Nandu! Nandu! Nandu!

Few suggestions to whoever is transitioning the show at this point.

1) Nandini is the central character. Not some lame Arya-Maddy tashan which has no sense at all.

2) Give Nandu a voice to express her emotions. She is from one mission to another but there is no reason, emotional connect to her actions.This has nothing to do with Manik but her own self. Grief, desperation, longing and a proper alone moment where no stupid Arya or Maddy be hovering over.

3) This stupid album - if it's a plot device to get the original feb5 then fair enough. But if it's not then for Godsake , not make Nandu create a new feb5. None of feb3 care for music , they all seem to have got something of their own and it was never about music but their friendship. We don't need Nandu to play Nanny to adults who clearly have different aspirations.

4) Navya- This is my biggest problem . Because we love Nandu, we ignore this one ( not that she ain't lame) but she lost Cabir, is a teen mom..I have no idea why they didn't use her to bond with nandu- mutual grief . But what is worse be how they trivilize the teen mom thing. She is using her friends to run the house, she was willing to dump him to a stranger so that she can rush out. It's bizarre and makes a mockery out of everything. Flaunt Feminism might be the "in thing" but snap out.

5) Nandini-Arya are weird . Enough said. They haven't sold me the "whys" and "hows" of it. More like they use this tangible for Arya-Maddy to play Nandu tug-of-war.

6) Ah, and now we have wannabe Manik playing "games" with Nandini because Rishab ke liye. W*F. Rishab was Nandu's tangible, her goal, her connection and way to use that and trivialize another pure connect she had. So as to sell the new "games".

I will never forgive them for using Nandu-Rishab arc to sell a contriving character.

7) Dhruv be one character that was a regular cast member of S1 , he was her friend and though he did take a dick turn but boy has lost 2 of his friends, guilt- emotion. But nah, we will rather sell a half-baked cameo than loop in the old character.Won't it make sense for Nandu to team up with him give how he must be guilty about ManBir.

You see my problem here, Nandu is used to sell so many effed up arcs, characters..I won't mind that coz thats how a serial sells but for heaven sake - LET HER BE, LET HER HAVE A MOMENT OF HER OWN. Let Rishab, Manik-car blast be her journey

. And this stupid feb5 dream thing- GIVE US DEPTH, SHOW US OTHER MEMBERS MISSING FEB5 TOO BECAUSE FOR NOW THIS MAKES NANDU PETULANT AND STUBBORN with no care for their individuality.She is compromised , used up and redundant .

Atleast let Nandini fight for justice for ManBir or Rishab be her own. Don't give her stupid sappy Arya or Maddy to play her off.

P.S. Keep the off-screen shit out of here.

another bang on post dear... 👍🏼

your posts are making me happy at my decision of staying away from S2...

and if ur posts are making me pissed off at the channel and CVs,,, well u can assume how my reaction would be if I actually watch lame S2... 😡

I so so so wish that Nandu goes back to her original self and give a tight punch or should i say handful of punches to channel, PH and of course the new CVs... it will b a treat to watch... then we will party and dance for whole night 🥳... but sigh... dreams to dreams hi rahenge 😭

but u know what this is 'FRAAASHNESS'... The new puppet kathputli Nandu is "FRESH" to watch...🤢🤢🤢

Shoo Away you!! 😆

@Anni- First they compromised her for Arya and now this new chap. Nah, Nandu will remain a blank canvas ,bas. 😊

@BOLD: I really want to know... ye "BRILLIANT" ideas inke dimag me aate kaise hai????????

In S1 u tried to sell Arya-Alya connection by showing a typical scene of confused Alya standing in midway with Dick and Arya on either of the sides... and suddenly Nandu-Arya... 😲

kaise kar lete ho yaar??? infact if i am not wrong he indirectly had once mentioned that Nandini is like soha for him... then ye sudden change kaise???????

CVs...Change the name of the show to "Badalte Rishte" 😆

What bothers me is that Nandu again parenting feb3 without talking, connecting or even trying with them. Are, if Mukti is sensible enough to not go something extreme with her two friends missing , why not talk her issues with them, or Navya- the girl who will understand loss with her. Dhruv- why is he not taking charge of anything now.

