I've been following KRPKAB since its first ten episodes because Shaheer is a precious eye-candy and that for once in life I saw an Indian soap that was quite relatable. KRPKAB is the third show I am following and while it doesn't really exceeds expectations, It has definitely set a bar for itself which basically pushed me to come out and post here in appreciation for the show.
The Dixits are a family of flawed individuals who are self made and want to see themselves as best in every decision they take and every choice they make. They, as a family validate each other instead of asking for validation or embracing critic from an outside source.
The Bose family on the other hand, always staying behind the curtains in terms of presentation on the show but they are literally what every family should be like. They are an average middle-class family whose strongest tool is not wealth or traditional roots but education and self-confidence. I loved how in beginning of the show Saurabh's lack of ambition was something that Bijoy was not happy about but once he realized and understood that Saurabh in pursuing his goals has chosen an unconventional field that makes him happy, he stood aside and let him continue on. The priority that The Bose family places on is "happiness" and it is so refreshing to see that sentiment translate on-screen, that too a desi-soap opera with so much beauty is wonderful.
The equilibrium between Bijoy and Asha in there marriage and how they let there children grow up is beautiful, subtle and an example of how every other family adopt for being successful citizens and products to the society while retaining there best mental health and happiness.
In past episodes, Sonakshi has emerged as a fighter that her character always has been since beginning and she has stood up for not just her beliefs but her values and priorities and her decisions. From the moment she confided in her father to be reminded that wife is not present in a home to do chores to the moment where she stood up to Ishwari to not just provide closure to herself but also to remind the Dixits that there wealth and there regressive beliefs that have rooted to there insecurities aren't something that hold importance in her own life. For Sonakshi, pursuing something that makes her happy is what holds importance. Her belief in herself and confidence in her abilities is striking and exactly what needs to shown to masses across Subcontinent.
Feminism usually gets a bad rep for god knows what reason but I love how without highlighting women's rights and need for justice, for the first time in history on indian television, a next-door-girl is shown with the basic core belief that she is entitled to all the opportunities and all the decisions of her life just as a man is entitled to. That a man in her life doesn't dictate her journey of life.
I am just very excited in this track to see Sonakshi not wait for a moment to hold anyone but a grown man responsible for his mistake. She didn't hate on Ishawari or tell her that anything that blames her for her relationship with Dev coming to end. Ultimate decision in impulse was of Dev and she held him responsible. She stands on her own feet and continues to face the world because she isn't a criminal for a failed relationship.
I have not been much of a fan Erica till past break up. Sonakshi's character has usually given Erica more room to go along without being an impeccable actress but the track of break up and carrying herself in a emotional wounded state, I have to give Erica two thumbs up. She brought the fighter out of Sonakshi for the world to see that Sonakshi Bose is not someone to be taken lightly.
P.S. She called Dev out on being a stalker and oh my god, THAT WAS SO PERF because if my ex pulls that kind of shiz, he is getting a restraining order from me. Hats off o the writers of KRPKAB. It is an extremely underrated show of this decade. This show is basically above all of Gul Khan's love stories.
