Kudos to u @gravity for addressing this issue. I have been very excited for kasautii but right from the promo a day before the launch i have been consistently disappointed. Seeing that promo only i came to know that this is going to be nothing but just a goodlooking OTT senseless drama. Still gathering all hope watched it for eri's sake and wasn't at all impressed by the first episode. This show is lavish n grand n NOTHING else. Such lazy writing where they are just copy pasting scenes from all their shows, wth was ekta thinking this to be her dream project?

Promising audiences this is some heart touching epic love story and then basically just copying scenes n tracks ditto from ur other shows is a disservice to audiences. But as i type this i look like a fool myself because the trps have increased with this senseless track n plot. This is the root cause of the problem, we as audiences support such BS and thats exactly what we get. Look at kdb, the quality of that show is utter BS and its no. 2 on trp charts. The problem is in us as audiences. If ppl stop supporting sch shows which take audience' intelligence for granted, its only then that we will have quality shows which will launch and which will sustain.

Ms.Gravity- Beautiful, hard-hitting post :) You've put forth all the relevant points, in a very logical manner. This show is a disaster in it's entirety. I for one, cannot bring myself to accept that this is the same Erica who had played the firebrand nutritionist in her previous show. There is such a MASSIVE gulf in the quality of characterization and writing when one analyses her two characters/shows.

I expected this show to be like Anurag will be serious and hardworking Business man and Prerna also working in company like self respected woman ..but their idea of showing them as college going students was too stupid ...neither Parth or Erica look as college going students we can make out from looks of an actor.

aur ab tu college bhi na jaane kahan chala gaya

I know this isn't the perfect co-relation but I'd like to say it.

It all started with Prerna not having enough financial resources to rebut Navvu's evil advances. The amount here is in lakhs.

In Erica's previous show, there was a stage where the FL's i.e her character's family had to face some humiliation owing to their middle-class status. That family too was a regular middle-class family (but they looked absolutely relatable, unlike the Sharma family here). She had to return Rs.5 Crore. Yeah, she was a very strong, independent and successful nutritionist in the show, but 5 Crore was still WAY beyond her family's financial reach. It is a HUGE sum for a middle-class family. They didn't have a deadline to return the money, but that girl was upright and very self-respecting. She returned the money within a very short period of time. And how did she do that? She and her family mortgaged their house. It was a tough decision, but they stood firm and went ahead with it. When your self-respect is assaulted, people DO TAKE such decisions. That is how people deal with testing circumstances in life. Contrary to that, what Prerna has done here is outright illogical and pathetic.

I'll share my own personal experiences. I'm someone who's been brought up by a single mother. My Mom was not the most highly-educated woman out there, but she slogged tirelessly to give me and my sister a good life. We purchased a house via a bank loan. Yes, a loan. The option which SO MANY middle-class families take in testing situations. We WERE middle-class and we ARE still middle-class. The Sharma family, based on how they've been portrayed, are financially MUCH more stable. Heck, I've done part-time jobs, I'm still doing one, all while pursuing my education. Even we have high expenditures, often running into lakhs, but we've always found a way. Through our hardwork, not by bending in front of anyone.

And here, Prerna is bending in front of that disgusting creep for a house! Seriously?

The writers better not use the middle-class card to justify Prerna's stupidity. DO NOT insult the intelligence and integrity of so many middle class families out there who do not resort to such idiocy, even in the toughest of situations.
