Balika Badhu(Child Bride) Story line
Anandi had done so much for Jagia, yet he was interested in Gauri, the new girl in his life in Mumbai medical college. In the last episode he confessed his love for her repeatedly. The way he completely forgot Anandi and his love for her in the past 13-14 years is what enrages us.
Balika Vadhu and Indian TV
Why Balika Vadhu as a TV series was revolutionary in Indian TV history?
Balika Vadhu has had a product differentiation by not being similar to the typical saas bahu serials (mother-in-law daughter-in-law) have had like Kyuki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi…or any Ekta Kapoor serial for that matter nor is it similar to the highly depressing Na aana is des lado, that concentrates on JUST the evils, and what a woman has to go through.
Balika Vadhu marked a difference in the Indian television and had the potential of bringing in a breakthrough; a revolution of independent television that was different from the main stream. Initially the plot of child marriage with sweet kids, Avika Gor as Anandi,(the main protagonist) and Jagdish aka Jagia as her little husband(Avinash Mukherjee)was very captivating.
Balika Vadhu's brand positioning
Late Actor Pratyusha |
Balika Vadhu chose the new Anandi from audience feedback
When they roped in the new Anandi and Jagia, they had wisely apprehended
the reaction of the people……they were not going to let go of their
favourite Avika Gor so easily!!
So, in a never before historic way, Balika Vadhu selected three actresses
to play badi (older) Anandi, and decided on late Pratyusha Banerjee after
an sms poll.
It was their way of letting the audience participate in the decisions which were earlier just confined to the team. This was a historic move of taking feedback from and giving importance to the customer andI really liked it.
However the same process was not followed for Jagia, wonder why.Even I had not liked Pratyusha so much in the beginning as we were so used to Avika Gor, but now when we were getting used to it, they had to do this!!
Changing the main lead in Balika Vadhu, roping in a new entry
The concept of “another woman” has been a tried funda, and it always works….:(
And so it happened….people got just SO involved with the whole thing. Though I’m not liking it, but you see how even I’d to speak about it.No wonder it’s spreading like anything!! And I guess the writers are enjoying this!! Arghhhh
They are even showing reactions of common masses, as the ladies are saying “I was shocked to see Jagia doing this!!”….I was especially amused to see a woman say “I wouldpraythat Jagia comes back to Anandi"
It's not the adorable that gets the masses talking but the repelling.
Jagya Anandi Gauri
And the worst part is a college going guy saying that!! What will be our future with men still thinking that they have the right to do just anything!!!...Anandi has the right to leave Jagia with whatever he has done till now (28 February episode…running madly after Gauri’s auto and then yelling out his love for her and giving her hopes too)
He even nearly ended the possibility of that new guy in Gauri’s life, who actually thought like Gauri(aww, that was sweet!!...I wish both of them to be together)
I wasn’t going to pray about it, (didn’t want to trouble God to put it in the minds of writers….but I thought of actually DOING something that could change the story….of expressing my views online.
If Meher could come back in Ekta Kapoor's serial cuz people wanted so, I hope something happens, and Balika Vadhu team (which is more responsive to customers and its viewers) does something about
Did Jagia love Anandi?
Jagia always had a love for Anandi, when she had taken the bullet for him, when she made him face his own fear during their honeymoon in Mumbai, when she supported him for his medical studies…..
Balika Vadhu reflected the typical Adultery
He had even repented when he got to know that Anandi too didn't want kids. He definitely loved her till that incident. And then when he got back to Mumbai, and Gauri expressed her love for him, he was shocked. And I guess everyone had expected that now he would tell her, that he was married and was sorry to lead her on as he had no idea of what she had been thinking…..But NO!!!
What he did instead was to calm her down and hugged her. We still thought, he is unable to reveal the truth now, but he would soon find a suitable time to tell her.
Jagia, the anti-hero
But what completely shocked us was when Jagia thought (in the usual thinking stuff that happens in Tv and movies)…..that even he loved Gauri (Oh really?? After longing for Anandi so much in the 5 years that he used to go see her on every single anniversary.....and of course he has a right to choose someone else after sleeping with Anandi, completely using her and then throwing her, right???........He REALISED he didn't love Anandi after their numerous romantic scenes and honeymoon, maybe????)
Ok fine…this whole thing about child marriage that they didn’t even know the meaning of marriage when they were married is nonsensical.
But what about what they did AFTER THEY WERE BOTH ADULTS????????WAS THAT CHILD MARRIAGE TOO???
When Jagia kept lying remember what they showed??
If you lie once, you keep lying again & again (Ek jhuth ko chhipane k liye 100 jhut bolne padte hain)
Even when they had created the most unbelievable twist and brought in Sakshi as Teempri( That was when I’d lost all hope that Balika Vadhu would be able to still keep itself different…*sigh*)
They had still given messages how something not fulfilled in childhood can leave a deep impression in the mind to such an extent that a person may go insane.
Balika Vadhu, its message to society and the quest for TRP
I guess the whole point of the show is not JUST to show the ill-effects but to even show how they can be cured, as they are showing Tai sa (Gehna) and Tau sa's (Basant) relationship is improving by incorporating new things.
If Jagia does not repent even after Anandi gets educated, then how do they prove that education has a great power of changing things???
What's the whole point of the show THEN??
The first Indian TV prime time show to show grey characters.
The lack of a villain/vamp
Sugna’s plot
What was Balika vadhu Sugna story?
Adult adultery is child's second marriage?
Well….this is what I felt about it…………….
Sure it would be fun to see jagia repent & then get nothing!!
If Gauri is actually the girl Jagia had married, are they not giving the wrong message that dadisa was right in the beginning??
(Here's my facebook page) Is there a place where I can give my vote?? I made one myself...not sure if writers keep a watch at india forums though...better to yell at the site.
I just simply hate what's happening on the show now.....
How TV mirrors present society and conditions
A more fulfilled life definitely includes, love, trust, faith, and commitment in a relationship.
If Jagia could cheat Anandi after 13-14 years, what's the guarantee he'd be a good husband to Gauri??
If this is what they call attraction...."teen attraction"?? then surely Jagia's character is going to be a that of a pervert...!!
To give social messages,there was Sugna's widow remarriage, Basant and Gehna’s marriage.....too!!!
What we are talking here is not about just child marriage, but more about love!!!true love, if there exists any.....and Jagia loving Gauri is impossible,.......I would say, that is his attraction!!!
PS:write in their site, do anything, but do something.,...its a new consumer world, and no matter what their marketing strategy is, we have a right to see what we want.....let's do something about
