What.on.earth??
My mother used to watch BV since when Anandi was small...I began watching around Gauri time (before Shiv entered the show). First of all, I felt that Anandi's death was one of the biggest letdowns to me as a viewer because her life basically ended in the most tragic way possible...she lost her childhood, she lost her adolescence, she found a good man and lost him, lost her daughter for ages, and finally when she was reunited, she lost her life. Seriously??
As if that wasn't enough, somehow it made sense to the show to throw the children into strange positions (somehow 13 year olds can get separated) to begin the show. As a viewer, I was under the impression that they would show Nandini overcoming what her mother couldn't achieve by becoming a doctor, saving lives, having a proper romance with a proper guy and so on. This show basically backtracked on everything they had done for the past 7-8 years in a few months...
I stopped watching one week after leap because I wasn't interested in love triangles. But now it's gone into some regressive plotline where Kundan has gotten his stepson to marry his ex-wife because somehow, that revenge plot made sense to the CVs
As an ex-viewer, I find it sad that such a great show that had good potential imploded so badly and frankly speaking, I don't see it continuing for much longer. Please spare us the torture and make a good judgement call on the direction of the show.
