Futhermore people are allowed to air their views and opinions in whatever form or fashion..What may be rude and insulting to you may not be so to another.Some may think they are frank,candid and outrite...there is a sying in my country Plain Talk and bad manners...But at the end of the day its just words we use to express our emotions and feelings about a show...At the end of the day how an earth can we be disrespectfu,rude or even demeaning when its the person's role and character we are objecting to?As everyone says its fiction?So who is going to be offended?

People are using vacabulary such as "DEMEANING",how an earth can giving your views on your perception and observation of a character will make you lower your DIGNITY/REPUTATION ?????

Jernelle 05 what is exactly your definition of" BASHING"?

Just because i dont like something and i have the guts to speak about it whether it satisfies peoples's opinion on it doesnt mean i bashed anyone...

Eeven in exams they ask students to critique and analyse the questions ... so what is wrong if someone wants to criticise performance/roles/character...We grow stronger when we know what we have to work on...

You people just have too much Free Time... Get some jobs and if you have get a second job... Utilize your time wisely...

Characters don't get paid, actors get paid to play characters. Actors are not held responsible here but characters are always meant to be either appreciated or criticized.

If we are going to talk about "multidimensional" characters then there are only handful of those. Savita, Sachin, Ovi, Tej, Varsha. These characters are often portrayed as bad but when you analyze them they have many good qualities. They make you wonder why they behave a certain way? They have a character graph where they can be improved, they can be changed. They can either become villains or they can easily be redeemed into positive characters unlike other villains of the show like Manju's family, Punni..etc

Characters like Archana, Sulochana, Purvi are written as the pure white characters. They are written in a way where there is nothing to analyze, there isn't much complexity in their characters. They are caricatures. Because no matter what the story line is they will always do what every other sati savitri on Indian television has been doing for ages. They are suppose to be the force of good. So when they have selfish traits it appears to be much worse. Characters like Savita, Sachin don't pretend to be compassionate toward every person on earth. They don't act like they are the treasury of good values. So they are allowed a little more flexibility on these issues. So when they are selfish they are just being their characters. But when characters like Purvi is selfish, which by the way she totally is, it is out of her character sketch. I felt like slapping her that she would even dare to ask Manav to do her Kanyadaan. That's despicable.

Guess "Who is selfish" has become now a trend setter in the forum 😆..I think its better if we all let Ekta/CV's decide on which of their created characters are selfish.After all they are the parents of these characters,they are their creators..So lets leave it to the parents to let them decide whats best for their children so that we all can have less headache.😉..

Besides I guess we all have to keep our brains out and give it a rest from thinking while watching PR anyways..

Thanks Jene for the thread..You are trying your best dear to bring in some peace..Kudos to you for trying dear..😊
