Mahi is getting buried...

First of all, hi to everyone here, this is my first post on this forum and I am sorry that it is going to be a somewhat complaining thread. I normally don't do posting in these threads or forums, but I saw that this forum is very active and many people discuss about this show regularly it seems.

Anyways, I have been watching Haar Jeet since epi 1 and I was totally intrigued. Initially, the show was about 2 main characters- Ishu and Mahi, with almost equal focus on both of them. But later the show diverted more towards Ishita and now with the grown up characters it is almost totally dominated by Ishita. I mean for the past few episodes, about 80-90% of the time was devoted to her and Sahil and the rest to all the other characters. I have got no problem with that, but what's then the point of portraying Mahi as another main character of the show ??

Please don't think that I have any problem with Ishu, (like I said I have been following this show since epi. 1 and like both the girls) what I have problem with is the writers. You see, in any story, when you are projecting some guys and girls as to be the main or lead characters of your show, then needless to say many people are going to get glued with one of them more than others, which may depend upon their choice, culture, their own lifestyle, experiences and other such things. It is just like one person like blue and the other one like red more. In fact it is the reason why we watch shows, to see how our favourite character develops. For example, with me, in case of Haar Jeet though I like both the girls but was always intrigued more with Mahi's character.

Coming back to the point, as far as the lead characters go, I believe it is unfair on the part of writers to bury one of them just to project another. And this is what exactly happens with many such shows today and Haar Jeet is, it seems, following that same route. And I am not saying that just within the context of more air-time devoted to Ishu. You see, it is one thing to portray "Ishita as a very beautiful girl" (which she is) but it is totally different to constantly portray "Ishita is more beautiful than Mahika" (though I believe the other way, but thats not the point of this thread).

I hope fans of this show here get what I am trying to say and will come up with their own opinions, and by the way I am also sorry for this long rant :-)...

hai dear..welcum to the forum...n plz do participate more...since u r watching this show frm day 1 u can help us in understanding the show further... n hai...i'm sana..like sammy saidi'm also a follower of this show after leap...so me too like both the characters mahi n ishu...n the show is haar jeet...two dimensions...mahi n ishu...ct's showing one as a bit negative...and the other as the extream of goodness..and i don't think mahi is getting buried here for ishu..both have equal importance..now the story revolved around ishu - sahil story n i think it's result gonna give more space for mahi's role...n as sammy said mahi is the one who always praises ishu's beauty...n noother said tht ishu is more beautiful than mahi...i like heena's acting n this show..keep participating n looking forward to read more from ur side...

thank you Sammy and Sana for sharing your opinions...I really hope that you 2 are right, but I don't have much faith with the writers of this show. Infact, the entire theme of this show has somewhat changed. With the addition of Sahil, the story has no doubt lot more potential, but the writers are turning the main theme into that same love affair between a boy and a girl or that same love triangle which so many shows today are filled with. And in the process, just like those other shows, they will bury few characters of the show. In this case, it is with Mahi. I think, I know what is in store for her, she will continue to get less and less air time, soon marry, and then soon will become mom.

This story had so much potential, just over a month ago, both the kids did so much wonderful job and now all of a sudden, both are going to get married!! I mean, the writers could have done more with the story by exploiting the wonderful chemistry between the girls in their teenage, college years. I hope, they would dump the enitre marriage angle for both of them.

valid point dear...agree with u😊
i'm also following this show after the leap...hav seen some scenes before leap and i must say ..the show was having lot of freshness n potential at the beginning...

now its being ruined...the same old love triangle... one sis being negative n other extremely positive...at least they could have shown two male leads...two different love stories...n yeah college-teenage stuffs n all😉...thats far better n entertaining than this🤢

agree with sammy n sana dii... Mahi is obviously other female lead...n i'm sure shez gonna get lot of screen space in the coming episodes...dont worry dear😊

but still..it wud have been better if they had given two male leads...there wud have been enough screen space for all!!

by the way, i'm reshma...do continue to share ur views dear😊
hope cvs will give us something better in the coming episodes😕 *fingers crossed*

Hi Welcome to the forum dear and look forward to loads of discussion. I am Vidya and have joined after the leap. But have seen most of the previous episodes to understand the characters.

hi bellie welcome to the forum. i am simran and i have been watching only after the leap.

thank you Vidya, Reshma and Simran for sharing your opinions :-)...

@Simran, maybe you are right, maybe that is the reason why they are getting more screen space...i was just worried that they may dump Mahi's character...I would have done the same rant lol, if they would have done it with Ishu. Because there are lots of shows which do exactly that same thing. Those who have watched Uttaran, even the few early episodes will know what I am trying to say, writers of that show totally and unnecessarily buried one girl to project the other...
