# Devils Den# -A celebration by, of and for Devils - Page 108

@ An:

@Lily: They went back to presenting old romance in new bottle because the office romance -- falling in love gave it the TRPs.

Shali: If these shows stick to content and tell the story without diluting its essence, I believe there is a market for hard-hitting shows, too. I think, the timing may not work in its favour (talking about the obsessive husband show).

Same Pinch 😆😆😆

Sia: Me used to love that show. 😊

About the show with the obsessive husband, I hope they don't show her forgiving the guy and in the end making domestic violence seem acceptable,

I also hope so. They don't turn into another love story because such kind of people often do not change. They go through a cycle.

@shali- Parvarrish is a light show though sometimes those convos b/w children & parents hit a true note coz that's exactly what's happened with me or my parents too😳

I loved that funny line in recent epi where one of the boy says "of course I'll take care of my sisters ,after all they've tied rakhis in return too & no one becomes a brother just by giving 500 bucks on raksha bandhan"😆

@lily201 - I have also saw that epi. it was LOL 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

Exactly. Very, very rarely do they change and especially not if they are in the same relationship.
Even if someone does change, the scars from the relationship make it impossible to move forward.

I've seen women who have tried to make the relationship work and have only put themselves in worse situation. Its not the sort of message you want to send to people.

@Sanju: Hi! 😃

Yes, the best thing about Meera was that she was brought into the whole mess in a very believable way. And I loved her personal conflicts about her feelings for Dev, despite knowing what he had done. See after Dev became good, they made it out to be that he was not a negative, but weak and self-indulgent character who was influenced by NT's scheming ways. Even though it wasn't totally consistent, it was a subtle enough transition from his character in HP that we didn't complain. And the logic came in where we see that he needed a woman to drive him to do bad things and to balance that out he needed a woman to drive him to do good things as well. So essentially they maintained Dev's character as weak and reliant on others for motivation.

I also loved the relationship they later brought in between Meera and Geet, in many ways, Meera being what Geet was trying to become. She was also a real friend for Geet even before she knew her! I love that chocolate scene. 😳

Finally Dev-Meera was so much better than Dev-Nano 🤢 because Meera not only knew all about Dev, but because it was so different from Maan-Geet.

So yes, they changed the show to suit SO's image but in such a smart and creative way that it didn't ruin the flow of the story. That creativity and the drive to work hard and make sure the story flowed was lost with the later writers.

At the very least Ved Raj had Maan tell Annie the truth about Geet and Dev while by the time Mp came along, the original story was forgotten completely.
