Well the writers have never shown rishi get a paycheck, working or paying for the household bills...but they have shown indira or shweta or zara doing these things in certain scenes, so if they want to show that zara/meher was running the house since last 6 months and swetha was doing it for last 8 yrs before that, then its believable.
I dont think at point in time the writers ever made clear that rishi was supporting the family.

I think the writers never meant hd to be a love story, n rishi was meant to be a good hearted but irresponsible husband from start but audience really startes loving inshi n rishi so they wanted to see a love story. So writers tried to give them a love story but then all the other portions of the story went off track to accomodate the love story.
Now writers are trying to go back to the original theme but certain portion of audience wont accept such a portrayal of rishi anymore.

munna is not reliable source.he took so many girls name along with zara on friday's episode .we have seen him ling and exaggerating

Yes shweta and zara has taken some burden but rishi also shown going to court. yes though he was busy with Indira he would have given attention to Indu . This pt is valid.

I have to agree, Surbhi. There is no defense for Rishi for not looking out for his daughter's education. Its a huge, gaping lapse in this character and nothing can be said which will make it right. Its not as though I have never questioned Rishi's actions or motives. But now, I find it deeply frustrating. I'll tell you why.

See, this (as you rightly said) is a show. How a character shapes is in the hands of the writer. The character Rishi has a life of his own, but how flat or rounded he is as a character is in the writer's hands. Characters must grow as the incidents in the story play out. And my main complaint is that there is no growth! Nine years is a long time. Long enough to take a toll on people. Those nine years do not show in anyone. Munna was knitting today! Its frustrating!

You are seeing the show as a reflection of a society in which girls contribute much more than boys. While that is valid, if you look at it purely as a story, I would say that there is stagnation. I cannot relate to the passage of time with zero change. Can you? I find it a sort of burden that they cannot take the story beyond this point. Its like a broken record that refuses to complete the song.

First of all, I'd like to say that who says there is only negativity in this show. Pehle Indira, phir Shweta, then Zara, phir Meher, and now Indira again...long line of tremendous women who keep on supporting all of SN and its nikammas. Duniya mein aise achhe log bhi hote hain. Dammit, mujhe kyon nahin milte aise log jo mera kharcha uthaye aur main ghar main baith kar mauj karu! If anyone knows where I can find people like these, please send me the contact info asap! 🤣

Getting back to the show, I had no problem with Rishi's character being shown somewhat irresponsible pre-leap. After all, that was the main difference between Rishi and Indira. I wouldn't say that Indira was more mature (just going to work and paying the bills does not make you mature), but she was definitely the more "responsible" one. And that was fine. Rishi's spontaneity and free-spirit were contrasted with Indira's more grounded and serious nature and this was quite realistic. They were different- one not better than the other- but just different- with each bringing some good and some bad to the table. While the characters were definitely exaggerated, there was truth and authenticity in both these characters. And maybe I misunderstood the concept of this show, but I thought the idea was to show how these contrasting characters come together and help each other grow and change for the better.

Mujhe sam aur saheb jaise makkari log chahiye Indira k liye so that I can keep Rishi for myself. anyone who loves Rishi, wants Indira to find another suitor.

👏 👏 well said. Perfectly analysed. not only bold but evrything in Para.this is what I wanted to say but not able to pen down Thanks

Post-leap Rishi's character is 10 years older and has a child and I have serious issues believing that he has remained the same thru these 10 years. Yes we have seen him being weary of keeping a job or earning money I suppose, but to not care about sending his own child to school! I'm sorry but this is wholly inconsistent with how his character has been portrayed for the last 18 months. But even if we assume that this is true and Rishi is as irresponsible as they make him out to be, then I have serious issues with Indira. If she is the mature and responsible one, why did she marry Rishi?? She made a choice to marry him when she did. Why the rush to marry?after all she is a girl with a wish somebody shud be there who cares for her and got rishi started loving Rishi inspite of inner warning. rishi took 6 phere jabardati and 7th fera by chance and at that emotinal moment she accepted the marriage that all Furthermore, she made a choice to have a child with this man when she knew quite well that he was irresponsible. Why??This is also an accident just before her death And then, while dying, she roped in another woman to "take care" of this man, and the rest of her nikamma family. Why?? And now that she's back, she continues to make a conscious choice to support all the nikammas in SN. And lets not mention Shweta, Zara, and now Meher- who continue to be part of the same stupidity. I'm sorry but this is not a realistic portrayal of the strong middle class Indian woman, because I refuse to believe that the middle class educated Indian woman is so lacking in brains that she will continue to be part of such a vicious and self-destructive cycle and make conscious choices that re-inforce this cycle- khud hi jung create karna aur khud hi uske bare mein continuously whine karna. This is not in the least bit inspiring. This is just sheer stupidity, nothing else. If this is the whole point of the show, then what is there to watch? The woman keeps working and cribbing about it? If Rishi and the rest of SN have not changed by now after all that has happened, they are unlikely to change now. So what's the point? Indira's life is miserable and so I should feel bad for her everyday? Is that the point? And I should applaud her for making a choice everyday to be part of this self-destructive cycle?

For people who say that HD was never supposed to be a "love story," I really don't understand what the show was supposed to be about then. I agree, maybe it was not meant to be a "traditional, tele, eyelocks, knight-in-shining armor" type lovestory but is that the only lovestory that Indian tele makers know? There is a reason the audience rejected Indira and her "jung" back in the day and the same will happen now. @ bold bold dis agree this time the jung is going to be appreciated http://www.india-forums.com/new_reply_form.asp?TID=3514988

Sahi baat ki hai boss...dil jo chahta hain wo chahta hain...ab wo chahe rapist sam ho ya kidnapper saheb, iss dil ka kya kare. Dil ko ya rapist aur kidnapper ke saath romantic love story chahiye aur agar ye nahin ho sakta to zindagi jung hai zindabaad😆

Waise mujhe ek aur baat nahin samjah aati...since Indira is the responsible, mature, and just one, how come she doesen't get justice for Shweta and Zara? Uska husband aur beti to hain hi bure, but what about her? If she was really the "good" one, she should find Shweta and hand Indu over to her, then she should find Zara and hand Rishi over to her. Zimmerdari se bhi chutkara mil jayega aur justice bhi ho jayega 😆Perfect solution to all of Indira's jung.
