The Massacre of a Character!!!

So there was a girl...someone who held her pride and self-respect above all...someone who faced all adversity with remarkable resiliance, courage and determination...who bore trouble with a calm exterior and quietude, with belief in her inner strength and righteousness...

Life favored her with one crisis after another...She lost her parents, was rendered homeless with the added responsibility of two younger sisters...She came to a strange city to take shelter with a family whom she did not know...She did not waver...she was offered a job at the bottom of the ladder, she accepted, knowing she could carry through....Her younget sister faced a life threatening illness...she needed money and had access to cash which did not belong to her...She did nt succumb to the temptation of compromising her morals for saving what was so precious to her...Instead she chose to part with a house which was dearer than any thing...An integral part of her identity...

Her second sister eloped on the day of the wedding, and she was forced to take her place in an unwanted, undesired marriage...Her husband used her as a convenient battering post to avenge his betrayal...He accused her, tormented her, tried to shatter her peace of mind...She did not break...On the contrary she chose to help him out of his sorrow...to concede to him her silent support and understanding...Her generosity came to to the fore as she decided to care for his aunt, and his family...To put up the facade of a happy marriage...

Slowly and surely she won her husband's heart...But another crisis awaited her...The man she loved turned out to be the person who had killed her mother...Yet even in the midst of of this shattering confession, she chose to show her love for him...By embracing him in the face of impending death...His life was again in danger...She forgot her resentment and ran to him to assure herself of his wellness...

She became pregnant with his child...She chose nevertheless to live alone and care for her baby on her own accord...She was large-hearted, she acknowledged his love and longing for his child...But she wanted to be independent...completely...However difficult it might be for her...She wanted to bring up her child on her own...

That was Bani Dixit..who later became Bani Walia...The character who held us enthralled for so many months with her dignity, consistency and grace..But then, can a fictional character rise above the script???...Is it free to chart its own path...NO...

Nothing was more apparent today...The makers have ensured..the old Bani is massacred...This new Bani is unrecognisable..She's learnt to hurt, she's learnt to betray, most of all..she's learnt to steel her heart against hte person she loves the most...I dont care how they manage explain away this alimony twist...whether she wants the money for Pia..whether she's covering up for someone, or any other reason...It hardly matters...The twist will remain inconsistent with what she was...And will remain a black mark on her...The Bani we knew is lost...Can we find her again...I am not so sure...😕...

P.S Had decided to refrain from posting for sm days on account of my exams...but today was too hard to resist...I suppose though that if the serial continues this way, soon there would be nthing to resist against...😭

bani bani bani why did u do this

very well written 👏 👏 what did happen to bani?!?!

👏 👏 👏

WOW!! Great writing rupy! I counld'nt have said it any better!! 👏

Our Bani is surly lost now, i dont think she will return. Wat i think, is the the money, the wealth, the pressure of Pia and the dukh she came over changed Bani and made her a more self-fish and less caring person

I miss Bani Dixit! 😭

well said rupy...

I'll only accept the explanation if she was being blacmailed to save Jai's life (remember the white saree?)

but still it seems very unreal that Bani would do anything like this 😕

very well written and I feel the same. the character has done an
about turn, too unrealistic. This black mark will not go.

I completely agree such a great humble character who has faced tremendous hardship and comes out a winner. Why such a character assissnation? I mean is there a reason? I read somewhere this was Ekta's favourite character. How could she mess it up like that?
No amount of justification can make it right.
Unless there is some way to make Bani more mahaan in front of eyes. If this serial keeps on going like this. God can only help it.
If this keeps going like this I have to find another thing to do at 9pm.
I mean they have not cleared so many things like the killer, Park Road raaz and god knows what? And now this god someone help me.

Beautifully said Rupy! They have most definitely butchered the character. As I said in the one of the other threads.. I can't think of anything Bani could do to redeem herself in my eyes now. No matter what the reasoning.. be it blackmail, or her doing it all on her own. She's fallen so much in my eyes. She was the ONE who stood above all as being honest, and having an honesty to her characterization. Now, they've just destroyed whatever defined her. Its crap! And i am just disgusted, beyond belief.

Well said Rupy...The makers can call it twist and turns but it is nothing short of massacare... It started the moment she uttered "I hate you Mr. Walia" right after she submerged herself in JW arms ready to die with him... 😕

I am sure the creatives will do about turn and make us believe that she is infact protecting JW from Roshni or Ranveer but the damage is already done... This simply cannot be Bani's style of loving JW and protecting him..

That was an excellent portrayal of Bani's character, Rupy! 👏 👏 👏 It could'nt have been expressed in a better manner!

I would assume that the creatives and Ekta, when they create a character, do give enough thought to the reactions and consequences..Afterall, one of the strong points of KS has been the excellent definition and consistency of each character in the serial, be it Jai or Bani or Pia or Jigyasa or Ranveer..

Bani's character, over the months, has gained a lot of popularity with the audience for her strength, courage, determination, honesty, self-respect and pride..To massacre such a strong character would be death the serial!! And being in the profession of "creative team" of a soap, they should've foreseen this already! Either that, or-what can I say-they are plain dumb!!😕

So the only explanation I can come up for today's fiasco is, that something is making Bani do whatever she is..maybe she found out about Ranveer's plans and did this to save Jai's business and money..maybe she wanted to save Jai's life by going away from him, knowing he loves her very much, bcos of some threat she got..I don't know..I don't even know what I'm saying anymore..

The only thing I guess there's left to be done is watch patiently for a few more episodes and then decide..Is this all worth it?? Is this going anywhere?? Am I wasting my time?? Is there any hopes for this serial now, which has drowned too deep into the waters?? 😕 😔

Only time will tell..until then, we have no choice but to wait and watch (or not!), unfortunately!
