3/9/2010- Has the show finally lost its soul? - Page 4

Rajsri,

Angie, Banibond .... you ladies bring up excellent points.

Again, I think and hope the story is going in a particular direction ... let us see what happens

On the presumption that dev did cause vish's miscarriage, if I were to put myself in dev's shoes (i usually put myself in rad's shoes - not for the reasons you think 😉 ... but to analyze her problems)

- Dev does something unimaginable ...
- He decides with Rads that he will make it right by bringing the person whom he caused harm home
- Rads panics when she sees everyone agst it and decided to go agst the decision
- Dev's family who knows how much he loves Rads, doubts his motives. Dadi thinks that RP is like a lollipop ... she takes it away from him whenever she thinks he has been bad. Also, publicly they insult him and dadi slaps him. There is no trusting his decision though he is RP and can make decisions for others
- If I were Dev I would be mad at this
- Rads comes back and lets him know that she is his support ...he tells that that's what he needs to get better
- Dev puts up Vish in his room bcos everyone questions where he can put her... he moves to the guestroom and Rads takes care of Vish
- Rads wants to go on a second honeymoon and Dev would like to fulfil her wishes ... but he wants to ensure that vish is fine with him going away

As far as Dev's family is concerned, I think both are equally at fault .. they should trust him more ... and almost seem to have ganged up against him... They refuse to eat breakfast when he comes by, etc ... Telling Vaish that he would cancel the HM if no one could take care of Vish was practical ... he and Rads understand each other and he knows she will understand.

I know that they showed extreme behavior today ... but it was nothing that would cause me to totally question his character or abandon him - are we mad at him bcos he was not excited enough abt the HM ??? or do we doubt that he loves her? both are silly especially after what they have gone through

Again, this is 2 days after the event ... he should snap out of it and make different decisions a few days from now when vish is better.

I would question the creatives for putting Dev in this position ... but I do not think Dev's character was as much of a jerk as he is being made out to be. Again , it has only been 2 days ... he cannot be expected to be jumping with joy at going out with his wife if things are not taken care of at home

Having said all this ... I really hope the outcome is very different

yesterdays episode was again a disappointing one...
i dont know How they are taking Dev's character, i feel so disappointed right now....

and the precap......Is there any reason we should not be sick of it.......
WHAT COULD BE THE POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT GIVEN TO this Evil Atma that she will never even think of any of these inhuman acts that she keeps repeating again and again.....
it was totally disgusted to see amma yesterday.

i will just keep my fingers crossed and say ALL IS WELL for the future track of CB

Rajsri,

I understand your points. I too agree that it would be hard to enjoy your HM when you feel so guilty. But, again he could have told this to Radhika and said that only if Vishaka can take care of herself, he would go. So, until yesterday his behavior was still understandable.

I too agree that slapping a grown person is too much. Vaishali did it and now Dadi has done it. I don't defend their actions, but Dev hasn't done anything to mollify his Dadi either. Dadi is his confidant who has always taken his side. He can still go to her and tell her that the reasons for keeping Vishaka. Dadi would keep quiet as she would understand his guilt. But to expect them to pay for his sins is too much.

I would respect the character more if he had postponed his HM until Vishaka is well enough to move to another place where he can support her. Imagine if the tables were turned. Radhika was married to his brother and then marry him and bring his brother to live with them in their room. How inappropriate is that? It is not his room anymore. It is their room. Even that is understandable as Radhika will never oppose him and infact support him as she herself is so bound by duty.

But his behavior today was very inappropriate. He had asked Vishaka for the permission and got assurance from Mrinalini. Vishaka is not a child who can not take her medicines. He can always instruct the servants to do that too. He did it with Radhika when he left her for Takshak gufa and wasn't expecting to come back. So, first of all he is rude to Dadi that he didn't inform her as she was mad at him. Even if she was mad at him, he could still her his plans. It is hurtful for Dadi to hear it from Mrinalini. Then, he threw a tantrum at Vaishali when Vaishali asked him not to mention Vishaka while talking about happy trip. Why does he expect his family to behave normally with Vishaka? Few days ago, he was so mad at Radhika for even mentioning her name. Then, he left her in Goa alone for more than 24 hours because he found out that she helped Vishaka.

Even if he is mad at his mother, why won't he ask Radhika first before cancelling the trip? All these inconsistencies are driving a lot of viewers nuts. Last year, he wanted Vishaka to tell the truth about Radhika being out late at night (at producer's house) to save her reputation otherwise he would tell the truth to his family. Vishaka lied and made up a story about Radhika that kind of saved both of them. He kept quiet as he was being considerate towards Vishaka too. In the same way, he needs to extend this courtesy to Radhika too. Take care of Vishaka but think about Radhika's feelings too. She was a victim too of Vishaka's games.

I think they want to show Radhika having a baby and that track would only move forward if they show Radhika and Dev sleeping together. So, they threw in a HM to keep their viewership intact and to further their plots where all the players are at PB. So, they will show couple of days of bliss in Radhika and Dev's life and then have some problems in Malaysia. I can tolerate all the tracks (except for burning one) as long as they show that Radhika snapped Dev out of his guilt mode during the HM. Nobody can mop for ever. Eventually, you accept your actions and learn to live with them.

Dev and Rads have a bond that dev and vish can never and will never have. He does make decisions for both of them bcos he knows she will understand ... she knows how much he loves her and puts her above everything else. he does not need to prove it on an everyday basis with her or in every action he takes

Asking her in front of his family if it was okay to cancel the vacationwould look wierd as if he needed her permission. Again, their love is such that they are possibly not the most polite or considerate to each other ... but share a level of understanding that enables them to look past that and know that they will always be there for the other

I am surprised people would advocate that rads leave dev based on his actions today and yesterday ... have his actions in the past not proved that he will do anything for her ... and does he not need her support at this difficult time for him?

. Need to bring a new guy who pays attention to Radhika so that Dev can get jealous and get away from his obsession with Vishaka.

why3 I love this idea of ur's... In fact y get a new guy, the creatives can get back KESHAV itself..... We were nt able to tolerate him earlier but now when RaDev r married, we all will be able to tolerate him easily than tolerate this Idiotic Vish and Amma...
