Re: Mita's life prior to Ashok - Page 2

No i can't see Mita Parents being supportive. They never done it when She was young and now with a baby that they wanted her to abort, I dont think so. If they were supportive Parents Mita would have been much different for sure. She dropped out of School when they sent her to boarding school instead of looking after her.

For me, this whole backstory of Mita was an after thought. From how her parents behaved just before her wedding, it seemed that they were only upset with her being with a married man, not that they’ve disowned her and never had time for her most of her life. A few weeks ago she also told ashok that she was her father’s princess, so how can she have been ignored and still be her fathers princess - it’s a bit of a contradiction. It seems that maybe the makers have come up with a back story of the abortion and stuff just for this scene, to have ashok accuse her, which then sets babita off to defend her after recalling herself being on the receiving end of Ashoka accusations also. If mitas parents disowned her due to falling pregnant at 16 and running away from boarding school, why would they then disown her again after finding out she’s in a relationship with a married man. It makes no sense whatsoever. It a very poorly thought out end to an amazing character, who they shoved in our face and got us to like and then created this unrealistic background for her which didn’t match the strong confident women she was introduced as, also forgetting references that were made early on about her which doesn’t match this sudden backstory. Who knows what was the point of this, considering she’s about to exit!

I have to agree..something is amiss

The show is beginning to lose its charm a bit and I too am finding editing rushed

Last two episodes I have found Babes acting to be a bit forced

I think they need a small leap in the show now to show Babes as the owner of a successful business woman, Mini in her early 20s and completely write out the Khurannas. HS and Babes can be engaged(I personally want to see all the wedding festivities and a few subtle romantic moments) before or after leap.

Personally I think this should have been a Web series. This way they could have done seasons..wouldn't have had to be so rushed

I agree with everyone who has said there is inconsistency with Meeta's backstory. Her parent's up until this point were shown as supportive but disapproving of her life choices. Now to create an insta-bond the story has been changed.

Meeta grew up in London - having a relationship at 16 or even having sex is not uncommon in Western society. She grew up there and would most likely have owned her sexuality. I am not sure why the writers are making it seem like she committed the biggest moral faux pas out there. It's silly and very out of touch with reality of life today - both abroad and in India.

Yes, falling pregnant would have been problematic (especially at 16) but having an abortion at that age is common sense. Meeta had her whole life ahead of her and honestly despite what everyone believes and says love is not enough to raise a child on. You need to have financial and emotional stability too. I have sympathy for Meeta, she clearly was emotionally vulnerable when Ashok took advantage of her but the writers should have done a better job fleshing out that vulnerability. A sudden "traumatic" childhood doesn't hold much weight.

Also, the backstory isn't that traumatic. Many kids grow up in households where both parents work and are absent through most of the day. They find a way to cope with the help of friends and hobbies. I understand that no two people react or behave the same way when it comes to a situation but to make her vulnerability compelling, this to me came across as weak.

Coming to Babita's reaction - I am not surprised that she was selfish. It's easy to believe that all of us would be magnanimous when confronted with our husband's second wife but even in cases where no one has cheated people have found it hard to get along. So, it's not surprising at all. Also, while Babita loves her daughter and in general has aimed to do what's best for her, I don't believe she's necessarily a great parent at the moment. She is prone to emotional outbursts and often needs Minnie to parent her - which is a lot to ask of a 17 year old. Minnie herself has unresolved issues. She is dealing with the sense of abandonment from her father, the weight of her mother's problems and of course her own teenage angst. While she may be mature for her age, Minnie is still the child in need of guidance and the adults around her are failing her.

Agree. Makers look very confused as to which direction they want the show to go. All of a sudden they gave a backstory to a character they are about to send packing. The editing was horrible. The scenes are haphazard. It has gone from being realistic to unrealistic. I don't know in which world a catering business can survive the way it is being shown in the show. Babita is shown as shooting videos or getting angry with HS or giving lectures. Her business is magically running by GOd knows whom. HS haveli has become dharamshala. I love HS but I will say he is very unrealistic character too. Lovely being mean to Mita made no sense. Ashok being shown so low is not needed. Although whatever Babita said today was good, but it seemed like a Professor giving lecture rather than a woman rebuking a man for his misdemeanor. The direction is shoddy. I have seen this happening in Sony shows when the channel warns the PH to either increase Trp or perish. Sony is so notorious for that. Last week and today did not give me good vibes at all. Something is definitely wrong. 😕

unplanned tracks often resort to this , sadly this was an important track where so much could hv done , the analogue of central characters was to be explored finely . also it could hv given good TRP boost .

Just for the sake of mitas exit from the show, they have given this unrelatable backstory of mitas parents being unsupportive. In the past mita herself had agreed that since her parents came to know ashok being married, they backed off. I am a bit dissappointed with this storyline of rushing things. Instead they could have shown mita owning up to her mistakes of making wrong choices in life and moving back to london to her parents. Her parents were shown as nice people, who did not trust ashok for fooling their daughter. Also they tried to make meeta understand her foolishness. I did not like this sudden blame game makers came up with for hunars exit from the show. I really love this show. We got to see very practical and sensible ways with which we could resolve issues. This show even challenged patriarchal mindset existing in our society. I never expected makers to make mita this bechari character suddenly just for the sake of her exit😔

@ bold i completely agree with you on this. babita seems to be clipping minnies wings. she wants to go out and study but babita gives her weird looks and she stops. she cant see hanuman get close to minnie. She slaps her without listening to her side of story. She first sends her to her grandparents and then asks her to stay with them for lunch and in turn gets disappointed that she has come back after eating. i find her so unstable due to her insecurity and jealousy.

Minnie has done a lot for her, at an age where most parents do a lot for their kids, here its been the vice versa. Even with setting up her business Minnie has been most helpful & i see her even ignoring her studies for it. And its the same with her grand parents. her dadu asked her savings deposit at a time when she was supposed to be needing it for her college fees. So clearly the adults around her are failing her. And thank god for hanuman singh, Minnie at least has some adult to look up to who treats her like a child and does things for her happiness.

@bold pretty sure you're not the only one. 😃

Babita can't bring herself to like the woman.

I don't know why it is important for her to understand Mita? What difference will it make to her life?

Why judge her for not wanting to?
