from 'bold' to boring

I dont follow the show no more but happened to catch a bit of it recent, and agree completely with peoples thoughts on the forum, certainly Trisha is no angel! and the show lacks real zest even though it promised to be bold, it began on a good note but gradually yielded to the common typical tropes played out in indian soaps, with your helpless but all perfect bahu, admired by the good people, against the bad guys who only incline to bad actions because they are bad people and have to portray such badness
Amrita is delusional about Trisha and her belief in the absolute innocence of her blatantly spoiled daughter and her own inflated superiority and pretentiousness often masks the reality, she is a human prone to mistakes but everyone seems to want to brush that aside and glorify her -(people like Kushaan and his kids)..As a mum she is not perfect as is promoted by herself and others, it is obvious that there is something lacking in the parenting, eg Sanya, being reared up by the maid shows how much care and time Amrita has to bring her up herself, and with Trisha, her behavior speaks for itself but Amrita is ready to ignore less conspicuous facts about Trisha, like her demeaning attitude to others, and her not respecting the teacher in school lessons. Prateek is not the only one that is guilty, yet he is being made the villain and all the blame falls on his shoulders
So this becomes yet another depth-less immature and underdeveloped story of good people fighting bad people rather than a complexity of human characters, though some like Lavanya tend to bring this across in their characterization, owing to her brilliance in acting rather than any deliberation in the story/plot/writing
and unfortunately Varsha comes across too lovelorn and desperate although thats probably not what they are aiming for either way, it feels rather superficial in approach.

True!
LAT had started as an ultra bold show with shocking themes like incest, gay relations, EMAs etc.

But later probably there were protests against the boldness, though we never heard of any. The PH toned down the boldness so much that they had to give absurd explanations for the cousins love and gay affair was completely deleted from the show.
Now its all abt the Sanskari bahu Amrita making all the bad kids sanskari...it looks very fake when Meghan and Vivaan act sanskari. 😆

They just want to make it family drama. I also don't no why because of the trp. They want families to watch their show. But I think in starting lat was best. Me too don't like the family drama. Lat started on a big unique concept. Why they change whole concept. I also don't heard any protest regarding lat. They don't have to change the concept.

i agree, its losing the plot, they messed up the characters also and try to hide the negative aspects of the ones they favour like amrita and trisha, both whom are flat and one-dimensional

Yep, amrita is extremely flat, she has no duality within her that makes one appreciate her as a real character,
the fact that she boasts of how good she is as a mum (proved in some past episodes) is laughable, as laughable as when she was laughing at someones recount of Trisha misbehaving in lessons when she was disrupting the teacher- Yep Im not going to forget that telling detail that just speaks of what sort of a 😡mum she really is!!!

This is the one thing I noticed from the beg. of the show...and also stated

Amrita has zero depth as a character and she is still re-livng her "Maine Pyar Kiya" image ...the sweet docile innocent "girl"

Bhagz..you are a WOMAN...not a 16 year old!

The reason Trisha is now being shown as a goody goody is so Amrita looks good...she is sooo good..she can end world war!

I actually understand where Lavz and Sonali are coming from...I would get annoyed if I had a SIL like Amrita interfering in my personal matters

I was wondering why Gaurav is not "coming out" ..what happened to his boytoy?

Seriously because Bhagz wants to maintain a certain image..and because it is her..not Trisha..that is the star of the show...she must be shown in a positive light at all times..including having a good child so she can mentor other mothers on how they are screwing up

show turned bakwaas really fast

Amrita is still a show piece ..prancing around in pretty clothes

I DONT want Kabir ending up with her at all

the show is self centered on Amrita/Bhagz ...that I stopped watching it

Kabir and his shrink make a cute couple..and they should end up together

i dont even like varsha, her character is too predictable and contrived, and a relationship between her and kabir seems so forced, why did they have to make her like kabir, could have just kept her as a friend?
kabir need not end up with anyone, really annoys me when cvs play cupid, as if no other relationship matters.

Amrita is a flat, one-dimensional character in the midst of much more complex, interesting, layered characters!
Shes Mrs. Goody Two shoes, the archetypal Always forgiving, sacrificing and suffering heroine! Mahaanta ka Bhoot savaar hai! 🥱

Even after Prateek treated her like dirt, shes defending him so vociferously like a typical Pativrata Bharatiya Naari! 😔
Any wife in her place would have left the house or stopped talking to him.

Strange thing was her reaction on seeing those pics of Trisha tied up and suffering at the hands of the kidnappers...Amrita's reaction was very low key, I had expected her to break down and cry...but she was shockingly calm and more occupied in arguing with Kabir abt Prateek's innocence??.😕

So true I don't understand why they even bother to start something if they cannot stay true to the story? As usual they have screwed up this one too. So what's new huh? So stupid and annoying why do they do this even Gaurav's issue is swept under the carpet. As far as Amrita and Kabeer are concerned, she has become the Bharatiya nari, pati parmeshwar. Very very disappointed. I wonder sometimes why I even bother and waste my time. We start watching with much interest thinking okay finally something different on TV. But seriously no one in the industry has the courage to take a different route. Very sad.
