Worst characters of Indian Television: Neil and Ragini

Case 1: the divorce

Neil:

Past play-boy reputation

Ragini caught him lying about being in a meeting (he was in a room with a female friend)

Ragini:

A bit too hot tempered - could have tried to stay calm while explaining exactly what was on her mind instead of accusing in an offensive manner

Overall:

Neil just had to get a DNA test done and problem solved but he was too egoistic and decided it was better to ruin his life and the life of his children because his wife didn't trust him

If you are caught in a room with a female friend when you're supposed to be in a "meeting" and then come home a few days later with a child, any human being in the world will doubt your sincerity - IT IS NATURAL especially given his past reputation (Ragini's emotions actually have a biological background here!)

Case 2: Arav

SRagini is strict but that kept Arav out of trouble for many years - she knows her son better than the father and has rules placed accordingly (didn't give him as much freedom because she knew what mess he'd get into)

o But perhaps she needed to give him a bit of breathing space

However, once Arav got into his mess with the shooting, the girl dying, etc. Instead of fighting with her husband, Ragini should have thought about her son

The fact that Neil kept it a secret from Ragini until the situation blew up is a negative there shouldn't be such secrets between partners (secrets always lead to misunderstanding and distrust)

o If you keep such serious secrets from others, don't blindly expect them to show trust in you

Case 3: Pam and RK

Ragini is too interfering in other people's business

However, in her defence, she didn't think Pam was planning to get married anytime in the near future and probably didn't want RK to ruin his life waiting for her - but yeah, shouldn't have interfered

Case 4: Nishi is a mess

Whose fault is it?

Ragini: apparently Ragini is a messed up mom and its because of the values she passed down to her daughter (isn't that a bit extreme?)

o OR: Nishi was too young for marriage as Ragini suggested which is probably one of the reasons (besides a career) that Ragini believed Nishi wasn't ready for marriage

Neil: He didn't want Ragini to ruin his daughter's life - wanted to let Nishi have freedom, happiness, etc

o Was thinking from the point of view of a doting father

o However, he should consider his spouse's reasons for refusal more seriously instead of always seeing her in a negative light

ITNA KARO NA MUJHA PYAAR OVERALL

I initially liked Neil and thought Ragini was at fault most of the time

However, then I started believing they are both equally at fault for different reasons - its just that Ragini's point of view is not properly understood

But, due to the immense hatred towards Ragini, by everyone (almost), she has stared to believe that she is the one who has to change completely

o That is totally wrong

o She has faults, but has many positive points too (which no one is willing to see), and EVERYTHING is not her fault

******** Note: I haven't watched the show for a while, so I wrote this without any knowledge of recent episodes************** And what's written is my personal opinion -- not trying to enforce views on others

Agree with most of your points! Neil has turned out to be an MCP! And Ragini is an enabler...someone who allows everyone else to bash and abuse her...its quite ridiculous really! 😆

Well said.
I am tired of the fact that everything is Ragini's fault ... it's a impossible concept actually.

I agree with most of your views. I still feel Ragini is at fault as she does not give any one a chance to talk neither believes them except Dr aman. So why the partiality. I definitely want to see a change in her.

Good analysis ..
NB should do such 'case study' before giving life to her characters and her Story .. It would be much much better, then ..

Me too.
I was hoping that Neil will go away to US with kids and then kids will miss Ragini and will understand her impotence in their life.
