We were told to wait and judge...

WARNING: If you are young and impressionable, or simply dislike swearing of any type, please don't read this. In the following paragraphs, there will quite a bit of swearing.
On to the post:
---------------------------------------
So I waited. And waited. And i've been bloody well waiting for the last 3 months...
They told us to wait and watch the first 2 weeks (I'm not sure, maybe they said 1). And I waited 2 weeks. I didn't judge the direction the show was taking. I waited and hoped to God that whatever happened, would happen for the best, and that the CV's had a good reason for throwing this revenge track at us.
At first, it seemed fine. Up until Sultan came. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind him, he's good looking, hot and is a good actor, and Aryan is a cutie. If he came in during a time they were happier couple, I would have welcomed the drama, but not right now.
Anyways, that is besides the point. WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY DOING TO R.K'S CHARACTER. They have turned him into a LITERAL PSYCHOPATH. They've BUTCHERED THE COMPLETE AND UTTER CRAP (excuse me for my language) OUT OF HIS CHARACTER AND I AM MAD. Yeah, he was always an arrogant jerk at first, but now he is literally an abuser. I don't care if no one agrees with me, but he has verbally, emotionally and physically abused Madhu. Augh, I don't even wanna start on her character, they're totally on their way to ruining her character too.
So, the point of this?
Just a little message to the CV's/producer/director (whoever it was that told us to wait. I don't remember his name anymore, and frankly, I don't care, I just know someone told us to wait before judging). YOU TOLD US TO WAIT. I waited for, not the 2 weeks you asked, but 3 MONTHS. T H R E E M O N T H S. You don't want to know exactly what I think of this show. It's not pretty. The gist: Complete and utter horseshit . I gave this show three bloody months. And all the while I tried to be positive, that this show was going somewhere, that RK would redeem himself..somehow. I tried not to bash any of the characters, I tried not to take sides. But for the last 2 weeks, I've been at my wits end. I have no hope for him anymore. And that's depressing. I AM DONE.That's just sad, because I actually LOVE LOVE LOVE VD and DD, their acting is amazing and they have great on screen chemistry. They're the only reason I tolerated the show for this long, even feeling like a hypocrite, because in real life, I'd never tolerate it if someone treated me like RK is treating Madhu. But despite that, I don't want her to leave him. A small part of me wants her to take his bullshit and change him. I feel wrong and shallow for thinking that, for justifying a characters actions because I love the actor portraying him.
What have they done to MEIEJ, it had such a promising start, it was going great, and they decided to experiment with it. Experimenting that could have gone well, had they taken any other direction than the one they took after the revenge plot, I was kind of excited for the Madhu-becoming-famous-and-kicking-RK's-ass track.
I have a lot more to say, I could probably write 10, 000 + words to explain how I feel about this show. But school work is calling. Just had to rant a bit after yesterday's episode. I haven't seen today's, nor am I interested to read the WU before the show comes on TV. I don't even care anymore, which contrast so much with me 4 months ago, where I used to literally be on edge until I read the update and watched the episode.

Lol don't worry. That wasn't exactly swearing 😛 . Your post is actually the first I have come across that is venting out true and honest feelings. So all's good 😉

Oh dear you should not have used the word "Abusive" here. Apparently, a lot of people do not know what that word really means and would start a pointless discussion creating an unnecessary ruckus on your post.

Apart from that, nice post. I agree with you. But I think the CVs themselves have gone too far in butchering RK's character to show an actual redemption. At this point, I see no reason as to why Madhu should forgive him at all. Love doesn't mean you become weak in the presence of your lover and take all his crap just so he doesn't hurt himself. Obsession is never good in any relationship. I find a fresh change in the show in the form of Sultan so I am going to stick around and watch his scenes until he CVs figure out a way to show an ACTUAL story instead of RK's dance performances. Otherwise, Goodbye to Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon that was once a unique show!

LMAO, yeah, it's not necessarily the hardcore swearing, but swearing nonetheless, and I didn't want anyone to be traumatized if they weren't used to swearing or something (which is unlikely, but eh, it doesn't hurt to be careful). You have no idea how close I was to using other swear words. Had to backspace wayy too many times while I wrote this aha. :p

Honestly, if they want to live in their fantasy world, they are welcome to. It doesn't change the reality of what his character is doing. Just because the actor is good looking and your favorite, doesn't mean you should blindly accept the character he is portraying, automatically denying any of that characters faults. I like VD, i think he's doing a great job with his acting, but if his character is a douche bag, I will admit it. They can bash me all they want, and they can argue all they want, they will be wasting their time, because in the end, i'm not about to kill my brain trying to explain to them something they don't want to see. I'll just reply to them with a dictionary definition of the word, and they can do with that what they will.

