We online audience living in the West have a different perspective ...trust me we will never ever get a Desi show which can be enjoyed for more than three mths .In any relationship one gives more than the other ...I am not saying, Arzoo has to heal Saahir knowing he is a married man who lied to her ...what other options is there for this so called " LOVE STORY ? " I have laundry list of options which will not work with TRP audience We as audience have choices though 😛
Shweta sweetie 🤗 Muahhh back at ya!! 😆
@ bold above, actually there was such a show, my favorite of the four or so shows I've watched so far, Na Bole Tum ... (NBTNMKK) The female lead was a young widow and mother of 2 kids, determined to hold her head up high and make a decent life for her children. Of course she resisted moving on romantically with the male lead, much to the chagrin of some viewers! After all she was a widow and mother ( read: tainted!) being hotly pursued by a young unmarried adorable guy ,she should be eternally grateful and just grab him up with open arms! How dare she ??!! Anyways it was such a great show, delightfully portrayed for about 5 months or so. The hero was so atypical as well, just a treat to watch in action.
Actually I'm feeling kinda jaded about HS at this point. The characterizations and story line are bouncing all over the place. And apart from the manipulation of Arzoo by Alvira, Sahir, Zaki her father and perhaps now her mother (?), I'm coming to the conclusion that perhaps it's WE the viewing audience who have been manipulated all along, from the very start of this show! Maybe this was always an effort to show a polygamous relationship as the main relationship,hence the Muslim backdrop. But to make it more palatable, the first wife is rendered comatose hence shown very little. This allows for the lead couple to interact without too much objection. The lead couple are made to experience intense interactions,then fall in love, and have almost everyone in a frenzy ,clamoring for their marriage. The second marriage will of course be justified by some extreme reason and voila !...before we know it the female lead is firmly ensconced as the second wife of the house. And maybe it doesn't seem so undesirable after all, to most of us who prefer our love stories between a single man and a single woman . If this happens, then IMO we've been played ...hook,line and sinker!! Perhaps this was always the intention of the producers, their answer to portraying a new and different type of love story? Not sure if its been done before, but I don't really like it, and I cringe at the thought of a fully recovered Zeenat making a grand entrance to reclaim first dibs on her husband. Ugh!! Sigh! At least there's Downton Abbey for a few more weeks. Let's see how it all pans out. Cheers!