Who is this Arya? And How?

What was the purpose of that tashan with Maddy, heck should have focused more on Nandu's monologue, her dilemma , her struggle with Rishab. One Phonecall and she will give up?

Nandini - the female lead who would probably go off as one of the most sorted female leads indian television has ever seen. She was a landmark in her own self. Her grace, her strength, her ideologies, her morals, her words. She believed She hoped. She cried. She smiled. But she was strong because she possessed this balance between her heart and mind her made her the strong individual she was. I had never seen anything like her before. And I will probably never get to witness that sight again.

See, she wasn't a character who needed externals to take her story forward. NEVER. She is capable of making a mark of herself. Be it MaNan, her connect with Navya, Rihabh, chacha-chachi. All you have to do is use her strength, her words and inner thoughts and explore her individualism on a more personal level. Make her talk, cry, SPEAK FOR GODSAKE. Let her vent! Don't hush her. Don't push her around between persons 1, 2 and 3 like she's on some social service trip.Don't numb her of all emotions. She is capable of carrying this whole season on her own for godsake. But at least create the story around her and don't make her run around the rest of the side stories. SHE'S YOUR FEMALE LEAD. Heck, grow some respect for her man.

Her connect with Arya. My issues would have never arisen if I was presented a substantial basis of how these two formed a bond. Why she decided to sought comfort in his friendship rather than with Navya or Fab 3? But when you leave the fans with nothing but a blank canvas and fast-forward the whole story to show him being her personal bodyguard pretty much, we will lose connect and we will demand closure.

My issues with Madhyam don't necessarily lie with him being brought in as a new character. My problem is with how she was played off against him. SHE IS NO GIRL FOR PLOTTING AND PLANNING! She believes in calm and composed actions. She believed in rational thinking. Bets, Tashan and Face-offs aren't Nandini Murthy. They could be Aliya and Mukti but don't EVER try moulding Nandini's character on the basis of such cheap tactics because her ideals and morals have always been poles apart from the other girls of this show. You first show her taking part in some elections that were non-existent, then she was made to play bets with a newbie who was supposedly a character with a variety of "fresh" shades. Yet he is as hollow as he was on day one. There has been no solid character build-up of this guy and for that reason, playing off Nandini's character to carry his story forward adds to the irritation of the fans. There is no need of intense tashans or "games" here. Simple conversations often do the best tricks. And honestly, it is absolutely pathetic if you're going to use her character to support his story if you decide to mute her in front of him altogether. GIVE. HER. WORDS.

Fab 3's game is a whole new story altogether. Their contradiction game is so strong that they themselves be the reason why Fab 5 is in fact breaking apart right now. Heck, they care not a single damn about keeping memories alive because they are all willing to party and chuck their individual tantrums but not focus on keeping their "so-called dream" alive. They loved ManBir like family right? They claim Fab 5 was a dream? That it was Manik's dream? Then why isn't it being kept alive today? Why are they so selfishly engrossed in their own petty acts to even pay attention of what has become of their dream home? They miss no-one. They reminisce nothing. Not once have they talked about this mutual grief they all share. It's always about their inner-pain and hence Nandini must NEVER talk about Fab 5 to them But what about her for godsake?? Why were they so ignorant of her despite she being there for them?? And why is her character being used as the new mother hen now??

She is Nandini Murthy. Oops. WAS. The one who fought for right. NOT the one who was numbed and muted so she be left with nothing to do except for clean other people's mess. She held the potential to be the story. NOT be made the support system to carry other people's story forward. She was supposed to be strong because she had faith, hope and her prayers. NOT because she was good at playing games.

Respect her character's unique virtues and character strengths. Don't fiddle and tarnish them.

The actors can only be as good as the script they are given.

Result - As a viewer I cannot connect with any character onscreen.

I doubt getting back Manik would save this show. I wouldn't be surprised if he too is butchered by this CV like all others have been.
