Defending Anu - Waste of My Time

Hola

Some of you knew how I used to defend Anu with a zest. I binged show at a go, so basically had fresh mindset and was able to understand connect dots to see where the struggles in setting boundaries, standing for self, resistance towards snapping at Baa, balancing trying to be independent and letting toxic relationships go,are coming from n taking her upbringing, 24/7 trauma for past 26yrs into consideration.

I won't deny the down fall of Anu's ckt was visible before and it was redeemed soon. Before the House Pooja Drama, I was Maan Fan, now I am having second thoughts. Her ckt went straight to gutter from then. I still found hope in the bread crumbs to defend her. From the recent accident episode I got nothing left to defend her. Zero sympathy towards ckt n her fate. I defend with zest and shred someone into pieces with same zest.

I feel horrible for myself as I read this somewhere, can't quote exact words but something similar 'you can't make choices or decisions on emotions as you will end up contradicting yourself, feel bad, blame ' and so on. Can't remember exact quote and I feel I was working on self in life with compassion n mindfulness but lost it all on a freaking fictional ckt. I go by simple rule regarding what I watch on TV, or in movies regardless of theme, genre n language, the thing that is shown happened somewhere to someone at least half of it, makers add more spices n sell it.

I hope things change for better in show n me learn to detach soon

Please don't feel bad... It's not your fault that the makers decided to ruin Anupama... I supported her too, felt sorry for her, gave justifications for her because I somewhere connected with her in the beginning.. Then the makers suddenly decide to give her ridiculous storylines and dialogues that contradicted all her initial words... I honestly felt like someone slapped right in my face... They invalidated the pain, trauma everything... Now I feel so let down by the creatives that I no longer want to feel sorry for her... The reason she is getting criticised by most people here I know is because people at some point were emotionally invested in the woman's progress...


For me the detachment and frustration started coming post her wedding with Anuj for I know in reality many women don't get an out and an understanding partner after they come out of an abusive background... There are happily remarried people but the percentage is very few... so when after she got the chance of getting out when she chose to run back to the abuse I felt upset... And the next thing that really shocked me was when Anuj who was very sane started talking that Vanraj is not really bad and kept Nodding to her delusions instead of bringing her out... The consistency was totally lacking...


So you see the frustration you see over here is mainly because many like you have at some point of time rooted for her growth and have been disappointed with her... so don't feel bad... It's all part and parcel...


Now throw away the frustrations for I am sure the makers have more frustrating storylines and dialogues planned... and have fun looking for loopholes and trolling the makers for writing stupidity and winning awards😎

I am a kdrama and anime watcher where a series is done and dusted in max 16 hours. So, watching an ITV show tested my patience. I was not a regular watcher. Did watch the initial episodes in bits and pieces with my mom as the tv remote used to be her property. I assumed she wouldn’t divorce Vanraj and as usual she would get back with him. After two years, the first temple scene of Anuj And Anupama came to my feed. I was impressed by the aesthetics of that scene. God knows what came over my mind and opened my Hotstar account which I open only when I have to watch any football/cricket/tennis match to watch Anupama 🤦🏽‍♀️

Anuj was a breath of fresh air. A person who was a true feminist and believed that a woman or any person can do anything. He loved her immensely but did not let that overpower him. Those episodes where he helps her to get on his feet, says that she is both the hero and heroine of her life and she doesn’t need any hero was wow. I really don’t know why did they rush with the love story? I feel they just brought him to test the waters and he cleared with flying marks. They got a huge online fandom and afterwards as we all know now that the show is all about Anupama and Vanraj , they don’t know what to do with Anuj.
I understand very well that a person who has faced abuse all her/his life may not know what is abuse actually. So I could understand and empathise with Anupama initially but even after seeing their true faces she keeps on running to them as if nothing has happened is what triggers me. And on top of that Anuj behaves the same way now. He is just reduced to a puppy husband of hers. People told to keep patience as this is ITV. How much patience? It is gonna be 9 months now. Now this show is just a comedy for me and I come here to interact with you guys.

Sorry 2 say but i don't like anuj at all saara gussa AB N BB ke liya shahs ka kiya what they do is acceptable 4 anuj

Anuj is anupama male version

Ab in logon ne boundaries ki baat ki toh inki baaton mein nahi aana

Baatien baari baari kaam chote chote

All of us are guilty of expecting feminism from this show but only getting hypocrisy. The show is not about uplifting women, it's only saving people whom Anupamaa likes, irrespective of whether they are right or wrong.


After Anupamaa kick-out scene, I was expecting a revenge track which was cut short by the accident and now things are shown as if nothing happened.


The only thing that can satisfy me right now is a sadistic track where Anupamaa loses Anuj to a long-term coma because she was too busy saving her brat's marriage by fooling his idiotic wife, and Ankush Barkha taking away all the property. If Anuj's money can neither be used for Anupamaa's career growth nor to destroy the Shahs, she is better off on the streets. Any way she gets super uncomfortable in Anuj's fancy kitchen with modern stuff and the Shah house shabby kitchen is all that she needs, so isn't it better the money goes to someone who can actually use it?

MaAn and CA can then shift to Shah house where Anupamaa is back to being the maid and CA is made a permanent doormat by Leela who constantly scolds her and favours KinTosh child for giving food, books or toys while CA yearns for her approval like Anupamaa did when she was her MIL.


After leap they both grow up and fall for the same guy, CA is good and KinTosh child is bad. Kintosh child will be married to another guy who is parallel lead and she will cheat on him with CA's husband.

History repeats itself, CA continues legacy of Anupamaa of being made a doormat and Kintosh child continues legacy of her father and grandfather by cheating on her husband by EMA with CA's husband.


Now we hit rock bottom like level 333 of the Platform. Anything will look better than this then.

@bold this is classic itv problem. the negativity, the atyachar, villain's glorification is show so much that by the time revenge plot arrives most of us have already lost interest and whatever people stick around just dont find it upto the mark. And in this show, we are expecting paapiyo ko unke kiye ki saza milegi ever since anupama's divorce but instead of giving them their karmo ka phal....saare villains ko maaf kiya ja kar ulta glorify kiya ja raha hai.

Same here i binged watched the show and could connect more to anupama. But everything has a limit.

I so much wanted to see Anuj marrying anupama and the way they did, frankly speaking i didn't like it. So much of vanraj but chalo koi nai

And then instead of creating a base for Maan they just brought CA.

The show frankly doesn't make any sense.

Now i wish Anuj should have returned back from this circus of Shah family.
