This is my first post on Bepannah forum. I have been off lately not been able to be hooked to Hindi Tv shows, but Bepannah has come as a saviour. Now it's all that I want to watch throughout the day and also not having the number of flashy scenes other shows have and the amazing background score is the cherry on the cake.
I haven't written for a while, but finally, I feel I should keep my points out on Bepannah.
Bepannah is definitely the show that breaks out from the regular saas-bahu shows, it stands out for its unique story which hasn't been explored by the Indian television, and the phenomenal acting by Harshad and Jennifer drags you towards the television screens.
Story:
The story is quite mature and has the right amount of complications to hook up any viewer. But what I feel after reading quite a few posts here is many viewers aren't able to grab it's essence (no offence towards anybody, it's just my feeling) it could be due the age factor or maybe because we aren't in the position to think from the point of view of two individuals who have spent their lives together for like five years or so in the marital bond.
A lot of people find it quite unbelievable to know Pooja cheated because Adi was immature and didn't give her and her interest the kind of attention she gave towards him. But trust me, in real life it does happen. I'm not sure how many have read the book Secret Wishlist by Preeti Shenoy or This Love that Feels Right by Ravinder Singh, if you have you then you definitely have the answers for all of Pooja's reasonings. In fact, before I read these book, I too felt alien towards people cheating their spouses. But the way these authors have put down why many people opt for cheating voluntarily or not is an eye-opener, coming back to Bepannah's story, I could relate Pooja's character to the protagonist of these books.
Both the book traces lives of women who are married for five years and plus, but over time they lack the emotional connect towards each other and they involuntarily find love elsewhere. In fact, there were scenes where the girls try explaining to their spouses or talking to them by their husbands are busy in their own sweet world meddling with their work just like what was shown in Bepannah.
I'm not justifying their actions but I'm just stating that people fall out of love in a relationship if they feel to be taken for granted and they miss out the emotional connect with the partner as in Pooja's case.
Hence, I really appreciate Bepannah writers for bringing onto light such sensitive topics were genuinely both the sides of the coin can't be supported or opposed.
Yes, I do agree that Adi has gone with her to see the moon and all, but let's see how the flashbacks are shown.
Coming towards Yash and Zoya's story, much of their relationship dynamics haven't been shown apart from the lovey-dovey beautiful moments that Zoya cherishes nor has Yash's point of view been brought out which I am eagerly waiting for.
But what I feel is Yash was too somewhere down suffocated in the relationship, he too had fallen out of love while running errands to give Zoya a good life. He got between the circle of business and the tensions of Zoya's life that he himself never understood that the love was slowly and steadily missing.
As for Zoya, she believed and was too blinded in her love for Yash that other feelings never found a way. I'm surprised how she doesn't know what his favroutie dish is, yes Yash might have hidden the fact of bankruptcy to keep her happy but not knowing these small things after being together for five years is quite impossible. I would say Zoya was blinded and also the scenes where she is seen quite ignorant about what Yash is talking and falling asleep also adds to this. Maybe the lack of support from Zoya's side might have drawn him towards Pooja (if at all they cheated because I too do not want to see the Arjun- Pooja angle)
And about or leads Zoya and Aditya, they are two souls dealing with their griefs in different ways and trust me the writers according to me have shown us how different people deal with their problems in life and its good thing (though some might not like Adi's aggressiveness).
Aditya, he is not the guy who buys words, actions are important for him. I remember an IV was Harshad went on to detail Adi as someone who understands black and white and not grey which I think is the best way to explain who Aditya is.
And from his point of view he believes giving Zoya pain reduces his, but it's also beautiful to see how his true nature of being someone who cannot cause pain to anybody comes out each and every time. It's beautiful.
As for Zoya, she too is justified to react the way she is now. Because I feel after spending five years of your life together with the love of your life with the amount of Bepannah love she has for him it's close to impractical to believe he could have cheated. She is right in her part to have her rantings about Yash.
Trust me, I live my five years of life with the guy I love immensely and then one day he passes away and people accuse him to have an extra-marital affair, I would choose to believe him and not what I see or what the people are talking.
Also, a very contradicting scene in the show what I really liked is the scene where Bella misunderstands the compromising position of Zoya and Rohan and the way Adi goes explains the whole thing to her. He says "jitna mein zoya ko jaanti hoon, wo aise nahi kar sakti".
And mind you it's the same Adi who blindly believes that Pooja holding Yash's hands is the symbol of an extra-marital affair.
He didn't buy what he saw between Rohan and Zoya and rather believed on the kind of person Zoya is, but why wasn't it there in case of Pooja? When her clearly explained to Bella that all that we see isn't the truth why doesn't he apply the same towards Pooja and Yash's side of the story too? What if what they say isn't the truth?
Yes, it's pretty contradicting of Adi but I really liked it because it shows the amount of unsaid trust he has towards Zoya which he hasn't had for Pooja with whom he has spent half of his life.
That's my analysis of the story. All of you are free to keep your points open and tell me if I'm right or wrong.
But till then enjoy the beautiful cover of Bepannah:
