Is Ridhima's character lost?

It most certainly is. Not just Ridhima's character but every other character on the show is lost too. And the reason they are lost is because all the chracterizations are incomplete. An individual is always multi faceted, a personality has many hues, a person has many relationships and all of those together make a character. However DMG has decided that they just need to focus on a single aspect of each character,
So currently they are focussed on -
R is A's love interest and her job on the show is to make A's life oscillate between hell and heaven.
A is stuck with a "I am not serious about anything in life" attitude and all I do all day is try to make my GF happy.
Atul is stuck mouthing bathroom jokes, talking to his plants and being champu
Shub is stuck with the thought "I am a senior doctor". Apparently the great surgeon can no longer carry more than that thought in his head.
Kirti is stuck between oscillating as hitler or sexy siren.. depending on which side of the bed she got off that morning.
etc etc etc
Even if the show wants to focus on just the "dill mill gayye" aspect, they have to understand that to even make the love lives interesting it is necessary to show a wholesome character... because even our love lives and how we act in them are a reflection of everything else that goes on in our lives.
When the show started out they paid attention to details. There were strokes, some bold some subtle, but together they painted a picture. The nuances are all gone now -
Where is the R who was health conscious enough to jog every morning?
Where is the R that loved spending time with her dad.... now she has a mom and there is no realtionship?
where is the rivalry between the sisters?
And the medical aspirations are of course completely missing.
Where is the A who coached young kids in BB?
Where is the A who was dead serious about his career, his reputation...even if he was not serious about anything else in life.
Where is the Atul who attended conferences on the environment, who stood outside the AIDS ward rembering his dead father?
It is bad enough that all the characters have become so monochormatic but R's case is worse because she comes across as a different shade in each episode. She was uncomfortable in the short dress on the jail date and kept asking A if she looked all right. Yet when she was wearing a swim suit she was completely non-chalant about it. She was ready to kiss him on the first BB date itself and then again after the first confession, yet now when she is sure and all, in the sonpur shack she is like talk to the hand mister! etc etc etc.
I no longer know what defines R, what are her defining traits and characteristics other than the great fact that she is in love. Everything about her is unpredictable and out of the blue..... Nothing ever suggests what has made her take a certain decision, or act in a certain way. I guess "she is in love" is supposed to explain everything.
Blah!
Sorry for the long rant... but this show has dissappointed me a lot.
Note - I would just like to say that the degenration of the show started way back.. somewhere around the kasauli days and has been going downhill since then. There is so much angst now becuse it has reached an unbearable point now. It has nothing to do with the actors ... its the story writers and creatives who are not doing their job.



mwahhhh

I pray and hope that this topic is not trashed or locked up because I am not here to discuss the actors here, but the character. I was always a Riddhima fan when the show started. It was more like Riddhima and Karan combo..

Now, I agree with you Kanak, Ridz's character was lost when Shilpa was playing it too , such as the Zara Zara dance, ( though it was done very nice, I could never imagine Ridz doing it). I feel from the first episode to the middle of nov, before she found that she was adopted, that was the major picturization whereost it's the characters it;s entire shell away. After she found she was adopted, we lost the major chunk of Riddhima's character...

So yeah, from november to I would say about Dec, they messed up Riddhima's character. From Jan to May, they tried to bring herback, But I personally feel from Aug to Nov, There was the real character and soul. Then it was like, JEEZ, Is this Riddhima?😲 Then they tried straighting her out and NOW, they lost the character somewhere

Can you guys avoid Shilpa and Sukrti here?

This is not about how rozy the show and character was while Shilpa was there and Suks ruined it..

Get it straight, we are discussing the CHARACTER of Riddhima Shashank Gupta, not who plays it..

Even if Shilpa plays it again, or if someone else plays it, I will still point fingers at the charracter because they have destroyed it. Firstly, Riddhima was a character that stood out in the crowd but now she is just lost in the crowd..

Can we stick to Riddhima please and not the actors that played them

Ok Kanak..now some rantings in foorsat..in this show except nana no character has managed to hold its initial traits...Nana is still there singing Kadhi Shambar Ek...Kadhi Shambr dhon...and doing naagin dance🤣

Leave alone characters there were some beautiful relationships developed as well one example is Shanshank-Armaan relationship..I loved to watch their interactions..look at it now...

Riddhima was one of the most beautiful character concieved...it was so real with its blacks..whites..and greys..armaan was straight of fairytale books..too perfect to be real...
For me both Armaan-Riddhima characters went to the gutter in the rape prank episode...Riddhima for playing that prank and Armaan for retaliating by threatening to rape her...armaan survived that low bcos of armania...Ridz wasnt that lucky there...the character could never redeem fully after that I must say..believe me nor has armaans but KSG mania covered up for it...
Jan was a good month for Armaan-Riddhima with that unforgetable confession scene and the courtship that followed..with Saps wedding being the peak of AR romance..and of course that mini skirt scene..beautiful and tasteful...😉

And right now this show is nothing but exhibhition of KSG,just riding on his popularity...just put together random scenes and strip KSG..if u need tension for the weekend hit KSG on the head and make him bleed and end the thursday epi..viewers all will be having sleepless weekend nights thinking will he be OK..🤣...

Sorry to say this, KSG was a boon to this show..but his popularity has become a bane to this show...😛 now.(OOOpppps I said it...but what the heck...its god damn truth)

This show was one of the top 25 shows in TV between Oct2007 till Feb2007...since then it has been one big downhill slide..now its not even in the top 100...the exit of sapna changed something yaar definitely..once the old gang broke up it was never the same anymore..
I guess i need to sleep now..patha nahi kya kya bakh doonga..neend mein...

No, I dont think shes lost at all!

She's evolved and grown... 😳 Why doubt her capabilities as a doctor? Even today, she advises Armaan to concentrate on his work. I honestly think that today Riddhima is at her most sane/human/lovable level... Finally she is treating Armaan like a human being and not someone below her, she no longer makes him feel/look worthless, and for that I really love her. She's finally learnt how to love & I have finally fallen in love with the character who used to earlier chew at my head😆

oye preeti teer nishaane pe laga hai
lol!
i completely aggree wid each n every word u have ritten
luv sonia

it's not jus u who is missing the ambitious Ridz...........i'am missing it 2
she was so so studious in everythin but i guess she is jus studious in her love and nothin else..i dunno y are the creatives focusing extra-ordinary on AR ...THEY SHOULD show some cases 2 ..keerti has given armaan a duty and he is roaming here n there plus interns have to be with their residents or senior docs in operations as they guide them and the interns note down the points ! dunno whr the show is goin?! Ridz toh change hogaye lekan uska charac toh nahi change karna tha..jus for trps the creatives are doing this ...DMG has changed ..for some it's changed for better and for some not so everyone have their diff opinions so for me dmg has changed for no good ..it's not the same old Dmg which used 2 be of some sense and logic and RIDZ charac has changed to extreme!Nice topic! no offence 2 anyone!

I agree Sid... It has been lost long ago.. Millions of relationships have changed.. The Riddhima-Shaks relationship, The Paddy-Ridz's relationship..

The whole outer world and inner world of Riddhima has changed.
