Haan, I see your point, but to me, this isn't karma. Yes, karma is torturous but it's also about getting the result of your own actions. In this situation, karma would be if Bani fell in love with Veer and he decided (in his own mind) that nah, I've had enough and I'm moving on. If he had the intention of giving up on her, giving her a taste of that same medicine, to my mind, that would be karma. This is basically like some imposter wearing Veer's face punishing her for a crime against the guy he's posing as. Makes no sense. That's what gets me.
Yes, I get your point that perhaps Bani needed to feel the pain that Veer felt at her actions towards him, and that the irony is it happens now when she's fully in love with him. But we've already had that before with the Chandni track, and moreover, here Veer's treatment of Bani comes because some random dude waved a magic wand and made him forget everything that defined his character (i.e. his love for and obsession with Bani/Naageshwari). So it doesn't feel like karma so much as emotional manipulation. Yeah, totally calling out the shitty writing here with you.
I also understand that having seen both sides, you feel more for Veer because of how she treated him. But that's the point - we saw both sides. In their early interactions Veer took pains to keep referring to himself as the villain - no wonder she took him at face value. It took Bani a long time to see what we saw, call it due to her own blind hatred, or the manipulations of everyone around her, or a lack of support from anyone who could actually give her answers. Whatever the reasons.
And I guess for me, what I saw was that during all this, Veer gave Bani the understanding that a lot of people in the audience didn't. He gave her his patience, his love, his time. Not for one second did he express a desire to get back at her for what she said or did. So the writers doing this now feels (to me) cruel, rather than poetic justice. Esp. because we've already seen this play out once already.
I do get that from your POV, you see this as something that was due to Bani as a result of her actions. And perhaps that's why you can't relate to her misery now. I'm not disagreeing with that opinion necessarily, it's yours to have and I'm sure others share it also. Personally I think this is the wrong time, wrong situation and wrong way for the writers to throw karmic retribution at Bani. Veer kare toh thik bhi hai, par Veer ko puppet bana kar koi aur uss se karwai...yeh galat lagta hai mujhko 😒
100% agreeing with the point that it is the wrong timing.
I don't know, yaar, my idea of karma is that in someway or it other it hits you back.
But agreeing with your point that now the timing is wrong.
And plus they aren't exactly portraying the Bani that Veer fell in love with. That muh-phat, ziddi and completely firecracker Bani. When she decided, she's decided. She's going to do it with a steel backbone. She used to have the backbone of a steel. Agar if it was the Bani that Veer was madly out for. I just don't relate to her crying misery. I'm like. Okay dude, blah blah blah..... Just end this already. I want my Cheelu baby back