Yeah, honestly, I don't know how RK can possibly redeem himself at this point. Sultan is a good character, but I am still reluctant to accept him and Madhu as a couple. Augh, I hate that though, because realistically, despite the fact that he's some gangster, he would be the better option. And LOOOL, yeah, an actual story line rather than RK breaking into a dance randomly. Since i've given this show so much of my time at this point, I'm going to see how it ends. But i'll probably start to read updates once a week or something if this show doesn't look like it's gong anywhere in a week or two. I have this problem that, when I start something, I need to watch most of it to the end, no matter how much I have to torture or agonize myself in the process. Its a bad habit, or a good one, depending on the situation.

Haha of that happened, you would probably have gotten a note before people would've been able to press the "Post Reply" button 😛 . I know how frustrating it can get sometimes when you have to control yourself and not swear. Been there, done that. Lol.

I completely agree with you. I like VD too, but that in no way means I'd start blindly worshiping his character. He is acting like a psychopath right now and I would say it openly because it doesn't change the fact that he's being a complete jerk.

Yes the Gangster part sure does put people off. But then again, it's fiction. And people here are always nagging to keep reel and real life separate. So in reel life, a girl can end up with a Gangster too right? I mean, if in the fiction world, a human can end up with a Vampire, Werewolf or a Zombie, why can't a girl end up with a Gangster too? 😉😆 . Because frankly, I find much more scope in an Ordinary Girl meets Gangster theme than an Ordinary Girl meets Superstar theme, story wise. A lot of aspects to their relationship, characters and hurdles could be shown. Anyway it all comes down to the CVs.

Lol me too. I can't give up once I have started something. And even though my Mother banned me from watching the show because she thought it's utter nonsense 😛 . I still sneakily caught the first 10 minutes of the episode. Old habits dies hard 😆

Its so true.. after waiting and waiting for RK and his antics to get better.. I fell in love with Sultan.. He transformed.. I guess the CVs wanted us to wait for his- Sultan's- transformation.

but like someone else mentioned on one of the other topics.. the writers cannot risk pairing up Sulbala coz then they'd be an easy target for all the psychotic Rishbala fans.

this topic has been discussed over n over again on here and it will be continued till Sultan really says "alvida" -exits the show (I don't want it.. but it will happen).

And RK's repulsive behavior has been tagged cute, loving, and what not... majority feels it is "normal" for him to employ such "techniques" to "control his crazy wife and set her right.."... they r in love.. its their private life.. they can do whatever.. madhu was not exactly revolting... gawsssh.. I can go on forever with the EXCUSES they have in store to Justify RK's behavior...

I will wait for the truth and justice to come knocking at RK's door ONE day.. until then I will WAIT... 🤢

...i'm not about to kill my brain trying to explain to them something they don't want to see. I'll just reply to them with a dictionary definition of the word, and they can do with that what they will...

Ive done that so many times, even posted a list of symptoms shown by pychopaths, examples of abuse (that post got shut down) Makes no difference. And that is what I find disturbing...that how can rk be shown to redeem himself after its gone this far...i think the only think left now is rape, What kind of a msg is it sending out if it ends with rk and madhu togather. Already the underlying theme/vein of this serial is going way over the heads of a lot of people. So many here already behaving as if they've been labotomized.

As for waiting 3 months. What can I say...it become clear from the ambigous tweets from hedge that the viewers are being played. And why shouldn't he and the production house play us? There is a "take sides" mentality amongst indian soaps watchers and so they exploit it. False info, mis-direction, ambiguity. At teh end of the day its about them making money.

I no longer watch pre-caps or read any tweet related posts in order not to be influenced by them or should I say misdirected, whether its in content or time. And if you take these out as factors, you can see that what is being portrayed is a psychopath and an abusive relationship, and because of the mentality of "the lead jodi always ends togather all happy happy" and/or because they were promised a love story and/or they invested too much of their emotions in the pre-revenge lovey dovey moments,
people are not willing to seethis for what it is, unlike you.

When they requested fans to 'wait', what they intended to imply is - "keep waiting till the show ends."

I will quite watching if Madhu gives RK another chance tmrw without any other motive. He is inredeemable at this point.DVD look great together and have great chemistry but I will not tolerate this regressive crap of a heroine that keeps going back to her abuser just for them. I AM A HUGE DD fan but it isnt worth puttiing up with this torture. They wanted to create conflict they could have created a misunderstand at least RK would have been redeemable. Who is he to even question Madhu after what he did to which why I totally see why you say Sultan shouldnt have been introduced in the midst of the revenge crap. He is the one honorable character in the show. Madhu has lost all her self-respect and become so weak in front of RK and RK just continues to butcher himself further.
