Just a thought I wanted to share.
We all have a tendency to compare season 2 characters with season 1. If we look at the story pov, I feel season 2 has to be seen in another angle. Agreed, Mishti is Mauli's chhavi according to the writer, but we should probably look deeper than merely comparing situations with season 1, I feel.
Season 1: Preleap was about infidelity and how three individuals acted and reacted in the situation. If Kunal had taken it slowly, after divorcing Mauli, Kunan relationship would have got more acceptance. There had to be a respectable way of doing it.
Season 1 post leap : This was about shattering the beliefs that love could happen only once - it was a lesson Mauli learned.
Season 2:This is about two individuals, scarred from the lives of their parents. One is too adamant about commitment, she doesn't believe love is enough or perhaps her definition of love is only commitment and friendship. By and large, that should be enough to have a secure future, but what if her definition and understanding of love is wrong? Mauli had to be convinced she loved Ishaan before she married him, because commitment was not enough for her. She never doubted he might leave her, but she wanted to be sure she loved him and not her ex. In contrast, Mishti has based her life only on commitment, thus keeping a safe distance from love and its complications.
The other protagonist Pari, is portrayed as someone who doesn't want love or commitment to complicate her life. Given a chance, she would have loved to be left alone as a spinster. After this introduction of hers, I'm finding it difficult to understand Pari falling for Ruhaan. I wonder what the writer wants to show through her story. I have a feeling the writer intends to show her journey through a heartbreak, leading her to open her eyes to her true love.
I am sure both the characters are loved equally by the writer and hopefully they will do justice to both.
Veer - Mishti-Ruhaan is different from season 1 characters for me, because I am expecting a different story here. Veer and Mishti are at boyfriend girlfriend level, where they are comfortable with each other and one step nearer to the commitment called marriage. Couples can break up over various incompatibility issues, so should think ten times over before entering marriage. I hope the story is headed that way.
