Kripa is haughty & toffee-nosed! What happened to the innocent, gullible, soft-spoken girl from Naintal. Mumbai ki hawa lag hi gayi, ladki ko!
I found Kripa nauseatingly irksome yesterday! A girl who did not have the gall to face Angad, had the guts to be so rude and arrogant towards the guy, whom she was actually supposed to apologize!
I understand that Ekta Maayi was trying to show the viewers that Kripa is still in love with Angad, and his coolness towards her is provoking her to react in such a manner….but the message that came across was that Kripa is not just an infuriating character but quite ill-mannered, if you may please!
Kripa should have ideally gone off, once Angad banged the door on his face (which I found very cute, though again pretty ill-mannered) but no, Madam chooses to not just open the door and barge into a guy's room, but scream on him and call him all sort of things! Hey, its not written anywhere that just because you choose to apologize to someone for the mistake you committed, the other person has to necessarily forgive you, that choice is with the other party, and he might or might not choose to show large-heartedness! And all that Kripa says to Angad was so disparaging, hypercritical & judgmental! It was said purely out of prejudice & preconceived notion that Kripa has for Angad! Kripa made the same mistake again, for which she had originally apologized!
Kripa's character is turning out to be very, very confused. The writers are trying to portray her as a simple, small-town girl who is highly self-respecting and courageous and is here to make it big. But the message coming across is of a girl who has completely lost sense of her self, and is just being pig-headed, overconfident & egotistical, without any rhyme or reason! If this was Kripa's attitude towards Anita, Naina or for that matter Kartik, it would have been understandable, but why is she behaving so badly with Angad, who seems to be such a gentleman in front of her!
The entire charm of Kripa lied in the fact that she was so different from Angad, but as we come to see now, she is as bad or possibly worse than Angad, at least he doesn't seem to make a show of his virtues and enacts what he believes! There is still a lot of chance left for Kripa's redemption, I am sure once she is let down in love, we will all feel sympathetic towards her, but now-a-days, Kripa is definitely not one of my favorite characters! She is far too conflicting & contradictory as a character, my opinion for her keeps changing everyday! For a character to have uniform appeal, its very important that the viewers feel just one emotion towards her / him, and not oscillate between extreme likes and dislikes, such characters generally lose steam midway!
Finale – A word for the Bose Siblings – The only character's who are consistently sensible and intelligent!
A final word, I think its time again for Kripa to get a tight slap on her posterior…..that should set the lady on the right path again!
