RIDICULOUS RATIONALE - - Page 5

Exactly, but tragically, there are A LOT of ignorant, naive and gulliable viewers who think this makes sense and the shows are catered for them, not the intelligent ones here venting at the obvious and frustrated that a semi-decent show is getting ruined AGAIN>

Hey Laila: So good to run into you after a long time on IF. Bang on post! I concur with you.

Unfortunately, it is a real practice here on KB forum and other sections too to suppress a viewpoint if it is constructively critical about a certain track and differs from the prevailing majority viewpoint. It may also be the result of some viewers not being able to differentiate between their love for the actor and the character played by them.

I posted something similar about the writing quality of KB and was advised to take it easy, not to watch the show or asked, "Why am I watching the show in the first place?". Crazy, Isn't it? But ,some member feel it is their prerogative to say that in the name of saying that they don't want to see us in pain. Come on, no one is in pain watching fictional shows on TV. At least, most reasonable people understand the difference between reel and real life.

Here is the link to that thread where I also posted my reply. Of course,

Anyways, since then I visit the forum but usually post sparingly. But, I couldn't stop myself from replying to your post.

The appalling thing is that the whole point of IF is to promote discussion as long as the actors are not bashed. Additionally, I feel that just because a show is no. 1 or no.2 on the TRP charts does not mean it is without flaws. KB is an excellent example of the same.

As an adult, I can decide WHEN I am ready to stop watching a show. I am not a 5 year old that I don't know that I can stop watching a show. I think I know that option is available to me. And when I want to stop, I will. In the meantime, as a viewer the show entertains me enough to continue to watch but at the same time it can frustrate me with its stupidity. A person can have BOTH and viewers should learn to respect that this is possible.

And yes, it is ALL up to me to decide to say what I want and express how I feel.

I will reporting any posts in the future that attempt to advise me to stop watching a show. I find that to be very offensive and actually a passive aggressive approach of getting a viewer to stop criticizing their favorite show. If the viewer cannot handle it, then here is my advise, do not read my posts.

Fair point; telling you to stop watching the show doesn't engage with your frustrations and isn't a useful point of conversation. It does stifle discussion and it can create a climate of hostility. I don't see why that means people shouldn't be allowed to tell you so, but I can see why people shouldn't tell you so.

But ultimately I don't really understand why you expect the show to make sense? I know honestly speaking that makes me sound idiotic, but I am the kind of person who is willing to accept a lot from any given status quo. In this case, I tend to write off a lot of illogical characterization & writing as part and parcel of this genre. It doesn't bother me so I don't understand why it bothers other people. I would like to understand, though. Thoughts?

Well, thank you for making this post.. It says exactly what I've been feeling for a long long time now.

The show has such good or perhaps decent actors who could pull it off, if dealt with sensibly.

However, there's some serious problem in the writing department. The characters aren't defined yet.. Pragya swings from being a mature professor and daughter to being an illogical person who knows the consequences of the sham of her marriage. And Abhi! He's planning and plotting against her and yet we, expect him to redeem himself once the truth is out. I agree, that's an eye opener for him, but will Pragya and her family ever be able to forget and forgive him for what how he intended to humiliate his own wife, whilst blinded by love for his vampy sister. On second thoughts, of course, she will!

Firstly, i feel some tracks such as BB-Purab were rushed.. We never got to witness the depth of their relationship, if I may call it that and hence it seems as though Purab is being made the sacrificial lamb here..

Though that's a different story altogether. I fail to understand the logic behind Pragya and Bulbul's decisions to get Purab married to Aliya, despite all 3 knowing her true colours. Isn't it obvious that she's a crazy woman who will kick Pragya out, make everyone else's lives hell once this marriage happens..

Whatever!! I watch the show since I really like the actors, who're probably putting in their best, but the lack of logic turns me off.. I hope that improves in the near future, else I'll be forced to be content with just reading the WU's..

Sorry, if I ranted.. And I don't intend to hurt anyone's feelings here..

So spare me moral policing please..

Thank you for your appreciation of the post. Your comment (in bold) is an understatement 😆

You are spot on with your observations. Pragya was presented as a strong, pragmatic woman who would stand her ground. However, what ruined her character was the night she escaped and was determined not to disclose to anyone the horrors of her marriage. I would have MUCH rather the writers spent some time and come up with a better reason for her decision to stay and that was to protect BulBul.

Her decision NOT to pust Bulbul and Purab together was ultimately to protect her from what someone as pwoerful as Abhi could do to her. That's at least some decent rationale for her sacrifice. While she is married to Abhi, she at least tries to figure a way to bring them together...but none of this...

And I agree, the Purab and Bulbul romance was VERY rushed. I personally see ZERO chemistry between them. These two NEVER dated or were shown having a conversation. She was a Horrifically RUDE employee and completely embarassing. I cannot even figure out what she did in the office.

Sometimes I do not know if the writers are the problem are the actress just plays it Over the top.

I like the actors and the scenes between Pragya and Abhi have kept me entertained but the plot and the poor characterizations are killing the show and the writers need to pull it together before they end up kiiling their show.

What are you asking forgiveness for? Expressing an opinion? Do you see anyone of those people who tell us to not watch the show or accept the illogical nature of it feeling bad for posting? NO, so don't you feel bad either.
