Creatives, please help me feel bad not mad

Dear creatives,

Thank you for bringing back the intensity and passion (dare we hope?) to the Dev/Sona equation. Post the accident phase as they became friends and later a couple in love these key ingredients for an enjoyable love story kept getting diluted and almost got eliminated as we reached the breakup.

I know, I know there are many on this forum (including me) who have a bone to pick (actually many) with you on what you sacrificed to bring these ingredients back such as -

- Made Dev look bad in the way the break up was scripted
- Prior to that made both Sona and Dev look out of character for several episodes
- Deviated from the original subtle/mature approach to their break up. There are many in this forum itself who signed up for this show for that approach
- Introduced more drama than what this audience could stomach
- I could go on and on but I think you get the point..

However, I am willing to look past all of this because the episodes since the break up indicate that I may get the following rewards in return for putting up with the above nonsense

- Intensity and passion
- Finally a Dev who pines for her (love came too easily to him)
- Return of Dev and Sona. In their last few scenes before break up, I felt I was being given Shaheer and Erica goofing around as friends versus a newly and crazily in love couple Dev and Sona
- A Dev who at some point will have to win over and later woo Sona back (viewers expect this now given how the break up happened). If it had gone the way of the show's original promos, it would look out of place to see him woo her
-Dev winning over Bose family and regaining their trust
-etc.

BUT (finally I come to the point of the post)

For me to get into the proper frame of mind to appreciate all this goodness coming my way, you really need to pull up your socks and work on Ish's character

In today's episode I really wanted to feel bad for Dev and Sona so I can truly appreciate the re entry of passion and intensity.

Instead I got mad...

I was unable to connect to their heartache (I so wanted to) because you scripted the reason for it so lazily in the form of Ish's poorly written character of late. They are crying and heartbroken with your new sad BG score playing in the background but it all looks so pointless when in the very next scene the reason for their misery is so unconvincing. Since her character is being scripted so poorly of late, shorn of nuance, it takes away from almost every interaction she has on the show.

Creatives - please help me feel bad, not mad

I can empathize with you because i was also one of you. but then the path taken has rattled me so much that i have stopped watching KRPKAB on TV and now am hoping and praying that not Dev, Ishwari or Sona, but the CV's redeem themselves!

My apple iPAD has not seen any addition in episodes beyond 118, including those carrot Devakshi scenes towards the later part. For me, those and the current episodes just do not exist.

I for now am beyond mad ..Easwari character is shaping up to be a sadist and cringeworthy , with her children and her brother looking like clowns...thank god they are retaining Neha character. As a mother Easwari behaviour is certainly a put off...subtlety where thou are u?

Thank you my friend.

Given this is the premise of the show all of us assumed they would have a convincing script and character graph for her in this stage of the show. To our dismay it appears they have drama and not nuance in their arsenal.

@desigirl

Exactly. She was not expected to be a villain and certainly not such a confused one.


Have they forgotten that Ishwari spent so much time counselling Sona when Kushal's family decided against the alliance?? She was portrayed as being quite perceptive then.

Even during the Natasha track, she was attuned to Dev's feelings. Dev too repeatedly came up to her to discuss the alliance and his doubts. It really did look like they were a mother son duo who talk things through. She even made a reference to her insecurity over her place in his life after marriage and he immediately assured her that her place was unique..

Suddenly to accommodate the main track of the show, the characters and their relationships have been altered.

The problem here is that the writers have no idea what they want to do..Is Ishwari a crazy woman who has lost her head thanks to her intense insecurity and is in desperate need of psychiatric help OR is she just a mother who has really struggled in life and is insanely invested in her son and is finding it really tough to cope with the changes in his life? The main issue here is that they want to show the second version but they end up going with the first version and still expect us to look at her as a poor mother struggling with her feelings..You cant have the cake and eat it too CVs 😆 You have a fantastic actor on board..And Ishwari as a character had so much potential..You have now reduced her to a crazy woman who is off the rails and will do everything in her power to keep her son all for herself without an ounce of guilt..This will only get worse when you redeem her and make all the characters justify her actions..I can almost see Sonakshi giving a lecture on why Ishwari is not wrong and she understands why she did whatever she did once these two patch up after 50 or 100 or how many ever episodes 😆
