Intriguing Start Gives Way to Toxic Family Dynamics and Troubling Themes"
18 February 2024
At first, the series gripped me with its intriguing storyline, but as it progressed, it became increasingly toxic to watch. The portrayal of a wealthy family constantly subjecting their daughter-in-law to verbal and emotional abuse, forcing her to continually prove her innocence, is disturbing. Seerat's shameless pursuit of her brother-in-law reinforces troubling themes, normalizing inappropriate relationships within the family. The absence of a functioning family unit built on love, peace, and good values is glaring. Missing an episode is less stressful, as it means avoiding scenes of Seerat drugging her sister for her husband's affection or a mother-in-law encouraging a love triangle.

The character development is perplexing; Angaad, supposedly a successful businessman, lacks the backbone to set boundaries with Seerat yet readily dismisses Sahiba from his room for daring to disagree with him.

While I appreciate the actors' performances, I'm left questioning the direction of the story. Will villains like Seerat and Gary continue to thrive while Sahiba and Keerat suffer? Is the series heading towards a grim future where the main cast faces further torment, leading to another generational leap marked by more abuse and suffering? I am amazed Seerat was portrayed as a clueless woman; she only understood make-up, but now she is busy masterminding kidnapping stints. She surely has no common sense; she can't leave her brother-in-law alone (love professions and banana pancakes ), but she masterminds kidnapping; its too unrealistic. What makes it cringeworthy is the same narrative: Ghum Hai Kisi Ke Pyaar Mein sister-in-law shamelessly pursuing a brother-in-law. That theme is troubling.

Season 1

The show was watchable . It portrayed weird ideologies a sister-in-law(Phakhi) who is in love with his brother in-law (Virat), in-laws that endorse the relationship. Sai and Virat had a great love story but the cliche ending of killing off the initial main cast and introducing a new generation from a change perspective it's not very engaging the transition causes shows to be abandoned considering that most long standing Indian shows kill of the main cast for some weird reason. Why though? The initial cast is wonderful, keep up the good work all the best in your new endeavours. Not sure about the leap.

I love the initial season. The cast is amazing the story is engaging. Thank you for the entertainment. Season 2 is not for me. The cast is great in their own right, but the direction of the show is not for me. To the season 1 cast and the director Thank you for the great work .All the best in your endeavors. I will enjoy reruns of season 1 cause season 2 is not for me. We failed to finish season 2 episodes maybe its the change in story line and cast change. Its great for someone who has not been following this show since the beginning. I would recommend that you watch the first season.........
