welcome to the forum elysia 😊 good to have you here.[/quote]
Thank you so much :) It's an awsome forum.
Now that I've read your reply and thought about it, I think that you're right about several things. I'd like to point out what I think that you're right about, and what I disagree about, if you don't mind :)
[quote]it'll be bizarre to expect rahul to have an intimate moment with her NOW when she is aman's wife, ekta wouldn't glorify extra-marital affair. for rahul.. kakun is his brother's lawfully wedded wife, his sister-in-law. he will not behave in the same fashion or manner in which he used to with her before. it would be like promoting adultery or bigamy or things like that until and unless aman's reality comes out in the open (with a aman-kk divorce) it would be quite strange to expect either rahul or kakun to be all lovey-dovey with each other. thats why both of them are keeping a safe distance hence the lack of chemistry. they themselves would feel guilty doing anything close to romance. rahul would feel like he is cheating his brother.

Yes, it would be really bizarre, because naturally it's not viewed as a positive thing to romance with your own brother's wife - or anyone else's wife for that matter. But there's no need to show intimate scenes between Rahul and Kakun, because their glances say a lot - and I know that since they're trying to keep a distance to each other, there won't be any scenes between them. But that doesn't diminish the fact that they were madly in love, and you can't just turn off such feelings like a switch. I'm missing the more natural way of distancing each other than this sudden mountain between them. I don't know if I'm making any sense here, but it's how I feel about their relationship at the moment.
As for the promoting adultery etc. I don't quite follow you, because what do we call it when Rahul - married to Kakun in the earlier episodes - was having a relationship to Naina?
[quote]now moving to devi-kk. well devi very recently went through the pain of losing her child, the daughter whom she loved for more than 20 years, the daughter who grew up in front of her eyes, devi was emotionally and mentally a lot more attached to naina than kakun. yes kk is her own blood but lets not forget devi is totally shattered by naina's sudden death to bond with kakun, who by the way is now a bahu of the punj family (devi currently hates the family for obvious reasons) on the other hand we saw devi feeling an unusual, strong and deep connection with naina oberoi, she may not be her biological daughter but she just couldnt help but find traces of her lost daughter in her. she reminded her of her own naina and that is why she was shown craving to meet naina even when she had no solid reasons for meeting. coz at those moments, she was missing naina plus the lawyer naina was the only source of some happiness, positivity she received at that time. i personally loved the whole naina.o-devi interactions. that was a beautiful nameless bond though it lasted for a short time [/quote]
I agree about her attachment to both Nainas. But I simply don't find her reaction toward Kakun normal. Devi just refound her daughter. Then she lost Naina. It would be natural of her to be afraid of losing Kakun, too, no matter how strong their bond is or isn't. She was the one to speak about how there was no difference between Naina and Kakun, that they were both her daughters, and that she wouldn't see one daughter unhappy at the cost of another. She does love Kakun, and therefore she should be afraid of losing her, which should make her somewhat overprotective. Not in the full sense of the word, but she should've shown some concern for her. We saw a little part of it in last week's episode, which was nice.
[quote]does this everyone equals to everyone? then i dont fall in this category though i watch this show and is a part of the audience as much as everyone else is was and will be. [/quote]
I apologize that I didn't make myself clearer. I meant everyone else who'd posted in this thread, of course. I can't know if the entire world thinks the same. Heh.
[quote]now who are these fans? fans can be categorized into many categories. fans who watch the show(not getting too worked up abt any issues just for the sake of watching) then we have fans of the actors, who are watching only for their favourite actors/actress and is not too bothered about the story and there are some who like a particular jodi/couple and wants to see them together to watch the romantic scenes and stuff. this is how all ekta shows basically all indian shows fans are categorized. now for kdmh, the show, each and every fan (i'd rather use the word viewer) viewer is important. for the makers each and every single viewer should be important. infact the makers try hard to increase the viewership the makers try to add more fans to their list. and by adding sanjeeda to the show, they directly attracted her fans to the show. now they got a new set of people who watches the show along with the loyal kdmh fans (who were there before) now this is a profit for ekta and team. now to make sure these new viewers dont quit watching (if they see sanjeeda is not playing anything worthy they will) so they are also focusing on her but not ignoring any other zones. the creative team will not ruin themselves by ignoring any major characters or actors coz they cant afford to 😊 now if u ask any sanjeeda fans, the screen-space, the importance of the character is very important. no fan would like his or her favourite to play extra or get no importance. i am sure as a fan (if u are of anyone) you will know it. so dear its extremely important. forget fans sometimes even a neutral person feel bad if a good actor gets wasted. iam sure fans would no way say its not important. it varies from person to person. not everyone got the same taste. what might not be important to 5 people can be very important to one person.[/quote]
You have made an important point there. And I agree with you.
But as for Sanjeeda's character, I can't agree. Yes, she did tell Kakun the truth. She did make sure that Rahul was released from the prison. But all this could've happened without the addition of her character. Things could've happened differently, but this is how Ekta wanted it to happen. I simply don't see why there's been added a new character, when there's a lot that can be done with the ones that are already existing on the show. Personally I think it's already too much with all the blackmailing Preeti has been doing - it took maybe ten minutes of the show, ten precious minutes in which I would've liked to have seen a conversation between Rahul and Kakun. I'm a die-hard fan of the jodi, so I can't help missing that.
Likewise with the Basket Ball scenes or generally the Naina scenes. I don't find watching her play Basket Ball for four minutes very interesting. Nor do I find her repetitive wondering about why Rahul would want to sacrifice so much for one woman very interesting. I don't think it's off with her character. I think it's off with the timing. Right now there's a lot of distance between Rahul and Kakun, so when I watch an episode, I hope that there will be some kind, any kind of interaction between them. When the focus is taken off either them or Aman or any of those characters that I find interesting, I get a little annoyed. I do think that Naina can become a substantial character, that there's a lot they can do with her and that Sanjeeda will show justice to her character - but the timing to focus on her is just not right for me, because I'm more interested in the conflicts between the brothers and Kakun, and especially the relationship between Devi and Kakun which has been developing beautifully since the bomb-blast episode.
