Why are the makers hell bent on whitewashing aarohi 🙄 - Page 2

This is why I have such a problem with the writing. Arohi is going to get a free pass again and the so called punishment is her "being alone" and "having her family members ignoring her" while some functions are being held for the couple that is in love and want to actually marry each other. Like I guess we are all insensitive because we are trying to celebrate the union of two people who love each other 🤔

Arohi never loved Abhi and only wanted his name to increase her social standing. So while I can empathize that her dream broke but thats life. You don't always get what you want. And sometimes life takes you on a different course to things and events that were meant for you to have. But if you always think negatively you can never appreciate what you truly have. That is the issue with Arohi she does not appreciate what she has. She has a family that loves her despite losing her parents. She has an elder sister who has protected her since forever but she takes Akshara’s love for granted. She has a medical degree and a job. She comes from a family that is rich so she has been afforded the comforts of a large home and whatever money can buy.

I get it she was humiliated when her groom didn't show up at the wedding and some of this wedding stuff is reminding her of everything. But I consider that part of her punishment for what she did in the first place. And she did get comforted by Bade Papa and Kairav so she cannot say she is alone.

If there was any growth in her character then I wouldn't be so harsh on her but I have seen none. Nor are the writers writing anything where Akshara talks to Arohi and hash this out instead it is like little outburts from Arohi feeling x way to gain sympathy and make it about herself.

I don't know if it is the writing, the direction, the acting or what but I simply lost sympathy for Arohi. I can no longer tell when she is honest or doing something to make it about her again.

How are they whitewashing her? She literally drove under the influence and did a hit and run, even if Manjari wasn’t the victim. Likewise, she’s hiding the truth from everyone and manipulating Akshu to do the same.

If they were whitewashing her, the accident track would’ve never happened. They’d follow the card drama with the music department gift to show how Akshu’s being favoured by the Birlas and how Aarohi’s left behind.

I’d argue that they aren’t whitewashing her but showing how negligent the Goenkas are and the improper of raising a child cause they do ignore so many things.

Also, the makers are showing Akshu’s pain in small chunks. Every time, Akshu read Nairas diary, it showed her longing for her mom. When Akshu and Abhi had that drunk night, it showed her pain, especially the scene in the hospital. I wish they were more consistent with it and focused on that more because it is an important part of Akshu’s story but the biggest consistency of this season is that the writers are only consistent in introducing multiple tracks, not completing them.

Moreover, if they’re ignoring someone’s trauma and pain, I’d say it’s actually Kairav’s. He’s been through a lot but we never see it.

You know you are actually right about cvs giving undue importance to a third angle but this aarohi thing has still left me in bad taste. I don't think they needed to start a love story with a third angle in it... Love stories starting in organic pure way holds the charm..

And for me, Aarohi is not as wrong as people in forum make her like villain types.. people have so much issue with Aarohi as she wanted to marry abhimnayu for his stardomm..everyone has different reason for marriage and Aarohi was not wrong in my opinion for her desire to marry a top doctor and she was interning with him also, so she must be impressed with skills and it's normal to want to marry a guy who is so capable in your profession ..even abhimnayu wanted to marry for a lame reason that is maa ki khushi...then why only aarohi is to blamed on? Aarohi still has a proper reason that she wants abhi n her to become power couple like top doctors thing.. what abhimanyu was doing was like he is bringing object home to satisfy his mom... So in my opinion abhimanyu was more wrong than her in this regard.. and let's not bring the fire incident angle..i feel it's very stupid to choose life partner on the basis on who jumped on fire for you.. he is a completely biased person and like 360 degree opposite when comes to akshar and aarohi.. i can't believe a person in real life who is so caring towards his wife , would be inconsiderate to other's feelings like his family members or to the girl whom he got engaged to previously.. there is something called respect which should be there in any relationship regardless of the past..and we have been shown in multiple instances how aarohi does care for her sister and whatever issues are there it's a family problem and it's between the sisters... It doesn't make aarohi ekta kapoor ke serial ki vamp.. like you people are saying that aarohi is being whitewashed unnecessarily.. i felt she was made to look dark also unnecessarily...they unnecessarily showed aarohi wants to go to give md exam in another city on her wedding day . An intelligent girl would never do that in her wedding days no matter what her bad intentions are , any person would be present in their marriage day and wouldn't go to another city to write exam...but they showed such a stupid thing..

Aarohi is a grey character. A lot of such people exist in real life.. in fact i don't know of people who can't balance between family, sisterly love and partners love...today's girl know what they want, how they want and how to balance things which akshara clearly lacks...she is indecisive... One moment thinks something, next moment does something else- totally confusing character, not standing on her ground

Kabhi family ko khush rakhna toh abhi ko reject kardo

Phir abhi aaru ki shaadi bhi karwa do and be okay with it

Phir family naam dubake suddenly uske dulhe ke saath hee bhaag jao at the end moment

And now madam wants a grand wedding

And she has accepted the music therapy department too without considering how others in birla family would react at such a gift.

Atleast aarohi is clear headed about what she wanted and went after it..

And you're right about the part to give aarohi so much importance in abhira's love story, there are other potential tracks...if abhira were the main leads from the start they should have given them a proper love story and not involved aarohi at all and if wanted to show a love triangle could have showed like gayu had a crush on kartik.. mostly whenever abhira name comes up aarohi also comes in our mind and major of the scenes are about aaru drama, even abhira keep on talking about Aarohi only at times 🙄🤷😂. So makers should really work on their really poor script..

I am just going say that Akshara never asked for the music department. If it is a gift from Abhi she isn't going to ask if Anand, Mahima, or Harshvardhan are okay with it because like any person who gets a gift you think that person who is gifting already had these talks. Akshara has no idea that Abhi didn’t ask or talked to his aunt, uncle, or father about this department.

