Preeta & Shrishti - What's up with them?

Preeta and Shrishti grew up with their dad. But as grown adults, they lived with Sarla & Beeji. I am sure Sarla explained to them that she had to dump her cheating husband. Similarly Beeji quite a lot of moms walked out with Sarla to support her.

This is the best lesson both the sisters got from their own mom & grandmother. Self-respect, Don't tolerate any sort of abuse, cheating, etc.

During Preeran's first marriage, Sarla advised her to break her marriage, and rightly so as it happened under false circumstances. Again with the second marriage, she was not happy. But ultimately gave at the insistence of Preeta & Shrishti.

Preeta thought she was marrying Prithvi but it turned out to be Karan.

Karan thought he was marrying Mahira but it turned out to be Preeta.

In contrast with the Rishta marriage, both knew clearly they were getting married to each other, and under the circumstances, they were not exactly happy about it yet they accepted it.

The Varmala scene of Rishta happened among people under much happier circumstances both happily performing the ritual.

Okay, I digress here. Coming back to the Arora sisters, let me discuss Shrishti first.

Shrishti was so much in awe of Karan, the Luthras that she kept pushing for Preeta to accept Karan when Karan was at his worst at various times. No sane woman would do that to any other woman much less her sister.

Now, she is constantly suspicious of Sameer if he even looks at a woman to the point of extreme annoyance to Sameer & audience. Rishabh is being an absolute idiot by blindly supporting Shrishti thinking Sameer is not making her feel secure.

Shrishti admits she loves Sameer but is unable to trust him.

Karan kept on with his almost shaadis but Shrishti still supported him. Never once told Preeta, Leave it, this is not worth it.

With Arjun at the party, is she really that incompetent that she has to ask for help from a guest at the party to get the cake? So many family members and Servants are there, but she goes to Arjun. When Anjali is irritated she feels offended and continues her borderline innocent flirting. Same Anjali she abused when she thought Sameer was hitting on her. But the rules don't apply to her? What sort of nonsense character has Shrishti become?

She is this close to proving Kareena Bua's assessment and her misgivings about her Right.

Now let us come to Preeta.

A well-educated strong woman is reduced to a doormat, for what love? Which woman would be so forgiving to the guy who dumped her in the middle of the road on the night of their wedding and had no regrets? She never confided in him as she knew he would ask for proof or whatever reason she had and complicated things for herself and everyone.

Most of the time during Preeran marriage, Preeta spent proving her character, love, and loyalty to him and dealing with the almost shaadis.

All in the name of love? This is beyond ridiculous so much so a lot of us are completely disconnected from her.

Preeta loved Karan but never really trusted him.

Post marriage with Rishabh, we see a different Preeta.

Preeta does not love Rishabh but she absolutely trusts Rishabh.

She Rushes to tell him everything knowing he will believe her, he would understand and help her out if need be.

Of course, 5 years later we often see her bawling her eyes out as if she is leading a torturous life now. I get it she loved Karan but she has not once compared for a nanosecond the security & respect she enjoys with Rishabh compared to Karan.

Creates a whole scene if she has to dress up for a party with him but expects everything from him. Mind Chalo at least Beeji drilled some sense into her and at least she realized how she is being a tad unfair to Rishabh and their marriage, especially at a party.

Now for me, the most puzzling part and I would be surprised/happy if the writers are thinking this deeply while writing it even if it is unintentional.

She is drawn to Arjun, as he reminds him of Karan. Of course, he is Karan.

Karan is still oscillating between loving and hating her as Arjun. That part has not changed.

She is constantly advising Anjali to quit her job which frankly is none of her business as she barely knows Anjali.

Now for some of the audience, it might be that she is jealous of Anjali being close to Arjun as he is Karan.

But if you notice she is pointing out constantly what is wrong with Arjun. She would do the same to Karan but still, she fell for him.

