Okay..I'm not here to justify the show or something, but..here's what I think of this entire Meghna-baby track.

I love it!

Yes. Before you go WHAAAT? Let's get into why I love it, shall we?

Even before the show has begun, we've known that Meghna has gray shades to her character (yes, it was informed.)

Phir when I saw her portrayal in the show, I have always been dubious of her. She's too...uber optimistic, kinda dreamy and kind of always khoyi khoyi in her own world.

Aisa lagtha hain jaisa she's made a world of her own, her own bubble of happiness, colors and khushi-khushi.

Every person his/her way of dealing with pain and loss. And one of those ways is denying, running away from it, and rather creating an entirely different world of their own jahaan pe sab khushi ho.

For me, now that this baby track has been brought in, I guess this is what triggered Meghna to be the way she is. Now, I am not sure if the CVs are trying to show it this way, but this is how I perceived it.

And this kind of dealing with pain and loss is dangerous coz it takes a continuous effort to create an alternative world 24x7 and live in it, parallel to living in the real world, or atleast pretending to.

But behind that beautiful lie, the pain and loss keep brewing darker and deeper, eating the person's sanity in the worst way possible.

And this bipolar of a life, of trying to over-write the loss and pain with a beautiful non-existent world would get pretty dangerous. Coz, once that facade falls weak or cracks open, the real personality that is being battered and plummeted with pain and loss for a real long time would've turned insane, toxic, dangerous and pretty goddamn evil!

And this..is exactly what I am hoping of this entire Meghna-baby track.

One: Either she's already become a monster inside who is wearing the facade of a happy bright brazilian bird, waiting for the right time to strike.

Or two: When the truth comes out that the baby is still alive, the monster springs to life.

And with Indrani being the mother, the repulsive and impulsive streak will not only be flared but also will take a rather nasty shape and turn.

Honestly, if the Cvs can and will deal this track properly, Meghna will prove to be a pretty strong and dangerous villian. Or atleast, have some pretty dark and disturbing shades of gray to her character.

So...yes, I am liking this track. Now..if only it goes the way it is churning in my head.

Now, why Chandni did what she did?

See, I have always felt it difficult to connect with Chandni's character. Now with the current Mahaan-aathma track, I have lost every ounce of hope and semblance of connection. Also, I can't even empathise with this character anymore.

There has always been inconsistency in Chandni's character and now, it is all but getting butchered, r atleast, IMO.

Coming to hiding this baby...I have a few theories, but lets say ki, nothing would make much sense as of now.

And I honestly would've liked it more, had Chandni done all of this in order to protect Meghna from the taunts of the society, rather than protecting her Mother's guroor and prathishta.

Which again...is not entirely justified, coz the decision is the mother;s to make and not the Maasi's!!! But still, it would've been a comparatively better take.

Coming to Advay hating Chandni..this is..something I am not entirely sure I am okay with.

I dont know. I dont understand how and why Advay is gonna misunderstand Chandni here.

I mean, I dont know. I'm still not convinced enough.

Had Advay misunderstood her before the mini-revelation sequence, it would've been bang on.

After the revelation about her kidnap and stuff..Math professor hain. Ithna toh calculate kar saktha hain.

She's been abducted, she's not been touched, but made a prisoner. And a hardly year baby comes ahead.

It just doesnt add up with Chandni's revelation of her fear for bheed and PTSD.

But again, a few proper explanations might convince me.

But once it will be revealed that the baby is Meghna and she hid it from the mother, if anything, at this pint of time, he should be intrigued and surprised. May be angry but not hate.

I mean, its too early to make any assumptions but..I dont think Advay will hate Chandni more. If anything, I think this will give him the scope to know this mystery named Chandni, further more.

I am an out and out #teamAdvay, but something about this whole...hating Chandni based on hardly known facts about the baby-Chandni relation is just..not Advay-like.


Oh and I am glad, uber glad that Advay's disgust stemmed from the assumption that Chandni has abandoned her own child, and not coz she's not a virgin!


So yeah, that's my take on Meghna-Baby-Chandni-Advay for now.

