How to derail a love story

I was totally disinterested in this remarriage. I felt they should have done the saat phere and be done with it. But no, we had flimsy recollections of NOT being married properly after fulfilling all post marriage rituals while living together for 6 months and then a Dadi who crawled out of the woodwork to be a wrench in the forced re-nuptials because of Shyam.

The entire love story is derailed because the focus is no longer on the lead jodi's love story. How can one PH manage to do this to their "baby"? Please follow the following steps:

1) Hand over the screenplay of a LOVE STORY to the one writer who cannot write for a couple in love. Conflict, yes. Love, no. Situations that are beyond ridiculous for the kitchen politicking crowd, yes. Emotionally mature, no. Also make sure that said writer has admitted that the one character that floats his boat in the entire story is the two bit villain and makes it well known that getting him back into the story is his singular goal.

2) Make sure that the lead couple who have screamed that they are married from the hilltops for the last 6 months succumb to the pressures of an absentee family member with no clout whatsoever for a remarriage. And for good measure, make absentee family member be manipulated by said villain. (see how important and omnipotent villain is!) *head desk*

3) When you have the female lead finally confess that she loves the male lead, make it seem like an afterthought and make sure to close the episode on the villain. Why? (refer to point 1)

4) While touting a marriage that should have been the culmination of the love story that the audience has waited plus one year for, simply use it as a backdrop to re-introduce said villain, thereby ensuring that any sense of festiveness is sucked out.

5) Make sure that the lead Jodi that has shared amazing chemistry never have a serious conversation or moment alone without the family being on their mind, or in the close vicinity of their private moments. Remember, screenplay writer LOVES conflict. Conflict good, love in a love story so passe. In the process, highlight the other couples love story that has been going on on the sly, even though no one is really too interested.

6) Throw in gratuitous scenes where the male lead acts like a 17 year old patronizing his 15 year old girlfriend. Have them act like they have not been through life and death experiences. Have them hold hands, flick a nose, flick a tear. That should satisfy the 'rabbe ve' quotient. All other hormonal aunties who can't understand the characters getting flipped and diluted, or those who need a little bit more of a relationship actually being shown, use remote as directed, derailing successful.

7) Succumb to the needs of an important side character for extra screen time and becoming a lead. This will particularly help if said lead is the love interest/money honey of the villain. Unbeknownst double dating and Dadi assisted secret rendezvous during LEAD JODI's wedding is guaranteed, thereby conphusing audience as to who is the lead Jodi. Guaranteed, again to suck the living happiness right out of any marriage preps shown. Why? (refer to point 1)

8) And finally, have so many convoluted tracks mismanaged at the same time that the audience feels like they are going in circles but the story hasn't moved.

I expected the remarriage to mean something. And it does but not what I thought. It means that Shyam is on his way. It was supposed to mean that ArHi were becoming one. This show has become just another family drama in the SP line up. They never really understood that the audience for this show didn't tune in for that.

If you disagree that's fine, I am glad you are enjoying. I personally am not and have not been for a very long time now. There are moments that keep me tuned in, but they are few and far between.

EDIT:

Rabba makes "way" for Daiya ho!!!

So this is the love story that we have waited for over a year to unfold - Shyam and anjali's!! One may think that was the zabardast twist! It was never meant to be ArHi...

What an outrage this has been! Fans taken for a ride. Not one milestone moment in this love story has been their own. There is always the daiya sHadOw looming large. And please, if they give us the "drama' excuse...this script fulfills neither.

this screenplay has been the epitome of contradictions -

a) If they rewind and watch the first 6 months - glee knew that khushi/payal had a tenant by the name of shyam that khushi later got engaged to.
b) Glee knew that the reason of khushi's engagement being called off was the that "mangetar" had deceived them.
c) Sabse achche pati was often reported missing when oh! khushi was at RM.

it was bad enough that the mighty ASR missed these details ... but glee thinks it is all a big misunderstanding ...why o why???? because - refer to your point number 1.

d) Arnav knows the above points a through c...
e) Arnav knows shyam kidnapped him...atleast he believes it

and yet there is no attempt to a background check. why o why?? because - refer to your point number 1

f) all the meaningful moments that they have shared in their 6 month contract (which was an afterthought to begin with) are rendered pointless because radha did not have her phere's with krishna!! what a joke! Radha and krishna, even in mythology, had a story that has no resemblance to arhi. But nahin...make the connection so that we can get another character out of nowhere in. why o why?? because refer to your point number 1.

g) save the best for last! Khushi kumari gupta can't-make-up-her-mind-whether-she-is-or-she-is-not raizada! I rest my case. Why o why?? because refer to your point number 1.

