CCTV sabse pehle Viraat ke dimaag mein fit karna chahiye.Viraat just believes whatever evidence is shown to him as proof.

A couple of days back I was reading an article on the Iwmbuzz regarding flawed ML.characters.Its one thing to have flaws in any ML character but there is complete absence of logic in today's ML characters if not all of them.

Rajeev and Tara along with Ishika are the main villains in this serial.While Tara has been exposed by Amruta Rajiv and Ishika are yet to be exposed for their heinous acts.Viraat for his misguided revenge against Amruta did expose Jayesh and Ishika,'s affair before Amruta's Aaji and broke the engagement of Gautam and Amruta.

It has been hinted that Viraat has feelings for Amruta so why is he not acting on his feelings then? If Viraat marries Amruta somehow for the sake of revenge or gets married to her by force then all we are witnessing is the return of Bhagyas in another form.

Also the CV's are not clear about Viraat's character.One time he's portrayed as saviour another time he's portrayed as a villain for her.

Viraat thinks that all women are classic gold diggers so why does he feel jealous or has feelings for Amruta? And as I have said before this saviour type of thing has been done by other ML's too.

Viraat would only ask for divorce on one pretext or the other from her so what kind of chemistry can we have between the two? Constant reunion separation won't bring the required TRP's unless it's not executed properly.

Viraat needs to be somewhat different from other ML's.Also can the CV's please insert some common sense into his character? The guy has won a Business award yet gets swindled out of 10 crores from his accounts.How does he run the business?

I don't know much about Abhiraj but he has eyes for Amruta that's pretty much clear.Abhiraj is also supporting her something which should have been Viraat's job.

Hmm, I would only correct you on the villains matter, Babita is the main villain here. Ishika, Tara and Rajiv are nothing compare to her. If Ammu enter that stupid and delusional household she will never be happy with Virat because Mama's boy will always protect his Mother Matlabi. Typical villain Saas 🤦

You are absolutely right! Yeh toh Bhagyas se kam nahin hai. Farak here is only Ammu. Honestly, this could've been a simple show with Ammu being Independent and single rather than what we are served 🙄 And tbh, bina Sriti yeh show survive nahin karta.

Virat character was ruined the moment they brought the MU. The lil' creator inside me would've wrote it differently, after that Lohri fiasco and their beautiful conversation, I would've developped their friendship, to build trust between both, even New thought on Virat about women not be all alike, developped a soft corner in his Heart, then bring Aaji for whatever she did, and only then MU... something like that at least to explain the dokha or whatever...but yeh toh ITV hai elaboration ka naam nahin Pata un Logon ko bass bagwass karna mahir hai 🙄

Abhiraj in that convo with Babita mentioned Virat wants to control - because he cares and wants to protect - unfortunate parallel with earlier revealed 'need to keep things under her control' of Babita. And the way this need for control plays out with Virat seems to be worse than Babita - while she may be capable of only emotionally hurting her loved ones in the name of protection / care, Virat goes physical along with it too.

Good question from Amruta the other ep 'was your concern limited to that? (coming to BMC office and checking what happened but cant have the same concern here)'

He locked the handcuffs himself - can be looked at in 2 ways: He wanted to do it (I don't mind hurting my people...), or he didnt want the police to do it (... its better than others hurting them). [grey font to be read as a sentence too.]

But... It is tough to make sense of Virat and what he does. Hopefully whoever is responsible for the character has a good sense of what they are doing. [Though I may be wrong, I do think that if Virat was played by an actor of similar stature as Sriti, they would have made his character much more sensible... just like Amruta's MU was made much more sensible and her character too has most of the time stayed consistent.]

He is all over the place in the past two eps too - from calling them fraudsters, thieves, pagal family, ... and then saying he doesnt care about any contracts or legal documents... his desperation to throw them out .... to what then seems like forced scenes of concern when something went inside her eye. Again giving the impression he would like her weak all the time so that he can protect her and care for her... but if she dare does something of her own... uski khair nahi... hurt her so that she falls in line, just like his mom does even with him.

While the mistress fooling them even with the details about what exactly is the limits of their property was brought out yesterday, their response again was similar to the 'kya farak padta hai' dialogue mentioned earlier.

They dont care if one of them swindles them or does something really bad but shouldn't be someone else - goes well with even her illegitimate affair and kidnapping acts.

Amruta and co were right in pointing out things - they are 'bewakoof' and gullible, but wont mind going lengths to have things their way, just because they want to and they can.

In a way the terrace thing also explains why mistress wasn't shown objecting to the anniversary party going on in there - which, again, didn't make sense when it was shown. Probably a nice cover up for anyone who felt that to be odd.

Needs to be seen to what extent she will be exposed - certainly wasn't expecting this terrace thing to come up - and how the Ahujas will deal with her later on. Like Rajeev or will some other rule apply?

None, let me reiterate none from cast or crew is properly introspecting, analyzing or brain storming on Virat's character like how some of fans/viewers are doing.. he is shown cynical, vile, immature, unstable, controlling, egoistic, misogynist who needs some quick medical treatment.

But they want to instead give hurt, distrust, MU, past baggage as his reasons & just want to force emphasize Virat is falling & getting possessive for Amruta, that's it.. by using some irrelevant bgm songs mismatching with situations & Shaky monologues as their support vehicles, to drive that across unconvincingly.

