@LA2725, thanks for the consolation. But do not know how the de-addiction from Abhi and Pragya will be successful for Shabir and Sriti have nailed them into our hearts so deeply.
But as you say consistency with the basic story is what is the most important for the success of a serial. Looking back, the first year of KKB was real magic, even if it was revenge marriage and Abhi was really hurtful at times towards Pragya, there was truth in their relationship and their gradual love for each other was so believable and acceptable. Abhi who hated the constition of marriage, starte d believing in it. Even in Mogambo and ML track, the basic love between them was unbreakable. But this track seems to be heading nowhere. Munni could have been highlighted in a different manner and Pragya could have been shown outside without entering MM till the Munni drama was over.
And to think now that KKB is being viewed in many countries, how will they assess this serial at present. The whole meaning of marriage seems to be portrayed differently now, the ever presence of the mistress or sautan is leaving a very very sour taste to the strength of bhagya. The wife always becomes the outsider with no trust or acceptance for her in the family in spite of her endless sufferings to keep that family happy but the mistress who always is a danger to the constitution of family relationship is always accepted in their presence.
The writers had created a wonderful character of Pragya but they themselves have destroyed it and made a mockery of it. The hard work Sriti had put in to give life to this character seems to be becoming fruitless now and Shabir as Abhi also.
Hope the other serials as you say stay more focussed to their theme and also to the viewers feelings and even if just creative serials have some responsibility to social cause.😊
