Shashi Godbole and Shobha Sachdev

I understand why CVs hesitated to show Shobha having any feelings for Vikram apart from seeing him as a genuine friend (may be pressure of TRPs). .

Yes, Shoba seems farce.

"...The CVs symbolically show their up coming bond then and there... there by preparing the audience to meet the bold and controversial,..."

I suppose, In the course of the play, by the compulsion of her kith and kin she will accept him

They gave kept Shobha's character graph just same same and the way it goes it goes!!!
Another member JC has put forth it well let me pull it for you..

I always thought there was a lot of fluctuation in Shobha's character after the time Samarth came back but well her pblm is she is good very very good she sees things she sees ahe hears things she hears she believes & trust things around her which she wants to trust but the world is selfish the world is full of mean horrible people !! Goodness wants goodness around them there are a hand picked ones yet her own family there is none whom she trusts !!

For me I see Vikram as a Devine Soul he also has always been a giver a giver of Love and hope to get same love hope may not get the same in return ... I am happy that Shobha never crossed the line as she is still married she values marriage her values do not allow her to do so fair enuf well shown ..yet sometime in life if u need a companion yes Vikram a wonderful man is always there!!

To me the way they show love here is very nicely shown Shobha is Shobha who is pure soul her commitments to her family is most important she is also a giver and expects nothing but hope that happiness prevails so till the end she will remain the same ..., her ways of rising and fighting is normal & just like simple ..

So the characterization of Shobha is this way only and in a way maybe its different & no character female protagonists is shown like this..to my knowledge.

They want to portray her as adarsh Bharatiy naari, who is a devoted mother, wife, daughter in law who gets betrayed. She is allowed to think alternatives only after the betrayal, after she cuts off her relation with her husband. That is where I loose connection with Shobha. Even after having a husband like Samarth and a nice person like Vikram to compare with, her mind is so stable which I feel is an unrealistic portrayal.

I would compare her to Shashi Godbole of English Vinglish, whose husband was not as horrible as Samarth, still not a nice man either. She values when Laurent appreciates her beauty. Her mind wanders off for a moment and comes back, before she chooses to settle with her reality but with dignity. (Though I had no dispute with her choice, I felt Laurent deserved a coffee session at least, which he persistently asked).

I could connect with Shashi more than Shobha. I felt she was more human.

Shobha is one super human being. Even if we create a man who is as handsome as Hritik, who is witty and has sense of humour like Obama, who is as romantic as Sharukh and who can promise commitment like M A K Pataudi, still she never gets perturbed. Shobha Atal Sachdev. 👏

You are absolutely right, I am watching this show from the beginning, do not comment much, but always read posts, and I agree with you, some how I feel they fail to get that connection in this show, they should have given more conversations to Vikram and Shobha, they could have done an awesome job, this is a good show, I am surprised that's is coming from Kekta, but still it is not up to the mark, writing is not that great, they still get these negative characters for no reason, I keep wondering why they can not create beautiful mature romance like Pak dramas? ( ref: Dhoop Kinare, Mere humdrum mere dost) of course the one that I am referring to have different plots and stories but they can create a story without being negative, these writers lack depth, I always feel that, They do have some awesome characters in the show, like Nani and Vikram but somehow they could not make use of that. show lacks the intensity an depth, Still I enjoyed watching, but there is some disconnect, it lacks the emotional connect. I have no idea why they did not show Shobhaa falling for Vikram, anyone will fall for him after all what he has done for her, it is very unreal, so what she is still married, she can still have feelings for him, after all her husband is one horrible guy, Overall there are lot of missing links, they just rushed the story, and focus was more on stupid sarika and Samantha, for no reason,why they could not focus on both Vibha.. it 'd have been amazing. Somehow I feel writers are very shallow. they just think about trips and that is the reason we can not come up with awesome stories.. sadly..

What I meant to say is, I was not looking for typical trip, fall and catch scenes, eye locks blah blah.. I have seen that in plenty. They don't suit in ViBha's relation. I was not looking for romance in any physical form. I am fine with that. All I wanted is Shobha to recognise her feelings (even subtlety), accepting them and respecting them.

Thats what we do not know she smiles she is happy with him around what is feeling has she ever explored when she is with Vikram her priority always always was her kids she has never thought abt her self the graph of her character ... She has never explored anything beyond that feelings passion love what are those in her dictionary ?? No
Idea.. The way Vikram shows passion Towards her she is not gettin that intensity pr she is too scared thats the only conclusion...

Any woman can see how much passion he has what is love her reasoning is trust faith understanding & respect maybe she sees that in him she will
Never confess if she feels for Vikram does she have any feelings???

Beleieve me thats what they are showing from Shobha she may not say she loves Vikram
But her glow her happiness resides in being with him ghats the dastaan ...

Its just pure soulful love maybe!!
