Totally agree with all the writers.

I'm mad 😡 at the script writers and even more mad at myself 😡😡 for wasting so much time on this show. I tolerated all the stupidness from day one only because of Radev but now because of even more stupidness on the writers/creators part, for me, even Radev are losing their charm. The creators have strayed so far off from the original track that they don't know how to get back on track. After the SR ( if it happens) that's it for me. I wanted to see Radev get married and now have their marriage consumated........after that I really don't care anymore.

I agree with you Shadow56...I wanted to see RaDevf married and have a SR. I can stop watching after the SR and imagine the rest of the story in my head the way I want it, or read the FFs on here, or write my own FF. I have been wanting to do write one for a long time and I may just do it. The show has completely lost its charm.

Yes Sandeepa, I'm just going to imagine them living happily ever after 😆.....no amma, no Vishaka, no mrinalini.......3 kids, a dog named Shadow, like mine, and a nice home.

Good post. The story is getting boring now. What happen to their original concept? I feel sorry for the main actors because it seems that they even don't know what creators are doing. Because in an interview, Avinash had said that there will no twists in Malaysia. Avi-Rubi are extremely talented actors. They deserve better. They could have brought the Mr. S track more sensibly rather than just dumbing him in between beautiful moments. There was no need to bring Vivek and Vaishali scenes to instigate Vishaka-Amma. That was completely out of character. Creators: Your story will be more interesting if you bring Vikram back from your memory lane and his relationship to Purohits. Vikram-Vishaka trying to take over RajPurohitship and how would Radhika-Dev fight for their inherit rights (Raj Purohit Position). It is about time that Radhika confesses to their first marriage. Dev will be angry and heartbroken at first, but eventually he will melt down towards Radhika, when he comes to know about what conspire after that wedding and hopefully will be more protective towards Radhika. Creators please keep your own unique original storyline. You started to deviate from that when you brought back Vishaka's character and her loose end plots. It is never too late to bring back your original story that we were so proud to watch.

Yet another problem is the inconsistency in the tracks. At the time of engagement, they brought Vishaka as a star in Vrindavan where everyone was congratulating Shastriji. Vishaka didn't care to even ask for Radhika. Then 15 days later, she was back to attend the wedding and was syrupy sweet. Most of the viewers thought that there is an hidden agenda. Well she did seem to have one with the police and Vikram, but she apparantely had no animosity towards Radhika's wedding to Dev and in fact was supportive. Then few days later, she was mortal enemy of Radhika even though Radhika saved her from death. So, she decided to separate them. Then, the whole hiding in Radhika's place and ruining of Goa trip. Finally, it seemed that Radhika saw Vishaka's true colors and is now becoming strong. But, then they had to ruin our favorite character Dev by giving him that unreasonable guilt trip where he forgave all of Vishaka's transgressions including trying to separate him and Radhika few days ago and was unreasonably hostile to his family (totally unforgiveable for a sensitive character like Dev).

He imposed this girl on his family which was so uncharacteristic. Now, suddenly the police and gundas after Vishaka have vanished and nobody is even asking about Vishaka hiding from them in the first place. From last few days, it is apparent that Vishaka is not even here for the revenge, but is falling for Dev because she thinks he cares for her. Amma as usual is getting on everyone's nerves. Still we thought that Radhika is taking Dev away to take his mind from this stupid guilt and will come back stronger. Now, we have this stalker who is acting so creepy but our main leads are oblivious to it. First they ruined the wedding and now the SR. Why must there be always drama during any main event? Can't they show a beautiful spiritual love story where the physical part is also beautiful rather than filled with unnecessary melodrama.
I am sure that the creepy stranger will suddenly become more normal once he is in India. He will try to pursue Radhika, but not in this stalky manner. Vish will be sugary sweet to Dev and emotionally manipulate him against his own family.
Creatives, please bring back the original writers who started this story and kept it so beautiful for first several months.

Thanks again for elaborating on the inconsistencies, Why. I was willing to forgive and forget when the story took a turn recently in the hopes that maybe after the fire track debacle, the Creatives have taken measures to stabilize the story. I am VERY forgiving if I know that Radhika and Dev remain generally untouched.
I am FULLY AWARE that I am watching a soap and melodrama is the name of the game, but this....? What is this that they are trying to do to the show? It appears so unprofessional and crude. The editing too was so terrible to fit Hiten's track that if the DJ team thinks that bringing some big time name will make diehard Choti Bahu fans and Avinash and Rubina fans appreciate this intrusion during their own much hyped week about the trip and relaxed RaDev, they are so WRONG.
We are mature, well-read and well-educated viewers who were drawn to the uniqueness of the story. We are not gamar and ullu viewership. We write educated, well thought out and expressed analysis and opinions in this forum. We are not a bunch of teeny boppers who constantly fill pages and pages with twitter of how hot one or the other actor looks. If that is the extent to which the the Creatives want to promote the serial, may be it is time to drop Choti Bahu from my list of entertainment. They are welcome to the people who make their TRPs. They deserve them.

