@ blockhead
100% in agreement with each and every line of your's. I made a similiar post just yesterday in another thread.
Your take on critics, harping on and on and on and on and on (hahaha) about ''cliches'' , romantic dances, Megha's character taking a hit with all this bedroom drama and stufff!!, is so correct; some much needed words of wisdom for those who keep jumping to wrong and frustration-derived conclusions.
First these critics place this show on a mis-constructed pedestal, pedestal with unrealistic hopes, hopes that should be placed with reality tv rather than a tv soap which in other words is called FICTION!! The team behind this show never claimed to be pioneers of such over-discussed ''logical reality tv''!! Why when this show has given so many good moments for us to enjoy and be happy about? why this happiness and love for the show are only always temporary? always trashed at the first sign of some cliched scene or the love expressed from the hero just because they weren't expecting him to express himself that way lol!! Just because the show is titled 'na bole tum...', some ppl think that hero should go mute and lady deaf so that they keep talking in sign language always 😆 seriously is that what you expect lol? funny ppl 😊
As far as widow's character going to such lengths to help mohan is concerned, even staying in the same room..oh come on!!! Megha's character is always right up there at the very top of everyone's 'to-bash' list. People might talk about how open-minded they are in real life but their mind-set about the lifestyle practised by widows in our society and culture is evident from the way megha's character being a widow, is always under strict scrutiny of their magnifying glasses, which tends to magnify every light or fun act of her ten times!!😆 Always Megha is the one in the wrong, whether it's as a mother (telling her kids to call mohan papa for one day), or as a widow now, or as a woman who supposedly doesn't have any female radar instincts(as per prateek track). Oh such judgemental viewers! they love to hate this show, describe the leading characters degradingly and still can't help but watch every episode..👏 good going!
