I hope it begins never. So many of these shows begin on woman empowerment. This show started with how Dhara made a positive impact on Gaumbi's life. Her education turned the fate of the store, and her outlook on life caused the brothers to look up to her as an older sister/second mother. She was an independent woman who was versatile and accomplished. Yet, now she is being reduced to being nothing more than a "wife" for Gautam. Instead of focusing on the positive aspects/hardships of pregnancy, they focus on Anita being a third wheel in GauRa's relationship. Now, I can't relate to GauRa or Dhara, but no woman deserves that!
And now Disha... instead of focusing on Raavi's education and her goals of becoming an independent woman, they decide to make her as someone who is jealous, someone who compares her skin color to others, someone who drinks another's half empty glass of juice... I understand, she is jealous of Disha since Disha is so well loved by Suman... but couldn't the CVs have done something a little different here? Instead of introducing Disha as a 2nd wife for Shiva, why couldn't the CVs introduce Disha as a childhood friend of Shiva's who had a deep crush on him (kind of like Rakhi who changed majors because of him and kind of like Zoe in Sara's fic?). Why do women have to always serve the role of being a man's potential significant other? Why can't Disha just be a friend who tells Shiva and Raavi to stop being so prideful?
We joke all the time about Shiva and Raavi getting together at the last episode... but does this really make them an exemplary couple if they do? Shiva could love Raavi as much as he wants, Raavi could love Shiva as much as she wants, but if they are unwilling to sit down and talk, then what does it even matter if Shiva hides from Disha or if Raavi drinks Disha's juice?
They have so many parts to a relationship left to uncover. They need to address Shiva's education, they need to address Raavi's education. They need to address Raavi's trauma of being an orphan, or Shiva's trauma of being known as a gawar by many people. They need to address Shiva and Raavi's silent understanding of each other, how they will be each other's greatest support even if the rest of the world doesn't believe in them. They need to unravel Shiva and Raavi as chachu and chachi. So many different plotlines that could have equal amounts of drama and depth... introducing a third angle, no matter how innocent, does absolutely nothing to promote how "amazing" their relationship is.
I could go on, but I'll end my rant here before I hurt anyone.
Avi, you are not atleast hurting me. Conversation is the need of the hour and 3rd angle is definitely not going to do that except it may result in Raavi's breakdown and ask Shiva to take her back and withdraw the divorce petition. But what happens after that if they still don't converse, they are back to square one.
And your last paragraph, we are seeing most of it with Kathir and Mullai, except Mullai is not an orphan and the way she still stood up for Kathir in one of the recent episodes against her own sister was commendable. There was never a 3rd angle between them but endless conversations that Mullai would always initiate even though it would irritate Kathir, he still was patient with her and that is how you grow love. not by jealousy, anger and one upmanship😕
