"The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling. But they are not stops on some linear timeline in grief" - grief.com/
Since the news broke out that YVR will be taking a major leap, leaving us with a completely different cast (minus Sonal and Rinku) I have felt as if my entire world just came crashing down (jks 😆...). Without Ankush Arora as the lead (he doesn't even have to play Kartik- he can clearly bring any character to life, and I would still feel drawn to it [proof: Krishna]) I don't believe there is a reason to continue watching YVR (a choice I felt is befitting for me)... I have been coming back to this forum... to stay connected to all of you, rant, and express my dismay... And, I realized that what I was doing was part of the 5 stages of grief 😆... So here it is... The 5 stages of grief: YVR edition (feel free to add anything I may have missed.. or your own versions 😃)
Denial: I read the news once, twice and again... still, I could NOT believe it... How could the writers do this to KarVi... Survi DEAD... after all that "superwoman" stuff (worst part of the show... it cost us so many great KarVi moments, and more realistic developments in their resaltionship and life 😡- as a woman I despise such female characters... they make me feel like I need to work towards this unattainable status to prove my feminity/womanhood to be categorized as a "good girl"). And, Ankush Arora exiting the show... what the what!!🤢 Like, why would you take away the one thing that kept me coming back despite some of the worst twists made in the name of adding suspense/a dramatic touch... 😕 I seriously thought the news was a complete joke, and that even if there was a leap... the writers would figure out some way to keep SonKush together... Sadly, this was so not the case 😭
Anger: I was pissed... first the writers decided to ruin several storylines in favour of depicting the female lead as some godess/saviour... and brought in some of the most weirdest and offesive story arcs (yes, I am refering to that meher track... like what the 😡... clearly did not bring awareness to mental health/mental illness... rather made it seem like a joke and demonized it (my opinion)... with all those lovely KarVi scenes... how could they not have thought of a better villain/story arc... like have Kartik support Survi to go back to Med school...)...
Bargaining: Then I thought, wait... maybe the the channel is placing the PH in a position where they had to do something dramatic... And so I tried msging Mahesh Pandey proposing a storylinee that could potentially work for both of us... you get your dramatic new storyline... I get to continue seeing my fav cast members on screen... Clearly... as a fan... my 2 cents means nothing to them 🥺
Depression: Crushed... that's it... that's the word that best describes how I felt... How am I supposed to go about my life without the escape that KarVi/SonKush/Taayi-Pyare brought me....😭
Acceptance: Haven't made it here yet... but, I am getting there...As long as Ankush Arora is back on my screen with a bigger and better project that gives him a great platform to showcase his acting talent... I will be fine... Hopefully, this project will include Gaurav (Pyare) and Rinku (Taayi) too... making way for an awesome Comedic Trio... I'd love to see them in a show with lots of comedy 😆 (Their scenes as Taayi/Pyare/Krishna were hilarious- again, so much potential and so much comedic chemistry...) And maybe one day we will get SonKush back on our screens together...😳
