Thanks Neerja...are or are not the articles the culprit?

To certain extent they are but there is no smoke without fire...

For me, Barkha will be negative:

The way they are showing her as popper every where😡

The montage..this says it all for me...in cb1 we never saw vishaka or any one else but Dev and Radhika...But why Barkha????? Something is going on...

Lot of scenes indicate it too...

Also I feel the Cvs have been editing out RaDEv scenes to glorify Barkha, Padma and Rohan...Why?

The way Cvs are I do think Barkha will create problems for RaDEv..just my thoughts...

OH another Red bull is...why there is no talk about the childhood wedding?????

Why Dadaji, Shanti and Padma or for that matter dadima know about it...???

Neerja, lovey post and agree with your POV...

Instead of using the media to promote the show and create the right interest, time and time again--the articles and even (sometimes) the media segments are misleading--causing an uproar and disgust...

Barkha was brought in as a helper and her bubbliness was endearing at the time there was so much "tension" in the lives of the lead...but now her role needs to be toned down--she does not fit in "with the story line" all the time...But most of all I am annoyed, that it is taking time away from the "real essence of the story" and the leads...

So even if Barkha is a helper---her role needs to come into play only when her "help" is really needed---to me she has outstayed her welcome...

In rela life I have seen character like burkha. She is a chatter box. Her intentions are good. She likes to help people however by poking her nose where it does not belong she could create problems unintentionally.

Neerja,

I take articles with the grain of salt. There were articles last year right after the burning track that Radhika will disclose that it was Amma who burnt her to Dev and finally the whole family would know about it and Amma would be punished. It never happened even at the end.

But my problem with the Barkha thing is the way she is being shown in last two weeks. The montage is one part. So far, there hasn't been a single montage where some other character has been shown (here I am talking about CB1 and CB2 combined). Now suddenly there is this new minor character Barkha. I call her minor because she is neither related to Dev's family nor to Radhika's family. She is just a friend. Yet she is shown in between Dev and Radhika.

Then there are all her scenes. Yes, she is a chirpy friend. But she is also a physiotherapist. It is against their profession to hurt somebody. Previously she hurt Mohini and now she would be doing that to Rohan. Why is that? Who is she to take revenge on Radhika's or Dev's behalf? So they are just creating artificial scenes to include her. If she was such a best friend, how come she was not included in the first wedding or didn't even know that Radhika had got married. Afterall, she was living in Rawal and commuting to Mathura daily. There is no job where you can't even get an hour off to go visit your friend in her inlaws hourse or something. So Barkha is given way too much importance in the scenes and that's why there is suspicion about her.

Also Dev and Radhika are giving no scenes where they interact with each other in a meaningful way. All their scenes include gazing at each other for few minutes without a single dialogue and then the scene is over.

So no article is not the culprit even though all the negative articles have come true so far. It is the positive news in the articles that has never materialized. The screenplay and episodes are the ones that are creating uneasy feelings about the intention of creatives in CB. So when the quality of episodes started becoming better (mid June - mid July), I talked about it. Now it is clear from last 10 episodes that the CB is going in a certain direction where characters of Dev and Radhika are being destroyed to accommodate certain side characters.
