As an on and off viewer of this show, I started feeling soon after the first Kaira Vivah that Kaira and mostly just Naira started hijacking the show. Now since yrkkh loves it's weddings, we can compare weddings of two supporting characters and contrast how the relationships and storylines are balanced.
Yash and Rose: An inter-racial and inter-religious wedding. The whole track focuses on the complexities of the same, while giving focus to other parallel tracks such as- Gayu-Naira-Kartik love triangle, Naira Akshara tensions, Akshara missing Naitik, Naksh and his abandonment issues etc. I felt that all tracks were well balanced and the bride and groom got as much importance as the other leads.
Anmol-Mansi: At this point Naira was the unquestionable lead and both Anmol and Mansi were related to the extended family. However most of the wedding only focused on Kaira, their problems and their divorce. The bride and groom barely got space at their own wedding ceremony and any felt like plot device when they could have paid attention to developing AnMan as a couple with a lot of baggage.
Both of Naksh's marriages could also be compared in this way. Both had potential problems but only in one were they properly handled.
Thank you for reading!😊
