does that mean she is entitled to expect anything from the Singhs other than rehabilitation and support that they were doing out of humane charity? How does that place her above criticism.

The Singhs are shown as a kind family. It is one thing for a family to support their daughter-in-law who has lived with them since childhood against their wayward son and another thing to pick up a stranger fugitive woman and make her a part of the family.

The serial has shown several women like Phooli, Gulli etc. getting rehabilitated and living independently - if the Ganga track had been shown likewise it would have been realistic and contributed to the storyline and the social message.

I have no attachment to any of these characters - I am only here to discuss and share views, not to agree / disagree or make anyone else agree to my views.
