Beautiful Anandi scenes

I don't know why people are complaining. I found Anandi's controlled crying very poignant and beautiful. People seem to have forgotten what she said soon after he died and she learnt he was going to get full state cremation. She said he had died a martyr and it would be an insult to his shahadat, bravery and valour to cry. She ordered people not to cry and went to the cremation, determined to be with her heroic, fearless and patriotic husband on his last journey. She said she wanted her unborn babies to see off their father. She said Shiv would always be with her and their children and not allow any harm to come to them.

Throughout she was tearful but did not wail loudly as she wanted to respect her husband's extraordinary life and sacrifice.

I think it is very important to correlate her words with her action. She told Amol Shiv would always be around to guide him. andani's conversation with Shiv's photo scene and her scene with Amol were superbly executed. I found them deeply moving. Anandi was crying throughout but was also being very brave.

True.

Society expects widow to cry bitterly - especially in films and serials. But, there cannot be a fixed norm how one should react in such situations - some go numb, some cry their heart out, some control according to situation etc. So, I don't have any complaint in this regard, in fact - I liked this controlled grieving. 

I could relate to Anandi and Amol's grief, it was subtle and aptly supported by FBs of Shiv.
Perhaps, if other Shekhars were also shown with FBs of their interactions with Shiv, it would have  made a deeper impact on the viewers.

Shivraj Shekhar was no ordinary man, his death has impacted the viewers deeply.
So somewhere I expected to witness a crushing impact on the Shekhars.

Anandi is a proud widow, but it can't be denied that she has lost such a pure, celestial blissful, once in a lifetime happiness with Shiv. Her yet to be born kids will be fatherless !
The depth of this tragedy, a man who was in front of their eyes a couple of hours back is no more to be seen ever in their lifetime, which is so well understood and felt by us is being sorely missed onscreen due to bad direction and editing, my personal opinion.

Ms.Kavita Karkare was a brave and noble lady. She also had grown up kids to support her through that difficult time. And only her immediate family knows what she would have gone through and how she would have dealt with the sudden tragedy. To the outside world, she did put up a brave front. The family donated her organs after she was dead, both husband and wife did great service to our society, I salute them.

Well, I don't want to see any loud crying scenes, but something is amiss, being rushed.
It seems CVs want the viewers NOT to ruminate about Shiv's death, rather immediately get concerned about DB's tortures.

I was ok with everyone's pain and grief, but DB's politics clouded everyone's grief. 

Wonderful post.

Anandi scenes since Shiv's exit have been written and executed with great efforts and it shows on screen.

When she received the news about his incident she was sure that nothing can happen to Shiv and nothing can separate him from her. Shiv's words in hospital hit her hard, and her feelings there were of disbelief, hurt, then an immense shock and pain.

Had it not been Shiv's assurance to her, she would have been totally collapsed and unable to regain herself even after days. But because Shiv kind of prepared her for the inevitable future, she was a lot composed during his rituals. She was shattered inside but she put a brave face since she knew her husband has scarified his life for a noble cause. All these emotions were portrayed perfectly by Toral.

As for Shekhars, their scenes were rushed a bit. In fact all scenes from Monday, including Singhs were rushed, (I felt only Dadisa looked like she got a big unexpected shock). CVs weren't willing to spend time to show every Shekhar family member mourning separately. They skipped scenes immediately after bringing the body home, and directly went into rituals.

I feel CVs don't want to take a risk in showing Anandi sad and crying for days without Shiv, as viewers may find it difficult to see- they were so used to see a happy Anandi with Shiv. So CVs are rushing this phase and want to take a leap soon to show their whatsoever track.

They showed many things in today's episode. Anandi rejecting the widow'd garb and being Shiv's Anandi in every way.  She does not see Shiv as dead; she sees him as her shadow, a constant reassuring presence in her life. I also liked it that Ira spoke about a martyr's wife never becoming a widow. Very nice line.

I found all of Anandi's scenes very beautiful. Her remembering Shiv repeatedly. Her putting bindi even as she remembered him putting it on her forehead. 

BV again showed how different it is from other hyper, melodramatic serials. DB was probably necessary to underscore A's resolute courage and determination in the face of extreme adversity.


Even Daddu was very good. He is an army man and will not insult the bravery of his remarkably brave grandson.by crying loudly. I remember Kavita Karkare, widow of Hemant Karkare who perished in the 26/11 terrorist strike similarly full of dignity and composure. . Wives of martyrs conduct themselves with dignity befitting the memory of the husband.
