I completely agree with everything you had to say..I know we crib about the story but at the end of the day we all have to agree that writing for a daily show is no easy feat..You are bound by TRPs and you cannot let your creative juices flow without a care in the world..So yes, very tricky job..And even more so when you are writing for a show which literally caters to viewers of all ages..And Anantika has done a fine job indeed of trying to find the perfect balance between AnYa, and family drama, while at the same time allowing each character to breathe and grow..In a short span of time she has shown both the protagonists maturing up, taking a stand for what they believe in, which I am very happy about! She has especially done wonders with Anant, the tantrummy, irresponsible, ziddi boy is long gone, to be replaced by a man who can go to any extent to protect the girl he loves and her family from his own family's clutches..
She has also done a very good job with subplots..I for once am loving Renu's track..Loved how she didn't wallow in self misery and instead chose to keep on fighting, keep on living, to show the world that a woman can do perfectly fine without a man by her side..
So more power to Anantika..She took over when things were dreary, tangled, and seriously messed up and she has managed to resurrect the show wonderfully..👏
