First time I'm posting in the Crooner, priya, I usually don't enter too many posts on the forum, but I saw your link in the SG Hangout, and I liked your post very much!
For me, I am VERY happy with the way the story is going ever since the ArHi terrace confrontation ... despite the minor lapses in logic here and there, to be expected in a daily soap, but by and large, the cv's have done a great job in keeping the story moving ... and at a very good pace.
I loved the last week's episodes, and frankly, am not really missing Barun very much ... the way the cv's are taking the story, Arnav's absence is perfectly in synch with what is happening ... except for that one phone call, we haven't seen Arnav ... well, we're seeing the story completely from the POV of Khushi at the moment, so HOW can we have Arnav on screen??? Can people stop moaning about missing BS's handsome face and take a look at the events on screen, or is that too much to ask for?
Yes, we need the hero in a love story, and the hero will come back presumable in good time ... and we have some fifty different confirmations about BS returning, so far the only person who has not given the confirmation is the neighbourhood dhobi's donkey ... Plus ASR is MISSING ... not Barun - from your info, Barun is very much on the sets, he's not required on screen so he's probably building his bank or shooting his solo scenes, which will be aired when they fit into the story.
But if you look at the STORY ... which is what I like to do ... I have been predicting events to come as the story unfolds, and so far, they are happening EXACTLY as I predict (or hoped 😉 ) ... down to Khushi getting help from one member of the R family ... and that member being Mami ...
The cv's are taking the track very logically and at a very good pace ... most of the comments from my blog friends on Friday's episode were that it was
fast-paced ... and we were delighted that it was Mami who was Khushi's new ally ... because if you see her character, she was exactly the right person to pick ... and we had predicted this in a major discussion almost three weeks back.
However, if events don't go the way we predict, we try to find some logic in the way they DO unfold ... because at the end of the day, it's the cv's story and not ours ... and they have their own views on the way their story should proceed ... like all of us have ours. The difference being that
they are the creators. We are merely the viewers ... if we like it (or in my case, if I find it logical and entertaining), we stay with it, or else we switch channels. Or we tell them we didn't like it ... well, that they will get from the drop in TRP's and in CM ratings anyway.
As for GH's message ... I do sympathise with the guy to an extent - they produce the equivalent of a two hour movie a week, as he said, they're doing it these days with one of the leads missing ... which means tremendous pressure on the female lead and the rest of the cast, so they HAVE TO HAVE filler scenes with the other cast,... but unfortunately, the parallel love story is tepid and uninteresting ... Well, too bad, we have to live with that and with MM ... Sanaya cannot possibly be on screen day in day out for 22 minutes every single day especially with Barun also missing and unable to take up the slack.
But GH needs to see that there was negative feedback and plenty of it on the dumbing down of Khushi during the GH track and the OTT comedy, which was when the TRP's started dropping ... They did not pay attention to it then ... they lost the wider family audience at that time, but the younger audience stayed put ... now the younger audience has strayed to IPL in its last week, so the fallout became very apparent ...
His frustration has surfaced now, but wrong timing and directed at the wrong people - the ones who have actually stayed with the show the last three weeks and enjoyed the fact that the STORY is finally emerging, the one that was lost for the last two months ...
Phew ... sorry for the long rant!!! Blame it on your post being the first sensible post I have seen today 😃
