With chicken-hearted and khota Sikka choosing to be brainwashed and manipulated by Lovely and Amayra to deny little Kulfi her rights yet again, the plot is moving round and round (cannot call it a merry-go-round) in the same abysmal spiral that has been repeated over and over and over again. The salient features of this downward spiral are the following:
1. Kulfi keeping on repeatedly making sacrifices to her own detriment and superhuman feats till the entire family --one by one-- is saved by her umpteen times, not only in this janam but in future lifetimes also
2. Kulfi's selfish family has no value for these sacrifices be it saving selfish Amyra's life by a dangerous bone marrow donation, or locating, rehabilitating Sikka from his memory loss through music therapy after his accident and bringing him home.
3. Yet despite having proved herself innumerable times to be an integral and important member of the Gill household, even Kulfi's most basic needs --that of a parent, for instance-- get sidelined repeatedly. Furthermore although Kulfi is always there for everyone, no one is there for her during her most vulnerable moments, when she is ill, in grave danger, or really alone, just needing emotional support.
4. The rest of the family members have taken after Sikka --spineless and helpless in the face of evil ploys, death threats, and other forms of dire manipulations. Sikka just sits and weeps; other family members look on helplessly. Gunjan had some force in her, and some ethics. Lets see what she does now that Kulfi has been publicly declared as her and Mohinder's daughter.
5. Besides have we not been here and done this already? After Kulfi's dramatic escape from the remand home, she was disowned by Sikka, who ordered her to go live with his brother, Mohendar. I am very glad that Kulfi rejected him at the time and ran away back to her remand home friends. At that time Amyra's sickness was the excuse for Sikka to deny his daughter; this time it will be something else. However the point is why does Sikka keep putting off his responsibility regarding Kulfi repeatedly?
6. Why is Lovely still around? Why have someone who has repeatedly attempted murder, threats, bribery, manipulation and lies to get what she wants is still allowed to stay in the Gill house and torture Kulfi? Also, can Amyra not be disciplined at all? What would happen if she did not get to have her way just once? Can Sikka ever be strong enough to resist Lovely and be the father to Amyra that she needs (not just the one she wants). Finally can we be strong enough to stop watching the serial till we get what we want in terms of a decent non-repeating plot?
Om shanti. Thank you for reading this. Comments welcome.
