Completely agreed. Adi n zoya still has not shown the complete growth. Theres still some inconsistency in their character graph. I also felt cvs made the dialogue too ott by making adi say "main zoya se bepannah pyaar karta hu" its still not bepannah pyaar frm his side for zoya i feel. He should have said instead "main zoya se bohat pyaar karta hu" but they needed to add the shows name to add the intensity n exciting factor to his dialogues so thats y they used it. But for both adiya to have bepannaah love for each other, theres still a very very long long way to go n they have to cross many more hurdles n difficult paths to have that love which will b limitless. Wen they will b able to cross all those hurdles together successfully for each other only then their love can in real sense be called as bepannaah.

Just out of curiosity, are there any lead couples currently on tv, who are as complex and enigmatic as Aditya and Zoya? Post leap, I have seen like at least 20 topics posted analysing their character growth or lack thereof. Everyone is literally tearing their hair out..are they in love or in denial?

Trust me when I say it's fun, but if we are wondering and puzzling so much, how the trp audience must feel? I understand they seem to prefer simple and easy to understand love stories.

Hey @romancefan, guess your name says it all, eh?

Unfortunately you've posed the question to the wrong person 'cos BP is the only series that I'm currently watching on ITV!

Don't know about the others, but can speak only about the thought behind my post...Aditya and Zoya are undoubtedly very well written characters, but can the CVs do better? The honest answer in my opinion is a loud and resounding YES!!
A lot of our affinity for AdiYa comes from JenShad playing them...lesser actors would have made a caricature of the characters...even running the risk of comimg across as imbecile in a sense...the makers truly owe a lot to Harshad and Jennifer for the immortality that they have lent to Aditya and Zoya, respectively!

As for comparisons with trp shows...to each his own...my comparisons are really with the BENCHMARK that is "Zindagi Gulzar Hai" for me...flawless writing to complement flawless acting!

Cheers!

By the way there is another DocD but she is a Goldie. Is that you Doc? Or someone else? Confused.

I thought IF didn't allow duplicate user names...I thought I was the only DocD doing the rounds around here!

Now even I'm confused! 😆

Bepanah moves to the next phase with completion of 100 episodes.

The CVs I think made Aditya use the " Bepanah pyar " phrase as they have exactly what you are suggesting as the way forward.,DocD. I believe we are going to see a different Aditya now .An Aditya who will move out of Zoya's way to allow her to move forward in life by marrying Arshad..He will not fight with Arshad neither expose him as someone out to cheat Zoya etc etc as spoiler after spoiler have been saying but move out of their way ...leave for Paris as he had planned.Arshad I feel is not going to be a villainous guy but rather a nice fellow ..someone parents would want their daughter to marry ...specially one who has been through previous bad experience.She herself will abide by her father's wishes as when she married against his wishes it was a disaster.She will hesitate to rebel again.
Adi has a tortured life ahead as the sacrificing lover but he will prove it is a bepanah pyar by leaving for Paris to allow her to marry Arshad for her happiness.

I am almost certain this is the way forward for this serial even though I will hate to see Aditya as a tragic hero.

I believe the plot will move this way as this is a Cinevista production and maybe some of you have seen their magnum opus DMG which starred JW in the lead as well.In DMG the lead Riddhima also marries under unfortunate circumstances a guy she did not love but approved of by her father who did not like the boy she wanted to marry.It was a long saga of sacrifice,doing one's duty,tradition etc ..one that ended happily after a long twisted journey.

Actually,almost did not but for the fact that fans would not have it any other way.I believe the finale was changed under pressure to bring about a happy ending.

Be prepared for shades of Dil Mil Gayye in different packaging.

i feel Aditya and Zoya havent changed much post leap .. they are the same .. it is just that a bad experience has helped them to grow a lil but not completely ...

Yes I know that Jenshad did an incredible job so far and only highly experienced actors can pull off Aditya and Zoya roles. But am sure you are aware that trp is a constant battle for this show, so am just wondering how this whole thingy will pan out for the trp audience who may be more confused than us. Of course, as fans, the most wonderful gift to our show will be to help them fetch trps.

You've actually touched upon an important point...trp of the show!

The kind of show that BP is...it was never intended to be run of the mill, IMO...even Harshad's interview during the show's release hinted at that...

The makers however, have tried everything available at their disposal...what was the Rajveer track all about? It made no sense whatsoever! Was the tried and tested method to rake in the trps...didn't work, did it?

A better approach IMO is to stay true to the core...and the makers have shown us their nuanced side...on several occasions...and the TRPs have remained constant!

BP is doing fine...it can only get better...don't think it was ever meant to be part of the rat race...guess, we should all be proud to remember Bepannaah as a successful attempt at novel story-telling, with some epochal performances on display!

Amen to that!

And one more thing...DMG was not under the pressure of trp race so could show anything they want. But BP is different. It's cruel but in order to compete with the Titans, CVs cannot afford to deviate from the fixed formula.
