Dear Friends,
While we must accept change as it is the only constant thing in life, I somehow cannot accept the changes in my once a upon a time favourite serial. Why? for the following reasons;
1) When I started watching KS sometime in 2006 it was a story of 3 ordinary sisters, 3 girls with whom many of us connected. From small town trying to make it big in a city of dreams. In Mumbai, many girls come each year chasing their dreams....in all discipline and fields, be it the showbiz, banking sector, corporate sector, service sector etc., now one the sister who seemed most glamourous and ambitious has vanished, the studious one instead of joining the corporate sector stands like a pillar and the eldest one, with whom we all fell in love ....well what can I say....I will come back to her case later...
2) Had good looking men, Jai, Aditya, Ranveer, Sahil, Tarun, later on AD, Daksh, Moksh and of course our favourite Pushkar, even if they stood like pillar, they were good to watch, they acted well except for Sahil/Daksh/Moksh and AD's irritating hand gestures, the rest did there job well, of course Jai being exceptional....the men now, well I will refrain from commenting as less said the better, what happened to Balaji's talent hunts god only knows, neither looks nor acting is upto the mark...
3) The innocence and the simplicity: The story had a certain innocence, Bani trying hard to maintain the dignity of the family, though I did not agree to her jasoosi and sheilding Jai un-necessarily but she looked innocent, dressed simply and tried to keep everyone happy, at the same time facing problems boldly...that is lost, Bani's keeping secret from Jai has become too much, people who knew did not open their mouth specially Masi and Poorva when Bani was in soup and now Pia inspite of knowing everything has fled the country of 16 years, trying to save her own life and that of her son and ex/or not ex-husband...the simple story has become too complicated...
4) While the show in the past was packaged nicely, showing family and business related problems, problems in relationship, it has now turned into a show of Jai & Bani's bichharna, milna phirse bichhar jana. From where Meera came, why Jai had to marry her, when did he divorce Bani, nothing is clear...on top Meera after killing JB's children, making Bani disappear for 16 years is living 22 years of blissful happy married life...
Now the revenge track has started, showing the children of Jai and Bani and Bani trying to come back to Walia Mansion....why I am not being able to accept this....when I think 16 years a woman has missed out on her children/husband/ life/ memory I feel....O god if this really happened to someone...will that person remain sane? 22 years of happily married life as someone's wife inspite of being a killer, even if Meera is thrown into the dungeons with hungry reptiles, is the punishment worth it...when I see the generation X and think, Bani had no role to play in their bringing up or they were brought up by the killer I think....god spare me....🤢🤢...The videos of this show I still watch repeatedly but the first 6 months or year maximum...inspite of the last thursday episode being good, I did not feel like watching it again, KS is no longer sweet, it has become a bitter pill, too bitter to swallow...
