WHAT'S MISSING?

Like many other people on this forum, I was very disappointed with the entire cancer track. I believe it was supposed to establish the fact that the behnas' love for each other knows no bounds. However, the treatment of this track was so chaotic; the desired outcome was not met.

I know its kinda long,but I had to vent out. Its just my pov about the characters so refrain from bashing.

When the behnas love each other, they are completely selfless. Maanvi didn't want to tell Jeevika about her cancer or the fact she loved Virat. She can forgo the small and the big things in her life, if it adversely affects her sister's life in the slightest way. Similarly, Jeevika was ready to sacrifice a part of Viren and herself so Maanvi could live. She was ready to defy all the expectations associated with her as a wife, as a bahu and as a mother. This means that the love the behnas have for each other makes them selfish in some ways. Both have been seen adjusting all other duties so that their behna benefits even while others may suffer greatly.

Personally, I believe there needs to be a balance in order for the show to not feel repetitive or to make the male leads appear redundant.(Our KTs cant ever be redundant, but the V bros surely just seem like pretty boys sometimes, as though they have no purpose)

So instead of Jeevika blatantly saying dialogues suggesting Maanvi comes before her children (or as she refers to them, her CHUTKUS..<-- God, I hate that word) or Maanvi saying that she would sacrifice 1000 Virats for her Di, they need to get a reality check to ensure further chaos does not ensue.

In my opinion Jeevika's conscience stream when she found out she had to forgo the baby in order to save her Mannu:

Hence, if the creative showed the baby was unplanned yet a pleasant surprise, the track would still make sense and make them look like lesser fools. Nevermind, Jeevika's dilemma shouldn't have been Virenji's dreams and hopes vs Maanvi's life. Seeing how motherly Jeevika is towards Maanvi, I find it very hard to believe she could isolate all those when it came to her baby. Jeevika should've been shown to be excited about the baby, to finally have a baby that she herself will give birth to. It should have been significant to her. The forthcoming baby and her had to have this bond in order for the track to be more dramatic and meaningful. Jeevika thoughts on her pregnancy should have been explored before the abortion bomb was dropped on her. That would have meant Jeevika sacrificed something very dear and significant to her in order to give life to the person she associates the inception of love in her life. She would appear less selfish then and instead I would empathize more with her if she was stuck in a catch 22 situation where she was fighting her own dreams and wishes. It shouldn't have been the whole world's expectations vs jeevika's decision.

Virman share an amazing chemistry. Both Kushal and Nia deserve credit for that but the creative have really written the whole Virman falling in love, what to do about their love track kinda well (umm.. apart from that maya bit may be). Anywho, a relationship that is based on so much intensity must stand on a higher mantle now. Their journey has been so dramatic, with so many hurdles. Maanvi being cured of cancer is as much a victorious battle for Virman as it is for Jeeman. Why the step child treatment then? Shouldn't Maanvi be cherishing it more deeply? I liked the shaadi references but Maanvi should attach equal importance to the fact that she has been gifted with another life so she can see her Di get all the happiness of the world and build a million memories with her partner. The intensity, the passion just seems to be wearing out too soon between Virman.

The inconsistencies in characters/relationship are creatives' doing. I don't know what factors affect the story line but the show has become quiet messy.

I know EHMMBH is a daily soap and drama is imperitive. But I love the characters, actors, and the basic story line too much to let inconsistency ruin it all. I would personally like the following scenes:

Hope you liked the post. Please write in with your feedback. Here's to another week and hopefully another beginning for the Vadheras and the Chaudhrys.

I agree with everything you have said. I feel the track is going too fast and as you mentioned I would love to see some good bonding between the four them. They've all been through so much and have overcome such a massive obstacle so to see them together bonding, joking around and having fun would be great.

The point you made about Jeevika's attachment to the baby and excitement I agree to an extent, yes I wanted to see more enthusiasm like Viren but when she was going into the abortion clinic/room we could see how much she was paining suddenly all the motherly emotions I felt were dawning on her. More over that heartbreaking scene when they went home and she curled herself up I thought that held so much significance. That episode hands down goes to KD and KT their portrayal of emotions was just woow!

Time and time again we have been seeing the essence of the sisterly love although at some points it does become OTT like you have mentioned but in a way thats what I like about the show it really shows ek hazaaron mein meri behna hai.

I think what this show lacks is imbalance, the balance of characters isn't executed properly (IMO) which I feels leads to the ridiculous fights on this forum about which character is given too much or too little importance.. I feel the CV's need to be consistent and balance out the characters and different scenes.

woah that was long.. 😆

Forgot to add this part in my reply :P

I second you on that.. surely if Jeevika was spending all night researching possible cancer treatments she would have come across bone marrow transplant and thus would have known about the whole pregnancy thing..

was the baby planned? I knew Viren kept on talking about how he wanted to be a father but I didn't know they were planning the pregnancy?

P.S : Dont worry about attention seeking😆 For most of us, today's virman's day out is still not sinking😆 Though your post seem a little late, I really hope people read this !

I love their efforts, and acknowledge the contributions of the team BUT if a show has SO much potential, I'd really want it to progress to the epitomy of success. Cheers xx
