I have been a silence watcher over the forum for a period of time now...but been watching ITV serials all my life.
I recently started watching YRKKH when the separation started. It got me intrigued and Abhi/Akshara gave me Anurag/Prerna feels. (Even though Prerna stopped thinking or caring about Anurag and I really really hope that Akshara doesn't, she has to realize and stand up for who she really loves and the father of her child) he was traumatised, shocked and destroyed when all that Neil episode happened... and they need to talk about that and Abhi is over that.... he was wrong for not standing up for her and he apologised... she refused which was soooo good and satisfying to watch because that keeps their relationship/love/anger/narazghi alive. But what else can he do....people want him to die and they say that he doesn't deserve Akshara for the way he treated her... it is all on the writers... and I love Akshara and she deserve all the respect and love... but in this universe all that matters is Abhi/Akshu love... so if they are together nothing else matters apparently.
Okay, Abhi treated her badly...but that is a normal (but unacceptable) behaviour from people specifically men ... In that situation specifically if you are an ITV male lead... more so in Balaji shows but ... YRKKH is giving Balaji a competition in this out of the world love/passion/obsession/blame game story.
Abhi is portrayed like old school male characters... he has been caring/loving/respectful and supportive throughout... but this was all done because the story demanded it.
Anyway... I am surprised..or better shocked to see people wanting/having realistic expectations from an ITV serial.
Whenever I want to escape reality and get into an unrealistic and lovey/dovey kind of feeling I start watching Indian serials and only if I like the main leads/their chemistry... and I Love love love how obsessive Abhi is getting over Akshu.
I wouldn't be watching if Abhi didn't care about Akshu anymore or if she completely forgot about him... I will stop watching because that would be just too realistic and boring.
And India has owned so much of western culture that I am surprised how people are surprised and not accepting how male lead wants to get back together with the female lead... marriage or no marriage...they are soul mates and that is how it is supposed to be...that is what we see in USA tv shows... and you cannot say it doesn't happen in India or anywhere else in Asia...because it does...people do love each other despite marrying others...and long for each other and there are Extra maritial affairs as well...so it is all very realistic...even though that is not where YRKKH is headed...we all know Akshara will never...
Maybe not for the classic YRKKH audience but Duniya main sab kuch ho raha hai...Morally wrong things happen everywhere.
Nothing is surprising or unrealistic other than great grandparents looking so young or immortal.
I love and support Abhimanyu because in the end he only does what the writers want him to do... I am just happy his character is not revolving around Ruhi anymore even though she is lovely... and I want Ruhi to realize that Akshara is the most important person in her Poppy's life...so blaming the characters doesn't really make sense.
If Abhi can go mad and turn 360 degrees because his brother died and he lost his twins....(that didn't actually made sense because Akshara wanted them more than he did... but again nothing does on ITV) so can Abhinav Jee turn 360 degrees when he gets to experience Abhi/Akshu 's love ... why is that so hard to believe. People change in life and it is always over stupid and non reasonable reasons that people turn good or bad...there is a very fine line for someone to turn bad or grey. Abhinav getting all villainous for the fear of losing Akshara and Abhir is totally understandable... that will be his reason of turning bad just as Abhimanyu did, when his bro died and he stopped caring and forgot everything he had for Akshara... and again it all goes back to the writers.
All the characters are mere pawns in the writers hands.
