Life isn't all ha ha hee hee - Page 5

I have no idea what makes this creep tick...but what ever it is...he is a sick loser...I can't believe I am wasting my time having to watch this creep...

@Anu...today's epi with the kids was  a cockeyed idea.  Doesn't RM have a garden or a backyard where the kids can play?But then again, how would they justify the model to be destroyed.And all the ruckus in RM.

me too i also thought shyam was someway connected to khushi😭

Today was an okay epi.  The whole cartoonlike predictable escapade in the house was nice - although I preferred yesterday's comedy situation much more.  Tomorrow the children will apologize, ASR will mellow a bit after his 'whatever' and I am so hoping that he has packed that tiffin with a practical joke (please please have it so tightly sealed that Khushi has to pull extra hard to open it and flour lands on her - and just have ASR say 'you're welcome', uff I would love it), and our story will move forward onto the puja that is imminent.

But the point of this post is not about the comedic relief, as my title indicates (if you haven't read Meera Syal's novel that is the title of this post or the prequel Anita and Me, do, they are a treat), it's about Shyam.

Shyam is a character that is a bridge between the two houses.  He has weaseled his way into Khushi's starting from the izzat save in Lucknow (was that on purpose, has he been following her from before or after the news story?  so many questions!) and is the lynchpin to Anjali's happiness. 

What exactly is his purpose?  Why does he have to turn into 100% villain?  I had high hopes for this character.  I had hoped that he had a connection to Khushi's past.  I had hoped that the circumstance under which he had married Anjali would reveal something about why he entered Khushi and Anjali's lives.  But now, with each episode, I am watching this character devolve into your run-of-the-mill womanizing psycho.  Lies upon lies, obssessive lust upon lust.  With each one of his 'I will have you Khushi!', I want to scream 'WHY!!!"  Why her?  None of that has been answered.  And now they are showing him manipulating everyone he meets to protect his deviant habits.

I had hopes for Shyam, but now I realize he is just another concocted sleazebag without a purpose...or rather with the sole purpose of being a thorn in the ArHi love story.  I don't think the CV's thought to give him a meaning or significance beyond that.  What a waste of a great actor.

i keep defending CVs 😆😔
i do not agree that abhas is getting wasted , actually  i feel he makes us hate shyam more
but still watch him 😆 if he was in a romantic or heroish role i am sure girls would have gone gaga over him 😆  but i still feel that his body language, face expression are apt for shyam
and howmuch ever i hate and get irritated with shyam and CVs😡  at the end i end up appreciating abhas now dont you think CVs were smart there

yeah even i was hoping shyam will be long last  brother of kushi. hmm i have lost hope on that.
more and more day goes by , i feel it is indeed going the way Shehr e Dil Ke Darwaze
but then  it may be more tuned for SP audience but that is also not a good point 😆

so  now i do not dwell much on will they keep shyam +ve or arnav will insult kushi etc etc
i am just going to enjoy the arhi chemistry and wait patiently for arnav self realization.

i of course had no hopes from pervert's character from da start even when his fake dabaang bracelet was shown in june epis. since this is yet another indian show i did expect him to be a mere villain but he did shock me with da affection shown towards anjali and trying to close da bridge between naani & arnav

apart from that his character is showcased as a confused sick man. im sorry guys although i refer to him as pervert, i dont see him as a extreme psycho path who wants kushi badly. his desire to have kushi is not properly justified. if u take movies like anjaam & darr, da intensity and desire of possessing da ladies are justified by da psycho characters played by srk but here, shyam is not given a proper space to lure his desires. this is why this character has failed to make a huge impact in me

I agree with you.

This post has focused on Shyam's characterization with some excellent analysis, and as always drawn the best brains on the forum/ So I ask you guys-  I was wondering where you excellent thinkers see the story progressing once he is unmasked. 

Specifically, who do you think will be on Khushi's side, and who will be against her? 

my two cents: I think this track of Khushi-ASR married yet living in hell will be the impetus in moving the Payal-Akash story line as well.
If there is nothing to bring them together, some project, or mystery or something, we will be as old as Nani-ji  by the time they go out in broad daylight  for a platonic walk. After all, how many times can Akash intentionally damage his car over the years to go to Happy Ji's garage and check out the his laundry loving lass?

Khushi will be be unhappy and tormented for something Payal knows is untrue. She might need Akash's help to find out of this is something Shyam has done before, maybe back in Luknow. The scope is there for Payal to approach Akash to tell him, your Jija-ji is a creep, and we have to help our cousins, so lets work together and fall deeper in love while doing Devi Ma''s work.

My question is, where do you think Nani will fall in this situation?  Is there any scope for Lavaniya to be helpful to Khushi, even after losing out to Khushi in the marriage race? And Anjali? is she dead inside,  or does she have the greatness to warn to ASR to not take his grief and rage out on his wife?

@Neethi - Why is he head over heels?  I mean why Khushi - we have no clue. Did he stalk her or was that one time on tv enough to make him a cuckoo??  Just such a random obssession.

Honestly. I don't understand where Shyam's character is heading to. It's all misty and mysterious. Why is he so hell bent on marrying Khushi? She is just an ordinary girl part of a mediocre family. Why her of all people?
