Hindi TV Serials – Mann Ki Awaaz Pratigya – Pratigya fights for the rights of her elder sister-in-law Kesar
On May 11, 2010 in Character, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Pratigya, Saas-Bahu, Star Plus, TV
Now Pratigya is married into the household of Krishna, with Sajjan Singh being the head of the family. This is a family that is very less cultured, very much unlike her own family, and further, she continues to have issues with Krishna since she had to marry him pretty much under force. However, Krishna is trying to have a lot of patience, since he is not used to the idea of somebody refusing him like this, and is also standing up for her in the family (to the extent that his mother taunts him that he is always standing up for Pratigya, and does not have the same independent attitude that he used to have earlier).
After the honeymoon (where Pratigya refused to let Krishna touch her, something that he does not like and does get frustrated over), Pratigya is back in the house, and starts observing some stuff happening in the house that she does not like. This is primarily related to the relationship between Krishna’s elder brother Shakti Singh and his wife Kesar. Kesar is dark complexioned, and Shakti Singh torments her for the same, to the extent that he refuses to let her give birth to a child since he worries about the dark complexion getting passed on. For this purpose, he has forced Kesar to get aborted three times already, something that is hidden from the family members; they in turn torment Kesar as being incapable of giving birth since they do not know the truth.
Now Pratigya is going to stand up for Kesar and ensure that the household knows about the truth, that Kesar is again pregnant and Shakti Singh is forcing her to get an abortion. This is also critical since the family wants to get a heir, and does not believe that Kesar will be able to provide such a heir; the important thing is that Pratigya would be able to provide the moral support that Kesar needs to stand up to her husband.
Hindi TV Serial – Sapna Babul Ka .. Bidai – Finally the reconciliation between Sadhana and Vasu, after Sadhana saves Vasu
On May 07, 2010 in Bidaai, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Saas-Bahu, Star Plus
Typically reconciliations between people who are separated from each other comes only through some major events. In the case of the serial Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai, there is a huge gap between Vasu and Sadhana. Vasu always wanted the best for her sons, and for her, whatever she wanted was what needed to happen, and anybody who came in her way was somebody to be opposed. So, when Sadhana helped in getting Alekh better, this was appreciated, but now that Alekh was much improved, Sadhana was not a good enough wife for him, and with Malika being on the scene, it was easier to try to get Sadhana out of the way to make way for Mallika in Alekh’s life.
Vasu had almost managed to make this happen, but at that time, everybody came to realize the value of Sadhana, and hence her entire family along with Ranveer made efforts to ensure that Alekh does not get engaged to Mallika, and they succeed. But as a result, both Alekh and Ranveer decide to leave the house, something that horrifies Vasu since she could not have expected such a thing to happen. However, all her efforts to get them back and away from Sadhana do not succeed.
Next, Sadhana, in her goodness, continues to try to get both Alekh and Ranveer close to Vasu again (overcoming any anger at Vasu); and then this freak event happens. In the room where Alekh-Sadhana and Ranveer-Ragini live, there is a short circuit and a fire starts. In the fire, eventually, Sadhana manages to save Vasu who had come in, but suffers as a result. She is injured in the fire, and is taken to hospital where the doctors are worried about the smoke in her lungs because of which they cannot do an operation; and in addition, Naveen and Anvi are upto something that will separate Vasu from her sons; but Ragini has overhead them speaking.
Hindi TV Serial – Do Hanso Ka Joda – How Preeti is moving closer to her husband Surya Kamal
On April 27, 2010 in Do Hanso Ka Joda, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, NDTV Imagine, Romance, Saas-Bahu, TV
Do Hanso ka Joda is a show on Imagine TV that looked it was based on the hit Shahrukh movie – Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. After all, you had a character who was a plain person, spectacled, and even looked like the character in the movie. And he gets married to a girl who wanted a romantic life, somebody who would be very different from the person whom she got married to. After all, Preeti wanted a person who was a shining knight, who would sweep her up and take her away to the land of her dreams, and Surya Kamal certainly did not fit that profile.
However SuryaKamal was a person with a lot of strength and attractiveness of his own, once you got to know him; so, over a period of time, the quiet love, as well as the space he gave Preeti slowly started winning Preeti over, and she got over her dreams and started falling in deep love with him. And of course, Surya Kamal was always in love with her.
But there are many challenges that they have to face. Surya Kamal’s mother (rather step-mother) is used to having a son who listens only to her, and also never liked Preeti from the beginning, and does not leave a chance to show the effect of her sharp tongue on both of them. And this has an effect, when, Surya Kamal and Preeti spend some days outside, and once they are back, they are greeted with many abuses by his mother because his sister has had to be taken to hospital (and Surya Kamal loves this sister a lot). The blame for neglecting his sister has been put on Surya Kamal and Preeti, and he also believes this to some extent, and as a result, he starts to believe that his profound attraction towards Preeti is affecting his responsibilities.
On the other side, Preeti’s cousin, Sumi married somebody who would seem much more attractive and desirable, a young and dashing person called Rishi; however, this is very different outside. Rishi is without any major feelings for Sumi, beats her, exploits her for his business, and believes that she will always do everything that he says.
Hindi TV Serial – Balika Vadhu on Colors – The appearance of a new character to threaten Bhairon’s and Sumitra’s marriage
On April 20, 2010 in Balika Vadhu, Character, Child, Colors, Drama, Family, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Ruthless, Saas-Bahu, TV, Video
In Balika Vadhu, after the almost death of Anandi, when she saved Jagdish from a bullet, it became all right in the family. Kalyani was again happy, and started favoring Anandi again (given that it took Anandi some time to come out from hospital). It took Anandi some time to get over the shock caused by the bullet, and for some time, her mind was mentally weak.
But how is it possible that everything would go right in the serial ? A Hindi Serial consists of a series of mini-stories, all of them lasting for several weeks, and once a story has started, it will start gripping the story line and would threaten many of the characters in the serial. In this case, there is a threat to the marriage of the one couple whose marriage was never threatened so far, namely that of Bhairon and Sumitra. Till now, the marriages and relations between all the other characters in the serial had come under some strain, and now the same things is happening to their marriage.
A new character has been introduced, this being a lady called Teekri (Sakshi Talwar), who is apparently a childhood friend of Bhairon, but who had been away for many many years. Now she is back, with a sinister purpose. She believes that Bhairon is destined to be married to her, and that Sumitra would need to be removed from Bhairon’s life. They show her to be somewhat demented, but she is clever enough that she is trying to make a space for herself with Maasa, and also trying to spoil the relationship between Bhairon and Sumitra. Right now, Anandi has seen what Teekri is trying to do, and she tries to stop the steps being taken by Teekri. On the other hand, Teekri fights back by trying to portray Anandi as being not good for Jagdish, and inauspicious for her.
