To Director Kut Production

I am really confused from where to start. From the imperfections (which is a lot more in number) or the perfections?

Will start with the perfections.

Thank you for making everyone real people. Can I say that Aarohi type people does not exist? No! They do exist. But so do people like Akshara.

Thank you for giving us Neil Birla. Yet another imperfectly perfect character.

The way you have build Abhimanyu Birla is commendable. Thank you for that.

Thank you for writing Akshara and Abhimanyu, the way you did. Thank you for leaving a chance of improvement for them. Thank you for making them human with flaws, perfections, some imperfect perfect decisions, some wrongs and other right.

And thank you for giving us Manjiri Birla. I know what popular belief is but I say this with full certainty that, she is one of the character who makes me think, create, write and understand. For me, she is one of the character whose story I am waiting to unfold.

All the characters in the show are human. Some are almost black, some are darker shade of grey while some are lighter shade of it. But everyone have room for growth. They all have to learn, unlearn, step back, move forward and live.

Thank you for giving us the drunken sequence. It showed us how real AbhiRa is. It showed us how much they crave, want, long for each other. It showed us how if they converse with each other, all the problems will be solved.

CHARACTERS-

1) Coming to Aarohi, people like her do exist. She runs away from her problems and guilt by blaming it on Akshara. She does not know any other way to deal with it. No one corrected her and now the wrong has become the right for her.

But she have to realise that if she lost her mother, Akshara lost hers too. She is so lost in her wrongdoings that Akshara right is wrong for her. For her, Akshara right will snatch everything from her and she does not want it. She don't know how to handle loneliness, no attention and failures. And in her quest to be No.1, she forgot, that someone out there is always going to be better than her in some aspect. And not everyone will be like Akshara.

Aarohi has to realise that her childhood trauma does not give her a right to behave the way she do. That if she is in pain and if she is lost, she should seek help... Not go on blaming others and committing crime.

2) Akshara has to realise that what Aarohi do to her is abuse. She has lived apart from her family in a different city, must have met different people. She should have an opinion on her own and not follow what her Mimi says blindly. I agree that many times the victim does not realise that what's happening to them is abuse but they slowly realise when they meet different people. When they observe.

You have shown Akshara as someone who observe, analyse and think and Aarohi is her weakness. I am not asking you guys to wage a war between them suddenly but make Akshara realise that Aarohi has always used her, abused her mentally so much that her physical health is in jeopardy.

Also, I get the childhood trauma part. Her childhood trauma mainly roots from Sirat's words and her promise to always take care of Aarohi and after her parents death, gratefulness to Goenkas for taking her in and fear of loosing Aarohi. We bottle our emotions up because we think our sharing it will hurt them. I get the fire credit part too.

But, there is no justification of she supporting Aarohi lies for 40 Lakhs.

There is difference between bottling up our emotions, hurt, fears and lying to our parents, hurting them and covering the bigamy of 40 lakhs.

And she has lived away for 3 years from her family, in a completely new city and must have met new people. Stop giving her dialogues like "ladko ki berozgaari se lekar, ladki ke pimple tak ka solution shaadi Hai. Shaadi ke baad sab thik ho jata hai." Or "main apni sabse pyaari cheez Aarohi ko de kar uska pyaar Jeet lungi". Neither she is from 80s nor Abhimanyu is a candy.

And she have lived in a happy family except Aarohi. So you making her ignore everyone trust and love just for gaining Aarohi's is a headache.

There are steps one take to come out from the abuse and emotional manipulation especially when they know the other person is wrong but all you are showing is crying and no work. I have literally no problem with her crying it all out, feeling helpless but when she knows the truth, make her reflect on it. Make her wipe her own tears and stand up again. Make her realise that what she did is wrong and tell the truth.

Till now, she is covering Aarohi lies and while doing so, she making it equal.

You have an arch here. Develop it nicely!!!!!

