Shwetha! Your new profile picture! So beautiful

Thanks Pavitra! After Riddhima and Vansh (IMMJ2), no other pairing had caught my attention and now finally after 5 years, TejNeil did, they are gone!!! Changed the picture as TejNeil is my new favorite Jodi. #TejNeil forever ♥️ ❤️

From 2 days they are showing tejaswini flash back scenes . I wonder if she's already shot those scenes or she's doing these scenes now.

These are called as carrot scenes and they are doing this on purpose as they want the older audiences to keep watching in the namesake of such scenes. But ganja ph, viewers are much smarter than you. We wouldn't fall for this.

Why do some extremely renowned authors use disturbing scenes in their books to convey their ideas? I'm not talking about scenes related to molestation. Those scenes are completely fine. I've no problem with those scenes. I'm talking about some really weird and very problematic scenes that don't make sense to me. I like use of symbolism, metaphors, and imagery in books. But symbolism shouldn't make readers uncomfortable. I really want to read two insanely popular novels, but I think I need to skip reading them at least for now, because of the disturbing scenes.

Well, Shirsha, there are quite a lot of types of problematic scenes. Most authors try to induce that for shock value but I couldn't understand the context here. I mean, I am not able to imagine the intensity of the problematic scenes as you have already mentioned molestation and related assault, objectification scenes. Could you be a bit more specific? I might be able to get what you're pointing at.

yes not watching it on TV...

I am sure that her murder scene might have been shot already. They are just using these already shot scenes wherever appropriate to create curiosity.

I felt the same for Harry Potter infact. The first 3 books were exciting from Goblet of Fire, it became so dark and introduced character killings that it remained no more for kids and became like the Twilight series, adult fantasy. The genre of the HP books completely changed a bit from Prisoner of Azkhaban and totally after Goblet of Fire. Yes, I think sometimes the authors have to change the course due to publications wanting to sell more copies. Dan Brown books have mostly similar issues.

It's true that mechanical engg is for guys and the ratio of boys to girls is 10:1. It's a tough choice but a lot of times either the girl has brain wired to do mechanical engineering or had no other choice due to low scores. In my batch, mechanical had a total of 60 out of which only 5 were girls.

1:12 your college was quite progressive....

I second that. Like I said, after a book attains immense success, the subsequent sequels are just cash cows. They capitalise on the success of the previous book and the quality changes drastically. Writers and publishers get greedy into making money, thereby introducing multiple shocking, unnecessary and uncomfortable scenes. These help them elevate the publicity the book gets. People start talking about the shock value scenes and many readers get curious to buy it. More talk, more money. Many book series are ruined like that.
