Dragging the Plot!

I started liking Aashim inspite of being Aham fan... Aashim's voice modulation is good... He looks good in short stubble... But these watchdog type scenes shown repeatedly and his wardrobe is getting me bored...with a background of unending bhaashans..

I was looking forward to some Karn - shone scenes...but none came around till now except that introduction scene

My dearest Debastuti! 🤗

It is wonderful to see you here, kid!

>> Aunty!!😃 So glad to see and talk to you after such a long time 🤗

But I don't agree with the latter part of your post, for I don't see this Karna's obedience to his father, which was standard for those times, as helplessness. In fact it seems to me to be the opposite. He does not feel demeaned by anything his father wants him to do, as he is self-confident enough to carry it off.

He would never argue with his father before outsiders, for that would demean Adhiratha before them. In private would be a different matter, and Karna has always been shown arguing with his foster father in private, inclduing as a teenager when he quits home to go and look for a guru. He defies his father then.

>> Yeah, I know he would never argue with his father in front of outsiders and neither I wanted him to; I only expect that in the Precap part, when in private Adhirath is demanding to have his duties of a son being done, Karna gives some solid reasons. As far Karna's actions and thought-process are concerned, he must has been a rebellious kid from childhood, and the kids start rebellion right from home; so I think its normal for Karna not being a very obedient son of his very common father. I don't know how they will show the conversation of the precap; but I am afraid as in the previous shows they keep on showing Karna's family trying to stop him from being the friend of the 'evil-prince' right from the day Duryadhan made him king and Karna's own ambitions and wishes get suppressed under their logic.😕

I didn't see the first episode so didn't watch his arguments with his father as a teenager. Have to watch then.😃

I think Karna's character is being portrayed nicely in the show so far, but I fear the worst, that he might be shown as a punching-bag after some more episodes and I don't want it. I want a sassy, kingly Karna who was a friend of Duryadhan; not a ping-pong ball swinging between conflicts of rights and wrongs without any self-confidence.😆

These days, the one I like the best in this show is Bhanumati. She is not only very goodlooking, but she also has control and class in every aspect of her demeanour - whether she is calming Arjun and Uruvi down or explaining her actions to Duryodhana - and a mind that is capable of weighing her options practically and settling for the best available under the prevailing paristhithiyaan.

>> 👍🏼 I second you, Aunty. I loved Bhanumati yesterday. She acted like a proper princess with full dignity. The thing I love the most is she was not a hapless feeble crying abla naari even in her sacrifice, but she acted like a queen and handled the situation. She confessed her involvement in Uruvi's escaping so gracefully and convinced Duryadhan to have a new beginning together forgetting and without looking back. This Bhanumati is perfect for handling crazy Duryadhan😆

Bhanumati is one of the most ignored characters in the epics and no TV shows have shown her much till date. I just hope Karn-Sangini breaks this norm and Bhanumati gets enough screen-space. Hope cvs will not forget her.😭

Not like Ms. Leap Before You Look Uruvi, who rushes in where angels fear to tread and closes other folks' options for them.
