When CVs chose COMPLACENCY over CREATIVITY- Pragati became Bani !

Hello Everyone....

Its been a while I have been on the forum. It took a really crappy "Creative" decision by BTF to get me here and what a "Creative" decision it was .😒

I started watching Bepannah quite recently. To be exact - when Pragati started getting clues regarding Bani's "alleged murder". What I saw piqued my interest and I ended up watching the series from the beginning; which is a very huge thing for me because I kinda swore not to watch another Ekta show after she sabotaged YHM.

But the way the suspense thriller aspect of the episodes played out when I began watching the show; caught my attention and as they say the rest is history.

Which is why I once again feel cheated (after watching an Ekta Soap) with how things turned out because it was pure "COMPLACENCY" on the part of the Creatives/Writing team that truly messed up what could have been a genuinely brilliant fictional drama.

Pragati ko Bani bana diya....I MEAN SERIOUSLY ?

They could have shown Pragati being possessed by Bani's spirit. As sick and tired I am of seeing such a track; it would still have been much more in sync with the genre of "Suspense Thriller"

Though the writing and creative team dedicated an entire episode to Pragati explaining the why's and how's and what's and when's it still doesn't make a lick of sense.

Remember when she was just an employee at Raghbir's Company ? She had a solid character graph, proper interactions with people in her life that validated her as Pragati. Like the father-daughter interactions....Pragati wanting to work to earn money for her ailing father...Pragati's father bringing her a rishta etc. are few instances from the top of my head.

Her scenes were never designed as though she was Bani. If they were then her Papa should already know that this girl would never agree to another alliance- phir wo sequence hi kyun dikhate? Hain na?

The entire essence of the character of Pragati,her life, her relationship with her papa everything got erased in a matter of 20-22 mins and for what? Thoda dimaag lagate toh they could have managed to draft a brilliant track with Pragti being herself ans solving Bani's murder- thereby giving Raghbir closure and paving way for a new love story. Waise bhi "hum sirf ek hi baar pyyaar karte hai" theory was proved wrong years ago

As hard as it is IF the CV's and writers truly wanted to show that Pragti is Bani then they should have done it right after the wedding. It would have been better convincing because then her agenda would be well placed and she wouldn't have to "discover" things about Bani- because she would already know them being Bani herself.

But based on what they showed; especially her discovering things about Bani...instead of knowing them...that is a completely different tangent .

Suffice to say her every interaction, self-talks everything up until the revelation that Pragati is Bani makes it hard to accept the very fact.

Funniest thing is when Pragti urf Bani discovers that she was pregnant she is shocked, when she discovers the audio recording where Raghbir says he may kill her - she was shocked...yeh saari baatein aur circumstances toh usse already patha hona chahiye na?

If they truly wanted to show that Pragti is Bani they could have put in a little more effort to showcase a more convincing backstory. But instead Ekta and her team is brazen enough to consider the viewers as FOOLS who would lap up everything thrown their way.

TRULY SAD !!!!

ABSOLUTELY. So many things don't make sense. The recording - if she were Bani she should know right? And only an outsider would doubt RM based on the recording. Coz Bani/Pragati was there when it happened. And moreover, the railing being cut is no reason for blaming someone. And if Bani was the one falling, how did she know in like less than a second that someone had cut it? Imagine if you were falling, in fact, odds are you won't half remember whether you slipped or tripped or something gave way or anything! It would happen too fast. And, Bani had felt a third person's presence. Pragati should know that too!

Also, if Prashant were helping her, why stage that fake marriage with him or Ankit and run away from there? And there was this one instance when Prashant came and told her that he was Bani's muh Bola Bhai. Would he do that to Bani herself?

If the CVs are slightly smart, they can show the entire thing as something happening in Bani's head. Shutter Island types. Coz her only evidence of being Bani is the flashback. Maybe it happens in her head. Maybe her meeting Sukanya or whoever that girl is, in the flashback isn't a flashback but what she assumes would have happened if she had become Bani herself after she got to know that Bani and that girl were friends. Coz, when you are drunk, you speak the truth. I don't see her feeling that she's Bani even once. And RM after being madly in love with Bani, doesn't even feel her presence in Pragati but looks around her for Bani. He has started liking Pragati for being Pragati.

But I highly doubt EK's CVs have brains. They can justify the whole thing as a mental condition but will they? Highly doubtful.

CVs itne creative hote tu kya baat thi.

I don’t know why they get paid. To recycle old stories.

They should thank The Lord that people are loving the lead couple’s chemistry despite their stupid twist and are still following the show only because of them.

Exactly which is why I feel the decision to turn Pragati into Bani was taken that weekend.....Because up until then every thing Pragati did she did as someone who didn't know what was going on.

In Pragati as Bani's FB Seq - She seeks Sukanya's help 3 yrs back when she finds out that RM has shifted to London. But in Episode 35 she meets with Sukanya on Prashant's insistence and is seen asking Sukanya what Bani has told her about Raghbir keeping key's. If she was Bani wouldn't she know that he keeps it in his shoes. After all she is the one who told Sukanya in the first place right?

