I don't know why I wrote all of this. I think it's just therapeutic for me to be able to let out all of my love for this character, for validating my personal feelings and conflict, and for never failing to inspire me. I used to laugh at people who would take fictional characters much too seriously and would go to lengths to defend them, but Kuhu made me realize why people do it. It's because you see yourself in them. It's because you see your loved ones in them. It's because it is those characters that, by loving them, indirectly empower you to love yourself a little more.
Loved your whole post and this bit especially Meera! ❤️ Where the show is concerned, we are back to the manipulative writing where Kuhu's resilience and patience are glossed over while her moments of weakness are drawn out and sensationalised. That said, the thought that we love ourselves a little more by loving flawed characters who remind us of of our own strengths and weaknesses is so powerful. Kuhu's willingness to take a risk and put her feelings out there, no matter how unsavoury, is something I really admire about her and wish I could emulate.
