Lachii,
You have raised valid points. Some of the tracks are sidelined because they are concentrating on Astha and Shlok's relationship. Jyoti's track is usually shown when they show similarities/dissimilarities between her and Astha's situation. Avdhoot's track will go on side by side. Also the compulsions of daily soap dictate that CVs usually do not go linear as ratings are always the main factor.
After taking a serial too seriously couple of years ago, I now watch any Hindi soap without expectations as director/story/writers can change at a drop of a hat. Usually even a very good show gets spoiled anywhere from 6-12 months. If there were predetermined numbers of episodes for each show, then only a show will have a proper beginning, middle and ending. Saying all this, this show so far has kept more or less all characterizations quite consistent at least in 5 months.
There are two characters whose characterizations may have changed. One is Avdhoot and other is Varad. Varad was shown as someone who was detached from his father. But now he is shown seeking his approval. But in case of Varad, it is ok because Varad's thoughts/loyalties were always a mystery. So even if they show him this way, all his actions can be explained.
Avdhoot is the one who was shown wary about Niranjan and the one who supported Astha though Kalindi was pressurizing Astha to accept Shlok. Avdhoot is now shown quite weakened. It can be explained so far because Avdhoot made a deal with the devil (Niranjan) and hence might be deluding himself that Niranjan is a good guy because of guilty conscience. But my worry is whether they will weaken Avdhoot at the expense of Kalindi. So far his actions can be explained as he is the patient one compared to impatient Kalindi. Also he has always given space to Astha and still now not telling her to return to Shlok. He is giving her time to come to a conclusion. But I don't want a weak Avdhoot at the expense of strong Kalindi just to show women power. Avdhoot married a scarred divorcee and he gave her love. So he can not be a weak person. And both parents can be shown strong in their own way.
As far as abuse is concerned, I don't think they are diluting it so far. Otherwise, they would not use "domestic violence" for Shlok. Shlok is a redeemable character as they have always shown him a grey character with some mental issues. Abhay and Niranjan are two characters who can not be redeemed in any form. So the best resolution would be to show Jyoti and Anjali independent from their husbands.
In the end, I reiterate that it is a daily soap. So do not expect much. So far I am enjoying the complex characters, great direction and good acting from all.