But assessing Arjun as a third person, what Anjali puts up with she is voicing out what is wrong with him and their relationship. She even prayed that Anjali does not end up with Arjun as she seems to be a sweet person.

So it is easier to judge and accept what is wrong with Arjun but let it slide when the same traits were exhibited by Karan?

Knowing Preeta there might not be any self-introspection but hopefully, someone points out to her that everything she finds wrong with Arjun was wrong with Karan too.

So will Preeta admit Karan didn't treat her right all the time?

Love is just enough for a healthy relationship?

Will she value what she has with Rishabh?

Will she at least acknowledge what was wrong in their marriage?

I know the answer will mostly be no, but for the audience, it is important to connect with the characters. Frankly, currently, both the sisters are at their worst characterization in the show right now.

They have to course correct both as they are becoming extremely unlikeable.

I have literally given up on FLs of ITV so tbh Preeta doesn't disappoint me anymore. As you rightly said any sane mind can see she has more stability and security with Rishabh than she ever had or will have with Karan. But despite all that, she would always yearn for Karan. I feel after a certain point in time, any human being who has gone through so much would give up on the so-called LOVE. Love just vanishes in absence of lack of trust and mutual respect. A partner who is unwilling to listen, who does not give importance to your POVs and does not give any benefit of doubt, ends up making situations very difficult. Life becomes exhausting after so much trying without any positive end result. But Preeta goes on and on. People like Rishabh may not even be there as an option for many people out there, however, our TV and even movies keep on running on the " good girls like bad boys" trope. Let's not even talk about the fact that Preeta was once shown to be a doctor.

Coming to Srishti, she is annoying as hell. Her only work is to push Preeta towards Karan. I saw a few past episodes where I think before her second marriage, she was thrown out of the house and Srishti was persistently asking Preeta di kya aap Karan ko bhool paoge, aapki ankhon mein aansu kyon hai ?? I was like so what even if it is difficult to forget Karan, she still needs to move on. So what if she feels like crying? People cry because bad things happen to them, they still have to go ahead in their lives rather than look back. Just because someone misses their partner or is crying doesn't always mean we need to need to push them toward taking a wrong choice again and again. Her suggestion should have been - behen ro le par aage badh. But it doesn't happen.

Angst is the only method the writers know of creating chemistry. In the absence of good writing, chemistry is the only thing that keeps on running the show. A stable, calm, peaceful relationship will be an ideal thing but even that would require drama to keep the show going and the producers to keep earning. To create drama between Rishabh and Preeta, you need good writing as you cannot hamper Rishabh's character like you can with Karan. So they take an easy route. Keep swinging Karan's character here and there till the audience exhausts and finally moves on. It makes me think, that they either lack the talent to write a good story or they feel that there will be no takers of a nice, healthy relationship that has a supporting partner, who behaves respectfully, talks softly, and is very polite as a person.

Preeta ke baare me kam bolo toh hi acha hai ....Self respect ka suicide karne ka race me Balaji shows heroines me top hai woh aise thodi na woh position kisi aur ko dega

I do agree with what you said about Shrishti. Even if Preeta is not able to think clearly, she should have been the one to guide her in the direction. Karan’s was repetitive behaviour and that should have been seen as a red flag.

That is what bothers me most, where does one draw the line? What is the message that is sent across? Put up with all sort of mental, emotional or physical abuse just so you believe the guy loves me, woh Sudhar jaayega.

I don’t watch Anupama but have seen some sone clips. If Anupama nearing 50 can finally find her standing, get married why couldn’t Preeta?

Even in Friday’s episode ( epi is out) it is like dealing with split personality when it comes to her.

For instance as usual Preeta stumbles( Pretty sure, she never stumbled once around Rishabh past 5 years) in the party. Arjun catches her.

Tapsee looks at them and as does everyone, momentary awkwardness as she comments, Preejun looks like made for each other couple.

Rishabh to the rescue ofcourse.

He cheerfully explains to her that Arjun is a bit late as Preeta is already married to him.

