I noticed a discussion in various threads about this being turned into a saas bahu story from a love story. I thought this is an interesting discussion so created a separate topic for discussion.

In my opinion, this show was always a saas-bahu (i.e. normal saas and a stammering bahu) show. I think I claimed this way back in DS-Thapki love story days as well. They start a show with Thapki's parents trying to get her married, her marriage breaks by the end of week. She moves to Noida and joins the office and Vasu-Pandey family drama is introduced the very next day.

The text in the beginning claims it to be story of person with a disability. There was never any exploration of this disability in any other aspect of Thapki's life except her getting married. The office experience was short and she was bullied like all soap leads are when they start a job. Even Khushi in IPKKND was bullied more or less the same.

TPK is and always was a saas-bahu show for me.

The difficulties of a stammering girl was the sales pitch. They never showed much of it so far and I don't expect to see much going forward. This is a saas-bahu show like any other in the garb of difficulties in the life of a person with a disability.

Agree with you katori..They never promoted Thapki as a love story.. it 's all about difficulties a girl face due to her disability.. They made us remember that fact everyday by that disclaimer..😉.. i feels that love story in this plot is like a bonus .. 😳.. So i don't get disappointed easily because of not getting a full fledged love story . It's an another matter altogether that it's Thapki-Bihaan story made me a fan of the show..😉.. i'm ready to wait till my patience level hit the bottom..😆

I think the stammering played a big part only in thapki's marriage where she was marroed off to sumone she couldnt stand instaead of sumone she apparently loved. So ,i think that was the only big change that thapki's life faced. Anyways, i think anyother bahu of india telivision could also have suffered the same fate, for any other reason.

My only problem with the show is that it is painfully slow - nothing moves for months - no character or plot line development - EXCEPT Aditi-Diwaker story which moves every time, even in the 2 min time slot allocated to it.

Yes theres very slow to almost no movement in the storyline. Even now for bihaan to get to know why Thapki did what all she did will take months I think. But Bihaan said in his IV that kuch hi din me pta chlna he unko which surprised me unless thapki herself tells him. That's why I am skeptical over Thahaan moving out of PN. How can the serial survive without SBS? 😕

Think of this as once in a 3 month kick. They will move the plot a few inches and then go back to sleep for next 3 months. 😆

@Bold Maty, tum kabse interviews ko itni important dene lagi??😕😉.. i think it was just manish's own opinion dat bahut jaldi shradha ki sach zamne ayegi , or vasu's involvement in this matter.. 😕.. He is being optimistic i think..😆😆..

Agree with Gree. Actors usually have no idea what is coming next. I never watched IV and now have stopped watching OLVs too. 😆😆
