Hindi TV Serial - Devon Ke Dev Mahadev - Parvathi angry, moves out of Kailash

After the defeat of Andhak at the combined hands of Ma Kali (when goddess Parvathi had to take the shape of Kali  to defeat Andhak who was otherwise not anywhere near getting defeated) and a form taken by Mahadev, there was again the problem of how to calm down Ma Kaali, who does not easily calm down and who, if she remains in her angry and violent form, can cause huge problems to the world as such. However, it is not easy for Mahadev to do so. He has already done so on 2 different occasions in the past, once by coming under her feet and once by taking the form of a child. However, he had warned Lord Brahma that this time, it would be difficult. He does try to calm her down, but she ignores these attempts and remains in the violent and angry Ma Kali form. Brahma tells Mahadev that he should take the Aghori form to calm her down, but Mahadev does not agree immediately to this, saying that she should be given another chance. In the meantime, Kaali wanders through the river Ganga (her own sister) wounding her because of the immense energy that she is carrying with her. Finally, Mahadev takes on the aghori form and manages to calm down Ma Kaali and brings her back into the form of Parvati.
On the other side are these couple of aghoris (with one of them being played by Sudesh Berry) who want to capture Ma Kaali or bring her under their influence for the immense energies and powers she has. They are disappointed that she has gone back to becoming goddess Parvathi but are reassured that she remains uneasy for now, this time the conversion to Goddess Parvathi has not seen so smooth as it used to be. Even Mahadev knows that this time the re-conversion has not been fully settled and worries about what will happen. And soon this is manifested when Parvathi comes back to Kailash and sees that Ganga was running the show over there in her absense. And when Ganga makes a comment about how she was taken by Mahadev in his hair, she gets very angry at Ganga and also tells Mahadev that he was not supporting her when she was being insulted and in fact took on the aghori form only to protect Ganga from the heat of Ma Kaali, not before. She she has decided to leave Kailash of her own free will and will come back only when she wants to, not otherwise. Everybody is very worried, but no one is able to persuade her otherwise and she leaves from there in an angry form.
Soon her leaving from there becomes known. The 2 aghoris are delighted since they are hoping to put her in a position where they can influence her and become very powerful. There were also 2 asuras who wanted to conquer her and make her their slave and come before her very arrogant, and are soon dispatched when she takes on another form (the 8th out of the 10 different energies that she has). In between she also comes across some ladies who are being harassed and asking her for health. She quickly kills their tormentors and gets angrier at what she sees are some of the injustices that are happening. She gets very angry when Indira appears before her and reminds her of her duties; telling him to quickly vanish from there if he knows what is good for him, and if her reminds her again of what her duties are, then he will get it.
However, in the end, in her Ma Kaali form, she does come under the influence of these aghoris who are also shown as ardent devotees, and who manage to control her. Now Mahadev has to come to do battle with them in order to get Kaali out of there and finally back to Parvathi form.

Hindi TV Serial - Bade Acche Lagte Hain - Priya still in a coma, starting to sink

