It just takes common sense for a character to FATHOM the burden,. Her sister doesn't YET have a job. It is not rocket science to guess how much Dosa corner can earn profit. So where is the money coming from. The writers haven't bothered, Hence, Gauri won't be shown to be asking sensible question.

Anika listening to Chachi ke taunt bhi lame hi lagata hain specially Anika is the only earning members of the family & is keep roof over thr heads...
The version 1 Anika saw to it that Sahil's Bua stayed in the house, yet called out on her selfishness and her nautankis too. There was a time she did not let the aunt in but let her in the vicinity.
Its one thing to be respectful of people, but undeserving people should not be entertained. In a very respectful manner she can reply Sahil's mom that if she so cares for family, she should contribute and not be dependent on her and if she does, then at least claim the respect she deserves.
I said this earlier too in version 1 when it was about SSO forgiving Tej.

@Ganga...
Exactly my point... Anika can be respectful yet she can give it back to Sahil ki mom abt her taunts... Thoda toh spark dikh jata Anika main..

as usual makers are vague / mute mode abt Sahil ke dad & also abt Anika & Gauri ke father...

Well the lines are WRITTEN only na before they are directed/executed? lol so I'll still blame the writing first...those were very poorly and haphazardly written lines, the dialogues lacked impact and that is why the scene fell flat...yes, the scene was still ok upto the phone throwing bit...but after that it totally devolved into randomness with Shivaay throwing out a Maa and tameez comment out of nowhere...after that, nothing made sense...Anika's one token retort also had no real impact cuz it felt like this whole Maa taunt session was thrown in for the sake of a forced "conflict"...make them reference mothers and show that they both react on the topic...doesn't matter if it makes no sense for mothers to be referenced in this scene...lol


Word on the overdose of Shivaay-Prinku scenes...I'm already bored of their bond and the story is predictable anyways...upar se it's not like the actress has some great amount of warmth in her...she has very to the point brother-sister chemistry with NM...Subha was not much of an actress but she had a natural warmth to her as the sister Shivaay doted on.


Yes, this is a major step down from the Monday epi...lol basically only the Monday and Friday epis are good in every week it seems now...last week also was the same story...so now I suppose we aren't going to get anything good before Friday.


It also doesn't help that the supporting storylines and supporting characters are all super blahh right now...their scenes are either super cliched or super repetitive...so the show becomes tougher to watch.



Yeah I agree about the writing of scene. Their confrontation scene did not live up to expectation. Iss sai accha toh redux Ka mandir and chunri scene that, without a saying a single word, Shivika conveyed so many emotions through eyes. Randomness has made the hospital scene to fall flat.

Yeah the conflict looked so forced. Also if they are going to show SSO hating Ani because of Prinku allergy, it will look so lame as Prinku has already made it clear to him that Ani is not at fault. I will blame the lazy writing, if this happens. :/

I'm so done with SSO-Prinku scenes, same old again. I would rather like to see good O'Bros moments which will add something to story. :)

Supporting characters bhi Kuch khaas nahi hai, bus SS Kai chakker mein forcefully unku scene mein daal detain hai. None of them have a personality. Upar sai Ani-Sahil Ka bond bhi khatam kar diya for someone else and super blah new replacement of Daadi is ruining IB for me. I saw a pic of old Daadi back in IB but in that pic, I saw this new Daadi as well. So idk what they will show next. Ugh. 😕

^^^

Also I have failed to understand what SSO meant by this "apna kaam nikalwanai Kai liya Tum nai yeh Prinku ko khillaya Hoga!" . 😕 How will this benifit Anika, infact she needed work and Prinku offered her a job at OM. So why would she ruin things for herself. It makes me think, does writer really review their written dialogues lol.

The circumstances of this Anika are too grave for her to be khidkitod like the original one..this one has a family that relies on her, a wicked chaachi and a monthly rent to be paid..plus a past .
Today when Shivaay walked out crushing her phone, blaming her mom , she couldn't give back much because she was in a guilt state of mind for priyanka plus not aware of the Rage this SSO is
Hope he is not allowed to behave like this again .



And no one's denying that. The point I'm trying to make is about why it has been MADE so by the writers...because this is the exact characterization of every dukhiyari bechaari haalaat ki maari FL on TV...ki her circumstance are so grave, she is struggling, surrounded by evil ppl taunting her and a sad bg score is constantly playing to show how bechaari she is...


My point was that Anika was liked by the audience precisely cuz she was NOT like this...cuz she stood up for herself even in tough circumstances...and this version of Anika is just bujhi hui under the weight of her circumstances so that isn't something I feel connected to or feel interested in watching...and I have some doubts about whether the TRP audience will connect to it ether when they've connected to a spunky, animated Anika for so long .


