The creatives have written a fabulous story. They are the ones who have written the IPKKND that we love today. If the journey to "love" is taking a little longer than we had all hoped, then why not just sit back and enjoy it? What's with this big rush to get to the end?
Unlike many others, I do not feel Khushi's character has been slaughtered. Yes, she has been over-the-top lately. But her actions have a purpose. She wants to escape Arnav and his house. But some just need something to complain about. When a sad track is happening,"Khushi cries too much". When the track is a little light-hearted, "CV's are avoiding progress by making Khushi a caricature of herself."
I don't mean to be rude. Feel free to disagree. 👏 Its just that, creatives have written this story, and they obviously know what they want to do with it. The problem might be that, some expect too much from this show. They expect Arnav to become this wonderful lover-boy, despite the fact that he suspects Khushi and Shyam. They expect Khushi to become this serious woman of means, when in reality, she's always doing antics like her dubba business (Halwai business, anyone?).
Honestly, I adore this show. I do agree that it is not as good as it used to be. But shows have waves like this. It won't always be so engrossing. Instead of getting all and annoyed with the slow-pace, just sit back and enjoy. 👏
