Yes Vasu. You are right. Anandi supporters have been quite fair in their assessment of her. they do not just glorify her character but also offer constructive criticism on how the CV's should portray her when progress and growth is slow.
We also get frustrated when she is nice by default. We also predict how she will let GAGA off scot free without any punishment. We also are angry about the non progress of her education.
in fact, now, I am also upset about a recent article that cites a prediction of TRP's sliding due to the Anandi Social Seva track!!!! this is so ridiculous and I think also accounts for the recent increase in GAGA scenes because they think that romance even an illicit one at that will counter any slide in TRP's. My opinion is that TRP's will slide due to the illegal romance track because people are gagging at those scenes. It's like being party to something illegal. Simply distasteful.
In essence, criticism of GAGA has been because of the adulterous relationship and subsequent choices made by the illegitimate couple. Our criticism has not been based on chemistry or how hot they look or how dazzling their smile was in any given episode. It is based on the actual plot and characterisation put forward by the cv's.
As much as this is just about a fictional show and as much as this forum is not actually our real lives, it is still very much a part of what we all engage in every day, which in essence does make it very real. Our opinions on the values, right conduct, and morals portrayed in this show is very much a reflection of our own frame of references. Any denial of this by saying it is 'time pass' or for 'entertainment only' is a cop out for taking ownership of said opinions.
