The last thing I need is for them to screw around with Kusum and make my blood boil thinking of her wasted potential too

... But wow, based on how you'd described it, Katie, I'm kind of worried 😕 I couldn't agree more with you. This is one track they should not touch... But the CVs have had a habit of messing things up sometimes, so you're right, we'll see! 😆

Right??? I dont want to see Kusum vs Kumud...nor do I want to see Kusum become a vamp... :( Hopefully the CV's will give us something appreciable. :)

In the actual saraswatichandra novel saras marry to kusum, so i don't have any idea if the production house follows the novel or become fiction and start its own track.

I am a SaMud enthusiast but answering here with a non-partisan standpoint:

Frankly, the current ex-lovers(?) Vs Hubby track is a soporific snoozefest despite the strategic insertion of 'cute' scenes to appease a certain faction of SC fandom. I also kinda-sorta would have welcomed a possible Sasum ending if they'd been loyal to the original. Sadly, that didn't happen. Under the current scenario, Kusum's character looks like she's en route to marching in there and obliterating all the trust-build up and sacrifices made by the lead pair(whether that'd happen is a different story!) which is downright unfair and malicious, if you ask me. I'd have to say the same if somebody just like that tries to barge in to test their luck. So that's a strict no-no. I haven't watched today's(yesterday's) episode yet; going by the WU, looks like she's spoken some wise quote about Saras-Kumud rishta. I'd be happy if they'd maintained her consistency and not made her utter contradictory, non sequitur statements. Also get her not to give those 'drunk nun on LSD' kind of looks🤢

"Drunk nun on LSD" 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 Oh man, you killed me! And I agree with what you're saying...I know that the novel ends in Saras marrying Kusum but like you said, they havent been loyal to the novel...the basic concept they got from the novel but I dont think they'll base the whole show on it.

Hi, there! I firstly just want to say that I really appreciate that you have a non-partial stand right now. Especially because a topic like this, which is so crucially related to the end of the novel can be so sensitive 😃

I agree completely with your first statement. I just really don't understand what's going on (but then again, only looking at screen shots of an episode here or there doesn't really add to my comprehension.) I understand that Kumud is going through a rough patch in her relationship.. but seriously, the reason why Saraswatichandra was so awesome to me before was that it showed atypical things despite the fact that it's pure fiction... So for the contrast of such an unrealistic story now, "tum meri shakti ho," "main tumhare bina kuch nahin kar sakti" stuff doesn't make any sense to me... Uhmmm, wasn't Kumud the one who always took an independent stand? Why she's so dependent on Saras doesn't make any sense. Kumud seems a little flimsy to me now. Kind of weird and out of context.

As a younger sister, I can kind of sympathize with Kusum, because no matter if she IS a better person than Kumud or not, once the elder one is back, she always gets shoved aside. Unfortunately, that's just the way it is for a lot of us. If she just honestly, is admiring Saras for helping her sister out, then that's fine. But, all younger sisters aren't evil and malicious. It'd be nice if they didn't ruin anything further by going with the usual.

Kusum in the film, Saraswatichandra, was annoying. I'll admit that. But, I actually always liked this Kusum... I hope they don't do anything not because I don't want to ruin the trust build up, as you mentioned (I honestly have no sympathy left for the lead pair anymore.. I just, I don't know, I look at them and I just see a waste... One takes always, one gives always.. Even Hamlet and Ophelia weren't this messed up, and boy were those two crazy) But because her character still has so much more potential that's WORTH exploring properly 😊

I wish they changed the names of everything and everyone completely... You know, do a proper "based off a critically acclaimed novel..." type of thing. I would much rather that, because then it wouldn't be so disrespectful to the relationships GT ji so masterfully crafted

Hi Veera, I'm Shrija. Nice to meet you😊

Gone are the days of subtle romance in SC land, with SLB's ousting it was bound to happen, wasn't it?

@Bold1: I can attribute the lack of independence in Kumud to PTSD at this juncture. The thing that supremely bothers me is the lack of proactive thinking in Kumud. Why would she want to keep Pramad out of jail even after he's set the textile factory on fire? (not sure if you've seen this or no). The story is moving, er...galloping with too many logical inconsistencies to bear with

@Bold2: Here, I am not annoyed at the character so to speak but with the writers. One day she's all talking sense and the very next epi, she goes on to contradict her stance. It's the damning inconsistent portrayal of Kusum that irks the lot I guess.

Edit:

" Why she's so dependent on Saras doesn't make any sense. Kumud seems a little flimsy to me now. Kind of weird and out of context."

This is something that is jarring my mind as well. It's not only Saras but also his brother who is staying put in a village and doing menial work. Hardcore fans may say, "he doesn't give a hoot, why must you?" I concur with those for the moment until further development in the story😊

Hi Shrija! I first have to tell you buddy, that I love your name 🤗

I can agree with you to an extent with the PTSD concept, Shrija ji, but the problem is, that in a lot of literature, albeit man or woman, people still tend to show sparks of their old selves. Be it a character in a novel based on the atrocities of World War I (even the novel, 1984) or a character from a contemporary tv show, like my absolute favourites Dean and Joanne from Supernatural. All these characters do go through immense, immense emotional, physical, and mental trauma... but their ability to still be relatable to people, even if their personalities have been warped 180 degrees makes them believable characters. I just find Kumud's character odd... even off, now. She's not her old self, because she's been through things, agreed. But, at the same time, she's not relatable as a person either. People with PTSD, no matter the severity, still have their own personality. I am finding it hard to really see what her personality is... again, that may be, as you brilliantly mentioned already, because of the illogical story. I mean, this show used to be on par with the whole literature thing. Now, I'm inclined to really believe that it's just an aunty serial and I'm thinking way too deeply.

But yes. The same is apparently happening with Kusum. I can't really comment on this one without sounding stupid because of my lack of knowledge of the show (this week's spoilers and screen caps did not have her in them 😆 😆 😆) I just want consistency and believability. If they can do that with a made up village, why can't they do that with the actions of what are supposed to be regular humans?

I feel like those who are able to question what they see, even if they feel inclined to be blinded by the love of their favourite thing, are always the ones who are the biggest fans. So yes, Shrija ji, you indeed are a great fan! 😳 😃

Yeah...they seem to be going towards Saras-Kusum track but I have a feeling that they wont end the show without a Saras-Kumud ending...and that is, like you said, disrespectful to the creation of GT. Most movies/shows adapted from books are, however, disappointing and I dont think this show will be any different.😆
