Heyyyyyyyyy Guys!!!😃🤗

How r u All? Hope u r all doing as fine as can be expected with out our Prasha Dosage😔... not only for 3 days😲 but 4 Days!!!!!!!!!!!!😡

But, I was thinking about how the Creatives have been treating the char of Shanks Lately. Don't get my wrong, I totally love the bundle of delightful contradictions that is Shashank and all his antics!!😳

I Also Loved the way they balanced out his child like qualities with that of his mature, understanding, passionate, totally confidant and in control persona of an Eternal lover that is Shashank.😳

He is the perfect foil that Prateeksha needs, of some one who sees and not only enjoys the lighter side of life but also knows how to get others to share the same joy and happiness with him. And being the other half of Prateeksha, knows the feelings and the meaning of the beatings of her heart and can make her join in and enhance the joy and happiness that she feels just by being their with her.😳
😊

And Until, the way he exposed her job secret and faced off with Raunak I was totally happy with the way they have been portraying him. 😳👏👏

But, since then, Although I totally enjoyed his and Ishita's scenes, I felt that they are tampering with his character to make more filler episodes and to drag this track. 😡

Vivan is Doing a greattttttt Job portraying him but really, Shanks is much more smarter than all this silly tom foolery, at least in my humble opinion.

Previously they have shown him to be serious in his goal to unmask the marriage secret so that he can get his girl back. Now, all he seems to be doing is trying these efforts to impress her which do not make sense at all to me, as after all he was shown to say and understand that she got married to do some majboori and his belief what she still loves him and he was determined to find out what was the reason for the existence of the "fake" marriage is.

Where has all that serious determination gone? 🤔And Plz, Shanks is more smarter than following her to the market and all the other stuff in order to get prats response.
😳

The flowers one , for example was not too bad.👍🏼
Anyway, plz excuse my rantings!!! It is caused by a disease called "Prasha Deprivation". 😉

I just don't want them to dilute shanks char. I love❤️ him as he is.👍🏼 Plz plz plz give us back our mischievous , sad at the same time bold, frank,determined, smart, intelligent,passionate, strong shanks back and put him back in his investigative mode than this.🤗

Anyway, my POV. Plz feel free to agree disagree with me.😊

PS: I Love Prasha and Shanks. So No Bashing plz. This is just to keep my beloved char as it is meant to be, at least in my opinion. So, plz constructive criticism only.😊

Last weeks episodes were there to help us see Prateeksha's reactions. But we need to see the Shank back in action. Shanky is cute and I love him to bits, but I love how Shank puts Prats straight.

Shashank has so many shades and I love all of them...
Shashank mellow cool calm responsible...👍🏼
Shank no-nonsense sharp and angry...😉
Shanky loveable cute funny... 😍
ShankDas sad drunk
Different shade for each situation.😊

I agree with u May Rose
Maybe Shanky secretly being a CID, creatives want to bring it on later on the show, maybe when he finds out truth abt Pranak and hes father??

hi saumya,
it has been such a long time since i have seen u post...and what a wonderful topic of discussion too...discussion on shank...totally count me in
😳 😳 😳 ...

this has really been a long,long weekend....total shank and prasha deprivation here too...me glad to know u have symptoms too.... 😃 ...seriously the villain of this show is surely sony..... 😡

i seriously have loved the shanky-ishita scenes this week...i guess they were put in as to progress the story as the creatives had envisioned they needed to show all azizka scenes and raunak araina prats triangle with shank more on the periphery ...BUT the problem was that shank IS the reason people ARE WATCHING PKB...so they really could not totally not show him either....plus thy must have thought people would love the traingle and the new couple aspect but then quickly realized their mistake....pkb is watched ONLY FOR SHANK AND PRASHA...by most people...no brickbats here....my pov...and also judging by people's comments when there is no shanky/prasha scene...
so what could they have done...they introduced the filler track of ishita and shanky...i must say both actors have done full justice to the comic track...some days that scene has been the only one worth watching....

now having said that ...i also hated that shanky did that goonda thing and that bachcha thing....but like i said ...maybe those prasha scenes were added later...to make up for lack of interest on the people's part for the track they did want to concentrate on...and i must say i really am not complaining...we got shank in his element...and as usual VIVAN TOTALLY ROCKED!...

for me..yes they have deviated away a little bit from shank's core character...but i think it IS going to be alright this week onwards...
and don't worry....we WILL get our prasha ....after all only 4 more days left of this blasted raaz.....so i guess...this thurs , IF there is an epi ...or latest next monday..

