Vedika was suppose to be a three months cameo character. The wedding was never on the cards. Somewhere I feel the fans are to be blamed for this wedding. So much buzz was created around the wedding and would it and would it not happen, the trps were soaring, so the cvs struck while the iron was hot. They used the negative publicity for their advantage and kept increasing the episode count.
Once the wedding happened, the cvs ego was challenged further by the “RIPDKP” trends and the official complaints to IBF. Due to bigamy claims, Kaira were divorced in less than an episode and the custody track was introduced. It was mentioned that Kartik Vedika got their marriage re-registered because the fans kept mentioning the second marriage was illegal.
Rajan Shahi is an egoistic man who only cares about his show and increasing the episode count. It’s evident that he treats his actors as a money making machine and if they even slightly contradict him, he breaks ties with them, all under the pretence of “nobody is bigger than the show”.
Anyways, that being said, even the cvs seemed confused on how to wrap up Vedika’s character. It’s evident from the past few storylines that they were needlessly stretching her character because they didn’t know how to end the marriage by not showing anyone in a poor light.
As I said, it’s better for us if we stop discussing Vedika altogether. Her character was a dark spot and it has spoilt yrkkh’s legacy. It’s a hard pill to swallow for the makers but it’s the truth. I feel they ended Vedika’s character on a positive note (according to them), so as to still maintain the facade that Yrkkh is a positive show with no real negative character. Idk who Rajan Shahi & his team are trying to fool but all’s well that end’s well I guess. If believing that Vedika was a positive character & their show is still realistic and relatable, helps them sleep at night then so be it 🤷🏻♀️.
Totally agree with the bolded part.
Slightly different take on Vedika's character (maybe just to make up for all the irritation she and the actress have caused us all). If actions speak louder than words, then they really are not ending Vedika's character on a positive note. Despite what has been said or written by the writers, actors, DKP or Pankuri Awasthy, everything we've been shown so far indicates Vedika is an extremely mentally unbalanced and immoral character. Would any person who behaved as she has ever be considered normal or decent by any realistic standards? No. Even today's scene of Naira daydreaming about what would happen if she exposed Vedika's actions reinforces that everyone realizes Vedika is flat-out nuts. All Vedika's past actions confirm that Naira's fears are not unfounded - she is a total psychotic desperado who is not afraid to kill herself to harm someone else, and is fine with ruining an innocent person's life for the sake of her own delusions and lust. That is not a positive character in any shape or form. Vedika reminds me of the obsessed roommate from the movie "Single White Female" in her desperation to take Naira's place.
Clearly Pankuri Awasthy has some sort of clause or condition that she will be playing 'a positive character' in the show and probably the creatives are legally bound to support that on paper. But it seems to me the writers have gotten her true character across to the audience pretty clearly.
I was also very irritated to learn that she will be hugged and forgiven and all that. But if one thinks about it, maybe that's the best way to treat a crazy volatile person like Vedika. Cornered rats fight viciously. Naira's daydream showed that the consequences of confronting Vedika directly about her wickedness would be messy because she's not a sane person. In the end, maybe Kaira and the Goenkas realized the only way she will go without causing problems is if they pretend to agree with her delusion that she is not really a bad person and make an act of forgiving her.
And if we look at what actually happens in this final episode (assuming the snippets I've seen online are accurate), Vedika's dimwitted and delusional nature is what Kartik cleverly uses to divorce her, and then she is essentially kicked out of the house in the middle of the night like an errant maidservant. Its kind of funny actually - I wonder if Ms. Pankuri "I'm a positive character" Awasthy realizes she can now add "mentally-ill sex-crazed psycho" to her acting resume.
