BV - Jan 16th 2009 - Written Upate

Seeing Anandi studying, Daadisa gets mad and drags her from there saying she has loads of work for her. She takes Anandi to the terrace where a lot of mangoes are set out. She asks Anandi to mix the mangoes with pickle masala. As Anandi goes about doing this, Daadisa sits there and watches her. Sumitra comes to the terrace to dry some clothes. On seeing Anandi mixing pickles, she comes running and stops Anandi. Sumitra asks her why she is not in her room. Anandi tells her that daadisa got her there. Sumitra then goes to Daadisa and tells her about Anandi.

Daadisa is shocked. She screams at Sumitra for not telling her earlier. She shouts at Anandi for leading her on by letting her touch her and touch all the mangoes. Gehna comes there and watches. Daadisa keeps yelling at Anandi and tells her that during these days she should not go to the kitchen or puja room. In fact, she should stay in her room, sleep on the ground and not touch anybody. Anandi keeps crying. Gehna is disgusted.

Anandi is sitting on a mat in her room. Jagya comes there and talks to her and tells her to get him some water. Anandi refuses. Suguna comes there and tells Jagya that Anandi is not well. Jagya doesn't understand and wonders what in the world is wrong with her. Everyone minus Anandi go to the puja room. Anandi feels bad. Jagya tries to take the aarti to Anandi, but Daadisa stops him and sends him away.

In the kitchen Gehna is discussing all this with Sumitra. She says that all such meaningless customs should not be followed. She tells Sumitra that a doctor in her village told her that the women were told to rest those 3 days so that they get a break from daily chores, but the religious customs had taken on a new meaning because of this. Sumitra tells Gehna that all this age-old habits cannot be changed.

Gehna comes to Anandi's room to give her dinner. She is about to feed Anandi when Maasa comes there and tells her to stop. She yells at Gehna to not break rules and jeopardize her grandson's life. Gehna is disgusted to hear this.

Precap : Daadisa is giving Gehna a dressing down and warns her not to approach Anandi during her periods. Basanth stops Maasa and tells her to stop yelling at Gehna. Maasa is shocked.

BLOOPER : Why don't Anandi and Jagya know anything about this whole custom? They must have seen Suguna, Sumitra and Gehna follow the same every month.!!!

dadisa is too much.. glad u pointed out blopper that's absolutely true..

I personally felt that the writers of the serial decided to pick on this as one of the issues that they want to make a social commentary on and without giving it much thought, just blasted away with a lot of social commentary in the form of Gehna's criticism of the whole ritual.
Otherwise the whole handling was a major blooper - Jagdisia must have seen his own sister follow the same custom- so what was the big deal? Also, in most communities, there are celebratory rituals associated with a girl attaining puberty. This would have been a reason to celebrate, not yell at Anandi. I think the writers did not do enough homework this time and just rushed to judgment on the whole thing.

thanks!!!

i was wondering the same thing!!! if the others have to do the same thing then y dont anandi and jagya know about it....plus if for 1 week every month the females can't cook and do anything then who does it all 😆 i don't think dadisa does
