I solemnly swear that this is not a bashing POST and therefore please refrain from bashing here. Having said that- please feel free to criticize the writers and CV's who are still hell bent on shoving down our throats the whole "True Love" , "Pious Love", "Godly love and it's symbol" analogy every time they get a chance.
When Pari comes to Mishti's home for the first time Dida says Lakshmi has reached their house. I am all game for calling/addressing a girl child...any girl child "Lakshmi" because of the age old ideologies and practices of our patriarchal society; where girl child is considered more of a bane than a boon. And therefore while I am totally supportive of selling the idea that "Beti's are Lakshmi's" , I couldn't stand the whole underhanded writing by the team which still aims to promote the whole "TRUE LOVE" angle through the child. Or at least that is the subtext vibe I got from watching the scene.
They could have easily made Mishti do the 'Lakshmi ji ke pair' scene. That way the writing would have been much more earnest and not a repeat of the way things were before the leap ; where the writing pertaining to Nandini and Kunal were more "Divine" like . Now when the makers are 'allegedly' trying to clean up the mess they created they could and should have refrained from such shoddy writing. But from what I see they are still continuing the "Silsila" of phailaoing more raita just like before the leap with KuNan story.
While it is impossible to never mention Nandini again because she was a part of the show; the writers can very well stop with the whole Mauli-Nandini and Mishti-Pari BFF comparisons through FB's and otherwise because truth is Nandini never valued her friendship with Mauli and sacrificed it every time at the drop of a hat.
The writers need to stop with the whole divine analogy and BFF comparisons and focus on this leap in a more mature way.
