Hindi Serial - Jyoti - things are never simple

Even after Jyoti is now married (happily) to Pankaj, there will always be problems in her life, apparently. So, what happens is that though Jyoti had decided to get married to Pankaj, she had not fully accepted him initially, but now seems to have done. However, she is still hiding things from him, in the sense that she has never told him about Sushma, which seems a bit strange thing to do. No matter what the relation with your sister would be like, why would you not tell your husband about this ? No wonder the husband is likely to get angry with her.
In the meantime, there are 2 more stories that are getting played out. One is regarding Jyoti's sister Sudha. Sudha has something strange, a split personality where one half of her is care-free, while the other half is the docile, strangely scared girl. Jyoti, and other people near her have seen both, but are not easily able to connect both these separate personalities; in fact, the person who has fallen in love with her is unable to fully comprehend as to what is happening with the girl he loves.
Sushma is in an even worse condition. Her marriage to Brij now seems to be a mistake, since Brij wants her to go to any extent to make money, forcing her to dance in front of people who ogle at her body and want to have fun with her; in one case, she is forced to give into a stranger. Brij, as a demonstration of his bad nature, now pretends that he has a severe illness, for which Sushma needs to get money from anywhere. She continues to work at dance places and parties, making money while wearing short clothes.

Hindi Serial - Sach Ka Samna on Star Plus - Face the truth

Sach Ka Saamna is a new show on Star Plus, with the aim of asking real hard questions on national TV to people, who will answer such questions in the hope of making a cool Rs. 1 crore. This show is the Indian version of the international reality show, 'The Moment of Truth (wikipedia)', and revels in asking a huge number of questions that test the person's ability to answer truthfully. The show started on July 15th, and runs on Star Plus weekdays at 10:30 - 11 PM. The show is hosted by Rajiv Khandelwal. The show features a combination of celebrities and normal people, with the first person on the show being Smitha Mithai, followed by actor Yusuf Hussain, and ex-cricketer Vinod Kambli.



The show is literally equivalent to opening up yourself in public. People are put in front of their families and friends and asked whether they have betrayed them, or felt anything for their family, or even more direct questions related to their sexual habits (such as a contestant being asked whether he had sex with a girl younger than his daughter). One shudders to think as to how long this show will go on before questions and outrage in Parliament will force a crackdown.
The show has contestants appearing in front of a polygraph (lie detector machine) and being asked 50 questions. This happens behind the scenes. When the participant appears on the show, they are asked 21 of these questions in increasing order of hardness and as they proceed successfully, the amount they earn increases until they reach the sum of Rs. 1 crore. However, if they answer a question incorrectly (if the polygraph judges the answer to be incorrect), they lose all the money they have earned. They can withdraw before the question is asked.

Hindi Serials: Na Aana Iss Des Ladoo - Sia is back to be humiliated by Ammaji

Previously, Sia had been trapped in a major plan in which Ammaji's son had tricked her into marriage, and once the marriage had happened, they proved that Sia's character was not good; this helped Ammaji in getting her revenge on Sia, as well as on Sia's father. As part of the revenge on Sia's father, Ammaji got him beaten up, and then got the village panchayat to blacken his face and put him on a donkey.
After all, Sia is shaken, but very defiant. She promises to take revenge, and as part of that, she has to get back to the haveli and take whatever punishment Ammaji delivers onto her. So, you have the sight of Sia falling at Ammaji's feet and asking for mercy. Ammaji of course gloats at this sight, and decides to let Sia into the house while making her work like a servant, including sleep in an outhouse. Her family members are forbidden to have any sympathy for Sia, and Ammaji still keeps on humiliating Sia at every opportunity, remembering the time that Sia stood upto Ammaji's actions. However, it must only be the arrogance that Ammaji has that prevents her from recognizing that Sia was not the type of person to suddenly show such humility, how could she not suspect that Sia is out for revenge.
The serial has also started showing some divisions in Ammaji's family, with her sons resenting the attention shown to one of the sons, and you also got to hear that one of her sons is actually making sure that he is putting some money aside every month in a different bank account, something that Ammaji definitely would not know.
One is pretty sure that the serial would show the humiliation being depicted on Sia for some more time before they can show how Sia can extract her revenge for the humiliation that her family and she has undergone.

