Enuf Already. Abhi Grow Brains. Pragya Grow Spine. To stand up for Yourselves

Enuf Already. Can we grow beyond Dumb and Dumber Drama

Enuf Already. Can we have the three Stooges, Abhi, Aliya and Tanu shown backstage?

:( have to wait for 200 episodes. Already going mad with posting this much. Why dont I just concentrate on my work. Wish I had never laid eyes on the IF article on KKB 360 degree promotion results in terms of TRP. Ever since...I just fell in love with all characters. All of them are so blended in. I love all the characters including the vamps.

At this point, I would also love to watch Akash and Rachna story. Comeone just for Abhigya's Bhagya, we need not have Rachna and Suresh neglected. Yeah we have seen Rachna all standing up for her self-esteem. But She DID make a point in her neighbourhood and now in college about being a single mother. What's wrong to get back to a reformed husband. Akash in present shape does not look bad at all. Everyday I keep a hope for Rachna story...it keeps taking time...But I keep my hope.

Anyways, promise viewers and readers, when it is an ugly twist with illogical ramp up, I will bid bye like I am habitual about. I just cannot take ugly twists. I need only one cycle of Climax and Anti-climax. After that I make peace with the show into not watching out with heart but watching it like junk.

200 episodes will be 10 months. Hmmm! I may have to just wait until 120th episode for the pristine developments. LOL

I am now actually looking forward to the drama that exposes Aliya's real face to Abhi.  The seed was planted by Tanu in Aug 19th; Episode 91; in Aliya's mind. As shown in the precap. Aliya is getting highly insecure. Now the point of Bhagya will be where Abhi will stick to marriage just to correct the wrong started by Aliya. This is what I feel about Puliya wedding. Tanu needed a reception and an accident to be get emotionally distant from Abhi. Seems Aliya too is going to have a Sangeet and an accident to get at some place lower in value than she has today in Abhi's eyes.

Point is I am more tempted to believe in Abhi's goodness; which is not just my assessment, but also as assessed by Pragya about him. She had said to him, Aap bahut galat kar rahen hain...sabse zyaada aapko hi dard hoga.  What made Pragya see it, I dont know. But if our soap heroine has seen it, I would rather believe it and think that our soap hero is going to develop inner eyes and see something not right heart-wise with Aliya. That does not mean that he is not gonna support Aliya. 

I guess he might become a wall between Aliya and Pragya and her family. Will he?!!!  Who knows, Aliya's insecurity will also be upon the fact that Purab caught her red handed and she would think, before Purab exposes her, "let me slander him". Don't know why I feel, Purab might be trapped into leaving the marriage by Aliya herself, just so that Aliya can avenge herself on Pragya.

Abhi's fault is the biggest of all. Far exceeding Aliya's or Tanu's.  That is why I feel, Abhi will need moral support and that shall be provided by Pragya. In Episode 91 on 19th August 2014, there was a foreboding already on that matter. Aliya and Pragya stupidly went for the dress drama. Aliya on some excuse made Pragya believe her and Pragya on some pretext went to accomplish the challenge of wearing the short dress. As expected, Daadi was angry, Pragya saved by Abhi and yet when everything is out, Daadi looks at him accusatorily and warns him of his hand in the matter. Abhi seriously thinks...So whoever is responsible, I am the one who is going to get punished.

Today, this looks funny and is comic relief. Tomorrow, this is not going to be funny anymore and we would all start looking for tragic relief for few laughs. Abhi not only blamed by elders, he himself is going to come hard on himself. In that situation, where he would isolate himself, when unasked; Pragya comes to support him (understanding his situation), their love is going to be strengthened.  Under  what circumstances, we do not know. If they are in love, they can go on being separated by circumstances for a while. What is the Bhagya's role here? we have to see.

Likewise, about how Abhi can hurt Pragya?

Episode 91 on 19th August 2014 was a very cute and enjoyable episode. Full of fun and laughter.

But the underscoring highlight was Abhi's playing with Pragya through arousing jealous feelings.

Hmmm!!! Since when this is becoming fun for him?  Happy that the teacher chashmish who always mocks or ridicules him for being brainless or his appearance or his singing style, has actually feelings for him??????

FB to Drunken Spree...Why would a drunk Abhi feel bad that Pragya was singling out his kisses to Tanu?  So he was not feeling bad for her saying it out, he was feeling for the fact that he cared for her feelings... thinking that Pragya might be feeling bad that he wont kiss her ever? Hmmm!!!

Presently Pragya trusts Abhi for his transparency and his consistent behavior. She cannot stand Tanu, in a rational sense that happy marriage semblance does not need a third wheel between spouses. But there is an irrational side of her that does not want Tanu anywhere near her husband. This side is a strong sense of personal dignity that Pragya has for herself. She did not accept Suresh when she found out he loves Bulbul. Broke the engagement. Now Bhagyavash, she is married to Abhi and is his wife. And as wife, she cannot see Tanu usurping her right. Like she said "Hisaab ki pakki hoon main".   Because, in her personal accounts, Abhi has given her every reason why he would like to torture her and she accepted it to save her mommy and sister. Very concerned but selfish reasons. But the balance she has is rescue for torture. Now the other side of her marriage, if there was no MU, she has a problem in the form of Tanu. And she has already started dealing with her 1) by negating her at face value as outsider 2) by showing disapproval of her presence to her husband where it matters to her, his family and her family.

So basically Pragya has reigned in her marriage.

She just needs to find love in the marriage. And sooner than later she is gonna find it from Abhi.

