Honestly after watching this show and anupama and it’s not just shows but in reality too we see that I am scared of adoption. You can’t even scream or tell them anything because any time them or anyone else will say you are doing this because the child is adopted. Basically a parent would never feel they have any sort of haq on child completely and that’s not to forget the child himself/herself wanting to look for biological parents later or biological parents coming back to get the child. All this is too much. No wonder many don’t adopt. And I am not even saying here about Pari but even Angad. I saw comments like Mihir disowned him because he’s adopted and Pari is right to tell him that when we know he didn’t do it because of him being adopted. It also didn’t help that Mihir himself called him adopted in anger.
As for characters, I agree. The new gen don’t even hold a candle to the og characters, but main reason is also writing imo. Like they rush the good tracks but drag the tracks audience aren’t as interested in. Like for example Pari track has been dragged nonstop and given too much space from the beginning of the show. Meanwhile Tulsi finding out about Mihir Noina happens in few minutes. Vridang story was rushed so fast too that they made them boring with no drama and anything. The new actors aren’t great like the og actors, but they could’ve been made good if the writing was great.
This generation has drawn the short stick in both actors and writers. The show previously had so many characters that you legit needed a flowchart to keep track of who’s who and related to whom how
but somehow the characters never felt underwhelming or overbearing. Something about that cast just clicked as an ensemble and they could lift the most ordinary script into extraordinary scenes by their skills. Here nothing feels extraordinary, just extra and ordinary; in that order to be precise.
Also regarding the adoption thing, I think it’s inherently not a bad thing but they’ve made it appear negative because the characters who adopt children are already shown as being biological parents with more than one child of their own already. They don’t show a childless couple adopting a baby or a toddler or even a teenager; they show a couple who already have kids adopt more, be it here or in Onupamaaaaaa.
The situation here is basically being asked to adopt to honour a dying sister and friend’s wish, in Onupamaaaaa, the situation is because she’s too old to have a baby of her own with her new husband and from what I understand owing to my friend who followed the show, she did it for her husband who was in love with her forever, finally married her and then immediately proceeded to express his desire to adopt a child they can call their own, even before they had celebrated one month of their marriage.
In both instances the drama stems because the adopted child feels like they’re being deprived of their rights because they already have to share their parents with siblings who share a blood with them. The drama is because the child in question feels a Me vs them conflict from the get go and wants to be picked always no matter what by the parents as a show of loyalty and love, as a sign of they will pick this kid who is not their own flesh and blood always no matter what. When this doesn’t happen all hell breaks loose.
Look at Pari yesterday, she sees Tulsi in tears leaving the home and yet she’s more concerned about herself and is easily manipulated by her Rannn despite coming to her senses not 2 minutes ago because she easily believes the worst about Tulsi and feels that for Tulsi she’ll always come after her own children, she can manipulate Mihir by tears if not huge but not Tulsi and hence the way she treats her too.
If a childless couple is shown adopting they would have their own struggles and conflicts with their child/children but they wouldn’t be the same as these which are a product of forced drama.
