Season 3 shouldn't have existed

Caution: Very long rant ahead. Skip it if you want.

Not a single character in this season is root worthy. I repeat not a SINGLE CHARACTER Including subs favs radhi and reena.

Arjun : The most inconsistent character ever. What is his goal/purpose?

He went from becoming CEO for father's wish to going back to college to become doctor. He is doing worse job in both the roles. He has full rights to move on with another woman. So no comments on that. Though I am sure makers will ruin his character more to make a way for his end game with reena.

Vijay : He is amazing as a father. But as a love interest? Do makers even remember what they wrote before? He loved radhi for years. Then got attracted to anu. It was fine till then. But this aradhana angle? So damn uncomfortable and creepy.

It doesn't look like heartbeat, it looks like aradhana beat with her having numerous tracks with multiple characters.

Radhi : I don't get her. She can never maintain the balance. If she wants reena, she will ignore her other family members, if she wants her family then she ignores reena. There is a chance that she can have cancer. She doesn't even want to take tests adamantly? Does she forget the fact that she has other two kids who need their mother and a loving husband who was nothing but supportive towards her despite all her lies ?

She wants vijay to understand her despite hiding truth about his daughter. But now happily letting reena hide truth from him. Not once she told reena, you should tell vijay about it.

Why does she gives little consideration to other people but wants everyone to understand her and make things easy for her?

When she said If it turns out cancer, then she will see it as karma for her mistakes. It really felt like emotional manipulation. She was doing nothing but guilt tripping reena. I don't mind her being selfish if it is for right reasons. But it is getting harder for me to sympathise with her.

Reena : The biggest hypocrite of the series. She has different rules as per her convinence. It is face palming moment when she said everyone hide truths from me so it's okay if I hide just one truth.

Is she for real? Is this how she takes accountability? By blaming others for her mistakes?

There was literally no need to lie to vijay. That man was absolutely okay with her staying back just to take care of radhi reports. Why would he mind if she stays in her house?

Atleast radhi and arjun were guilty when they were hiding truth. Reena literally has zero guilt. Happily telling rocky she got great plan.

And of course again makers diverted the attention of audience from reena's mistakes. Whenever reena does something wrong, makers make sure to throw other character under the bus so that people can overlook her flaws.

This time too same gonna happen. After radhi, arjun, it is vijay's turn. Reena as usual doesn't need any accountability or character development.

Rocky : A sidekick to reena. Nothing more. Sometimes they try to show him as serious doctor only to show him as comedy piece in next scene. He has family, career, love life yet it feels like his whole life revolves around reena. Whenever there is rocky reena scene, the topic of discussion is always about Reena. Everytime. Never once the discussion is about rocky and his life.

And Rocky who told Vijay he should tell kidney truth to reena or else she might go away from him too couldn't open his mouth and advice reena to tell truth to vijay strongly by saying you are doing mistake. Instead he blindly supports whatever he does.

Overall not a single character is rootworthy for me.

The most anticipated mother daughter equation reduced to dramatic cancer, emotional manipulation & lies. There is nothing organic or authentic about this bond now.

No character learn from their mistakes. It's the same pattern of butcher one character to elevate anothor one.

In season 1 there were 5 interns. All five got individual track with balance of love arcs too. Even the nurse character had good arc.

Now even main characters became irritating.

No hopes on remaining episodes. I can already see where it will go.

Heartbeat original essence

Heartbeat was never about love stories. Love track had always been an important side track in every season.

The main storyline of this show was mother daughter bond, then friendship followed by platonic bonds. Only after that love angle is given importance.

Radhi reena conflict, the core five friendship where each character having their own arc.

In season 2, lots of changes happened due to Vijay's entry. Despite his popularity and people love for vijay radhi pair, makers never planned to unite vijay radhi by making dev villian like typical serial.

They showed vijay dev in mature way. Despite flaws in season 2, the show still had mother daughter tension, friendship of og gang.

In season 3, introducing new parallel love interests, spending huge portion of screen space on them, on how arjun reena trying to move on is absolutely unnecessary.

