Opening disclaimer:
I came to this show because a friend of mine suggested it and said it seems to be going really well and getting interesting, so, on her suggestion I started watching and right away got hooked on the show and becoming a fan. With that said, I hope I can state my views in a non-bias way since before KKB I was not a fan of Sriti, Shabbir, Arjit or Mrunal (didnt even know of their existence). But after watching KKB for months, I not only became a fan of the show, but also of all 4 leads and BOTH jodis. Yes... I like AbhiGya and I like RaBul and I think we dont have to like one with the exclusion of the other, we can definitely like both. Unfortunately in Ekta's world, hardly 2 jodis are happy at the same time.
Anyway... to my point, I saw tonight's episode and I thought that the web of misunderstandings the characters themselves are weaving for each other will take more than the magician Houdini or the best problem solver to get them out of this situation.
What is their problem? Well, believe it or not TANU is the one that said it - they are ALL too darn NICE! And that naivety, blind trust in their love ones and niceness is what is causing them all to be tangled up.
Abhi - Oh... he is a fool, and stupid sometimes and arrogant sometimes and plain clueless sometimes, but beneath all that, he has real capacity to be decent, loving, caring, compassionate, sweet, sincere and protective towards everyone, oh and NICE. I felt Abhi's conflict is real and I could feel the pain and emotion exuding from him in tonight's episode. It's very hard when the conflict is not between you and someone, but between you and you... do you trust your heart or your head? Do you trust your friends or your suspected foes? Abhi's niceness is however putting him in a position where he will have to crawl out on hands and knees and apologies to the ppl he loves - Daadi, Pragya, Purab and all. Why? Because he is nice to 2 ppl who I dont think deserves it - Tanu and Aliya. YES - Aliya is his sister, but any sister with a clean heart would never ask her brother to make such sacrifices in order to get her boy toy - for me, Aliya is using Abhi's love for her as means to HER end. Tanu does not love Abhi... love is a free emotion... if u have to manipulate and worm your way into a man's heart, then you don't deserve to be there and you wont stay there for long. They are both manipulating the emotions Abhi has for them for their own means and ends and using his feelings/niceness against him.
Pragya and Bulbul - Pragya is one track minded yes... she is focused on her mother's health sacrificing her own happiness and BB's as well. Both sisters are unhappy... neither seem to realise that they are BOTH hurting and really and truly their reasons are just plain stupid. But for Pragya - her mother is more important to her than her and BB. For BB, both Pragya's married life and her mother's health are more important than her own happiness. I get that they love each other more than themselves but they are weaving a web of lies that will come crashing down on them and the end result will be the same as if they had told the truth to begin with.
But... call me stupid, isnt seeing 2 daughters unhappy at once more detrimental to one's state of mind than anything else?
Pragya care for her mother, BB cares for her mother and Pragya's married life... and the ppl who love them are the ones that are unknowingly using this love they have in them to their own detriment. Meaning that Sarla's love is whats keeping Pragya and BB in this hell hole and allowing others to use this love and their niceness against them.
Purab - I mostly read mean things about Purab on the forum... weak, selfish, blah blah, but ALL of the characters ARE WEAK. These weaknesses are caused by their love for the ppl in their lives and by circumstances. We all aren't blessed with the gift of perfect timing. YES - Purab should have told Abhi about BB from the start and not gone along with Pragya and BB's mad brain ideas and that of marrying Aliya. His love made him weak and stupid and him wanting to be nice was used against him, making decisions for HIS life that only HE had the right to make. I know he did Aliya wrong and he could have done it better... but he was probably working on instinct and adrenalin. It's hard when u have players in the game that you can hurt tremendously - best friend, love of his life, family, etc.
The tangle web they all weave is weaved by themselves but NOT FOR themselves... they are all in this mess because they allowed themselves to be here for one person or another. They are getting deeper and deeper into the web and its because they are jumping over each other FOR another person and making more weaving.
All we can hope now is that the web gets so heavy, it breaks at the roots and they all fall out and the truth comes tumbling down along with them.
Sarla - nothing much to say about her - she is one of the most significant persons who is using her daughters love and emotions (however unknowingly or because she is DRAMA QUEEN) to cause their own unhappiness. AND well... she notices Abhi's behaviour now, but she never wondered why he married Pragya. AND (one too many ANDs đ) - she noticed all this but hasn't noticed BB hasn't been happy in ages and hasn't smiled in a while and is completely sad?! Yes, she was assured by BB and she questioned it maybe once or so... but... she is a MOTHER - all mothers sense, even if they don't see a daughters pain and unhappiness, esp. when said daughter is living with you.
Daadi and Rockstar daadi - They will be the ones to catch all four nut heads that allow others to use their emotions against them when they fall. WHY - because both of these daadi's are the most sensible and logical ppl on the show... Superstar Daadi and Rockstar Daadi!!!
Sorry for the ramblings, if anyone actually reads this, then I say THANK YOU đ.
Just wanted to get some thoughts out there.
Hope to come, we get some more progression in the show.
Fabulous acting by all to get us so attached to the characters and the show.
Anupamaa
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon
