Swara - Memory loss or character loss?

So, I still have to catch a few middle episodes of Swaragini after when Swara returns but reading the WU and watching a few ending episodes/ OLV's and reading discussion I just feel the writers are being unfair to Swara as a character with this track.


Before memory loss:

Swara had memory loss and not character loss. From the start when the show was introduced, she always had this hidden detective inside of her that poked her nose in anything fishy and solved it. She wanted good for everyone and saw reason in everything. She was smart, good with doubts and believed in people she loved.

This is what Swara Bose (later Swara Maheshwari) is as a character.


After memory loss:

Losing her memory has turned her character like 180 degree. Maybe her mind is overpowering her heart and what she remembers is just too strong but how is memory loss related to personality?

Having memory loss does not change what you actually are and last I checked Swara remembered most part of her life before her mother's marriage where she was still (detective in heart) and trusted her parents and whatever they said. She always saw reason and gave people benefit of doubt but after losing her memory, her character has just been ruined.

She won't trust her own parents and sister on what the real truth is. She won't see reason in anything. I mean she knows that she had memory loss which means a lot of her life is missing, a lot she does not know about but her loved ones do so instead of believing in them and actually giving them the benefit of doubt and trying to see reason, she is coming into Sahil's words (a guy she barely knows) and not believing her own parents and sister.

Since when was Sahil more important to Swara than her parents. (INFACT: Since when people came first and family later?)


Swara who was so smart, so intelligent, who wanted to get at the bottom of everything, how could she not try to find out what actually happened rather than just sitting in one plays in denial or hanging around with a psychopath (although that is not her fault since she does not know that) . Memory loss track would have been interesting to watch if they were keeping Swara's character like it originally was rather than changing it completely. It's like Swara has become a girl we barely know anymore.

Yeah, she is concerned sometimes about Sanskaar, wants to make her family happy and caring but where are the other traits that we loved her for? Why is she not trying to figure out everything. If she had complete memory loss I would understand but then even, a person does not change personality wise. Their habits and personality remains the same in one way or the other but this track is changing Swara as a whole and that's what I don't like.

I wish Swara was back to being smart and started her detective activities and I would be so much happier with that.


This is just my opinion because I can't see Swara as a character who is more convinced by her own truth despite her family saying that it is wrong. I can't see Swara as a dumb character because whatever they are making her do and act nowadays shows her as dumb (and that is NOT true!)


Anyway , I would love your opinion on this. Am I the only one who feels this? Maybe I am just overthinking or over analyzing but for me this is what Swara has become and I would like her to at least be the Swara she was.

I agree with everything you said. Whilst watching the episode, I was wondering the same thing. Swara keeps on going about how Sanskaar tried to murder her, etc, which is honestly very annoying because how can she ignore everything that he's been doing for her or what her family keeps telling her about their relationship?
She has a memory loss, and she remembers Sanskaar shooting the gun, however, shouldn't she be a bit affected by his actions. For example, despite of Sanskaar saying I love to her the night before, she starts calling him ghatiya insaan, etc the very next morning. I am not saying she should start loving him immediately but can't they show her conflicting emotions regarding him. Can't she question everything, like a man who claims to love her, why would he try to kill her.
Also, she knows she has memory loss, but she's so least bothered towards it. Won't a person be inquisitive about his/her life and things they don't remember? She isn't concerned about how her parents got married, how she and Ragini ended up in the same house, heck even the time she doesn't remember. I would expect a person suffering from amnesia trying to connect the dots and trying to recollect the past memories but here Swara is shown to not care two shits about anything. It's like she's happy to start her life all over again and the past year or two don't matter to her.
The dialogues being given to Swara are too extreme and not needed, for example, she said today that she feels suffocated whenever the family members try to remind her of her and Sanskaar's happy married life, and marrying a person like Sanskaar was her biggest mistake. How can she make such bold statements without once wondering why she married him at the first place, why does everyone keep on saying they were happy together.
I really hope the cvs show Swara's emotional conflict when Sankaar leaves the house, her wondering and questioning everything, or at least her agitation on not being able to recall a number of years of her life and something as significant as her marriage. Also, once the memory is back, Swara should been shown remembering everything she said to Sanskaar and hating herself for it :P

PS: before people start justifying her actions, please consider that I am not blaming her for accusing Sanskaar of murder. I am fine with Swara trying to maintain a distance with Sanskaar and not being too comfortable around him, but at the same time, she should be a bit more curious about her relationship to him.

