Punar Vivah... A brilliant and unique concept

Punar Vivah, a serial which initially upon hearing its name, I didn't give it much thought but felt like watching it as the lead is Kratika and I loved her in JKR. So I thought why not.. Give this a shot...

Then came the first episode where I saw Kratika dancing around and being a judgemental person, I was like pfftt this is gonna be like all the other draggy and boring serials, but it whip-lashed on my face the moment I saw that crazy woman insulting Aarti and Shoba saying main apni Aarti ka Punar Vivah karengi.. It was then things started getting interesting as I saw two people, who were completely attached to their past, remarry for their children's sake. Their wedding night is by far the funniest wedding night with Yash's expressions upon seeing the condom packets and lingerie and how whatever he did innocently just backfired and made him look like a pervert😆...

After that we saw two people starting to get to know each other and finally Aarti started developing feelings for Yash after he risked his life to save Ansh which honestly blew me away as who the hell risks his/her life for someone you barely know (that was the point I started falling for Yash😳).. Sadly it was one sided and even though she didn't mind it(or more like she said she didn't), I really wanted Yash to reciprocate her love and I did see a glimpse of it many times in Mumbai which made me hope.. However, their happiness was short-lifted as we saw Yash literally turning into the HULK minus the greenish exterior. Honestly I was really pissed off with Yash for pushing Aarti away and physically, though not so much, but mentally abusing her. There were a few hilarious parts throughout that whole ordeal for instance Gayathri saying he must be this angry coz you laughed when that guy called Yash uncle 😆.. After days of waiting and guessing, we were finally told the reason behind his anger, though I felt was quite stupid as HE was the one who stopped her when she wanted to leave.

With her love and patience or more like with Aarpita's imaginary forgiveness, he finally snapped out of it and it was then Aarti's turn to turn away from him. I really loved what she did as Yash couldn't take it and got a taste of his own medicine but as usual she wanted to leave him for his happiness blah blah..

After losing her, Yash finally realised his mistakes and was man enough to look around like a mad man for her and even apologised. I started seeing a change in him as not only he removed Arpita's pictures but he also started being the loving and caring Yash who always looks out for her happiness and the baby; unfortunately it was just for the baby's sake (still I fell more deeply in love).. What impressed me most is he declared in front of his whole family that Ansh is his heir and even though if the baby is a boy, Ansh is the elder brother; which made me speechless as it broke the blood is thicker than water mentality that is so prevalent in our society.

Now seeing Yash FINALLY feeling something for Aarti and all his gestures and expression, I'm overjoyed and drowning in happiness as Aarti is finally getting her overdue rights as his wife. Their expressions and especially the way they are communicating their feelings is simply priceless and unlike anything I've ever seen before. No hugs, no kisses no physical contact but yet it is way more intimate and love filled.

Punar Vivah has touched me unlike any other serials have and seeing two people, who had an awful past, moving on and going through different ordeals in life just portrays the true meaning of 'Life has to go on'.. It gives an encouragement that it's ok to move on though it won't be simple but it's better than sitting in the past and sulking thinking life sucks and why me...

It has definitely taken a special part in my heart and life and I'm completely in love with Yash and Aarti and the whole concept of Punar Vivah.. I would love to thank Shashi Mittal for coming up with such a brilliant concept and hopefully PV will take an even more beautiful journey in episodes to come.😊

P.S. I'm really sorry for the long post.. Hope you enjoy it the way I do..❤️

Aww guys😳...thanks so much for appreciating and liking my post 🤗.. I thought I was gonna get chappals thrown at me for such a lengthy post😆..

Sheema, thank you for the wonderful post.

You pretty much summed up the last 9 months of the show.😆 I love this show. Not just for the lead actors, of course they are a huge factor, but because this show has so much substance. It is a heaven for amateur psychologists like me who love to dissect and analyze human behavior and emotions. They do have some Over the top drama but for the most part they deal beautifully with human flaws be it Yash's unhealthy obsession or Aarti's insecurities or fears.

And the best part for me personally is that they actually show character growth in not just the protagonists but also the side characters. These writer also do not dumb down one lead just to glorify the other which is what happens in many show unfortunately. I love how Yash and Aarti are equally flawed and equally endearing. A lot of shows start of with their leads being complex human beings but somewhere along the line either one or both leads become one dimensional. Here so far the writers have beautifully maintained the integrity as well as the intelligence of the leads. So ya, as you can tell, I love this show. It has such a special place in my heart and to top it all we got two lead actors who are not just excellent artists but also ones who can emote just with their eyes. Yesterday's episode is a testament to that. Gurmeet and Kratika pretty much used their eyes to convey their emotions through that entire self talk session. It was an amazing experience for a viewer.
