First up, this is not a post slamming any characters or view points but just to vent my disappointment with the writing.
Guess BT is up to their old tricks again. Seemingly, the only way to show's the female lead's strength is by weakening all the other characters. How is that true strength??
I liked Hiten & Khemi as a pair and individually cos they were strong, mature, capable and always had their priorties straight. But in order to canonize Santo, the creatives are making them act out of character. Hiten was brave enough to face hanging for a crime, he didn't commit yet suddenly he can't even tell DM the truth. Nothing could stop him from doing what he believed he was right but suddenly he is wavering and letting Santo call the shots. The Hiten that was shown until this point wouldn't be wasting a second listening or arguing with Santo but would have gone full steam ahead and taken charge of his life instead of just complaining and standing on the sidelines with no clear idea what to do next.
And when did Khemi become so weepy and indecisive and needy of Santo's approval and support. She was always characterised as knowing her mind and knowing what she has to do and not do. She knows she should stop the wedding to Shambu, it's the the right thing to do irrespective of what happens with her and Hiten and until now she has been shown not even to need Nanaji's approval to do what she believes is right.
The creatives are destroying these fine characters and ruining their own work, all just to make Santo into a heroine that everyone can admire and sympathise with and shed gallons of tears at her plight. But it doesn't seem to be working completely. Yes some do sympathise with her but others are just finding the character plain annoying. To me she is becoming unrealistic and unrelatable.
Why does every character on this show have to turned into an idiot in order to show how wise Santo is, how much she sacrifices , how much she cares, how deserving she is of everyone's respect. First of all none of DM's adult children can seemingly take charge of their lives or follow the correct path in life. They have already shown what major screw-ups in life Kaddu & Maulik are and now they turning one of the best liked characters in the show into another one. All it shows in the end is what a horrendous father DM is.
And what does it show by Santo taking it upon herself to solve all DM's children's problems herself without involving him. That he is incapable of being a good father and she has to cover for him??? Guess another character that will be destroyed to make a saint out of Santo.
