Hindi TV Serial – Saas Bin Sasural – Kia wanting to marry Ved because of conditions of the will

Posted on January 16, 2012 by ashish

The name of the serial, SaaS Bin Sasural sounds a bit strange now. Earlier, the serial was about a house where there are no women, and where the only daughter-in-law had walked out some time back. And then you had the first lady in the house, in the form of Toasty, who after some amount of decision and discussion finally made it into the house. And slowly, over a period of time, after some tension over some items, she even resolves the issues between Malthi and Pashu, and over the objections of Pitaji and Ved, she gets Malthi back into the house and slowly gets people to overcome the objections that they may have.
Now, the biggest test was about the relationship between Ved and Nitika, with Ved determined for some time to believe that he is a bachelor, but finally the rest of the family managed to convince him that he was in love with Nitika, and Ved finally realized his true feelings and decided that marrying Nitika was the one option for him.
And then the disturbance occurred in the form of Kia. Kia was the daughter of a friend of Pitaji, who had recently died; and apparently Chedi had promised Kia’s father that he would get Kia married to Ved. Now, Kia is a modern girl, from London, and for her, the concept of such a family, living with conservative ideals, in a house with only one bathroom, was something very different. But, soon the house was shocked to learn that as per Pitaji, Ved would have to marry Kia, and since Pitaji did not know about Nitika, there was no involvement from his side in the concept of the romance between Ved and Nitika.
But there was a lot of thoughts about why Kia would do this, since there was nothing common between her and Ved. But the complication in the entire scene was an atrocious will made by her father, which mandated that Kia would get his money only if she married Ved and stayed married for a year; over which Kia was shocked, but she realized that she would have to win over the members of the household if she wanted her money.

Hindi TV Serial – Maryada Lekin Kab Tak – Devyani finally launched divorce proceedings

Posted on January 13, 2012 by ashish

The show has shown the distances between Brahmanand and his wife Devyani growing over a period of time. This increased when Devyani got to know about the relationship that her husband has formed with her own sister Uttara. She is also very angry at Uttara over what has happened, and cannot understand how Uttara would have formed a relationship with her own brother-in-law, that too when her own sister is there in the household.
Priya is fully supportive of her mother-in-law and so is Brahmanand’s father who is also aware of the fact that his son is an evil man, who has betrayed his own wife many times, and who is guilty of numerous other crimes. However, Brahmanand’s younger son, Aditya does not know the reality of his father, and so is unable to understand what his mother is doing, and how his own wife Priya is also going against his own father (he still does not know that the attempted molestation of his own wife Priya was also done by his own father).
So now the case is in court, with Brahmanand doing his own case, and he is trying to ensure that he uses all the tactics he knows to twist the facts, to portray himself as the wronged one, the one on whose character there is a taint; and he manages to deny all the accusations so far. This is putting Devyani in a twist, since she wants to avoid calling Uttara, and she has a lot of doubts about calling her own sister on the stage and accuse her of having an affair with her own brother-in-law, but this has now happened and the fact about Uttara has also been put on the stage.
There are a lot of doubts about whether Uttara will indeed admit to the affair in court, and Brahmanand has also threatened her not to do something like this. In addition, Brahmanand seeks to turn the tables on Devyani by accusing her of having an affair with her lawyer.

Hindi TV Serial – Phulwa – Abhay saves the life of Phulwa when she almost burns to death in the kitchen

Posted on January 10, 2012 by ashish

The serial shows a huge amount of drama in the serial, typically based very loosely on the initial life of Phoolan Devi, the most famous female dacoit of the Chambal. Similar to Phoolan Devi, Phulwa is from the Chambal region, with a lot of poverty and oppression, and then picks up the gun to avenge the death of family members, inspired by another dacoit. Over the period of time, she grows up, and then comes the presence of the ACP, Abhay into the village, who is searching for the dacoits.
However, things get complicated when Phulwa believes that she has taken her revenge, but in fact, one of her victims is the brother of the ACP, and his father, the Thakur, wants his revenge on Phulwa. So, in a twist, Pulwa gets married to the ACP, and comes to the house of the Thakur as his daughter-in-law.
This is a horrid thought to the Thakur, and he decides that he will take more steps, and does one of the most usual ways shown in Hindi serials (leaving the gas pipe on, so that whoever burns a match will catch fire). However, by this time, Abhay is starting to like Phulwa, and once he sees that she has caught fire, saves her and brings her to the hospital.
His father is astonished that his son has saved Phulwa, and starts poisoning Abhay’s mind again, till the time that Abhay says that he did a mistake, and takes a cup and cuts his hand, showing that he has shed the blood which had saved Phulwa. What will happen next ? Phulwa has already been told that her life was saved by Abhay, and that he apparently cares for her.

Hindi TV Serial – Saubhagyavati Bhava – The story of an abusive husband, who seems ideal outside

Posted on January 8, 2012 by ashish

Abuse in a marriage is something that happens much more frequently in conservative societies, such as India or in Islamic countries of the Middle east. In such countries, the amount of freedom available to women or ladies is much lower and the husband feels that the woman is more under his control. And as a result, there is a feeling to some degree that the husband is in a superior position and can do what he wants. And when you combine this with the overall position in society such that women not working, having an overall lower stats, it can set the ground very clearly for those men who feel over-jealous of their wife.
This is such a story, and one would have seen some traces of this in a 2007 movie called ‘Provoked’, starring Aishwarya Rai, based on the story of an Indian lady in the United Kingdom called ‘ Kiranjit Ahluwalia’ who was abused by her husband on a regular basis and got no support from her own family, and who finally burnt her husband to death and went through a long court case to get her freedom from the court case against her.
The story of the serial, ‘Dil Se Di Dua – Saubhagyavati Bhava’ is on similar lines, with a new marriage. This is supposedly an ideal marriage, with the marriage between Viraj and Jhahnvi. Viraj is seen as a polite and nice man, and thus the marriage is seen as a good marriage. However, unknown to others, and much known to Jhahnvi, Viraj is highly possessive and had a bad childhood; as a result of which, from time to time, he ill-treats Jhanvi, including physically abusing her. She is tremendous shock because of this ill-treatment and is now trying to find a way to escape.
