The God should forgive me for dreaming about his consort at nights lately. I hope the story of sati and shiva ( hindu god and his wife ) has a happy ending.I really hope so.ĪAAAHHH sati.so lovely, frail, delicate, fair, soft. And I used to listen with rapt attention-that's because she had a gift of a storyteller.Īfter a long time I got interested in hindu mythology again-thanks to this serial. When I was a child my grandmother used to narrate stories from scriptures to me religiously every night. I never realised that ancient tales of our land and culture could be so beautifully presented on celluloid.Īnd it rekindled my interest in hindu mythology like never before. Rich and vibrant in colours, with grand sets and scintillating music that touches your heart, is presented a myth and legend of my land that is India. I have watched about 38 episodes and I like it already.

Years later watching the serial on youtube today, I found myself again interested. Ravi Rai who directed it became a much sought after director, directing other TV serials like 'Teacher'. The serial went on to become a success, and was ZEE TV's number one serial at that time. Indeed music is the high point of the serial, and it has many emotional scenes acted very well. But the serial is embellished with superb songs by Talat Aziz and the late Jagjit Singh, and these heighten the emotion and sensitivity of the scenes. This being a TV serial, everything happens in slow motion-for the whole story is to be dragged over 90+ episodes of 23 minutes each.
Above all, even when the lovers meet in restaurants there is not sex or even kissing-the relationship between Sachin and Shivani remains physically chaste all the time because the Indian middle class audience which watched the serial at that time ( 90s ) was not prepared for that.
The era was old too-women did not smoke or drink even when the people shown were sophisticated city people because westernization had not seeped in at that time. The world was of the early nineties-so no mobile phones. No HD format, no wide screen format-for it was made 20 years ago when TV had not switched to this technology. On seeing a few episodes of the serial on youtube recently, I was struck by how old the serial looks. So what will happen when their respective partners ( Prajakti Deshmukh and Mahesh Thakur ) discover what is happening ? Will it lead to Sailaab-the flood. Soon they realise that if they cannot meet even for a single day then they feel an emptiness.On the surface they pretend to be happy in the respective marriages but reality is different. Clandestine meetings are sought and they begin to date again on the sly. They discover that they never stopped loving each other. Years later Sachin's and Renuka's paths cross again, and old sparks fly again. Her parents are opposed to the marriage and do not attend the marriage. She has known of his former love and is warned by her parents that Sachin has not got over his love for Renuka, but she disregards this advice and marries Sachin. Prajakti Deshmukh, who is Renuka's friend marries him. And Sachin-he rises like a phoenix from the ashes to work hard and carve a name for himself. Renuka is married off to another person, a rich doctor played first by Ajinkya Dev and later by Mahesh Thakur-the change in actors being a phenomena of long TV serials. At the same time he hears of his father's death and the world collapses around him.
When Sachin hears of this he is devastated. Under severe pressure Renuka crumbles and agrees to end the relationship. When Raju hears of this he pours petrol on himself and threatens to kill himself by burning himself to death if Renuka elopes. Raju has big dreams of marrying his beloved sister to a rich man, and asks her to cut off the relationship. But does not want him to marry his sister. Of course, he feels Sachin is a good boy and has nothing against him. Reason-Sachin is not equal to his family financially. He is okay as far as Sachin is coming to his house as Renuka's friend, but is dead against the marriage. īut Renuka's big brother Raju Kher is not impressed. They meet secretly and later openly and seem perfect for each other. But big city girl Renuka Shahane is bowled over by his honesty and simplicity and soon they are in love. He is a hard worker, but does not have much money. Sachin is struggling in the ad industry, and has come from another town. The serial shows two young lovers in love with one another in Mumbai/Bombay-Sachin Khedekar and Renuka Shahane. 'Sailaab' was one of the 'extramarital affairs serials' popular at that time ( 90s ) on Zee TV, the other being 'Hasratein' ( desires ).
