A hunch where the story is headed to - Page 2

Haha..hope your prediction turns out true. And same here, if Rishabh-Preeta happens i'll quit watching it too. I've not watched too a many indian soaps with love triangles set in such backgrounds neither much of the films referenced. So i am completely blank regarding the endgame.

Am I the only one who doesn't see the "love" happening anytime soon between PreeRan.

Yeah, the signs of the attraction are clearly there and the eye-locks have only just started - and we're already 50 episodes in. But I don't even think that they have begun the process of falling in love. There's so much left to show between them before this bit officially takes off. So I don't see them realizing or confessing their feelings for each other for quite some time now, unless Ekta suddenly speeds up the process.

Firstly, it is quite unfortunate if people are "blaming" Preeta for the situation Rishabh is in now. But I feel it is unfair to simply put the responsibility of Karan's impending and speculated suffering on Rishabh. A person is responsible for his or her own feelings and the way they deal with any given situation. If Karan or Preeta decide to sacrifice their (yet to be formed) relationship for the sake of Rishabh or some other character, then isn't that on them? Rishabh is doing exactly this now. He has been indecisive about how to act on his feelings, has been pining for Preeta secretly, but is now going ahead with his engagement with some other girl because (1) family's sake, especially his mom, (2) society (the "its too late to back out now" argument). So I really don't see why Rishabh should be blamed for his fate now and yet be blamed for the decisions (or lack of decisions) that Preeta or Karan make in future.

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Secondly, Preeta and Rishabh are so not the endgame (doesn't matter who she gets married to at first). Before the show wraps up we will be in our graves and till then this pillow passing of Preeta will go on😆. Secondly, I find the basic narrative of this show quite similar to the movie "Chal mere bhai". Preeta and Karan are supposed to be the couple. Rishabh will either continue to be the nice guy who sacrifices his love for his brother's sake, or in true Ekta style, will be made a villain at some point (but that's the long term scenario). In the short term, Karan will start doing all the things that Rishabh has been doing till now for Preeta, like helping her with her family problems, etc while Rishabh will probably focus on self-pitying.

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Finally, I feel that both Rishabh and Karan's character need to be written better. Most of Karan and Preeta's scenes can be boiled down to Karan calling Preeta a pretentious and manipulative person who wants to make him fall in love with her or she is lecherous enough to try and touch him all the time. I don't see any depth in their relationship. Rishabh and Preeta have had more scenes where they had actual conversations. But even then, it has been more about showing how nice and "too good to be true" characters Preeta and Rishabh are. Still, I feel they have more depth than Karan-Preeta at this point. Preeta, thanks to her interactions with all the characters, is the best written character of this show till now. Its really good that Shraddha has great chemistry with both the male leads...it elevates, the otherwise lazy writing of the show.</font>

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Anyway, I am just putting forth my thoughts. I know we all have a subjective take on the show, and this is mine.</font>

Appreciate your take on them. Also i think Rishabh-Preeta and Karan-Preeta shippers are never going to be on the same page. And on your opinion of Karan doing the same things in the foreseeable future that Rishabh is doing rn, there's a little shade of difference between the two. If Karan does that, he'd be doing it willingly. For his brother. Cause he won't really have any other choice. As for Rishabh, no he's not doing it for his family. If that was the case, he would have been married already from where the show started. He's purely doing it because "Preeta said so". In his case, he did have many doors open until the events leading upto his marriage. For that you can read my take on him again. He doesn't have a Karan to sacrifice his love for yet as there's rarely anything between preeta and karan till now, his family adores her, preeta herself doesn't love anyone yet. Sherlyn was not really forcing him at the start of their marriage endeavour. Infact she was very much willing to back off from it. Rishabh and Sherlyn barely had any interaction. So he didn't really have an actualy impasse you see.

I just want to make it clear that I'm not a Karan-Preeta or a Rishabh-Preeta shipper. I am just a casual viewer, who has watched previous Shraddha Arya shows and hence giving this one a try.

I'm saying almost the same thing as you are. But my take is that if a person makes a decision then he or she is accountable for his/her choice, no one else. Rishabh made a decision (more like going with the flow) out of whatever reason, but that's his decision and he is responsible for his situation. Same for Karan or Preeta. In future, whatever decision they make (doesn't matter if it is for their family or love or whatever) it is their decision for which Rishabh shouldn't be held accountable. Yes, he should be held responsible if he plays foul or manipulates them deliberately...but if you're choosing to sacrifice your love for your brother, then that's on you. That's how I see it.

In last week's episode Karan said something like "mom will have heart attack if you call off the engagement", when he thought Rishabh was joking about getting cold feet about the engagement. So I assumed that Rishabh is not backing out because of his mom and because he thinks its too late now. Maybe he just didn't have the courage required to "propose" to Preeta and chose to suffer in silence rather than deal with a possible rejection? But even if Preeta is the reason for him to go ahead with this marriage (like you have mentioned), and if Rishabh will be the reason for Karan to not marry Preeta in future...then why is Preeta not to be blamed for Rishabh's situation, but Rishabh is at fault for Karan's foreseeable future decisions? I'm not blaming Preeta; Rishabh brought this on himself. And if Karan sacrifices, then I won't blame Rishabh. But I definitely expect to sympathise with Karan in future like the way I'm sympathising with Rishabh now.

Anyway, clearly your understanding of things if different from mine...and that's cool. As it is, a lot of what we have said is based on speculation, like you said there's hardly anything between Karan and Preeta till now...let's see how things unfold.

You're misunderstanding my point. Yes obviously one is solely responsible for one's decisions. But you've also got to see the reasons or the factors leading up to that decision right? The influencing force behind that decision. One doesn't simply decide to commit suicide, there are events leading upto that. There's a reason behind every decision made. Rishabh's sole reason for choosing Sherlyn is Preeta and noone else. He doesn't seem like someone who cares much about society and even in the ultimate moment before putting that ring on her finger, he did try telling his mom about that. Also if you noticed, when Preeta signalled him to go ahead, he thought "Accha, toh Preeta ji yahin chahti hain ki mein yeh sagai karoon" and then he went ahead. What i am trying to say is Rishabh didn't really have any deadlock as such to take such a drastic step. You can see the events unfolding now as a result of that step and that is going to play a major role in influencing the direction that the story goes. But then again, if that didn't happen we won't be having any drama or any spice or to put it right, any "Kundali Bhagya". So i'm just gonna say he cut the ribbon to whatever is gonna follow now.
