That was dumb

But no, he had to go in like 10cr is pocket change. I understand about drama factor and all that - will he get the money in 10 days?? But a twist would have been nice too.

Anyway, I don't blame Pankti for being angry with Ayaan. He also just treated her like she's an object that could be bought.

I agree, The entire Ahaan-Pankti-JD debacle seems to be taken out of a 90s indian movie... probably why it is working so well trp wise, But I do appreciate that the show still gives us moments of character development and realistic relationships (Ahaan-Aparna, Pankti-Aparna, Aparna's character in general, Pankti-Purva) despite all the over dramatic, fairy-tale romance that we've seen too often.

I personally do not like Pankti's character. From the start the timid, innocent characteristics she has been painted with just didn't click with me... plus the love at first sight concept of Ahaan-Pankti's relationship seems way too unrealistic for my taste. i also do not like the way they have shown Pankti's character to be manipulated into being a mistress. The entire show plays at a more conservative indian thought process. The audience is more accepting of Pankti because she is forced into her position... would the audience be as accepting if the female lead was 100% willing to be in her position and sees it more as a job than an unfortunate circumstance?

If the female lead was 100% willing then the show would lose its reason for existence. If she was willing then there would be absolutely no love between Ahaan and Pankti and more so the show itself wouldn't exist. But I do agree with you that the character of Pankti is shown to be WAY TOO HELPLESS. At times when her mother taunts her about Ahaan, I'm sure she can easily talk back or just slap her mom but no. She is shown to be way too helpless and scared which is also unrealistic.

Post JD Pankti-Ahaan are going to have some serious problems... especially if Pankti is shown to be this helpless and in need of saving. For an 18 year old who hasn't had the opportunity to explore and pursue her dislikes and likes is it really possible to commit to someone? having a friend or family member save/protect you vs. someone who is in the place of a significant other makes a huge difference.

The love-at-first-sight, and saviour- damsel in distress complex is a set up for some serious issues in a relationship...

By the way, is this considered a mega or finite serial?

No idea although I hope it remains a finite series because it will remain good. Dragging it might be disastrous. But you're right that Pankti's helplessness might become a serious problem later on.
