Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon 140/141/142 - Page 4

Sorry to interrupt guys...but just a thought...Are you truly analyzing the Tulsis and Prernas of Ekta land?? Are they even worth that much amount of thought?

I agree with both of you in that the grey characters are what makes for interesting viewing...for me this would be UD and Angie in particular...but characters like Tulsi and Prerna are beyond any analyis, in my opinion...They've been so convoluted over the years with the multiple leaps and the terrible storylines...that just hearing their names gives me a headache 😆

Which is why I am truly thankful that a show like DMG currently exists on TV that doesn't make me want to pull my hair out with frustration over the totally ridiculous/borderline psycho behavior of it's lead characters 😕 😆 😆...Yeah, Ridz is really annoying in general in DMG...but that still doesn't frustrate me as much as a lead K-serial heroine...plus they've got all these other characters like Angie, Atul, and everyone else who are so interesting...that it makes for genuine entertainment! instead of psychotic storylines, crazy camera effects and the works.

Sorry to butt in like this, guys 😳 I was just reading your discussion, and couldn't help but post my two cents 😳

Paro will snap out of it. Hopefully. Maybe Shruti can drag her round. Shruti knows all about going for whatever you want regaudless of consequence 😉 Paro, I think is more worried for about what she should do (morally) and what she wants to do. I noticed for all her whining about not telling Om anything, the minute he called she went running. She could not stay away, knowing it was something she didn't consider "right".

I think it was the TCC interview where she said that. I loved it, because she highlighted exactly why I love Shruti (and the others) so much. With Shruti, she could screw up big time because I think essentially she was a normal person, somewhat self involved and determined to go for what she wanted to the point where she sometimes couldn't see the damage she did. She could get blinded but she also could amdit her mistakes and learn from them, which was actual charactergrowth (such a rarity),

I think UD was quite different form Shruti in the aspect that sometimes Shruti knew what she was doing was wrong in some people's eyes, but would do it anyway, but UD never really had that concept of right/wrong as such. He seemed to start to feel it more when Mukti came on the scene (ah the clasic love story of a bad boy/good girl).

No, we're not really analysing them in particular...Dee and I tend to get very philosophical once we get going 😆 😆 😆 If I recall, we were just talking about how much we prefer chars like UD and Shruti to the others of Ekta (and other) worlds 😆 😆

No need to apologise - its not a private convo 😳

@Vasu/Dee: You've both hit the nail on the head. It is plain old BORING to watch characters on-screen that are self-righteous and can be justified no matter what. Just taking the example of Prena as you put it, Vasu: She made a TON of mistakes in her life that were out of sheer ignorance and stubborness, BUT characters like these get slack as they are supposed to be the "damsels in distress," at the end of the day.

At MB/Tina/Sunaina storyline: 😆 😆 😆 I am laughing at how you all can cook up a storyline out of the blue, if it gets you what you want 😉 😆 Hey, Vasu, if we get some precious MT-airtime out of that, I am ALL FOR IT 😆 😍 If not, WELL... atleast we'll get some MB, to ourselves, right? 😉 ☺️

You're not interupting. I gotta say this is a fairly valid point. It's not so much a discussion as much as a disbelief that Prerna/Tulsi are held up to be the virtous "good" type we should all be aiming for 🤢 🤢 That is somewhat disturbing, that people may think that these are good examples. If I ever met these type of people I would be running in the other direction screaming.

Yes, I agree - re: the distinction between UD & Shruti. Shruti knew the concept of right and wrong, after all, she's Paro & Om's daughter. But I seem to think that, having seen everything that her parents have been through because of their unwillingness to "take" as opposed to "give", she grew up realising that in a dog-eat-dog world, you've just got to fight for yourself; she knows, from watching her family turn their backs on Paro more often than not, that for all their talk of family values etc, in the end you only have yourself to rely on. And that's not to say that she doesn't have any family values, or that she hasn't sacrificed for her family, but it is interesting that the daughter of the two most self-sacrificial characters in Kahaani turned out to have such different thoughts.

With UD - his concept of right & wrong was basically (what I tentatively call) the Faith & Buffy model😳: Want, Take, Have. He grew up learning that if you want something bad enough, you just have to reach out and pick it up and then reap the benefits. His moral system was skewed from the very beginning, but that's not necessarily a bad thing - he's just a product of the self-serving generation; he 'lived' in the era of instant gratification, and as we all do, he took advantage of that. His sense of morality came only, and ONLY, from Mukti. I think that while he might have 'respected' Prerna for her strength of character, he never truly aspired to learn from her. Mukti was his moral mirror, and she, without trying, was the model that he so desperately wanted to live up to, eventually. You're right Dee, it is the classic case of bad boy + good girl, and as we all love, the bad boy learnt a few lessons from the only good girl who would ever get through to him😳 Why Mukti is the only person he could ever love is something that we haven't really analysed - or have we? Could there be another person, another woman, who Prem could love like he loved Mukti? (And I don't mean in terms of, loving her after loving Mukti, but rather - what is it specifically about M that drew him to her in the 1st place?)

Really? There are people out there who actually look up to characters like Tulsi and Prerna?? Seriously??? Wow, then it really is disturbing the amount of importance these characters are given 😕 😕 😕

In general, the self-righteous bhashan spouting Type A Balaji lead heroine...I just CANNOT stand!...Like dee said, I would run screaming in the opposite direction if I ever met someone like that! 😆 😆 😆

^^🤣🤣🤣 I know, Anu!! I'd run as far away as possible from someone giving me Bhashan 101 😆 God forbid if I had a mother like Prerna or Tulsi 🤢

@Vasu: I would just die of all the drama that would take place in that house 😆 Can you imagine the number of Mai's, and Maha-mai's that could be potentially radioactive?

I shall pass, thank you 😆 😆 😆

@Fatty: "Radioactive" 😆 😆 😆

So guys, who annoys you more? Tulsi or Prerna?

I vote for Tulsi...the most irritating "mahaan" character ever created in my opinion 😉 😆 😆

Prerna, I actually liked during the early UD days...or maybe it was just the Manoj-Shweta chemistry 😉😆 and then, it all went downhill
