Dr. Bose, Dr. Sonakshi Bose is a nutritionist. They shaped up her character really well, someone who has a good amount of self confidence and self respect.
But it seed rather too stupid to be full time nutritionist at Dev's house. I mean, what was her job ? Make diet charts, direct Kichu bhaiyya and make Ishwari eat food ? Is that it ? To me, it seemed like the writers wanted to create some relation between the mother, the girl and the boy and they couldn't think of any other way out. I mean seriously, what is she doing at Dev's house from morning to evening? And to top it all, she is a nutritionist who doesn't even know to cook. And nowadays Ishwari is also following her diet chart, so there is really, really no need for her to be there 24X7.

There was some depth in her character before the accident sequence. But after that, and also with the entry of Elena the writers just began butchering her character. They just take it a bit too far. Dreaming, was fine. But over dreaming and thinking of him too much and the constant lecturing of Elena was irritating. And not to mention Erica's pathetic acting. The incessant crying was a pain in the eyes to watch.

There is no matter and depth left to Erica's character Sonakshi. She simply looks like a doll, who gets ready in the morning to meet Dev at his house. She basically has no aim in her life.

Kuch Rang, is a good watch, but there are a thousand cons as well. But I would like to appreciate its music. It's simply superb. It's awesome. Every time, every little piece of music, every song is beautiful. Dev has a great character depth. Shaheer acts really well. He emotes well. Supriya Pilgaonkar as Ishwari is amazing ! She knows to act. Actually even Neha has matter and depth in her character. The Dixit family is good to watch. They have substance.

While on the other hand, the Bose family is far from irritating. I just don't understand their presence. What are they up to? The episode doesn't really need them. They are just fillers these days. But before the accident, the Bose family was truly adorable.

Dev on one hand seems so mature and understanding, while Sonakshi is really just a doll. I agree the proposal scene was good. A treat to watch. Then a few scenes here and there. But I don't understand Sonakshi anymore. Her character is not worth a lead. Neha is way better than her. Comparing with Shaheer, I am really sorry but I dont think Erica is acting well these days. It's not cute anymore. It's irritating. Sonakshi, what is Sonakshi anymore ? Her character has not shaped up well. It's not a treat to watch anymore, a girl who basically does no work at all but still is at the Dixit household for namesake. I think they should probably show Ranveer and Neha more. They have some good story. And oh did I forget Tina. She's such an angel ! She has better characterisation than Sonakshi Bose.

I am sorry if anyone gets offended. I am sure many will, cause everyone is loving the new romance. But I really feel they aren't showing any depth in the script anymore, atleast with the entire Bose family.

Please feel free to comment. I would love to know your opinions too.

Love,
Sindhu

Actually right now since the confession they are focusing more n Dev as he is discovering how it feels to love someone. Thing will change and actually she is the center of what ever goes on in The show.So things will change.

I know that it's not the work of nutrition to work at someone's house whole day but he brought her for controlling her mom s health he kept her as a full time because some or the other time his mother may miss d balance in order to have a control on that.
And regarding acting she is giving her best according to me...
Everyone will have their own skills way of exhibition. O we can't compare one wit other.

Nd when comes to her job. Her job will b taken at fullest once she leave this job for Dev.

Family Bose is as of now may be a little filler but it's needed to show the difference between the characters thinking and level of relation between the families on both sides...

We are interested in Dev family side because they have troubles and hav to solve them. But in Bose family there are no such. They are happy living. So how these two families will mix up to show that there should be a background check Na.

It's fine that showing the ppl even for a filler.

This is my opinion...

I disagree to almost all of your points.
The main was about Erica's acting. The girl is putting her full efforts and is being better day by day. Her acting skills improved alot from what it was in the beginning.
And as you mentioned about over dreaming and crying and all, just think, the girl who has been always waiting for her love story finally got one and it got over before it could even start .. it really really hurts and she has full rights to cry her heart out. It never gave any sort of pain in my eyes.
And about sonas family, the thing you termed as filler is actually the reality .. it isn't important for a family to always have complications and problems.. Bose family is portrayed as a fun loving family without any sort of complications.. Unlike every seriels, this show tries to bring out reality, which is why many people love the show.

