Veiwers contradicting their own ONCE SAID opinions - Page 2

Hello everybody, Hi 2 u 2

I think the show is still on track. How else you could have had imagined a transition? Sorry, I'm not writing this to hurt anybody but just my own opinion. You bear your own right to go against or agreeing on my statements. I don't think you are hurting anybody's feelings. It always good to hear the other person's point of view. So feel free to have your say. It's a friendly forum and the members are mature too.

Some points I think are valid:

1. I have read people once were demanding the show to go on like American shows in terms of using real antara and showing her growing as the show progresses. Now, I read one person saying a show should only go for few weeks so that they don't loose its magic touch and remain in our hearts.

People are watching this show because they love the kids and /or because they want to know more about autism. So as a platform for Autism, it's a gr8 idea. To show an on-going saga of Antara would swamp the viewer and within a year he would lose interest in the subject. So my POV is that a "short and sweet" (this is speaking idiomatically) story of a little autistic girl would remain more embedded in the viewer's mind.

2. I know its really hurting to see Vidya blaming Antara. But she's not blaming for all what happened, but to be honest if you look it in a way it does kind of make sense what she said. Aditya might not have needed loan if he wasn't using the money for Antara's expensive therapies and even using the money from Abhishek's FD. Vidya's exact words were " sometimes it leads me to beleive how our lives would have been if Antara hasn't been there." She can't blame Aarti because she was already a member of the house and Antara was a later addition to the family. (Sorry if I'm offending any of the loving viewers) When Vidya at first objected to the FD being encashed by Adit, it was understandable but later she herself insists that the same money be used for Antara. I thought that Vidya's character was evolving. The whole change of her stance was well accepted by everyone for she was shown wearing a halo. After this bond developed strong (or so we thought), a miscarriage puts the clock right back and Vidya is spewing venom once again. Three years have passed. I do recall the misgivings she had about carrying this same baby to full term. It was her mother who was able to change her mind. She knew everyone was waiting for the baby including Antara. It dies unfortunately. That is fate. It breaks my heart to see the character of a good natured maternal character like Vidya being torn to shreds. If you have noticed every character shown in the serial have a streak of cruelty in them.

Vidya towards Adit and Antara

Arti towards Antara

Sam towards Arti for not telling her the whole truth.

Adit towards almost everyone. Antara (orphanage) Vidya ( infedelity)

Weak characters do not a good story make. Again my POV

3. PLEASE BE PATIENT (skeptical , I know we are all not saints, but SABBAR KA FAL MEETHA BHI TO HOTA HAI. LOL). We have only just seen 2 episodes of the leap. I'm sooooo dead sure that creatives have some WONDERFUL scenes coming up to show how antara has grown up into "really understanding albeit not really saying anything" sweet little girl. And ANTARA HERSELF will be the one to bring Vidya back to her normal self. Just wait and watch, the show is gonna be amazing after few more boring episodes. And if it still didn't attract anybody, even I would stop watching the show. But we need to give it "just" a little more time and stop being melodramatic ourselves rather than calling show a melodrama. How many of you see this stuff yourself or do you make do with updates? I am watching this drivel daily and then updating. No wonder I am revolting. Whenever I sit to update I dont know where to start and how to write. I reiterate it's a torture right now. And yes in a sense I am melodramatic but not without a cause. In a post made earlier, I had said that I give the creatives a week to pull up their socks. How long dyu want me to be patient, sweetie? How I wish I could just stay away for 2-3 weeks from this show and wait for it resurrect itself. 😭 😭 😭

4. Someone was saying ' the show is loosing focus and it should be on autism not the family drama.' I'm exremely sorry to intervene, but I myself have worked in the psychiatric department in New York for the past 3 years and I have been working with Autistic kids myself. If we are expecting a CURE to autism in this show, PLEASE don't expect it and I know its hurting and sad to know this. Autistic kids are never cured but they do learn a lot! and it REALLY DOES take time. So they had to show a leap and can't be showing progress in a matter of days. So, they had to switch their focus back and forth from FAMILY TO AUTISM and AUTISM TO FAMILY. Wouldn't it be nice to know the MISTAKES of the families and then realize that if anyone of us are lucky to have this special kid, what we are suppose to do and what not???? it might be an indirect way to learn about families bearing autistic kid but it certainly is a way of learning about autism.

Yes I understand this myself. I have said so in many posts that autism cannot be cured but the person can be rehabilated. When ppl have gone wild with the Billo-Antara romance, I know in real life this could be far from true. I deal with special children myself. They are not autistic but their condition is just as grave if not worse at times. While patience is inculcated in me, I don't have any to spare for the creatives. My patience is only for my kids. 😉

Sorry if I wasted anybody's time and it makes sense somehow. Sigh..............

Message to Mohnish --> Please don't let us down. I'm sure you have a wonderful script after these few, I m not gonna call them boring, but transition episodes.

I hope he keeps these transition epis limited to just 5 -6

Thanks for your time everybody. Thanks for your time too.
