But thank god what you feared never happened, that would have been unforgivable, yuck, awful, cvs
ka toh band baj jaata
I think even the cvs, cruel as they often are, won't dare to go there.
And yes loved to see dadaji play some definite role in this story, he is now a far more endearing character than
his grim son, who I was quite in love with when Yatinji was portarying him as the OTT but very loving
and genial yet very sensible and wise VC.
In new hands VC I fear has received the worst character butchering -
a man who no longer rules the roost at home, no longer the lion who roared when his wife
dared to hide the truth from him, or when LN offered payback to him
This one lets his daughters make crazy decisions and his wife keep secrets from him and all he does
is Shake his head and mutter some inane wisdom.
Btw, what is your take on Kumud's high handed attitude towards Saras ? Isn't she being very non
committal about her stand on their relationship?
I have tried to answer this briefly in an earlier post on this CB Arshi..
But since you asked ...here's some more..
I guess the CVs will keep her character in this limbo state right till the end...until they decide they want to end it...
Since it seems they have decided from previous TVTs...that higher TVTs are due to samud separate and their travails...And will not risk samud together at this stage because then the show progresses fully into the domestic social domain and encounters further TVT based restrictions...with say Kumud as simpering DIl, Saras as a stupid clueless husband, No real villain a la paramad, kalika...maybe a 'domesticated' villain someone who wants to take over the 'croro ka business', epis focused on some cousins shaadi preps etc. etc...and there are a dime a dozen shows like that.
And Saras - Kumud is their whale...
So they have now etched out the Saras character fully and his position unambiguously...which cannot be deviated even slightly...he cannot be now shown as insensitive, stupid to not see through the villains, falling in love with anyone other than kumud, not supremely sacrificing, etc. etc.
If this is a fixed locus..then the only way is for Kumud to be ambiguous...this will be the character which will be made to jump through hoops ...reversing her position from one stage to the next of the story to keep it moving...
A fixed saras as he is now appeals to the current gen...and a Jai Mata Di like kumud with my family comes first appeals to the TVoT aunty crowd...And So the whale draws both segments in!
And making Kumud fully committed and etched out to their love as strongly as Saras is currently leaves out any scope of extending the story on the 'separate but still pursuing their dreams' track..
So feel sad that it has come to this...my fav character destroyed to a jello...but a flip-flop of kumud's position is now par for the course I guess...
Therefore...I do not attempt to think deeper into her motives...its anyway going to change in the next week...
