Tell me one ekta serial where the characters didnt suck and thr love story wasnt pathetic ? Nagin is also a modern day soap . And kkb and kb also ..on the contrary imo s1 prerna was far better as a character..she was a no nonsense woman , full of attitude and grace at the same time . Her eyes did the talking ..she was better than tulsis and parvatis of those times..which btw are at par with the pragyas and preetas..
. The only difference then and now in her serials is , that there arent multiple marriages bec of plastic surgery and 20 yr leaps. But now there r only separations , accidents , children getting lost/killed before leaps which creates mu between the leads. And separations..vamps and villains have turned comical and leaps are 5 yr initially.
I so agree with you , Prerna of season 1 was more strong than this Prerna
Prerna of season 1 was a no nonsense person, she always stood for herself and I still remember how he used to stand up against anyone including Mohini, Nivideta
She also joined the rival news channel to give it back to Anurag and his family after Anurag le her, she always tried to make her own identity
She wa s never the mahaan kind of a character like Tulsi andPravti, Prerna was very realistic of season 1
She was very natural, people could relate to her unlike Tulsi and Parvati's fake lectures always
I actually hated Parvati for what she did with Pallavi, Parvati was no saint in my opinion, she was just giving lectures, but Prerna always made independent decisions
She even refused ot accept Bajaj after knowing about Tanish'as truth, she just stayed with him because of her family and she always raised her voice whenever Bajaja suspected her, she alwaysgave it back to him
She also never allwoe dhim to come close to her in their first marriage when Prerna married him forsvaing of Basu Publications, prerna always told him to maintain a distance from her and she was very storgnheaded
Prerna alwaysghave ti back to her rivals Komolika also in the perfect way, Prerna even slapped Komolika many times
How she defend Mukti during the Sharad fiasco, that wasi mpeccable how she stood for a woman's dignity and selfrespect, prerna always supported the right and she was never the one to act holier than though, I loved Prerna of season 1 , she was very strong as a person and never bowed down to anyone who insulted her
She took a long time to forgive Anurag and his family, she even gave back to Mohini many times and she always made sure no one takes her for granted , she wa sready to divorce Anurag and did nto plead to have her in his life
She was like if you do nto trust me, fine I will stay away form you, like she wa snever desperate to stay with Anurag and betrayed poorly. I loved that Prerna and how sheraised Prem 1 as a single mother when Anurag wa smarried with Komolika
I remember when Bjaja came bacl from the dead, she left form his company because she did nto wanted ot stay with him, Prerna as a character was very vocal about he ropinion, she stood her ground always
The way she dealt with Prem thatwa splayed by Karanvir Bohra, how she aced all roles in he rlife as a wife, as a mother, as a daughter in law
She was working even after her marriage with Anurag and never stopped working after marriage,she was very independent
I am just talking about how I loved season 1 Prerna, I am not talking about Anurag or Bajaj here at all!!
