The story about representatives of our faith is known to their believers, followers & those who are interested in knowing more about them. Thanks to various books, online copies, they are easily accessible compared to earlier time, when very few people could read & tell spread knowledge to others, during various discourse or story telling sessions like, Bhagvat saptah. These story tellers used to be honest in their work. Would rarely twist the main theme to alter entire version. Hence they were respected for their work.
With the new trend of story telling with a different perspective has gained popularity with a major risk of such interpretations turning absolutely absurd at times. Playing with stories of characters people pray or rather turning story of our Purana in a daily soap of crying lead characters with weird twist like female lead loving male lead but getting married to someone else to save her father's honor.
This show Radha Krishn, has all the ingredients of a daily soap where all characters have same names of a respected & loved story about our Radha & Krishn. But this story is not of our beloved characters, its something else, which is difficult to connect.
Regarding a Goddess in her Human incarnation marring a mortal, I will always prefer to like & appreciate a strong Goddess, who'll kill anyone who wants to marry her (eg. Ma Durga killing Shumbh, Nishumbh) instead of surrendering to circumstance.
One thing is clear, let this daily saas bahu show maker show anything with their characters. Those who adore, love & worship RK, will never accept such crooked version.
They may draw parallels in future, when Krishn married 16000 woman, who were abducted by Narakasur to save their honour, to Radha marrying Ayan to save her father's honour.
Well the best & worst part about interpretations is any liberty is taken, just to stand out. But everything is not acceptable. With past experience of watching Mytho shows, the feeling of makers going overboard to an extent of destroying essence of this exceptional story has come true again.
