Ever since the ONS happened, we have been bombarded with propaganda that there would be a leap and a beautiful new Bani would be out there. But when it did come, as they say it was too late and too little (or rather too bad)
Ideally, the leap should have been done immediately after the ONS was out.
Scenario- 1
Bani disappears after she is out of coma and escapes from the hospital. Comes back 5-6 years later as a successful businesswoman and a rival of JW. But not specifically for revenge because vengeance is not really her forte. She pretends to be cold and hostile towards JW but can never be out of love with him. Pia's presence in WM and TS's presence around Bani create misunderstandings. The two kids- Krishna and Karan (Possibly Pooch's pup but JW has got attached to it by now) play cupid between the parents.
Scenario-2
JW disappears into thin air after his shradh. Later he is baizzat buried with the unedited CD. Bani locates him 5-6 years later by which he is time he is little more than a zinda lash. Bani and Krishna then heal his wounds and bring him back to life again.
Either of the two scenarios would have been amazing. But instead they have given a trashy storyline where J-B have been completely sidelined at the expense of Adbhoot.
KSians crib about mockery being made of JW's character. But Bani has fared hardly any better.
Pre- Mental Asylum:
Calling herself Bani Dixit, CEO of WALIA group of companies.
Kathputli of Tarun Sablok, a loser lawyer and a khandaani OCD.
Mollycoddling Rapists.
Throwing tantrums at JW but running away scared everytime she sees Pia.
Indulging in BJBB activities, which got her into trouble in the first place.
Post MA
Becoming a kathputli of AD who has a hidden agenda.
Burning photos.
St. Kash may have been a very nasty character but at least she fought her own battles and did not allow herself to become a tool for Swayam Shergill or Archie (if my memory serves me correct). But Bani seems to have become a mere pawn for ADbhoot. If this is the new Bani, I think the old Amma was better.
And although I presume J-B will eventually be reunited, somehow I can see her reverting to her old ways even after all that she has suffered in the past 5-6 years.
