As much as I enjoyed and loved NAUC, I have to say, the CVs were SHIT at writing grey characters. For them, characters only existed in two extremes: good and bad. And if you actually analyze it, I think you can actually pin-point the good and bad moments of all characters.

Like take Viren. Viren started out as bad. We didn't like him. But then after daard-e-disco, he immediately switched to good. It was like a tubelight went off in him.

Same with Dada Ji. He started off good. But then slowly morphed into bad with her tyranny. Stayed bad with whole retirement drama. But then immediately came into good books again.

Vimla had fallen victim to this. She started off as the good, nice oldest bahu. But then with Aman initial entrance, turned extremely bad to the point where many of us members didn't like her.

Mohan could perhaps be classified as grey. But there wasn't really enough scenes of him to really say that. Rupan was the only major character who had potential to be grey, within the GF. But CVs even messed that up. In fact, all the grey characters were just completely ruined.

In fact, the forum's laadla Kabir also started out as grey. He wasn't willing to help Chandu initially. He didn't want to be married to Nisha. But then slowly he too was made into this white good character who only did good things. I HATED goody-two shoes Kabir. For me, the entire essence of Kabir was his kamina paan. But slowly, even that was lost.

Sumit is another example. He was shown to initially love Dolly and attempt to stop his mother from yelling at Dolly (he took Dolly with him to their room when Dolly and Leela got into a spat because Leela was being unreasonable). But he also had a meaner, less wholesome side with the whole Ritesh-daring-Nisha-kiss fiasco, the whole showing up to his wedding drunk, etc. But with FJ, he was turned into this criminal who had no remorse. Ridiculous.

Viraj too. Started off as this "prince charming," and morphed into psycho obsessive lover. No in between.

So I think the CVs of this PH really need to take a lesson in how to craft grey characters. They had wonderful bases built in Rupan, Kabir, and even to an extent in Mohan. But they squandered it away and ruined it.

Isha! Nicely written...But you missed out on the biggest grey character- Shekhs (My Shahenshah) 😆😆

I actually remember...I made a post long back on the character of Rupan and how interesting she is. She is real. She can be selfish and good at the same time. But CVs turned her stupid and evil plotting against her own kids - Umesh and Aman...and later Nisha also.

Viren and Dadaji...Somehow remained grey and not that bad. They definitely were fluctuating but Dadaji was the best at the initial days...He ws Ok till even retirement drama...but after that...He was made a dummy...He didn't say anything for CM? How weird was that.

I loved Vimla as Cake...but cake mode was buried gradually which was Ok.

Forum ka laadla...😆😆 Kabir...I don't know...Yes he went through a draastic change from being a kameena to Kabir bahu...He became a typical male lead kind...Just that his rapport with Nisha was more friendly rather than husbandly...😆

Viraj toh...CVs took the psycho behavior too far...he was Ok even till Nisha's marriage...but later...and then the saviour mode again..😆

CVs definitely messed up Rupan, Shekhs, Kabir and Viraj.

Yes I forgot all about bechara Ritesh, even after discussing him in the other thread 🤣

Real talk tho -- Ritesh was actually one of the best bases for a grey character. His occupation with Nisha was really interesting. He cared for her but he also saw her as a goal he wanted to achieve. The makings of a great character squashed by entry of VV 😆

I know you really liked him LOL -- but I was so disappointed with Sheks. What he could've been and what he ended up as! His entry was really great. I actually really enjoyed his shadiness -- more than Gayatri for sure 😆 But then his vendetta was revealed to be kinda stupid and the huge bad side of Viraj that had been hinted as turned out to be phuss 😆

...I think I remember that Rupan post. Great minds think alike 😆

Viren used to fluctuate, but near the end, idk. He only went to 2 extreme for me. Extremely mean or extremely nice. Just my opinion tho. Could be wrong LOL.

Kabir didn't become typical male lead yaar. He became typical female lead -- you mentioned it yourself: Kabir bahu 😆 LOL forreal tho, yeah you have a point. I deff enjoyed that friend rapport tho, much more than the husband rapport 😕

We also forgot to mention how Ritesh was ruined 😆
