U know what is funnier?

On the last epi while minnie left that letter, i knew they will show babes rose again after that much needed lecture from minnie Which minnie will find out after her parent's death .& i think They are doing exactly that in season 2.

But i really dont get what was the need for that anyway? Her learning curves could have been shown in a better way with all the actors present in the story & also by not taking things to the extremes.But the sadist makers had to go their way.sigh.

As i have repeatedly said Before, no other itv show effected & later on disappointed me so much like PB.

I totally understand. Season 2 seems to be set up based on regrets and lost opportunities. It's an extended 'if only'.

When I saw what Babita did during the factory episodes, especially in terms of applying Chanakya's teachings in her own way, and then the catering business episodes in the initial days when they got the order approved by the commissioner, etc. I thought we were going to see how she struggles to grow her business and how she learns to deal with Khatri and the likes, maybe even how after a point Ashok's existence is really meaningless to her and how she becomes the kind of mother and role model to Minnie that she never got. But nope! NOTHING of that sort happened.

Sure there were some traits of Babita's that were evident from day one, such as her obsession with log kya kahenge and her tendency to be self-absorbed, but KK not only took these to ridiculous extremes, they also introduced new ones through contrived situations that pissed me off repeatedly.

I think from the sharaabi episodes onwards I saw the decline in Babita's character arc. I thought it was a glitch but it went on and on through the Imarti track, then the wedding weeks, and then all the way until the end. I was so disappointed with what they did that I just gave up expecting anything. ITV in general seems unable to provide and present well-balanced and realistic FLs. I didn't expect Superwoman, or a perfect Babita. I wanted to see her growth and learning curve, her application of the Forward Spiral theory, without which all of HS' teachings would be meaningless anyway. And at the end they made both HS and Babita's efforts meaningless.

I personal fought my battle towards independence and living life on my own terms so I always cheer other women who are starting on the same path. I wanted to cheer for Babita, and was able to for a little while until KK ripped the pom poms from my hands.

Don't get me wrong. I have no issues with unhappy or tragic endings but the way to get there should have been reasonable. It was fine if they wanted to show Babita's ego getting the better of her, but they could have shown perhaps how becoming a big businesswoman made her arrogant or careless about her personal life or whatever. They could have shown her being so self-absorbed about her success or about money that she started neglecting her family, her marriage. It would have made far more sense than showing her becoming more regressive and steeped in 'traditions' after all she went through. The premise of the show was misleading; rather they misled us from episode 170 onward with all the twists and turns.

I don't remember ever being this disappointed with a show. The woman in me has been so offended that after a point I decided not to even bother arguing for or against the decline in Babita's character as it was futile. They did the same with HS after the wedding and much as I love this character, I think I was far more affected by what they did to Babita's character.

Woman in me gave up long before but Mother in me was extremely disappointed by the end. They killed a mother’s essence in a worst possible way. All of Babita’s decisions had Mini factor involved. All her steps had Mini’s thoughts behind. The mother who did everything for her daughter and coz of the encouragement of the same daughter did not even look at her last time before she left. Brutal. And now apparently she did change in implied mode. 🤔

This implied thing is what ruined a great deal of episodes. I just choose to ignore the post-wedding arcs as truth. TRP obsession did them in, followed by their internal politics. The story suffered and so did we. I refuse to believe that a woman like Babita could do what they showed us towards the end. It's so ridiculous that it doesn't even deserve dissection.

Aakhir KK ki baat sach nikli - ek aurat hi dusri aurat ka sabse bada dushman hoti hai.
