Star Plus Perfect Bride: Three Fish Story of Panchtantra

Three fish lived in a pond. Their names were Anagatavidhata, Pratyutpannamati and Yadbhavishya. Some fishermen passing by the pond wondered, “Hey, we have never seen this pond. It seems to be full of fish. It is now evening. Let us come at dawn tomorrow and bag as many fish as we can.”

Hearing the fisherman, Anagatavidhata (the one who foresees a danger in time) called a meeting of all the fish and told them, “Haven't you heard what the fishermen were saying? We must move out of this pond tonight itself. As the wise men have said weak men should flee when a strong man invades or seek refuge in a fort. There is no alternative.”


“The fisherman will come tomorrow. I think we should not be here for even a moment more,” said Anagatavidhata.

“That's true. I endorse your suggestion,” said Pratyutpannamati. “Let's go elsewhere. Those who are afraid of foreign lands and those who are bound to their soil will die in their own country. He who can prosper anywhere does not die in his own land clinging to sentiment.”

Loudly laughing, Yadbhavishya said, “Your plans are not good. Why should we leave this pond, ancient home of our forefathers, because the fishermen have evil intentions? If it is destined, we cannot escape death even if we go elsewhere. Everything is in the hands of God. You cannot dispose what he proposes. Without his blessings people will die even if they have protection. With his blessings nobody can kill them even if they do not have protection.

Unable to convince him, the other two fish left the pond. Coming the next day, the fishermen took a big catch of fish in the pond. Yadbhavishya was one among them.

Moral :”Those who foresee the problem and those who deal with the problem when it arises are always victors and those who trust their luck are the losers.”

In context of Perfect Bride contestants

Sudesh Rani ...Anagatavidhata: Sudesh Rani also judged behavior of Pooja in time and kept Rumpa as second option. She wanted to win show and have marriage here on show. During whole show she is one who has foreseen things correctly and had made decisions accordingly. She eliminates strong compititors, when ever she got chance. She tried to manipulate behaviours of other according to her needs.

Rumpa ....Pratyutpannamati : As soon as Sudesh approaches to Rumpa, Rumpa decided to leave homeland (read Gaurav) and move to foreign Land (Hitesh) to survive and win show. She prefers to have a life (read winning show) instead of dieing. She knows that clinging to sentiments will give her nothing but elimination from show. So before she gets eliminated, its better to move on to prosperous foreign land.

Gurpreet ....Yadbhavishya: Not complete but to some extent Gurpreet can be compared to third fish, Despite being told by many to let forget past and move in future, she prefer to stick to past. It has already put her in danger and now she has nowhere to move on.

Its not only Gurpreet but Priyanka , Vivek and Rajbeer also falls in third fish category. These contestants instead of taking decision, prefer to leave things in hand of God. For example Rajbeer and Priyanka both are thinking that somehow God will make Rajbeer's father agree to marriage. They are also now just waiting for fishermen to come and take them away
