@Samaina_1910

Hi Sam, thanks for commenting.

You have raised some very important aspects that I guess I did not stress enough from the aspect of the show. I will quote your statements and reply to those.

Your Comment in reds followed by my response:

Sameer fell in love with Naina, not because she was beautiful or rich, but because she mesmerised him with an inner beauty and selfless love that he never knew existed...the zeal with which she cared for him, prompted him to protect her no matter what...even before he realised what his heart longed for!

So, very apt point.From the beginning, the writers are hammering the notion repeatedly that Naina is not beautiful physically nor she is among the rich circles of the society.

So, what made Sameer fall for her? It was sheer power of Naina's inner beauty and selfless love to the core. A girl who took all the risk to express her love. Even going to the extent of letting him stay in her room overnight and even trying to burn her hand to feel his pain. These are the things that made Sameer fall hard for her.

And Sameer's love for Naina, made her the most beautiful girl for him. The key is Naina's inner beauty and selfless love for Sameer. Writers went to lengths to build that aspect of Naina however at the same time they kept on stressing on her plain looks whenever writers felt like.

Hence we as viewers connected with that Naina who was strong, self less, loved her family and also made a loveless arrogant boy fall and feel in love.

he did a horrible mistake...no less than a crime. A crime, which could hardly be forgiven easily, but I give it to the CVs for making me awed with which the character of Sameer was redeemed and refined! Wow! I felt more inclined to Sameer over Naina, considering it was Naina I had related to since the beginning! Sameer made sure Naina realized he was repentent, reformed, cared for her and loved her honestly, truly!

Sameer did a horrible mistake or a sin breaking the heart of such an innocent and selfless girl. And he went through a long series of redemption to redeem himself.

Without that redemption it would have been very difficult for the viewers to see Naina accepting Sameer back in her life.

Munna's concerns are on point.

1. Naina has till now NOT admitted that Arjun stole the papers. She should have done that to Sameer at least long back, considering he was her future life partner- someone she trusts, loves and respects. Or so it seemed.

2. The psychology POV actually makes sense to me. Naina is actually submissive in front of her family or Sharad, but with Sameer, she pounces on each opportunity to dominate. She dictates the terms of relationships- if and when they should go out, where they should go out, if they should meet or talk on phone or not. She decides to break up or make up and takes it like a light-hearted fight.

This is where the writers are going wrong. They are not giving dialogues to the character of Naina to connect with what the writers are making her do on the. As far as the character of Naina goes, the writers are in a hurry to close the loop without giving any sort of proper dialogues to close the track.

For example, in the Bet Revelation to Puja marriage track, ample amount of dialogues and efforts were shown by the character of Sameer to deserve the love of Naina. Bet Revelation and Sameer's redemption was one of the most important tracks and it was dealt properly.

After that, the current Naina deciding to leave Sameer is the most important track that also required proper before ending before jumping in to another track. And yet again, the writers are miser in showing Naina retrospective of her unilateral actions and its consequences for Sameer.

On top that the writers though its apt to show Naina shouting at Munna for being Jealous of her as she is close to Sameer. (Please note, a wife or GF accusing and getting angry on her partner's friend for being too nosy at other times might be ok).

But here thats is not the scenario. Due to Naina's ME and My Family Pride First decision, Sameer was on the verge of renouncing all and making an utter fool of himself. And in this hard time Munna was all through with Sameer supporting him otherwise in real life cases boys can equally harm themselves. Hence, this was not the time for Naina character to accuse Munna and then try the jump stunt. Why are the writers just confusing every one regarding the portrayal of Naina?

And that was the basis of this post.

I was expecting negative reactions but some went over board and personal. What many fail to understand is my disappointment on how the writers are treating the character of Naina compared to how they portrayed her in the initial days.

Hi R & R,

My apologies for the delayed reply.

First let me thank you for the detailed points. Its always nice to read your thoughts as you articulate them so well. There are times when you support some of my points and sometimes critical of it. But, its always nice to read your views as it adds more points to my understanding of human psychology.

Thanks again for the detailed explanation and concurring with my points.

1. I was also equally surprised when there were many supporters of Naina's Suicide drama. What the writers made Naina do was essentially threatening to get her way. Surprised that very few of the viewers objected to it. I was more surprised to see many glorify it. It was out of my understanding.

2. Yes people hurt the people they love. That's what Sameer did. He hurt Naina and her love. And it was shown that Sameer did all that he can do to get his redemption and Naina's love back.

But for Naina, the writers do not think it is required. They are showing as if Naina is having selective Amnesia and back to playing and acting casual as if only the viewers went through the previous episodes. She has till date not expressed guilt or regret for leaving Sameer.She also seems extremely pleased with her idea to commit suicide..So no regrets there either.This appears like clear insensitivity to the impact of her actions on the people who love her.

Hence, the writers need to tighten it up. As, its the fact that Naina is the crux of the story. Hence, writers need to tighten how Naina is shown it to interact and behave with Sameer.

As we all like the serial due to its perceived closeness to reality, the rushed approach to Naina's character is leading to the disconnect.

As always, thanks again for taking time out to share your opinions on my post.

Hi 😊
I'm relatively new to the forum, but needed to post on this thread.
I was with Naina, till the mandir confession scene with Chachaji. She had seen her father attempt suicide in Shefali/Arjun case, n frankly at that point, n after her promise to her Chachaji, I couldn't see her being able to continue with Sameer. She had to back off at that point, as she could see no future for herself with Sameer anymore. So, instead of taking her relationship further n then backing off at a later stage, which would translate into an even bigger heartbreak for Sameer, she chose to break off with Sameer as soon as she could.

But ...but ...but ...I totally lost my connect with Naina, since she returned to college after the mandir confession n patch up with Sameer. Her entire demeanor was alien to Naina's core character...the riddles, body language, everything, post a traumatic breakup with Sameer/ then with Sharad, should have had a profound effect on Naina, for having had a great escape in life. Also, there should have been guilt for having subjected Sameer to this kind of heart break.

And the final nail in the coffin was, according to me, that instead of understanding Munna's true & valid concern for Sameer, post Sameer's breakup announcement, & approaching Munna for a heart to heart convo, she accused him of being jealous of her n Sameer. Her suicide attempt was the icing on the coffin, if I may say so 😆

Cvs have done severe character assassination of the sweet, humble, loving, friendly Naina. Damage control act is required...asap...else, I for one, am feeling alienated from Naina for the time being, while I was her staunch supporter all along, empathising with her thru out her journey hitherto...

Cvs, get your act together, please...😊

Hi There,

Thank for taking time out to comment on the post.

I agree to your points. Its not that being a male, I do not understand the issues for a girl in a middle class family to proclaim that she is love with a boy.

But we also have to see the story from a boy (Sameer's POV also).

And yes the jumping of roof drama and accusing Munna, I don't know what were the writers drinking 😃

Thanks again for your POVs
