Misti, that would be the best because it justifies her confidence and outspoken behavior. Last time she craved a lot for Devki's approval and Amma's love and that's why both women manipulated her easily. There were some moments in the script that dealt with it, but then they coped out. For example, when she left home in the middle of puja to find Vishaka there was a dilemma between being Dev's wife and being obligated to Shastri family. That time Dev lost as before. But, then afterwards everything was justified in name of Radhika being mahaan and doing it to save family honor.

Here too, they can show that she has come to terms with her mother's nature and sister's jealousy and is not craving to make them happy. Hence she does her duty and work and if it is not sufficient then so be it. They can show this attitude because of father's love. Then her confident nature and fighting for rights would be justified. At least in Dev's house, he is being given some good advice even if it is at hands of Amma. Am not going to comment on the actor playing it as I have the same views as you do about that.

The question is whether they have the maturity to do that. My feeling is that they can write the script but tend to go for melodrama because in their opinion that sells and brings good TRPs.. In other serials too, the main female character is all suffering one. It seems that Indians revel in such characters and I have no idea why. Nobody even in villages keep silent if they are mistreated.

Yes this is what I was talking about.They can show this developement as a track....then they will be able to show the audience the basis of Radhikas characterisation.......differentiate the father here from Shastriji and maybe show the parents and the sisters reasons......it might give a nice framework for Radhika, so that the audience will not be confused. Last time Radhika was pingponged so much that the audience used to get a headache as to who is Radhika. Keep things simple ........messy stuff turn people off.

Hindi GEC usually means high melodrama.......I don't know why this is the case, but it seems that the TRP generating audience in India want to see that when in real life they themselves laugh at all this.

Ahhh so you mean Chalhov that it had an invisible border that needed to be soaked in the magical haldi to get the red border.😉..............did the shayari kabutar babu want the loudspeakers or the panditji himself? Anyway actually I don't want the mangalsutra part and nor the sindoor........but don't know what they are going to show. I will prefer the marriage is kept like this.....it makes it more realistic.



Pundit may have wanted the mantras but Shayari kabutar Babu wanted 25 loudspeakers instead of 21..... the promos showed Kids Dev and radhika playing in the mela when Radhika had sindoor 😕so maybe her kanha locket will fall down while running about ,and Dev will pick and tie it in her neck😉 and the fish mouth pandit will see all and be a witness to this whole incident. or......Maybe promo misinformation magic is starting again.😆

Yes I remember the promo.....but sometimes they don't show what is there in the promo. So if they are forced to accept this marriage, then marriage to Rohan? That will again make it messy. Anyway lets see what track they show.......one that is messy or one that is simple. They have let out so much contradicting news that it is very confusing. I will like no sindoor and magalsutra but if they are planning something else then I will accept that provided it is logical and they stick with their track and do not start ping ponging.

The father part and the situation at home is what is irritating me......it is the same weak father and abuse again and again.If they show his then how will the audience differentiate this show from CB1. Here the father and mother are a bit different............so they should give more emphasis on the difference than on the similarity.

Misti, I too don't want to see the sindoor unless there is a very logical way to do so. This is an accidental marriage by kids that is going to be considered by Radhika as the real one and that gels with your comparison to Parineeta.

But, they are giving such confusing promos and also their synopisis & cast description is very confusing. They synopsis states that their families marry them and that is not how the marriage happened. So, it is contradictory to what is shown in first 4 episodes. Then, it states that Radhika is selected as a bride and the question is will she marry Rohan? Dev's description states that he comes to check Radhika as a bride for Rohan whereas Radhika's states that she marries Rohan and becomes choti bahu and then discovers Dev is her first husband.

My question is that their own synopsis is wrong and the cast description is also contradictory. Aren't they sure of the story from the very first or want people to be very curious as to whether the marriage occurs or not.

Radhika outside the house is fine....Infact I also like Dev....he might be reserved in front of others but is relaxed with Radhika......he has a spark inside him and he knows why the other boy dislikes him...the main issue I have with her characterisation is what is happening in the house ......either show her as someone who knows that her mother is like this and she cannot do anything about it....so she basically does not let her mothers venom effect her and does what she wants to do......they can show this as a her character development over some episodes......or the father puts his foot down.