Arya44,
I agree with you on this hundred percent...last week's track of Ishita and Shashank was silly at best and downright idiotic at worst. Why would Shashank want to propose to Prateeksha without having solved the mystery of her marriage first? He is not likely to expect her to say yes when she is married to another man. Plus the scene of him and Ishita getting drunk totally put me off....come on guys, she is a teenager.... the show seems to be promoting underage drinking....I think this was pointed out by Jyoti in her Adda Annexe too.
As you said, he is more than all this sillines.... yes he likes to have fun, his one-liners are a hoot, and that aspect of his nature is as endearing as the rest of him, but as far as Prateeksha is concerned, he has always been dead serious. In my estimation, Shashank's character would not stoop to stealing a child and passing her off as someone he had rescued.
Why do I get the feeling that very soon some joota chappals might be heading my way😉 ?...I am ducking behind the sofa...😛

vista...joote kyu padenge yaar...its your pov....u r entitled to it...
i agree with this point as to why shd shank propose to prats when he knows she is not likely to agree...and even i found the gun scene with ishita totally not necessary...but the veggie scene was good...after all prasha HAVE to meet SOMEWHERE NA...and prats in her pativrata housewife mode is doing all this only...where else will shanky meet her?...

@Hey May.. Totally yaar.😃 I Love Shanks to bits too 😳 and exactly!!!!!!!!!!! Really Want to see Shanks Back In Action Again!!

@skoler..I really hope u r right and he is actually doing detective work in the background.😆 Just imagine, if they actually show him thinking about who this "Sir" is that is calling Prats at the Market? He even commented saying who is this sir other than me??? Then that Market scene would be well worth it for me , I tell u. 👍🏼

@Vasu🤗......... I am sooooooooo glad to see u here too yaar. 😃 I I knoww... thnx I am glad u liked my topic of discussion. 😉 Or should I say Love..😉😳😆I knew u would enjoy it being about shanks.😉

U made a good point their And I fervently hope they do now realize that prasha is the Life line of this serial.😡
But I really wish that if they were going to fill up the scenes and meetings of shanks with prats as fillers they can even do it with him being his forceful self like the one in the office, pushing her against the wall and demanding her to share the problem which is forcing her to stay in the fake or whatever marriage.😳

Prefer a forceful or one who is sad and just trying to be tender and gentle shanks with her ( like when he rescues her in the red light area😉) than these silly antics to win a girl who is already his but is unable to be with him due to some extenuating circumstances which she has not been able to share with him.

@vista90pro.. Wonderful point!!😃👏 Exactly!! Why would he even think of proposing to her at this point?
The man who did not loose his cool even after, on the eve of the day that he thought he would propose and his dreams would come true and then finding his dreams shattered, but who still did not break down and instead who sat back to think how this could be and what could be the reason, while still maintaining complete faith in his love and the love prats has for him. 😳
Who also went about protecting her without crossing the boundaries and then even faced off with her husband for her protection but at the same time always leaving whenever she asked, not because he cannot or is not capable of saying no but instead in this way showing his respect for both the girl he loves and her wishes,❤️ why would he suddenly change to these silly antics and wanting to propose her without first finding out and removing the reason which has forced her into this situation in the first place?

saumya...nice point about shanky's character there....agree with u there...that shanky is too strong,confident in his love and prats love for him to resort to such tactics...i agree the bachcha scene was totally not necessary...maybe it was put in so shank could give prats a call and raunak could pick up...as for gunde....maybe it was put so that prats takes him to hospital..i did like that scene...and also the fact that prats smiled and raunak saw prasha eating ice cream...and prats happy...

i seriously CANNOT see a morose shank...or 1 who is sadly nursing his drink...so if the choice would have been that shank das...this is good....but yes i loved him when he ticked off raunak for prats protection...and love him when he is forceful...though unnecessary the gun scene atleast told us that shank is desperate now ...as he wants to be WITH prats on their anniv..and he does make a point of saying who else is sir in ur life...but maybe that could only b for benefit of his dad knowing he is with prats...
who knows what creatives will show....but i am glad....this 4 long day weekend is over...and maybe we will get some dil-e bekraar ko karaar today...

Yep Vasu, I too Liked both scenes in the context that u described. I would take them in the same context as u and would love to let it go except for the scare I got when I saw the gun scene.🤢 I just don't want them to go too far down this path and make a joker and unintelligent person out of shanks. He had the brains to singlehandedly run Mr.Rai's ? ( that's what araina's dad'd name is right?) empire for six months. If he can do that, and if he can understand as well as guide a girl like Prateeksha, such a man def. cannot be shown as weak, ineffectual or unintelligent.

I just want to warn the Creatives that their is a distinct line between funny and lighthearted verses funny , unintelligent and ineffectual. I just don't want them to cross that line when showing Shashank. As for the rest, completely agree with U.😃

LOL.. Can totally understand where ur coming from.😃 I too hated seeing him simply sitting sad and nursing his drink and then totally jumped with joy when he immediately went to prats house followed her and came to her rescue in his own unique style.😉
Yes Vasu, now Me impatiently waiting for tommorow's scene for some dil-e bekraar ko karaar.😳
