Firstly…its really interesting to see, how everyone (virika fan/not) has found interest in discussing Virikas separation in details nd depth…coz knowing the very understanding bond they have shared It definitely cums as a shock to many.
Secondly….i don't think Virens character has had a turn around. YES he wanted to reveal the truth to everyone in the strt…coz at tht moment all he saw was everyone questioning his wife. But later when he sat with dadaji nd inder chachu he states tht SB will be really hurt after knwing the truth …nd lets not tell her. This happened in 2 epsiodes, if I m not wrong..(don't remember the dates..sorry!)
So if we see…since tht day…till yest..he stood by tht!
Thirdly…Jeevika…well i will be VERRYYY stupid if I try defending her…so I completely gv 65% of her eagerness to telling bua the truth - the demand of the story…nd 35% to the fact tht Swamini insulted Jeevikas upbringing. Swamini is hurt…nd brainwashed..nd a mother who has lost her long-lost-found son. Though I found her reaction OTT..knowing tht Swamini is a character who can say it all with her convictions….!
Coming to the fact of how characters are changed, well I don't think we can name one character in this show, which ha not been ruined….maybe Inder chachu, shlok, kadambari…basically all supporting characters…BUT every main lead character has been ruined, in some aspect or the other.
Maybe ruining a character is what keeps shows like EHM (without story)…going!
It is yet to see, how this track is handled…
