While I understand Anu's underlying thinking of taking such an extreme step to protect Prerna and Sneha from an evil woman, the execution of it was done extremely poorly. How did the creatives think it was okay to push any woman, let alone a woman who had just delivered a baby, from the bridge? This was not only an illogical story line or playing with a main character, but it was abhorrent. Even if they wanted to stick to this story, they should have executed it differently. Thanks only to Parth's acting as Anurag, I can still connect with him and feel his pain and sacrifice.
Even though Anurag found out about Komolika's identity too late and directly from her, creatives could have shown Anurag, who himself claims is good in chemistry, make Komolika unconscious by giving her something and work with Prerna to make a plan to protect her and their daughter. Anurag did it during NB track to Prerna. So he could have done the same or even worst with Komolika to buy him some time. That would have shown character growth from the first Komo1 track when Anurag had sacrificed their relationship for Prerna's happiness & welfare. He again tried to play God in their relationship. If it was only about AnuPre, I can still understand if he did not want to inform Prerna as she would never leave him unless his life was in danger. She would not leave him to protect herself, infact she would stick with him to protect him from Komolika. But here even Sneha's life was involved. Prerna would have done anything to protect their child's life and that is why it would have made sense if AnuPre both acted together to protect their daughter. This way they could faced separation physically but be connected emotionally. In Komo1 track, Anurag sacrificed. In Bajaj1 track, Prerna sacrificed. In memory loss track, it was out of their control. But now I would have loved to see AnuPre working together to destroy Komolika once and for all.
I don't know if cvs were thinking of PreJaj angle after the bridge kaand, but that would be really stupid on their end to think so. if Bajaj1 track did not work, how would Bajaj2 track work? They should have stuck with AnuPre being the end game and made the story around them. With Parth playing as Anurag, nothing but AnuPre would have worked. He is just so damn good in this role. Even now, after everything, Anurag looking tenderly & lovingly at Prerna or showing his love and concern for her has the power to melt my heart. That is the hold Parth as Anurag has on the audience.
Lastly, I do not want to talk about Anurag sending Sneha to an orphanage yet. I hope, like really hope, there is a back story for Anurag to genuinely believe that Sneha was with Prerna all these years and not just 1 scene where he told a stranger to give Sneha to Prerna only and be done with it. There has to be a backstory where Anurag beyond any doubt truly believed Sneha and Prerna were together. It can be shown as Anurag trusting Bajaj and Bajaj lying to him. I don't know but there has to be more than what we have seen. If creatives don't show this to us, then this would be the biggest character assassination till date of Anurag, even worst that the bridge kaand. Parth would do such a fabulous job of showing Anurag's breakdown upon learning Sneha's truth. I hope we get a whole episode dedicated to Sneha's matter.
