Umm, didn't you get the memo?
You see, apparently, people here know this is a fiction show. They understand the difference between reel and real life. And as long as Anika is abused on clean, white sheets, everything is okay.

I have been called a feminist (which I agree to), an activist (which, unfortunately, I am not), a teacher giving lectures (hopefully, someday.) and a lawyer (how much do they earn?). I have been asked to carry my propaganda elsewhere as this is not the place for 'your self righteous thoughts.' People have also mocked and bullied anybody who has shown that they have working brain cells.

The fact that Anika is being blamed because poor Shivaay baby ka dulhan bhaag gaya is ludicrous. Just because life is shitty to you does not mean that you get to shit on everyone else. Poor Shivaay baby lurves Anika and he's just mad because of Daksh. Um, hello? You are marrying some one else. The fact that she is a gold digging she demon is irrelevant because you don't know about that. If Anika wants to have sex with every Tom, Dick and Harry, what's it to you, bruh? This whole Alpha man tendency of a Harlequin hero gets old really fast.

Don't even get me started on Annika. Since Romi's track has probably ended, she has decided t be the new devi. I am really confused regarding her character graph. Wasn't she the one who had said that she doesn't believe in love and all that love tries to sell in front of Mallika? Now, suddenly, she is the quintessential bollywood 60's ka heroine with sindoor and mangalsutra, which she conveniently decided to not wear during reception because, f**k continuity. It is very surprising to me that she is staying at OM because of Dadi and leaving Sahil alone to Saumya. Does she not understand that this new change in equation, this new earthquake effects him as well? His psyche must also be shaken. He is a kid. He must be confused. But hey, dadi bola bahu, toh bahu. No matter if she gets insulted on a regular basis. Some role model!

I have been screaming myself hoarse that "Life imitates art and vice versa.'
All I get in return are guarantees that no bad effect is going to come because of this track, because we are all prophets of God and can predict the actions of billions of people around the world.

Thank you for making this post! YES👏 TO👏 EVERYTHING👏 YOU👏 WROTE! PREACH GIRL PREACH!!!
I had no idea that murder happened! That is horrifying!
Every Gul show goes the same way. A strong, likable, empowered girl meets a guy (usually rude, grabby, and disrespectful), girl somehow falls for the dude, they somehow get married because of a misunderstanding/majboori and then the girl's self worth is blown to bits. Every single female lead in Gul's shows undergoes a brutal character assassination after marriage, and people EAT IT UP. Apparently they love seeing a strong independent woman fall apart into a weepy complicit shadow of her former self for the sake of izzat/khaandaan/rishtey/parampara/respect to elders or some other feeble excuse. It's pathetic.
But the worst part, the part that really gets under my skin and makes me want to hurl, is the rationalization and defense of blatant abuse and assault. It is absolutely terrifying to see young women accept, defend, and embrace this kind of behavior. Instead of demanding respect and equality in relationships, they approve of and encourage this disgusting abuse. Makes me sick.

bang on post.
im not a regular viewer but my all friends watch the shows so know the story well.
Gul actually know one story. an arrogant monster and bubbly angel. monster even cut down the wings of angel but angel fall in love him and they live together with a little tonned down monster. its her basic plot. all her serials are like fanfictions of one single serial. only background is changed. stry is simply the same and worst thing is the monster is becoming more and more cruel with each passing serial.
what anika is still doing in OM ? even after tia drama? why she is silent and taking taunts from tia and all? urrg.. its not just guls problm.. a big portn of serials are turning like that.. even mahesh bhatts social drama udaan is now showing chakors lob stry with born crimal suraj who slept with her sister, impregnanted her sister then forcefully married her and tried to rape her. 'social drama' aisa hai toh IB kuch bhi nahi
i blame audience for this .. both trp as well as online viewers. they both are accepting these craps. trp viewers ko ek non stop crying, abala naari heroin chahiye and online viewers ko ek drool worthy hero. bus baaki sab chalega

I totally second this. I was so disgusted with the way Shivaay was behaving. I hate the makers for imbibing such horrible values in people. Moreover, Anika was shown to be such a strong girl, so for her to be drawn into such a useless battle is mere nonsense.
With so many horrible things done to her, how can the makers show she will fall for such a person?
all he deserves is 100% HATE😡

I won't say that Shivaay's behavior is justified but think this is the show about , how a grey character turns into a gentle one with love and it might take years for this to happen. He sure has feelings for the lady but still he hasn't completely come out of the Khoon khaandaan shell and once that happens he surely will come out as a gem. Moreover, the misunderstanding created by Daksh about Anika sleeping with him...Of course one can think that how Shivaay can even believe this , but see , love between the two hasn't fully blossomed yet and given a core businessman character like Shivaay , it would be very difficult for him to reach that stage of trusting someone against all odds.
I feel that PH rushed into this marriage track very soon , they should have shown some drama and romance. This track seems so premature to me. I was comparing it with that of Iss Pyar ko kya naam doon and the marriage track seemed little better and the lead characters in that show were given good number of episodes before the marriage was shown and we got to see some nice and intense romance between the two. Wish the same would have happened here.

I somewhat agree with you but I still say that everything he did is so extreme. I cannot imagine how can a girl fall in love with a man who treats her like this.

His character should be extreme, is what I feel otherwise it won't become a good drama and we can't find the show intense...Anika is bearing all this as she is already in love with him. If it was Daksh , she for sure won't sit quite. She can easily go in front of the media to put Shivaay down. One press meet is enough. But she can't do this as no one can react that way to loved ones.
Coming to the point , how she fell in love with this jerk , even I couldn't understand...In fact , in all Gul's shows , I really don't understand how the female lead develops feelings for the male lead after all the insult. I was about to ask the people in this forum what made Anika to fall in love with Shivaay. He compares her with gobar and what not. In real life, we hate to face such kinda people.
People , please enlighten me on this point.

I seriously don't get one thing what is all with the extreme negativity these days in TV shows and not just with ib it is with all the Indian shows this days and sometimes makers tell us and even we see that they are doing this for trp but I don't get it in the past shows without negativity did work very successfully both in online and on TV shows like ek hazaro mein meri behna hai, mile jab him tum , dil mil gaaye , even the vampire show dark love story pyar ki ye ek kahani had very less negativity than the shows of these days all of these shows had good trp these shows were famous both for TV and online and they had huge viewers outside India too I am not from India but I was unable to find someone who watch TV serials but didn't watch these shows those shows not only were famous had very good trp but also gave us stars like sanaya kryastle Vivian karan grover karan tacker arjun bijlani Jennifer wingett none of these famous actors would have come if the storline of those shows were pathetic like these days actors are human they cannot give their fullest if the storyline is pathetic where there is no consistency of characters where they don't have to do anything except crying or in some cases standing like a statue

Nowadays makers are making shows only with negativity without stories thinking or rather say staying in fools paradise they think that negativity can bring trp but in the end they are failing terribly they are failing to bring the trp they so desperately wants, they are failing to give us new stars they are failing to make shows which stays in viewers heart they are failing to make shows which viewers still reapetedly watch online even after five six years has passed since those shows ended

My question is where are these makers where are their shows where are their creativity


Sorry for the rant actually it is a pent up frustration of a long time not just with ib I am trying to watch shows after shows but kept getting blows after blows of disappointment from every single show I try to watch it is after a long time I had hoped something good from a TV serial but got this unexpected huge blow of disappointment on other shows at least the dissapointment wasn't that sudden unexpected and big like the one I got from ib
