I can’t believe I’m making a topic on IF after what seems like years (my original UN won’t let me login after the update I-F did)
I don’t think highly of KZK, I don’t think anyone does tbh regardless of whose fan you are. It’s often got a cliched 80s feel to it with the dialogues and scenarios and what not. Has it ever been a big hit ratings wise? NO! One or two high points does not make this show a big success. It’s an average success, if that. Kasauti’s reboot should’ve been much bigger. Ekta knows it and so does the channel so fighting over trps is futile because it’s never been consistently huge. Online audience can say anything but we don’t contribute to the ratings.
Anyway, back to my title. Prerna has many faults, she’s not a great FL by any means. She’s a self-willing sacrificial goat ever ready to marry others to save her loved ones. How Ekta thought she could still keep those age-old characteristics God knows.
Somehow though...from all the untrusting soulmate love, there seems to be another relationship developing GRADUALLY (not rushed) even though I wouldn’t say they’re the main focus, I am pleasantly surprised at how real and honest the understanding is between Bajaj and Prerna. Whatever his bad is, whatever his good is, it’s all in front of Prerna. She knows it which is why she can trust his confessions. Bajaj doesn’t ever feel the need to explain to anyone, ever!! But after the accident, the first thing he wanted to do is explain what happened to her. There’s an instant understanding between them. I am a Prerish fan, or should I say I have organically become one because I love how there is an underlying trust between them. It doesn’t need to be romantic, it’s just been built because of the sides they’ve seen of each other.
Prerna has seen Bajaj as a doting father, how he saved her mum despite being so injured. He tells her he’s not a good person but he isn’t THAT bad either. She accept it, she’s ok with it. Bajaj seems to know everything about her. Yesterday when he said ‘Why do you blame yourself for everything like Mohini does?’ - that was actually very touching. He knows how she is. This trust has been organically built.
I don’t support any blackmail/deal/force or whatever it is. So I won’t go there but I strongly feel as individuals, Prerna and Bajaj need each other.