Well I disagree with you!! The difference between the before Swara and this Swara Bose is that thr former was normal, but this one is influence, in a dilemma and vulnerable. It has been just 3 days she came back!!
And what is Swara's character? A bold, headstrong girl who can stand for something SHE thinks is right, also a kind-hearted girl who loves everyone!! Isn't this Swara? Well so I presently do not find any change or loss of character. She is bold and headstrong inspite of her memory loss that she can stand in front of her parents and question then as to why didn't they tell that she is married the moment she came. Now if she was right or wrong is a different discussion and I believe she was right!!
Analysis of a character can be done, when you stand at his or her place. Just try that. Stand where Swara stands!! A girl whose mind is blank, she doesn't know her life history, she is married to a supposed murderer and all her family supports him. Nobody bothered to tell her that the guy, to whom she shouted on top if voice Khooni, is her husband. How could her parentsparents give her away to such a guy. And on top of that why don't they believe her. She HAS 2 memories of his evil plans!! Yet nobody supports her.
Won't you find it horrible if come to knoe outta nowhere that you are married to a murderer?? She needs time guys, its just been hella 2 days!! Right now she s not thinking cuz she needs support, someone who tries to understand her POV also apart from Sanskaar and soon you'll the girl you want back in action I'm sure!!

i agree with u
she is not the real swara
i dont like swara now..i mean ok she has reasons to be angry at sanskar
but then she cant shout like that
why cant she think a little bit about things like why would sanskar kill her if she was his wife?
and why dont anyone tell what happen actually?
and where is that cosmic connection? why doesnt she feel anything for sanskar? a little feeling?
im so irritated.if this is going to be continued and if it seems like there is no chance for her memory back i will stop watching this.trp should go low.so makers will understand how stupid are these kind of changes

I agree with you but partially.

Swara's character has been tampered with but not completely. The one time I found her completely OOC after the ML track started was when she was unfazed when Sahil hit Sanskaar with a rod, when she left Sanskaar bleeding in the middle of the road, when she shouted "help, sahil help" when she came face to face with Sanskaar. That was one scene which was completely OOC for me🤢 Swara has been shown to be kind to point of being foolish. For such a girl to be OK with hitting a man with an iron rod & leaving him there was beyond my understanding. They could have corrected that scene by showing her feel a little bit uneasy later...but well that ship has sailed🤢 But the worst OOC scene was the her needing someone's help to save herself. Swara was never a weak girl & she never needed anyone to deal with her villains. Sanskaar, Ragini, Lakshya, Adarsh, Shekhar, AP, Sujata, Maasi, Kavita, Rajat...she faced them all alone & succeeded in varying degrees. She was never this damsel in distress & it was most 😲🤢 to watch her turn into one.


And though I totally detest her behaviour atm I cant say thats against her character either. Swara was always headstrong & could be extremely stupid & stubborn if she convinced herself of a certain thing. E.g. for this from before the ML track would be: her blind trust on Kavita, her blind belief that it is only Maasi out to ruin her & no one else, her blind trust on Ragini, her blind trust on Lakshya. It is quite easy to fool her at least in the beginning. She isnt the sort of person who puts two & two together immediately or who has a good gut instinct. She is the sort who will jump in the ditch to actually measure how deep it is & this has been the root cause of all her troubles till date. So her trusting Sahil since he "seems" so angelic is not shocking or OOC. She will miss out the finer details as she has done even before & will only wake up when something terrible happens.

Now coming to her behvaiour with Sanskaar. Even that is not OOC😊 She has always been her harshest with Sanskaar. I still remember the loathing on her face after he confessed his love...the sort of expression I would reserve for a road romeo. Then her repeatedly taunting him about his love, calling it his dhokha, continuously talking about divorce without giving a damn about his feelings. It has always been that way. And now here she has "seen" him shoot her so the chances of her being reasonable are quite slim😆

Actually the one person who is completely OOC is Shomi & the mother daughter bond as well. Yes I am disappointed to see that the mother - daughter bond is completely lost in this track. I get it that Shomi is pregnant & has too many things on her mind but she was needed here to be there for Swara. What is she even doing? Swara isn't wrong when she thinks her family hid things from her. They did. Now when she started her usual screaming Shomi could have told her calmly as to why they didn't tell her the truth. A mother not knowing how to calm her daughter (especially a mother like Shomi who was always shown to be so understanding of Swara) in totally OOC for Shomi to the point of being shocking. Instead of sending off your married daughter with any tom, dick & harry maybe YOU should take her out, talk to her, relieve her of her worries!


But well we have got a new actor to play the big bad wolf...so yeah lets make everyone else dumb so we can accommodate it. The CVs are always in character that way you see😉


And talking about OOC, what is wrong with Sanskaar?!

