Young love portrayal in KYY-your take?

unres

i agree cumpletely they ar showing t extremely welll i would like to praise ur post because i ws highly impessed b the way u voicced your thoghts

Seriously with so many missed chances at kissing Nandu, Manik had to show a lot of self-restraint. 😆 😆Nandini was taking her own sweet time. I am not saying Manik is wrong in what he wants at all coz when two people are ready and know what they are doing they make it look like the most comfortable relationship. You see how two people who end up giving in to their physical intimacy can make it look wrong and again two people can make it look like the most comfortable and right thing to do-depends on how they handle it and if they are on the same plane-wanting the same things from relationship-moving together in same direction[relationship-wise]. I think Manik and Nandini want the same thing ultimately but their timings do not match. Nandini wants to take her own time. She wants to go slow. She will have to explain to Manik why. or the poor guy will have a difficult time waiting with all the pent-up feelings which is also not healthy.😆 😆

But you are right. She does bring stability and a certain calm/normalcy to his life. He himself confessed indirectly that she's been giving a lot of life lessons to him which he's values. And the changes in his behaviour -the impact of Nandu are there for everyone to see.

I loved how you pointed out the differences between the three couples in the show. The NavShad scene stands in stark contrast to the way MaNan are progressing, and the issue of teen pregnancy will bring this discussion out into the open. This is a youth show, and I for one would love to see a young couple, who love each other, have a mature discussion about this and then take the step. It's a good way to promote sexual awareness without the moralistic stand that most of desi tv seems to take about these issues.

Realistically too, Manik-Nandini know very little about each other. She knows nothing about his family, his personal likes and dislikes, nothing except for his relationship with Fab5 and his general character. He knows about her family background because he'd done a full background research on her during the 'Spot' days, but even he hardly knows about the kind of life she'd led before coming to Mumbai, or what her interests are. I'd love to see them date, and get to know each other, because that is the only way we the audience will get to know about them too. Plus Manik is sexually experienced, Nandini is very new to physical intimacy and has grown up in a conservative background on top of that. She's actually very open-minded when you look at it, but their intense physical attraction justifiably scares her and she does not want to be impulsive about this.

I don't think she wants to start from scratch as such, that's not possible. Maybe she meant they need to strike a balance between physical intimacy and meaningful conversation, which Manik's raging hormones are preventing them from doing right now. Her timing and wording was not the best today, but once he calms down and she explains herself, this should be a very mature way of showing a healthy teenage romance onscreen.

well thank you girl. Let's c how they handle the pregnancy track, lest I might have to take back my words.

First of all, thank you so much for giving your opinion. I also like KYY and the way they are showing teenage life. I am not criticising them. I agree with your take. That Yes KY2 is very relatable-quite realisitc and Sex has become an acceptable thing. What I am trying to convey is when you are 17-18, or in your teens, which is a delicate age, when you are very sensitive and impressionable, you got to give it some thought before doing it. You should be well-aware of the results and how to handle it if something goes wrong. Plus it should be with the right person and should be safe. And KYY shows it perfectly well that it is no longer a big deal but if you take a step without thinking it can be dangerous. We also have seen so many true cases in Gumrah and Webbed where when people got into physical intimacy without thinking things turned out wrong and most of the stories are about teenagers/youngsters.

Good post. Very well written and thought through! I agree with everything you have said.

How we behave, our moral compass, our idea of what we can or cannot accept is largely dictated by the society we are brought up in, by our surroundings. And we should be very proud of that. Intimacy is a very sensitive issue and could blow up in one's face and ruin one's life if not handled or nurtured properly - case in point Navya.

I would also like to add that sometimes when a young relationship goes wrong and hearts are broken, it can lead to the girl putting up false bravado and becoming the aggressor - like Mukti. Harshad cheating on her was so impactful that she has slotted all the men (minus Fab3) into one category, that they only want one thing and that if they have no problem sleeping around then neither does she and because she has been doing it for so long, it is hard for her to accept the refreshing change that is Abhimanyu. She cannot believe that he does not want her for her body. They have not shown us her story in full but it is clear that Mukshad were intimate (to whatever extent) when she was quite young and it was her first love. and he cheated on her thereby breaking all illusions of love. Making her into this person who uses offence as the best defence to protect her heart. Who needs to take anti-depressants to forget about the trauma of her heartbreak, which we all know is worse when one has crossed first/second or all bases. Her outlook towards men has further damaged her life and she does not realise that yet. and many girls go through this.

Which is why in a show like KY2, a character like Nandini is very important. her moral compass is what guides her. she isnt afraid to speak up and say no, because she is not comfortable with something. she is not ruled by the pressures of society but in fact, she is very proud of her upbringing and has faith in it.

Handling physical intimacy on a telly show is always tricky...add to the mix that its in a country like India, as much modern as its traditional and the cherry on top, its a youth show firmly anchored on reality...BAM...that's such an explosive scenario...I sincerely feel bad for the cvs.

Lets face the facts, the gen x has a very different view on physical intimacy...its natural, its a given and a part of a relationship's progression, nothing to be ashamed or embarrassed about, they take it in their stride. But a lot depends on your individual background. We all are mirrors of our upbringings, we reflect what we have seen as we were growing up!! Our morals and values are a gift from our families, we might not even be aware of accepting these gifts but they do change our moral outlook.

I think till now, the balance has been beautifully maintained in KY2 #respect!! On one side they have shown how physical intimacy is a very integral part of love, how proximity in romance plays a pivotal role in any love story and we wont have it otherwise. Yes, physicality is a very integral part of love and its high time we accept it. Attraction is indeed the first ,basic and primary stage of love.

Having covered this base gorgeously with Manan, they have established another fact with Navshad...the partner in the deed is very very important. Whether he/she is right or wrong, do you know him, or are you being blinded or bull dozed by love,..and the most important...consequences of your deed. Loved the way they sent out the message, naturally and casually that protection is a must...awesome cvs..love you for that!! But then went on to highlight that protection is not the final word and things can go wrong, so give it a thought before you take the big plunge. A big huge thank you from my side to team KY2 for stressing on this aspect of intimacy. Navya's plight is a huge eye opener for one n all I bet!! A very sensitive issue for now is being aptly handled.

And today took the cake, when Nandini, albeit hesitatingly, spoke up about her inhibitions with Manik. I was cheering all the way!! And if it would not have cropped up between them, I would have been sorely disappointed. Lately the last two episodes, had me puzzled as to why suddenly the intimacy quota had been amped to such an extent, and the text messages on the phone and today's conversation clinched the matter. The cvs are taking this exactly where it would go if a guy like Manik dates a girl like Nandini. Lets all be aware that is in a relationship, you are not comfortable with the physical aspect, pause, think and instead of being pressurized into something you might regret, speak up, discuss, talk about it with your partner. If you are mature enough to get into a physical equation, you should be mature enough to handle it too.

The Manik Aliya equation...was perfect. Looking at how long they were dating, and how young they started and their strata of society, theirs was natural and obvious.

To me nothing jars or sticks out like a sore thumb, each and every equation makes total sense.

I am absolutely loving how the different cases of intimacy have been portrayed and handled in this show. Loving it till now coz its real, its the truth out there, and they are not embroidering the truth.
