Slow massacre of Prachi's character.

Prachi started of as a beautiful character, full of love, concern and sacrifice for all the people associated with her. She seemed to have abundant capacity to love and forgive even the people who wish her the worst. She had tremendous patience which literally wore down her adversaries. Of late, however, all her virtues seem to have the opposite effect not only on the characters in the show but also the viewers. Now why is that?

I always maintained that the writers have stuck to Prachi's characterisation and she was acting as she was expected to. But of late I get the feeling that her character is slowly but surely being butchered. This is why I feel so.

Do you remember Prachi very self righteously telling Neev that she will always stand by the truth when he tried to get Suki and Saket marry clandestinely? She was right in doing so and probably averted a huge catastrophe which would have errupted had the wedding taken place. But in this baby raaz case where is her sense of righteousness, her support for truth? She should have asked Suki to confide in Milsi long back when she found out about the baby. She allowed the baby to languish in an orphanage. Lets forgive her for her folly because ultimately she brought him into the house, though for not the right reasons.

Later when things came to a head and Ayesha exposed her version of the raaz she herself could not tell Milsi anything because it was Suki's raaz. She put Milsi through torture by claiming that the baby was hers, all to protect Suki. Lets give her a margin for that too since as I said earlier it was not her raaz to reveal.

But now that so much has happened and her plans to give a home to Ritwik is now in jeopardy since with baba hearing the 'truth' she knows that she will surely be thrown out with the kid, why is she still bent on protecting the raaz? Who is benefitting from it? Not herself, nor her husband, nor Neev who has wrongly been accused (and here her support for truth rings really hollow. Why should an innocent man take the blame? And the deeds he is up to, to avenge his reputation loss, is doing her husband no good either). And I am sure Suki is not benefitting from it either. The girl could not even grieve properly for the supposed loss of her son. And living this lie all her life, she will feel all the more guilty, especially if she realises that she was the cause for her brother and sis-in-law breaking up and her son will be languishing some where, with Prachi raising him single handedly (mostly in poverty I guess since she does not appear smart enough to make a living).

The short point I want to make is what is the 'truth' that Prachi stand for as far as this secret goes?

The next big statement she had made in another context which again rings hollow in this case is what she told Milsi in the waterfall scene, that she considers her marriage as her life . Now all that she has been doing so far raises serious doubts as to what marriage means to her. If the respect she shows for it through her actions is anything to go by, then all I can say is that she does not respect her life very much, does she? I would have tolerated her silence and acceptance of blame so far because Suki was not there and in her absence she cannot take the liberty of revealing the truth. Now that she is back why is she still insisting that Suki should maintain the same silence? Is Suki's marriage more important than hers? If she still wants to protect Suki from Alaap's black mail, Baba's scorn and pain and Saket's rejection if the truth comes out, what is the argument for protecting the raaz from Milsi, especially if by doing so her marriage and his peace and happiness are at stake?

For me the creatives are butchering the beautiful character called Prachi, all with the intention of heightening the drama element and portraying the extent of her sacrifice. Instead of invoking sympathy for her, this is only making her character more repulsive by the day.

Did Baba hear what Prachi said or could there be a possibility that he heard what Suki said.....could there be a remote chance of that? Otherwise what Milind will do tonight is veerrrrrrryyyyy predictable....what he has been doing for a long time....or he should yell and rave and rant at Prachi and literally throw her out of the house...then maybe Suki will open her mouth...

Optimist as always u have put it beatifully.I fully agree with u, Very sad that Prachi's character has been massecered.it is too late.The damage has been done.

Whatever happens good or bad she has to take it.Lets see whats going to happen....Mills dad is the only hope...

all that I am going to say about from now on is that she is a confused silly little girl that say something sometime but dose not know what she is tallking about or what marriage is all about I'm not married yet but I know that when things r going bad for me or my frineds I know that I have to tell my mom and dad about it or someone who is older then me just so they can help me or tell me what to do about it,and just look at it Prachi she have a lovely mother then why can't she tallk to her?😕 😕if she knows that she can not tallk to Milind her husband and the love of her life 😭 😭O GOD Prachi please just tallk to someone soon befor it too late

I felt that Prachi has resigned to the fate, as she said, ki rather than think that his daughter is loose character, he rather thinki his DIL is so..yu can always have a new DIL.

And I guess thats what prachi has done..sacrificed herself for the daughter.

And I too feel, its prachi's character, she never gives an explanation ever for her behaviour, when milind shouted at her during sukriti's wedding (running away etc)she didnt utter a word. When she very well knew that Prachi was right and Milind wrong.

Now also she is doing the same, not uttering a word. She thinks her life is spoiled, let Sukriti be happy.

If Sukriti doesnt open her mouth, she is a gone case.

Pooja, I understand Prachi not wanting baba to know. but I fail to understand why the truth should be hidden from Milsi. She need'nt tell him herself, because it is not her secret to say. But why should she try to stop Suki from revealing it? Suki was just freaking out, saying, "If this is how baba reacts, just imagine what my brother must think if he comes to know that you proclaimed to be Ritwik's mom?" The poor girl is still not aware of what transpired in her absence. She does not know Milsi already thinks Prachi is the mother thanks to Prachi's declaration. Still Prachi wants her to keep quiet. This is not sacrifice. This is sheer torture. Imagine Suki's mental state if she knows what she has done to her brother. For all her shortcomings, I do not think that she is so selfish as to ruin her brother's marriage. I so wish that she is present when Milsi viciously tortures Prachi in her presence and throws her out. If my understanding of Suki is right, she will step up for her sister-in-law and confess everything to Milsi. Hope they do not conveniently pack her off to her house now that Ritwik is safe.

Optimist,

Been watching a few episodes of Kayamath and was struck with a sense of deja vu all over again. The character of Prachi is pretty much like the character played by another Prachi in KS- Bani- her so-called cure for problems is worse than the disease itself. Her protection of her sister in law's (non-existent) character is coming at the cost of:

Her own unhappiness.
Her hubby's unhappiness.
Her F-i-l is broken hearted.
Her ex-lover's character is mud. Not to say the state of his marraige.
Wonder what will do to the marriage of her sil when the raaz is out.

And the best part is that when the raaz is out Prachi will be annointed St. Prachi and everyone will laud her "sacrifices" and feel guilty for their completely justified actions.

But I guess that is an occupational hazard for all BT heroines.

I agree opti, that milind should know the truth, I mean its the truth and it has to finally come out, so if not others, milind should know, but prachi being prachi cannot think of her happiness. And till date she has never fought for her happiness.

All she can think of is others, I guess she under- estimates the effect she has on others, I mean how impt she is to others.

She feels all the ppl are sad right now, but if they know abt Sukriti they will be more sad..

Totally agree with you Priyanka. Prachi of this show is definitely following the footsteps of Bani although I think Prachi is far more timid than Bani.

As to the people affected by her actions let us not forget poor Ritwik. He has two sets of parents (the biological ones and the adoptive ones (atleast Prachi for now and Milsi (if only he knew the truth)), grand parents, aunts, uncle and yet his future is still a big question mark.

And there is no doubt that Prachi will be canonised as St.Prachi when the truth comes out. That is why they are subjecting all of us through this torture. I only hope they have learnt some lesson from KS and dont totally ruin this show by dragging this track for long. Remember how the ONS torture went on for months on end, killing that show completely?

Optimist,

Have Milind-Ayesha had a ONS yet? If not, it shud be round the corner if history is any guide.
