@sammy17:
I think they are taking this too far. The CV's are playing with fire here. Do they want their heightened TRP's to take a nose dive? The only time TRP rose in this Juhi track is the last phase of RM, the Daya going down and everyone escaping RM. Let's see how much TRP this Neil is Baby Daddy and Juhi drama gets them?
As for Neil...are the CV's hell-bent on ruining their own creation? You are right not even TRP aunties would enjoy seeing this. Why would they like to see a married man egging on his ex to believe she is still very special to him? That too with no audience? Is he putting up this act for Juhi's benefit, or is he so guilt-ridden over her suicide attempt that he is willing to say anything at all to pacify her? Why doesn't he say he'll divorce his wife and marry her? What more is there left to say to make her feel better?
I too feel they are making Neil look cheap and I hope they have some intent behind it, or else they have really butchered a great character. One of the best ML's I saw on ITV, they have lowered him to this? I hope this is part of their "Grand Plan", coz if it's not, then I really don't understand what they hoped to achieve by making Neil exactly the same or even worse than some of the useless male leads on ITV. What made Neil special was that he was not like those losers. So to see him reduced to acting like one of them is really grating. THIS is why I HATE these type of "Ex-returns" "Male lead has illegitimate kid" type tracks coz they are always handled SO badly on Indian TV and makes you cringe. I was hoping NK would not show us cringe-worthy scenes with Neil and Juhi in this track. But that is exactly what they are doing.
When they said Juhi has a "Badi Majboori" I knew right away it was a kid. Nothing else was Badi enough. Some said there is no way she is hiding a kid and that is too cliched and NK CV's are not cliched. While I accepted they were not to date, I STILL knew this was a kid and unfortunately I was proven correct. Then I hoped against hope the kid is not Neil's but we see Juhi telling him it is, and to date, it "Appears" that he accepts that it is his. Yes, there is a big chance that he is not the Father. But the scenes they are subjecting us to right now, I feel the NK CV's too want to show cheap and cringe-worthy scenes for "shock factor". Whatever their motivation is, it's leaving a bad taste, and making the audience despise Neil, who was probably the most loved character on this show to date! It's truly a shame. He is starting to look like those other ML's that get told off by Mom and other family members for being an insensitive jerk but he still can't seem to change his behavior and continue to lead on two women giving neither any justice. Trying to have his cake and eat it too. I have seen it SO many times, and I really didn't want to see Neil reduced to that. NOT happy at all right now. More than Juhi, Neil is the one that looks bad right now.
