Usually the channel and makers try to lift up the image of the characters in the eyes of audience. But here it seems to be the exactly opposite! Why I don't know. Its surprising and strange.

Its a known thing that when a show doesn't do well for long time, the channel takes up things in hands and tries introducing weird plots with shock factor. During that stage, the show looses some what logic and appears disjointed because the story has been changed for the sake of TRPs. Sometimes the tricks work and people get pulled in.

However what i fail to understand is...this has been seen in CB2 since the March month! For me, the episodes started appearing disjointed since the Holi M.E! Why so? I didn't plunge deeper and kept watching...because the loopholes were small and tried ignoring them initially because every show has them. Yet, the lack in the presentation was easily visible.

CB2 got excellent ratings in the first few weeks of its launch, despite heavy competition from World Cup and IPL. Then why in the earth did they start playing around with the story? There were inconsistencies ...which seemed to have grown bigger and bigger with time!

They never knew from the start as to which route should be taken. I do watch certain other hindi soaps, and find their stories/presentation so well etched! Their story excites me and not the actors playing their parts. In CB1, the story pulled me first and then it was the actors. But in CB2, its only the actors because there seems to be no story. They are running in every direction. Nonetheless, they did have something to tell and i was watching. But recently, the show was dipping...and yesterday, they killed the essence completely! :(

I know am being negaitive/harsh...but couldn't help. It was really sad to watch my fav, characters go down the drain.

Sorry to be stating this point here because it may appear like comparison...but i have to. Rads in CB1 had always been cold to Dev and had always pushed him towards Vish. But i always felt bad for her. Her tears made my heart wrench. The reason was because Rads' pain was shown to us clearly through monologues with her Kanha. She knew whatever she was doing was wrong and it pained her, but she was doing it for the sake of her sister, for her father's reputation to be intact. In CB2, Rads thinks she is supporting the dharm!?? Why wasn't she ever shown telling that she knows that she is supporting the wrong, but she is helpless! Is she so brainwashed to think such a simple thing?

Thanks Neerja...
Loved all the points made...
For me the golden hen was killed by the CVs...
This show had ready viewers, who wanted to watch the show for Avina...even now with all the nonsense track we are watching for whom? Only for AVINA.
It seems the cvs could not handle the popularity of the leads...that is why they planned to bring down the show.😡
For me, I have no pity or sympathy for Bharka...what ever she is getting is all because CVs want to glorify her character and make her feel all important..It makes me laugh that we will care for her character more than RaDev characters? Are Cvs delusional?
When will Cvs wake and realize that they have killed the golden goose who was giving then golden eggs...
Good luck to Avina and all the best to them...we are with them!!!

There is no comparison of both the shows , you can feel the difference in the treatment , and the story-telling ...I do not have any sympathy for Barkha character now , Barkha kind of person does not change her nature in few minutes ...It was nothing, but just to bring down the main leads in viewers eyes and i think were successful in their ploy to some extent ...We can not blame actors they are bound by contract and do not have any say ...I do not trust Zee , when CB1 was ruined in the last and was abruptly ended without given any reason .

Neerja, even though Misti and I had written about it, I was hoping that I would be wrong. But today they showed Barkha as this helpless person who is forced by Dev and Radhika to do this wrong thing. She was even shown with tears in her eyes looking helplessly at Dev. Dev looked at her and then looked down in guilt. Radhika was the one who pushed her towards Dev. So both Dev and Radhika came out looking like opportunists who used Barkha to do whatever they want.


So characters like Dev and Radhika who were bold and unafraid of society are suddenly so scared of this so-called society that they are endorsing wrong things. This is the only show I have seen where lead characters are brought down so that a minor character can be shown in good light. Barkha is the lead of this show and Dev/Radhika are villains.

Has anybody among viewers is happy today with the episode? No...So why would creatives and channel show this? What is the motive? This cannot bring up the TRPs when the leads are made so revolting.

They started it with July 25th onwards - cutting all the important scenes involving Dev, making him passive by not fighting with Radhika, killing Radhika's essence who is cruel to Dev and just listens to Dada and others. Today they completed the process. Next week would be bringing down Dev and Radhika even more.


Angie today i am proved wrong , i was always writing that Barkha will do anything for her friend,s happiness , but never thought she will turn in to helpless sacrificial goat ready to be sacrifice without any objection , which does not go with her character ...She never kept her mouth shut when anything wrong was done , spoke where she was not needed ...If there are some twists are there like this , which has become the trend in soaps , should give some logic , some conversation between the characters , or their monologues , Yes gave Barkha,s dialogues with her mother , her thoughts , and were forgotten when were needed the most ..Agree with you , the way they are doing ...