And moreover, the railing being cut is no reason for blaming someone. And if Bani was the one falling, how did she know in like less than a second that someone had cut it? Imagine if you were falling, in fact, odds are you won't half remember whether you slipped or tripped or something gave way or anything! It would happen too fast. And, Bani had felt a third person's presence. Pragati should know that too!

Pragati started suspecting Raghbir the first time he told her that those gloves belonged to him. And interestingly when she recalls the instances where she has seen the gloves; she not only recalls the railing cutting clip she was shown...she even remembers how somebody had stopped her from entering Raghbir's room and pushed her down from the parapet. Now, that can't be Raghbir na? She saw him sound asleep in the room.

Also, if Prashant were helping her, why stage that fake marriage with him or Ankit and run away from there? And there was this one instance when Prashant came and told her that he was Bani's muh Bola Bhai. Would he do that to Bani herself?

Exactly. I clearly remember Prashant and Sanket kidnapping Pragati sequence where he tells her about going to the last room in the basement and checking it out. If she was Bani she should know about that room because according to Badi Maa, Bani had spent lot of her time there.

If the CVs are slightly smart, they can show the entire thing as something happening in Bani's head. Shutter Island types. Coz her only evidence of being Bani is the flashback. Maybe it happens in her head. Maybe her meeting Sukanya or whoever that girl is, in the flashback isn't a flashback but what she assumes would have happened if she had become Bani herself after she got to know that Bani and that girl were friends.

And RM after being madly in love with Bani, doesn't even feel her presence in Pragati but looks around her for Bani. He has started liking Pragati for being Pragati.

If they can turn this around into Shutter Island types that would be truly great. But I highly doubt it because Ekta and her Team aren't those who are driven by creative satisfaction. It's mostly about hit formula's the TRP audience would lap up. I imagine it would be like her saying "Arey wo Face Transformation wala formula use karo....Wo hit hai KZK ke time se main karti aa rahi hoon....Woh ek dum hit formula hai aur audience maan bhi jaayegi" 😈

But I highly doubt EK's CVs have brains. They can justify the whole thing as a mental condition but will they? Highly doubtful.

Main aaj ainvayi yahan wahan se scenes dekh rah thi and I was like how on earth....how on earth is it possible to show Pragati as Bani; other than shoving the past 30-40 episodes under the rug (Before Pragati declared herself to be Bani) as though it never happened?

Pragati's conversations with her father like they were always father-daughter not father-daughter since 3 years.

Pragati's entire track with Sanket and Prashant where she didn't know her own muh-bola bhai...almost got married when he agenda was to enter Malhotra House ...

The encounter with Bani's ghost....If she truly wanted to scare the family...she could have done it without showing herself being a victim of the encounters....as though she planned everything....If she was Bani ; who wrote Khoon on the mirror or how did the photo frame start to bleed or how did Bani's "Spirit" push the suitcase towards her or how did she discover the doll and 'See you soon Papa" message? She should know all this or should be shown doing all this....Par sach ye hai ki all this was discovered by Pragati.

Somebody deliberately wanted Pragati and Raghbir to not unite...for Pragati to misunderstand Raghbir...wo waise hi rehne dete....Par nahi they had to turn her into Bani

Even I think the decision to make Pragati Bani was sudden. Coz, I remember during her wedding with Prashant, he beat her up and tried to lock her in the room and all. Why would he do it then? And, I skipped a few episodes so I don't know the gloves part but yeah, he was sleeping so it wasn't him. And moreover they kept showing some ghost like character right, outside that basement room. And what is the explanation for them not being able to do any puja at home? Like, if Bani is Pragati and not a ghost, she can't influence religious activities right?

Arey math pooch yaar....I stopped watching Ekta shows primarily because of this reason- she messes it up real bad. But I thought this is a thriller- at least ismein ruin karne ke chances kam hai...but nahi....Madam destroyed this show too.

He was Bani's Myh Bola Bhai- why do that entire drama then? Prashant was trying to get into Raghbir's office...that even Pragati could- which she did and they could meet outside and plan and stuff - why the wedding angle? Because Pragati was never Bani then.

I clearly remember Prashant telling Sanket (After the Kidnap drama) how Pragati's entire life is going to change...How those she thought were good people (AKA Malhotra's) will turn bad and the bad people (Himself and Sanket) will be proven to be good. I remember really liking that scene because it clearly had that suspense wala vibe. It clearly hinted towards Pragati finding things NOT Bani....but Well!

Regarding the gloves - so what if those were his? Does it mean that he killed Bani? How come she is not even giving him the benefit of the doubt that somebody is planting evidence against him? Pragati wasn't shown to be that dumb or someone who draws conclusions fast. It's all the writers and their crappy writing's fault.