I get it Sunny that you are dying to take Swara in your arms. Trust me we all are waiting for that moment. But, the girl freaks out when she sees you! Can you stop staring at her, can you not spy on her from behind trees, can you not sneak up on her & scare her more, can you not decorate rooms, can you not go in to her room at night, can you not show your concern so obviously? (I am so glad they edited out the finger sucking thing. First time I am happy that a SwaSan scene was cut). It just makes you look creepy my boy I know "ye dil hai, aur dil ke paas dimag nahi hota" but remember when Sanskaar used to knock at his own room's door before entering it because Swara was there. Where did that gentleman go? Give her space Sunny. Give her so much space that she starts missing you, that she grows curious about you, that she seeks you out, that she is the one who initiates contact. That is how you will win her. What is yours will come back to you😳

Well Its a very tough situation for swasanians as both of our favs are being tortured by each other directly or indirectly!!!!!
Coming to swara @Tm i will nt disagree wd u bt also nt fully agree wd u as well...
Well me also feels irritated the hell outta me from this khooni jaap.its just getting on my nerves bt still what can we do apart from sitting and waiting for a slight change in situation fr good.
Coming to Topic yes she has a memory less ad its just 2-3 days she is back in home nt recovered i guess...
welll the main problem i m hving wd her is she delibaretely ignoring every positive thing about him and their mrg bcz what she sees only that much is truth to her and THIS IS SWARA from start ...untill she will experience or sees otherwise she will stick to this no matter how much people told her about this.
Second thing which i am nt liking is her talking tone to everyone...its so harsh nd inappropriate ok I agree for her Sanskar is khooni bt all the members of MF and GF are saint or good na????then why she is talking to them wd pointing finger?????isn't it a bad manner???she has ML bt that cant be excuse of her ill behaviour for those who always treats her good.It seems like she made up her mind for them as well...dey all r bad.all r trying to harm me.Come on!!!why on earth everyone is sooo jobless to think abt u 247 and trying to harm u.I already told in my last post abt Swara dat she is being adamant and arrogant regarding this...This is not my Swara!!!!Sorry atleast behave properly.

I agree and disagree to some extent.


Swara at the moment is very vulnerable. It has been around 3 days since she returned home. She discovers she has forgotten the past year or two, she sees Sanskaar and identifies him as the man who shot at her, then finds out that he is her husband. Any girl in her situation would freak out.


I lay the blame squarely on her parents.😡 What the heck are they doing with their daughter, who has come back from the dead and is suffering memory loss? Ragini explained to her that Shekhar and Shomi are married now and so they are sisters. She accepts it but she does not feel the old bond she had when she discovered that Ragini is her half-sister. She still does not know that Shekhar is her biological father. The only person she remembers and would trust is her mother, Shomi.


What is Shomi doing now? She sits and broods over the state of her pregnancy. 🤢 Even if you are pregnant for a second time, do you stop giving attention to your other child? Especially when that child is in an emotionally vulnerable state? It is not like Shomi is bedridden or so sick that she cannot talk to Swara. Isn't it her duty to sit down with Swara, show her old photos and gently try to jog her memory? Shouldn't she have attempted to tell her that Sanskaar loves her very much and the circumstances behind that shooting? She should have revealed about the marriage to Swara, not let her find out on her own. Instead of doing this as a mother, she sends her off to roam the city with Sahil, on the lame excuse that Swara should be with people she trusts! 🤬 She coos over Ragini because she is helping her with the pregnancy but ignores Swara who needs her most at this point.


After Swara's encounter with the goons in the park and her seeing Sanskaar giving them money, Ragini tells her that Sanskaar shot at her to save her and then shows her the photographs of their special occasions. Swara feels something but it is too late now because Sahil, who is now obsessed with getting Swara, has effectively reinforced her belief that Sanskaar hates her and wants to harm her. He is the only one who is listening to her fears, but he is using her fear to his own advantage. 🤢


I do wish they would tone down Swara's dialogues a bit, but then this is a daily soap. Drama is always highlighted and the CVs always error on the side of excess. It is like the scene where Sanskaar comes to baadi when he hears Swara has returned home. I would have definitely preferred him making a beeline for the baadi and taking her in his arms ☺️ but the CVs showed those welcome preps to hype the drama that followed.


I do not feel Swara's character has been compromised, though I wish they tone down her dialogues. I sincerely wish that with Sanskaar's exit from MM and his entry as Kisan, this is the last time she flies off the handle at him. If they show SwaSan scenes during the KisSwa phase, I wish him to be distant with her, and his indifference should puzzle Swara! 😈 She is going to cry a tsumani when her memory returns and she remembers all that she said to Sanskaar.

i agree with u...I cant connect with this Swara Bose. she is not d same...swara who is sherlok holmes mind ...who know she doent remember last probably 2 years of life...dont even try to figure out why she married to sanskar? ...there r so many questions...she shold b trying to get anwers of this questions...but i feel she is so eager to start her new life all over again rather than trying to find out last 2 yeasr of her life...
now as kissan is in action i really want sanskar to ignor swara...be indifference to her...it should b swara who should feel curiosity for sanskar...it should swara who tak initiative for sanskar.

being with kissan she should get flashes of sanskar. i want swara to feel sanskar's absence in home...she should b restless,,,empty feeling...


but alahaasss our cv's r great... i always knew there mind works on different frequency than ours.
