Agreed. I just don't get why the writers won't focus on Arpita and Sundar. The actors are married in real life and share a cute, laid-back chemistry and are super likable. The writers can do a lot with these two characters and their cute kid. It's the perfect foil for Arylie's intense, passionate love-hate drama. Surpita can become the safe-place for the audience when all the drama becomes too intense. As you said, give them a parallel track. For example, Sundar can become a restaurateur now and Malini can try to sabotage his business and Arpita and Sundar fight back, in the process get the inkling about how unhinged Malini still is. That would give them something to do. But no, they just stand around looking worried, doing nothing all day while Malini swans about their own house, screaming at their child. Arpita speaks up once in a while but never enough to make much of a difference. It's frustrating.

from the beginning, they have failed to utilize these other side characters. their only job seems to be to react to whatever the leads are doing. it is really bad writing. the reason longer format dramas have multiple characters is so that you can have multiple arcs. it prevents the audience from getting bored and feeling fatigured. it also allows the writers to showcase multiple romances and different type of relationship conflicts. so audience can have a selection of couples to root for.

there are many dramas where I really enjoyed the romance of the side characters and found their arcs really moving. even for older characters, having their stand alone scenes where they are thinking about various aspects can be fantastic -- it can not only drawn in older aunty audiences but also gives a chance for younger generation to see how the older generation feel about certain issues and why. practically there are benefits as well to giving well defined arcs to side characters -- it allows the leads to take breaks and not have to be shooting without having a life. I feel like the writers think that if they give some room for other characters to have scenes, the show won't be focused on the leads or something...

To me it just looked like she was feeling sorry for herself that she couldnt achieve any of her dreams. She was behaving like a victim…when my point is that besides her marriage breaking up none of her dreams needed to be sacrificed, she herself did not work towards her dreams and ran to that toxic village.

Her condition today (except her marriage) is largely her own choice ….she chooses to stay in a shithole and then cries that nothing works! This is like saying, I fell in mud so I am crying but I will sit in the mud and cry more instead of getting up.


And yeah they both are looking to be unhealthily dependent on the relationship. Which for me is a big no no. Dependent, unhealthy love is conditional and selfish. Sooner or later, it ruins itself.

There is nothing romantic in this. Nothing to root for in this addicted pair of idiots. Its just a sad and pitiable story of bad choices then. Because I for one am never going to root for Aryan and Imlie to get back together again until they can separately learn to live stable lives. Getting back together without working on the problems on their own means they learnt nothing and just got back to using each other unhealthily again.

Bold2 - I can be wrong but I don't think the point of Imlie's condition is to make her look "mahaan". IMHO, it's to show us that she is as broken as Aryan is. Of course a section of the audience will blame him for her misery. But Imlie got a lot of criticims too when we saw what Aryan had been up to in the last 5 year. Was Imlie responsible for his actions? Of course not.


But these two people just can't function without each other. They managed before they knew about each other, before they fell in love. But that was before. Now that they do know each other, have all these memories of loving each other, they just couldn't let go and move forward in a healthy way. They are both stuck and only they can rescue each other.


I do hope when it comes to asking for forgiveness, they both ask.

just my personal feel but I am not sure if that kind of romance is really good. when I was younger, I would have found it very romantic but as I get older, I think as individuals, we need to learn to be on our own in some ways.

this weekend, I met this old aunty who had very recently lost her husband. they had been married for over 60 years!!! but she was going about her regular life. when I see the strength of those aunties, it is impressive. then there are aunties who completely break down when their husbands pass away and really struggle with trying to find a life without their spouse.

it is not only death but sometimes, there are other issues like jobs or some conflicts that take the spouse away from the home either physically or emotionally. if we cannot be on our own and be okay, how will we face those storms where for reasons unexpected, we have to face them alone?

I agree with this. A person must strive to be a happy and well rounded individual first and then look for a partner. If you are lacking inside, you ultimately end up using your partner as a means to fill your void…… it looks super passionate and romantic at first but it fizzles out or blows up in your face because, as an individual you do not have a well functioning life in the first place. Partner is not supposed to be a crutch that bears my failings. Partner is someone who shows you a different view of life and you learn something new from them and grow on your own. A certain level of independence keeps the relationship alive. Clinging to each other, unable to function without each other shows they are just two hollow people looking to fix their own holes by using each other.

Like whenever Imlie used to say Abp is her bharosa and dhruv tara I always felt she was unnecessarily burdening her partner with an expectation of continual support. But I hoped that she would learn from him and become stronger on her own. But it never happened. Had she some confidence and trust in her own choices and in her own mind, she would not be so needy, would not run to Narmada for validation in the early bachha track…. And thats what happened, without him, she has no direction to even live life.

With Aryan, he needs Imlie to feel happiness and enjoy life. This is abnormal. Self harming is a consequence of a very unhappy mind.

I rooted for Aryan and Imlie when Aryan pushed her without becoming her crutch. I rooted for them when Imlie showed him the mirror and pushed him to open up. I cant root for them now. What writers are showing now is not love but unhealthy dependence.

Of course romance like this isn't good. But this ITV and even romantic fiction in general. If couples can move forward in a mature manner, then where will we get our drama? In real life, people should move on and learn to live for themselves. Get some therapy, if needed. After all, this is the only life we get and we owe it to ourselves to live it to the fullest, even if we are alone.


But this is not a realistic story. It never was. They can actually feel each other! He ripped away a freaking cardoor at one point to get to her! She did a tandav in a firecircle for him! They are soulmates of the epic, high-drama kind. That comes with irrational, obsessive, self-destructive behavior. Aryan and Imlie just can't thrive without each other. It is what it is. In fact, if they both behaved like healthy people, the trp would plunge and audience would be disappointed.


Maybe, after they get back together and a few years pass, the intensity will mellow a bit and they will learn to be more self-dependent.

I agree at this point they are unhealthy but then its not a reality. Its a romance fiction. Romeo and juliet also.died for love and we still remember them bcz it gaves us feels. Same is with Arylie. Arylie were the air for eo . How can one breathe without air. And it makes a good romance for me. If anyone has watched bridgeton. There was a beautiful seen where Anthony's mother just couldn't function without his father . When he questioned her she told him his father was the air she breathed. Without hi there is no.air. Just displayed the immense love they had.

Its stories like this that put wrong ideas about love and marriage in the minds of youngsters. And as for trps, had they shown Imlie having a job and living a settled life but still sad or angry for her marriage….it would have made all women root for her. But alas, right now there is nothing about her that I want to root for.

In KRPKAB, Sona and Dev also separated after a fight but Sona was shown to still be living a well rounded life with her daughter even if she was angry and bitter inside. Dev had become a womaniser and ignored his family but he still took care of his work. It was a very successful show.

Point to note is male leads like Dev and Aryan are shown to emotionally suffer but still they work and keep theit career afloat.
In today’s age, a young female lead regressing so much after a breakup that she cant function in her career is a very bad example to root for.