3) Dr. Abhimanyu Birla

His every breath takes Akshara's name. He has suppressed his love for so long that when Akshara came, wrapped with love and care and her voice became his abode, his love surpassed every boundary. He learnt to express his love. He just don't know how to unlove Akshara, how to not protect her, how to not care. Even when he ignored he did not let her fall.

She can break his heart n no. of time but even for the nth no. he will come back to her, ready to love her, shower her with care. He will be ready to get his heart broken again.

Dil todne ka aur dil jodne ka, dono ka haq sirf Akshara ko hai.

But the bike scene was badly executed. Even though the back story made sense, it was not needed and so not like Abhimanyu we know!

I know Akshara makes him loose control, his emotions slips from his hands but you have to draw the line in right and wrong.

He have to work on his restlessness and anger issues. He have to become emotionally strong. He can be patient with her but she has to speak up but even if she is not speaking up, he has to go to a comfort place, calm down and then move forward.

But most importantly makers, don't you dare mess up exploring his childhood trauma. Don't make it another Anupama where children seeing the abuse have effects but no help. Because I don't know if you know this but living in a family like Birlas is mentally and physically exhausting. The fear and scars of Abhimanyu has not healed and please don't just make it like Akshara singing and love and care will heal it.

Can you for once show them attending therapy? Please it's needed. We have so much stigma around it and to be very honest, every character of yeh rishta demands it, you have a large audience and entertainment do influence the minds, so please do your bit to change the mindset and make it better.

If you guys want, you can ask a grad student for help. I am sure they will be ready to help and will not even ask for some high amount of money.

4) Neil, is a sweetheart. His story is not explored kuch but what I gathered is, he loves Abhimanyu and Manjiri to death and feels grateful to them because they gave him it all... Love, care, attention, home. He should have told about 40 lakhs to elders and not only to Akshara.

5) I have already written a post on Manjiri and discussed it with Avni... So sharing the links.

P.S. phew, I am tired! This was getting longer than I thought it will be. Have to write more but it will be in another post!

Reserved for storyline and execution!

Reserved for wishlist!

Thanks for writing it down 😊 a much needed post.

All characters have their own flaws.

Arohi: selfish,arrogant,greedy and immature. She weighs everything by number of items she won on the race.right from the beginning she was shown as some one who either tries her level best or cheats.

Eg: mask festival race where she won by her hardwork but she wanted to win that couple dance by trying to see who is abhi. For her it does not matter how she wins. It could be majorly because she learnt that from her childhood. When sirath died she was more worried about blaming akshara so that she can win goenkas love as she was sort of jealous. That had huge impact on her as if she would have not done that then i bet akshu would be everyone's favoruite in the home.

She will slowly realize that winning matters but it will take away each and every realtion from her and she would be left alone at that time akshu would be the one who will support her which will surely make her realize its always been akshu who stood by her side like a rock. ❤️to makers i really want this to happen where family will go against arohi and akshu supports her by going against them please.

Akshu: she need to focus on her career too.. i know she is being a therapist but being a therapist if she does not understand human behaviours then it will look really odd. She knew abhi does not love arohi and arohi was constructing a castle with lies. She was okay with that. But i felt she really need to speak to arohi try to help her understand than just nodding her head. Because she knows how abhi is. He will never lovet arohi nor he will give any attention. Even he might not even go home after marriage and become workholic to avoid all noises. If she is silent it will really raise a question whether she really loved her sister or not.

Request to makers please make akshara strong. We really need her to mature and should work and think according to her profession.

Abhi: He is one of the well written character but with flaws. Sometimes he overreact. Sometimes the povs sort of missing from all character which does not give clear what exactly they are trying to do. More than dream sequence i really wish abhi and akshu to have face to face conversation.. not on phone.. face 2 face.

Also we need a strong male lead who will support her wife in her career and he will protect from all goenkas. We dont want him to become a toy between manjari and akshu.

We would really want to see bonds between akshu and manjari and neil do not spoil there characters by adding jealousy. Thats a request.😊
