Not a fan of Sarika

Sarika has never been a strong person true. However its not clear if she ever had any relationship with Param. All we know is he harassed her at work. The rest of it Sarika has to prove herself I agree. Though dont see why she should be like Ishita. She can just be a better version of herself. Frankly only one self righteous social worker bahu is more than what the Bhallas can handle. 😃

I think CV's have really messed up this track and Romi's character... It is simply not possible that a family with values would have a son like Romi who shows such range of shades.. Sometimes they'll show that he doesn't respect women, then they will show him have true feelings for Sarika and then this track..

I think Aly should think a lot before doing any kind of script because with this track surely is doing no good to his career.. He is somewhere in between; neither good nor bad...He is portraying a very wierd kind of character who, with such kinds of tracks, at the end would gain no empathy from audience...

I was looking for a love story between Romi and Sarika but now its totally gone...

Hello my IF friends!

Now, I know this topic may be controversial, but I really wanted to express my thoughts. I didn't mind Sarika at first. I was totally in favor of her, and felt bad that she'd also been a victim of Param's dirty ways. However, over time, I've lost a lot of sympathy and patience for her character, partly because I don't really understand her or her motivations.

I know Romy is to blame for a lot of what's happening, BUT Sarika also has a role to play. I also don't really see her being a great Bahu for the Bhalla family. If you compare her character to Ishita, they are not very alike.

Here are the reasons for my viewpoint:

1. When the Param thing happened, instead of being a strong and assertive young woman, Sarika decided to take no action, and helped put the blame on Ishita. Yes, she was being blackmailed by Param, but I didn't see any ounce of her having any integrity in this situation. She only stood up and told the truth when Raman promised to support her.

2. She received countless warnings about Romy - from Raman and Ishita. It's not as if she was a naive and totally innocent girl being lured into his clutches. She willingly took part in everything with him. At one point, she went to farmhouse alone with him and there was a lot of drama because of this. At the farmhouse, when she was framed with Romy, she didn't take this situation as a warning that she should probably keep her distance from him and the Bhallas. She clearly knew, at this point, that no one supported her relationship with him. In fact, Raman even told her, in very clear terms.

3. She is supposed to be a strong, caring, and intelligent woman, who takes care of her mother. Then why haven't we witnessed any scenes of her being strong, or caring, or intelligent? She's come across as a hopeless fool who lands herself in compromising situations. First, she had a relationship with Param. Now, she'd had a relationship with his brother-in-law, Romy. I don't think it's wrong to assume that both of these relationships were likely intimate. Why seek relationships with two men from the same family? Does this situation not have a "red flag" all over it?

4. Mrs. Bhalla did have a point. Why has Sarika been pestering Romy about the baby so privately? If she shared such a friendship with Ishita (in fact, Ishita has even defended her on several occasions), then why didn't she tell her? Why didn't she tell someone in Romy's family? If Romy is treating her so poorly, shouldn't she confide in someone she can trust? Furthermore, if she doesn't want his family involved, then why did she send the pregnancy report to their house under the name 'S Bhalla'?

5. Why did she agree to meet Ashok? Have they even met before? If she was so private and secretive about the baby issue (she didn't even tell Ishita) then why is she so willing to meet with Ashok about it? How can he help her in a way that Raman or Ishita couldn't?

6. Her secretive nature rings alarm bells. I can't help but think she has ulterior motives. Does she want to marry Romy because of his family's, or more specifically, Raman's wealth? Is she really completely naive that easily falls for men? Is she truly pregnant? Why is she so secretive about things?

7. I haven't really found very many cool qualities in Sarika. Yes, at one point, she helped Romy and Ishita get Raman's presidentship back. But what else do we know about her? What are her amazing qualities that make us, as the audience, truly root for her?

8. Of course, what has happened to Sarika is completely WRONG. No one should trick a girl and get her pregnant, and then try to ditch her. That is 100% wrong. As someone who actually was really liking Romy's character, I can't help but feel really shocked and disappointed. However, I want MORE of a reason to root for Sarika. I don't want to think of her as a BECHAARI. I would love to see her act with some intelligence, honesty, and integrity.

What do you guys think? Am I being too harsh on Sarika? I would love to hear your thoughts.

Note: I am in NO WAY supporting what Romy did. I think that he needs to take responsibility for his actions. This post is more about my lack of liking for Sarika, as a character.
