I realised why I'm not looking forward the future track as some people are.
Shiv was principled, idealistic and honest.
But he was also lots of fun, had a great sense of humour, and was often shown to be naughty, which brought in a lot of lightness to the BV tracks.
His recent secret deal with Amol was so good, with father and son, together lighting up the screen.
Shiv and Anandi relationship was watchable precisely because of the combination of deep love, mutual respect, and the sweet, teasing that they brought to their interactions.
Daddu's jokes can be a pain, and nobody else in KB can match the serious-fun combination that Shiv represented. That's what made his character unique. He was earnest but never bored us with this aspect.
Anandi with Shiv was serious when needed and a lot of fun too.. By herself she is too serious, too prone to Mahanta and too tending towards bhashans.
Watching Anandi vary between crying and giving bhashans, cannot possibly be exciting.
Any serial needs the light touch to overcome tedium.
This aspect is totally missing in BH with only DS providing some relief.. But her humour too is getting OTT, and is longer interesting to watch.
I don't look forward to the upcoming tracks -- either in KB or in BH.
