So here's my two cents on the whole YRHPK and mishbir situation:
As a neutral viewer and mishbir fan, I am divided in to 2 minds:
1. I'm glad that Mishti has realised that Abir has pushed her enough, she has fallen hurt enough. I'm glad that Mishti has decided to back off from constantly trying to get Abir back, when Abir didn't show equal signs to fight. This also makes it interesting to finally see Abir will have to start from rock bottom scratch - he has not only broken Mishti's trust and heart full love, but in all this drama and MU he has fundamentally lost the friendship they had. So I'm excited to see Mishti give Abir an extra hard to time, in earning her trust and love (hopefully with the help of NANKO
).
BUT...
2. I'm also extremely disappointed and upset with writers/makers for stretching the fandom's hopes and pushing the characters so far away from their original soul.
a. the whole letter writing, letter exchange and letter burning and misunderstanding fiasco was very unnecessary (and illogically hilarious from Friday's episode
) Abir had already lashed out at Mishti at the market, he already warned/requested her to stay away from him and his family. His anger with Mishti for blurting out Kunal's truth to him, is justified. Kunal almost killed himself in guilt shock, so Abir's outburst in the market and Mishti is understandable. Sure he also misunderstood her words with Nannu, which only added fuel to the fire, but STILL the real Abir was still ready to give Mishti the benefit of the doubt - he KNEW Mishti would have a proper reason to say such a matter to Kunal. Something dire must have happened. But his anger and emotions took over his practical mind, which caused him to lash out at Mishti and Nannu. This I can somehow accept, it is realistic, common and understandable for our emotions to get a hold over our rational mind. Furthermore, Abir telling Mishti "they are the past...she should move on with Nishmish rishta" should have been enough for Mishti to back off. How many more times did she need to be rejected, for her to hit rock bottom and decide to finally give up?
That's why the extra letter writing, misunderstanding and Abir breaking her heart again, was just unnecessary for both Mishti and Abir. With Abir tearing and throwing the letter in front of her just like he did with their mishbir wedding invitation, was again heart-wrenching. The writers have deliberately pushed Abir to the worst end of the spectrum, after building up such an inspiring character, just to create drama for his struggle to win Mishti back. Instead Mishti should have let it go when Abir assumed what BP said and declared they are both the "past" and should move on. Then get Abir to learn Kunal's deed at the party from Kuku and so finally realise his mistake.
b. Although I believe mishbir separation was not required, but at least the break-up shouldn't have lasted this long. The leap now seems redundant. After more than 2 months Mishti "2.0" returns back with a hidden agenda to win Abir back. So for two months of heart break, she still believes in Abir's pyar and wants to get him back. fine great! I appreciate a strong-willed "never give up" attitude
I even accept and appreciate the post-leap episodes where the writers continuously showed us hints that Abir still longs to get back with Mishti obviously. They even gave hopes to Mishti, with signs that Abir gave her, he still loves her
Great awesome! Mishti was finally feeling some confidence with her plan to win back Abir. Even after the intense jungle sequence, where Abir finally gets some strength back to tell Kunal the truth and Mishti about their break-up - this was all good, I was onboard
c. In today's epi, Naanu finally flicked the big light bulb (actually huge tubelight) in his head to question Abir about Mishti and their break-up. IF naanu was soo concerned..where the hell was he for 2 months? Why didn't he interrogate Abir as soon as he broke the rishta?
(Remembering, when Abir 2.0 is painting at RV house in a earlier scene Naanu asks if he is ok, Abir replied/jokes that Naanu has been asking the same thing for the last 2 months, and Abir answers the same thing that "everything is awesome")
So for the last 2 months Naanu always knew or at least had hints that Abir was hiding something and that he was shielding his real feelings. Then why didn't he become the father figure Abir desperately needed, to get Abir to confess the real reason soon after mishbir broke up?
Naanu could have used the same intensity he uses now, to break Abir back then. Why wait so long?
I blame the writers as culprit = disappointed in the writing 100%
In short: the upcoming road for Abir to win Mishti's trust, love and BP/BM acceptance is definitely not an easy one. It's 100% a "kaaton bhare raastein", but hopefully with help of Naanu and especially Nanko!! Abir will be able able to get back his "pyaara sa ghar"
