I know we have been talking and talking about this topic for a while, but I think I have a pretty neutral view here.
I've noticed as of late, here and on IG, people have been very frustrated with Malhar's character and to some extent, Kalyani's character as well. In fact, I have not seen fans and viewers this frustrated since the time that Malhar did that whole tiles on her feet thing. But at least at that time, we had hope that things would get better once he fell in love with her. Now that he is love with her, in some ways, many people feel like he has not changed from the old Atom bomb.
From November to March, KalMa progress was slow and steady. In April, KalMa suffered a MAJOR setback and fans thought KalMa were back at square one. But the set back lead to lots of progress for KalMa with Malhar's realizing his feelings, an awesome remarriage, and Malhar supporting Kalyani in her education and observing a fast for her. He seemed like he was all about empowering women, especially his wife.
Since August, KalMa had taken many steps back and viewers are not sure why. That's the main problem. Why was Kethki introduced and all those MU's created? Why did that have to be the case? Vaaman was enough of a villain for that track - Kethki was completely not needed in terms of the plot for that track. But it seems like she was brought with the sole purpose of bringing trouble for KalMa. Maybe the CVS were trying to highlight the fact that Malhar, even when he was SUPER angry with Kalyani would never leave her, but it highlighted Malhar's trust, anger, and insecurity issues instead. Not saying Kalyani is blameless either - she has a tendency to hide things from Malhar or act without thinking/understanding. KalMa never took even a step forward after all those steps backward.
Then viewers were optimistic for new track after August. People thought after Atul's death and Malhar's betrayal, they would come closer and take many steps forward in their relationship.
But this is not the case! Malhar, as I suspected, is now prioritizing his new family above all else. And Kalyani, instead of becoming a more mature, no-nonsense girl like Atul wanted her to, is becoming this regressive bahu type character. Why is this the case? Why are the erasing months worth of progress with these dumb MUs and miscommunications? Has Malhar learned nothing? And why is Kalyani, a girl who told Mai to fight these patriarchal systems for her own rights, falling for EXACTLY the same thing?
I am very much AGAINST a separation, but it seems like KalMa being on the opposite sides of this brewing family feud is the only way to knock some sense into the both of them. But I HATE this idea as well. I want KalMa to be on the same side, not opposing sides. I want them to make progress being together.
I get showing friction and arguments cause the plot needs it. But it is necessary to ruin KalMa's relationship every single time? Please CVS, show some legitimate progress with KalMa that's not just KalMa moments. We all know Malhar has feelings for Kalyani - that has been made clear. We don't need thousands of KalMa moments to keep reminding us that he care about her. We want to see KalMa communicating and building trust. We want to see KalMa supporting each other in tough times, not turning on each other. We want to see more respect from Malhar when he talks to Kalyani before he gets angry. We want to see Kalyani being 100% honest with Malhar. And most of all, we want to see the raabta between KalMaSh and AnuSar. Feels like that's been missing as of late.
