I Think We Need To Give Bella Some Time...

I think we, as in the whole of fandom is being rather harsh on Bella. I know for the fact that I have judged her too harshly far too many times. Although I was by no means happy with the way she let Yuvi/Vik damage her reputation in front of the family, I think other aspects she can be excused.
She was a bit suspicious of the way Vik came and she blamed him for not reaching out to her soon enough.

She did not fall for his Mahir killed naagrani ma crap.

She did not fall for the Mahir set you up for molestation crap.

Although she had nothing but hatred for Mahir, she did not fail to notice that he is good human being. Remember that scene where the whole family was shifting to Sumi ma's mother's house? As she was packing she was thinking about all that Mahir has done.I distinctly remember her thinking that just because he did a couple of good deeds, that doesn't make him a good person. Despite her hatred she noticed his good deeds.

She did not let her best friend and ex-lover manipulate her into killing Mahir. Especially after Vik's return. She refused to kill him as she believed him to innocent. She could have been easily swayed if she had been stupid.

Although she did not know the rules of Naaglok, she acted with great brains when the time came. And it can be excused that she thought that those dreams were nothing but dreams only. She saw her mother die in front of her eyes. She had no hopes of ever meeting her mother. And with N ma being so cryptic, she thought the dreams were simply a reflection of her fears.

She seems well aware of her strengths and weaknesses. She knew of her weakness during the skin change phase, and so she wore the trishul to prevent anything wrong from happening. She knew right from the beginning that Vik would do something o trap her. That's seriously smart.


Bella is shown to be a Naagin with a heart, unlike Vish. She thinks things through before acting on it. So during the thinking process she appears dumb and weak. But she is a true and just ruler. Let hundred criminals go unpunished but one innocent should not get punished. I am sure she will come out of this one too. Let's just give some time.

Let's cut the girl some slack guys. She is going through a lot. I know for the fact that we all love her and that's why we are a bit harsh on her character but at the end of the day it's the cvs who get to have the last laugh. So far her character graph has been quite a consistent one. Let's hope it stays that way.

Res
Apologies for delayed inputs.

I agree.
We have been too strict with bela, I guess the two for it are
1. We majorly see the story transcend through her eyes so her flaws are very readily seen, but we forget that we also see the story as a third person observer and gain fine details and knowledge about other characters and their background,which she isn't privy too!
2. Before the beginning of the real story, we have already accepted her as the women, The naagrani and have put her on a pedestal. We sometimes fail to see that she has been victim of treachery. She has suffered from personal post traumatic experiences because of her golden heart, which is why is wary of her new decisions.
3. To an extent bela is a introvert, she is very social with people when she wants to be but she rarely is personal with people. She has limited number of people in her life with whom she has been personal, one on one, two of those people have blatantly betrayed her and one of them was assumed dead till recently. She is not very vocal with her feelings and that is okay, not everyone is same. It is very hard to change ones nature,
4. To a certain degree I feel some decisions for her have been made by the writers to drag the particular tracks to give a dramatic climax. I feel sorry for this because the price for this tactic is being paid by her character dismantling.
5. She is a woman of spine, she doesn't fall into the group of a classic heroine. She is no damsel in distress, so she is not going to act like one. She is obstinate and has very high morals but with a golden heart. This equation makes things troublesome for her.

Agree to a large extent, Ash. Well written.

Have more to add, in a while. But I love that girl!

*mine*

I'm still gathering my thoughts on this...

I've had complaints only with her lack of reaction towards Yuvi's crap and advances. She just let him take her away whenever he felt like it and spew nonsense infront of Mahir... Of course she trusted Vik then and probably was feeling guilty too for moving on, but that doesn't warrant her to let Yuvi insult Mahir through her, he no way deserved that suffering.

But once she caught onto Vik's game, I have had no complaints with her. Not even her no more objecting his touchy feely stuff because, She completely knows the danger and is trapped. Earlier, I really couldn't find any excuse for her behaviour - It was like Mahir asked, problem when he touches but not when Yuvi does... Din't make sense and was a very uncomfortable watch coz there was no valid justification.

She is alone in this battle... She could let Mahir only a little into it. He is more of a psychological comfort. But she is trying her best to keep up a good fight and is managing to talk herself out of Vikku's manipulations. But she is alone, and the enemies are too many. Why isn't she taking aghori's help?
She is defending her fort well but to defeat her enemies she has to be on the offensive than being defensive, for which she needs help. She should take a bold step and tell her truth. I'm hoping she'd come to that conclusion sooner than later.

Will come back to edit again...

Nice analysis...and I kind of agree with all of it...I know I was harsh abt her too..but the only thing I was harsh abt was letting Yuvi/vik be all touchy feely and letting him damage her reputation and hurt Mahir while she is frustratingly silent...and that she did..no excuse...but I understand everything else...her actions, thoughts...and u know what from the day Vikku tried to kill naagrani maa, it's like her thinking period is over since she found out Vikku is fraud...and my happy time started...so now I can give her all the time she needs...

Hey guys, I did not mention the fact that she is taking Mahir for granted as that is a different thing all together.

I have been critical of bela more then once

I criticize her for mostly yuvi/vikrant touching her and her not objecting those moves

We have seen what she is capable of as a person and naagrani and they were showing her not so smart for lack of a better word

So viewers like me were not okay with it. Character of bela wasn't consistent

Bela does take Mahir for granted!!

We celebrate good and criticize not so good

I didn't like Vik in the form of Yuvi being all touchy with her. Now that Mahir has got to know that he is fake Yuvi, Bela needs to be given some time. No issues as far as Behir are together. Hope she confesses soon so that Mahir wouldn't have anymore confusion. At times we may feel Bela is dumb, but she has been smart in important situations like using belpatra to escape from Shaan's hypnotization or wearing trishul to reduce poison effect.
