Godbharai is a serial on Sony that deals with the character of a lady in a marriage who does not have a child after many years of marriage, and who gets socially blamed for this. It eventually gets bad enough that they do a test, and it is determined that Aastha is fine medically, and it is Shivam who is deficient. Aastha does not want to expose him to any amount of ridicule, so they do not go in for any kind of treatment.
And then the miracle happens, on Janmashtami day, Aastha finds a baby in a small basket in the water, and is incredibly happy. The baby is called Krishna, and they are incredibly happy with the baby. However, not everybody in the family is happy, since the sister-in-law feels that her own kid will lose a portion of the inheritance, and tries her tactics to make things uncomfortable.
And then the disaster happens. It turns out that getting the baby to Aastha was a contrived accident, where Shivam had arranged to steal the baby from an orphanage and get it to Aastha. And then the police get involved, where the lady running the orphanage finally takes the baby back and declines to make a police case about it. Aastha was pretty angry with Shivam about doing all this.
However, they finally decide that they were very attached to the baby Krishna, and decide to go back to the orphanage for adopting Krishna, and are then told that there is another couple who has already committed for the adoption. However, finally the other couple lets them take the baby, but they are given a period of 3 months in which they can demonstrate that they are capable of taking good care of the young child.
Hindi Serial – Sony – Godbharai – the story of a childless couple, especially the woman
On April 05, 2010 in Character, Drama, Family, Godh Bharai, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Society, Sony, TV
Indian society can be very cruel to those who do not fit in so easily, and a person who deserves sympathy can instead be treated with a lot of scorn. So, it seems with the concept of a married woman who has not had a child even several years after marriage, and is the case of the heroine, Aastha, of a new serial on Sony TV, called Godh Bharai. This is a serial that has recently started on Sony TV (although it was advertised for many weeks before the show, to the extent that people were sick and tired of the ad appearing on every break on the serial), started on March 8, 2010. The advertisement was depicting the concept of a lady who goes to a godh-bharai ceremony where the other ladies look at her with scorn since she is not a mother, believing her presence to be inauspicious to such a ceremony.
And when it comes her turn to felicitate the bride, she is stopped by the elders and told to leave from there, since she is a ‘baanj’, a barren woman. She also has to bear scorn within her own family over this; however, when she gets a checkup done, it turns out that she is fine, and most likely the problem is with her husband. And instead of taking the help of medical treatment to treat infertility, she wants to the play the sacrificial wife and hide the inability of her husband to give her a child and is willing to take the pain of being labeled a barren woman just so that her husband does not have to bear this emotional burden. The principal characters of the serial are:
Pallavi Subhash … Aastha
Shakti Anand … Shivam Agnihotri
Ravindra Mankani … Ramakant Agnihotri (Shivam’s father)
Mangal Kenkre … Bhagyashree Agnihotri (Shivam’s mother)
