There was a time when I would eagarly await each episode of KB. I would click, double click IF and all the other online websites, and anxiously wait to see what would happen to Simi and if she and Abhi would get together. I would smile in relish and grin in excitement every time I'd get to see Abhi and Simi catch a glance, saw a few words...I felt a sadness and compassion for Simi's predicament. I could even sense Manju's frustations as a mother pressured by society, wanting the best for her daughters but struggling to convey it. Anita was likable, spoilt but a good sister nonetheless. Neetu was adorable, Anuj weak but caring, Mili was smart and RS tried to remain strudy, traditional and fair.
I liked the characters, but instead of giving each character their own storyline, the whole show is centered around Simi, Simi's sacrifices, Simi's struggles, Simi's this and Simi that. In order for any character to get a storyline,he/she had had to become mean and evil and hateful towards Simi. If not, he/she had had to become either her lap dog (think Abhi) or a messanger for information (Mili). Serious, what on earth to do the other people have to do on the show expect seek vengence on Simi? RB, Anita, Nakul, Neetu. Or hate Simi? Manju, Anuj, Anita, RB, Nakul or Neetu.
Serious. If they don't have anything to do with Simi, they get ZERO screentime - think Anusha, Mili and Abhi now.
In December 2009, I saw this happening, but then I was told I was being negative and shouldn't say anything here because people were getting upset. Had you all listened to me then and contacted Zeetv instead of crying at my posts, then you could have had some say so but now it is too late. There will be no more Abhi-Simi chemistry. You will continue to see forced scenes like Abhi buying her bangles; these scenes will be so outplace - just like the color he buys for her incomparision to watch she wears - and Simi will continue to show her unappreciation - yep, talk about a forced smile.
Simi will continue to spend her time moping about her family and how many more scenes are we going to be subjected with both of them feeding each other, staring at each other, or hugging each other because Simi needs to be comforted? That's not romantic. I am so B-O-R-E-D with this show that I have to force myself to watch it and I wait until the end of the week so I can do it in one dose - like superbad medicine.
I used to write here daily and discuss things but I can see that most of the people with whom I used to converse have gone. I guess they grew tired of the show faster than me.
The show started in August/September and it has been 6 months and 120 episodes. When it started I was recommending this show to everyone and had friends over for KB night. I can't remember the last time I recommended this show or even had a KB night.
For me the show is has ended; I may or may watch but one thing is for certain, I have no more expectation or hoped left for it. Good luck to those how LOVE this show. I cannot imagine what you see in it anymore, but to each his own.
