Mira, haha ya u are right dear. It wasn't a solution. I wanted to say that if Mouni was casted as ma Parvati instead of Sonarika, people wud've been more fascinated towards the story Shiv and Parvati. Their love for the jodi Mouni-Mohit has extented so much that now they are creating their own logic. I am just trying to say that being a die-hard fan is one thing and trying put their own sense in order see what they want is completely wrong. Now as Sonarika is the new Parvati people are mixing myths with romance!

By the stuff in bold, I meant that women of that era did not go out of their way to try and marry men inimical towards their fathers.  They typically had Swayamvaras, and either picked out of the lot, or continued searching (like Savitri did, even though she was from Treta Yuga).  The idea that Sati would, over her father's objections, go out of her way to marry Shiva is absurd.

What happened was that Brahma did persuade Daksha to give her in marriage to Shiva, so Daksha agreed.  The fall-out b/w Daksha & Shiva happened after that.  If Daksha merely disdained Shiva b4 Sati's marriage, he absolutely hated him after that incident at a yagna where Shiva & Sati didn't rise to greet him.

 I agree with the gist of the topic, specially mira and vrish both.

Nice Post Mira , I agree with every points layouted here that , There is a need for some Clarity ,when they are showing about Gods . Me to expect some more extra information or tracks  after sati's immolation ,but they rushed towards parvathi ,here too they are over dramatizing every thing .Shiv is not a ordinary man ,that he is always bounded to Lady love , Its part of his journey thats all. IF they are sticked to Romancing side of   Shiv , its is not mean that  ,they can spoil the time line and marks of Other Rishis around HIm . 40 % of the viewers knew nothing ,they just believe what they are showing , Includings kids .  Lets Leave Tarakasur ,Atleast ,there needed  some specularity while showing stories of Rishis. Because they are revered persons ,Unlike gods they are part of our Human History also . zigzagging the time line is considered ,before doing so .

see regarding the creative liberty part-the cvs have admitted it themselves that they have taken creative liberties here and there...its a different presentation of Shiva,which has clicked with the audience! Edited by shruti.nil - 11 years ago

but yes ill agree the one Part that seriously annoyed me was seeing tarkasur in Satis era-he was so damn out of place...grrr...i felt like whacking him each time i saw him,similarly when i see Dadhichi a part in my head goes"errr...Dadhichi arent you supposed to be dead??",atleast showing rishi Markandey makes sense since he did live that long and also wrote scriptures like the Devi Puran,Durga Satashati etc

My two paise worth re: creative liberty -

Mira
since this is ur post i take it as a duty to add my say...actually this is a personal experience and i think it kind of supports the viewers being carried away...so here goes the incident...and though i do not feel guilty about what i did, i do feel a bit ashamed

i have mentioned this before somewhere i am a Christian.
long back i. e before my marriage during the Season of Lent my Parish decided to present a street play to enact the Way Of The cross... so we all gathered in front of the Church were the Crucification was going to take place..we maane my parents my sis and me along with so many other believers. We saw the processsion reaching the place with the person who acted Christ carrying the Cross and as per the scripture he was shown to be Crucified...then  the cross was made to rise from the ground to the stand...the effect was so spectacular that many clapped and i too joined it...along with my mom who is such an ardent Christian... Somebody from the crowd near was scandalised and reminded " see people are clapping when Jesus is crucified."
though i did not feel guilty as my mother did, i was embarassed. it goes without saying that the Church never ventured into another such endeavour after that as i feel the play did defeat the purpose
so though to many DKDM may not be nothing more than a serial, where the love between Mahadev and Shakti is portrayed. got to say this isn't that what is shown in prominance too? what is most important for the makers of the show is TRP ...so is it any wonder that they give the audience what they wish for... romance with a difference... a mythological love story?

the show caught my attention first due to Mohit Raina and the character sketched for Mahadev... 
then came the interest about the incidents and the story of Mahadev...so may be like the one who made that post i too, in my ignorance may think whatever is shown in the show is what had transpired...it is this Forum that corrects my misconceptions.

yet that one post was a bit too insensitive😆... 

okay that was my 2 bit for ur 2 bit😉

Creative liberty is fine, considering the medium which we are sharing. But converting History and mythology to run off the mill love story ain't fine. This happened before with historical shows and  mythological shows . However mytho shows typically stayed within a limit and also there used to be a time frame, they were typically weekly or weekend shows hence, they did not experiment much.

Here however, the focus being the love story the liberty taken is a bit too much at times. 

Recently they tried to incorporate the stories of Lord K and even Lord of the Rings movies in the show. I hope they realise viewers, even when they are young teenagers are not that dumb.

Also the uneasiness in seeing the way some characters are twisted. Vrish has spoken a lot about tarakasura, so i will not elaborate. I will however point out to  Anasuya, chandrama's mother and the way she was potrayed as a simple, ordinary ,even a little bit selfish mother. WHAT was that? Anasuya was famous for her purity and devotion to husband, so much so that she reduced the tridev into her kids. They could have shown that story to show, even Lord Shiva gets beaten at times.
