on a serious note..after reading ur post i do realise tht i am wrong on this part..tht ya abhi was shown as a character who was full of confidence who helped simi out from tht rajeev bhalla fiasco...and now he is suddenly getting all tensed up ...tht is contrasting to his character...point agreed..i think i was being toooo optimistic and trying to rationalise his behaviour bt to think of it deeply he is behaving totally opposite to his character..tht is of a confident cool guy.. 😊
maybe we cld say creatives r trying to show a different side of his personality...tht uptill now he was all confident and all bt jab pyaar mein pad gaya hai he has become a sensitive lover...and maybe its creatives way of showing how a 22 yr old wld react if he is in such a mess...dnt knw...

bt i do agree my mistake..i did miss out this point tht abhi was always shown as a happy go lucky..confident guy..nt the one to get panicked....though it wld have been much better if we wld have got to see abhi handling this situation confidently and all bt kehte haina jo hota hai acche ki liye hota hai..so we got to see a different side of abhi..a different side of Neil Bhatt's acting....so i guess its ok..and btw now abhi is starting to control the reins...u saw the last episode...acche bakra banaya Nakul ko...hehe..and now he looked confident too...bt i am only wondering wht nakul wld do whn he wld come to knw tht abhi showed him the wrong girl's pic......abhi ko milne waala hai lambaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bhaashan...hehe 😃

Tas, I do hope you understand where many of us coming from. But don't apologise for holding on to a different viewpoint that you believed was true. Whether it is in television, literature, movies etc, as a viewer it is our right to offer different viewpoints - we all hold different opinions. The important thing is that we should always find support for our arguements or viewpoint, and I think many of us did just that.
Many of us here didn't just come out and say we didn't like the new Abhi or the path the story was taking, we also put forth a number of arguements using the actual show itself and real life examples as to our reasons. We were not here bashing the show for the sake of it - we love KB and Abhi and Simi and we felt betrayed and let down.
To me Abhi and Simi were such fabulous characters I could not believe could have been created by an Indian drama - so contrary to the typical Indian shows and films. I expected to much more as the storyline was heading in such a good direction and then overnight two very rich and complex characters were destroyed. Of course myself and others didn't passively accept it and we spoke out.
If Tas the show meets with your liking then you have a right to express it and not apologise for it even if you are in the minority. However, if the show doesn't, then speak out, don't look for execuses for a storyline and passively accept the situation. Speaking out (even by watching a show or not watching it) is a way of expressing an opinion. In doing so, the creatives will work harder and we will see a continual improvement in not just this show, but others in the future. 😃

Laila, they can still do that even declaring their love. It would have been too obvious had she changed herself for a date with Abhi. Abhi likes her for what she is. Maybe she'll change with time. I don't mind if she stays as it is. Else it'll become very superficial. Like the typical Cinderalla stories we come across on Indian television. This is more realistic.
Guys can like a girl for her antics and not her dress sense.


True, but liking and having a physical attraction are two key components in a relationship. The night where Simi was on the terrace was a wake up call for Abhi that Simi was indeed a very beautiful woman. We all commented on it. You could sense in the way he looked at her that he was astounded at how she looked. A second moment with them together would have sealed that moment and reminded Abhi, not only do I like this girl (and I wish they had showed more of her antics, time with him etc), she's really beautiful for a 30 year old. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and Smitri Kalra is a very good looking woman in reality and if they could have brought forward this aspect in the character of Simi again, it would have added so much more depth to the development of their relationship.
That is the reason why I put foward the scene.

I was just watching today's Us episode after confession .. They could have spent time on the phone and talked about how he actually started falling in love with Simi .. Instead they brought that 32 year old boy going to see her topic and she abruptly hung up !!!

I feel sorry for these two they both need time to spend alone but there is just no space for them to escape and hang out alone
It will only be after this Nakul drama is over I guess
They had showed that tey wud be going to India Gate I wonder when that will be aired ..
I want them just the two to sit and analyze how all this happened.. its nice to realise how they fell in love or what made their hearts feel the want of each other for the rest of their lives...
There should'nt be disturbed and just talk and Simi feel young and happy instead of thinking abt her family and her sibilings 24/7

I agree Shanti, one of the things that is a biggest problem in this storyline is we don't get enough screen time with Abhi and Simi together. When the creatives do have them together, they just stare at each other and the camera spins around them. Sometimes 3 mintues of valuable time is lost in just this alone. Either the creative is lazy or just does not know what to right. Or perhaps the middle aged and not so bright housewife from whom these shows are written does not expect much and so the creative team takes advantage of it.

