Lakshmi's 'innocence' is overdone now

Ok so I used to love this show until Lakshmi/Arjun got engaged- that dumb song about which man she's going to marry. Since then, I fail to find any interest in the show especially because I find Lakshmi is overacting now. Even simple scenes, those 'cute' faces are overdone, her reactions to anything expensive/the toilet roll episode/'bohot mehenga hoga'/'itne saare paise'- the CVs are ruining the character.

Fine if you aren't well off it isn't a bane but you can do everything still in a proper manner and within your budget, you don't need to be rich to appreciate hygiene. There is always that common sense, do you always have to open your mouth wide, gape and express 'bua itne paiso mein toh poore khandaan ke liye saaris aa jaayengi'? 'Arjun, yeh toh badi mehngi hai'. Before, when Lakshmi was with 'Ajay' this wasn't the case so much!

So everyone who isn't as well off as the Agnihotris react like that when they see so much paisa? No wonder RV is against the whole thing! If Lakshmi's dad isn't comfortable in wearing suits, he shouldn't wear them. If Lakshmi got him the suit, she should've ensured the tags had come off !!! Anyone knows the difference between a toilet roll and tissue roll, and I don't think Lakshmi is living in a village where some people may not have seen or are aware of such amenities. Even if you don't have them in your house, you have awareness.

Now the CVs are portraying Lakshmi as the bimbo girl who is fascinated by money and fame- when it's not the case!

Anyone else agree?

I completely agree.

This has put me off the show for a while now. I just read the updates, do a face palm and leave. Earlier, I used to be excited about each new episode. But now I am just not interested.

And the reason is that the CVs are just ruining the story and the characters. Lakshmi wasnt this completely and utterly stupid and money minded. Sure she had dreams but she wasnt so engrossed in them so as not to notice anything else at all.

And the whole "we have one community toilet", "Plane mein khaana le jaaye" etc just seems forced and fake. Yes, they are a middle class family but no middle class family acts or lives like that if they are to be exactly like the Vajpayees.

These guys live in a modest house in a modest community. I am sure everyone living in such conditions and with such an income would have toilets in their house.

Its just becoming fake, annoying and silly.

Hope they rectify it soon.

something CVs seem as if they have taken a U turn in Laxmi's case..

in earlier episodes when RV talked about his DIL...it was shown Laxmi is exactly as he wanted...but now..OMG..😆

I'm so disappointed, shayad CVs badal diye hain? I used to think ke kya hoga after the engagement because the storyline will be boring, but this is TOO much.

Bringing HALDI to cover a bruise, I mean ok it works but WHAAAT? Why has Arjun not gotten bored of her antics now, they're so silly, she tries to make a face everytime something happens "BUA JI (*makes wide eyes*), yeh itnaaa mehngaa hai (*hand movement*)" .. I'm sure Arjun has expectations from his wife that she is intelligent and has a lot of common sense which Lakshmi had but it turns out it ran out the moment she wore that TACKY engagement ring.

Forget being a graduate, she is acting as if she has not gone to school and college! Does she have NO sense of what looks good/what is hygienic and what isn't, keeping clean shoes is important even when you are poor. Middle class isn't THAT bad, and they talk about toilets SO LOUDLY.. ohhh TOIILEEETTT... I mean you can tell it's on purpose cos they weren't like that before!!!!

Acting so desperate now! Hate the show pretty much! Argh sorry I'm kind of venting!

I agree..

This is why I hardly watch the show anymore.. putting it succinctly just because an individual is middle class does not mean they lack even the basic of etiquette.. as well as the knowledge having never used and being completely unaware are two different things.. there is such a thing as common sense .. I refuse to accept Laxmi's family members lack the intellect to comprehend when where and how to speak, behave..

The CV's seem to be forcibly portraying the differences between the family members now.. truly whatever happened to the girl who was proud of herself irrespective of their lack of wealth.. her self respect.. today that same individual is oblivious to anyone or anything but her dreams.. she did not think twice before changing her father no matter her intentions she removed him from his comfort zone by forcing him to wear a coat.. also can the CV's please stop the OTT reactions why do they insist on portraying her as if she is seeing everything for the first time.!!!

I always find it unfair when CV's are blamed for the shows storyline. It's not the CV's fault but the writers. Writers run the show and not CV's. 😆 They decide what will happen in the show and not CV's.

And I agree with most of your thoughts. The writer has ruined Lakshmi. before she used to be pretty matured even though she had an impossible dream. She was grounded and she was way better with Ajay than she is now with Arjun. Also, now she is immature and a bimbo. It's sad to see her making OTT expressions and gasp at every damn gift by Agnihotri's. I swear to god, she gasped three times when she was studying the wedding card. Drove me fruit bat crazy. 😆 The writer needs to tone down with such scenarios. I agree the status difference is huge but no girl would gasp and turn 360 degree when entering a 5 star, no matter how poor she is. There are some basic manners that EVERYONE follows...unless one is illiterate. And Lakshmi is hardly that.

About the tissue paper and toilet paper. Not everyone knows..this am saying from my personal experience. People in chawl dont know the difference. I was handed a toilet paper roll when I asked for a tissue paper..so believe me...that portrayal was right on. 😆 And the houses in chawls are tiny and they actually do have common bathrooms. The houses are so tiny that you cannot afford to build a bathroom and waste space. The houses are a quarter of Lakshmi's living room. Literally. And that includes the kitchen space too.

Ok now..I was always bothered why no one but RV from Agnihotri family has a problem with Lakshmi's behavior. She actually does come on as a gold digger these days, sadly. Hopefully the writer will read this topic and tone it down so that we will get our original Lakshmi back.

Even my 8 year old sister would not react the way Lakshmi has been reacting. I got annoyed when in Iss Pyaar ko Kya Naam Doon they portrayed Khushi as someone illiterate just because she is from Lucknow (I didn't mind the accent, but they just showed Lucknow to be super-backward when it isn't), now they are doing the same thing with Kanpur.

p.s. I thought CVs/writers = same thing? *facepalm*

I was kind of relieved when she had lost that ring, lmao, it looked so tacky for what 2.5 crores?

Hahaha..ya apparently anyone whose from a small town have the manners of a goat 🤣 Khair..hopefully the writers will rectify. And no CV's are..how should I explain it..they are like generals, they oversee the details during the shoot.

The writers, believe it or not are the Kings. They make and break characters and the story. So if you want to blame anyone for the Lakshmi turning into a Bimbo? Blame the writer. I have been. 🤣

Edit: I was thrilled when she lost the ring too..I was hoping that they will go back and get her the simple solitaire that Lakshmi dropped in the shop. It was simple but it was better than the tacky ring she is currently wearing.

LMAO her ring resembles my sister's plastic ring which she got in a magazine- she wore it and showed me 'Look my ring is just like Lakshmi's'...

I watch the show twice a week these days-Mondays and Tuesdays, because I am the written updater for those days😛
I just posted the WU and I have written the same thing.
COME ON!! GROW UP!

I belong to a town which is several times smaller than kanpur, and I am no Agnihotri/Ambani!

These days epis make me feel like banging my head on a wall!

"yeh, hawai adda hai??" Nahin nahin! mandir hai! seedhiyon ka aashirwaad toh aapne le hi liya! har subah yahin aa jaya karo!
"hawai jahaj yahan utarata hai?" nahin aapki chatt pe utarta hai😛

A plane passes by and lakshmi starts jumping, shouting, "Dekho, dekho! hawai jahaj"😡

By this logic, i should not even know that there is something like a napkin, or a toilet roll, or if there is something like a Hawai adda at all!😡
