Why is Madhu/Mukund not liked? [DT Note: Pg 16] - Page 2

I totally agree with your post...i have no reason to not like Mukund or like him for that matter, but i do find hating on him a bit extreme. But u do know the answer to your question don't u? Its because Mukund is your good guy-next-door whilst RK is the hero and badass to boot! No matter how many times women get hurt, they will still be attracted to the bad guy than the good guy! All that talk of girls looking for someone like their daddy has become old news (no offence to girls with daddies like RK!! 😆)

And on top of that...RK's got the looks, the bod, the dramatic entries, the expressions, the background music, the superstar tag...not to mention that he has already been touted as the male lead. What can the average female viewer do but drool?! D'you know when Hrithik Roshan became the craze in early 2000s, so many girls left their bfs coz they weren't macho enough or good-looking enough?!

But yea, its just silly, stupid human nature! Also I think its because most of us haven't a chance in hell of meeting a dark, brooding, dashing man like RK (sorry girls, there is an oversupply of Mukunds in real life...which honestly is something to be thankful about!)...so they fantastise and idolise a character like RK.

Wow...sorry for the essay...!! Just deciphering human nature but am sure u know all of this already 😛

@Azmatazz... yep I agree that a character such as mukund was required in the story.. but more for Madhu than for anything else..

Cause however contrary it may sound to my opinion of how they are mismatched, its natural for the simple and unambitious character of Madhu to find a companion in Mukund, to accept him with all his shortcomings.

As for her stubbornness , i agree, its the genes and the truck load of history that comes with it;).. In fact this incident is the trigger that would unmask the fighter in her..

I suppose all you need to create a hit jodi is to cast a dashing bloke, with a Salman Khan-esque body and plenty of dramatic dialogues/scenes/music. The character, ofcourse, hardly ever matters on Indian television.

I have no idea where this obsession with dark, passionate and star-crossed love stories has originated from. Heck, I would prefer Kekta's melodramatic and cliched love stories over this unhealthy obsession any day. It's not just in India, and Twilight is probably the best example of that.

Sorry for going off on a tangent here, but hating a jodi simply because the lead actor is not good enough to be fantasized about, is just silly. But I guess that's how it is.

hello there.. while i do visit this part of the forum daily, i too haven't posted more than a couple times i think..

anyway, sidelined I am sure you are not:).. Even I started watching this show wiith an open mind although my reasons were a bit on the off side;)..(I didn't expect much of Vivian Dsena honestly).. so..

But when Mukund made an entry, I could see why Madhu will be in a way, drawn towards him(the way they firs met, the bus scene, the pepper spray were quite sweet actually).. although, this liking she has for him,I would attribute more to compassion, now (his accident and the obvious lack of understanding from his family) .. and this is what made me start disliking Mukund for Madhu ..

its not a crime being an average guy, like Madhu says.. but Mukund's constant self-depreciation irks me. The way he blew up feeling all sorry for himself when Madhu's family and friends threw him out,,

I was willing to overlook that too, given the circumstances that he did leave the previous company even though they were pleased with his work just to take responsibility,.. yes, it was an honest effort..

but later on in the hospital, he cut a very sorry figure somehow.. acting out to get his parent's sympathy, lying dumb when Madhu and his parents do the arguing with the cop.. even , wanting to let the perpetrator walk and not lodge a complaint against him..

To put it straight, with every episode , Madhu comes out stronger and more determined, and his character is a bit too weak to match up to her.. so while its interesting to see Madhu getting drawn in into the battle , and into his family unknowingly, I am definitely not looking for a romantic kind of bonding between them, cause they are just not in the same league.

I just don't get why the most people are hating on Mukund.. there's nothinggg to hate about... he's cute,simple.. the interaction between Mukund and Madhu the same... sometimes I just don't understand people or better say girls.. even if I'm one myself.. 😆
