At the very onset of the serial, the CVs had established Khushi's character: BubblyHelpful 'I can handle the world' 'I can manage all problems''I can carry the burden of others' 'i will never complain' 'I will never breakdown' 'I will not hold grudges'
'I will do anything for love'
'I will keep a 1000 secrets if it saves someone some trouble'
...Beautiful attributes of a girl of substance, so aptly portrayed by Sanaya.
Days passed into months.
While many of her traits remained the same, CVs have consistently used her the way they have wanted and often butchered her character
Not holding grudges does not mean constant comedy or a feeling of shallowness
Not complaining does not mean she does not deserve to be vindicated for so many sufferings
Being brave does not mean being sudjected to torture time and again
Keeping secrets does not mean falling deeper and deeper into a trap of lies where she is the biggest victim
Handling the world doesn't mean fighting constant battles
Carrying the burden of others doesn't mean she is hurt for that also
Not breaking down doesn't mean pushed to the limits of endurance without any proper healing afterwards...
And this is my pet peeve with the portrayal of her character.
It is a character created by CVs so beautifully, but constantly they use and abuse this character conveniently...
And the worst part is they do not let us feel good on her behalf by giving her half the measure of happiness she deserves.
Recent episodes have been good because she is getting some happiness...
But still it is less compared to the pain she got.
Compare the 'characterless' dialogue to any other scene later. You will feel a sense of incompleteness.
Compare the 'I wish I had never met you' dialogue to the scenes later even the gift scenes.
Compare the Shyam touching her scenes to any scene later
Compare the Mamiji taunt scenes with any scenes later
Compare the Garima and Buaji marriage taunt scenes to any scene later
Nothing done later is ever closing the gap
Of all these characters Arnav has done a good job of trying to make up and being loyal to her
But in times ahead if CVs revert to amnesia
If CVs revert to using and abusing her character with no cinsistency,
If CVs do not give her adequate respect and vindication...
They will again tread the wrong path...
And a lot of audience will feel the gap...
A gap that has defenitely resulted in briging down this show for quite a while...
So while grief for Khushi is not possible to avoid, let the CVs balance it out properly...like they seem to be doing now
