Let's take a look at the character graph of Viren:
A cool dude who comes on a red bike and beats up the goons who are harassing a distressed Nivi.đđź But once he gets a phone call, he gets annoyed by Nivi and leaves her stranded. And that call is from one of the Sood members who inform him about DS'ill health. He gets there at once and is also convincing Sid to agree to DS's last wish. We can clearly see the respect he has for his Dada Sahebâ¤ď¸. Yea, a grudge between Sid and Viren is felt but it's not too extreme.
And then he is looking for the girl who's behind all this. (Dushman ki Beti lol) His eyes full of rage and revengeđĄ and wants to harm the girl who is behind all this.
Then, we see how Nivi and Viren finally get married very very quickly. At that time, the CTs wanted us to believe that Viren is taking a revenge on Nivi for DS' sake. Remember the time when he disappeared right after their wedding and Nivi was tortured by Soods? Then we assumed that Sid's character will be brought to light by bringing the whole truth about JW and Keshav. Nothing like that happened.
Then, we are taken on the romantic ride of NivRen, (which was indeed adorableâ¤ď¸) but obviously Nivi's character is supposed to be of a timid and shy girl who does not open up very quickly. Then the mysterious stalker story starts. So, we get a mixture of romantic scenes of NivRen and followed by that scared Nivi who is being stalked.đ
Now, we come to know that Viren is behind all the dirty things that happened with Nivi and get to know the reasons behind it:
- Viren's jealously towards Sid
- Viren being deprived of family love as a child.
Yet, does this really justify his actions???
He has harmed one and all by his actions. The fire which could have turned drastic and killed the whole Sood clan. Then changing DS's medicines. (when initially he was shown to clearly love DS)
I agree that the Soods have time and again shown their preference for Sid than Viren. Even after being grown ups, there is a comparison between the two.đ
But, I'd have to say that the storyline is not practical in the sense that it does not follow its initial story. I think the CTs knew that NivRen was becoming a popular jodi, and they couldn't show that Viren had any grudge against Nivi. So they took this weird turn and are showing the rift between two brothers. We all know that Viren's character was mainly introduced to raise TRPs. But still, I loved the character. â¤ď¸I liked his courageous, brave and bubbly attitude. â¤ď¸I still loved Viren's character when he was shown as the stalker because I assumed the reasons behind doing this will be concrete. (which is not happening at all)
At the end, the CTs are just trying to gain sympathy for Viren's character that was love-deprived as a child. Is that the only way you can justify his doings?? (I"d rather prefer CC as the stalker, even though it was obvious it would have made more sense.) However, by simply adding a few flashback scenes that show the unfair treatment of DS with Viren, they cannot change the initial character of Viren. How can they just assume that the audience will be swept by some flashback scenes? Yet, I'd have to say that Kinshuk's acting and all the tears do show that he is deeply hurt. (Bravo Kinshuk!đ) However, the storyline is way too twisted for faithful viewers of CCBM who have watched it at least from the days when Viren entered.đ
The storyline of CCBM is quite fractured, but I know that in Indian soaps this isn't a big deal. The CTs just aim at raising the TRPs weekly by adding anything which may not be coherent with the story. It's just that with CCBM it has happened far too many times and way too illogical and within a very short span of time. (They totally destroyed NivSid love story and introduced Viren. But once again, they've destroyed Viren's character.)đ¤˘
Oh well, I'd just say I'm sorry but I'm not convinced by the reasons behind Viren being the stalker. But we all know that Nivi will support Viren and be his pillar of strength and make him a good boy. But, we will not be able to see Viren as we did before.
As they say, "Trust is like a mirror, you can fix it if it's broken, but you can still see the crack in the reflection."
