I do not open topics in IF, not a regular visitor of the forum either. But do follow the show regularly and watch episodes(mostly) even when I dont like a certain track. Just thought I will give my 2 cents why this track did not work.
Biggest isue for me with this show is inconsistency. A show works when its characters are consistent and it flops when you play with the characteristics of your characters from track to track, butcher one character to hilight another is always a disaster. This track severely down played Virats character and virmans relationship just to hilight Jeevika and Jeeman. After watching a very passionate Virat over Manvi and her health, it was very hard to see him take it all so lightly.
Cancer was severely downplayed. Cancer track was "the track" that everybody was waiting to watch but cancer track was completely put into back seat and abortion track took over cancer track. I could not relate or understand how Virat, bg, chowdharies and Vadderas were more concerned about a foetus than dying Manvi.
Cancer track should have been around both families emotions towards a dying manvi not towards abortion. I simply could not connect with anyone in this track.
There were some nice scenes here and there and even one or 2 good episodes. Performance wise KT and KD did quite well, but I blame the wriiters big time for floppping the cancer track, the track which had so much potential to bring this show to #1 if it was really focused on the dying person and the emotions of the people who love her. Abortion should have been a side focus not the main focus, this tyag the way they painted it as bigger than cancer was a big flop idea in my opinion. If the choice is between a few week old foetus and the life of a 22 year old Which family wouldnt pick the life of the 22 year old, yes there is tyag involved but is that tyag bigger than cancer and death? dont think so.
