There has been a lot of Gopi bashing today, I'm a bit weirded out by it.
OK so in todays episode Gopi was irritating, slightly, but not really that much! She's going to side with Rashi because Rashi is her sister and Gopi doesn't believe that Rashi would have done anything that bad. To Gopi's mind Rashi has stood up for her against Urmila and even Ahem, and has always looked out for her.
We have to remember that really only the viewers know about all the kalakaries Rashi has done against Gopi. The ones that Gopi knows about she has been manipulated to think that Rashi has been acting in her best interests ie with the Anita ghost thing Rashi made it seem that she was trying to bring Gopi and Ahem together etc.
Gopi has no reason to disbelieve her sister, it's only because we as viewers know the truth we get so annoyed at her blind belief in a sister who is so evil.
The whole character of Gopi is one of innocence, purity of thought and an innate belief in people. It is this innocence that has made most of the Modi family love her. It has got Kokila thinking of her as a daughter and slowly but surely is getting Ahem to fall in love with her.
I love Gopi and yeah she needs to become more worldly but I love her innocence.

Yeah I mean I got frustrated today about Gopi as well but I feel like it's because it's so obvious to us what Urshi are doing!! To Gopi it's not that obvious so she won't leap to think badly of her sister.
The other thing about Gopi is, as you say, she won't gossip or tell tales. Urshi know this as well. If anyone tells her to keep quiet for their sake she probably will unless it is to someone else's detriment, then we've seen Gopi speak up even though she might get into trouble herself.

Sorry if I sound like I'm on a crusade lol but over the past week there's been a lot of people hating on Gopi. I don't know if it's because people are annoyed at not having Ahem on the show but it's weird.
I'm not even going to try and tell people that they can't have their own opinions on the various characters, I felt it was unjust so started my own thread to explain my reasoning.

Nazma, I guess you are right, we all did attack Gopi today. I think we are all frustrated because Ahem has been absent all week and on top of that we got nothing but Urshi and their idiotic tricks, and Gopi taking their side. We all forget time to time that she really is not aware of all that they've done to her.

My apology for Gopi bashing and I hope we all get some awesome episodes next week leading to a rocking Maha Episode.

Lol I feel really bad now.
I think it is Ahem withdrawal symptoms, unfortunately the CVs have decided that with Ahem being absent Gopi should just spend her time with Rashi.
People have full right to take their frustrations out on the characters and I'm not saying anyone is wrong to do so, it's just some of the posts I've read seem to be calling Gopi dumb and worse almost as if she is wilfully taking Rashi's side knowing that Rashi is wrong.

I agree with you..That is the portrayal of her character since beginning and only if there is a big revelation or incident happens then only she will recognise the true Rashi. Well, there were incidents which could have opened Gopi's eyes, such as bhoot track (she agreed that Rashi was wrong), exam drama (she could easily figure out how Rashi was delaying with unusual prayer) and Rashi organising pooja for the anniversary which was Gopi's idea. But they were not strong enough to convince her about the intentions of Rashi.

As a character, she was never being shown angry with anybody since the beginning even with Urmi. Rashi was always showing supportive and caring to Gopi outside. Even, Kinjal was mean and rude to Gopi many times, but still she was always concerned for her. So I feel, it is part of her character portrayal, that Gopi is shown blind to Rashi. I know everybody is frustated with the fact that she is trying to stop Jigar from revealing the fact to the family. But, I feel this will act as a trigger in building true relationship between Gopi and Rashi later.

Let's hope that with all kalakari exposure, Gopi will have some brains and Kokila and Aham will make her understand that the real world is not full of good people but there are bad people too around us.

Nazma, don't feel bad. What you said was right.
We know it is not Gopi fault for her actions. She is innocent and naive at times. Of course, she is going to give the benefit of the doubt to her sister, it is only natural. Rashi and Urmila is her family after all.
I guess the frustration everyone is having is that Ahem is being missed and Urshi have yet to get caught with their tricks.
Viewers just have to keep in mind all the characters point of view that is all. Venting out our frustration is fine as long as it doesn't get out of hand. Also respecting other people's pov is important.
I really can't wait for Rashi and Urmila to get caught. I hate them so much. I am so happy Jigar is not falling for Rashi's lies anymore. I am loving this anger Jigar. 😃

Yeah I hope Ahem and Kokila will help Gopi to realise the true intentions of people.
Rashi is very good at manipulating Gopi, she knows exactly which buttons to press to make Gopi feel guilty or sorry for her. So even with the kalakaries Gopi doun out about it is easy for Rashi to make it seem that she is doing it all for Gopi.
And it's not just Rashi who has taken advantage of Gopi's nature, even Koki and Ahem have with the track when Nani was here. They both needed Gopi to pretend that GoHem were a happily married couple and therefore even they are guilty of manipulating her.
Gopi's greatest weakness is that she will do anything for the people she loves.
