I actually believe that one of the reasons why story is suffering so much is because of the CVS utter carelessness towards Prerna's character.At this point in the show she's nothing more than a plot device.Even if I don't compare season 1 or ejf's previous show, Prerna as a character is very under utilised.No wonder the TRPs keep fluctuating more than PreRish/AnuPre it's Prerna's character.ITV audiences r mostly women and the character Prerna as a woman has completely lost connection with the audience.They can't root for her bcoz they don't know what exactly she wants or what she stands for.Take her pregnancy for example, its supposed to be the most important phase of a woman's life and here at times she barely remembers it.Why didn't she tell Anurag about the baby, when they got engaged?The least the CVS could've done was to make Prerna say the reason behind keeping this pregnancy a secret in her head if she couldn't say it out loud!
Another great example of underutilization of Prerna's character has to be the Komolika track.She could've done so much there. I've been saying this since the beginning this track is just a repeat of Komolika track with swapped places.Just look at the difference.I am not justifying what Anurag did but I am talking about intent.i believe one of the reasons why people felt for him even when he was so terribly butchered was bcoz since day 1 he was clear that he wants to throw Bajaj out of Prerna's life and his actions reflected his words.All Prerna did was to throw a few sassy remarks here and there, she believed her marriage to be real but did nothing to throw Komolika out or EVEN establish her rights or her child's rights at BB. I won't credit her for revealing Komolika's true face coz she was literally handed it on a silver platter by Vikrant.(Thats another thing did the CVS ever hear of a thing called buildup?).
My biggest beef with this track was that this is LITERALLY the same track as last year.Whether or not people think Bajaj and NB are same/different but for me it's the same Prerna as last year- she put her life in the hands of a man she barely knew for something/someone she loved. In 1 yr she didn't understand that there's no need to fulfill her end of the promise when the ppl on the other end are legit exploiting your weakness! Why couldn't she get Anurag out, team up with him and then try to get out of this deal/blackmail? Bajaj was a business shark not a criminal, exactly how badly could he have harmed them? And wasn't Prerna supposed to be a fearless character or something? Honestly all her other characteristics like empathy, forgiving nature ,kind heart falls short in front of the shoddy writing.She comes across as a woman who can be easily swayed, who's bull headed, delusional (Mohini hates her bcoz of the halwa kaand?!) and impulsive.She kinda reminds me of Daisy Buchanan from Great Gatsby.
I don't mean to trash her character or anything but my point is the only way to pull up TRPs is to fix Prerna's character,give her some more depth I mean she has suffered the most in the story, yet character graph is so stagnant! For Kzk2 Prerna Finding love was her dream ,then at least show fighting for that love no matter what or who is sacrificing, only then can ppl find some reason to root for Prerna or root for this show
