Bindiya Chastises Vinay for all his pretence!
On February 08, 2010 in Bhagyavidhata, Colors, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, TV
Bindiya speaks out against Vinay for the first time. Bravo girl! It is indeed heartening to see women dismantling the pedestal meant for their husbands to stand on and rule from. For long women have been at the receiving end of unfair often inhuman treatment from men-be it their fathers, brothers, husbands, sons or other near and dear ones. Culturally forbidden to speak out, tutored and socialized from a young age to hold one’s tongue, women have generally not had the words or the voice to say the simple words “Stop it for it is wrong”. But slowly things are changing with more and more women learning to stand up to their male tormentors. Bindiya speaking out against her husband is an example of this act of emancipation.
Married to Vinay at gun point she has been disliked by her husband from day one as she is a constant reminder to him of his own weakness. Resilient and immensely strong, she has born all his acts of hostility with tremendous patience and fortitude. However the past few weeks her husband has shown considerable thaw in his attitude. He has taken care of her, protected her from unsavoury elements, enjoyed a game of badminton with her and even shared a bowl of rice pudding with her. Overjoyed at this change, Bindiya has been sporting a shy smile through out.
The family decides to celebrate Bindiya and Vinay’s first marriage anniversary by throwing a grand party. Much to her delight Vinay agrees readily and even buys her a beautiful saree. A happy and resplendent Bindiya is convinced that Vinay too has started to develop tender feelings for her. However her hopes come crashing down when she overhears Vinay tell a group of his friends that he is pretending to like Bindiya only to keep his parents and relatives happy. In reality he has not forgotten the shame he experienced on the day of his marriage and given that, he will never be able to accept Bindiya as his wife.
A heartbroken Bindiya is devastated and so when Vinay asks her whether she has liked his gift, she lashes out. She asks him to stop pretending and tells him that she knows the truth. She tells him that he is a coward for playing with her emotions and those of his family members. Her words are intelligent and use reason rather than emotions. She asserts herself as a human being for the first time by telling her errant husband that he is wrong. Unfortunately the scene turns out to be a thought bubble. But at least she took the first step and confronted her cad of a husband in her thoughts. As they say actions follow thoughts; maybe some day in the near future Bindiya will truly say out to loud to Vinay “Shame on you!”
Good times ahead for Bindiya ?” – Bhagyavidhata (Colors)

Things are finally looking up for Bindiya, female lead of Bhagyavidhata (Colors). Married off to her husband (Vinay) at gun point, she has been at the receiving of his hatred. Initially the rest of the family too were against her. They refused to accept her and she was made to sleep in the cowshed. Bindiya however is determined to make people accept and like her. Her perseverance, her soft demeanour, her silent but large actions help the family members to realise her worth. Initially it is her elder brother-in-law and an aunt-in-law who are willing to give her a chance and take her side. Things take a turn for the better when a double marriage takes place between Bindiya’s paternal and marital family. Her younger sister (Poonam) marries her elder brother-in-law (Bimlesh); while her brother (Raja) marries her husband’s cousin sister (Rekha).
However Vinay, Bindiya’s husband still refuses to accept her as his wife. It is then the turn of her eldest brother-in-law (Akhilesh) to discover the goodness in Bindiya. She is able to turn this individual who was against her into a staunch ally. He in fact goes against his wife (Punpunwali) in order to stand up for Bindiya. Her grandmother-in-law also won over by her simplicity and dedication forces Vinay to make room for Bindiya in their bedroom. In another turn of events she is able to protect the family from the evil designs of a wicked Uncle-in-law, Umashankar, by warning off her brothers-in-law of his true intentions. Vinay grudgingly accepts Bindiya’s well meaning actions and there is the slightest bit of thaw evident in his manner.
Bhagyavidhaata serial on Colors – The marriage happens again
On July 12, 2009 in Bhagyavidhata, Colors, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Society, TV, Values, Video
Bhagyavidhaata reached a critical phase. The Sinha family wants to get rid of their unwanted daughter-in-law, but is afraid of what her brother (the man who wields force and guns) will do, and hence comes to a plan whereby Vinay Sinha will leave the house instead of asking Bindiya to leave the house; the idea being that when their son is not in the house and not traceable, they can ask Bindiya to also go back to her house.
However, this plan is not to be, since Bindiya’s brother finds out about this plan, and reaches their house with his men, and starts threatening the Sinha household again, and it is clear that the plan for Vinay to go away has failed. It is now that Vinay takes a decision to finally accept Bindiya (till now he has not accepted her, and humiliates her on every opportunity).
Bhagyavidhaata serial on Colors
On July 03, 2009 in Bhagyavidhata, Colors, Despair, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Poor, Society, TV, Video
Serials nowadays are trying to be more socially conscious, a number of them saw how the previously popular saas-bahu serials started losing attention, and then saw how a serial such as Ballika Vadhu that takes a social issue can become very popular, and so a number of serials have jumped onto the same league of having socially active serials. So there are serials dealing with child marriage, dealing with the condition of poor in society, dealing with caste differences, and so on.
So, Colors has very recently launched another serial called, “Sabki Jodi Wohi Banaata… Bhagyavidhaata”, and the motif of the serial is about, how in Bihar’s lopsided society, the difficulty of getting a poor and average looking girl married off is so difficult that people came up with the idea of getting their girls married off by force, through kidnapping the groom, and under the pressure of force, getting him married to their girl. It is not so however for the girl after that, since her in-laws would not readily accept her (after all, if they were looking for nice dowry, then they would feel cheated, and since it is assumed that the boy’s side has an upper hand, getting the boy married by force would not appeal).
