I was talking to one of my dear friend just yesterday about KS and Bani's character... Every time a crisis comes her way, which is more than any regular person can handle, she turns into a stone. Her brain freezes and everyone around her spend time in bringing her back.
If we compare, husband cheating on wives - this track has been played on many instances. Take for example Kyunki - Tulsi finds out Mihir cheated - Or Simran of Astitiva - she finds out Abhimanu cheated her - she handled it with such grace and dignity (very realistic)... but she didn't collaps like our Bani rani....
Some of you might come back and argue that the husband's listed above didn't cheat their wives with their wives sister... Well, I have another good example, Justajoo - a Zee drama... Here their is relationship between a Saali and her Jija... Saali knows that she deserves the Ji-ja over her sister and when her sister finds out - she does become a stone like figure, but fights back...
All the mentioned characters are more realistic therefore you can truely feel for them. I feel as though the creatives wanted Bani's character to be the central one, and so they've written up all the griff in her name. But they forget that such character - sooner or later - ends up visiting the mental asylam. No one person is able to handle all this pain (pain of loosing parents, betryal of sister, child lose, hatred of her husband, sick games played by her relatives... well the list just goes on and on)... Of course, if there was a gap between all this instances, it would make sense and I'll be eating up my own words - but all this happens within the 1 year marriage with JW... COME ON!!
Ok... Before all you Bani lovers jump at me and start throwing your punches, think about what I just said, for a moment... ok... now tell me what you really think... đł