This was a development that few people would have projected. And yet, there is an unsettling feeling about the way that the serial has taken such a serious topic and let it die down (hopefully it will get raised again as and when Priya comes out of her coma). 7 years back, Pihu had landed up in serious trouble when she fell in a rebellious love with Varun (who was the son of Shruti and the old enemy Ashwin). Varun was of course looking for revenge on Priya, and Pihu was the perfect way to take such revenge. What he neglected to remember in all his arrogance was that she was only 15 years old and underage, and the (rich and powerful) parents of such an underage girl would be very difficult to handle and could make life hell. And then when it came to the crunch, even Pihu chose to save herself and handed over Varun to go to hell. When it came to a situation where both of them were together in a room at the prom party, obviously upto no good and Priya caught them, things would get very problematic. Pihu prompty cried rape and the poor guy landed up in jail; with the powerful parents ensuring that the police did not listen to anyone and Varun also got beaten up. This caused huge problems to his family as well (his own life was ruined).
False allegations of rape can be a huge problem. Even though Varun was upto no good, he had not really done anything wrong so far and yet was now in a critical problem. The serial should have done some focusing on this area, instead they took it even further by showing that Varun was so overcome by the problems that happened to his parents and brother that he committed suicide. On the other side, Priya finally realized that there was something fishy and managed to get the truth out of Pihu; also realizing that her own attitude had also caused problems to Pihu. She meant to take Pihu to the police station but learnt that Varun had committed suicide, and then a car accident happened where she went into a coma because of her injuries and has been in the same state for 7 years now.
Cut to the current scene. The serial has not shown whether Pihu owned up to whatever happened 7 years back, but the family is still running smoothly. Ram has done both roles of mom and dad, and is also assisted a lot by the Neha and Vikram, and by Juhi, who was an old friend of Priya and had just met her a few days back 7 years ago. She has taken so much charge of their lives that the children call her choti mom (younger mother now). In fact, the children have started to feel that everybody should accept that Priya is not going to come out of the coma and that Ram should get remarried to Juhi so that things get more settled for him. Ram of course is shocked at this and says that nothing like this is going to happen.
The situation on the front of Priya is starting to get worse with doctors saying that if Priya does not come out of coma this year, she may never come out of the coma, and further still, her organs are now starting to sink and she is getting into trouble. Ram is horrified at this news, and although he has been visiting her at the hospital every day for 7 years, he decides to make a change and bring her home so that she can come to comfortable surroundings and maybe now come out of the coma.

Hindi TV Serial - Balika Vadhu - Jagya says no to the marriage, shocks everyone

For some time now, the serial has been showing Jagya getting very confused about what he wants. He had some affection for Ganga, and he was thinking that this was part of his duty towards her. It was surprising to the viewers of the serial that the serial showed him agreeing to marriage with Sanchi, although to everybody in the serial, they could see that Sanchi was making a lot of effort to get closer to Jagya and his family, changing herself to become more traditional and able to fit in the Singh household, and also losing some of the arrogance that she had.
However, as Ganga had left the house and even left the city to go do a course elsewhere, Jagya was even missing her more. Others close to him such as Lal Singh and Anandi had also noticed this, and questioned him more about what he wanted and what was in his mind. Finally he admitted to himself that he was indeed in deep love with Ganga, but at the same time, he also realized that he had said yes to Sanchi and they had also got engaged; backing out at this juncture would lead to a lot of problems for everybody and a lot of people would be hurt. So, despite knowing that he would not be happy with Sanchi, he was unwilling to break the relationship.
But then sometime or the other, Jagya would come to know the true feelings for Sanchi. She was still totally infatuated with Jagya, but that was it, her arrogance and selfishness were still present. Jagya and Anandi were at a restaurant to discuss the marriage, and where Jagya asked Anandi about what she felt, whether Sanchi had changed. Anandi of course said that she was convinced that Sanchi had totally changed, had given up her arrogance and was trying her best about how to live in Jagya's house and adopt the different and more conservative customs that were present there. Now, there is no objection if somebody wants to change the customs, but not when they are lying about their feelings for the same; Sanchi has always made it seem that she wants to adopt the customs of Jagya's house while she had no feelings regarding the same.
So, Sanchi was with her friends and both Jagya and Anandi had heard a lot of stuff that made Jagya surprised and would have made Anandi ashamed about the praise she had given to Sanchi. Sanchi was heard very clearly telling her friends that she was pretending to change herself, her aim was to ensure that once she was married, she would make Jagya leave Jaitsar and go to either Mumbai or overseas, the feelings of his family be damned. Both Jagya and Anandi were shocked to hear all this.
At this, Jagya was confused about what to do. He finally decided to make a break and went to his inlaws house and told them, not about what Sanchi had said, but that he had thought a lot about the relationship and the impending marriage and he did not think that they were the same kind of people. And hence, after some more similar words, he finally said that he was calling off the marriage. Everybody was shocked; even Anandi since she had asked Jagya to think this over and then decide what to do. The family members pleaded with Jagya, even caught his collar, but he refused to change his decision and pleaded for forgiveness for his decision, but said that he could not change his decision. This will have a lot of ripple effects on the entire family, and since Anandi is considered to be from Jagya's house, maybe to her as well.
