Read updates on the EDT (since I don't watch the episodes), and I have two issues:
1. From a few posts on Annika going mad as per BTS segments, I think thats the upcoming track. This track is similar to Om thinking he was hallucinating over Maya's ghost, and going mad. There Gauri helped him out and discovered that Svetlana was playing him. In this present track, I think Veer (thats the guy right?) is playing Annika, and Shivaay will probably play Gauri's part and figure out the truth.
IB is known for rebooting and repeating tracks, but this track was really lame. It did not help the case of DBO (DBO suffered due to Svetlana), and I really think this would not work for IB either.
They could have focused on other things like Shivaay doing his own independent business, Annika taking up a job again, but well thats water under the bridge. 🥱
2. Second apparently in today's episode (correct me if I am wrong) Tej got some investors to invest in the company, and Pinky said that Shivaay did everything on his own.
Well there are two technical issues with the script. Firstly, getting investors to invest in a business is the whole point of running a business. If investors don't invest, then er, how would companies survive. Thats the basic concept behind start-up companies where entrepreneurs get angel investors to invest in their new idea/company. So, Pinky saying that Shivaay did everything on his own, is kinda stupid, because obviously Shivaay will get investors to invest in the company.
Secondly, since when did Shivaay do anything on his own? Oberoi industries was handed to him on a platter. of course he worked hard to maintain it and make it reach heights, but the actual hardwork was done by Dadaji Oberoi, Tej and Jahnvi, to an extent. So, er is Shivaay really independent? To my knowledge I think only Omkara is the independent brother, who chose art and sells his art independently.
This whole track seems to focus a lot on how Shivaay is the rock without which the Oberoi industries will collapse. But the point is that Tej is also a successful businessman so usne ab tak paapad nahi bele. Will the writers ever move on from the glorification of Shivaay (and thanks to him Annika)?
I won't even comment on other characters, 'cos they are just for elevating Shivika. 🥱
