I have no issue if she has to be in love with him, selfless or not. My only concern is the circumstances in which she fell in love with him. Till the day of the "demolition" when she was literally begging him there was no such emotions apart from frustration, in fact she was fed up of putting up with the farce of her marriage, and ready to reveal all to her mom, but then he suddenly comes to save the hall and Boom! she has these nice feelings for him which quickly translated as love for her. There was no build up, not much of conflict of emotions except maybe a monologue or flashback or two and already she is confessing to BB to be giddily and selflessly in love with no expectations, despite all that he has done to her so far. That's what I'm having a huge problem with.


PS: You are right, her expressions are always flawless 😊 Regardless of poor tracks Sriti always manages to give fabulous performances that just for the moment we forget whether the track makes sense or not ⭐️



This whole rapid love development honestly does the character no favors. It comes off like she has the emotional complexity of a six year old on a playground who was just given a piece of candy by a boy who used to bully her; the one simple act of kindness means now suddenly she is "in love." So in love, in fact, that every mean thing he does is now being transformed into something cute or hilarious, in her mind. "I'm going to love him, regardless of how badly he treated me before and how badly he treats me now, and expect nothing in return" says rarely anyone in real life. Well, except children and the abused (but I won't go there again). Feelings are never that simple when the circumstances are complex, and Pragya was set up to be much more rational and self respecting than to think like this.


I'm really hoping that maturity and internal conflict and integrity and dignity of self will reappear for her once something major happens to burst her misguided love bubble. But I have doubts on this. This show has been great if one is a fan of certain other characters. It's a little sad, however, for me as a Pragya/Sriti first fan. Sriti gets some great moments but the writing for her character is inconsistent, if not ridiculous. I don't think that's going to change.

@red - That sums up exactly what her character has been reduced to at the moment.


@blue - Word! And that's why it's more disappointing and hard to digest that a character initially shown to be sensible and rational is a mere ghost of that former self


Tbh I have no expectations from this show any more 😒


@purple - *sigh* and to think it's the 3rd consecutive time this is happening with Sriti's show/character. Guess we just have to learn to accept that and only appreciate her performances alone

Pragya had been developing feelings for him over time. His goofy stuff often got her to smile and when he apologized for sweater, defended her in front of the restaurant guy, cared for Sarla.. etc etc..etc.. she was appreciative of him.
When the KB hall thing came, she hoped he would help but when he didn't she was disappointed in him. But yeah, he undid all that.. and to her, her family means so much and he was the savior of her family.
And Pragya does not hold grudges and very clear about her heart.

The whole thing is imbalanced because Abhi is not with her. But my point is, he is there too, in those eye locks, in those instinctive stuff he does.. but he is restricted because of his MU and she is not.

However, I think Abhi will turn the tables around in the most dramatic way when everything becomes hopeless.

The whole thing isn't imbalanced because she's in "love" and he can't be. It's imbalanced because Abhi is an unabated ass (he was one even without the MU so that's no excuse) and no one holds him accountable for his deplorable actions. Pragya used to but had to stop too because you know, marriage, fragile moms and insta-love makes you mute and such. 😆

And yes, I know. Abhi's pain and suffering and punishment will come later. I've been told. But in the meantime, I'm stuck watching Pragya (my favorite character, the character I watch for, the one I used to identify with) get harassed, humiliated and abused while faling nonsensical love. Long past the point where I would actually root for her to have her Insta-love reciprocated by the hypocritical jerk who participated in inflicting this treatment on her. 😕

I totally agree Zephy, the lack of buildup was so troubling. It didn't make any sense and I was really waiting for how they would show this, but the Cvs totally disappointed me

That's true 😆

So far as a solitary traveler she has visited Pondicherry, Kerala and Sikkim (impressive in my opinion), maybe it's not enough for her 😛
