Superb superb post. Ty and Ty for the reply
The thing the writer is doing wrong here is neither catering to the fans demands fully nor sticking to her own plot wholly. As in she listens to the fans demands and alters her original plot somewhat (not fully) and the end result is a khichdi no one likes. Absolutely ... there is no justice done here. She is can fulfill fan demand and be a writer - why one or the other ... she is being promoted as a brilliant writer is she not?? So as a brilliant writer do both!!!
Either stick to the original plot or listen to the fans demands completely. Agreed
She gave us a separation, though because it was so abrupt I as a fan couldn't connect. You cant separates couple like Shivika in just an episode. There should have been a slow build up for it, for me as a viewer, as a fan to take it seriously. I agree there as well and that is why I said it was too brutal ... it was like axing your right hand off in one smooth cut. Who does that in an intense and deep relationship like theirs ??
I had expected at least he would drag her to their room, bolt the door and shake her up in his fury, while asking what the heck had gotten into her. Why was she behaving like a monster and ripping his heart out when he was offering love. What had suddenly changed overnight?
But no!!! We want drama and emotions above logic and so we cater to the emotional fans who harp on the 'angst' ShivIka share. But bhai angst bhi logical hona chahiye ki nahi??
lol ... the writer cried when she wrote this and frankly I cried when I watched but not for emotional reasons. I cried because the whole thing was not making sense to me as a writer but again that is me and maybe I expect too much from people who claim to be brilliant writers
But still I accepted it. Maybe its trust issues. Maybe insecurities. Its not a crime to feel such things. We all go through that. The thing that bugs me I the blatant disregard of issues they have as individuals, and as a couple. You are too accommodating and nice 😊
Where is the angst from both their sides? Where is the guilt from Anika's sides? Hurting someone deliberately is painful. Deliberately Hurting someone you love the most must be something more. The despair and helplessness, did we get those things? lol ... separation mein bhi nahi tha aur separation key baad we got FNP games which as a married person defied my logical brain 😆
No! Instead we are getting the now silly nok jhoks, the farak games, the juvenile jealousy games. They are making a mockery of not just their divorce and separation but also their love. When they gave us Divorce, I wanted angst. I wanted desperation. I wanted sheer helplessness from both of them. I wanted connection between them even they are physically apart. Now they are living under the same roof, in the same room even, but i don't feel the connection. lol ... writer brilliant hai ... told you already na??
Her idea of resolving a serious issue like divorce and the whole brutal scene that she wrote with tears in her eyes is playing FNP games, dragging in a psycho to make the ML play the jealous game with the FL and sending the wife, who should be showering her husband with love and attention to heal his broken heart, on a fake date to make him jealous ... I am shaking my head even as I am writing this 😆
The only thing I can hope now is the reunion shouldn't be forced. Then the connection will be lost forever. As I said, others may be rejoicing in her word 'Catharsis' that she tweeted but I am getting a serious case of the hibbie jibbies just thinking about what she has written. I have experienced her 'tears in the eyes' separation and am still reeling form that shock 😆
Also forgot to add,
For the first time I am hating OmRu as Cupids. I dont want them trying to bring them together, forcing them on dates and stuff. Its not a spat, its a separation, a separation that they brought it on themselves. And for how long OmRu will play cupid? Are Shivika some khataara gaadi that they need the external push all the friggin time? Agree again ... they need to talk to Shivvay and reason with him to work on his marriage ... they need to convince him find out what went wrong and salvage it ... etc etc
They also need to encourage Annika to come clean with Shivvay, at least about some of the reasons that caused this marriage to crack (it was Pinky who made it happen but the marriage did have cracks. Not everything is Pinky's doing) ... her insecurities and her doubts about where she stands in his life etc etc
Both need to work at it not just one and they need to do it on their own with a little help and encouragement from OmRu ... it is obvious that the dinner dates are not helping in the least with 1 failed attempt in the bag and the other coming up
I dont want accidental romance and eyelocks. I want heart to heart talks, I want an honest confrontation. And frankly the nok jhoks and fark games are becoming redundant. Its a sad situ when a 33 yr old supposed top businessman and his wife had to resort to such teenage antics. writer is living the teenage dream through ShivIka it seems ... she needs to use RuvYa for that 😉
Maybe its the writer in me, I look for depth and intensity in a couple. And no for me intensity doesn't mean hand twisting and RK poses. I could not agree more ... I cringe watching this mature couple swing from teenagers one day to mature adults the next
I am not satisfied with lollipops. I prefer wholesome balanced meal
