Very true to the core analysis. And infact someone commented above, the character development of all have stopped from the last 8 months. I was watching initial episodes of IB 2 days back, where Om was lashing out Mr.Oberoi while not being able to do anything; guess what OM is still the same guy. Not able to do anything. And I dont know about writer competence and all, but you have hit the nail on the head. A nayee soch is not only about "throwing water, fighting for materialistic things or something", a true nayee soch is about fighting about difference of opinions. Two different individuals cant have exactly same opinions about everything. But alas' they have now reduced Anika to devouted GL and nothing else.
I will give one example of nayee soch. As name taking is not allowed so i will leave it to the viewers, one of the sony serial which ended without any drag has such a stunning female lead characterization that you feel just connected to her. No mahaanta virus, and no "she is always right", No my pati is parmeshwar, no dependency. Even their divorce happened because of difference in opinions about how her husband is more than necessary devouted to her mother/family and do not even see her point of difference (and not because of some misunderstanding or some third wheel person coming- vamp or something). and what did she did after divorce? Raised her daughter, Raised her startup, talked about her husband family with her daughter clearly ( so it was not shocking twist track ki like mummy mere papa kon hain..mummy meri dadi kon hain). And because the divorce happen on "difference of opinions" where she knows what are her faults and what are her husband faults so after 7 years when they meet again it was no "i hate you" kind of thing or she didnt raised her daughter like family did wrong with her but she drilled down the belief that "difference in opinions" and non sync thought process is the reason and family and her husband has some good qualities and some bad qualities just like her. Being a tv viewer from 1998, i was simply amazed by the FL character arc for being much more "real" in characterisation and also showing immense strength and her individuality and will put her in the top 3 FL ever and will probably remember her ever after 20 years down the line. Can someone say that about Anika/Gauri/Leave alone bhavya(she has no arc) character? the answer is no. they started off well but now have been reduced to usual FL.
"I hope they could put some reality in her, like she feeling angry with Tej for troubling Shivaay, keeping little distance from pinky and jhanvi.
why is a nayi soch girl shown to be sooo savitri, it's so impossible gawd!"
This. Chalo it feels good it is not only me who feels the same. Putting a point, keeping a distance or having opinions doesnt make a FL negative. I dont know when will SP understand this. they should move closer to "reality" Infact that will be a true nayee soch. Pinky hurt her husband and was the casue of separation, and almost was ready to marry her son with ragini. poof all forgotten and anika is a again "mahaan". dont even get me started on Tej crimes. As i gave above example, as a partner it is your "right" and "duty" to tell your partner that "i have xyz opinions about this issue and this person because of their history and all. therefore, currently i am not comfortable to close that distance so soon and you should also be wary. and if in the future situation improves, things will become normal with time. But given what they have done, I am bit more careful ans will take some more time." This doesnt make a character negative!!..when will makers understand this. Hell this is 2018!!..dont make her "ji mummy ji". what next? pinky attempting murder on anika and anika quicky forgetting the deed by saying that ohh bahut pyaar karti hain nah apne bete se isliye kiya hoga?? and next day make kheer for pinky. C'mon come to reality. Apply the same thing to Gauri Anika dynamics as well. you can love each other, you can respect each other but how can two individual have "hum saath saath hain" opinion on everything. dont make it mushy.
when will producers,directors, writers will learn that not every thing is "i love you oo jaanaa" and not every thing is "i hate you..nafrat hain". in reality parents have difference in opinions with children; partners have difference in opinions between them, best friends have the same. It doesnt mean you stop loving them or you are always right/wrong. It just mean as an individual this is xyz my point of view, and this is abc your point of view and how they are not syncing.