Tazzi, I agree with you. I would've preferred the Vikram track to this any day. If it was a matter of actors, they could've hired Hiten to play Vikram. I hope the CVs heed your advice!

Angie, Gardes...you both are absolutely right! Please, I urge you to send a copy of this thread to the CVs. We have to let them know how atrocious this show has become.

I am sick to my stomach that RaDev's SR could happen with this creepy guy standing outside their room. How positively sick is that?!

Thanks, Sandeepa. I will look into my options about forwarding these posts to the Creatives team.
I don't have any problems with Hiten joining CB and I welcome a new face. I don't know anything of the story track to form an opinion but the Creatives have made a hodge-podge of the existing storyline to introduce Hiten Tejwani and I have serious issues about that. I guess they never learn, do they, from past debacles.

Hi gardes, Why and sandeepa...I support your thoughts too. I don't know how can someone act so normally when you see a stranger next to you in your room ( hotel). The least thing you can expect is a room boy in uniform , Gosh..this was too much and not only Radh's reaction, Dev also acted dumb in this situation. Blunder was Radhika's concern on his hand injury. Is she that brave to be so free with a tarnger. I thoguht her charactor was to act in better manner than this.

Only to create tension or surprise they ruined the ghooghant sceane. Did we got surprised or felt calm after seeing Dev's face. No i rather prefer Dev to come with a boyish smile on his face , close the door ( radhika need to remind dev to close it, in a hotel room who will sit with open doors, that also in this particular situation). Felt so bad.
Liked all the surprises, like the way they ate the cake, the rose petal shower and the arrangements of bed. Also i don't mind copying that dress rehersal, because they portraied it so well in MPK, doesn't mean that no one else should show it. It is natural for Dev to to see his wife in different outfit and it is possible at this time only, and he showed good act on the anticipation to see her in that outfit. But i expected him to be near her when she came out with that pink saree, but i will forgive for that , as i liked the him carrying his frustrated wife in his arm, it was some other emotion, as if her legs were tied and she couldn't walk anymore and he understood it silently and helped her back...
But then again they showed that green dress stuff. I know Dev changed his confusion mind when he saw his wife's happiness and wonderment, but then agian not apt for Dev's charactor not questioning it.
Thanks for this thread. And i hope this kind of thoughts can bring back our old story back, atleast keep the charactors on their base.

Thanks for your input, Devika. I have not watched today's show yet but I managed to listen in while working and so I cannot appreciate the SR scene as much as others who have watched the episode. I am sure it was beautiful.
I have just one thing to say and that is that couldn't the Creatives wait until RaDev were back in PB and then introduce the starnger? They shot the scenes and then added Hiten to the cast and reshot some of them again, so the viewer is confused at the hokiness of Sagar Restaurant promotion and part Malaysia scenes and part Mumbai-like scenes and then the room changes every minute and on and on. Do they they think we are that stupid that we don't pick up on a botched job?
Oh well.

I was so glad to read this post, Last week when they introduced the stranger i had started a post naming BAD timing creatives. NO one seemed to be bothered about it. That exactly was my point that when they spent so much money on an out door shoot they should have given us just the HM and SR. Nothing else. The last day of their departure they could have introduced the twist or suspense. I was so disappointed today its not even funny. And not one dialog made sense, not one scene was consistent. I am going to start a post writing all these
Things that did not make sense
1) What was with eating at Sagar restaurant. I know they wanted to give them credit but that was a very bad way of doing it
2) Rads and Dev's conversation in the car, why he did not take her to Sagar. I just did not get it. Was he trying to be funny or was there something missing. His expressions were very confusing
3) Then at the restaurant, Dev insisting Rads to order, If she does not know English then how could she order.
4) Then the female speaking the native language, they should have at least had subtitles what was that??
5) Then the shopping scene...Sari's in that shop... The dress that dev liked was something similar to what Vishakha was wearing during her shoots in Mumbai. For a split sec i thought may be he was looking for someone more like Vish? The concept was fine He wants to see her in western clothes but very poorly shown
6) The hotel was all over the place. Nothing and i mean not one scene was coordinated with the other. Their room was so different when she is putting her sari and the stranger in her room.
7) The dialogs with the stranger...
8) how come Rads was just standing with her back to the guy for so long with out realizing someone was behind her
9) then the room changed completey with stairs in the room?????? what was going on there.
10) How on earth did the stranger see Rads in the Green dress,He was so prompt in calling and letting her know that he knew she would look good in that, was he watching her change?
11) Dev's reaction was shocking...
12) They did not show what was written on the bag....
13) They said his room was right above theirs on the 4th floor and then their room had stairs.. god really are they all even trying to work together
14) Where are the icecream scenes. Did i miss them????
15) where are the dev running behind the train scene???
16) And then suddenly the dev asking for kisses, just did not make any sense...
17) I did not see Rads shoe changing with every scene i am sure that happened but so was her nailpolish.
18) Ghoongat scene was just horrible.
19) the door to the room when Dev opens it to get the cake looked like thier PB main door.
And the starnger everywhere has just ruined the SR for me. I was banking on RADEV dialogs but now they too don't make any sense.
20) the list is endless. Anyway i will put this as another post too so people can add things to it. Creatives I have no idea if you guys make any sense anymore. I sometimes wonder why am i even spending my time on this. I love RADEV and i mean i really love them. i have been with them from the start. I was very very very disappointed with the burning track.. But somehow continued to watch it as i had invested too much time in to them. All thru out in CB land they have made no sense of the medical backing. And i being in that field ignored it thinking i am watching it for RADEV but now they have not been making any sense either. Lets see. I am sure every viewer has a saturation point. ..I will see how long will i last. Last year i was in love after the famous hug scene but now when they are together i am disgusted with this starnger stalking them.

