We are all aboard our show's surrogacy train and it is moving at bullet speed.
Characters (and us) are swinging from one emotion to another with no breather and no stoppages.
And we still have no clue ki hum aakhir jaa kahan rahe hai?! 🤔
We have had two promos with surrogacy -
First one had Mishti begging Kuhu to be the surrogate, which made us all very upset for most of the track, ultimately to find out that it was misleading.
Second one has Abir arguing with BB about how nonsensical and hanikarak the idea of surrogacy is and his refusal to go ahead with it, which gives us some hope but only time will tell how misleading or accurate it was/is...
So now when the surrogacy is about to rear its ugly head in our show, how far do we think it is going to go and what is the ultimate destination of this surrogacy journey?
All of what they have shown so far, including everyone's sudden baccha bhajan 24x7 and Meenu's OTT crazy regressive behavior for asli waaris, alienating everyone and blackmailing Mishti, the resulting conflict of Abir & Meenu and Abir deciding to leave the house with Mishti - all, could have been shown with just Mishti's inability to bear children - so what exactly is the need to take it one step further to surrogacy?
So far in the track, we are at a point where it is BB v/s the Rest.
So I assume with surrogacy, the writers want the conflict to go beyond BB v/s the Rest and have the conflict among the Rest!? Ummmm... if so, how?
Meenu has already rejected adoption idea as per the precap. And we are yet to see how surrogacy comes to surface, but as per the latest spoiler, Meenu has done self harm to blackmail the family for surrogacy or remarriage or something.
Remarriage seems highly impossible, but surrogacy can go several different ways:
1.
The idea is proposed but Abir out-rightly rejects it like in the promo, stays firm and stops it from being explored further.
Abir then leaves the house with Mishti and we get MishBir house track
This is similar to no surrogacy at all and again ends up with BB v/s the Rest.
Surrogacy was then used just as a clickbait for the promo and well, we know now how spectacularly that has backfired 🤔
2.
Surrogacy gets explored in detail over many episodes and during that time it brings more dramatic equation changes than just BB v/s Rest.
Like Mishti v/s Kuhu again: but now every member having to pick sides, including the husbands and we get equation changes between the brothers and BP-BM and Varsha clashes
Surrogacy gets thwarted eventually, so no baccha but the damage is done and both the families get divided into 2 groups headed by the brothers.
3.
They really go ahead with full-fledged surrogacy and we get to see a crisscross baccha () - at least in the making (they only know what they want to do with it eventually).
In this case Kuhu's curse on Mishti comes true. She gets to be in the center with limelight by being the surrogate for MishBir's baccha with family showering their love, care and attention and Mishti gets to watch it from the corner.
And then what? More 9pm TRP tropes... Kuhu pregnant with MishBir baccha, some more drama, Mishti leaving the house - this time finally for self respect, MishBir separation somehow and Mishti also being pregnant - so not one but two-two bacchas, Memory loss or some other TRP crap that I refuse to think anymore.
Out of the 3, #1 is the best outcome for us - No baccha, brothers and rest of relations stay the same and we get MishBir out of the RV house to explore something other than the family dynamics! But we know this is too good to be true... dil behlane ke liye khayal accha hai Ghalib
Chances of #2 and #3 are much higher because this track also had sub-tracks of the sisters fight and family's conclusion re-affirming their beliefs that the sisters come together in time of need, then Jas-Varsha encouraging Kuhu to have a kid before Mishti and KuKu discussing about their own kid and also now with BB threatening of Abir's remarriage Jas-Varsha-Kuhu putting their fears of ill-treatment of Kunal and property issues aside and pledging their support to Mishti... so looks like the writers want to make it more than BB vs the Rest. And in that case #2 seems a little better than #3... as I hate the typical ITV drama of FL going away, giving birth to a kid alone or losing memory or reunion after 7 years and all.... uff, since when our show fell in the ITV TRP trap 😭
And... I just had an epiphany that Surrogacy is like the dementor's kiss to the fandom - the ultimate punishment (HP fans will understand). Whenever I enjoy anything in this track, the mention of baccha with the looming threat of surrogacy reminds me of this dementor scene from The Prisoner of Azkaban
I know this is too long and may seem little confusing... kya karoon - my thoughts are quite clear in my head, just having trouble expressing them
