Prachi speaks for herself before marriage. Pragya was the same before marriage. How she canceled her marriage due to dowry. How she exposed Akash to be father of Rachna s baby.

So after marriage Prachi will become the same as Pragya, normal with EK characters.

In ITv it’s always a case of viewers having to settle for less in terms of quality content and character graph.

I’m experiencing a similar problem. After me and my mother and other siblings feeling for years that our dad is different from other dads and people in general i realised three years back that my father is most likely on the autistic spectrum. All  the symptoms matched up. I tried convincing him since then numerous times to go to doctors so we can get an appropriate referral for him, he went only last year after putting up quite a fight with us only for our GP and mental health doctor to not take it seriously because my father sat at the appointments the whole time quietly looking like he doesn’t understand why he’s there and I had to do all the talking which the doctors want the actual patient to talk. If the actual patient is in denial and not taking things seriously then these lazy mental health doctors themselves won’t take the case seriously. In the end the doctor brushed it off as mere depression and said to me that the symptoms I see in my dad are all of depression. I was annoyed because I was like, how on earth can someone be non-stop depressed since they were an infant? I was so infuriated by their attitude, the doctor’s and my dad’s. 


Mental health unfortunately comes with alot of stigma and the generations preceding us grew up with a very toxic thinking about it. This is especially so for men. For most Mental illness doesn’t even exist.

 You’d be surprised how many people still try going for an exorcism over going to a psychiatrist / psychologist. 

Speaking from personal experience you can have depression for a long period of time without it stopping. I was diagnosed with it about 11 years ago when i was in my pre: early teena but i’ve had it for much longer, possibly since i was a child and its always there. I realized towards my final year of university that i have nearly all the symptoms for ADHD the side effect of which is also depression and anxiety among other things. That isn’t to say my depression is caused soley because of it but it makes it worse. 

It is very much possible for your dad to have depression but he could also be on the spectrum at the same time. 

It can be very frustrating to deal with adults in this regard so be patient and think what you want to achieve before going about how. 

For instance being formally diagnosed with AdHd  now won’t really do anything for me now because I've already suffered through the most period where it’s most challenging. 

In my dad’s case, i only want to take him to the therapist because he needs to talk to someone just to let everything out without effecting them. His depression isn’t going to go away but it may unburden him to an extent. Not much because that would require him to face things he no longer has the ability to face So long term and deep therapy is out of question too. What i can do is help him manage his current situation and symptoms. 

My Cousin’s wife and i suspect my cousin is on the spectrum too but since he refuses to get tested and it won’t really do anything for him even if he does - we just read up on how to deal with people on the spectrum and what we can do to help. 

I recommend following tips on how to deal with people who are on the spectrum while trying to use techniques for depression. It might not make a huge difference depending on his age but it may improve his quality of life. Paitently and repeatedly explaining your point until it sinks in might help. 

Also keep in mind that the older you are, the mow difficult it becomes to diagnose. I’m struggling to get diagnosed because it’s really difficult in my age to separate symptoms of adhd from symptoms of depression. My behaviour is a result of alot of things including my environment. 

That being said doctors are usually shifty and you generally need to want to be there and willing for therapy or diagnostic tests to work.

I think before trying to redeem his relationship he should try and seek help from a specialist. Find himself, accept his flaws and wrong doings, insecurties and everything else that could have a hand in shaping him as the person he is. If Abhi was someone I knew in real life, I would try my best to get them some help even if they're 50+ 

But this is expecting waaýyyy tooo much from an ITV show. Mental health issues are still a taboo in many asian societies. It's 3:30am here and I've started to become way too realistic for a fictional show. 😆


I get that feeling. It’s 7 am here and i have no idea why i’m still awake. I should be working if i’m awake but my brain is fried  and i need to sleep 😪

I become wacky, poetic and really deep late in the night and when i’m sleep deprived

I know for a fact that my dad experiences bouts of depression. My grandmother had depression so it is genetics, but my mother told me my grandparents noticed a lot of odd behavior in my father since childhood such as extreme OCD and routine keeping as well as an avoidance and dislike for social interactions altogether (but they just thought that was his personality rather than anything else because they weren't educated and even most educated people don't understand mental health), then my mother noticed it after she came after marriage, and then I and my siblings noticed that he was very emotionally distant from us in that he never really shows us affection or displays any real emotion at all (other than irritation and anger). It's why his cousins also call him a human robot and the exterminator because he appears emotionless and is very repetitive in speech and actions 😆  Unfortunately it is these symptoms of my father that causes a lot of friction between my parents and my/ my siblings and our father. Literally my dad has never hugged or said I love you or beta to his children. In fact even if I sit next to him or stand next to him to talk to him he moves away or moves places. Imagine your father not wanting to take you out anywhere because he comes up with 1000 excuses under the sun as to why we should avoid going out anywhere, then for example in childhood on a sunny day he would decide to take us to the park, only to not even play with us and only stand far from us on the pavement of the park so as to avoid the grass getting his shoes dirty. 😆

That’s tough man. It isn’t easy to look beyond the kind of feelings such behaviour, even if it is unintentional, leaves behind. You clearly see beyond it and are sorted in your thoughts so kudos on that. 

For your dad though, it definitely sounds like he’s on the spectrum but again it is very hard for people on the spectrum to cooperate generally and here you are talking about a south asian male (at least i assume you are) that’s even worse.  You’re going to need a really invested professional if you want it to go anywhere but really, there isn’t much anyone can do in terms of autism besides learn to deal with their behaviour and understand why they react in a certain way. 

On of the hardest things for me was to separate the love father in my dad from all the resentment i had for him. To love him and yet acknowledge that he made some really terrible mistakes and he probably will never even realise the extent of damage he has unintentionally caused. It’s kind of like that for you and your siblings too. The necessity of seperating all the good in him from what you could never get from him. It’s as hard to do as it’s easy to say. Personally it took me years to get here but it’s important for you to do it so you don’t carry generation trauma and can live a better life yourself.

Yep south asian! yes so it seems you have experiences very similiar feelings of resentment towards your father that I and my mother/ siblings have been but no matter what we do, he neither sees any wrong in the way he behaves with his own family members and he simply talks to us like crap and walks out of the room and roams around the house talking to walls and moving things around until he calms down whenever we try and have a normal convo with him. The biggest challenge is getting him to listen without him getting angry or interrupting us.

Speaking of trauma, man if kiara is alive she is going have such trauma backing her. I think Mehra’s just need family counseling. Wouldn’t it be cool if a show actually showed something like this. 

It could be entertaining and yet show something important at the same time. But since when does ITV actually care about good content
