Yup, u know what, I've watched those epis only once, when it was originally aired. I've never watched those two epis even online after that. I don't think I can watch it now. I can't see madhu crying like that. It's heart wrenching. Kamina at his best.😳

Oh my! Even I've never watched those epis for d 2nd time ever. Never had d guts to watch it online again...especially d way Madhu broke down n RK trying to put up a pretense of pleasure n indifference to her sobs. 😭

Samitha, DVD look so wonderful there.
In hindsight, wish sometimes (only sometimes😆) that the serial had ended at the moment when Madhu stepped in front of RK to take the next phera.

Have managed to easily resist re-watching the unwedding, and wish I hadn't watched it the first time as well.😭

The CVs may have overestimated their own creativity, believing that anything they served up would be accepted by majority-audience - from March 2013 onwards they lost even the long rope that survived in hope of mass-acceptable developments for a month after unwedding, and from April 2013 the budgeting constraint began to show gradually.

They definitely *did* overestimate how crucial their concept and creativity were to the serial's success, while grossly *underestimating* how crucial DVD - *both* of them as a pairing - were to the serial's success until then.
Presuming that you're the one responsible for actors stardom is fine, but thinking the actors success is limited to your concept, and that your concept can be successful regardless of the actors - it's an imprudence that perhaps the channel and the CVs were vain enough for, and was a mess we had to endure from then on.

And also, they seemed to have the naive idea that 'unwedding' would be enough to get Madhu support from the massive mostly conservative majority-audience (whose support is crucial to the continuing of tracks and serials) for changing the male lead and lead-pairing.

Whereas actually if the male lead has adequate mass-connect and is more mass-popular than any of the supporting characters, then breaking the pairing is a great way to get the serial budget-shorted and then closed.

And the mass-audience has never had any qualms with condoning and forgiving mass-popular male leads for immensely more heinous conduct against the female lead and any and all other characters.
Compared to many of those provenly mass-condoned torments, the unwedding (despite the shock to many of us in the fandoms and progressive audiences) was the equivalent of a playful slap - that's the level of acceptable atrocity by mass-popular male leads.
Even what Raja did to JM has been condoned many times in many successful tracks - a track flops in viewership-amount only if the female lead is shown reacting as JM was.

After separation of a mass-popular lead-pairing, the female lead's popularity increases if she is shown in the 'Sita in Ashok-vaatika' mode - no other man acceptable in her life, nothing which the mass-audience can consider as such hints.

From the unwedding onwards into the first few days of March 2013, the MEIEJ CVs were careful to adhere to this.
But from the moment they started to think that they were in some alternate universe where India's massive millions of mass-audience were supposedly feminists, and Madhu's conduct was ascribable as 'unintended hints' by the conservative mass-audience, RK got mass-support for getting her back without even an apology.

Wish they had instead started the heroine-track in Feb 2013 when Madhu was considered a perfect wife (prioritizing her husband over all other people, and with successful marriage).
Unhappy marriage or separation = female-lead wife's career to be terminated within approx 3 months (if there are any exceptions in mass-viewership serials, can't remember them). This is applicable only to female-leads. (Female supporting-characters can have a life and career that can be a feminist's dream).
Instead, happy marriage and dutiful loving wife that had been consolidate into January 2013 was the perfect setting for a longlasting stardom for Madhu, with the powerful not-majboor husband insisting on his adoring wife entering filmworld and co-starring with him.

So long as she not be shown professionally more financially successful (husband must not earn less than her or equal to her, but always more than her) or acting with any other man, the career would have been secured from viewership-blow, and she could have been shown continuously as the most successful actress and we could have had more than a year of tracks set on RK-Madhu in filmworld with those sorts of tracks, with excellent mass-viewership and thence decent to excellent budget.

I was reallyvery happy to see the promo...I always loved each and every promo of MB...it makes me feel like the show is still on...😳

Very true, leela di.

Leela di n Samitha, I completely agree wid u guys.
I'd always wanted n expected them to start d heroine track right after d revenge track...It would have been d perfect timing for it, considering that it was supposedly, d main theme of d show. They could have continued d story of Rishbala's ishq n junoon, amidst d backdrop of d film industry...it would've been a visual treat for us to watch...we could've got some beautiful sequences, had this been followed by d so-called creatives of d show.
RK's ban was d dumbest idea to kick start d heroine track...
But probably they'd lost their creative wisdom right from d Sultan track, which they stretched unnecessarily. They could've ended it wid Rishbala's wedding, but no!
After Rishbala's wedding, they messed up each n every track.