Abhi is at fault for creating this issue at the workplace. But that is mostly due to how the Birlas in general take decisions without informing each other. Even Mahima pulled this stunt when she was team Akshara and announced her hiring into the Birla Hospital as the music therapist. She never informed Anand nor Harshvardhan.

I do not think Arohi is wrong for wanting to marry for Abhi for his name as that happens in real life. The issue is the way the writers protrayed it and had Arohi run off to get MD exam and eventually with her wedding being called off and then crying about it all when she never loved the guy in the first place is the issue. The writers then have her say I want to focus on my career but then they show her not doing anything but get involved another kaand. I can accept the MD kaand but this accident one is my limit because she is actively trying to cover up a potential hit and run where a being (human or animal) got hurt. That is a criminal offense. She is running away to try and save herself. The issue is the intent. If her character can do this even though I know full well the writers will show she did not do it so they can keep the character around, I shudder to think what crazy thing the writers will try to have Arohi do and suddenly make it okay. Like will Arohi physically hurt her sister? Runaway while her sister gets assaulted? Will she leave Akshara’s child to be kidnapped?

That's the problem..makers are making aarohi create kaands at the cost of the leads

Gonekas have been shown unable to balance the care and concern between the two sisters. I agree poor Kairav has had just as much trauma but he hardly gets any screen space about his issues nor does Vansh.

I do think there is some whitewashing going on with Arohi. Yes, she had an accident but the whitewahing part is that it won't be her that hit Manjari. Writers always giv Arohi a given free pass because she can defend herself by saying I was scared and I was not thinking right so all this happened I didn't mean to hit anyone. But she washed the car to remove any evidence and then went back to the scene of the crime to try and make sure nothing could connect her back to the incident. That is the issue I have with the writers. They will continue this cycle of Arohi getting involved in sitautions where she will always make the wrong choice for self preservation reasons but the circumstances will be as such that she is somewhat wrong but she is somehow always able to defend herself for the wrong choices she is making.

Also let’s not forget, she knew Akshara and Abhi had feelings for each other yet she blackmailed and manipulated Akshu to back off so she can achieve her desires and when destiny brought the lovers together again she can’t digest it…

But unfortunately makers included akshara too in this accident of manjari..so the blame is going to be shared between aarohi and akshara ..the makers should've made only responsible for it and keep akshara out of this mess

That's the problem..makers are making aarohi create kaands at the cost of the leads

Akshara being involved in the kaand doesn't exonerate Aarohi. Aarohi's choices are her own. What Aarohi is responsible for is different than Akshara so what they'll be blamed for are different things. Even if Akshara wasn't involved, she would've protected Aarohi for a bit considering that's what she's always done.

For me, Akshara's involvement solidified a few things:

1. She's not a good therapist cause it is her professional and personal responsibility to make Aarohi's dangerous and callous consumption of drugs known to someone.
2. She's not the best sister either cause a good sibling teaches the others, corrects them, and helps them grow. Not blind idolization of a sibling. To be fair, Aarohi is a worse sister so...

Moreover, I just think the way they've handled the accident is terrible. They're involving self-harm, overdose, and like behaviours without addressing them or recognizing how serious of an issue they are. The makers are focusing on this 3A triangle instead which cannot be more ridiculous. Akshara and Aarohi (Aarohi more so, before anyone points that out) need professional help. They have years of trauma and parental negligence (thanks Goenka's) that is manifesting in these behaviours (Aarohi's kaands and Akshara's panic attacks). It needs to be addressed.

Aarohi is a victim and an abuser. Those two are connected but it doesn't excuse either. Regardless, the victim in her needs to get addressed and healed, while the abuser needs to get corrected and face the repercussions.

Yeh Rishta's biggest problem is it's legacy and the producers obsession of following certain protocols.

For example whitewashing irrevocable misdeeds of certain characters.

They have forgotten that in S2 before the butchering actually happened, the leads story has a proper foundation. Therefore Mihir, Vedika or anyone trying separate them did not last for long

Here the foundation itself is shaky, love at first sight, ridiculous MUs, no serious conversations.

The whitewashing started right since Abhimanyu decided to get married to Aarohi. She got jilted.

History is repeating herself. In Yrhpk, Kuhu's taunts and blunders were ignored because she was rejected by the groom's mother. Meenakshi Rajvansh switched proposals with an intent of breaking the alliances. Kuhu's fanbase increased on the basis of sympathy.

Later on Kunal and Kuhu got married prior to the leads but the girl was miserable as her husband took time to accept the relationship.

From a lay person's POV Kuhu became a victim and her life wasn't smooth due to Mishti.

The actress also did lot of kaands to increase her fanbase. After the pandemic Rajan Uncle along with Sitara Maa pulled the plug and brought Anupama.

All this was done because Yrhpk never got the trps which were desired by the PH.

When tracks are written exclusively for 3rd angles, supporting cast without a proper build up or used to boost trps at the cost of the leads then the show will fall flat.

Garima by now should know that what worked for Kaira won't work on their kids.

The card pooja is an example where the trps fell due to extremely shoddy writing.

If the makers don't exercise damage control then whitewashing Aarohi will take the same path of khud ke paon par kulhadi marna.

I genuinely don't understand this concept of whitewashing her by having someone else hit Manjari. How does not hitting Manjari make things better for Aarohi. It shouldn't matter who she hit or didn't hit. What she did was a legal offence that could've endangered many lives. In my opinion, if that's the blood of an animal, it's still as bad because that is, in effect, an innocent life. What she is, is lucky. Moreover, the disrespect she's shown towards human life koi maara toh nahi is still terrible.
