Hello there. By now everyone has watched or read the written update. So not giving spoiler alert.
So let's start with what is intriguing about the episode and of course it is Vihaan. He is flirty, mischievous, cunning, tharki, greedy, moral-less, sneaky. In short every thing Vansh wasn't. It will be a treat to watch the character if projected properly. If it is Vansh (which I hope it is) than qudos to changing the character drastically as such. we have at least 50+ episode to talk about him and to see how his story unfolds. so cutting short on here.
Disappointment is obviously the CV's butchered a potential character like Vansh. May be Vihaan is Vansh. May be he has motive. But I still believe they killed a character unnecessarily just for bringing a change. It is very rare in ITV to see a character like Vansh. It was his character that brought people together. Helly shah might be a senior actor with larger followers, but it was Vansh and the dynamics of his character that shaped up the show. I knew ITV can't handle a character of that magnitude but I at least hoped that they will try to explore the character. There were so many ways to explore the layers of Vansh Raisinghania. My heart cries thinking of all the butchered possibilities and layers of the character. And let's not start on the failed potential of the relationship of Vansh Riddhima. They both were shaded character and faulty. They had so many options to explore, so many idea to try. But nah, they will go for typical humshakal drama . My heart bleeds thinking the missed opportunity.
I know ITV shows needs to revamp in almist 50-60 episodes to ensure the hype. But the foolish me , for once had hoped IMMJ2 will be different. At least they will not spoil the characters and explore the dimensions of it. But nah. They didn't. As usual couldn't handle the vastness of the characters.
Let's just enjoy the show just for entertainment. I will not be hoping anything else. If they can do this to a character like this, I guess... it is better to just enjoy the entertainment.
P.S. don't even get me started how the are butchering the prospectives of RIddhima's character. I can't even
P.S.S. I am not against Vihaan or bashing the show. Just dishearten to see how a character like Vansh killed mercilessly in the name of twist and TRP