I agree whatever you said about Devs and nehas character.. they truly are strongly written characters

This is my opinion!
*Peace*

I agree with you- to some extent. Yes, after the accident they have changed Sona too much. Her fierceness and confidence has faltered quite a bit and her scenes have gotten a little repetitive. But I don't think she has become a doll in the show, there is still a lot of depth to her character that has been forgetten after the accident. I think after the real drama starts with Ishwari, we'll be able to see Sona's character explored much much more, and we'll be able to see the old Sona. They have shown so much character development for Dev and its high time they show it for Sonakshi.
But the thing with Elena is SO true! At first I didn't mind Elena's teasing but after a few episodes it got too repetitive and annoying. It made Sona become this...this different person all together. And I get it, she's in love, but that doesn't mean her nature and attitude should change. Hopefully she regains her old attitude slowly now.
And YES YES YES YES. No matter how much I deeply love DevAkshi's romance in Dev's house, there is no point of Sona being in the house anymore. So I really hope she leaves and joins a job worth her time now, no matter how much it'll break my heart🥺. Her being a nutritionist molded her character, and her being at Dev's house is not molding her character at all.
That's why I have so many high expectations for the next track. If it goes with the initial promos, she will be leaving soon and we'll see before-accident Sona again.
But, I do not agree with you about Erica's acting. In fact, I think her acting has improved with flying colors throughout each episode now. I just think she has a lot of potential that isn't being used yet. You could clearly see the pain on her face when Dev was getting engaged to Nats, and the joy when he wasn't. The surprise when he proposed, and the enternal love and care she feels for him so deeply. Her love for her siblings, and her annoyance of Vicky. It surpises me that this is her first show!! Again, (I know I've said it before) we'll see more of her acting through the hardships DevAkshi are going to face soon.
All in all, I understand your frustrations with Sona's character but don't lose hope yet. Her character hasn't been butchered, but forgotten in the midst of the romance. We'll hopefully see her character development beautifully done soon. 😉😛

Yes I get what you are saying. But it's just too much filler these days. They can be quick as before. All I am actually saying is, before the accident things were really good. Fast, good and smooth. Now it's. Little ambiguous

It's good to have critics among us... But actually were the main concept is Sonakshi Bose is the gravity of KRPKAB. She is the centre of the dark hole which throws a small but steady amount of light in Dixits households... As of now yes Sona is less as Dev's this side is being shown but I guess from tomorrow she would be the reason for everything.. She gives her opinion regarding his family matters and that matters to Dev equally as Ishwari's opinion... I guess from tomorrow would start her journey from Nutristionist Bose to Mrs. Dev Dixit which is very imp.. I hope u would post again a critical post appreciating Erica as Sonakshi then...
KRPKAB has some really good stuff coming soon... I would say I love to watch it as the stuff they show relaxes our day as we all are Jack's who have no play and work hard which makes us dull.. But just by watching this soap, we are all smiles and r ready to makes numerous posts...

Strictly tension excluded.

Sorry I disagree with most of what u have written esp with ur point about Bose family..on contrary I really like their family..its how a family in real life is...in every daily soaps its same clichd families with same planning & plotting MIL,SIL..etc.. don with heavy make up always going through hardship and never ending problems...so it so relief to see a family who support and stand by each other, encourage each other ...are not crying and cribing all the time..have a normal life like nokh-jhok , discussions and debates, pulling each other's legs..enjoying , having fun at the same time giving right advice at right time..which at least I can relate too..that is what makes this show watchable..it is to an extent realistic..
Regarding Sona...well if ur being paid handsomely for ur job..without much effort..why won't u do it.. Only thing is I don't like her taking shit from mami..but guess..she does it out of respect for ishwaari and dev..and more over practically, lot of times they are situations in professional life where u client might blast you for no fault of urs. and u might even go to extent of apologizing to him/her very well knowing u are right..it happens.. But u don't quit job for one stupid client of urs..when everything else is good..that's what sona is doing ..more over she needed that job as that time saurav was unemployed and dev had made sure she doesn't get job anywhere ..so what she is supposed to do..sit at home with all her degree..no right. ..
Just my POV...

Oh yes !! I totally agree with you. The character development that has been shown for Dev is really good. And I guess Sona's shall happen once the relationship is out in front of everybody.

But she so has to get a proper job 😆

Yes I also do agree it is a very realistic show. They show many practical things. But come on, it's after all a show too. There should be some reason behind the new story writing of Asha. Well not to forget to mention, I liked the part with Saurabh's new business and how the father was unhappy and all those little parts. That was cute. But now we want to see the story moving forward. It's sort of stuck as of now.
