I honestly dont know why i am bothering to write this thing when it is quite obvious that the makers of HD dont give a damn about public opinion. I am writing this prolly bcoz thr was a time wen i truly loved HD (the serial) & all its characters. When it had started last November & as the story had gradually unfolded, i had expected the following things to happen, in principle atleast, if not word to word.
- I had always found Indira too very head strong. I found her approach to life theoretical. I had expected that as the serial progresses she turn more practical. she would stop being the 'saari duniya ka bojh hum uthate hai' types coolie & turn into a girl who has learned to value herself. And i had expected Rishi to be the person who makes her realize that she is more than an ATM. she is a beautiful person in her own right. i had wanted, expected Rishis love to bring about a gradual change in Indira. Rishi could have taught her what it is to enjoy life, to laugh once more, to live life rather than just spend each day as it comes. he could have shown her the importance of being practical yet not turning into a stone hearted person. this is my idea of strong woman...who takes pride in being a woman & who can strike a balance between her heart n brains.
- Rishis boyish charm had been wonderful. But that could never mask his irresponsible behavior. While i found his cunning an absolute must when dealing with the likes of Inder n Munna, Rishi could have learned a lot from Indira. He could have learned to be more responsible without turning into a slave to his duties. Indira could have taught him by example that no matter how useless ones family is, they still are our own blood & u cant just run away from them. u have to be with them when they need u.
- InShi could have been a very different pair from the normal, standard couples we see on TV. I would have liked to see Rishi staying on at SN with Indira, but not acting as the ghar jamai. Instead we could have had him saying that though he has become a ghar - jamai its more bcoz he loves his wife & respects her need to support her fly. now that would have been a modern husband. dis is my idea of a strong man ... he who fights for what is right, and the consequences n societal opinions be damned!
- Indira could have been shown a strong woman if she could have shown her fly members the correct path. instead of suffering their julm -o- sitam silently, i would have loved to see her using every trick in the book to make them earn a living. would have loved to see that indira finally manages to make munna, mandira independent...if not thru her love n sacrifice then thru some strict actions!
- Another big track which i had been waiting for was Kutumb getting over her pathetic puppy love for Inder. I never expected her to come forth and say it, but maybe they could have had a track whr she realizes that her husband is a total creep & Indira is totally justified in treating him the way she does. this would have been a great time for mother - daughter bonding
- sunaina was a gem initially...i had expected her to b with indu thru thick n thin. i had expected her to plot n plan wid indu in order to make munna independent.
- i had also expected a few scenes whr ishaan realizes how inshi are not just his aunt n uncle but more like a mother n father for him. ishaan realizing what sort of a father munna is & being ashamed of him...n munna seeing this n resolving to be a better person. a small track...which showed that munna may not care for d world...but his sons opinion mattered a lot to him
- Mandira...especially after the rape track...she could have turned into a really responsible person. wud have luved to see her succeeding in clg n helping indu to take care of SF.
- vidhit...i had sooo very much expected him to be a decent guy who has a degree, a job, some sense & a life of his own!
- another track cud have been jhumpa dumping inder & then inder realizing kutumbs pain
So many expectations, bcoz at the start Ila had promised to be different!