So what can hurt her is when 

1. Abhi goes back to Tanu for some lame reason
2. Abhi to demean her sense of dignity in some way. Probably doubt her love for him...
3. Abhi to lessen attention on her...cant say how it would even happen, but even one instance of neglect from Abhi is gonna hurt Pragya especially after they may have acked their love for each other.

All this is gonna happen, if they start communicating less and less, in a degree noticeable in contrast to present times communicating with each other.

Why was Abhi hitting Puneet? I mean Puneet didn't say anything vulgar or wrong sounding. He just said that Tannu's friend told me that Tannu was calling me to this room.

Thats the point.

To his green eyes, Tanu was dancing very closely with Puneet. And to his green eyes, a guy coming running after Tanu is all committing an outrageous act. Who is even kidding!! Possessive much just for what he thinks he is.  One truth of character played out there. His EGO gets HURT everytime SOMEONE NEGLECTS HIM or goes against his word. EGO what it was...spilling everywhere. He came back to Tanu into that room...because per his green eyes, Tanu was making him jealous and hence that sorry. I am least bothered with his making up with Tanu scene...because yesterday itself, I was not 100% sold on his anger on Tanu. That scene just put me into haze, then why he is playing around with Pragya.

Now all of this just points to one thing. He needs big time fan following. Pragya is giving him too much attention, hence his softness.  I made one post earlier...Abhi and his wont for Adulation. That is what it is.

All short tempered people don't go hitting around people. Short-temper is not a big character flaw. Short temperence becomes dangerous when mixed with brainless reaction.  Ofcourse this is a perfect contrast to the sane and brainy heroine...yet someone is bound to get hurt at some point.

What it also serves as dramatic infusion, is that pain needs to get added for the heroine for having to be sacrificial when she deserves really something better. So what they are also showing is that Bhagya has not at all been rosy, though she does not expect much and tries to adjust with the minimum she gets.

This is going in the direction of Elinor of Sense and Sensibility where Edward really does not much deserve Elinor truthfully. This is also going in the direction of Tamil Movie make of S&S adaptation Kandukondain Kandukondain. Tabu plays the role of Elinor. And there we have Ajit kumar as Edward, but he is so much more improved than Edward and would resemble Abhi as he dreams of becoming a Film director which he becomes.  KK was much more beautifully rendered. The way Tabu weeps towards the end, it becomes such a poetic justice. She earns her merit, her worth fighting tooth an nail in those tears, how someone she loved may have presumed her to be unlucky. Well its not the case, but she makes her point.  And this I am going to wish to see from Pragya, asking her mother, Abhi why they forced her into a marriage.  This is what Abhi drama today raises an expectation from Pragya today and hence that need for half of KKB crowd asking her to pack up her bags and leave.

Well Abhi has two nearly good yellings from Pragya. Its upto him again to open his brains. Add the drunken bit of confession, he should grow antennae. But who cares if he doesnt grow. We are not even bothered on that point.  We are bothered on him hitting people and his tremendous ego.

1) Pragya says "Yes I love Purab" - probably on reception night. Abhi counters her saying you are lying. You are not capable of loving anyone.

2) Pragya says "No I dont love Purab" when Purab and Aliya's marriage is fixed and they have argument when she asks him to have it cancelled. Abhi counters her saying, "yeah why would you love him".

Add the drunken bit. "You are wrong in understanding. ...I am not the girl that Purab loves". - well lets forget that as it was just something one can ignore or not ignore. Choice.

Basically Abhi has "apni moohn miyaan mithhu" syndrome. He loves what he says, thinks and feels. He expects a following of the same chain of thought. Abhi has terrible ego. Ego that a DoubleBattery types Suresh is talking sense. That Chashmish gives him her piece of mind. That Purab could dare to go against a commitment made to him. That Tanu refused him for marriage. That Tanu doubted him about his goodness&protective care. Each of his anger and bullying is about someone hurting his ego.  However, was that not exactly the reason why Daadi got him married to Pragya? She wanted him to be grounded. These ugly consequences of his ego need to get spilled for more drama to occur. But everytime it happens, he would need a reprimand.

Hence our reaction. As audience, we only put our hope in Pragya to get this righted.

Will Pragya do what we expect of her?

At this pace of her goodness, gullibility and being a sacrificial lamb in present mode that has caught the fancy of Arora sisters, I doubt it. The writers are making the soap heroine fall for the hero. To add a heart-break. God! if this is the route it will take, I will bid bye. I watch soaps to have fun. But I never take crap, especially from the protagonists. Yes. Ugh Ugh Ugh, when a Soap Heroine cannot defend her innocent Brother beaten up in such a morally disparaging manner. That leads us to assess why Pragya is all smiles in the new August 19th promo. Didn't she have a heartbreak with Suresh, why she believes people so easily?!!!!! I am seriously not watching unless one or other something redeeming happens. And this girl seriously needs to grow spine.

To quote one of my friends words. She watches the show and writes over India Forums. Her Profile name is Lkb79.
"She's way too trusting to any guy who pays her even the tiniest regard. That is one of her weaknesses, like ego is Abhi's. Perhaps one day we will understand why she has this issue but for now it's consistent to her character. Our only hope is Pragya grows a spine in time of the reveal/wedding. She's been foolish in many ways but she has been fairly good about standing up to Abhi and company within the confines of her own foolishness to carry on this time-limited charade. Somehow I don't think she will take it well when the sibling duo gang up on her, should Purab flee or not show up. But then again, I believed she would stand up for her brother and she doesn't. Instead she believes her husband who has misled her at every turn. It's too frustrating when soaps geared toward women don't have consistently strong female characters. "
