Viren's actions Justified or NOT???

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.👍🏼 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 Saheb❤️. 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 revenge😡 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 adorable❤️) 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.😕

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:

  1. Viren's jealously towards Sid
  2. 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.😭

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. ❤️I liked his courageous, brave and bubbly attitude. ❤️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!👏) However, the storyline is way too twisted for faithful viewers of CCBM who have watched it at least from the days when Viren entered.😕

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.)🤢

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."

Here are my 2 cents. NO, Viren's actions aren't justified. I don't buy this so called child trauma theory.

He is basically an insecure character with low self-esteem. He didn't have an ideal childhood but then life isn't fair. No one gets everything in life, you have to make the most of it. The most fault lies with his own parents and to some extent his grandfather. But that doesn't justify his actions against Sid and Nivi. Now the CVs are trying hard to gain sympathy for this character by making other characters look bad in front of him. lol But its not working. The plot is pathetic and this so called twisted unconventional love-story which makes absolutely no sense to me.
None of the characters in the show (Expect NT dadi) rise upto the expectation. Sid is a nice guy but wish he had more backbone and so his mother. Nivieditha is a lost soul who is wasting her good energy on wrong cause and people. She has no sense of right or wrong.

Of course not it does not justify. The other thing is if they wanted to show PTSD ( Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). They should have showed it a proper way. You are right not everybody gets everything in life.
From what the show is showing is Viren got nothing from his family. No love, support, understanding, this is the basic right of a person. If a child gets this in earlier life, then as an adult they become more secure and dont do things which are wrong.
Who was there to tell Viren difference between right and wrong. This is more of the parents and some extent grandparents job.
When it comes to making decisions, if the dada is alive he will do final decision. I have seen this happening in joint famlies as I was part of it.
We do not understand because we have not expiernced the total neglect.
At least Sid and Nivi had someone with them. Sid his mom and Nivi her dadi.

I don't think that he got "No love, support and understanding from his family". There would be a solid reason why his grandfather took such a step. Viren wasn't good at studies (from the report card thing), might be in a bad company, had disciplinary issues and all. Looking at his parents, looks like no one was there to correct him and show him the right way. When the parents don't have time for their kids and help them with studies, don't they get tutor or nannies for them. In this case, his grandfather thought boarding is a good option for him.
OK, his decision didn't turn out to be the way he had expected. But Viren's parents used to take him out on holidays. Its not like they had abandoned him. It was his own decision not visit his family for holidays. There is a stubbornness in his behavior too cos children tend to forgive and forget things.

The only reason he took that decision of not going home was because for some years nobody called him home and came to visit him. So he thought what was the point.
Even if he was have problems, did anybody ask him why he was behaving this way. why his grades are less. He needed understanding and compassion, not comparision between him and Sid.
Children who are weak in studies need more attention then those who are already good. They need to be given a push in right direstion rather then punishment. if you will explain to a child where he/she went wrong he/she will surely understand. From Virens FB this was certainly not the case.
DS taunts and constant comparision made him what he is today. Sending a child to hostel is not the answer. Not all children forgive and forget.

Whether DS's decision is right or wrong that's another debate. lol The point is the plot makes no sense at all and things don't add up. In a joint family like this, the elder male child is usually given preference and is considered the role model for other kids. But here they have taken things to another level.
DS did what he thought was right at that time. It was his parents duty and responsibility to take care of their son. If he isn't willing to come home for holidays then they should make him understand and talked with DS about the situation. I don't even understand how can a chilld have this much say that he can refuse to come home and no one objects. So basically his parents didn't care. For them, it must be like jaan chuti. lol

Just by showing 2-3 random FB scenes and twisting with basic characteristics of other characters they can't gain sympathy for Viren.

His parents went to him and took him for vacations or he went to his nani's place. It's not like his parents don't care for him. Since Viren wasn't living with them, I suppose they listened to whatever he wanted to do with his vacation. What's wrong with that? Most parents would do that especially since they hardly see him.

Boarding schools can be good too. But you shouldn't make a child feel that his being sent there as a punishment for being bad. that itself kills the purpose of improving him by sending. Child should be talked to nicely and tell me he should try it for certain amount of time and his family always love him no matter what.

As for Viren's actions, any reason wouldn't justify it.
har kisi ko sab kuch nahin milta
kisi ko jameen to kisi ko asman nahin milta

that doesn't mean everyone resort to wrong path to teach lesson/revenge.

But still loveViren😳, you go buddy,give it them!

His parents are also responsible for his condition. The thing is Dadasaheb was the elder of the house and Viren loved him the most. You will feel disappointed with that person whom you looked up too. So yes he is disappointed with his dada and his parents. In today episode he even told him mom why do you care now when you did not before.

Its a show so they have to show few of those FB. The thing about this show is if they wanted to highlight about what happens to children who are misunderstood, the thing is PTSD also happens to children. I read this about online They should have shown it a much better way.