I loved the conv between Radhika and her Dad.....where she asks why her mother hates her and she loves her sister and brother more than her!!!!!!!.....and Masaram's reply was as sweet as it was...
I think CV's are trying to show Radhika outspoken....
The first Radhika was never expressive about her feeling (atleast till she married Dev).....she never shared anything about her feelings with humans. Though Shastriji was very close to her but she didnt spoke or share anything with him. She always asked Kahna......
But here Radhika knows what she wants, she realizes what she's not getting. She wants to be loved....she's speaking her feelings out....
but being still a kid, her tender feeling gets hurt when her mother screams at her.....
I hope when Radhika grows, she will know how to handle her mother better, instead of crying!!!!!

coming to Dev, first i was thought, Is he the playing the role of Radhika from last season???? when i saw Virat tearing his book and Dev was standing mum for a sec???? why isnt Dev doing anything? cant he stop him?? and see the similarity....V for vishaka and V for Virat........
but then when i saw Dev trying to bang V's head😆 i felt relaxed........Ok, so he knows how to deal with them when they come in his way......
But poor guy when he was asking daima about his parents, i was literally in tears.....

In Parineeta Saratchandra most probably kept it that way because the story was about Lolita and her feelings ...it was about Lolitas first love whom she wholeheartedly accepts and goes against the society to maintain it .........while Shekhar allows his own insecurities and doubts to rule over what his heart is saying to him. ...............and when those insecurities are removed.....the doubts are removed.......he listens to his heart and goes against the family to get Lolita. ...Although the story was the same in both the book and the movie, the treatment was different .....the book is a simple and sweet story, while the movie is over the top and melodramatic.

As for their story.........the PH and Zee might have a broad idea but they are not sure about how to go about the tracks......they are still unsure about the plots. Thats is most probably why all these contradicting articles......they are basically checking the audience reaction to what they have leaked and then might be writing tracks on the basis of that reaction.

There are two interpretations here....I thought that the father said that not everyone will love her...some will and some won't......to not let that effect her.......it does not matter that the mother does not love her......I took it this way so that when Dev as an orphan reacts she can balance that......I mean basically not to let others opinion control his actions.Angake took it as thefather saying that to shower love on the abused and not to pay attention to the abuser ,.......lets see how Radhika takes those words.

Being a kid she wants to be loved and thats natural....but they should show her understanding that just because she wants someone to love her,it does not mean that the person will also love her..........if that person does not then thats ok and just accept it....I would have liked to see Radhikas journey into adulthood.......but that depends on the creatives.But whatever be the case want her to be a strong person when she grows up.

coming to Dev, first i was thought, Is he the playing the role of Radhika from last season???? when i saw Virat tearing his book and Dev was standing mum for a sec???? why isnt Dev doing anything? cant he stop him?? and see the similarity....V for vishaka and V for Virat........

Oh I had a big smile on my face when I saw him picking up that thing to fight back.......it was such a big relief...😆.....he definitely know what is his 😃

Now the new article states that adult Dev and Radhika would be back by early next week. I want to see more of the kids for the time being to show their reaction to the accidental wedding, interaction between kids and so on.

Their marriage will happen accidentally means it will be symbolical...For the kids it will just be a game as they are shown running after each other....Yes both the kids even others kids are also doing good job and should be given more footage while their interactions with other characters..Think PH must be getting good feedback about these kids specially kid Dev and kid Radhika...Even the other kid Virat is good , seen him in Antra....Today was passing through Canought Place N. delhi saw the huge hoarding of CB2.,really have promoted the show in a big way..

I do hope that along with promotions they keep the script also consistent. In one of Rubina's interview she mentioned that they have improved Radhika's character in CB2 based on audience feedback. I hope that they keep in mind that audience also really disliked the script in the second year. They have brought back the original creatives (Shettys) and I believe the script remained consistent while they were there in CB1. Lets see if the PH has learnt their lesson.

As far as kids are concerned, all of them are cute and acting well. Hope their part is not shortened or lengthened just for the sake of ratings.
