Would it help to redeem Naren's character if...

Naren becomes the one to discover Supriya's truth, as well as his own birth truth, and some if not all of the deeds of the villains, exposing it all and letting Pooja know that he wants her to be able to leave, if she really so desires, with her true identity intact, and full credit for all the sacrifices she has made for the sake of himself and his entire family. Not to mention trying to express his eternal gratitude, and the fact that it could never be enough to repay her.

Perhaps I'm being naive, but it would help me to feel so much better about him, and the way the show has spiralled into such extreme negativity.

As you all said, I also found it impossible to genuinely enjoy the beauty of the marriage consummation scene despite the perfect presentation of cast and crew. It just made me wish that it could have happened when they loved each other so truly and completely in the beginning. All it did was bring tears to my heart and eyes.

I think there would still be all kinds of aspects for the writers to explore if the show is really going to continue, which I hope it will. Things such as who is Naren's father... will it be revealed that he is indeed Vyas, thus thwarting Rahul's future plans once Chandrika is known to be his mother. And what if it's not Harish who is the father, what if it's Hardik? Creating some new twists there, since his wife has always been one of the villains, and it would make Naren Rahul's elder brother, hehe.

I hope the writers can find a way to save this show, it was such an example of a new direction in the serials, where ordinary everyday occurences were skillfully turned into interesting episodes, and the lead male didn't look like all the other serial leads as he does now. It has everything, and I hoped it would become an example to the other serials, instead of caving and following their lead, thus frustrating us all, and dashing our hopes.

Piyaa Albela is still better than the others in my opinion, showcasing their skill in coming up with so many different tracks, twists and turns... way too many, in fact. It's not necessary to shock us every day of the week, lol.

Sometimes I think the PA team is confusing suspense with dread in their attempts to keep us glued to the screen. However, suspense is meant to keep us on the edge of our seats, waiting in excited anticipation for the next episode, instead of always dreading what will happen next, and feeling that we can't continue to watch because it's getting too ugly. I know there is an audience for horror, but a love story should contain all aspects of life, with a minimum of horror, otherwise it just becomes a horrific tragedy.

Granted, there's the whole thing about TRP, but I think the PA team can do it, as they have shown in every way so far.

I will always be proud to have been a fan of this show, above all others. Thank you to Rahul Modi, Sooraj Bharjatya, Akshay Mhatre, Sheen Dass, and all the rest of the cast and crew. It has been extremely uplifting and devastating all at the same time. That's a tremendous achievement, no matter what.

No I don't think hardhik can be the father, today chandrika referred Hardik as baisaab. So yeah he can't be Naren's father. The only possibility of Naren being a vyas is if they introduce a long lost third brother. But you never know what the writers are capable of.

Very very very well said... 👏

I totally agree with you on the mixing up of suspense and dread.

Hardik being Naren's father? 😆😆 Nice thought. Rahul tou sadmay se behosh ho jayega...

You are not being naive. Where Naren is concerned, we all will eventually end up forgiving his misdeeds to some extent, no matter how much irked we are by his deviousness... 😭 But it will take some time. He cannot redeem in my eyes overnight. I actually want to see him crying and begging for mercy from Pooja, and Pooja giving him a cold shoulder for once would help me feel a lot better.. 😛 (Yes...I am a sadist! 😛)

@bold: well said👏 yeah instead of creating anticipation for the next episode, they are making the viewers dread to watch the next episode. They say too much of anything is not good. That goes so well with the PA. They fill the lead couples life with so much negativity, distress and hatred for each other due to each other that it is tiring us.

As far as Naren's redemption is concerned, well I truly believe that what ever works against humanity should never be forgiven. We should not confuse between a mistake and a crime, a mistake and a sin. A mistake can be forgiven coz it's a human quality, while a crime or sin cannot & should not be forgiven because it's against humanity and not every wrong we do can be camouflaged as mistake.

My issue with the writers is they went too far with Naren's hatred. Just to make the show more melodramatic, they carelessly rubbed the line between anger & hatred. I kept writing here in this forum that while Naren's anger, annoyance and frustration is acceptable even if it were for unjustified reasons, but his hatred is absolutely not acceptable coz it's completely misplaced. But they went ahead and now how they salvage him, well they can try, whether we buy it not is our choice.

Thanks! I agree. I could never defend what Naren has done, it's indefensible. I'm just wanting to see him start the journey of becoming an honourable man once again. No one is perfect, and it's not required, he's only human.

@ bold: That would be something really interesting to look forward to.

"One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man." (Goethe)

Our one-time hero needs to show that he can be more than just an emotional, vindictive, angry young man. One who has learned life's lessons, and will at least try to put them to good use to the best of his ability. That's the most anyone can do.

To begin with Naren with all his flaws was a very sensitive person full of compassion for all the living beings. We can't deny that he had to get a little pragmatic and had to learn the rules of the world to lead a purposeful life. But In the process of making him pragmatic they just turned him into this insensitive selfish evil man who would not hesitate to even kill his own to satiate his ego. From a person who could not withstand the death of a pet to a person who plotted to kill his own innocent wife! this journey is dreadful. Ise kehathe hai insaan ko jaanwar banana. Naren was a grownup child, he had to become a responsible man, instead of adding grey shades to his character, they turned him Completely black. Which was not necessary, if they are going to pin this all to the adversaries he faced, then that's really sad coz adversaries should never be an excuse to unleash the beast inside us. Think of it, by this logic every offense committed under the sun can be justified & reasoned out. Just to spice up the plot the writers handled his character with extreme carelessness. What was further disturbing is that they were trying to justify such an awful transition as some kind of an albelapan...uniqueness. My issue is not with Naren, I am disappointed with the way the writer sketched his character.

It's fine to highlighted the goodness in Raavan, what is not ok is to glorify the devil in Ram.

Pooja needs to do some soul searching, as well. Stop protecting Naren from himself by lying all the time, as if he can't learn to face things and resolve them on his own terms, albeit with her help. She's a very strong ally, they would be invincible if they could work together, as life partners should.

I agree here, for her part she committed a lot of mistakes in name of shielding him. But we can't completely blame her as she has witnessed Naren's extreme emotional outbursts. It's really difficult for her as a Wife to hold herself when he is in distress and let him come out of it on his own, this is the reason why I want her to leave him in guilt. It's only when he is left alone in guilt that he might do some soul searching which could eventually make him a strong person.
