It is not just the baby which was lost.
I felt I lost a whole lot of other things.
I lost the faith in IPK not being a typical serial. My friends always used to tell me it is a serial after all and I would fight with them saying 'No it is very different'. Today that difference was lost with this sensational angle they took of killing a womb. While losing the baby is good for Anjai's future and she can walk away from Shyam a free bird, the idea f the father mercilessly killing a child was pathetic. Seeing a pregnant woman tortured was pathetic.
Another loss was for the hope of this beautiful character called Khushi getting any justice in this serail. From day 1 I have hoped this girl will get her due in getting sympathy and attention for her sufferings at a tender age and her resilient approach to fighting it. But seeing today, I have no hopes as it will once again take the path of Khushi being neglected for Anjali
My hopes of a dream wedding for ARHI alsogot lost. With all this mess ruining the mood who will enjoy the joyus mood.
My last remaining faith in the CVs for writing a script that had the difference and magic of before also was lost. Today I stand corrected in my faith that IPK is ever going to have that streak of genius that once made it my breath and soul
My enthusiasm that was so resilient for so many months was lost, because now I may watch but I don't know if I will feel the passion.
So how will we recover from this loss?
Is it a momentary thing that many like me are feeling?
Will things come back to normal when they show more of Arnav and Khushi?
Will they balance this loss somehow by showing Anjali becoming stronger and exposing Shyam. Then Anjali finding someone else and getting settled down.
Will they show Arnav and Khushi's bond becoming stronger to deal with this blow together?
Will they show Shyam's ultimate and pathetic punishment which will vindicate our 'loss'?
If so when and how soon will they show it?
As we know all of the above has to happen in the next 2 months at least to have an effect. What is the point of receiving first aid when the wounded is already on the verge of dying?
So as I see it, IPK can recover from this loss of viewers (I am assuming quite a few will quit) and loss of faith, only if they do all of the above in the correct order at the correct time.
What do you think?