Because it did nothing but damage to their characters. Arjun reena were fine when their track was treated as side track not as main one.

In season 2 itself, due to manasa and all, their relationship started getting monotonous. Where they keep getting seperated then united. That whole friendship angle which served nothing new.

In S3, it is shown that they never contacted each other for a year. How we as an audience supposed to connect with such love where not once they tried to reach out each other and solve conflicts. They had whole year. They were seperated & trying to move on because their love is not strong. No other reason.

Honestly arjun didn't do such severe mistake that reena should ghost him for an year.

But here we are talking about Reena who abandoned even ganesh uncle for an year for god knows what reason.

She might think her every closed one will wait for her or beg her to take them back even if she ghosts them.

But in arjun case, it backfired on her. She was shown considering dating kathir too. Her colleague said reena has crush on kathir. So she genuinely had interest in him.

Arjun on other hand for whatever reasons moved on with madhu. He is officially in relationship with her. He is assuring her again and again.

It would be better if makers just let them be instead of trying to forcefully unite arjun reena. Because arjun reena will happen only at the cost of more butchering of their characters.

They would come across as morally wrong people who led on other people then get back with their ex by making their current partners scapegoats.

Or another version is making new love interests negative to make a way for lead pair union.

Either way, it would look like they reunited because of circumstances not because they fought for their love.

I get that people still want their reunion. I can understand the sentiment. But personally I think the show now should focus on main conflict of mother daughter, vijay radhi getting closure by forgiving each other, reena relationship with her parents.

If they wanted to focus on arjun reena. They could have showed proper angst where they were unable to move on even when others showing interest but them misunderstanding by thinking other one is moved on.

Not whatever is happening right now.

Them crying one day by saying we should move on then acting casually as friends the next day. It's just looks forced.

Different opinions are welcome.

Arjun getting free pass by completely villanizing madhu

Before anyone call me arjun hater, I was the one who made comments for him by bashing reena when she was entertaining kathir in earlier episodes.

I am seeing pro arjun posts and comments everywhere after latest reveal.

I am not saying one shouldn't praise him. But I also see many hate posts on madhu where it is portrayed like she forced babyboy arjun into relationship with her.

Madhu is toxic. Agree. But is arjun a saint? Isn't he in his 30's? Is he that fickle that he will entertain other women easily just because he is alone?

He has kumar anna, his friends yet we are supposed to give him benefit of doubt that he is with madhu only because he is alone?

For suppose if he marries reena, some fight or seperation happens between them. What's the guarantee that he won't entertain other women too if she gives attention "because he is alone".

Why we are infantalising a grown up man in his 30's at the same time putting full blame on college going girl.

People don't like madhu kissing arjun after seeing reena. Fair enough. But they don't have any problem with arjun who didn't mind madhu kissing him infront of reena?

Instead he assures her that nothing changed between them.

He is the one who kissed madhu on his own will.

He is the one who is enjoying madhu kisses until he saw reena.

Even after that, he is telling madhu how she should smile often.

It is arjun who is supposed to stay loyal to reena if his love is true. But he is clearly enjoying other woman's attention and happily dating her.

But madhu is major problem? People want other characters to put madhu in "place" and understand arjun?

When people fav characters do irritating stuff - It is writing fault.

But when characters like madhu act irritating - It is madhu's sins.

Within year of seperation, reena shows interest in kathir. Arjun dates madhu. But we are supposed to root for this couple end game because arjun gave his kidney?

Kathir and madhu who were led on by arjun reena should be made scapegoats to pave a path for lead pair end game?

While arjun and reena face zero consequences for leading on other people. Because they are leads. And the thing called emotional cheating doesn't exist here.

Watching pavitra rishta for the first time

So far varsha character is looking sane. It's odd that manav saw archana 2-3 times and fell in love. Archana's sister in law character looking okay as for now. As I watched only till the episode where she slaps her brother for defaming archana.

The pace is very slow. Waiting for their marriage track.
