Katha Ankahee -- #12 daily episode DT - Page 66

The conversation between Katha and Aarav tugged at my heartstrings. Azinkya Mishra is a good actor, what a nuanced performer for his age.

I don't have any personal experience but I imagine this is a struggle all children with a deceased parents go through. How would it feel to have father? how different life would be. Despite Katha's efforts, this is a void that can never be filled. even father figures are not a replacment for the real thing. I know Aarav has viaan but I think about the emptiness of the children who never get that kind of love.

yoi bring up valid points on Kathaa. However I don’t think it’s about her processing his loss. There is no full stop to that kind of loss, its omnipresence is often confused with interference or inability, whereas that may not be the case. BUT BUT we don’t know because the writers don’t give us clarity on this from Katha’s perspective. The only thing we know so far is she has become very comfortable with just herself and her son. This has been compounded with her having to deal with his illness, there has been no time for anyone else and now she feels there is no need. And it’s absolutely fine to feel that there is no need. Because women who have loved and lost are made to feel like they are afraid to love again.. while that may be partially true, it is different for different people.

Obviously the last episode we have been shown that this need is something her son has expressed, which obviously she will now possibly entertain. And yet again, the makers give us these imbalanced characterization / on one hand she has told Viaan very categorically that no place for a third person and on the other hand, she expresses her need to fulfill every wish of Arav to Dodo.

Of course, this can only mean one thing. If Katha will say yes to Viaan it will be for Arav and not for herself. To me that makes for an interesting chapter. But here again I do wish there was more clarity on the characterization. And the reason I say IF is because since they have given us no clarity on her exact feelings, who knows we may have a track where another guy is also introduced by PapaG who he can control.

With respect to Viaan I agree with you - am cut pasting what I already said two pages ago. This also relates to Ehsan. The whole about turn is a joke - I agree with @Amarpali2 on this

……

with respect to Kathaa it is actually her inability to open up to a second chance. Viaan is right in that Katha is afraid to so do. BUT its actually not normal for a man who is in love with a woman who has been in love before and lost to have such an objective perspective, I wish the dialogues that Viaan said had actually come from Ehsun. Because Viaan should have gone into she will never love me, because when you are in love, there is a slight vulnerability.

To me, this is where the writers are messing up. They are not clear in how they want to build the two characters of Viaan and Ehsun. if they have decided to make Ehsun the supportive friend then they need to go all out. If they have decided to make Viaan vulnerable, then they need to go all out…they can’t flip flop. Katha has clearly just told him there is no place for anyone else and apna hero has decided nope, I don’t agree. That’s not normal. In fact, if anyth8ng Ehsun who has heard this before has had time with this information, the nope this isn’t true, or cannot live in past should have come from him, because he has had time to assess her after she told him the same thing.

I did however like the whole friends convo,,,the lightness of it..was a treat to watch.,. Especially when Ehsun goes we don’t have experience of being fathers…it was funny.

BUt I am unable to understand the characterization of Viaan. If someone asks me what kind of a man is he…I will be unable to answer…because you can be a little of a lot of things, but you can’t be a little of everything.

Now coming to G family, I do think they wrapped the ema track so that they could explore the what happens when someone new comes into our widow bahu with ghar ka Chirag track… I do think here too they will not fully explore because they have given the family another boy…

The whole culmination of tracks so abruptly has added to the confusion while watching. There needs to be some seamless way of storytelling. It’s kind of disappointing.

Anyways!!! I do hope you drop by more often… becos even discussing it here in the forum has become less interesting… again pata nahi if that’s just me!

Columbia, I have always felt that Sony caters more for the International audience than the Indian audience. Hence, there is less drama. I may be wrong but over the years, I have mostly enjoyed Indian shows on Sony.

If I am honest, I am fine with the episodes which are being shown. True they could have dealt better with the Yuvraj-Meera track but I was bored of the EMA angle. I also did not feel any sympathy for Reet....not that she deserves to be cheated upon just because of her unpleasant nature.

