Why this kolaveri...

Expect this from itv:

1. Nothing ever goes according to your desires, except maybe for a very short time.

2. The leads will go into moron mode and aggravate you to the point of madness.

3. Villains will overhear everything they need to, while the good guys': (a) phones will die at crucial moments; (b) will go deaf; (c) will misunderstand evil for good; (d) will be talked into believing a villainous discussion was not so at all and even apologize to said villains; yada yada yada.

4. When trps fall, a long lost relative will pop up for a bit and eventually disappear.

5. There will be more talk of trust than actual trust shown. Leads will seldom talk about what they should, but jump to exactly the wrong conclusions.

6. Good, happy moments will be few and far between.

7. Love realizations, confessions and consummation will ALWAYS take a ridiculous time, because a large number lose interest once this happens. Unfortunately, Indian cvs don't know that the wait can be entertaining rather than mindblowingly annoying.

8. At some point, amid clamouring for a new male or female lead from an infuriated viewership, an alternative non-love interest will arrive, to invite hate either from being too nice or devious as heck. Second marriages, torture, and such are also possibilities.

9. As soon as the love ishtory begins, cvs get frantic to retain interest, so what follows is more misunderstanding and hurt feelings; MAJOR misunderstanding and separation, usually accompanied by pregnancy and some mindless reason for not informing spouse; meeting after years with cutsie kid and dad finding each other with khoon ka rishta somehow making for irresistible love from both; daddy finds out truth; BIG fight, toxic behaviour, because hey, you hid my kid!; and reconciliation.

10. Rinse and repeat.

It's always going to be this way.

You said it. And yet fans go on fighting picking one side... Jitna khoon jala lo, this is what is going to happen. Not one show has been different in ITV land and yet we fall in trap of the show and then get too involved. So if u wanna watch in spite of the red flags don't keep expectations, bas enjoy karo. Or else Netflix, prime, and other OTT platforms are there to watch realistic series.

Stay calm..

this is why i always keep my expectations low

maybe thats why i m not that disappointed 🤣

i love RaYa 😳❤️

And honestly leads natural acting n chemistry is one reason i m sticking to the show

and honestly for now i still feel this show is better than other ongoing shows

at the same time i wont be surprised if it turns out to be like other ongoing shows too 😆

and not to forget its a balaji show😆(queen of dramatic shows)

I would like to add one more point ...all the beautiful romantic scenes between the leads mostly happens as a dream sequence ...😃

I keep wondering why they dont show misunderstandings as a dream sequence🤣

So true. Basically you summarized the story of every itv show🤣

But I am dheet😈 I have trained my mind to expect nothing from itv show. 😎 and jo wishes nahi puri hoti uske liye forum par aakar ff padh lo😆

True, to add to it, it's Kekta's show. DEFINITELY add extra shaadis.

It is better than other shows, because the leads are generally likable and at least the ML isn't carrying the DamagedThereforeToxic trope. I'm just praying Priya doesn't turn into a sanskaari bahu, because her annoying mother would encourage that ji huzoori to Mommy Dearest Nandini.

I only catch up on weekends, so I have the advantage of knowing what not to watch, thanks to you guys.

Ikr? Why aren't bad things dreams?

Also that thing cvs do where they brush something you want closure on under a giant carpet, never answered, never explained, which irks ocd types like crazy. Myself included. 🤣

My way is selective viewing, and tolerating a little nonsense. If it comes to a point when it becomes indigestible, it's time to say goodbye.
