Great post! They forced Bajaj into the storyline because somehow he had to be there as per season 1 . Nothing was developed to justify why he had to do what he did this time . I don’t understand why Ekta even thought that he would be accepted. When she introduced the character in season 1, the audience had no idea that he and Prerna would become a couple . Whatever happened between the pair happened organically . This season he was straightaway introduced as the alternate pair with the FL. Pray tell me why the viewers will root for a character that is supposed to break the main couple of the show? No matter how much ever AnuPre are dissed here , the neutral tv viewers watch this show to see what’s going to happen next in their lives . They don’t watch it to see the villains or side characters . It is the story around the leads that interests them.
I know, if I invest 200 episodes for 1 couple, how am I suppose to accept the female lead with another man, even if he is a saint, in the next 50 episodes? It is not like AnuPre broke up or lost interest in each other before Prerna married Bajaj. Their bond was as strong as ever and Prerna sacrificed for Anurag. Then why would I want to see Prerna with Bajaj if she can give up her whole life for Anurag?
For some crazy reason, if cvs wanted to go with Prerna-Bajaj track after 200 episodes of AnuPre track, then they should have spent at least another 100 episodes establishing an organic relationship between PreJaj without any romantic feeling involved from Prerna's side. Where she has no choice but to live in Bajaj's home while she thinks about Anu constantly to slowly learning to see Bajaj as a person instead of a blackmailer, Bajaj's repentance, Prerna's forgiveness, then her respect for him. And at the same time showing Anu trying to move on in his life too (god knows how that would happen, at least from this Anurag who I saw in first 200 episodes). And only then starting a remotely romantic track between PreJaj. But even while typing this, it does not make much sense to me. I would have loved to see AnuPre as the start, middle and end game, fighting all kasautis in their life together or separately but still always being there for each other like NB and Komo1 track. I dont remember much from 2002 KZK but in 2019 KZK I just cannot see a PreJaj romantic track. If the cvs still wanted to push us into it, they should have done it very slowly showing us a reason for everything without assassinating the character sketch of AnuPre. But oh well, that would never happen. Character assassination and ITV goes hand in hand as the story progresses.
