falguni's character, where is it headed?

i don't know but can her character redeem herself after the way she allowed ranveer's family to be kicked around. granted she thought ranveer attempted to rape her daughter but how was the way his parents got kicked around in any way justifiable? can't bring myself to like her much after that.
its more that we're told her character has grey shades but then she flits from one side to the other- suddenly after harshad's demise she's got this maturity and handles Ba/the kids with patience which we have never seen before. she was kind to amba before too, so why didn't she object when she was beaten. a bit disappointed with how the character is being handled, if you want to show her negative or with grey shades, fine but don't like this pendulum act.

Same here...completely agree with u...

I don't think Falguni is shown to be grey or good. She is a normal person not some mahaan mamta ki murat or epitome of idealism. She did what she could best do for the people she cared about. And she cares less about anybody else. As a mother if one of her daughter is attacked and she believed it to the core she is not only going to hate the person who did it but obviously doubt his upbringing. Not that its any way to treat a woman for the sins of her son...but Harshad too stood and watched as Amba was stepped on. He in your definition was one of the good guys. I think that situation was such that Ranveer and anyone associated with him had become the Parekh's enemies. Even today Falguni doesn't believe that her family has done anything wrong to deserve the fate they have. She is still asking God what sins they have committed. It is because she believes she punished the people who evil enough to harm her family after so many years of relationship.

@ bold: you don't need to be mahaan or ideal to say no to an atrocity that takes place in front of you. any normal person would have opposed especially seeing an elderly couple get kicked and beaten, you don't have to be rich in your morals/a saint to say no to put a stop to it. falguni disappointed me there, majorly.
like i said, i would have maybe even excused her if it was just ranveer who was getting beaten as in her eyes he was a rapist..

@ red: i don't know if you mean me when you say 'your definition' or if its a general 'your' because i didn't consider harshad a good guy. to me he was a fake good guy, he never took a stand in his life for anything other than to marry falguni. he knew of the atrocities ba used to commit on amba and ranveer yet he insisted they stay, only for his profit. i recall he said he needs ranveer otherwise there is no business without him. and yeah i felt disgust as he stood and watched but i didn't expect anything else from him as he's always been a bit of a doormat. and there's not much to ponder over where his character is headed cos well he's dead.. lol

anyway my 'concern', if you can call it that is about falguni's characterisation- its too inconsistent. earlier she was nothing short of a mrs bennet from pride and prejudice- so obsessed with getting her daughters married off, didn't even care if ishaani hindered her education in the process. she thought the sun shined out of chirag and didn't bother to check up on his background even with the accusations levied upon him and now suddenly she's suspicious about him and wants ishaani to break up with him.
earlier when she had ishaani out of wedlock and was left to pick up the pieces, it had made her bitter and overly practical. now she's back in 'poverty' well relatively.. and suddenly she's mature and patient?... bit iffy even if you reason hardships have given her more integrity.

IN my POV the whole PF is fake including Ishani. No one raised the voice when Ranveers parents were being beaten. It was Ranveer who molested Disha (as per Disha) - why his parents were punished

whole family was there,why blame falguni alone.one should be more angry with ishaani considering she was close to ranveer, not falguni

you haven't even read what i've written or tried to grasp what the point is, the discussion is not solely about ranveer's parents getting beaten up (though that was the point when i was disappointed with falguni's character), it's about the inconsistency of falguni's character- i've already listed all that.

and where have i blamed falguni alone- of course all bystanders are to blame, i blamed harshad and the family, but they didn't show inconsistency in their behaviour by not taking any action, i didn't expect anything less from them.. falguni on the other hand i thought would have had more gumption.

and ishaani wasn't even present, why would the blame go to her(for the other things and letting the blame fall on her friend, yes). i bet if falguni had been missing in action in that scene like ishaani, you would say she wasn't to blame as she wasn't there, so at least be fair in your judgement.
and if you had noticed, people are angry/dismayed at ishaani, many other discussion topics going on that say ishaani is not worthy of ranveer anymore, if you want to make ishaani the focal point please do so in another topic, this isn't about that, in the meanwhile please stick to the topic at hand.

first of all i never notice anything on this forum about ishani,so i don't know if people r angry with her or not.
i have read ur whole post ,i think u should do it too.and if u r not blaming falguni alone then i must say ur post should be on whole parekh family,since they all acted like a pendulum in ranveer's case including harsha, ishaani, cousins and chacha chachis

@bold: that made no sense, on one hand you say you've read my post and then you're not sure if i have held anyone else accountable- well i have held harshad accountable, and in my last post i said the whole family were to blame. but you are still not getting the point of the topic- its about inconsistency of character.
if you still want to talk about parikh family and their characterisations, then fine:
the chacha-chachi- well they are consistent, the first time they saw ranveer get arrested by the police and amba get burned by ba, they didn't say anything so i expected them to be spineless.

as for the middle chachi, obsessed with jewellery and wealth- she is consistent to her role, she still speaks bad english, is still money minded, senseless and there to provide comic relief.

whereas falguni on the other hand, is inconsistent after the leap and i expected more from her given that she showed kindness to amba and is capable to take a stand: read why in my previous posts, not gonna repeat it again.

and i care about falguni's character only in this topic, so why do you keep asking me to focus on other characters when you say yourself you don't notice ishaani or the others being mentioned on this forum.
like i said i expect more from falguni as she is the main supporting and for someone who appreciates the acting of the actor who plays her, i expect proper characterisation to fuel that good acting, otherwise its a moot point.
