Why will it lose its flavor for me. Here are my points.
Many a serials, especially the typical Saas Bahu, the heroine always goes through heartache after heartache and end up in the most improbable of situations and utter dialogues no other sane person would say, just so they can use that for misunderstanding.
This serial has shown, through so many characters how different it is from the insipid crap that are the other 99% of the shows. Take Lavanya for example. Look at how they transformed her. In the end I felt she deserved ASR as much as Kushi - at that point.
Take Nani as another example. She tolerates Manorama until the point where she knows she has to step in. Does anyone not notice the brilliance in this character sketch. A Nani, from old world, has all the gumption and intelligence to know just when to strike.
Take Buaji. The way she handled Shyam when she caught him peeping. Many other CVs would have made that character into a villain overnight, as does happen in many serials, and they will show the reason to be something lame like, she doesn't like Kushi anyways as she is adopted. I was amazed yet one more time by the CVs for how well they are deviating from the insipid writing of many shows and one more reason why this serial is such a Gem.
Then how can they use clich dialogues and clich situations to force a hatred track. I am not saying I want everything to be lovey dovey. Far from it. Any story will only shine, when there is a conflict, and there are twists and there are shocks in the road ahead. But if there is hate between Arnav and Kushi, it has to be as reasonable and as befitting as all the characterizations and symbolisms they have showed us, so far. Yes, they have been hinting at Arnav and Kushi's pasts being intertwined. That is a great way to give the story a big bang for a separation track.
Not insipid dialogues like, Why Don't You Leave Anjali.
So I am ASR, and I hear this and I immediately think, oh no, she is after my sister's husband too. What a gold digger she is.
This defies all the logic and I doubt this shows CVs are that dumb (sorry for saying that).
Hey ASR, even if Kushi is a gold digger, she caught the biggest fish. You. You are lattoo over her. You are cleaning up dishes (figuratively even without being asked). So why would she want Shyam, that too a married person and who is not even 10% wealthy as you are.
I am already mad at the CVs for daring to give Kushi absolutely crappy dialogues like "Why don't you leave your wife" no matter what the context.
If they do that, and it becomes the reason for the hate track, I am sorry guys, but one thing is certain.
If they do that, it can only mean, CVs are bowing to the pressure of making the heroine as dumb as any other show and a magnet for all bad things happening to her so she can cry buckets. And what does she do, she forgives everyone, then utters another stupid dialogue which only is heard out of context and the tears cycle starts again. Yet she will keep on loving. Yet she will keep on praying to Devi Mayya that, protect everyone, just torture me.
If they do that, it can only mean, CVs truly have not showed us that ASR is in love with Kushi. He just is mesmerized by her beauty. Nothing more, nothing less.
Because, the only true love they have shown, between a man and woman is that of what Lavanya had for ASR. She did not misunderstand when he called her Kushi. She did not misunderstand him ignoring her. She did not misunderstand him, when he was apologizing to Kushi when she was not even around. Instead, she understood, what was not said, She understood the words, the meanings, the feelings and even the silence. She loved him enough to trust his judgment of falling for Kushi and her judgment of Kushi being the ideal person for ASR, no matter how much she herself loved ASR.
Let us see, if CVs break my faith or keep intact the mastery of their characterizations so far. Don't get me wrong. Separation track is fine. But with the IPKKND style of writing not an Ekta Kapoor style of serials writing (no offense to anyone who likes her serials).
Not that my faith matters that much to anyone. :-)
Do comment my fellow forum IPKKNDs.
