And I finally got my answer to why Ekta Kapoor is such a success and why we have such low IQ high decibel shows getting the best TRPs!! And then we blame EK, ITV et al 😉!! We asked for it ! But honestly I do buy your explanation for it esp seeing how the political tamasha plays on news channels in our country🤣
Personally I cannot watch the TRP driven dramas so Katha Ankahee with all its shortcomings and flaws is still like a breath of fresh air😊!!
While I do understand your POV on bringing more angst from Viaan in that scene, I guess they wanted to get Katha and Viaan into a friend zone asap. And Viaan was more controlled cause he was not ready for this conversation. I though he brought out the angst beautifully in his first bare-foot apology. His inner demons are not exorcised fully I feel...but his massive guilt on the awful thing he did has broken a wall inside him. I feel the angst you are looking for will come in no small measure in the future, when Viaan is in love and has to make his mother understand what her staying stuck in the past has cost him, when he has to make her understand his love and accept Katha or when he has to choose between his mother and Katha! When he has to help her mother deal with her delusions and see reality...that her husband was a cheater and she cannot lay the blame on the so called gold-digger! Also, I feel the ONS discussion is not over yet. Yesterday was the first step Katha took towards Viaan...she is still not comfortable talking about it, but with the tea analogy she let him know that she sees him, that she understands him and knows that he is trying to make amends for his past mistakes. That she knows he is much more than that one mistake. And that heartfelt smile was a reassurance to him...it came from her heart! When Katha and Viaan actually fall in love, realise their love and express it...the ONS has to be actually put out in the open between them. For some reason I do trust the creative team of this show to do justice there...fingers crossed😃!!
Also, if you really observe Viann, the inner child inside him has been stifled for so long and has been aching to let go and live life, to be happy without the burden he carries for his mother. I think the real reason he is so traumatised is not just the walkout of his father but because his mother could not cope with the walkout. She must have fallen apart and he must have had to be the adult in their life. And at some point she learnt to cope by living in complete denial.
