I'm just putting my opinion here in a safe space, because it has become a R versus V thing now on mf, and that's a zone I clearly wanna steer clear from especially coz idc about Amrit's story post-leap.
So basically Amrit was introduced as a normal girl living her dreams through Ranjhan, who was scared and lived for her Bauji's acceptance. From the first episode itself, the contrast between Vashma and Amrit was evident and each of them had their flaws ~ while Vashma seemed to act first, think later, Amrit was more of think first, act later, and that is what made their friendship so unique. Radha came in with her innocence but maturity and was more of a think and act together sorta person, and had lived a tough life on the streets, knowing that dreams and reality go hand-in-hand though she had her moments as she was also not well equipped in this grihasti as an orphan. These differences came from their upbringing, the way that the Sahanis thought about their IZZAT > anything else and were way too involved in the matters of their children, to the point where Rab Rab Aunty and KB were literally the olden days ka CCTV camera spying on Amrit and Uday vis-a-vis Baigs who were initially shown to be more progressive, especially the way they encouraged Vashma and chided and tried to keep Abrar away from the League, yet never interfered actively in their children's lives or choices AND Raizadas, who despite being foster parents (which was a later addition?!), were more like friends than parents to Randheer.
It should have been a journey where they each learned from each other and became more better. But while Vashma and Radha were shown to suffer the consequences of their decisions/flaws/actions in moments where they acted on their own (eg: like when Vashma agreed to meet Faruq after the altercation with Uday, acting on impulse, Radha getting framed and blamed for the coins robbery because she was very curious about them), the burden of Amrit's fell on Randheer's shoulders. That does not necessarily mean her love was fake, because she had not experienced actual love before the age of 16, never had understood the true meaning of it, unlike Vashma and Uday for instance, whose relationship had grown from childhood friendship to love (they have that atleast 10+ years of leverage over her and understood each other pretty well like the back of their hand) OR Radha who thought of love only in terms of service and sacrifice and was willing to do anything to finally be a part of a family, so I dont agree with that part of the comparison, because it was set at a time where women who grew up in conservative cultures like her did think that way that the onus should be on the guy to win the family's hearts, and all three had separate trajectories which could have been utilised better, with learning points, and it would have become some pretty strong tales in the end ~ with this chui mui Amrit coming to fore as the authoress Ranjhan versus Lalaji and finally giving her dreams some respect, and Randheer supporting her.
It did come stronger from Randheer's side because he was already in love with her thoughts as an individual and wished for her stories to be disseminated to the public. Where they really messed up in my view is when they had Randheer not cater to his own self-respect after telling Lalaji to give him one month and then being made a sacrificial goat. Before the whole sequence where he takes the blow meant for Bhanu, the progression with all 3 leads also seemed to be happening, with each having their own unique dilemma to solve. Then they lost plot with Amrit and Randheer being central to the point where they BOTH were meddling with matters that were outside of their scope, they lost track of the main plot which was the literary form of love, and we all know what then happened to the storyline for all our Fab 5. I do not wish to analyse anything post that because it stopped making sense to me and I cannot use any means to justify her from that point on after Vashma's nikah to Faruq miyaan.
It was a lost opportunity from the CVs and writers, who were not able to do justice to these marvellous stories that were promised to us in the promo, and while they had Vashma and Radha learn in bits and pieces, this fake idolisation of A/R post a point then really ruined them for S1 peeps!