Hindi Serials - Balika Vadhu on Colors - Sugna's marriage problems

Sugna seems to be the character used to symbolize many of the problems facing women. She was married off at a young age, and her 'Gauna' (sending off to the groom's (Pratap's) house), an occasion of great celebration and joy, turned dismal when her husband, Pratap was killed by dacoits during the course of a robbery. Her in-laws blamed her for the death of her husband, and as a result, it was quite clear that Sugna could not live in their house; she remained in her parents house, and adapted the lifestyle of a widow (living in a small room, eating simple food, not enjoying life). Soon, it was the presence of Farida Jalal who forced some changes in the way Sugna lived her life, getting her to go back to school, and start enjoying some of the more simple pleasures of life.
And then enters a new character, called Shyam, a young guy, who is actually the son of Madan, a neighbor from the village who has a long standing feud with Kalyani and her sons, and keeps fighting with them over many issues. Shyam likes Sugna and slowly gets more attracted to her (he also saves Jagdish's life once), and eventually proposes to her. Initially Kalyani is not happy over this, but she turns around over a period of time, since it also means that Sugna would get married again. There is a lot of issue about this, since Sugna used to meet Pratap before her Gauna and is pregnant with Pratap's child (even though Sugna was not supposed to have a physical relationship with Pratap before the Gauna, and this pregnancy horrifies Kalyani, given the social problems this would cause).
Eventually, Kalyani agrees for the marriage, and Shyam knows about the pregnancy, and is fine with it. Madanji is not told about the pregnancy since Shyam volunteers to share the information with his father. And soon, it is time for the marriage. However, Kalyani's hopes that the pregnancy would get hidden go for a toss when Sugna is not supposed to do the 7 pheras around the fire because of her pregnancy; and this is when it is realizes that Shyam has not told anyone about this pregnancy. Both his elder uncle and father object vehemently, and make the information (that was supposed to be kept a secret) public. Shyam so far has been not following his father's orders, and sticks to his stand that he has come to marry Sugna and will do so.

Hindi Serials - Jyoti about to get married to Pankaj - NDTV Imagine

Jyoti is about to get married to Pankaj, and the serial has showcasing this for quite some time. After Jyoti left her house after feeling that no one in the house wanted her there (and her own step-mother, whom she loved as a mother also seemed to hate her as opposed to her other sister Susham), she went to the Kendra and stayed there for support. This was also the time when she tried to commit suicide after being in depression for some time. She was still very cut off from her family and not in contact.
At the same time, Sushma and Brij were trying to make the most of the situation, with Susham assuring her mother that things will be fine, and at the same time, trying to take Jyoti's position in the dance show. However, things are not totally well between Sushma and Brij, with Sushma seeing the harsher side of Brij, and starting to get scared of his temper, as was seen recently when the club manager was criticizing Sushma for not smiling while giving her performance, and Brij looking on with anger.
Jyoti in the meantime, has agreed to marry Pankaj who plays a blind but loving man in the serial. Even after she is asked repeatedly, she is firm on her determination to marry Pankaj, and things are peaking for the various functions that happen at this stage. Jyoti showed the Mehndi ceremony, and Pankaj was able to understand the various items drawn on Jyoti's hand even though he was blind, something that impressed Jyoti a lot. At the same time, the problems in her house because of lack of an earning member are growing.

Indian Hindi Serials - Na Aana Iss Des Laado on Colors TV

As you see shows moving away from the Saas Bahu, a lot of the shows are moving towards stories based on social problems, whether they be about class differences such as in Uttaran, or about underage marriage as in Ballika Vadhu, or about female infanticide, such as in 'Na Aana Is Desh Ladoo' on Colors TV. The show deals with the concept of female infanticide and repression of women in a village. Surprisingly (or maybe not so surprising), the repression of women is fully supported by another strong woman, Ammaji. Ammaji is the one who decides that a woman has asserted herself too much and needs to be pushed into a small closed and suffocating room, it is Ammaji who decrees that newly born girls would be killed by drowning them in milk, and many other such acts.



However, Ammaji is slowly starting to meet resistance. The daughter of a new doctor in the village, Sia, is slowly starting to rebel against the practices implemented by Ammaji that are very anti-women. In a twist, Sia falls in love with Ammaji's own son Raghav (who has also rebelled against the family - however, we were long speculating that Sia would in fact fall for one of Ammaji's family members and would have to withstand Ammaji's pressures and methods), and finally after some long thought and a lot of drama, decided that she would get married to Raghav.
Against all expectations, Ammaji seems to welcome the marriage, however, you cannot expect this welcome to continue, and so it would be. There will be happenings where Sia will come under a lot of pressure, and Ammaji would seem to gain the upper hand.
