Ekta serials have often proudly claimed credit for venturing into uncharted territories...She has vouched for her 'sensitive' handling of issues like rape, mercy-killing and the like...So whats next on her social agenda???...A 'sensitive' portrayal of wife-swapping???....A new take on open marriages???....Is that whats in the offing in KS now???...A Jai-Pia angle, followed by a Bani-Pushkar track???
I have been loath to write a premature obituary for KS over the past few weeks...Despite the slowdown in the story...the mounting bloopers....The growing complexity of the tracks...the contradictory stances of the characters....the ominous signs....I have persevered in hoping...for the best. I must admit today though that that hope is wavering really low today😭...The clouds have darkened too much.......
There are just two reasons which are ready to keep my optimism afloat...albeit precariously...
The first is Jai....and his character as it has shaped up till now....Its simple...I just trust him...to take care of himself...and his life...period!...It doesnt really matter if Pia is in his house...Roshni was in a room with him remember???...In fact on the same bed...AND he was drunk...Yet he stood rock-steady.
Even today, I was feeling sorry for him...The poor guy was trudging up and down the stairs in the middle of the night...Trying to deal with a hysterical couple ....Witness to the most unsavoury and ungainly fight...I loved the dignified way with which he removed himself from the scene when the confrontation began to centre around him...And the expression on his face when Pia was praising him said loads...It wasnt triumph....it wasnt disgust...it was just supreme indifference...Even if Bani was not in the picture, Pia's constant ping-pong attitude seems to have finally ensured that the scales have fallen out of his eyes as far as she is concerned...for eternity.
In fact for his part, Jai was behaving like a perfect brother-in-law and gentleman today....It was in keeping with hs character to stop Pushkar from hitting Pia in front of him...It would have been unacceptable if he had stood by and watched it all...If Pia chooses to misunderstand these vibes, then again...I trust him to handle it...and handle it well!!!...I doubt if her being Bani's sister or any other reason will make him be nice then.
The other reason for a degree of optimism is the KS track record till now...Till now, this serial has always surprised us...At every juncture...The expected, good or bad, has hardly ever happened in the way we thought it would...J-B marriage...their consummation at a time when their relationship was stilll largely undefined....Pia's abrupt arrival on the morning after...Bani's hug to Jai before the bomb blast...Jai's death...We have always been kept on the edge...So at a time when things seem so bleak, and inevitably set in a predictably unwanted direction...It might just turn out to be the opposite...Jai and Bani may just decide to join hands to seek a reconciliation between the two Ps...And in the process, breach their own gulf.
Yet, the reasons for pessimism seems equally valid...😭....Firstly, the way the track has been built up gradually....Its not been a sudden twist in the serial...The pieces have been set up gradually beginning with Pia's joining the office, to Pushkar's name being written on Bani's hospital form, to the growing vibes between Pia and Jai, to the present...It all points to the fact that the track is not going to be a short-term scenario..Rather things may just be taken to the brink...
Also, I know many people are arguing that Ekta would never separate J-B as that is the USP...But then the converse is also true...J-B are the selling point...so a quick reconciliation b/w the two would be bad business...Better to keep them apart for as long as possible and keep the fans on the edge...They may not necessarily marry other ppl...But then they may still be away from each other and keep pining...!!!
And lastly, well, the going has been too good till now... I mean its been 6 months....We have had a brilliant story line...Even better characters which have remained well-etched out and consistent...In Jai and Bani we have had two protagonists who have been utterly different from the umpteen others we see on television all the time...How long can it last???...Did I hear Ekta loves Jai's character...Its time to get scared then...She loved Sujal too...And anyone who's ever followed KTH knows what happened there....So if our JW gets massacred by the creatives, well, why get shocked...
Sorry for being so negative...But the balance is tilting the other way...Lets see what happens next....But come what may, we still have discretion of keeping our JW alive...fantasise abt J-B in our own way...The only hope is that that may not be the only thing left for us!!!!