One thing though, even the most sensible people act weirdly in love! It's all fair .. his declaring his love over the phone instead of in person, the innumerable missed calls etc .. Know of guys from IIT/IIMs who couldn't muster the courage to speak openly about their love but went through extremes to express themselves - even landing up at Simi's place in midnight seemed justified!
😃
True Sukum, it can happen, but even then the way Abhi did it was very childish and could have been done so much more better. It contrasted so much with the confident Simi on the phone over the past few days. Sure I guy could get nervous, but the way he blurted it out it was very immature. I would have written and directed the whole scene so much more differently.

@laila
yup dear i do agree tht we shld speak out our viewpoint..bt u knw sometimes this goes to the extreme and tht creates a lot og negativity..healthy discussion is always welcomed..bt without naming any particular forum i wld like to tell u tht there r some forums where criticism started on a low note and thn sudddenly wht we see is jst criticism and tht takes the fun out of the show...i mean thn we all start viewing the show with a spectacle of finding faults and and so on...so i jst hope tht doesnt happen to anyone....
and as sankum mentioned ppl in love do weird things...they start behaving very different...a strong macho man who never ever shows his feelings to anyone suddenly becomes an emotional person and etc etc.....so my point is we jst talk abt y abhi changed suddenly and all...bt lets atleast think abt it a bit..creatives suddenly showed this different persona of abhi...there maybe a reason..all ppl dnt behave the same always..it depends on the situation..
an important point here is whn there was rajeev bhalla..abhi was a 3rd person who was helping out simi ...bt now he himself is involved with simi..she is his life...and the prob is pertaining to thm ....i think u wld agree with me on this point there r lots of occasions or examples whn ppl r very good at solving other people probs bt whn it comes to solving their own probs they r nt able to..they become really weak..they require the support of others..even the most strong(mentally) person needs or depends on someone or the other in their life at some point of time...and thts wht is exactly happening with abhi...he maybe strong at all points of time bt simi is a sensitive topic for him..

and ya i do agree tht maybe bcoz of our inputs creatives wld make the show better bt at same time our inputs or even criticisms shldnt exceed the normal acceptable limit...and i do appreciate ur point of view ...

hey lots of serious talks..now lets discuss something light and enjoyable...didnt u like the way abhi imitated NAKUL SINGH DAGGAR and said" hum bhi bakayda simi se hi shaadi karenge.".tht was cute na...i hope tht gave u a glimpse of the confident..naughty abhi as earlier... 😃

Tas, for who does it take the fun out of the show? You are the viewer? Why should anyone's viewpoint change your own. You have your own mind, if you like something stay strong and consistent with it. And by the why what is the "normal acceptable limit?" LOL. Does it need to meet with a standard of approval by whom?
Tas, the point made here is that Abhi's character was presented one way, and now it is in complete contrast to how he was originally presented to the audience. It is not our responsiblity to explain why he is behaving in a particular way, but that of the creative team to do it. They were lazy. On top of that, the direction that his character is heading it not in the least bit appealing. He's become a very uncool, weak and an insecure guy who is not in the least bit confident or secure. All the factors that originally made him so delightful.
Yes, the impersonation of Nukul was more the Abhi we know and had he kept more in lines with that from the moment Nukul showed up, it would have been the Abhi we know. A confident and cool Abhi who is not easily threatened even by the arrival of a guy named Nukul.

The reason why I did feel they need to analyze is in the case of Simi she I feel has fallen in love for the first time at this age and have someone say I love you to her . Abhi wud have been in interaction with other friends (girl) and I recall that Anta was teasing him that what happened between him and some girl and did they break p and all so the age difference between them can be shown how and why these to felt that they need to be with each other Abhi has been a svaiour of Simi during the RB fioasco but when and why he fell in love with her could have been portrayed much better.. I hope if CV's are reading this will bring up this thought of showing what bth of them think about each other in terms of loving each other and respecting each others feeling. 😳
