Purab, You knew it all - Page 3

Everybody in this serial has made wrong choices.

Let me start with the elders:

• Dadi - chose a girl like Pragya without knowing Abhi too well. Yes, she is right in knowing that only Pragya can "handle" Abhi, and make him change his ways, but the whole premise of "marrying someone to fix them" is ill-fated in my opinion. This is a show,so its very romantic and cheesy to see a guy transform, but in real life, this is disastrous.
• Sarla - the less said the better. her biggest mistake however is not knowing what her daughters want, but pushing them to want what she wants.
• Pragya - marrying Abhi.
• Abhi - Listening to Aaliya and marrying Pragya
• Bulbul - Not realizing that forcing Purab to marry Aaliya does not solve his problems
• Aaliya - :/
• Tanu - :/ :/
• Purab - now his list is the longest. Merely because many others are behaving in ignorance. Dadi is behaving in ignorance of the facts post marriage, Pragya married Abhi in ignorance of his machinations, Bulbul fell in love with him in ignorance of his alliance with Aaliya.. Abhi... etc., everyone has a reason for "ignorance". But Purab is the know all. Knowingly, he is making choices (difficult, yes, very difficult) but knowingly. He knew Abhi's temper issues, Aaliya's stubbornness... That's why he was quick to guess that AbhiGya marriage is something that is "worrying". He knew Abhi would never marry a girl like Pragya without a reason. As being the one who knew everything right from the start, but still made poor choices that have affected not only his own life, but that of others and more dramatically so, I have zero respect for him. Let me count the ways.
• I some how can never respect a guy who two-times women, no matter what his intention. He was seriously or not seriously, attached to Aaliya, and he should have been outspoken about this to Bulbul. He tries to "avoid" falling in love, but does not come clean. Not good.
• He knows that Abhi is punishing Bulbul and Pragya for whatever happened, yet he chooses to be over protective of Bulbul, leaving Pragya alone to fight his wrath. Not cool at all.
• He runs away from his marriage, runs away from confrontation etc., very well realizing the extent to which Mehra siblings can go to hurt Pragya.
• He claims to love Bulbul but seems to have no connection to his family - unless she cries. Comes across more as an obsession or infatuation than love to me.

All in all the reason I hate Purab's characterization is that his choices are the most informed of all. He is not under any misunderstanding whatsoever, but he still continues to make one bad decision after the other. Unfortunately, he could run away and marry another girl, and all it cost him was his friendship (that he does not even seem to care about at this point) but the Arora sisters, and to a great extent Mehra siblings have paid a great price for. Yes, everyone brought it upon themselves, but unfortunately the vortex points to Purab.

The problem is that if they redeem Purab's character by having him clarify misunderstandings, it is also end of drama for the show for now - so to get TRPs, they are extending the misunderstanding and the only way to do this is to keep Purab the way he is.Unfortunate, yes.

There is no real way that they can fully redeem Purab's character now (even if he marries Aaliya) if he does not say the truth, and if he says the truth, we know that the drama-chewing gum-misunderstanding track is over. So, classic catch 22 here.

I wish they wrote Purab's character more convincingly. But, then well, what am I expecting from a daily soap?

I think we are all forgetting that Purab wrote that letter in order to clarify the MU, but it was hijacked by Tanu. In his mind, he did try to clarify issues.

As for Purab being the only character not operating under MUs, for the last couple of episodes, Abhi has been making bad choices despite having learned the "truth". So too has Tanu.

But Purab would know either Abhi has not read his letter or has not believed him. He did see Abhi going ballistic at the temple.

Abhi has not "believed" the "truth", and absolutely wrong with his own interpretations. But Purab has a more clear picture of things.

If Purab is afraid or reluctant to explain to Abhi, he can explain to Daadi or Sarla.. who definitely would give him some ear-time.

Thank you thank you! Actually the beauty of this show in a way is that no one is flawless. I would say Suresh is the most consistent character, and sometimes I am tempted to believe that if his marriage with Pragya went along, they would make a nice living with each other. Ofcourse, this would not be as dreamy as AbhiGya. I hope they found other means (not the dramatic OTT forced situations) to show that AbhiGya were star crossed. May be they would have just let Abhi marry Pragya in anger, because he was attracted to her personality - and then created a misunderstanding. There are many possibilities. But currently the way this misunderstanding is flaoating around, it is because of very poor characterization of all characters. I love Shabir, but the way he pushes and throws AbhiGya does not go well with me. I applaud the actors but the story needs to start going somewhere. Lets see when. The problem is, how will they undo this - kuchh bhi karenge, ek segment hoga jo naaraaz hoga. How to balance, drama, TRP and fans?