The villain lacks purpose -- or are they going to make us wait for another year.
This marriage lacks purpose - a saat phere with "taare hain baraati" would have been so much more meaningful
Akash - poor guy - never had a purpose
Dadi - a forced purpose
Arhi - Lost their purpose somewhere along the SP Ve (read way)
Why o why? because refer to your point number 1.

Sadly, they don't understand the audience that this show caters to. We do hold the power to control what plays on our screen. The numbers have been showing that for the past few weeks. Once they learn to read those numbers, they will teach themselves to write the script. Sadly, once they realize that bit, we won't be around to watch anymore!

BRAVO MOMMA!!!! for saying what you did and providing us the space to!!

Beautiful post Anu 👏 U said it all.

Res... let me get high on kala khatta, then I will be in my rightmind to unres.

EDIT:

Momma... awesome post. Thank you for putting this together, so eloquently. I couldn't agree with you more. 👏

Iss Love story ki toh Garima-Payal ho gayi... thanks to the so-called not-so mysterious, not-so creative writer. (Shams, thanks... I couldn't resist using your line... phull credits to ya)

I still watch scenes from first few months over and over again on YT but haven't seen any of the recent episodes, esp after Shyam was thrown out of the RM when the love story actually took a turn for good. Which makes me think, is there a love story left to tell after the two of them confessed their love for each other? maybe there is not... all we are left with is family drama and that too a poorly written and very poorly executed one.

Re-shaadi was such a flop idea to begin with. On top of that, to have Garima/Shashi missing the majority of the "Rasams" is absurd. Having Khushi plan a date in the midst of the re-shaadi is beyond ridiculous. Having her act like a 9 year old who insists on being a grown-up by trying to order the food is total "head desk" moment. ASR trying to be a baby-sitter is a total " to the concrete wall" moment. If ASR is ek pal mein Shaitan aur ek pal mein Rajkumar... Khushi is ek pal mein ASR ki patni aur Doosri pal mein Mangetar... Ram milaye jodi!

We already know Anjali-Shyam are sneaking out to have secret meetings, what was the point of putting the four of them together in the same freaking restaurant. The only thing I see is the PH saving a buck or two for the set. Whats the point if ASR and Khushi didnt see Shyam or Anjali?? what was the point? The only point that makes sense is that Arnav-Khushi cannot have a date after 14months of rabba-ves without sharing space with the TV's baddest villian and a preggo "LEAD" woman dressed as a dulhan in godhbharayi...
So, like I said... Iss Love story ki toh Garima-Payal ho gayi

The kala khatta wore off. Now I want a one on one with GH to find out how much of kala khatta should I drink to forget last 8-9 months of IPK...

Thanks for the space Momma!🤗

I totally agree with u Momma...all I can see is too many manipulative people taking up a major chunk of the screen time...Everybody has either selective amnesia or total...and as u said...the days I tune in to watch are far spaced too...such a strong start only to wither away later on...

