U r right.during kzk1 my friends used to criticize Prerna's character that she keeps changing her hus,sometimes with anurag n sometimes with Bajaj.Thankfully in s1 she sticks to one person alone.s1 was worse than this with multiple marriages , i agree the constant flip flopping was horrendous but the audience did accept that women could get married, divorced & allowed to move on. that's the crux of it all. this season a lot of viewers gave Prerna's character shit & hatred for even trying to move on without Anurag & that's the problem. sometimes marriages don't work out, people divorce & you can fall in love with another whilst still being in love with your first boyfriend/husband. the heart is a complicated thing. we cannot control feelings. they've also shown Prerna to be willing to get married at the drop of a hat, she's been engaged so many times. In KZK1 eventhough Anurag was married multiple times (being married a few times because the marriages didn't work out is not a bad thing) he did try to be a good husband and be committed to the marriages. but yes it did get too much 😆
lots of one night stands,a lot more misunderstandings. i guess she was trying to be progressive but even this season didn't Anu & Pre get intimate before wedlock? people have one night stands, AnuPre's intimate act isn't more justified then anybody elses just because they were in love. i know some might say that they had dhaga marriage (can't remember if that was before/after) but CV's nullified it themselves by saying not complete etc. again I'm not hindu so don't know but aren't the 7 pheras essential? plus the whole getting married, quickie divorce & overnight wedding confuses viewers like me who have limited knowledge of hindu marriage ritials. (the marriage rituals represented in EK's shows are confusing & always have been, it's so disheartening when your trying to learn about how a hindu marriage actually happens, she could present it much better) but kzk1 wasnt as depressing as kzk2 as prerna lived as the wife of both Anurag n Rishab making both anupre n prerish fans happy,but in this season both anupre n prerish fans r unhappy as prerna is not with anyone😃 i think the main reason is that Anurag & Prerna are being sold as SOULMATES but don't act like it. plus Prerna hasn't been allowed to be happy with or without Anurag or move on with anyone else.
My friend used to say that kzk1 as special that time as it was the 1st love story(Daily soap)on TV.The theme of a woman loving both men equally was also unique that time.So the viewers tolerated it.but now we have lots of options,we don't have to sit and watch depressing show which has nothing new to offer unlike kzk1 which was the 1st daily soap to show star crossed lovers. i wouldn't say they were star-crossed lovers really because they were together but through their own misunderstandings/mistakes couldn't make it work. Star- crossed to me is when external forces are the reason you can't be together regardless of how hard you try. e.g. family, religion, distance etc etc. i think even if AnuPre were to be united they wouldn't have lasted because besides love they haven't got anything else, a relationship can't survive on love alone. that's where the CV's screwed up. if they had shown AnuPre trying to be together, failing but still RESPECTING, TRUSTING each other and COMMUNICATING whenever a kausauti came along they would be worthy of the tag of SOULMATES. that's KZK 2's main problem... & you're right it's too depressing.
sorry for the long rant 🤪
