I did expect the makers to make the reboot different in a positive way but clearly, nothing has changed. The tracks are similar to the ones that run in the other Ekta Kapoor shows and it’s still stuck in the ‘90s and early 2000’s when kidnapping, murder, re-birth, getting pregnant to become more powerful became a norm on television. - Anusha Iyengar, Timesnownews

While this article says some truths, I'm surprised it missed out on the most cringeworthy fact that the makers executed a date rape attempt and then did not address it at all! JUST because it was a man at the receiving end!
Komo wanting to one-up Pre by becoming pregnant is her mindset. Her character itself is so cringeworthy, I probably did not expect less from her.
But, the way the makers executed this whole track is a wayyy more disgusting and cringeworthy. NOBODY considered the attempt to rape as a serious issue at all, least of all Prerna. Even Anu did not ask any questions later. There were no direct accusations put on Komo that she tried to have non consensual sex with a drugged man. She should have been put behind bars for this reason alone. These are serious issues, and the writers had a brilliant opportunity to showcase the meaning of consent. Sometimes makes me wonder how educated the makers of this show are. Just because it's a reboot of an old show doesn't mean you have to copy 20 years old mentalities as well.
If there was a girl in Anu's place, oh the scenes we would have got!! The girl coming to senses and trying to cover her body while crying, looking all shameful. The hero lending his jacket to her and landing 2 3 punches on the villain. But, here, not a single word to address such a serious offence.🤮
The whole sequence was pathetic. Very few scenes in this show have truly revulsed me to no end, this being one of them. I've stopped watching on TV ever since this non-consensual sex thing started up. Can't tolerate AnuPre's stupidity with dealing with this issue either. Going back to 🛌🛌 until these useless CVs go back to school and get educated.
