To me its more about how 'believable' the character is - good/bad, strong/weak - and that depends on both the actor and the script. A character is strong if written and acted well. [Bhavani is weak... but she is believable most of the time and has a good screen presence.] Chitnis family is more believable than tha Ahujas.

All characters - Abhi, Pragya, Virat, Amruta - have flaws. But how believable are they? Both Abhi and Pragya have been more believable than V and A... and it has to do with how the characters are written, and what the actors can add on to it.

Perhaps a good parallel is Pragya as the business woman in the initial eps of the 2 yr leap. It was believable she is a shrewd businesswoman now - though they went overboard with 'businessperson of the year' there too, which I could ignore. Her business interactions were shown adding to the believability. But of course, like always, they make her dumb when it comes to Alia and Tanu... so that the plot can move ahead. Virat's intro was about showing off the money he has... and it will be more believable if he goes bankrupt soon.

Virat's scene of throwing money was a major disappointment in the earlier episode. It's not behavior fitting for a businessman of the year...Virat came off more like a spoiled brat.

Agreed. For a character to be believable, it has to be grounded on reality. The character has to be well defined and for that consistency is very important. Once a character is established with all its flaws and features, it has to operate within those boundaries. A character can only go outside itsdefined boundary only when something unexpected happens with it. That's when the plot twist happens and it is upto the writer to explore how the character reacts to this and learns and grows from it. That's your character arc.

I personally like layered characters, who can't be labeled as red or green. In a spectrum between Ram and Ravana, they are some where in the middle. The more you get to know these characters, the more you are intrigued by them. They are like a book full of suspense waiting to be explored page by page.

There are different categories of TV viewers watching this KMTMG show with varying choices, but I feel most may have one or more reasons mentioned below, to either quickly or slowly detach from watching it regularly.

1. Snobbish repulsive Ahuja's, their hypocrite family ramblings, boring pent house activities & parties are mostly unbearable/disengaging/skip worthy, as they were in the first month of launch now with much increased screen time.

2. Increased cringe feeling to watch Amruta within Ahuja family in that pent house on a daily basis, as she is forced inside flat from that refugee terrace stay now as bahu & part of unbearable Ahuja family, also cooking in kitchen, sharing her abuser & violator Virat's bedroom, uttering helpless dialogues of 'I have to stay 1 year for divorce'..doing nothing to annul that mockery of marriage or to punish her violators.

3. disgusting to see Amruta daily wear sindoor, ms and dress up like a hindu married woman when in reality she did NOT have complete valid hindu marriage nor a court marriage. Even repelling to see Amruta still wear Virat's ex-wife Priyanka's engagement ring on her finger along with those rented bangles which Virat gave her.

4. Rise of nauseating feeling to see Babita highlighted and shown as a vile plotting obsessed psycho vamp, rather than protective selfish domineering mom.

5. Those fans who came in & got stuck for Sriti expecting modern drama with a working woman's story, feeling repelled to watch regressive saas-bahu-saazish plots in 2024 with mockery of marriage and law that too mostly wasting Sriti's histrionics in nonsensical scenes & plots.

6. Supposedly strong, smart, outspoken, intelligent, well qualified, sincere, unmarried woman Amruta still continuously shown with NO job, NO regular earnings, NO work, NO house, NO savings, NO respect for several months yet Amruta NOT giving high priorities towards her own responsibilities with a sick divorcee naive mom and college going immature upset brother from a broken family along with many pending bills to pay from her side, which are actually dependent on her.

From an article:

Priyanka, a South Delhi girl who always aspired to marry a wealthy man and live a luxurious life, had chosen her college sweetheart Virat, who possessed more wealth than she could have ever imagined. As the only child, Priyanka was accustomed to getting everything she wanted.

Pratiksha Honmukhe said "I am excited to join the cast of Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye. I am playing the role of Priyanka Bajwa, a South-Delhi girl who lives a very lavish life and is also Virat's ex-wife. She's smart in her own way and always gets what she wants. Now with Priyanka back in Virat's life, it will be interesting to see where the story heads. I have done a few look tests and I really love the outfits the team has put together [*]. I am looking forward to exploring this character and I am eager to know the audience's reaction."

[*reaction mine]

Hmm she dint even came o. Screen officially already audience started to bash her character haha 😄 😆

Well any ways as per her character sketch it looks like is just mind her life style so it will be really tough for babita to taker or meet her again in the virat life

But it should be a good lesson for babita and tourchers for us

Me as audience reaction before her episode air : and me after her episode air: so she will play obsessed character?? What I want I will get bhobcand so she will not be a cameo character or invisible character her fans will get to see her romance with her ex husband? Maro mujhe maro

I tell you if I will see any gulu gulu scenes between Virat and Priyanka I will bash Mukta aunty by dm her with all kinds of horrible imojis😡👽 and will forget she's elder lady☠️☠️🙃🙃

Hmm now ppl are much on cloud 9 as their viru is missing his wife abd the way he was sad bcz she was not around 😢 😕 it seems

Especially in X chidiya

Ab issmey priyanka ka dhamakedar entry with pool drowning will make X chidiya fans wake up from their sweet dream

I expect them to reconcile and may be even get married. Rehoko (assuming it is the same person that comes here) mentioned an interesting take on X - That after Ammu (Lakshmi, mentioned by Dildaar) leaves, Ahujas will go through financial crisis.... I like that take - both are required, Ammu leaving and Ahujas losing their money. Her leaving should've come post the mela eps... but ab hua to bhi theek hai.

Ha ha 😂 🤣

Zarur mile gey na bcz I think he will make hus wiefy jealous 😆 😄 😅

Ek accha hua they dint introduce a mu track as priyanka is his wife

Woh tjoda Rahat hai iss registhaan mein 😋

But today he missed her it seems as per X chidiya fan club

Tho even he is around priyanka he will not be comfortable with out amu around him

Atleast from here redemption track or if he is faking 🤔 it should be a revelation track start kardo mukta mayi

Pichley 3 haftey se u r just testing our patience and playing with our life
