What attracted me to the show was both uniqueness of Omkara and I thought he would get a unique love story. You are talking about the charcater of Gauri-I'm talking about newness. She may be strong, devoted, relegious.. We have seen these characters all our lives.

Her lying to save the day isnt a unique side of character.. it is what most mortals do. I just wish they added something that would set her apart from stereotypes.

I would kindly request the thread maker to edit the post and remove the other characters name.

That is where i think the problem lies. U r not a regular viewer and thus u don't feel connected with omkara's character anymore.

As for gauri's character let's agree to disagree. I find her characterization unique and for u she's a typical heroine.

I may not be a regular viewer, in fact I used to be one at the early stages, but sorry to say never could much connect with Ishana as the CVs failed in the execution. Just because she lied and was greedy maybe but that never made her different because the underlying factor is that she was doing it all for her family which in fact puts her under the regular heroine character. Then after a point stopped watching the shows because i lost interest, now have started to warch again and like i said in one of my earlier posts I started to like Rikara more and more. I actually like Gauri, she maybe a pativrata or a superwoman but then so is Annika. But both of them are by no means a Tulsi or a Parvati. Gauri's resemblance to these characters ends with the fact that she's a good girl, does not have a grey shade will do anything for her husband or family. But the compete essence of her character is totally different from the usual typical heroines at least in my perception. As for Omkara, yeah he's different but I don't think he was changed to fit Gauri's character but more possibility that CVs had no idea how to develop on a character like earlier Om. Now he seems more like confused especially when with Gauri. His friend circle also seem to be filled with fake people he never would have even tolerated earlier.

Well guess the next track will focus on probably educating Gauri. Seemed to me like that, because they probably don't know of any other way to build Or could be to destroy her essence. She does not shy away from lying even if to say she's pregnant or to dress up as Chulbul. She's never forced herself on Om, yeah so she's a pativrata but does not make her clingy, now would like it if she could actually give Om the cold shoulder.

Gauri is the weakest female character in Hindu serials. Absolutely non sense. The character is bringing down Om along with herself. On deserves much better. There is still time to rectify this mistake. I agree with you, if possible Ishana should be brought back. Even Svetlana is better than Gauri.

Its ok to like ishkara more than rikara...but how is svetlana better than gauri???

I liked all the characterisations in IB in the initial episodes,all are unique in their own way,but I actually liked omru's characterisations more than shivaay in initial days,shivay was also nice person but he judged the people based on NKK & misunderstand Anika based on that,but after realising her true nature & after clearing of MU 's like chip issues etc.,he actually came to her house to apologize eventhough forced by his dadi/omru and after that he started liking her & was also giving respect to her,but bcz of his anger issues he was blasting on her at times,but immediately after realising his mistake he always apologised her,and later whatever happened in their story was all manipulated by Tia/Daksh & Other MUs.Their love story had got a beautiful journey eventhough having ups & downs in the middle.CVs only know Mills & boons type of love stories.

I loved the initial characterization of Omkara. The artist, the poet, the introverted and sensitive soul nursing deep wounds in his heart. Then his character was tweaked to an extent to make him the Omkara that he was in DBO. Of course, there were events that led to his alteration and things which made him turn so cynical. It isn't just commitment issue now, I think he has major trust issues. While the idealistic side of him still believes in love, the practical side of him does not want to put faith in something that can hurt someone so deeply. So he is afraid of the very idea of falling in love himself. He feels attracted to Gauri, but he is afraid to admit it to himself which is why he takes one step forward and two steps backwards at this point.

I still have some gaps in understanding the changed Om because I haven't seen all the episodes of DBO and I am still in the process of catching up. The disconnect I am personally feeling with Om at this point is because while I can presume the reasoning behind his actions, I am not seeing his thought process behind it yet. Om's character is still salvageable IMO, if we are given a glimpse of his inner feelings at this stage. I think all of us will connect more once he starts introspecting and opens up more and more to Gauri.

I personally never liked the Ishana. I don't know if it was the characterization or the actresses take on the character, I didn't feel connected to her. Making a character grey doesn't always make it interesting to watch. It takes more than that.

As for Gauri, I adore her. She is spunky, resourceful and at the same time devoted to her husband and in-laws. I see no wrong in that. I understand where her devotion towards her husband comes from. She is a simple, idealistic girl after all and she sees the goodness in Om. She is receiving so much love from the family so why wouldn't she return it? Shrenu does such a superb job playing her.

When it comes to daily soaps, there can only be so many varieties in terms of characterization. I think we have to keep our expectations low, otherwise we are set for disappointment. What really sets apart one character from another is the actor's take on them. With six leads in one show, I am surprised that we are actually seeing some variety.
