I have to disagree on Aditya being jerk to zoya...

After zoya tried to commit suicide mind you he tried very hard being nice and sympathetic to zoya, even brought office staff and acted all the way to make her comfortable.
In the end zoya was just running back to mussorie when Aditya had to provoke her to stay and pick herself up.

also if you all remember there was warm welcome to zoya in office also but she didn't even smiled. after all Aditya's efforts failed he had to do what he is doing. he may say its for his entertainment but he hasn't gone lowly as to trouble zoya for no reason. its the only thing that gives the feeling of her being normal.

This I agree with.

Zoya comes to life when provoked.

I definitely wanted her and Noor to talk about getting a place for themselves, as well as least for both Aditya and Zoya to talk about Zosh's name: the fact that it is hurtful to them personally but maybe needs to be kept on for brand identity reasons.

The Hindi serial watching public is not ready for a simple, nuanced storyline. They need OTT drama.

TM pls tell me amongst indian top trp shws which shows story is not all over the place🤣 welcome to the no logic of itv world.. if a show is logical n story is in right place, the show itself gets lost in the place of trps😆 no sensible show can run for long n thats the bitter truth of itv..

Ive said this in another post but they need to get it together and think about the tone of the show. Do they want the intense heartbreaking stuff like the suicide track? Or do they want this nonsense filler nok jhok stuff that is so typical of every couple on desi tv. I wanted some more grounded moments and some more serious moments after Zo's suicide attempt. I would love to see more subtle moments like the radio scene and the curfew episode where AdiYa truly bond in their pain and grief rather than aching like immature children trying to instigate each other
I don't mind Mahi falling for Adi, that one is ok and kinda understandable given the circumstances he saved her. But the whole Zoya being protective of Mahi thinking Adi is the terrible one when she herself has seen how heartless Mahi was (not letting her attend Yash's funeral) that bugs me to the core! I want more intensity and angst between AdiYa, so far this week they haven't even mentioned PoSh's affair or anything when Zoya literally tried to kill herself for him.

The scene where Aditya finds out she's going to Mussuroie and tries to stop her that's the kind of scene we need. Instead of the one we got yesterday about Adi flirting with Mahi and Zo being protective of her (not that I'm ever complaining about seeing a shirtless Harshad )

This week has been the absolute worst so far! Mahi's random crush makes no sense, Adi and Zoya not talking about the suicide attempt/Pooja-Yash affair makes no sense! Instead of discussing things, they are busy doing random nokjhoks that are beyond senseless at this juncture! The divorce and the suicide week were high points but the followup story has regressed to the point where I doubt it's the same show at all! There is no contextual basis for this week! Instead of going ahead with the office-closure track or showing Zoya/Adi bond, they're busy shoving all kinds of random things! This show honestly had no story or concept planned, they are just doing and changing things according to whims and fancies! Such an intense IPK3 dejavu for me! In IPK3 also, there was an intriguing premise planned, but the narrative changed without context every single week so it became impossible to connect to the characters! Now the BP CVs think that a random marriage will help ratings, so they're trying that! Instead of making Aditya and Zoya bond in a deeper level, they're gonna shove in a senseless marriage track now! They literally had no story planned, it's amazing how incompetent they are!

You're so right.

There needs to be continuityyes, tragic intensity needs to be released in a few laughs, but there has to be a connection. The radio scene, for instance, connected a few dots.

The CVs could have maintained a connection by keeping Zoya numb for a while longer: showing instead that she only comes to life to fight against Adi. They needed a deeper scene than the one we got with Madhu: more on how Zo is made to feel responsible for Mahi, and also a discussion between Zo and Madhu about the divorce papers and Zo's suicide.

Where the makers are going wrong is in rushing scenes. Once there's a tension-filled scene like the fight, we needed a slower, deeper scene of how the relationships around Zo are changing: the ones with Madhu, Adi, Mahi. Pacing is not about going fast all the time: give the audience time to bond with the characters don't just skim everywhere.

But this surface treatment is expected: plot, in compelling stories, is the product of characters. In Hindi serials, to stay within acceptable TRPs, they have to make characters the puppets of plot. This is why there's a disconnect with the audience: we're all wondering why characters are doing random things, without any plausible motive. It is because the makers need to make the plot deliver high drama: Indian audiences lap that up.

I so agree with you. Since Zo suicide attempt, the CVs seem lost or unsure in how to take the story forward.

Mahi falling for Adi was so unnecessary. There was no need for her to have a reason as such for revenge cos she has enough reason to hold against Zoya and her hatred cud be enough to ruin whatever Zo loves including Adi (at some point)

Staying with Arora isn't so bad cos end of the day Zo still considers it her in laws place so her place cos they weren't divorced so she is still Yash's widow so she has every right to stay there.

Adi was supposed to be more sympathetic towards Zoya...annoying her and all is so out of context...wudve been nice if they showed them as friends and how they eventually fall for each other and fight out against the taboo's of the world.

Am also not hugely convinced with the current track

Ab there has to b filler epis for serials specially indian serials..

Scattered writing makes it look like a teenage love story. Don't know if it is TRP pressure or something else but it seems this PH once again lied when they said there is a story in place, same as they did in Beyhadh.
