The show is going at such breakneck speed it’s almost dizzying and hard to keep up. Crazy how you couldn’t say this about ITV when Kyunki originally aired, they would drag a track for so long sometimes you couldn’t care less about it when it reached its pinnacle.

While I appreciate the change in pace I wish it didn’t feel like it was giving us a whiplash. They should absolutely wrap up tracks asap but the treatment should ease up a bit on the momentum since it feels like we hardly have a buildup of anything before the climax happens.

The reason why I raise this concern now is because I was thinking about KN issue. I was thinking how could it be handled well and with depth wherein rather than this being a case of two people who battled extreme odds to be together being reduced to buffoons who can’t solve a single argument in 6 years they make this argument a more nuanced one wherein both sides have their valid reasons for their own POVs and the issue is a lack of communication between them rather than constant conflict that keeps the dialogue open but it’s simply white noise.

Nandini keeps talking about kids needing to be raised right is a concern for which she wants to move back home to India (and it looks like they’ve forgotten about Raunak, the youngest son of KN) but honestly the kids seem pretty decent to me. Poor Samaira is in stress owing to the fear that her parents will split and in therapy, she doesn’t look like a problem child to me rather a child with problems she shouldn’t be having. Parth is a well raised young man and hopefully Raunak turns up and is like his big brother. So the kids issue honestly doesn’t seem like it’s the right pitch.

They could have just made Nandini feel lonelier and lonelier as time went on. Karan is away at work most of the day, he travels when needed and the kids needed her more when they were younger but US makes everyone independent and while that’s a good thing, it’s a very lonely place when you’re all by yourself while your husband is away at work most of the day, your kids are now busy with studies/hanging out with friends and you have no one to talk with.

Karan doesn’t need to stay in the US for more money or because he can’t appoint a US head to run the business while he shifts to India and starts operating the company from here. He could still be travelling around India and abroad as and when the work demands but with the family being back at SN, this wouldn’t be an issue for Nandini to cope with unless it got too extreme and affected his health.

I think they should focus on Karan wanting to avoid staying in India for the sake of his kids in the first place. S1 had a lot of emphasis on how being illegitimate has affected Karan and his life. He was rejected by Damini’s parents and later when Nandini’s family was shown, her Dada similarly objected to Karan as an eligible husband for her owing to his birth. Karan had fought to gain recognition, acceptance as a Virani, a son of Mihir’s but the same didn’t change his history and past. It never stopped affecting him. I wish that they would show how though Karan would love nothing more than to live with his family he would rather stay away from them and in a foreign country for the sake of everyone he loved.

They can make him reveal how despite being accepted by Mihir as a son, gaining the right and recognition to call himself a Virani via Tulsi he still heard comments in hushed whispers and snide remarks, in snickers and veiled insults how the world talked about him. How they would think Tulsi a fool for accepting him and taking Mihir back when she could have just walked away with a fat alimony and self respect courtesy of Mihir’s own deeds backfiring, how he heard people talking about the shame his kids would feel when they would get old enough to understand that their father is an illegitimate child and though they’re Viranis by blood, they shall always be the Black sheep of the family forever and ever. Karan felt like he had endured a lot himself but the thought of his kids growing up with a hell similar to his own for no fault of theirs was not something that he was keen on foisting upon them. He also couldn’t allow himself to be the reason people talked nonsense about Tulsi, so he decided to move abroad where he could protect his kids in a place where no one knew much about them and which allowed his mother to also not face aa many comments as possible.

The argument arises not because he’s uncaring and she’s unsupportive but because both of them are battling their own demons but neither is able to voice their feelings and ergo the differences and arguments.

Such an approach keeps both the characters technically separate individuals with their own experiences, emotions, feelings and truths that they must live with and process but more importantly it allows them to stay a couple who aren’t belittling their history but who are now facing a different kind of battle wherein they are unable to communicate and understand each other better. It doesn’t make either wrong or an insensitive jerk imposing their own wishes on their partner and not thinking about their spouse and their children. Rather it shows an issue that couples can face despite their history - of people coping with their emotions and being unable to communicate them openly even with a partner as it’s not easy to open up your feelings of insecurities, pain, anxiety and depression even with the person you love the most sometimes, not because you don’t want to but because you don’t know how to do it.

what is this issue between karan nandini

I haven’t seen Damini, Nandini and Shobha wear mangalsutra at all. Ok.. they’re modern, need not wear at all times.. Tulsi and Shobha MIL has given them the freedom. Also, Nandini and Shobha have lived in US so it’s not required to wear it there..

But, when she sitting here in a Pooja / Hawan yesterday shouldn’t she be wear mangalsutra and sindoor? It’s an auspicious occasion..

Whereas Tulsi is wearing mangalsutra and sindoor 24*7. Even after her legal divorce..

P.S. Bollywood married actress are so modern. They don’t wear mangalsutra and sindoor 24*7. But, they definitely wear during Karvachauth, Godh bharai, Baby naming ceremony, etc For eg: look up Sonam Kapoor pics in India during these auspicious occasions.

Few of my Hindu North indians say it's not mandatory to wear Mangalsutra🙄.

Where as in South Indian it is mandatory to wear Mangalsutra once you married, worn daily too, not just on poojas. it's not out of compulsion but traditionally accepted and believed.

its not compulsory to wear managalsutra in south india

many women who marry never wear managlsutra to office or college

they only wear a ring in hand or leg

but 70% do not wear who are married daily they come without sindoor or mangalsutra to college and office

older women above 40 wear it frequently may be to office daily but not the younger ones

I'm a south indian😂 it is compulsory to wear traditionally not by law. People these days must not be wearing out of fashion. However, till today 90% of married women wear it irrespective of their age group.

Infact the one you said probably Kerala hindu tradition, is little different.

Otherwise, Karnataka, Andhra and Tamilnadu they prefer wearing it.

I come from Andhra. Out of fashion or this doesn’t go well with jeans, people may opt out. But traditionally all women wear mangalsutra and toe ring. What I saw in my family is they put kumkum like bindi not in the hairline. Even if mangalsutra breaks and needs repair, people tie a turmeric root with a thread until it is repaired and worn back. Traditionally it is mandatory. In the north as well, don’t know about mangalsutra, sindoor is mandatory though. You don’t see dadi, nani etc not wearing it.

Devi maa always has mangalsutra unless she is worshipped as a child or brahmacharini. That’s what I saw growing up

I am one epi behind but it was really good to see Karan-Nandini getting screentime after a long time! Their screen presence and chemistry is something else I thought Karan-Nandini had a younger son in this version, where is he? Even makers lost count who has how many children
