Hindi TV Serial - Maryada Lekin Kab Tak - Devyani finally launched divorce proceedings

The show has shown the distances between Brahmanand and his wife Devyani growing over a period of time. This increased when Devyani got to know about the relationship that her husband has formed with her own sister Uttara. She is also very angry at Uttara over what has happened, and cannot understand how Uttara would have formed a relationship with her own brother-in-law, that too when her own sister is there in the household.
Priya is fully supportive of her mother-in-law and so is Brahmanand's father who is also aware of the fact that his son is an evil man, who has betrayed his own wife many times, and who is guilty of numerous other crimes. However, Brahmanand's younger son, Aditya does not know the reality of his father, and so is unable to understand what his mother is doing, and how his own wife Priya is also going against his own father (he still does not know that the attempted molestation of his own wife Priya was also done by his own father).
So now the case is in court, with Brahmanand doing his own case, and he is trying to ensure that he uses all the tactics he knows to twist the facts, to portray himself as the wronged one, the one on whose character there is a taint; and he manages to deny all the accusations so far. This is putting Devyani in a twist, since she wants to avoid calling Uttara, and she has a lot of doubts about calling her own sister on the stage and accuse her of having an affair with her own brother-in-law, but this has now happened and the fact about Uttara has also been put on the stage.
There are a lot of doubts about whether Uttara will indeed admit to the affair in court, and Brahmanand has also threatened her not to do something like this. In addition, Brahmanand seeks to turn the tables on Devyani by accusing her of having an affair with her lawyer.

Hindi TV Serial - Phulwa - Abhay saves the life of Phulwa when she almost burns to death in the kitchen

The serial shows a huge amount of drama in the serial, typically based very loosely on the initial life of Phoolan Devi, the most famous female dacoit of the Chambal. Similar to Phoolan Devi, Phulwa is from the Chambal region, with a lot of poverty and oppression, and then picks up the gun to avenge the death of family members, inspired by another dacoit. Over the period of time, she grows up, and then comes the presence of the ACP, Abhay into the village, who is searching for the dacoits.
However, things get complicated when Phulwa believes that she has taken her revenge, but in fact, one of her victims is the brother of the ACP, and his father, the Thakur, wants his revenge on Phulwa. So, in a twist, Pulwa gets married to the ACP, and comes to the house of the Thakur as his daughter-in-law.
This is a horrid thought to the Thakur, and he decides that he will take more steps, and does one of the most usual ways shown in Hindi serials (leaving the gas pipe on, so that whoever burns a match will catch fire). However, by this time, Abhay is starting to like Phulwa, and once he sees that she has caught fire, saves her and brings her to the hospital.
His father is astonished that his son has saved Phulwa, and starts poisoning Abhay's mind again, till the time that Abhay says that he did a mistake, and takes a cup and cuts his hand, showing that he has shed the blood which had saved Phulwa. What will happen next ? Phulwa has already been told that her life was saved by Abhay, and that he apparently cares for her.

Hindi TV Serial - Saubhagyavati Bhava - The story of an abusive husband, who seems ideal outside

Abuse in a marriage is something that happens much more frequently in conservative societies, such as India or in Islamic countries of the Middle east. In such countries, the amount of freedom available to women or ladies is much lower and the husband feels that the woman is more under his control. And as a result, there is a feeling to some degree that the husband is in a superior position and can do what he wants. And when you combine this with the overall position in society such that women not working, having an overall lower stats, it can set the ground very clearly for those men who feel over-jealous of their wife.
This is such a story, and one would have seen some traces of this in a 2007 movie called 'Provoked', starring Aishwarya Rai, based on the story of an Indian lady in the United Kingdom called ' Kiranjit Ahluwalia' who was abused by her husband on a regular basis and got no support from her own family, and who finally burnt her husband to death and went through a long court case to get her freedom from the court case against her.
The story of the serial, 'Dil Se Di Dua - Saubhagyavati Bhava' is on similar lines, with a new marriage. This is supposedly an ideal marriage, with the marriage between Viraj and Jhahnvi. Viraj is seen as a polite and nice man, and thus the marriage is seen as a good marriage. However, unknown to others, and much known to Jhahnvi, Viraj is highly possessive and had a bad childhood; as a result of which, from time to time, he ill-treats Jhanvi, including physically abusing her. She is tremendous shock because of this ill-treatment and is now trying to find a way to escape.

Hindi TV Serial - Big Boss 5 - Juhi Parmar wins the finale of the Big Boss Season 5

This year's big boss was indeed a spectacle; a lot of people I knew stopped watching it because of the high amount of fights that happened on the show all the time. If the objective of the makers of the serial was to show the possible amount of fights and controversy that could happen, then having the specific characters in the show who would do a lot of fighting was important; in the past, Dolly Bindra had filled that role; in the current series, people such as Akashdeep Sehgal, Pooja Missra, Siddharth, Mehak, and a few others had played that role importantly. The glamour cum controversy quotient was filled to the maximum with the induction of Sunny Leone as a participant; Sunny was controversial since she had acted in adult / porn movies for many years now and hence to have such a participant was interesting and controversial.
The overall participant list for the serial was:
Shakti Kapoor, Pooja Bedi, Shonali Nagrani, Nihita Biswas, Shraddha Sharma, Mandeep Bevli, Raageshwari, Vida Samadzai, Mahek Chahal, Sonika Kaliraman Malik, Pooja Misrra, Gulabo Sapera, Laxmi Narayan, Juhi Parmar, Amar Upadhyay, Siddharth Bhardwaj, Akashdeep Saighal
alias "Sky", Swami Agnivesh, Sunny Leone, Andrew Symonds, and Yamamotoyama
Towards the end, Sunny Leone was the last contestant to be evicted from the show; and then the final episode of the show was where the decision would be taken on who won the show. So, we had 4 people in the show at the finale - Siddharth, Mehek, Sky, and Juhi. Sid and Sky were evicted, leaving Juhi and Mehek in the show; and then the hosts, Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan finally announced that Juhi was the winner.
