Forcing Myself to Watch KB - Page 4

@rainabow its not comparing other shows.. Defiantly this show is good but how many times do we need to watch Simi feeding Abhi and visa versa

Not that the romantic scene needs to give goose bumps,

All we are asking that potential scenes
Like the evening when Abhi decorated the Dhabba house for a beautiful dinner
The could have made it that their beautiful day,
Anuj's jobless problem could have been avoided by Simi, she could have had a beautiful time and next day she could have told Abhi abt it .. Or later after she thanked him abt how happy she is that Abhi has done soo much for her she could have told
They kill the scene before it develops with unwanted worries which Simi builds up when she is with her husband

Another scene like the bangle scene where he could have been shown putting the bangles in her hand and telling her that he could not buy mush but here is the first gift after our wedding and I will get you something more special when I get a job

Even the day of the navrathra celebration she she was dressed well and he came with Samosas he was admiring her he could have shown praising her and she telling him that tumharey saat Muhjey kushi milthi hai !!

small conversation which have good potential for the scene would be enough as a viewer to enjoy !!

Thats all we ask for !

tanya12, dolly9180, Vancouverite, .-Wish-., -NEETU-, Gur.N.cool, steffroc, shanti05, Thanks for your support regarding this post. We rarely say thanks to those who like our posts and I hope that if you feel this way, that you will join us in contacting zeetv and expressing your wish to see things that are better. We all wanted Simi and Abhi to get together, but that didn't mean we wanted it to happen immediately. We wanted us to glide into it smoothly and serenely like when you savour a lovely silky dessert at the end of the day. A romance that is like a comfy pair of slips that eases your feet or a warm bath that caresses your aching muscles letting you drift to a land of clouds and cool breezes...I think you get my points. Instead we are graced with a wham bam thank you ma'am romance, something like a one night stand where you get plastered to the wall only to wake up next to something you with which you wouldn't even wipe your nose.

So let's hope the writers get the point and give us something good, otherwise we're going to have to fly over ourselves.

I've never really posted on this forum, just been a silent reader, but I couldn't resist this time.

Laila,

Just like you have said, I used to wait for this show as if there isn't anything else in this world to do.

I love the actors expressions and emoting. As I have earlier said, I am struggling to find something good as a reason to watch.

Of late Daboo has started that appreciation thread where each one is recollecting the good old scenes all of us once liked.

And just those initial three months episodes has left such a lasting impresssion on my mind, that I continue watching in spite of the lack of happy and endearing moments for Simi and Abhi.

When i saw the early promo for KB, I liked Smriti when she says...Todi moti hoon na...Shaadi nahi hui....I could relate because i am plump just like her and yes in my mom's decade long struggle to get me a partner, I have been rejected twice as i am plump.But that rejection was long time ago. Now I am doing it for various other reasons.

I could relate manjuji with my mom who wants her daughter married. Thankfully my mom doesnt behave like her.

I started out loving Simi, sympathising and empathising with her but i have ended up loving Abhi because such good characters can be found only in fiction

I have been too busy all these years to contemplate about relationships. But I have had the time since I have started seeing this.

The good things i have learnt from this show:

1.I am grateful that I have wonderful supportive parents and not the likes of Manjuji

2.I am happy I am a single daughter to my parents. And I am happy I have no siblings thanking god i was not bestowed with the kinds shown on KB

3. I may raise just one child if ever i get married

4.I never had the habit of boasting to family and friends that i have done a favour for them. Now i let them know so that they dont take me for granted.

5.I was termed as being a feminist. Now I know in what all ways I should not be treating a husband. Behaving in the true sense of my zodiac sign, i rarely and openly display love and affection publicly even with people i am close. i feel they know already. But now I know how important it is to appreciate the other person's love and concern. And how necessary it is to make your partner feel important and loved.

WAAH..Fantastically written!👍🏼

So as you say, i will also watch the show forcefully.

To state a fact, I have been missing you here. So be around as active as before. So what if old associations are not present, lets be together,ultimately we want the best out of this show. Whether CVs will give that pleasure to us,we dont know. But lets hope.

Of course dramas are unrealistic in many areas, but at least make it interesting to watch. KB is both over the top and unrealistic. That's a double dose. On top of that the characters have nothing to do except center their lives around Simi and taking their revenage on her - that's too much to watch after a while. Not because I care about Simi but that gets really boring.

I think 98% of serials are like this, so I'm not sure I can pick out KB as being exceptional. In some ways it's actually more bearable. At least Simi doesn't go running and crying to idols of Kanha every time something doesn't go her way.

The point is that all serials have a main heroine from which all other stories emanate, and a rushed romance, so this one isn't special to me in any way for those reasons. I don't find most serial romances to be terribly gripping. They are forced and the "romantic scenes" are cheesy and cliched. I can see why some totally inexperienced and naive teens might get goosebumps watching them, but I am not part of that demographic so perhaps these serials are just not meant for me.

That said, I thought this serial was going to be different from others when I first started watching, and while it sort of is, it still appears that the writers are too shy to do anything really bold and new.

What I wish they would focus on more is how Simi and Abhi are able to nurture their relationship in the midst of a conservative society that clearly does not approve of it. That is the one truly defining and unique part of this show and this story that I don't think any other serial has covered. We've seen lousy mothers, manipulative bahus, helpless fathers, stupid sons (Anuj and Anita are the Yuvraj and Pavitra of this show), etc. This show has the potential to be unique in so many ways but they keep falling back on cliched formulas.
