This is the first time that I am watching an Indian show while it is being aired. I also regularly come to IF to know what's going on with the show.
I have to admit: it is MENTALLY tiring to watch an Indian show.
I love KP and I love Ishra. In the beginning, whenever someone on the forum would talk about Shagun coming back to Bhalla house, I would get so mad but I wouldn't voice out my feelings. I just didn't understand what kind of idiotic person would accept their partner's ex in their home. This does not happen in my world. But I'm not from India, I don't understand how Indian shows work and with time, I have learnt to my detriment (mostly to the detriment of my mind) that it's normal to see such things on Indian shows. And I found out about TRPs - the reason why we have to bear with illogical tracks.
So now I watch YHM only for KP and Ishra and the lovely Ruhi. I don't really have much hopes that Shagun would grow up, develop a spine and self-respect and start being independent. Adi was born without a brain. His mother brainwashed him during her separation from Raman and despite seeing Ashok's truth many times, he still hates Raman. There is no character growth on this show except for Simmi - that was one pleasant surprise.
Can't there be a platform where audience and creatives can interact? I feel that coz of TRP audience, CVs feel like they can show audience anything and get away with it. Don't they have a moral responsibility towards their audience? Agreed this is a show for entertainment purposes, but it is the most popular show and it is followed by millions of viewers. People can be influenced by such regressive tracks.
Since this is a 'rant' post, I would like to list my grievances too 😆
1. Shagun. Most people here think that Ishita is the dumbest character, but I would like to give the stupidity crown to Shagun. I hate this character. She has no morals, no self respect and no brains. If I were the judge in the custody case, I would give Adi's custody to Ishita too. Shagun always needs a man to support her, and the support is always of a financial nature.
2. Adi. Grow up child. Be a brother to ur sister and start thinking on ur own. Agreed u r a kid, but kids are smart nowadays! Can't u see how needy and dependent ur mother is? Can't u see how happy Ruhi is with her parents? Don't u feel ur father's love, need for u?
3. Ishita and Raman. Please start talking to each other instead of the usual nok-joks. True I love them, but as mature adults, u 2 need to start talking about ur issues. Raman forcing himself on Ishu and then the 2 did not even talk about it! That was ridiculous.
4. Ishita. No woman would ever tolerate or accept their partner's ex in their house. This is not done! I can understand the heart of gold but I cannot relate to the stupidity.
5. Raman. I miss the old RKB. Please start asserting urself again. You used to be so clever. But TRP monster got to u too.
I can't be bothered to write about Mihika - another TRP victim.
So nowadays, my brain is on the 'off' mode so that I can enjoy Ishra scenes and watch my KP. Dunno how long this will last coz I'm dreading Shagun's entry in B house.
I don't know if there is a platform where makers n audience interact. In a way its gud coz they will b confused as to who to follow as different people have different opinions. 😆
I think somewhere we all agree that stereotyping characters or relationships is ok but there should be some limit to it.
N ya we all love the actors n also the storyline is Good too overall only if at some places they will not get OTT. 😆
