I totally agree Shanti. I think what attracted many of us to the show in the first place (apart from 'The Eyes' and 'The Smile' 😉) was the close to reality settings, scenes and characters. Now it has plummeted from mellow drama to melodrama 😭 - don't know how much longer I can bear this.

These days I fast forward the the other scenes and only watch Abhi - I wonder how he keeps giving good expressions thru the zaniest scenes. They are probably giving him fewer lines these days as they are afraid he may laugh out loud when he opens his mouth 😆.



Agree completely especially with that marked in bold.
KB started with a middle class family life with characters that people like us could identify with.
A loving family:

RS - who is having a small garments shop, he's happy that he can support his family. He is proud of his daughters.

Manjuji - A mother who's aim is to get a suitable groom at the earliest for her eldest daughter so that the society will stop pointing fingers at them.

Simi - who has crossed the 'ideal' marriageable age, her weight issue, her frustration after getting rejected several times, etc

Mili - who is always encouraging and supporting her eldest sis Simi no matter what others say.

Neetu - A spoilt girl who is always in her own dream world and hopes that some day a prince charming will come to take her away

Anuj - The only son who is working in a bank but is not very happy with the job.

Earlier the scenes were simple and real-life-like with situations such that we felt we were part of the Sethi family and Karol baug.
But, now it is more of typical drama. A feeling of fear is there about what is going to happen next, will it be good or bad.

And AA are truly getting on everyone's nerves. Its difficult to imagine a son and daughter-in-law behaving like this with their own parents and siblings.

But still lets hope that the storyline imorves and we get to see and like KB as much/more than we did earlier.

Yes-Toooooooooooo muuuuch Unbeleivable Melodrama in This Serial like Abhi-Simmi-Mili JOINING HANDS Like Kids😆 and Now Anuj-Anita-ManjuJi.... Do people really Join Hands like that..?Childish Scenes...Over Melodramatic!!
And almost Everything is Extreeeeeeme in Karol Baagh.... Fathers/Mothers Disowning Children easily............ Bhaiya-Bhabhi reacting extremely Rudely (N Simmi-Anuj-Anita Confrontations,Slap etc etc Openly in a Hospital😆 yet no staff Objects😳} Good Extremes are really too much So are Bad ones..... Do we see such good n suuuuch Bad people in real lives?? Everytime Fights in a family among Family Members? NO TOLERANCE on any side at all..??There are also family fights in other Serials as Pavitra Rishta But as the Mother in that Drama says -Jhaggrey toh sabhi parivar mein hotey hain,Par Parivar firr sey muskrata hai....bikharta nahiin' BUT Here in Karol baagh Jhagrey hotey hain Aur Parivar Bikhar rahe hain😭....Fights,disagreeing with one another lead to Extreme steps taken....Disowning Children etc etc.... Slapping grown Up kids on Multiple occassions in front of Others(Yeah They've also Shown Sulochana Slapping Varsha in 'Pavitra Rishta'Front of everybody BUT Later Sulochana,The Mother admits that She'd been Wrong in reacting that extremely impulsive way Though Varsha was wrong but still her parents did not Disown Varsha or throw her out even after Varsha refused to Follow the Rules of the family Nor did Varsha's parents disown her after She'd left home & She'd even accused her family to be after her Income which Btw I support More that You can make your kids see right way rather than Always threatning them/Disowning Them /Kicking them out of the house😕,Doing Son/Daughter's Shraadh😵 rather than Trying to listen to them or make them Understand {Only Exception is NEETU-Wonder Why Rajinder thinks She's Worth of His property🤔??????? Maybe because She's a Daughter😲} Extreme measures taken by parents sometimes can be really bad because that leads children to take Extreme measures...Bad for everybody ,Solves Nothing actually ) I have NEVER Suppported Rajinder Taunting His Son though he hadn't Committed any Crime Actually i think Rajinder is responsible for Anuj's reactions because Rajinder always has had a Stepfatherly attitude and Over Reacting Impulsive Father towrds Anuj(Again,Rajinder Did not say anything,let alone Slap Neetu for her Scandalous deeds!!) He's always threatning Anuj rather than Explaining him/trying to make him Understand Otherwise I found the boy quite good.... ANY Child if Criticized continuously by His/Her parents would become frustrated and express his/her frustration through -Ve actions... In Karol Baagh Family Members CALL NAMES.... Who gave the Right to Milli Or manjuJi to call Neetu Jhalli..huh?? I'm surprised to see Milli calling her Elder-Sister names like Jhalli ....How would milli feel if Neetu calles Milli -"Billi " as She has Cat's Eyes n Fights a lot?😲😲????? Is that something to be appreciated/Supported because Someone in the Family is Smarter than the Other person?
NEVER!!
.Btw...I actually think What they've shown with Neetu is 'practical' because Neetu too,like Her Brother Being Continuously Taunted went they Wrong way to PROVE that what they thought of her..... But in Contrast to Anuj's case,handling Neetu's case was 'better' from Parental point of View as Any Parent Would tryt o Solve if their Teenage daughter makes such a Blunder..... yeah,it's a Difffrent Question if it's right Or wrong But After all Omi is not 100 % Normal So Neetu also Compromised on her Part?? And to be practical..What should've Rajinder Manju Done with Neetu? thrown her out of 12.24 Karol Baagh Like Anuj to be on the Streets?? Parents are Not This Selfish/Casual Or Intolerant as to Disown kids because of the 'Mistakes' they've made.... Yes,They might Be wrong But they're after all yours..Naa??
And If Parents Support their kids to Some extent also trying to correct their mistakes (NOT BY SLAPPING) by explaining them,It Does Give Good results!!!!! In pavitra Rishta Actually Varsha realizes that she'd been wrong and after She comes back home her Parents never taunt her for that....In fact they've found a good groom for her.... that's the right thing for parents to do!!
So, very Negative and Only Negative things about Relationships Shown in Karol Baagh can't agree with them....
I'm Sick n Tired of these Constant Extreme-Fights and threats among Family Members in Karol baagh .....
