What's wrong with Bepannaah?

After heavy dose of drama and emotional enlightenment through yesterday's episode, I realized that there's nothing wrong with Bepannaah.
Zoya and Aditya are again reacting differently to a same situation. Ain't that supposed to be like that? During the divorce fiasco also, Aditya and Zoya were at the same cross roads. Going through the same pain but venting out differently.

Same is happening now. Zoya's reaction is normal and very important in an aspect. Zoya was betrayed in Love and Marriage. This is what betrayal does to a person especially in a marriage. I have to again applaud for Jennifer for portraying it so beautifully. With minimum of point of view but maximum of expression, she made us realize her confusion and pain. Hurting oneself, denial, inability to take decision, not accepting the fact that they deserves love too; these are something people who have been hurt in relationships faces and sometimes they face it for life time often ruining their life.

Cheating & Betrayal in life/ marriage have life long but different consequences on different personality types. Aditya became emotionally more strong and resilient. Zoya, on the other hand did the worst with herself. On the surface she became strong but deep inside she was still the same sacred Zoya. She put on a facade, a coping mechanism. The worst a person can do to himself/ herself; pretending to be strong.

The third wheel has nothing to do with the story. He is not there to make Zoya realize her love for Aditya. He is there to show how a hurt person behaves especially in relationships. If you all notice then if a person goes through a break-up/ divorce, betrayal then majority cling on to the first person they find next irrespective of whether they love that person or not. They give up on finding love again or rather accepting the fact that they can love again. Arshad represents that bad mistake of life that people take to cope up with losses.

Zoya denied the truth from the start, put on rose colored glasses to see the situation, superficially coped up and now is back to square one when facing the truth again; She is in denial.

Zoya represents those who never recover from cheating & betrayal. They might look happy and successful but deep inside they are the same sacred person living under the fear that people will let them down again.

Bepannaah deserves more audience and is indeed a masterpiece depicting complex and complicated emotions.

Bepannaah is not about relationships, it's more of one's own conflicting and denied emotions, introspection of one's own reality, beliefs and perceptions.

There are many layers in every character, nothing is what it seems. We saw it with Anjana ( She is brilliant. Absolute delight ) She was cheated upon too. She accepted Harsh back but not without psychological repercussion. This is what cheating and betrayal does to a person. The mental trauma is always there. Her fear of loosing Aditya is valid. She accepted a toxic relation back, denied her own happiness and self respect for her son and family. She is the worst form of what heartbreak does to a person. Though her actions are not justified and acceptable but it's the truth.

The makers have done Ph.D in psychology and human behaviour. You need to savor Bepannaah. Showing such intrinsic emotions and behavior in half an hour and also as a commercial serial is not justified because you need time so that the understanding & depth can settle down.

The Cv's never cheated us anywhere and we need to understand what we are dealing with. We have been given what we signed for. This is Zoya and Aditya's story and we need to see it their POV.

Bepannaah needs to be in top 5. It is a work of value and admiration. It deserves a loyal fan base who supports their show. It has top notch acting and conception. But, those who are just looking for entertainment, Bepannaah will often disappoint them.

This series is so layered that I understand the episode a day after I watch it. 😆 Cause, after I put myself in Zoya, Aditya, Anjana.. I understand their perspective better.

C'mon people. We are mature audience. Our show not just deserves love & appreciation but also recognizance. Another top notch acting is in SBRK ( the series that comes after BP )

Harshad and Jennifer will go down in history with Bepannaah as their best performance. Harshad is phenomenal and Jennifer strikes the heart.

Though impatient at times, I am completely happy with Bepannaah and would rate 10000/100 for Harshad, Jennifer and concept.

And, yes it's not for people who always believe in happiness and lovey-dovey relations cause they won't relate with the show at all. But, if you all want a rollercoaster ride on emotion and reality, hop on!

This over reaction is actually compliment for Harshad and Jennifer 😳. They have made two fictional characters so real that we can actually feel their pain.

What you wrote is absolutely correct. Just that we can't enjoy the show in peace with the trp sword hanging over us. While we can talk about depth and layers, the trp audience don't like it, so what can we do? We are so fearful of losing our show.
Give us mindless entertainment anytime as Long as we can enjoy our show for years.

I completely agree with you. I'm still thoroughly enjoying the show. I watched today's episode after reading some comments on here and didn't expect much. But I actually really liked the episode. It made sense to me.
A lot of people are saying that Aditya and Zoya's characters have been butchered. I don't get that. Right now they are showing Aditya as being reckless - he was always like that. In the initial episodes, he did so many reckless things. He was exacting revenge on Zoya for something her dead husband did, that doesn't make sense by any normal person standards, but he was doing it because he was hurting. But isn't he hurting now too? It kills him that the love of his life is about to marry someone else...a lot of people in his situation would do foolish things. He is also desperately trying to make up for his the mistakes he made in his last marriage, and he is overcompensating for it.
Zoya is in denial - again just like she was in the initial episodes about the affair. To grieve someone that you love is an easier emotion to deal with than to feel completely broken by their betrayal. And now again, marrying someone that is safe and who she has neutral feelings for is easier than completely giving into this all-consuming love that terrifies her - not to mention the overlying pressures of society and family.
The scars of AdiYa's past are very much omnipresent and they affect each and every action they take. It is not something that is going to be resolved anytime soon. AdiYa are basically suffering from PTSD, and their friendship acted as a band-aid to their grief, but now that love has entered the equation, that band-aid has been ripped off and they are struggling to cope.
I sometimes wish that this was a show for an online streaming platform and then there would be no TRP pressure or any need to add unnecessary drama. But oh well, I'm grateful for what we have and will put up with the occasional dragging of tracks and non-sensical drama, because the bigger picture is that Bepannaah is a beautiful show with some of the best acting and chemistry I have seen between two leads.
Anyway, I hope what I said made some kind of sense, I'm not the best at writing out what I'm thinking :)

I think the CV's are in the same dilemma as us 😆 It's TRP vs Content. C'mon if mindless entertainment can have high TRP's, quality content can have it too. I don't expect much but yeah, Bepannaah deserves to be in top 10 with this content as well. We can't let the hard work of these superb actors down. Even though we can't directly contribute to TRP's, we can always spread the words of appreciation for the actors who took the risk of portraying something so unconventional.

The problem is Jennifer and Harshad actually 😆 We viewers are instrumental. They are such power pact actors that we viewers sway with Zoya and Aditya's emotion.

It's our love for them that makes us react and over analyze!

Agree with you. Just enjoy till it lasts and go with the flow as the concept is different with good acting by all characters in the show specially the leads and am loving the show. I don't want marriage to happen now atleast not for another 2 months just becoz trp's are down.
