If I have learnt something in my long journey of watching shows, whether ITV or otherwise, it's a simple fact that I watch the show with a certain sense of detachment.
I neither get very involved off-screen or onscreen. That's how it becomes easier. When you have a certain sense of detachment, nothing upsets you.
I can troll, laugh, love and indulge yet be unaffected emotionally. It's a trait that I follow in my personal life too.
This is self-preservation and sanity! The show is merely a business pursuit for the channel, and the writers will write whatever gives them money!
Rest doesn't matter.
I have always found all the characters flawed in PS from day 1.
The drama has become louder, I agree, but no character is butchered if you ask me.
1. Suman was always a hypocrite and had her skewed sense of insecurity pre-leap too. She used to do more nautanki then.
2. Gautam was a great son, a shallow key guy. The only thing he could command was on his brothers. He still doesn't understand Shiva. He had always scolded him.
3. Dhara- she was exactly like this pre leap too. Extremely loving, but she used to be this one-person army. Baat chupana. She had constantly emotionally blackmailed Shiva and still does. If you go back to my Shiva Dhara posts, he had always been more dedicated to Dhara than any of the brothers, and he always suffered in silence when it came to her.
4. Shiva was always on edge with Raavi. Raavi insulted him most of the time, and he would always be bugged by the way she made fun of him. He enjoyed her attention, but the moment she dissed him, he would feel grumpy and sad. That's what exactly it is now. He is in love and hence wanted a real relationship. Nothing has changed. Had not Shiva read her diary, maybe he would have calmed down.
I don't see anything new in his behaviour right now.
5. Raavi is still blind as a bat.
Anita-She was scheming, but she did love Gautam at a point.
The drama has become Louder, but the characters are still what they were.
I still like the show and certainly love Shiva-Dhara more than any brother bhabhi dynamics.
