Are we gonna ignore the fact these people's educational background is just contradictory to their actions? First off is our ACP Virat Chavan who put a blind eye to the herd of criminals roaming freely in the CN when they should be behind bars for the following criminal charges:
1) Separating two adults who mutually got married to one another.
2) Drugging their daughter, turning her mentally unstable, and locking her in the house for 10 years.
3) Mentally abusing the girl to the point that she is afraid to stay alone in her room.
4) Threatening to harm her and her husband if she ever tries to defy their order.
5) Taking away the girl's infant baby at childbirth and hiding the truth from both the mother and father.
6) Separating and ruining 3 lives in name of "class."
7) Openly admitting to almost all these offenses and still not having a drop of remorse in their eyes.
8) Plotting against reuniting the couple even after all their misdeeds.
9) As per the precap, being violent in front of a mentally ill person and scaring her.
Please add more if I have forgotten any... I was just adding the ones for this track specifically. I was not counting the domestic violence that happens with the bahus in the CN.
Now coming to Dr. Pulkit Despandey and an aspiring medical student, Sai Joshi, who ignored the fact that Devyani is medically unfit and legally ineligible to make decisions for herself. She first needs medical attention to undo the things that have been done to her for a decade. Simply a marriage out of the blue is not the solution. Let's not ignore the fact that she also has an 8-year-old daughter who is unaware of her mother's existence, let alone her state of mind. Is it okay to put Devi through all this mental stress all at once without noting the negative effect it might have on her? However, as it is a tv drama we are all supposed to ignore all these facts and just go with the flow? No logic should be used with such sensitive issues?
This show should be named "Ghum hai ek ke baad ek plotholes mein." I am just appalled at how lightly the makers are tackling such sensitive issues. This show is normalizing domestic, physical, and mental abuse in the name of "it's just a show." Like no, your show is reaching a mass audience and unconsciously spreading wrong messages to them. You are taking away the filter from the eyes of the audience and normalizing all these situations. I can not believe that the writer for this show and Anupama are the same. It can not be true. Although I am not saying Anupama is a perfect show; however, at least there is some kind of redemption in the characters. For example, in the last track, when Kinjal's mom heard about Pakhi's disappearance you could see how quickly she changed from being a vicious lady to a concerned woman out of her maternal instinct. Her viciousness is on one side, but when it comes to sympathizing with a mother she was so apt as she herself knows what a mother would feel at that moment. This is what we mean by layers in a character. This is what we mean when we talk about being a grey character. Meanwhile, in this show, we get constant negativity with no buildup or progress in the characters. The evil is downright evil and is only going further down that path from where there is no scope of redemption.
Well, I had more things to rant about but I will just leave it at that because this show is just going downhill for me. The makers, the directors, and some actors on the show are just taking all the fame for granted. Enjoy the limelight while it lasts, I guess because it won't be on you for much longer.
One more thing I wanna note is that there is a difference in fame and infamy and this show is starting to get the latter.
