After all the fiasco of FL change, destroying story, main character, and the leap, watching this show and feeling good is a rare occasion but kept going in the hope it will get better. Then one fine day accepted the change and try to watch with some excuses as it's for vip/misha but yesterday felt disgusted (sorry for the strong word) and so sad.

How can the ph, actors writtets and the channel be so irresponsible to give such a story for dl?? My God they were playing the violin, as if a great tragedy and to see ML crying I wanted to hit the TV. They brought her husband to draw parralel to VIp?? playing with widowhood is their social msg?? All the promos by the team about the show being so different?? What a joke? Why the established actors support this irresponsible story??
infidelity happens in marriage you don't go out and become a widow and top of that give your child a rotten childhood with no education?? Its Dl turn for character butchering.. For her ego boost she made her daughter life a hell..all the struggles dhani went through and her loving mother kept silent for what?? It's not as if her husband hurting her daughter but a mu which they are trying to justify it as love?? Didn't even bother to tell the daughter/father of each other not even during the wedding what a love that is from dl for her hubby, daughter. Disgusting characterization worse than kn..

To glorify VIP they are destroying dhani, dl characters. This ph, actors are trying to show, you can miss your duty as a mother, father, husband but no worries as there is always a impossible love behind all you did.. For a show that was suppose to show the societies hypocrycie over widowhood it shows nothing but mockery of widow's, love (impossible one) , parental relationship, marriage, and everything in between!!!

What one can't fathom is a great actor who is so picky about his roles would be part of this story. Sorry for the personal comment and am not very happy to Pen that but come on if you are going to stay in this show at least demand a passable storyline. As an adored actor of many fans who watch this crappy show just for you have big chunk of the responsibility towards the storyline. The aderent fan in me still hoping for the best from you.

Dear forum friends my apologies for a negative, judgemental post. Want to move away from this once a beautiful show now turned into a nightmare. Would like to hear your views both good and bad..Mean no offense to any one.

well said...
agree with ur every word...
looks like all these years dl has taken out her anger on her husband,on dhaani 🤢
they have made a mockery of everything...
fans were bashing ishita for the changes happ in the show but actually it looks the whole dimensions of the show were changed only to fit dl's past convincingly in the show...more than ishita or ss it's garima who has replaced dhaani in the show...
now the show is only saying how women are fools in jumping into bad decisions n ending up spoiling their and their children's life also 🐷 when what viplav did with dhaani was completely brushed under the carpet 🐷

I agree with you wholeheartedly, Mthiru! The whole show's gone for a toss. After everything we've gone through as viewers, I was hoping with all my might that they wouldn't go down this road with Dhulari's character. They've totally ruined Dhulari. They've made a mockery out of widowhood. I'm from outside of India, so I'm a bit unaware of the ideologies of the masses there. Wouldn't the audience be appalled by what's being shown on IKRS nowadays? From what I've understood, widows are expected to adhere to strict laws and are expected to keep a low profile. They're treated miserably for losing their husbands, so why would any woman want to take on the identity of a widow? Why would any woman want to kill her husband off? it shocks me that this woman felt no sense of guilt living in an ashram deceiving everyone into thinking that she's completely helpless. Dhulari was illiterate, but she could've worked as a seamstress, a maid, a laundress, or even in a kitchen. She could've sent her daughter to a government school for basic education. It astonishes me that the makers of this show have taken this subject this lightly. Like you've said, where's the social reform? As for Mishal, I still don't understand what's holding him back. For a person of his acting calibre, it's just not adding up.
I apologize if I've hurt anyone's sentiments. That certainly wasn't my intention. My understanding of widowhood in India is limited to IKRS.

At the start of the show I remember a post asking people to state their reason for watching the show. The two distinct responses by most was the Unique concept and Mishal. 11 months down the line both are taking such a tremendous beating from none other than the creators who promised something different.

What I understood the concept to be was to highlight the injustices and discrimination endured by a group of women who are ouster sized by society for the mere fact that they are widows. A group who , rightly or wrongly , take upon themselves a Dharma so strict and stringent that to some it may seem inhuman. The idea was to educate and emancipate both parties across this wall of widowhood . For the society to accept them for who they are and for the women in white to live their lives with dignity and to provide them with tools to do so .

Dulaari right from the first episode was the matriarch and the bastion of this age old custom. She beat her own daughter when she returned drenched in color, was harsh to the young Raj Laksmi and Suvarna for their indiscretions , followed a strict code of conduct in leading simple lives. This included eating boiled potatoes, not attending a Navratri mela , not watching the movies and definitely not wearing color. So it was thought ...

Fast forward to today ..this very Dulaari has become the joke of this unique concept. All that she did or said was a charade and a slap to widows who genuinely mourn the loss of their husbands and follow this dharam. If Garima ji was promised a seperate track for her in the recent times when she quit . this was surely not expected by her least by me. And worse she not only tricked everyone including her daughter think her husband is dead she purposely kept the kid away from her father all because she suspected him to have an affair ? Such mockery and narrow thinking ..of everything that the show stood for . And why ?
Because the writers lost their vision
or because it was convenient
or the audience can be fooled or
because THEY DO NOT CARE .
..A colossal shame ...shameful indeed.