Ehsan - Viaan

I would never forgive someone who would spike my drink. The following tracks made no sense nor did the actual drink spiking scene. But during the conversation between the 2 friends, Ehsan confronted Viaan about not letting Katha go with him on the work trip and Viaan accepted. My interpretation of this whole track is that it's a man thing🤣Maybe I am naive but I feel like the world has changed a lot, and so have moral boundaries. The writers believe that that action was not a deal breaker. I feel like the harrasment case made Ehsan realise the importance of Viaan in his life. Hence, he was back to his bhai jaap. Does it undo all the time he badmouthed Viaan to Katha? No according to me. But I am not the writer🤣I also feel that Ehsan knows that he cannot run EarthCon. I personally don't know what Ehsan actually does in EarthCon but I feel like he has reverted back to the carefree person he actually is. Having said all of this, I do not feel that we have seen the last of this track. I think that Ehsan will flip again once he sees Katha with Viaan. It won't be a matter of love but of ego. I don't think that Ehsan could advise Viaan on matters of the heart for he lacks depth.

Viaan

I did not find it surprising for Viaan to realise that Katha was reluctant for a second chance. Viaan has been shown to have depth. I, however, cannot connect to the idiotic Viaan whom we are seeing. They have reduced Viaan to the intelligence level of an Aarav. He could have approached the love angle through the friendship angle but he's being shown to have no patience nor consideration for the place where Katha actually is in her life. He would have won her over time but the makers seem to be in a rush. Is the show coming to an end? I have no idea. Since Viaan has confided in Ehsan that he can win over Katha through her son, I feel like this will lead to future misunderstandings. I personally wanted the bond between Viaan and Aarav to remain pure. I wanted the conflict to come from Katha and the Gs.

Well let us see what actually unfolds over the next episodes.

I will tag you whenever there is something worthy to be discussed. But like I said, I am binge-watching one week's episodes at a time.

@bold, I have similar thoughts. No idea why Yuvraj-Meera was introduced and it was quite boring 😳. But, things like this seem to be more common now, getting into relationships instead of addressing the issues in their marriages. So, maybe it was to highlight that. Who knows! Agree too, Reet does not deserve it. If anything this might make her even more demanding.

Spiking Viaan’s drink? I think it’s a guy thing if they can be so cool about it later. What I still don’t get about it is the reason to spike. I mean Eshan could have also shown off his dance moves🕺 🕺🕺. It was too soon, too fast for the jealous and possessive angle. The good change in him now? He is more watchful and alert and not just with women😂. At least we will get to see his commitment towards Earthcon.

With regards to Viaan, he truly has depth and maturity that is quite remarkable. Few men can share how they felt growing up and let it go. He in some way has come to terms with it. I liked there was no tears or outburst during the conversation with his mother, there was a resigned dignity there.
Wondering if he plans to take the bull by the horns with Katha! I am all for it. It is important for her to move on, not for Aarav’s sake but for herself too. I only hope this story doesn’t turn out to be a Gone with the Wind. I don’t want to see a Katha being tolerant, accommodating, or refusing to participate and stopping herself from giving fully in a relationship.
I see quite a bit of this in real life and honestly this does more harm than good to the others involved as well. By the way, why doesn’t she ever smile when she is with Viaan?

I find her quite at ease with Viaan. He is the only one in whom she confides. The problem is that she knows that she's not indifferent towards him. She also knows that Viaan has feelings for her. She doesn't know how to deal with the situation. She told him that there is no place for a man in her life. If I am honest, I would probably have done the same thing at that particular stage. Problem is that she has started developing feelings for him. Now what does she do....

She is at ease when she is in the mood to share or confide. Not at other times. That sort of sends mixed signals. And this is the problem. Yes, she does have feelings for him, I doubt she wants to acknowledge it though….

I think it's natural for her to send mixed signals at this stage. Unfortunately, she works with Viaan and sees him on a regular basis. So, she doesn't really have the space nor the time to go through these feelings organically. I feel that Katha is someone who just gets things done. She does not stop to think and assess.

Please let her not acknowledge her feelings now. Give us the inner battle within her. We need to see Katha's side of this love story now. Viaan became Majnu Raghuvanshi. God knows what the writers will make of Katha!

By the way, where is everyone else?

As the others have been repeatedly saying…. we need to hear Katha thinking out loud. Staring silently doesn’t help. 🤦‍♀️

There is one thing I appreciate a lot in this story- that no woman is being pulled, pushed, dragged etc. No physical abuse, no verbal abuse. Grateful for that.
