Bidaai – Happy times ahead?
On January 29, 2010 in Bidaai, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Star Plus
Over the last month or so, the track of Bidaai (Star Plus) has been witness to a lot of heartbreak and sadness for its lead characters-Alekh, Sadhna, Ranveer and Ragini. Ranveer was put behind bars on the basis of Sadhna’s testimony. Ragini miscarried upon the news and as a result Sadhna was asked to leave the Raichand house. However now that Ranveer has been released from the prison and is back with Ragini, things are set to change for the better. The two main love stories around which the show was based are back in focus once again.
Ragini is severely depressed and does not want to entertain any thoughts of reconciliation with her beloved sister Sadhna. She asks Ranveer to promise her that he will not try to contact Sadhna and seek to mend broken bridges. Ranveer understands and appreciates Ragini’s fragile mental state. But he is also aware that the only person who can help him help his wife is the one person that he is not allowed to meet-Sadhna. For the sake of Ragini’s well being, he breaks his promise to his wife and decides to meet up with Sadhna. A concerned Sadhna tells Ranveer that he should take Ragini to the dance school as dance is the latter’s first love and the thing that brought the couple together. Ranveer follows this sane advice and takes his wife to the dance school and Ragini rediscovers her forgotten passion for dance. She dances with gay abandon forgetting her worries and concerns.
In the meanwhile, Sadhna has become back to her maternal uncle’s house after being disowned by her husband and his family. She realises Alekh needs time and space to understand and respect her one act that put his brother behind bars. She decides to take up a job in the same company where her uncle works and is hired as a personal assistant. Call it fate or call it destiny, but she finds herself face to face with her husband, working as his employee. Alekh has been trying his best to avoid face-to-face situations with his wife as that would force him to answer a lot of unanswered questions to his own self. This new development forces the ‘much-in-love’ duo to work side-by-side on a regular basis. Whether this will help the Alekh-Sadhna love story to grow and mature; only time will tell. However for the viewers it spells more romantic evenings where we can get to enjoy two of the most successful pairs of Hindi serials in recent times. As audiences can we ask for anything more?
Sadhana’s Dilema – Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai
On January 22, 2010 in Bidaai, Character, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Star Plus, TV
In life we all have had to stand at cross roads where it has been a toss up between our emotions and our principles. Indeed the biggest struggle is that which takes place inside your own self. Which road to follow-to stand by what you believe in or to believe in the person who stands by you, has to be one of the toughest decisions to make. Sadhna ( Bidaai) had to stand at such a cross road some time back. It was a toss up between staying true to her own principles and values or protecting the ones she loved more than her life. At the end she decided to stay true to herself and to take the side of truth. However this choice of hers put her brother-in-law, Ranveer, to prison.
With Ranveer in prison, her close relations turned against her, holding her responsible for the formers plight. Be it her indomitable mother-in-law Vasundhara or her loving husband Alekh who loved her dearly; everyone is upset at her choice. Her cousin sister and Ranveer’s wife Ragini too feels upset over her choice. She miscarries and this adds to her growing resentment against Sadhna whom she had loved and protected against a lot of heartache. Sadhna is asked to leave her in-laws house and she moves back in with her maternal uncle and his family. In her Mama’s (Uncle) family too no one except her uncle is willing to understand her or appreciate her choice.
Sadhana kicked out of the house in Bidaai

Finally, it happened. Hindi TV serials are pretty well known for trying to twist stories, and for showing a lot of bad things happening before things get better. They seem to live up to the saying, “If you do a good deed, you will get punished”. So it is with Sadhana, who only states the truth when she is asked the question in court. When the trial of Ranveer is ongoing, the final question is when Sadhana is asked to testify and she states the truth. As a result, Ranveer is sentenced to an year’s jail term.
However, this has a lot of repercussions. Sadhana is blamed by everyone for doing this to Ranveer, with Vasu turning her out of the house. Alekh also blames her for this and does not stand by her, even though he does love her. In her own house also, her mami of course does not support her and blames her for whatever is happening; and this is troubled by the fact that Ragini was pregnant, and lost her baby due to the shock.
In all this, the only person who stands by Sadhana is her mamaji, who lays down the law in the house that Sadhana will stay there, and no one will say anything to her.
Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai, Ranveer in lots of trouble

When everything else seems to be going right for the serial and the characters, then there is a need to add complexities to the story and turn it around. As a part of this, in the serial, when everything seemed to be going fine, you either add some new villainous characters to the scene or change the circumstances, and that is what they have done in Bidaai.
First they added a daadi-bua who does not like Vasu at all and who seeks to play people against one another, and then complicated matters by adding a deadly case. Just when Daadi-Bua seemed to be pushing Ragini and Sadhana against each other by implying that their husbands were being treated distinctly, came a case whereby some hoodlums were troubling Sadhana, and then Ranveer assaulted one of them very severely.
As a result, the hoodlum is very critically injured, and Ranveer is now in jail, and now Sadhana has to either speak the truth and see Ranveer get a long jail term, or she has to lie if she wants to retain her relationships, especially with Ragini. Ranveer is being prosecuted by a lawyer who has not lost a case, and he promises to get a long term for Ranveer.
