Aditi is doing a good job with those scenes but I wish it was genuinely a mental disease or a disorder that they had used here to make her display her acting chops, even if they had to give her a Dissociative Identity Disorder, she could have been shown as acting in a completely different way; not this.
I remember one of the earliest shows that had a side character suffer from Split personality disorder was in a show called Jyoti. The main character’s younger sister was so psychologically damaged in it. She usually comes across as a very timid, shy and docile girl, the kind who would cry if you so much as stared at her angrily or yelled at her. But she has a different personality that is shown as a very confident girl, the kind that goes to clubs, drinks, parties and even wouldn’t mind arguing and hitting strangers.
Given that Mittali’s father is practically non-existent so far, her personality disorder could have easily been something related with that aspect of her life. Maybe she could have been shown as having a different personality whose mental state is very childish or one who in the absence of a father, latches onto older men and probably has no qualms about having an affair with a man old enough to be her father, for once someone who is not Mihir. The guy may or may not even know she’s mentally unstable; could simply see her as a willing young woman eager to get in his bed.
Mittali could have easily been shown as a compulsive liar or a gambling addict or into drugs or a chain smoker or a hundred other things that would have been absolutely valid grounds for Angad to have second thoughts about marrying her and finally calling the whole thing off… but they go for this which doesn’t even fit in with the narrative or genre of Kyunki.
Can’t believe that Tulsi having a random guy as her long lost son who just so happens to run a drug empire was more believable and convincing than whatever this nonsense is.
The fact that Angad was more concerned about Vrinda than be terrified about what he witnessed and more importantly heard his fiancé sound like doesn’t help this plot one bit. Even if you’re not willing to admit that you have the hots for an ex-employee whom you just saved from getting assaulted, if you witness your fiancé act the way Mittali did, heard her sound like she did - that should still scare the living daylights out of you! Angad doesn’t even seem concerned about Mittali!
Honestly, this is the worst plotted cop-out of an engagement that I’ve ever seen on an Ekta show, and I bloody grew up watching Kyunki, Kahaani and Kasauti simultaneously!
