The thing with RiAnsh is that Riddhima is an enabler and Vansh has many dark sides. She was initially a woman with a strong backbone. It probably intrigued him a lot to watch how she shook with fear and yet put him in his place many times.
But a consistent theme in Riddhima’s character is her love. She will and CAN die for the man she loves. It’s literally Ishq Mein Marjawan for her. She did that for Kabir when for his sake, she married Vansh. And she is doing that since she fell in love with Vansh. For him, she will take bullshit from everyone and accept whatever crap he throws at her. And because she enables him, Vansh continues to show this manipulative and abusive behaviour when provoked.
As per me, Vansh may have softened because he believes now that Ridz loves him truly. But give him one good reason and he will again be violent with his words and behaviour.
In ITV, this is normal behaviour. Pushing, pulling, gala dabana, sab ke saamne bezzati karna is normal behaviour. Bas kuch male characters the jo aisa nahi karte the and still became popular. Unn mein se ek ko bhi TRP pressure ne aisa bana diya due to a hypnosis nonsensical track. I am referring to N1, N3 and recently N5 ke male leads. But zyada nahi kahungi because this isn’t the forum for that.
I wish there was another way to show dark love. So many ways to make things sexier without breaking bangles and paralysing one’s wives 🤔
Thank you.
Tbh, I let the stories write themselves out. My initial concept for the piece was to simply focus on Riddhima being guilty for betraying Kabir by falling in love with Vansh, while simultaneously be guilty about her deceptive ways towards Vansh. By the time I was finished with the whole thing, Vansh's guilt also surfaced.
Agreed. The initial Riddhima is the one that I appreciated the most. She would be vulnerable and scared, but that didn't stop her from standing up for herself.
The enabling quality that you have mentioned is something that I can't tolerate. It irks me greatly because of very obvious reasons. This man is extremely toxic and needs to mend his ways, but instead of being stopped, he's just being egged on.
Absolutely! The reasoning behind his so called revenge on her still doesn't make sense to me. Apparently he always knew that Kabir was the one who sent Riddhu, so why punish her so badly? He should have directed all his energies onto Kabir instead.
This image that is perpetuated to men really needs to end. This type of violent behavior is not normal, and most importantly, it's not romantic. It's abuse, plain and simple.
I agree. But apparently the CVs want to go down this route and romanticize this disgusting behavior instead.