Next I wanted to address the other reason for people dialing into the show _ Mishal. The question as to - After 4 years was this the right show to choose or why is he sticking by it seeing the poor state of the story and his character. He is the only person who can answer these and I can only speculate and defend him as a fan.

Anyone of us who takes up a new job does it in good faith , There are expectations attached and the fervor to give it your best shot. A few months into the job one starts to get the feel of its direction and one learns to adjust ones expectations . Then comes a point one realizes that this is not going right and ones performance and interest drops. Few of us think quitting is an option but even this has to thought well. Is the timing right , How will this look in my resume , What about me next job , how will I pay my bills etc etc... or maybe there are a few of us who walk out of the job the next day. Don't know what Mishal is thinking , his compulsions and expectations. All I am sure is that he does not look happy.

From my part as his fan I continue to watch every single day , grudgingly , nodding my head when I don't see his 100% , for I think the least he deserves is my loyalty .

Sorry this went much longer than i indented. Writing such a long post after ages. Unlike you Thiru I have somewhat become thick skinned and watch the disintegrate with a strong heart. Leaves no room for negativity then.

Agree with all above comments, knew they were going to show Dulaari past but did not expect copy cat Dhani situation... they could have shown Dulaari past and she not knowing her husband was alive instead hiding the truth from whole world and not wearing her manglesutra and all that is attached to being a suhagan...funny how 5 yrs old Vidha asked about her father constantly and Dhaani never questioned her mum? now she doesn't deserve to go back to her husband... Dhaani on the other hand suspected Vip's family would try to kill her unborn child ,also her husband did throw her out of his life, she still wears sindour for his long life and show the world she has a husband.
As for Mishal I believe he took the role in good faith, but PH never delivered, if every actor demanded how they want their role to progress I think it might be impossible to run the show altogether... Garima & IG got what they wanted how is it possible for all actors to manipulate the makers? SS and MR maybe getting what they want also but not necessarily on screen. I apologise if anything in my post hurts anyone, it's just my opinion only.

they didn't knew how to go about the story from the beginning itself. But still the show was tolerable as the leads were always together amongst all the other negative characters and negativity in the show. then they destroyed the character of male lead and now trying to cover up by destroying other characters.None of the villians are exposed till now. what are they trying to show? one can just get away with heinous crimes and never get caught. above all now rupali herself is the writer of the show.this implies more of that vamp on screen and more butchering of everything which is already ruined.🤢 Now we have to bear this torture for 6 more months. Mishal se loyalty nibhane ke liye what crap we are watching
God give us strength to bear this negativity and boredom.

Hi all... Mthiru... Grt post.
But one question... Which Indian tv serial promises and something and delivers it?????
Every serial in Indian tv has a span of just 6 months over that it's only diluting and diluting... And they end up as craps...
So no wonder IKRS brought the same upon themselves.

I do feel bad for the entire cast of IKRS because they are phenomenal and will always remain one. They are the best cast in any Indian tv show till date. I wish the story had ended when Viplav and dhani got married... Rather then bringing in kaminee and dadi Bua. A grand wedding would have been a wonderful ending and etched in our hearts always. But then... This is the flip side of Indian tv.

For whatever it is till now... I keep IKRS in the top. Even in the crap that they are showing... The actors are being real. And that's what is special about IKRS.
I am glad they are showing a vulnerable ML... Because he is ... He is this eternal lover who just can't seem to get over his lady love... And I like it. He 1000 times better than a haan Ji mammiji ML... I am sorry... But I appreciate realism more.

Whatever said and done... Nothing can be undone anymore. I just wish the ph gets to close the loops in a good manner and now that widow remarriage is thrown out of the window... Let them give the respect people like Kajal and arun bakshi and mishal deserve and end at a repeatable note.

You are right jazz. Makes you wonder about what you wish for it may come true but not how you wished it. When garima asked for her chracter to have more scope she certainly would not have expected this. They completely ruined her character.. How badly this ph treats actors and the fans. But still they are on air!!?! The only person laughing all the way to her bank is ishita.. Wonder why rupa didn't make her dhani in the 1st place..

Myself from India not aware of many difficulties widows go through in present time. But in South India is not as hard as what they showed in ikrs. One thing I noticed folks tend to avoid them during auspesious occasions as they are considered unucky!! Widows don't wear white it's completely their choice. Again it's not norm but this is also true.

But what this show did completely taken this issue so lightly as to show a woman scorned by her husband pretend to be widow and raise her daughter in such conditions. How can a mother do this to their child??

It's shows like these which claim to have social msg harms the society with their greed. Well seems like they are staying alive for another 6 months??