LOL@ you thinking that Shivaay will not behave like that again...haha oh this was just the beginning...this is what will happen daily now in the name of "dark love story"😆

Agree with everyone on everything that has been said. I, for one am a pakka Trp aunty & did not like the tone & tenor of the redux episodes apart from 1 or 2. My observations so far :-


-Annika & Shivaay could have had a mind blowing passionate love story without having the parental issues as a back drop.
Each in his/her own happy space with respective families. But, that would require some serious story weaving.
-Makers should remember that this not a daily soap starting from day one from scratch, as an Audience we have two years of work stuck in our minds to compare the present scenario/characterizations.
-Also enough with the female leads problematic life & a wicked aunt. We get it!! Nothing new here happens in all soaps. The previous Annika also had truck load of troubles, but the way she dealt with it with her khidkhitodness, spirit for life made it enjoyable to view.Annika is unique with her unique dictionary of words. Period!!
-As Avatarna rightly put it Shivaay should have come across as a person unable to express his emotions and not being unable to HUG, its plain rediculous now! There I said it!!
- Obros had natural chemistry which should have been left untouched. Om & Rudra used to verbalise what Shivaay used to feel & were a sounding board for him. Now along with the bond being killed, Om & Ru are shown only as an annoyance for Shivaay. This is the worst for me to watch more than Annika's issues 😭.The brother sister bond is getting repetitive, basically the same scenes.
-Hopefully they turn around the story soon & bring back the basic essence of all characters. But, right now it looks like we will get on & off a good episode & some brilliant Shivika scenes. All in all Mr.Awasthi's challenge could have been fulfilled without changing the core characteristics of the players of which Shivaay is still not butchered much(writers' favorite).
-Coming to today's episode, well the less said the better!!



Bang on points, Arudra! Thanks for chiming in...you've summarized the issues very well.


I completely agree that Shivika could have had another passionate love story without resorting to these cliched sobby parental back stories...especially when the back stories have been so hurriedly set up as forced conflicts and they are not showing up effectively onscreen...but that would require more finesse than HS can be bothered with in her writing.


I'm just gonna say it upfront...what we are getting right now is a khichdi of HS ki half baked fantasies of some "dark angst' waali story...but she has never managed to write angst well even for original Shivika...lol only thing that carried them through was some strong basic characterization and NM-SC's portrayals...this time HS has even taken away those strong basic characterizations from them and is just letting her "dark angst" fantasies run amok...she can't write darkness well but is fully determined to make Shivika some rondu "Abhi mujh mein kahin" and "Kyun main jaagun" pair...that story is not going to work on Shivika but I guess she doesn't get it😆😆


I don't know what made HS think that taking away Shivika ka basic spark of takkar only is going to make for some kind of effective storyline😕...token arguments of this is "different" are moot...different ka kya koi achaar daalega if it's not effectively written or executed? 😕😆


Another example is Shivaay's hug issues as you guys pointed out...lol it was fine for one scene...but now DAILY showing him being unable to hug just makes for a very awkward forced in trope just to show his supposed "emotional stuntedness"...I feel bad for NM trying to make this work when the writing is so poor.

@ AY- Agree , its hard for the viewers to connect the khidkitod Anika with the dukhiyari bojh ki maari...may be this is the base that they are setting up for dard ka rishta that will buld up between Shivika .
There is a thin line between being rude and abusive .and the different shades of SSO are interesting as well as shocking like one day he couldnt take his eyes off her and the next day all hitting and blaming.

LOL I'm sorry but to me, this is a joke in the name of "dard ka rishta"...Harneet is doing a very poor job of writing the angsty interactions b/w them so the so called dard is coming across as half-baked...they are ok until they are just staring at each other...once they open their mouths, Shivaay gets to do his usual questioning while Anika is either silent or makes one token retort...this level of interaction is not going to build anything substantial b/w them...and there is no sign of anything shifting in their personalities after meeting/interacting with each other...if they aren't going to amount to anything more than a cliched look look staring session love story, then what do I even say...those are a dime a dozen on TV.


Harneet claims Shivika are special, different...but she can't even find a way to make them special in this AU...lol and if ppl point out flaws, she accuses them of expecting the original Shivika...the onus lies on her to still make them compelling without making them a dull pair just to make them different from the original dynamic Shivika...and so far she is not doing a good job.

Honestly, I want to give this reboot a fair chance, but this new Anika's life is tiresome. I'm bored with all the calamities in her life. She has to take care of her family, but when didn't she have a family relying on her? Why did the writers need to make her this miserable? Original Anika had a rough childhood and was abused, but because of the OTT dramatics from the writing I find myself laughing at the scenes instead of feeling bad for the characters. I can think of a million ways to get Anika (gauri, sahil, and chachi) in OM and none of them involving public humiliation from heartless landlady in the rain lol.


If pain is supposed to "connect" them this time around why is it one-sided? Why couldn't Anika have an issue with physical intimacy? Why is she crying on the road in the rain in every episode? You can show resilience without beating down the character every episode. This is bad writing 😆 I was expecting a calmer cool-headed Anika that had her priorities straight and wasn't invested in Shivaay(or his family), but from the segments she is already having feels being in her old room lol. This feels like a angsty teen fanfic with the dark hero and that special girl that heals his pain 😆 She needs to take a minute and think about the story as whole because it's clearly lacking substance.



Kudos to NM and SC for switching gears so quickly. It does feel like they are different people now. It's shame the writing is cliche and predictable.

The only good thing about today's episode was to see the old daadi back. Oh please stop with Annika's troubles. We get it!! Annika has cried enough in these two weeks to last for a whole season. But, got to brace for more, I guess. Looks like the overall story is not yet decided else Om Ru would not have been used as comic relief for half a minute that too 🥱.
