Sam's character is going down the drain as time is passing by. She has turned a blind eye to everything that's going around her and she herself is lost in her own dream world and lala land đI'll start from few facts where I wanted Sam to realize where she went wrong and why she went wrong:
1. Sam falling for Arjun: After reading the updates, it appears that Sam started feeling for Arjun the very first day they met. She was hurt by her mom and hence being shattered, she found a friend in Arjun. Don't know why she dint find the same in Neil's company.
She then was attracted by Arjun's charm and his words that she forgot her pain. She dint ever feel that he doesn't love her and it doesn't appear that he ever made her feel this way. He only used to make her spend time with him whether the draping sari, the dance and their office meeting. Doing nice things for her was misunderstood by her as love where she went wrong.
Also, when she burnt the sari in the fire, any boy (whether or not he's in love) would get frustrated and insult her and hate her for that. Arjun never even scolded her for the same which should have made her suspicious. Even Neil scolded her for her misbehavior with that old man with regards to the balloons, but here Arjun's non-reaction dint make her doubt him even once? She has seen how rude Arjun is with Radhika and hence there should have been at least some doubt as to why this guy is goody goody with her all the time.
2. Sam ignoring Neil's feelings: Neil had confessed his love for Sam earlier but Sam dint believe him. When he said that he dint mean it, she just accepted it. Why will a guy tell a girl "I love you" for time pass? It should have raised a doubt in her mind but since she considers him a friend, she just ignored it and often kept hurting him unknowingly by confessing her love for Arjun.
Sam has never felt anything weird in Neil's behavior since then? Friends often understand when their other friend is sad and happy but only because Neil is hiding his emotions, Sam doesn't get to know he's upset? When Sam was feeling sad, Neil without her mentioning it knew she was upset but Sam doesn't show the same for him. When Neil refused to attend her party, she still dint understand and when her mom said that Neil wouldn't come with a low voice, that dint give her a hint again? Or may be she was so happy that she just couldn't feel Neil's pain?
3. Sam not able to see Arjun's feelings for Radhika: Sam dint once doubt Arjun feeling for Radhika even though he claimed he dint like Radhika before and on the engagement day as well. Suddenly he feels so much for Radhika that he tried to defend her and made her break up with Saral doesn't appear weird? Even Neil could see it as something fishy but Sam dint confront Arjun as to how he became Radhika's friend. No jealousy and no insecurity within Sam as she trust Arjun and Rads to any extent?
4. Sam becoming a hurdle for Manya: I don't know whom to blame here as Sam doesn't even see her own sister's feelings. She knew Many was sitting and chatting with Neil and she just spilled coffee and took away Neil, leaving her sister alone. She doesn't seem to share a strong bond with her sister? She lost her brother and this should have made her close to her sister but there seems no connection between them.
That's the reason Manya doesn't like Sam as she is so close to Neil that she doesn't see or want to see her feelings. Poor Manya is becoming a psycho now and soon there'll come a time when Manya will confront Sam as to why she is trying to come in between her and Neil when Sam is getting married to Arjun and why is she taking her boy friend. Sam may take this as a joke then.
Sam doesn't even bother to see where Arjun is and hence he is free to eye Radhika which is somewhere Sam's ignorance and mistake. She is all the time only with Neil and when Neil matters so much to her, why does she fail to understand his feelings? She doesn't know anything? Also, it should have been Sam who should have consoled Radhika after her broken engagement and she should have given her courage. Radhika had done a lot to help Sam and now when it's Sam's turn, she dint even talk to her but was more interested in her sangeet dance.
First Sam doesn't know whether Arjun loves her or hates her. She doesn't know Neil loves her. She doesn't know Arjun is eyeing Radhika. She doesn't know Nandini's evil plans. She doesn't know Manya's craziness for Neil. It will also be Neil who will feel Manya is crazy for him.
How can a girl be so ignorant about what's going on around her. Now there are 6 bombs waiting to explode on Sam and the moment one bomb explodes, she'll be buried inside the earth đđ. She doesn't seem to have the capability to judge anyone and hence this is going to bring her downfall soon.
If I just ignore all 4 points mentioned above, she is a good girl but too ignorant. If a girl is s ignorant, she can be broken down anyday. Currently I just don't like a character to be so much dumb and blind. Atleast something should make her doubt someone. Atleast someone. Now only one character seems sensible (though evil) and that's Nandini. She knows who is thinking what and for him and it won't take her a minute to guess Neil loves Sam. Sorry Sam, but I'm not able to connect with your character at all. CVs are just doing a bad job in showing a girl of today to be so lost in herself and making her look dumb. đ„±
