I am frustrated with this show and need to vent my frustration out. So this post is dedicated to all the characters that have challenged my patience, understanding and sanity. WHY ARE THE WRITERS DOING THIS?!
Pragya (The wife yet the outsider aswell)
I am not a doctor by any means but I have diagnosed Pragya's condition. She seems to suffer from a condition called the SarlaAttack Phobia. In this phobia, the patient has a this illogical fear that no matter how tiny a mistake, it will yield the catastrophic result of Sarla having a heart attack. You get a divorce from a farce marriage, what will happen? Sarla will get a heart attack. You spill a glass of milk, what will happen? Sarla will get a heart attack. You forget to vacuum, what will happen? You can probably guess by now. In addition to SarlaAttack Phobia, Pragya seems to be suffering from mild delusion and selective memory loss where in, she very conveniently forget the reality of her marriage and tries to win' Abhi's love; again, conveniently forgetting Abhi is in love with another even before her farce marriage. A marriage that happened due to a poorly thought-out and even more poorly executed revenge plot, ironically by the same husband she's unconditionally devoted. It's one thing to win a man's love but when the man is clearly devoted to another, it's called HOME-WRECKING! Regardless of what Pragya or human kind in general may think of Tanu (which runs in the lines of selfish, arrogant, etc), what matters is that Abhi loves her. He may see her differently, or maybe he's a sucker for pain or maybe he's outright stupid but the bottom line is that Pragya's (strictly namesake only) husband loves her. If she truly loves him, shouldn't she do the right thing and let him be with Tanu? - then again the show isn't a big fan of common sense and logic.
Sarla (The heart attack machine)
Why not get that long overdue heart attack? (okay... bad joke, I know). Sarla happens to be the sole reason of this agonizing tale of confused characters. Her weak heart and constant urge of blaming Bulbul for everything has lead her daughters to make the stupidest decisions known to mankind. Pragya staying married in a family that clearly hates her and Bulbul not marrying into the family that clearly adores her. Sarla needs to seriously see what's right in front of her eyes!
Bulbul
She's cute and bubble but why is she so determined to become the 21st century tiyag ki devi? Whether her sacrifice makes a different or not, Bulbul is ready to give it. I still don't understand how her staying away from Purab was helping Pragya and Abhi get closer but see, as always Bulbul was ready before hand to sacrifice. Another Bulbul trait that seriously annoys me is her constant need to dump her bucket load of guilt on the wrong person; maybe this is a genetic problem since Sarla suffers from the same. For some reason, she has declared Suresh as her punching bag. No matter what the problem, even if tsunami comes around again, Bulbul will find a way to blame Suresh and she will choose the most illogical conclusion to hold the guy's collar - a neatly ironed collar, might I add. Maybe she has the hots for Suresh and doesn't realize it and these are her failed attempts at engaging him in a conversation? That's the only logic I can come up with :/
Abhi
Has the most twisted life, any man has had the misfortune of living. He married a woman to ruin her life - ended up ruining his own. Sometimes he's the dumbest character and then at times, he spews the most logical arguments and that confounds me as a viewer. I don't think the writers have properly decided on how they want to represent Abhi's character other than his sarcastic comments.
Overall this show needs to seriously pick up pace. They need to get over the nok-jhok and bring about the real story. The show has been running in circles since the unfortunate day Pragya married Abhi. The circle could be summarized as following:
1. Someone conspires against Pragya (usually consists of the three muskateers: Tanu, Aliya and the bhabhi)
- Abhi gets angry.
- Pragya's entire family deems it reasonable to get involved.
- Pragya's name is cleared at the last moment.
- NokJhok begins again.
