Keep Calm & Watch EDKV

I am back because the negativity on this forum has reached interesting heights, and the fact that people are messaging Sony about changing the story line without even giving this track a chance is disheartening.

I really don't think messaging Sony is a good idea, Sony doesn't promote EDKV enough anyways and with it's TRPs the way they are doing things like this is just going to result in a shorter run for EDKV, especially if they don't consider the fact that it is there most popular show online! EDKV isn't a show that the TRP aunties watch at home, but rather something a lot of international fans, especially young ones, watch online.

Anyways, coming to Aditya. Can everyone just take a deep breath and relax? Remember when everyone freaked out about Urvashi and nothing happened? We thought there was going to be a long engagement track but it didn't happen?

Aditya is going to HELP ShraMan, not hinder them. There is no way that Suman is going to fall for him or anything like that. Suman has loved Shravan for a long time, she says it is her dream to tell Shravan that she has waited for him and that she loves him.

Aditya is not the problem here. Rather, he is going to be the solution to ShraMan's problems because Shravan is going to feel threatened and not back down. Shravan right now is in the mindset that Suman is not someone he should want in his life and Aditya is going to challenge that and he's going to show Shravan that if he doesn't work for Suman someone else will come and sweep her off her feet.

Shravan needs to be threatened like that right now. Remember how Shravan acted about Varma/Googlu/Jeevan/Jairaj? He gets so jealous and this jealousy will be what pushes him towards Sumo. Imagine how closely Shravan is going to hover around Sumo now due to his jealousy, it's going to bring you the scenes you want because Shravan knows that he loves Sumo and he is going to be really possessive. Especially since Suman is trying to avoid him and Aditya seems like he's going to stick to Suman like glue, Shravan is going to be so threatened that he's going to act on his feelings!

Jealousy tracks always work in the favour of the lead couple, they push them that extra step. Also, I know there are a lot of IPKKND fans here, remember NK? He was a catalyst. I haven't watched many other desi shows, but in most of the shows I've watched the jealousy factor always helps.

Also, I feel like this is the same Aditya that is Ahuja's son, thus Nirmala is his legal guardian, the CVs probably brought him in so Nirmala can come back. And Nirmala is the solution to all of ShraMan's problems. The writers for this show never do anything without reason and there is a reason behind this too. Also, every single track that we freaked out about has ended up bringing ShraMan closer and this one is going to be no different.

In the past whenever people have forced the writers to change their track, it has ended in disappointment. This story is more theirs than yours and they have the right to show what they want to show. If you can't handle a certain track take a break from it and come back. You wouldn't tell an author to change their story, or a doctor to change their way of working.

So, just give this track a try. You just saw this guy's face, he's said about two sentences and everyone has decided to abandon ship, how can you judge something before it even plays out?!

Edit: Also, regarding the negativity around Suman's behaviour - she is right in where she is coming from. You have to remember how her character has been, she feels like a burden to her family, she owes them money, she feels like people have been giving things to her and she hates that. Remember during the Khosla track when she told Shravan to not fight the case because of his family, she said that she is burdened with "ehsaans" and she can't ever repay back something like this.

Also, succumbing to everything the Malhotras ask is what the modern day dowry is, she's doing everything she can to make her sister's wedding go smoothly. She won't accept money from the Malhotras and she's right. Kamini/Ramnath are not offering her money to help, they're mocking her status - if they really wanted to "help" they would have been adamant that the marriage be split 50-50 from day one.

Shravan wants to help because he is like a part of the Tiwari Family, he's grown up there. But he doesn't realize what he's asking - even Nanu would refuse his help. Suman thinks there is no future for them, so why would she accept money from him?!

and you dont think this track is already a dissapointment. i dont think anyone is being negative - people need to relax and understand if the show is going downhill, we are allowed to comment. we cant just be like - omg this is amazing when there is no story.

Thank you so so so so so so so much for this much needed post! You said everything I wanted to

Just commented on another thread about the same thing. Let's wait for the track to unfold. I simply can't comprehend what the hurry is all about. Yes we want Shraman scenes but without knowing whether this new guy is positive or negative or infact he may be neutral who knows why are we panicking.
Relax everyone !

Thank you for this post it was needed, guys please, messaging Sony is really not a good idea, enjoy the show, I am sure there is a lot to come !

to each his own but stoping people from expressing themselves is not a fair game either. again, i am frustrated with this track and appreciate you as a writer but do not agree with your post or comment before. and clearly sumo is going to use him to annoy shravan more which honestly is not needed - her character has been butchered a lot - self respecting, independent women do not make false promises (1) or insult others (2)

better they wrap this show up with a bit of redemption left than stretch it to no end.

I am not stopping anyone from expressing their opinion, you're free to disagree with me. I am just expressing that everyone should at least give the track a try. The guy has been on screen for a mere five minutes and we're already assuming that the show is going downhill.

I am a little annoyed with the current situation between ShraMan as well. But I personally think that both of them are right and wrong in where they are coming from. I don't think Suman is preaching about herself respect unnecessarily. I would never take money from anyone if I was in her situation. Because taking money from the Malhotras like this is an attack at her, if the Malhotras were actually concerned with the wedding rather than their status they would have been adamant about splitting costs equally. I think Suman is completely right in not agreeing to everything they ask because that's what leads to problems in the long run. This is a real problem, she's trying to stay within her limits and budget because she's being real to who she is, giving into Kamini's wishes once means that it will always be expected and that's going to be really tough for the Tiwaris. And her behaviour towards Shravan is interesting to me, she is being mean to him but Shravan is no better. He is not understanding where she is coming from and he is attacking her as well. To me, no one is right in this battle.

But I guess this where we should agree to disagree and watch the show play out!

Guys, this track is such a disappointment. Do you all really like the way things have been progressing since the Nirmala incident? Since then everyone has been saying wait for the story to unfold. And I literally waited. Things just keep getting worse. And emailing Sony won't bring out a negative outcome at all. If Sony is aware of what we want, they will ask cvs to work accordingly. I don't think very many people from the EDKV team visit IF, so they don't know what the true feedback is. It's mixed, as opposed to positive that they're receding from only Twitter fans. They should know that there are a whole lot of people who are not happy with this track. And the only way to voice our opinion is going via Sony. Don't take this in a negative way. It's for the better. It will actually help and bring back EDKV on track. But at the end, it is up to you all. Obviously no one is being forced to email them. I'm just saying that it's not negative in any manner.

Dear you just wasted.you time and energy on this post.. Is aint gonna get into anyone's.head...

We are all ardent viewers of the show. I love this show...and that is precisely why I want it to be different from every other show currently being aired on Indian TV. However, the recent tracks have lacked logic, simplicity and finesse!
