How dumb of Maasa to visit pratap's family (Page 3)

actually, no where in the show they have said that it is wrong for suguna to abort the baby.......actually, dadisa wants suguna to abort her kid......and it is only suguna who is against it..... she doesn't want to abort cos it is pratap's aakhri nishani.

And i am sure, if suguna had gone to her husband's house (i mean if gauna happened) and then she is pregnant, no one wld have suggeted of getting it aborted....dadisa wld have been happy that she is going to give a grandchild. It is only bcos, if she continues with her pregnancy, they might get a bad name int he society that dadisa is forcing suguna to abort the baby.

i agree...the show's social messages changes according to situation. in gehna's case it was ok to abort the child...so shouldnt it be ok to abort suguna's child too since she is even younger than gehna? in fact her father didnt want her gauna to be done for the same reason-so that she doesnt suffer the same fate as basant first wife. but now in suguna's case to increase the drama they have to stress on widow remarriage. but it wasnt ok for phooli to remarry so that she cant complete her studies.

I think all of us are mixing the situation here.....the only reason dadisa is pressing on abortion is because it will bring bad name to their home......

These are all very fair points. From the perspective of the characters and their personalities, their responses have also been very different to the situations faced by them.
My comments were directed at the creative/writer of the serial and their double values in trying to balance TRPs with making BV a social commentary.

Ghena and Sugna's are two seperate situations!

Shalgo and Ashiyana has fair points.But I completely agree with Jijaram!

"From the perspective of the characters and their personalities, their responses have also been very different to the situations faced by them.

Actually, BV people are more busy in creating melodrama to raise TRPs than to give social message. I have even made one post regarding it.. hehe..

I have always liked BV because even in the midst of the ultra-conservative background, there are characters who have brought shown progressive attitude and had get out of the restraints of rules and regulations as much as possible.

But Sugna's incidents?!! What message do the BV people want to spread, can anyone tell me? If unprotected sex and teen-age pregnancy is an issue, then it can be addressed through Anandi and JAgdish, ( after a two years leap may be)

Or if they have something else in mind for Anandi - Jagdish, then these issues can be shown through Sugna-Shyam romance. If Sugna gradually, falls for Shyam then in one way they could send the message that an widow has the right to start life afresh. Infact a girl should take a positive attitude towards life instead of dwelling in the mishaps of past.

The issue could have been dealt in a different manner and both messages of widow-remarriage and teen-age pregnancy can be shown in a more realistic and better way.

Sugna  is  still a  teen-age girl . It has been told number of times that teen-age is not the right time to bear child.  As everyone pointed out. if Gehna' s doctor could tell her to abort for her weak health, then it is necessary for Sugna to abort the child as her body is not capable for this condition.

Otherwise, Sugna's fate will be like Taisa and Rani jiji who lost their child and their capability of giving birth for teen-age pregnancy! Of course, abortion has ill-effects, but if the doctor can suggest abortion for Gehna for her health, why not Sugna?

2ndly, as some other member has rightly pointed out in other post that Sugna does not even know the responsibility of bringing up a child ?! She is only getting emotional and stubborn. If parents cant fulfill the duties towards a child, there is no right to bring a human being into this world just to make him/her suffer?

3rdly, gettting married to cover up pregnancy is an age-old practice. But WHY getting married at all  if eveyone is going to know the truth even before marriage?!!!

As per Badimasi, they will tell the bridegroom and the family about Sugna's condition. Now, we KNOW that when Shyam will be aware about Sugna's condition he will marry her without uttering any word about it. BUT....

Badimasi or Sugna or none else are supposed to zero in Shyam at first.  Logically, they will ask families of their friends or anyone close to them. Now, if they are telling the whole incident before marriage, then what's the REASON in making Sugna married? Maasa had a valid point!

completely agree with doyelpakhi...the attitudes are right from the character's pov but to me it appears that the writers are bringing in this track to create a melodramatic situation and avoid the inevitable ie the leap and a grown up anandi-jagya. all the the messages at the end of the show and just to show off that 'see we have great intentions so dont feel guilty abt watching such a regressive show'. but in the end of it all regressiveness is reinforced. hence at the end of every situation-anandi adjusting to her in-laws house, gehna's rebellion, suguna's widowhood its maasa's beliefs which are re-inforced with her getting another chance to say 'told u so'. anandi has turned out to be a dutiful daughter-in-law so its maasa's credit(not anandi's mom's), if gehna and basant are able to lead a happy marital life its maasa's credit cuz she stuck her guns, if suguna is pregnant today then its bhairon's fault for delaying her gauna instead of listening to his mother. the only time maasa is shown to regret her actions are in her treatment of phooli.
