Yes you put the words correctly, after all it is a serial they all run for TRP for their bread and butter.


Showing abuse for TRP and claiming that it is for their bread and butter is akin to saying un logon ko har cheez ki chook hai..

Waise, I understand the race for TRPs but here am expressing my angst against a show that is going the conventional way.. anyway the TRP thirsty can go after it.. and I, my way..

Hi Fatima, glad that we agree on most things.. 😊 but I donot agree with @bold. I choose shows which resonate and offer something interesting.. if am actually paying the price of my time to watch a show, it better be good. Yes, I take things with a pinch of salt.. but can never ever condone abuse.. so far I gave the show some leeway coz I thought it was required for the story to progress and that Devi was not a conventional male lead... but nah! she is going down the same route..

I cant take that kind of a leap with logic or abuse.. and so will be off..


I hate the abuse too. I guess most viewers will put up with it because it is coming directly from the MIL rather than the hero...who will eventually become the knight in shining armor and rescue the heroine.. 🤔 But abuse is abuse...and it seems to be prevalent in many of the dramas I've seen. Something new with a fresh concept and good writing is definitely warranted. So, which other shows do you watch?

Hi... yes, a viewer the disappointments have started to begin. Or should I say, I will now be losing patience, after the poison drama, because it feels that things will continue to go in round and circles. 2 steps ahead and 4 steps backwards, like any other regular show.


Devi falling for Adhiraj is not a surprise for me because I think she had always made up her mind to win him. And upon discovering that he is not as bad as he appears at surface level, she got hopes to see her forced marriage turning into a successful one. Fair enough!

I like that she is clever, witty and sensible. Being a medical-student, she is nice, empathetic and genuine, making her character unique from other sanskaari tele-bahus.

However, the show offers a very thin story-line as of now, making both Masa and Devi's character unbearable and unrealistic beyond a point. The show's scope needs to be increased for it to maintain crispness. Maybe it's time the show focuses a bit on character / plot development of Mukund - Kesar / Sharad, a little more about Rajawat's past etc.

Otherwise, the actor playing Masa has started to put me off with her OTT one-style expressions, and nothing seems to mellow that down, making her character look extremely plastic and increasingly intolerable.

Hoping that there is some positive change and a different level of progress post the poison drama.


@bold 1 - Fair point, misse! Yes, from that perspective, it does sound plausible..

@ bold 2 - True again; wafer thin story line and so the need to keep the fight on and not show Adiraj thawing.. more like vikram betel story.. where betal flees everytime.. there is so much scope to develop the story.. doesnt Devi have any friends? What about the elder sister in law and her lust for Adiraj? What about kesar and her family/ angle with Sharad? all characters are very uni dimensional right now... and therefore uninteresting...

@ bold - 3 - that woman really grates on my nerves.. poor acting skills too and she is so unmother like! unless an angle of she being a step mother comes in!

Fatima, I too put up with the act of abuse initially as it is was coming from the MIL and I thought Devi will give it back to her... and to be fair, she did. As for Adiraj, he really didnt participate in the abuse after the marriage, choosing to let his mom deal with the girl.. But what has put me off is the latest segment in which Adiraj slaps Devi and for me, that is a no-go zone.

I am a super loyal fan of Ye Un Dino Ki baat hai.. uff bachpan yaad aa jati hai.. its too beautiful ❤️and occasionally watch Bhootu for the kid and Gopal.. thats about it..
Used to watch Zindagi ki mehak earlier; infact joined forum for it but then gave up for exactly the same reasons as here - male chauvinist lead and doormat FL who suffers all abuse.

I was thinking of watching Ye Un Dino Ki Baat Hai 😆

I've seen a promo here and there and it looked cute...as long as it doesn't have a high sop content (I hate tears)..I just may check it out...😛