Chandni is a poorly showed character in the show but to a certain extent not as poorly etched as we are made to believe. She may not be relatable but she is not nonexistent. Chandni has been made to believe that she has been extremely lucky to have a stepmother who has given her all the basic necessities, in fact given all the comforts of a lovable family. Years of continuous manipulation and psychological tuning that she was obligated to obey for the benevolence bestowed upon her, it has seeped into her existence. She has been programmed to do anything that her step mother expects from her and accept anything she is magnanimous enough to extend to her, even hatred. Chandni has been trained to believe that her mother is her Goddess, it's the duty of the devotee to accept blessings and hurdles as Prasad.

It is the deficiency of the script to not have clearly portrayed the complicated character that Chandni is.

As for the baby track, though I have my reservations, for now I trust candy's judgment of Meghana's character. I have no comments now about the right or wrong of Chandni hiding the baby's existence from Meghana. I want to believe that it's a trp stunt as of now

Loved your post Candy. I am utterly disappointed by Chandni's character growth. Just yesterday we were talking about how Chandni has survived so many horrible incidents till date. And today they show Chandni separated a child from his mother to maintain her evil step-mom's izzat.🤢 I am sorry but even I can't sympathize with her in this matter. I hope they end this baby track soon and start the main storyline after AdvNi marriage.
About Meghna being the future villain- Do not care .😆 I don't like her anyway.

Proud of Advay though. Bitwaa was angry today for the right reason. He is not a MCP and that's a relief.⭐️

One: I got totally disconnected with her Mahaan-aathma stuff
Two: She cant just take the decision. That's the mother's right. Kam se kam, Meghna ko pata hota and is kept away fearing stuff wrt to the society and stuff? That's fab.

Candy you give a lot of thought to the characters dear! I don't think CVS have thought so much about this track! I think primarily they wanted to create a mammoth sized MU between dev and chandni which is why the baby track! I don't know what to make out of this subplot. I am not even sure it has any potential to work as a catalyst to bring the leads' story in a proper direction! This whole track is just 🤢

And I agree with your last line completely.
TEAM ASR all the way.

I know everyone's disappointed. I was too and still am. But just think of Chandni's love/obsession for her mother as a flaw, a shade in the character instead of mahanata. You know there was a post talking about how righetous people sometimes do more wrong for believing they are right. She believes herself to be right and wrongs the one who trust her. First Advay and now meghna.Seems hard right now but let's give Chandni a chance.
Highlight for me too was Advay's reaction about baby. Proves time and again why we love him and root for him.

Candy!

I feel so disappointed with the CVs today - I think you are giving them more credit then they deserve, they have butchered the chandni character, she is nothing like what we were lead to believe at the start of the show and they have done it using a sledge-hammer.

As you know I am team advay, not just because of Barun (mostly, but not totally), but because of all the crap that he has dealt with in life, losing his family, home and Chandu, he still cares and knows the difference between right and wrong, there is still a innate goodness in him. I actually genuinely love the character and want him to heal and find love and live happily ever after...

I have found Chandni not as easy to relate to, but I can live with that S1 FL same story, but I was already struggling to root for her and after this I hate to say this but I don't think she is good enough for Advay, I am not seeing the same innate goodness in her. Her judgment is fundamentally flawed (mum's prestige is the most important factor, she will marry a creep for money), she does lie (and not for justifiable reasons) and she can be cruel (the nails, the video and if you think about her opinions on orphans that she voiced to Advay they seem even more nasty now). I want someone for him that can heal him in the right way, with honesty and love.

People were worried about the torture Advay was going to inflict on Chandni as part of his revenge, seriously nothing can be more violent then Chandni separating a mother from her child.

I really think the CVs didn't think this through, the trp audience may think that it is ok to hide such a fact from your sister in the name of family honour but what a clanger with the online/international audience.
I said in another post, the CVs need to watch the film Philomena to understand just how cruel a thing they showed today.

Nice one candy...
I was wondering about meghu from the time I heard abt track... She seemed to be happy girl for such tragedy!
But ur theory is apt... If only writers r capable of it...I know them yaar... That's why I decided to enjoy things I love and forget others
Coming to advay mu, I think he thought her confession during panic attack was lie... Worse he thinks whole panic attack is lie
