Madhu - What's the point anyway?

In theory, I like the idea of Madhu. A sister to Dutta...a connection that helps him make peace with the memory of his father, of the changed man his father had become, how people can and do change in life after making mistakes. She adds a dimension to his personal development, his past...separate from what LTL has always been about--Naku "changing" him.

However, I dislike this character for a couple of reasons:
1) she came in at the wrong time...it makes sense for her to come after DP's death, but her bubbliness after her father died a terrible death made her look like an idiot. And the CVs explanation didn't cut it with me....that she really didn't see her father...so what? Does that mean she has no basic respect for a man who made sure she had a good life, education, etc? Hell, we on this forum mourned more for DP than she.😆

2) her actions upon arrival....it was so SUPER CHEESY for her to be there to go wedding shopping and have girly talks with her bhabhi and all this cutesy stuff with Baji. And that whole thing about her wanting Dutta to marry the day after his father died. Kya baat hain, CVs? Did you leave your good taste at home that day? Arre, I'll say it--it was all so dumb that it defies LOGIC.

The LTL CVs, writers are MASTERS of characterization...of adding depth, mystery, emotion...yet they utterly failed this character and what she could have been. Now she's just this empty shell of a person who lives in the niwas with no point of existing. It's just bizarre to introduce someone as CLOSE as a sister to Dutta and then to have her just hang around the niwas and attend wedding functions.

I'm sorry, I'm not sure why they are paying Soni Singh. They have no real story for her...she's just like Jagpat and Anna and the lot of them who come to CONVENIENTLY help Dutta and Naku get closer and then drop dead. Perhaps, she should have eaten that poisoned mithai...at least then she would have had a purpose.

I'm very disappointed. I expected more. And if Madhu now all of a sudden is the messenger of peace between Dutta and Naku, I'm going to be even more disappointed. Such a situation is so typical of these serials. Do us a favor, CVs. Let Madhu lie quietly until Dutta comes back....don't turn her into a Sherlock Holmes who helps Baji discover the truth....just have her be there when Dutta gets back and let him and her get to know each other and about their father. And let us see her personality, sincerity, etc. Because right now, she's a total BOBBLEHEAD....I expect her to say to Naku, after Dutta leaves the house, "do you want to go shopping?" Because if a death can't stop the good times of shopping, then what's a little thing like Dutta leaving the house angry?😆

I agree with you.. some how character is not developed properly. I think once dutta leaves the house... nakku will be crying a lot, some one is needed to consolve her,,May be madhu will do tht.
Personally i donot have any attachment towards Madhu's character.. if she suddenly starts giving bhashan to Dutta or nakku or start spying.. i cannot take it. With Bajji also.. not sure how she will get connected,,

i agree with what all of you have said. i think they should work on givign her more dialogues, interaction with Dutta, Bajji and Nakku. If she is to play a big role in post FR, she has to have developed some sort of connection with these people. she has talked to Nakku but with Dutta not a word and she has been flirting with Bajji.
Instead of this, they should have shown her trying to talk to DUtta, asking her explain why he hates her so much. It is not her fault that their father cheated him.
also post FR, she has to be shown as a mature girl who listens to Nakku, and also at the same time understands what Dutta must be going through. If she remians the bubbaly happy go lucky girl, then it will be hard to tolerate her.
I think we will see her role post FR once Dutta leaves. She might overhear the ET talking and realize that her brother is their victim.
I think she is better off reaizing that if her brother could not forgive his wife, it will be years before he acepts a sister in his life and pack her bags and go back to london.
I guess we have to belive that the CVs have a role for this girl and it will come clear in the coming weeks.

LMAO....awesome post.....I believe this signature by make-believe describes my feelings best on the topic of Madhu(makkhi)



Seriously what a lamely sketched character.....I don't see any point to her either....she might as well fade into the wallpaper....all she does is bounce up at RANDOM moments to act all chirpy and "Bhaiyya mohe accept kar lo na" types😆

Parul! its not only abt the character .. If the actors fails to contribute then Cvs have to take away the focus to other important characters... The actress has failed miserably in my opinion... and i hope PH soon realizes that and better take a step ...

Couldn't agree more. Madhu has been introduced apparently as a positive character in nakku and dutta's life not causing them any problems like the other sisters!

Yes her timing of entry could have been better and definitely should have shown remorse for her fathers death even if she did share a close relationship with him…. Her over the top enthusiasm to be accepted into the family has not been assimilated well and she may have some hidden agenda which will come out in due course

I guess if AS , kala n all denied truth of knowing nakusha's real face. Then only madhu can be the savior in this scenario........if they have planned nakusha dutta seperation, then atleast we should see madhu playing some role here.......rather than acting sweety candy, she should try to read n analyze things as to why AS hide this truth to dutta......, convo with baji about this thing, gettin to know kala n her role in making mess of dutta's life....now I feel kala was also involved in seema's fiasco besides sups. if they did not utilize her here, then she is not required in LTL.......
