This show has seen 2 of the biggest losers as the leads. Not just Anupama, I feel that Anuj is also a loser. When Gaurav Khanna entered the show as "Anuj Kapadia", people were hoping to see Anupama's journey from a simple house wife to becoming something (Of course after completing her education), but the fans were disappointed.
Now discussing about the 2 losers as the leads.
Anupama : Vanraj and his mother Leela deserve to be blamed for the failure of her 1st wedding. Vanraj had always felt that Anupama was not upto his standards. Anupama was fired from her teacher's job which she had got via a reference. After divorce, Anupama was seen living with her toxic ex husband and his current wife under the same roof. This gave a chance for Rakhi ji to taunt Anupama. In reality, any woman who has divorced her husband will not live with him and his current wife under the same roof. Anupama should have rejected to stay in the Shah house when Hasmukh splits the Shah House and gives a portion to Anupama for living. She had lost her self respect by cooking in the "Phatichar Leela Cafe". Vanraj should have got a decent job rather than working in the "Phatichar Leela Cafe". And the worst part is that "Phatichar Leela Cafe" and "Anupama Dance Academy" were close to each other. She had never stood up for her rights and allowed the Shah House to treat her as a maid and a slave. She had turned old Kinjal to "Anupama 2.0" and had failed as a mother of 3 kids.
Anupama herself deserves to be blamed for the failure of her 2nd wedding. Anupama handled the situation maturely when Anuj had confessed his love for Anupama in the heat of the moment (Thanks to Vanraj) by telling that she can only be a good friend to Anuj. Anupama did not hide any thing from Anuj about her life. If she did not want to cut all ties with her toxic Shah family, why did she propose to marry Anuj by dancing on the stage. She was an empowered woman after marrying Anuj and had all the resources to complete her education and build a career for herself. But Anupama was more interested in solving the never ending problems of Shah family. Anuj even gifts the KE, KM to Anupama and makes her the signing authority even though she did not deserve it. GK Kaka could have been a better choice for the signing authority of KE. Anupama should not have married Anuj if she wanted to spoon feed her grown up kids.
Anuj : Anuj meets Anupama in the College Reunion Party (Batch of 1995) after 26 long years. But the makers instead of showing a more mature friendship between Anuj and Anupama, butchered Anuj's character by showing him as a lover boy and as a husband material. Anuj had failed to prevent Malavika from going to Vanraj's trap even though he was aware of Vanraj's malicious intentions. Vanraj had tried to snatch the KE from Anuj by manipulating Malavika (Anuj's sister). Anuj had forced the Kapadia's to dance to Anupama's tunes. But Anupama did not really love Anuj. If his decision to marry Anupama was a stupid 1, even more stupid decision was adopting Aadhya (Anupama should have said NO to adoption). He should have waited for at least 1 year before adoption. If Anuj had really wanted to marry Anupama, he should have done that 26 years before, not when
01. She had divorced Vanraj.
02. She was a mother of 3 kids (Toshu and Pakhi were spoilt brats and only Samar was the decent child)
03. She was about become a grand mother to 1 (Kinjal was pregnant with Pari)
In 1 of the episode, Hasmukh goes missing and Leela holds Anuj responsible for this. Leela accuses Anuj of not giving her respect and finally Anuj loses his patience with the Shah family. Anuj decides that he would be bothered about his family and his business. Anuj had to plead with Anupama to turn her focus towards him and Aadhya. But she had failed to shed her baggage with the toxic Shah's. Anuj loses all his patience and lashes out at Anupama (On the day of car accident) for her careless attitude of "Taking her married life for granted". Instead of accepting her faults, Anupama tears her family pic and more shockingly breaks her wedding with Anuj. Anuj has suffered a lot after marrying Anupama. Anuj had to sell his KE after Anupama left him and Aadhya alone.
Anupama could not become an empowered woman after marrying Anuj. The only empowered woman in this show is Rakhi Ji (Rakhi Dave) who is my favourite character in this show. Had Anuj been the elder sibling of Kinjal, Rakhi Ji (Rakhi Dave) would have banished both him and Anupama from the "Dave Mansion" for getting married.
Feel free to add any points that I have missed.
