Basically we can all talk about how noorie depends on arjun and needs to stop doing that, or saying that it is noori's fault she got into this whole mess that she is having to marry shanks to protect arjun because she followed arjun around despite her father's warning, but that is not a flaw of noorie's character, rather we all forget that because arjun is the main character and that the cv's brains are hardwired to make the main character seem important at all time they intentionally make arjun the centre of every character's life in some way.

Noorie will remain dependent on arjun for protection and every other character will continue to be obsessed with arjun in some way or form just to always keep arjun in the centre of everything, so the next time any of you question why noorie puts up with her father's over-contolling nature instead of trying to be independent or why her father is obsessed with ruining arjun's life, the answer is simple; the cv's don't care about giving the other character's in the show their own life or side story, they want the whole focus to be on arjun. And even if the cv's did show noorie become independent and showing her rebelling against her father by taking responsibility for herself, viewers will be uninterested in seeing noorie and her father's family drama unless arjun is a center of it.

The way noorie's character is shaped is shaped that way due to the stereotypical view that women are in fact damsels in distress and a guy will always have to save her, and considering this is a male oriented show the cv's are bound to make arjun noorie's saviour regardless of whether you like it or not, because that it how many of these superhero style shows and movie's are. A mysterious boy with superhuman abilities and a fragile human girl who gets into dangers and he always comes to protect.

I know quite a few people dislike her character because she is always after arjun even though her father forbids her and she still meets him even though her father threatens his life. All the things people dislike about noorie are specifically to meet the stereotype of the main character having an integral role in every aspect of the story and having to save the main girl from danger all the time. Regardless of whether you like her or not, noorie is a representation of every damsel in distress character that cv's love to add to spice up the story and the cv's are not going to listen to viewer criticism to shape the way they want to tell the story or change characters just because you find them irritating. Noorie is now an integral part of arjun's story as his love interest just as much as his other family members, friends and villians are.

All the points you guys make about noorie's character being annoying will have no value to the cv's because you are forgetting that characters like noorie exist in every serial for viewers pleasure of seeing a girl being saved by a guy and they want the guys to save her which is why they are showing noorie as care free and dependant on arjun and unless they feel like it, they will not change this aspect of noorie and will keep her as a damsel in distress who wants to be around arjun whether anybody likes it or not.

And that is exactly why we dont like her because she is a stereo typical image of what girls and women are supposed to be in the Indian Society. Technically your right that the cvs are to be blamed here for that but story wise as shaped by the cvs it is Noori's fault and this is something you cannot deny! I initially liked Noori when she seemed like a person who could take charge and make things happen or in other words when she displayed admirable leadership qualities in the first episode. However later as she was portrayed as someone careless and not carefree who likes to depend on guys and has no better work to do besides hunting for a husband who unfortunately here happens to be Arjun. You say audience likes watching a girl be a damsel in distress well maybe its true only to a point but this only works for movies but even there the female characters have evolved into women that break these stereotypes and this is a serial. Even if its a male dominated show introducing a weak female character is unacceptable. As viewers we all try to relate to the characters we watch on tv and somehow aspire to be somewhat like them, you tell me how is encouraging girls to depend on guys 24x7 right in any sense as shown here?? Since I believe you get the point I'm trying to put across I'm not gonna continue any further.

Actually Arjun alone isnt the center of the show. Astika even if he's the negative character is central to the show's plot with Shankachurna being the third wheel. Even Mohini receives a lot of importance from the cvs. And I disagree with you over the audience being uninterested in Noori's progress as an independent character! If you watch action thrillers in the west then you'll find quite a lot of strong female characters there as well who would do anything but be a damsel in distress unless its a situation that really cant be helped, Not just this I follow a lot of animes where mostly the story plot revolves around a guy but he is often supported by a female character who is strong enough to defend herself without the help of the guy and those shows are superhits if you ask me and are currently in demand in India as well. The only thing that can redeem Noori here is if she actually stands up to her father and I mean STAND UP not rebel and start figuring out what she's gonna do with her life. Besides this a family secret of her own and some conncection to the mytho world would also be a plus otherwise I find her character somewhat unnecessary. You want Arjun to get a girlfriend sure he can get any random to be his girlfriend for that sake but then we'll have nothing to watch really.

There is no common sense to it. That's indian serials for you. To be practical we should neither take characters seriously or expect cv's to follow logic. If that was the case, shows like ssk, sns and swaragini would not be on the top of the trp charts.

And Why do you think that happens?? if I'm not mistaken India is a country that thrives on the youth of its population. In other words majority of the country's population is young yet the trps seems to suggest that the youth and especially girls are interested in shows like ssk, sns and swaragini, when there are shows that actually caters to their age group. There are good shows in the country and producers do try to come up with new concepts but the reason they fail is because most of us believe its an indian offering so it wont be that good and blah blah hence the show suffers. Why are reality shows doing good in terms of numbers?? and who watches these reality shows?? ofcourse young people like you and me. I highly that only doubt aunties or old people watch shows like ssk and swaragini. Many times even the channel plays a part in how successful a show is going to be.

I know its just a drama but it's just that I have really high expectations considering the hype they created for this show. And I also feel sad that we don't have any tv series in India that we can be proud to declare as a national favourite and not just a section's favourite. You see mass media heavily influences people and even if it's a lie people have a tendency to believe in those lies. As fiction is nothing but our route of escape from this stressful sad world. I have noticed movies like this appeal to young people which is why we end up getting better movies so I am just sad that the same isn't happening for the tv industry considering that tv is also my daily escape from the reality. Of course shapeshifting snakes are not real but neither are vampires or werewolves they are just a figment of our imagination and personal expectations which is why we tend to get emotionally attached to the shows and the characters featured in them.. In other words, nothing really seems to encourage sensible television in India due to poor trps which is very sad.😔

Because youth shows don't pull in trp's. It's all the older women like housewives and jobless women who take over the tv so younger people like me have no choice but to watch online. Channel V will now revert back to the way it used to be apparently.

Why don't they invent an online TV channel catering to the youth?? I suppose that could earn pretty good ratings online. Don't online ratings count?? I mean what does hotstar exist for exactly??

Hotstar is only available to watch in india. They could introduce it internationally and put ads in the epi videos like they do on tv for breaks to make money.
