The CVs have totally dropped the ball when it comes to Keerti as a character.

Up until the point when the family finds out the truth about Aditya and their subsequent separation, I understood her actions. She had grown up with the very conservative Dadi and I understood why she didn't speak up. After all the torture she went through, it would take time to pick up all the pieces and feel whole again. Her spirit was broken. And the CVs had an excellent opportunity to show how she gradually comes into her own despite everything she suffered, with her family standing firmly behind her at every step. But they didn't offer her character that chance at all.

The first instance that comes to mind is the sequence where Kaira take her out with them. They are going to a couple's party where she is denied entry and she chooses to go home without informing them. I am not going to debate who was right or wrong in that situation. It was discussed extensively on this forum. In my opinion, that whole track was poorly done. Instead of showing something positive where she finally gets a chance to smile and relax, they unnecessarily turned her character into a plot device to create needless conflict between Naira and Dadi.

Where she should have been entirely wary of new relationships after her history, she was shown to fall in love in seconds. Her friendship with Naksh was honestly sweet. They should have let that friendship grow. He should have been there for her as friend and that's it.

Instead they again used her as a plot device to create conflict between Naira and Dadi, where Dadi manipulates Naira into considering Naksh as a potential groom, putting her in an impossible situation. Which then led to the rushed wedding with Naksh's unwarranted "sacrifice" and eventually a major misunderstanding between Kaira.

Even today, her being caught by goons was completely redundant. She again had to "saved" by Naksh and Kaira. It should have been a powerful moment for her character where she is actually given a choice of her own for the first time in a long time.

Character roles can be very well fleshed out too. They can be three dimensional roles with interesting stories. They don't always need to be reduced to mere plot devices. It's a pity because she could have been an interesting, mature character but they chose to reduce her to a perennial damsel in distress.

Just FYI, this whole post is directed towards CVs. I have nothing against Mohena. These are just my opinions. Feel free to agree or disagree.

I agree with you, Keerti is a confusing character who is so weak to even stand up for her self. She needs to grow confident and save herself because next time no one will be there to save her all the time. She needs to have trust in her self too. I thought being saved by Naira and Naksh was pointless, why show her with the goons who are trying to attack her.

I tend to disagree with you. Keerthi's character growth definitely needs to be shown and it is also being portrayed but the speed at which you are saying is not possible.

Looking at the conservative Said, Keerthi's must have got married at a young age with confidence but also with all the Orthodox thinking. Aditya started breaking that confidence slowly by ridiculing and torturing her at every step for god knows how many years. Even in Mayka she was only blamed for things due to which she lost all her self-worth.


Then Naksh came into her life. He was soft spoken and gave her immense respect unlike her husband, Aditya so attraction towards Naksh or liking him will not take much time for a character like Keerthi who has been always ridiculed by both her mayka and in- laws.

Now coming down to Keerthi's confidence after her family started supporting so then trust me it's not easy to get one's confidence after being ridiculed for so long, in addition with people taunting makes you feel more like a loser rather than you fighting with them. Emotions of Keerthi were apt at every situation till date.


The process of her able to speak her mind has started with the help of her family and it's only going to be nurtured more under the wings of Naksh. It's a gradual process and we are set to witness the journey of a confident Keerthi who is ready to take on the world on her own.. hope CV's show it properly.

You might've not read the post clearly, miraaya clearly said that the cv's haven't given Keerti a chance which is the same as you have put. What she mean is that the character hasn't received any progression yet. They have still portrayed her as weak, they need to give the character the confidence she needs so that she can progress further.

With Kirti they have made it look like a woman needs a man to live.
Aditya abused her mentally and physically, but then they show her missing doing things for her husband as she sees the other ladies doing their husband's work. This can be over looked because when we have a habit it takes time to change. Same day we saw her going to the party again, when she stands outside alone she feels sad and dejected looking at a couple, instead of being happy or at least slight bit content that she at least doesn't have a abusive husband by her side, she was sad not having a man by her side. Does a woman need a man by her side then only she can be happy? I honestly would have loved to see her going in the coffee shop, having a good alone time and then realising that it had been such a long time since she took all thoughts and fears out of her mind.

Great one, you don't always need a man to live a life. But maybe later one. Keerti who had just came out of an abusive marriage would've liked to see her be Single and become independent at least for a year. What you have summed up was correct, Keerti would've been happy doing things for herself and not depend on others. It would've been great if their marriage was slowed down, they rushed too much for their marriage.

Creep made Kirti feel she was useless, nothing without him. They should have showed her proving to him that she can do something on her own without him or another. Imagine Kirti working in Krishna or Singhania along with Naksh, few scenes of Naksh admiring her growing from a weak girl to a strong one, Naksh being caring but Kirti not appreciating it as she doesn't trust men accept her brother and father after Aditya. Kaira seeing this and realising that they need to have Kirti overcome her fears. Instead of trying to give a focused but rushed story, they should have given Kirti Naksh a story which ran in the background slowly letting it bloom.

Thank you for disagreeing respectfully. :)

I essentially want the same thing for her character, for her to be ready to take on the world. The point of difference is the journey they have shown.
You are happy with the tracks we have gotten. I feel this marriage was unnecessary at this point of time.
Like I said, instead of giving her an empowering story, they have reduced her to a mere plot device to create conflict between other characters.

Naksh could have given her confidence as a friend as well. The family was supporting her as well. Yes, it takes time. But that was up to the CVs to show gradual changes.
Someone who has been treated so badly is usually wary of relationships in general, no matter how nice the other person is. It takes time to heal and they should have given her character that chance.

I agree with the bold part. They should have shown her character gradually starting to feel whole again. It should have been an example of how a woman comes out of it and stands triumphant.
It is okay to need support. Everyone needs it some time. She is human. But gradually at least she should have shown some independence.


Even if not alone in a coffee shop, when Kaira took her out, there was no need to show that nonsense thing about couple's entry only. The CVs should have kept it positive because it was finally a chance for her to breathe and enjoy. But they had to show Dadi disagreeing with Naira and used Keerti's character to accomplish that.

I don't think Keerti's character is always utilized to show KD vs Naira...they never fell short of other ideas and reasons to show KD vs Naira...like they showed KD unwilling to permit Naira to dance which had nothing to do with Keerti but KD's own conservative traditional beliefs...they showed KD asking Naira to choose between her myka and sasural (immediately after marriage after greh pravesh and reception) that also had nothing to do with Keerti even before Keesh wedding KD asked her to...they showed KD-Manish vs Naira when Soumya's death track truth was about to reveal...this time Keerti was showed weak not to portray KD vs Naira...as both of them were on same side...Sometimes modern approach and traditional values are a deadly combo...