What i feel worst about is that the creatives are just not listening to us. They have stabbed us from the back with the burning track. They raised our hope and trust in Kanha that he would take care of Rads and then burnt her on the one day that was the most precious in her life. And now they are doing it all over again with SR/ HM.....

I should post this before i lose what i have written

Over the last few episodes and after months of the doldrums, we felt the story was going somewhere - Radhika's self-confidence retrieved, Dev learning to be mature and take on RP responsibilities and so on and so forth. Agreed, there were some moments of silliness, like Vishakha and her pregnancy, the miscarriage and the circumstances surrounding the miscarriage, but we forgave the silliness and gave the Creatives team a round of applause for turning Radhika from a lamb to a tigress, taking care of her husband and the PF family.

Then came Goa, and Radhika's confession to Dev and we cheered at the changed Radhika. We raved about it for days. With Dev involved in the miscarriage incidence, the guilt that he was faced with and the resolution that he came up with to make penance was enough to make you feel discombobulated about where the story was headed. But again we reluctantly justified Dev's behavior and nodded at Radhika for finding a solution to make Dev happy. The PF agreed to what Radhika proposed and we went along, in spite of our irritation at the silliness of Vishakha ensconced in the bridal suite. We forgave the Creatives for making us upset because we felt the story would move to the next phase.

Then came Amma to PB and she created scene after scene of discord and bad feelings in the viewing population of the forum and we hated the whole silliness and yet tolerated the scenes thinking this too shall pass. We yet again forgave the Creatives team for a disgusting display of Vishakha and Amma in every frame. Chalo, jaane do! HM SR is just around the corner and we can feel relieved that the (strip) tease that the Creatives have a penchant for is coming to an end with the couple heading to Malaysia and eventual HM and SR!

After a lot of hoopla, the couple reaches Malaysia for their honeymoon and the silliness starts all over again. The inconsistencies begin, the dialogues are pitiful and a menacing "Stranger" is introduced in the most unnecessary and unlikeliest of ways exposing Mrinalini's plan to separate RaDev!

Suddenly the stranger is everywhere the couple goes. And as the couple goes, one minute you feel you are in the streets of Malaysia and the next minute you feel like you are in the streets and shopping malls of Mumbai! The hotel room setting changes from minute to minute, the lobby changes from minute to minute and the stalking stranger is everywhere. Even the scenes are so disjointed and senseless that Radhika's shoes change from one scene to the next. The dialogues are worse than ever! By this time Daadima and Vaishali's attempt to dislodge Amma and Vishakha from the bridal suite fails to bring a cheer any more.

You scratch your head and wonder is this really Choti Bahu that you invested time and energy to watch from the first show onwards and connected with like-minded people on the forum to discuss episodes ad nauseam, forgoing a lot of normal activities of the day to read and respond on the forum? Is this the same story of a simple, abused girl from Vrindavan who finally is blessed with so much because of her inherent goodness? Is this the same story that made you go deep into the archives of the websites to retrieve old episodes that you can still choke up over and get teary-eyed over after watching for the umpteenth time?

Guys, what happened here? Did you lose track of what you started with that attracted the viewers in the first place?

Are you so depleted of creativity after a little over a year that you could not stick to the original concept?

Have you picked people from the streets to run your organization instead of professionals?

Do you watch later to see how terrible the story comes across to us on the other side of the screen?

Do you see how terrible your editing comes across to us, the viewers?

Are you running a street show here that you feel you can air a third-rate episode and an even worse storyline and we as your faithful audience should clap our hands and appreciate it?

Do you feel that throwing in a few RaDev love scenes will make up for the lack of substance in what you are airing?

I think it is about time you go back and look at your own shows and see for yourself how they appear to us. We are not your uneducated, ignorant audience that we will take the crap that you show. We are a discriminating and discerning audience and we know quality when we see it! And what you are showing is insipid at best!

DJ's A Creative Team, you are an aberration to the Choti Bahu concept!

superb Gardes👏👏 after so many months some1"s topic makes me to read several times ,u r a BUTTERCUP ,its seems to me somebody is telling the words what i had been trying to tell always but instead of saying i better prefer to quiet and silent and other hand i was so disgusted about the story line for months that i didn"t even feel like to open CB regular basis ,and didn"t feel like to start a new topic but you have made my day, 100% agree with u ,thank you again😉 i know every story has a ups and down but that much !!!! choti bahu use to be a innocent love story but look at it now ? horrible
