i'll ask everyone to skim through this post before answering the poll.
I know jeevika fans may not like what i am saying. But this is solely my opinion, and i have valid reason for having this. and i want to get the view of everyone here, which is why the poll. hope u guys see where i am coming from, because when i started watching the show, it was the theme of the show that attracted me.
so it is a dismay to see that cv's ka zyada zor jeevika ki love life pe hai. i mean, yes, we all want the love story to be there. but, wud've liked to see more of the theme as well.

so...
wasn't jeevika's world supposed to revolve around manvi? just like manvi's revolved around jeevika?
that is how we were introduced to the show right. all the promos abt jeevika promising manvi "main tujhe kabhi chhor ke nahi jaungi".
then the very first episode itself we saw her AGAIN making that promise
now that her rishta is fixed, why hasn't that promise been brought up EVEN ONCE by jeevika?
she IS going to be leaving manvi, yet i really can't feeel THAT IMMENSE level of DEPRESSION that i had expected to feel from jeevika's end, on having to leave manvi.
i have more than once brought this point up, on one thread or the other, but i feel it's about time to create a topic on this. because i REALLY am confused.
right now, what i see from jeevika, we see from EVERY OTHER SISTER, in EVERY OTHER DRAMA.
but wasn't this one supposed to have that SPECIAL bond b/w the sisters?
where both the sisters r each other's worlds.
manvi told virat's mom that jeevika can do anything for her.
to be very honest, the ONLY "anything" type of thing that jeevika has done is stop beeji from scolding manvi on karva chauth's night. and later on she started crying abt having hurt beeji.

like , WTH. from the very first episode, if i didn't knwo the theme of the show, i wud've said that the theme was how much jeevika loves her beeji, and her family. but i wud'nt have said that the theme is a UNIQUE SISTER BOND.
manvi though, from the very start, all of her words, all of her actions, has been about jeevika. she keepss sitting alone talking to god and her parents ABOUT JEEVIKA. NUMEROUS times we have seen this. she talks to virat of ONLY JEEVIKA. she talks to everyone abt jeevika only. like, from manvi's character, it is EVIDENT that her world revolved around jeevika. that she can't see ANYONE but jeevika.
but, be REALLY honest here, have u felt that SAME level of feeling from jeevika's end?? because all i have seen jeevika doign since episode 1 is scolding manvi... on not pissing off beeji. we always see her warning manvi not to mess up things that cud break her marriage, because that wud hurt BEEJI. i m not saying that is wrong. but for me, that does not bring out the sister bond.
being sad now and then, ek do baar aansu baha dene (that too only when she sees manvi being sad, or when someone else brings up manvi - like viren) - that is wht every sister does. but jeevika was supposed to be this "mother-like" figure for manvi na? a mother is supposed to be devastated at having to leave her kid. have we seen that level of devastations from jeevika's end? in one word, nope.
so, am i wrong to feel that LACK of sisterly bond from jeevika's end? the bond that this show was supposed to be about? i haven't until now seen jeevika doing ANYTHIGN SPECIAL for manvi. nothing that shud've made maanvi say "meri didi mere liye kuch bhi kar sakti hai".
abhi tak, infact, if i have seen jeevika doing "kuch bhi" for someone, it's been beeji.
even these few days yaar. like, the marriage so near. everything resolved with viren. but wht happened during the deewali patakhas and the card game? jeevika gives manvi pleading and warning loooks, requesting her to not mess things up.

wht abt feelingg a tear in her heart due to having to leave her WORLD (her manno) behind?????
i really would like to know what you guys think about it. i know not everyone would agree with me. perhaps i AM expecting a lot out of jeevika. but, i am expecting only wht i have been led to expect based on promos and story. the promos showed jeevika as having manvi as the center of her world. did i see that in the show so far? nope.
lastly, i know getting a cutie and perfect gentleman like viren as a future hubby can make ANY girl forget her sorrows

but still... i mean, jahan drama based hi sister ki bond pe hai, that sorrow can't be erased so easily. i am not talking abt simply sorrow yaar - i know jeevika is sad about leaving manvi. but that amount of sorrow we see in every other drama from every other sister. i was hoping to see somethign SPECIAL this time. i see that from manvi's end, infact i know even after virman have a thing going on, manvi wud be ALL ABOUT JEEVIKA.

but i don't see that level of adoration from jeevika's end.
So, the poll question: do you feel the lack of that SPECIAL sisterly attachment , from jeevika's end, for manvi? in terms of what you expected to see?, as per the THEME of the show, and the promos??
huh. long post. sorry

had to get it all out. let's see what you guys have to say.
oh and i made a poll, so make sure u answer the poll, AND make a post here.