Adds to my pov then, that if the character was played by an actor of similar stature as Sriti they would've been forced to write him more sensibly.

A successful business man first needs to be a good psychologist since the success depends on how he sees through the characters working opposite him and for him in his business. Does Virat fit this bill at all from his past behavior?. He seems to be an erratic/impulse/unstable/narcistic person who cannot handle his own emotions sensibly. He has bought a penthouse in Bombay without checking the house before bringing in his family. From what I thought, penthouses have separate entrance or lift to their place which cannot be accessed by the other occupants. There can be no way that they can have a common terrace at all. Normally, when we watch a serial, we try to make ourselves familiar with the leads' home and get familiar with it before we start focusing on the story. Here, we cannot understand the head or tail of the residential setup except that the leads' families meet and insult each other.

On top of that, Virat has a mother who is so inflated in ego that she does not see that except her family, no one seem to like or bother about her at all. The day the Chitnis entered their penthouse, she was answering Nimrit about why Amruta keeps interfering with them that it is because the Chitnis are jealous of them because of their money. She must realize that even if she has the Kohinoor diamond on her head, people will only pity her for her character/toxic mouth and not envy her at all.

Actually, feel very sorry for Arjit. Having been paired opp Sriti after her very successful tint with Shabir as Abhigya, he would have had trepidations about how he is going to perform but he was definitely doing a good job and brining in proper emotions early on. But, Aaji entered and the whole scenario has changed. Not only did her strong character get spoiled, but Virat's also.

Leaps are normally brought in after at least a year or two a serial gets telecasted but here, there is definitely a need for a complete change similar to leap if the writer has the intention of promoting AmVira as a jodi. He needs to revamp Virat's character asap.

Totally agree ! They just can't bring them together at this moment. Ammu should find a New job and grow Independent while Mr. ML work on his issues and all. Then phir Milenge track.

Idk where they are going with the story but it will be a Big mistake to ship them now and give us a so-called shaadi track.

Let me add to that further-it seems entirely possible that either Priyanka may have been a classic gold digger or Viraat might have really loved her but bcoz Priyanka was from a middle class background Babita did not like her and caused the separation of Viraat and Priyanka.

Who knows Babita might have really framed Priyanka?

Whatever it is Viraat is an impulsive ML that can be clearly seen from his actions.He acts randomly before he thinks the consequences of his recent actions like sending Amruta to prison regarding that accounting fraud.

It's natural for Viraat to have attraction towards Amruta like any man can have for a woman but so far it's yet to be transformed into concrete feelings for her.

Viraat so far has been a classic failure both as a Businessman and as the future mate for Amruta.Still I won't be surprised if Amruta falls in love or accepts Viraat with all his faults as the FL.

So it's upto Amruta to change Viraat's outlook towards females.Its the same thing with Purvi and RV too in the Bhagya.

If all the time or most of the time an FL has to change the nature of the ML then what are the ML's supposed to do-act like a robot on the instructions of their family members or the vamps.

The best ML's I have seen so far has been in the Fantasy series only whether it was Maahir/Ritik/Veer or the latest Raanav of Bekaboo.Shivaay and ASR too had some common sense in them.

I am not specifying that Viraat has to be like the above mentioned ML's only.Viraat should be quite different from them but the CV's should remove the sense of entitlement within him.

Otherwise there's no point of a love story between the two.The CV's need to specify that whether Viraat still thinks Amruta as some sort of a classic gold digger even after she got herself cleared of the fraud allegations.

Viraat and Amruta's future wedding life would look lifeless then.Amruta would have to constantly issue character certificates to Viraat regarding her innocence like it happens in the Bhagyas.

If Viraat is not supporting Amruta now then I don't see him supporting her after her wedding with him.

About priyanka... yeah.. both the things seem possible for me too.

well... bad if thats how the MLs are - robots whose brains have to be controlled later on by the FL else someone else (here Babita / Ishika / someone else) will take over the controls.

[Can I request you not to have the entire post in bold? I found it a bit difficult to read through the post.]

Yes. Kind of a rough deal. Some details given to his character would've fit much better with Amruta and Sriti is quite capable of playing them really well too. In the least it will feel believable. Did feel that about the divorced past for Virat - would've preferred it to be her past for multiple reasons. And having dealt with that past along with the other things that went on in her family, having a kind of grey Amruta (to the extent they are doing with Virat) would've added a couple more layers to Amruta. Could've been that she had the need to control things because things around her are all falling apart all the time and she struggles to keep things together ... but she can be herself around a compassionate / understanding kind of Virat.

Its not easy to play these multiple levels of a character and likely turning out to be kind of overwhelming for Arjit. But these were things the makers and casting directors had to think through. Having said all that, its not all that bad too. Not that he is a misfit, but the script and the scenes could've been much more tailored for him. [In other words, will complain much more about the makers than him.]

Have felt it since a long time that a monologue of what he is thinking would go a long way in helping people have some empathy(?) towards the character. It really is odd for me that a man with a divorced past, who doesn't want to get married at all or be in love, does not wonder or think about things when he has these Freudian slip moments like 'Meri Banker' and all the other similar phrases.
