No, he didn't deserve the first part where little KS walks past him. That was miserifying. But I really can't blame little KS. She was very bleary-eyed, recovering from a near-death experience. And who asked AK to be wearing a dark t-shirt and trousers, and have grime all over his face. Hell! Even I could barely make him out against the containers. In contrast, there was Saint Prithvi dressed in white and framed in the light, behind him. I seriously think she just didn't see him.
But he deserved Prithvi flaming him. There I said it.
A month ago, when I looked around at the serial and wondered who would be ANY kind of competition for our cocksure-I'm-the-best Mr. Khanna, the only other candidate that I could come up with was the other Mr. Khanna (Karthik). Yesterday, Prithvi entered the competition.
Yeah, yeah, I _know_ that KYPH is all about AK and KS and they will have the best fleshed out characters. But after every little taunt that AK threw at KS in his hate-fest, and KS said yes to the GnarlyGnome, we have to have VERY strong medicine to break the mess that they have made together. Since they are such strong, focussed brats!, the cure will have to come from outside of our duo. Either you will have to get new characters into the play, or old characters have to stand up and fight.
So far, Prithvi has been the equivalent of a human-drama garbage can! Every piece of emotional junk has been dumped at him. People who like the Prithvi character, hated my calling him Gnarly Gnome in my episode-tellings. But it is only because he came out looking like one! Short, squat, unable to reach up to the personalities of AK and KS. Now he's a Fierce Fiance, Real Man, Pushin-a-fist-in-other-people's-faces Prithvi.
I keep seeing "Negative" all over the postings - where has he done wrong? He has stood up for KS, protected her against EVERYONE - in short, doing everything that this forum would've wanted AK to do for KS and DIDN'T. Prithvi's becoming real competition and we are getting seriously scared that KS will see that. After all, here at the Forum, we're seeing it and apparently getting terribly worried that Gnarly's gonna win. :-) Have faith, people! AK&KS are inevitable.
The other thing I keep seeing is "she should go to him" - WHY?? Why is it perpetually the woman who runs to the guy, despite his having been such a RETARD about his emotions and who was LOUD and PUSHY with his mental deficiencies earlier?? When AK was hurt, he could've just sat quietly in a corner and drunk himself into a hospital with liver damage. But no, he HAD to leave his brain at home, go out and twist KS' love without questions asked or answered. He was a moron, and unlike the olden days, where one of the people in a relationship had to back down and it was always the woman, this one is hopefullly not going to be about the woman backing down. I'm sick of Hindi movies and Hindi serials perpetually making the woman backdown - let the guy do it for a change. ANd where better than in a serial with a large number of women in the writing team. You GO, girls! :-)
You know, I despise angry AK, I hate crying AK, the lovey-dovey AK is cute but so are a thousand other dudes.
I think the best AK is the guy who's thinking and scheming and faking it (like in the lift), where he's cracking a problem to get what he wants in life. I think I want intelligent AK to stand up and figure how he is going to get KS back. I want KS to stand back and watch from the sidelines, ready to leap into his arms when he does it, because he will then have demonstrated that he really DOES want her back. I'm only miserable that they made KS involve Prithvi - maybe there was no other wayto get AK off his sorry ass other than real man competition?
I don't know what's going to happen next, and I've been taught not to make any wild schemes about it either :-) I think KYPH writers are doing a nice job of telling a story. So I'm going to watch until the very last frame when (I hope)
AK bends KS over his arm and kisses her. Sigh. Does Indian TV show a kiss at all? No? Ah, what a pity... :-)

(BTW, I've got on my flame-retardant, Abrahms-tank-armour-plating-in-duplicate-f ull-body-suit. And underneath it all, I'm wearing a t-shirt that says "The only truth is AK&KS forever." So I must warn you, you can't kill me except if you throw me into an open pit and cover me with mud in which case, I think I'll suffocate and that beautiful t-shirt is lost forever. :-)
BTW, we seriously need a forum t-shirt design. There are so many excellent designers here. Let's have a competition and select two designs for the shirt. Then we can create one ourselves. That way, while zipping through life, we see the KYPH design somewhere, we can recognise each other! )