Later Arjun points out that she is spending more time with Arjun, avoiding Rishabh and being at the party.

Preeta guiltily remembers Beeji’s words and joins Rishabh, but spends time equally looking at Rishabh & Arjun.

Honestly, I don’t see much difference between Sherlyn & Preeta now.

So True. Sherlyn better hai yaar.

She has only loved Prithvi but never put up with any nonsense from Prithvi.

Ignoring their criminal activities for a moment, Prithlyn have a much healthier relationship compared to Preeran or Rishta even.

this is the true fact bomb of Kundali Bhagya

Prithvi and Sherlyn have 'the' relationship of the show!

Anupama tolerated all kinds of insults till middle age more than preeta.anupama left her husband only when he cheated her.here karan has not cheated preeta by having EMA.thats why preeta is not leaving karan like anupama left her husband.

Sahi pekde hain🤣🤣🤣

Good analysis on preeta shrishti character equation.

They don't make sense coz their traits goes according to ratings.

If preeta have self respect and never return to lutra then how drama will carry on.

If preeta loves rishab and not karan then how will she face challenges to keep saving her marriage

Itvs glorifies toxicity and regressive content for drama and ratings. Money making.

We can rant and get tired but still they won't change their concept.

It is not necessary to stretch a drama for thousands of episodes and make a crap out of it when u can actually produce at least 500 episodes of a good healthy story and later move on to season two of it when the generation leap takes place.

Actors need work and money. So longevity is good stability for them. But even they get affected when their characters face personal attacks . They get disheartened and leave. Sometimes their future career is also affected. That's why they are careful with the script offered to them

The PH should think of money making by balancing the positive and negative.

Ekta's glorication of story telling is gone

Only her bhagyas sustained lately in the trp race

The latest ones didn't survive long.

Molkki. Namak ishq. And now even Parineeti.

She is using same concept in all her shows. Public are bored like hell. Toxic MLs doormat FLs

Once bhagyas are over, she will have nothing to show.

For rishta fans, a piece of advice.

Don't keep too much hope.

I was one of the optimistic ones when the leap started, thinking there would be space for rishta later but the story is now glorifying preeran more.

Please save ur heartbreaks

The only twist would be preeta having a change in heart after losing rishab. But less chance.

She is still being paired with karan. The writers are obsessed with preeran to stretch the story coz they think rishta is boring and no story telling when in actual there is scope. Bunch of id***.

It's better to imagine rishab with a new girl.🤣🤣

I have started.

Last night i dreamed about drashti dhammi entering kundali as new FL for Manit .

She enters as Gayathri. The new cook.

Rishab got attracted to her at first sight and felt something was changing in him

Rishab started sneaking on her secretly giving excuses to preeta driver will send kavya to school etc

So before they bring preeran on board, rishab should fall for another woman so when karan 's revelations happens, he happily hands over preeta to her ex.🤣🤣🤣

He married Preeta thinking he was marrying Preeta. Pretty sure Mahira had no plans to do bhajan at night with Karan.

Just because he didn’t do EMA doesn’t justify the way Karan treated Preeta even towards the end.

Even now he doesn’t have the courage to go upto Rishta and question them. He believed Natasha & Sherlyn. Even though he was one of the first to know about Prithlyn affair.

Seems like Karan has been insecure about Rishabh as a better person and Preeta’s love for him. No wonder he jumps to the worst conclusion each time.

Equal number of divorces happen because of emotional & mental abuse.

Chalo maan liya he thinks Rishta had an affair and tried to kill him. As Arjun he sees rest of the family still mourning for him. Atleast for them he can say he is still alive.

But his ego doesn’t allow it. Getting emotional when he sees them is not enough. He is doing nothing to liberate them from this pain.

Honestly Preeran deserve each other. Both are selfish abd continue to use Rishabh as always.

Oh and Rishabh deserves this too, he has always enabled them. Toh bhugto Ab!