Anu finally got a chance to update. You made an awesome post,👏 IMHO the show derailed when the leads got married back in Feb and now its beyond redemption. I am being pessimistic, have no hope at all, even if the trps increase, I won't know if it because of that scumbag or A and K, also I am not going to be influenced by the trps, if I don't like the track, then I don't like it period. So I do not see this show or its story telling or good tracks ever coming back up again. Off late the focus has been shifted to Mr. and Mrs. Snake's LUB story(really, iss pyaar ko kya naam doon?) that A and K have been completely sidelined. Their marriage track has become the parallel plost where all the rasams are finished in 5 mins but we have Shyamli romancing all over, ewww and yuck! We all wanted a good parallel track with the side characters, never I thought they would make A and K side characters and the side characters as the leads. Why did they do that because writers favorites are Daljeet and Abhas? Whatever DB negotiated she along with Abhas constantly vying for attention destroyed this show with her tantrums and his constant buttering the writers, especially GH. So the leads are Shyam and Anjali and they have the right to have the best date and these 2 have a crappy date? IT was an awful first date of the lead couple even the snakes had a better date than them.😔


So Ved Raj is gone, so Khushi is going further drown the drain, Gul has taken a back seat? so ASR is going down the drain, she has handed over the reins to GH ewww no wonder ASR has been acting all Majnu, love sick puppy which I have been saying since last week, yuck! now I can't relate to him any more either. All left is BISS, watching him on screen makes me happy that's it. I am slowly getting over the show's addiction, will be out of it soon. When they decided to give importance Shyam and Anjali since last few episodes, its clear that A and K are side characters, so is their marriage which was totally not needed except for saat pheres and SR, because they completed the rest of it symbolically long time ago and some rasams after marriage was performed too like Girhpravesh, muh dhikayi.

One min KKG calls herself KKG-SR and the next minute she calls ASR her fiance?????? really, who writes this crappy dialogues to mouth. Why didn't she say to the waiter that I have come here on a date with my husband. Who said husband and wife cannot go on a date, it happens all time in the US, you all know that. What would she have said if the waiter asked what Singh Raizada meant, that is her husband;s sur name who is her fiance now? I can't even fathom this twisted relationship. And ASR whats with his character that they made him oblivious to the surroundings, how did they purposely write for him to miss Shyam also why did they have simultaneously have a date for Mr and Mrs. Snake, what was the purpose, anyway both are going slither and slide away. And the writers are making them do the same things that A and K are doing ewww.

Also my gripe with ASR's character started when they made him dumb he could not find that Shyam kidnapped him, also never bother to investigate the same till date. If he believed Khushi and trusted her when she told everybody that Shyam tried to kill ASR, shouldn't he be more cautious? Just slap him and let him go scot free? As for Khushi anything she does these days is cute, naive innocent, I have been hearing that since the beginning of this show, so where is her character growth, in 14 months Madam has not learnt a single thing period.



Khushi got talli just by drinking kala katta? how? why? somebody please explain this nonsense for me. She got hiccups because she was talli or because she was thirsty. Also ASR mocking Khushi, was completely Barun I did not see ASR in him at all today. It was out and out Barun in the episode today. I do not see original ASR or Khushi's character any more. Also Why didn't we have a drive back home scene? what will happen if they show something like that will Shyam's screen space will be cut down? 😡 I am not in a mood to see back stabbing, lying, whining Anjali cry baby all the time, neither her creepy husband and their cupid Dadi who is the worst Buzurg I have ever seen on TV. That lady is so narrow minded that there must have been no room for her brain to grow or its been empty forever.

Any more I am happy watching the old scenes, Shalu's and Zoha's vms and others too. I don't care what they do and how they take the story forward, will watch it one time everyday because its become a habit and only for Barun's sake. Just like you I want Barun and Sanaya to quit the show.

I can go on and on with my rant but going to stop here. Also read most of the comments here from like minded members, agree with them all.

P.S: Can I slap Anjali, I know she is going to be a mother, but look at things she does ewww back stabbing loser. Also the scene where A and K are talking about paying and are ready to go, look at her expressions and face, how can they make her do that. What kind of character is she? shame to womankind.

Hey Anu, pehchana kaun ? 😆

Totally agree with your post as always..The show is no better than dhokla show these days..Dont know how many brickbats I am going to receive but frankly I dont mind at all if the show ends.If they have nothing to show then yeah they better end it. The scenes are so repetitive..Anjali-Shyam are so boring..Garima and Dadi's luka chupi is cringeworthy if you ask me. I dont whether they can save the show now..They better focus on ArHi..And yes its no longer a love story..Only Gautamji knows what this show is all about right now 😊
