First and foremost let me start with saying I have not watched even single episode of Parichay so sticking with just the show that I really watchout for with a lot of expectation BALH.
Actually, here are some questions I would like to ask:
1. What is wrong if Ram, the Tycoon is feeling jealous about his wife Priya being close with his friend? These are just common feelings which would come up for any normal human being. Now, just because Ram is The Ram Kapoor, does it mean, he has to be a robo...? I am not saying God, because even God The Ram, sent his wife to the forest upon someone saying something (though baseless)... So, what is the harm if he feels jealous? These things really do happen is real life and what is the harm, if Ekta shows it in her serial.
2. Now, Ram The Father: I can completely understand his feelings of not being able to be there for his LOVING wife and Daughter whom he has never seen or known of... What would have Priya done or thought, if Ram had done a similar thing? Aage badna chahiye, but how could she really even think that he will go ahead in life, without her? Is that what mature love teaches to a person??? If we are going to go ahead with the telephone conversation which Ram appreciated some lady's earrings, is their love and understanding so nimble that she thought that he has gotten settled with someone else sooo soon? That does not fly at all...
3. Priya the Mom: I feel it is completely unfair to Priya as a mom, to be taken away from her child, however, I guess, these things do happen in real-life too. If everything was picture perfect in terms of people's characters in day to day life, why do we see so many family courts and divorce/custody cases, may it be India or abroad... So, this too has been picked up by Ekta from real-life into reel world.
4. Neha and Vikram - Really??? So what if Neha or Vikram has had a past??? Most of us in the recent world do have a past in real-life, may not be to the extent of Neha..., but we all have our dark secrets... Why should Ram feel so betrayed by Neha and Vikram, it is their life damnnn it... They themselves are going through so much and trying to help you get out of your loss, and they have been there for you every single step of the way... So, what if they dont tell it at the right time and you find it out later... Friendship is beyond everything and unconditional, you should learn to accept a friend as he/she is, and so really, no big ahaa oohoo in saying that your friend deceived you. They just did not tell you the truth, it is not that they lied to you... So, Ram grow up and stop being this emotional mess!
5. Ram being deceived by his mom (I am assuming he is talking about Niharika, the Naag) - So, The Ram Kapoor, it is really really your fault and not anyone else's that you let her ride all over you. When you were a child yes, it is different, but when you grew up and were running this business empire, an ordinary Toefl teacher like Priya could smell the fish in Niharika and you were mighty happy in your ignorance is bliss mode!!! Really? So, it is no one else's fault... That said this is also not anything that does not happen in real-life...
So, really Ekta is showing what happens in real-life (but ofcourse she picks up extremes in each situation and highlights) in the reel world. Just because it is our favourite characters, or the serial which we are looking forward to, does not mean that she is butchering each character!
This is just my 2c worth, and it is not intended to hurt anyone!
