I wasn’t rolling my eyes while almost dislocating it every time katha ignored ehsan’s advancements, him trying to invade her private space, that longass dinner, ehsan glaring at kaviaan every time they were together, Ehsan & Viaan’s tricks to have katha around esp that party, etc etc…only for them to reconcile like nothing happened. When you spend 20-30 episodes on building one track and then finish it off in 2 minutes, I have every right to complain & possibly, feel cheated as a viewer. I’ve read through forum discussion & I know how much speculation & analysis happened over his character (Even teji’s reconciliation scene was abrupt & disappointing). When so much analysis goes into waste because suddenly the writers realised that a certain section of online audience wants hum saath saath hai, I know how it feels (been there, done that). The director didn’t have say that because they just cleaned the raita they spilt. I’m sorry if I sound offensive.
And tbh, just because most ITV shows don’t know how to write engaging love triangles, it does not mean that the trope is shit 😔
