His redemption track will prolly focus on that. And as far as preeta goes, it's like she respects Rishab and is attracted to or maybe actually started to like Karan as more than a friend because of everything he did for her. But I completely get where you are coming and yeah,the way he is been behaving since about rishab's wedding is pretty toxic. Like initially it was understandable because he failed to save Rishab from sherlyn so he was taking his anger out on preeta. After that it was out right absurd and obnoxious. (1)So he believes that preeta wouldn't have harmed mahira who she has absolutely no relationship with and is actually her rival but he doesn't believe that she had nothing to do with Mahesh's condition whom she considers as her own father? Then again Karan isn't essentially a bad person, he wanted to expose prithvi more badly than sherlyn and he was actually doing it because be cared for her. And the difference between Karan and Rishab is that Karan is always willing to go over the edge to help people close to him. He lets his temper get over him most times and the fact that he is an egomaniac doesn't help either and it's terrible combo.
Again back to preeta, she is a little innocent in the romance and relationship stuff. Besides the reason why I think there's possibility of Rishab and preeta at some point is because at the end of the day preeta isn't someone's who marries just for love or something. All she wants is someone who respects her and someone she can trust. And Rishab ticks both these boxes and both of them value family and responsibilities. (2)Like Rishab fulfills his responsibilities towards sherlyn no matter what. It feels a little like rishab's love for preeta has turned into total respect as a really good friend. So to me it feels like even if Rishab and preeta get married ( after Karan giving his blessings to Rishab and his family is not entirely against it) it'd still be temporary. Because as compatible as they are they aren't as passionate or they don't challenge each other at all and no matter whether srishti says something or not preeta still feels different around Karan and srishti just exaggerates it and tries to make her understand. And Rishab cannot instill those feelings in her. At the end of the day you can have a friend who gets and understands you but you need to have a partner who does that and challenges you. And when I meant challenge I don't mean Karan's fights or anything :3 like srishti and sameer are compatible and a little childish but they still have that spark. the only other shows I have watched are bade ache lagte Hain and kkb so in balh, ram and Priya essentially have the same beliefs and qualities except for the fact that he is rich. But they still challenged each other though they were very compatible. It's like that. Sometimes I just feel like they should introduce a new character who has the best qualities of both the Luthra brothers combined. I really like rishab-preeta together even more than preeran tbh,I just wish they had shown passion there as well in a different way.
(3)Then again at the end of the day, it depends on what the cvs are trying to go for. KB is different in the sense that unlike other shows even after like 700 episodes we are still on the fence about who is the main couple. So if ekta wanted to show something different like a relationship of just immense respect and understanding then Rishab would be it. But knowing (4)ekta,she mostly sticks to the cliches. Let's see. And I am really really really really sorry for the rant guysss,just have so much to say😭
DON'T BE SORRY!! This is amazing! The FORUM IS FINALLY ALIVE!
This is exactly the sort of discussion I have always wanted to have. I mean clearly we see the show in two very different perspectives but that is GREAT. Which means that for one the makers are successful in what they were trying to do but also in the sense that there is so much more to agree and disagree on.😃
So coming to the bold part (1)- Karan is complex but he is also simple in the sense that he believes what he see's and once he see's he can't unsee. Also, he is a little classist and a egomaniac like Kareena, but once he makes a commitment he tries his best to keep his end of the bargain. HOWEVER, just like Kareena, Karan can also do anything for his family. Although, one could say that his Achilles heel is his ego, but his true strength and weekness is Rishabh. Similar to how Rishabh and Preeta's true weekness and strength are their mother's for Shrishti and Karan it is their respective older sibling. Now, coming to the point of Karan believing Preeta did not push Mahira but he believed that Preeta pushed Mahesh has two-fold reason. First of all Mahira during that entire track played it really smart, she herself did NOT directly blame Preeta for anything, it was technically Sherlyn but even more importantly Karan found it easier to believe that Preeta wouldn't go to that level of extreme for him. Hence, although he was initially confused he did ultimately change his mind the SINGLE moment at the police station when he saw that the evidence for 're-arresting' Preeta was brought by none other than Sherlyn. Karan has been like this from the very beginning, I mean he did NOT believe Preeta when she said Sherlyn was the one who mixed rat poison in her own engagement but when he found evidence himself that Sherlyn did what she did he has not trusted her since. But the issue regarding Mahesh is a lot simpler. As I have already said Karan is a lot like Kareena, he is classist and he believes people that he believes. Mahira is one of the people that he believes, because at the end of the day she IS HIS CHILDHOOD friend AND FAN. When Mahira directly blamed Preeta for pushing Mahesh Luthra he had no reason to not believe her.
(2) Rishabh and Preeta are basically the male and female versions of each other. I believe if only practicality, compatibility and realistic criteria for a successful life partner is what they had to choose from Rishabh and Preeta would choose each other, but ALAS, this is not a realistic life partner show. This show is called 'Kundali Bhagya' aka Horoscope Fate or Fate and horoscope, however one wants to put it. The reality is Karan has because of Preeta's fate entered in her life. As we have all seen for over a year now it has not been a very good fate for her. 😭 The probability of Rishabh and Preeta marrying each other while Karan is still alive is absurd and impossible. Rishabh would NEVER in a million years do that to Karan. There is a reason why the makers have shown him to be a PreeRan shipper. Similarly, I genuinely believe becoming a RishTa shipper is the path he would take as his redemption. But Preeta isn't a toy or a trophy to be exchanged between two brothers. SHE SHOULD LEAVE THEM BOTH AT THAT POINT.
(3) Kundali Bhagya is different in the sense that despite the constant fake promotional barage of Karan and Preeta and all the award functions and the ridiculous amount of fan-service for Karan and Preeta fans in the show without any heed to the plot, they still end up showing very moving and truly emotional scenes between Rishabh and Preeta. As thou they don't want it to die for some reason.
(4) Ekta does stick to cliches. check out her love triangles they are basically all the same.
Cheers👍🏼
