Yup me again giving another rant on Ishqbaaz. So this part is very focused on the salty.

Ishqbaaz: The Salty:

Sirf aur sirf salty:

Gul, Harneet, why did you give in to fans' demands when you weren't interested? So people, basically DBO would never really come if fans didn't beg Gul and Harneet for Om and Rudy's love stories. They were never really motivated for DBO. Out of majboori, they brought DBO. That's the truth. When DBO was introduced, there was a lot of articles about how the team gave into fan demands. 

In normal serials, the side characters get promoted to leads but in Ishqbaaz, the leads were demoted to side characters. How could the actors handle this? They waste all that precious time just to say 'ji?' or 'namaste' or 'theek hai'. Yaar they could have spent that valuable time some other way.

DBO was basically like 'let put random technology' or 'ooo a secret staircase sounds fun'....it was almost like a SCI-FI story. Arre Gul, we watched the show for romance NOT FOR FUCKING SCI-FI!

The Me Too track....Enjoy this rant people.....

Rape, molest, sexual harassment....these are quite serious topics and if they are to be shown on TV then they need to be shown properly. There are so many rape and molest victims who are still in trauma, the incident haunts them. How can someone get over what happened by a cake and a drive THAT WE DIDN'T GET TO SEE?

The Mona Lisa plan.....WHAT THE FUCK WERE THE MAKERS THINKING ABOUT? WHY WOULD SHIVAY MAKE HIS WIFE DRESS UP AND TRY TO GET CLOSE TO ABHIMANYU WHO HAS A DIRTY MIND? Why would you fucking do that? **bangs my head against a wall**

Yeah we spoke about this, understand me exaggeration and my sarcasm. 

Why did Rudy and Shivay stop Om from hitting Abhimanyu? Yaar this is a sign that disgusting people like Abhimanyu get let off too easily. Don't disagree with me on this matter because you know in some way I am right. Literally I would appreciate it IF OM BEATED ABHIMANYU UP! Now I can see that scene getting Ishqbaaz high TRP. These days disgusting people only get like what 10 years in jail when they should get A FUCKING DEATH SENTENCE! If that's not gonna be shown on TV, then at least show Om beating Abhimanyu up for touching his wife. 

Shrenu's acting in the Me Too track was amazing though. Can't deny it. I just wish they made the after results more realistic. I wish they maybe showed Gauri having a deep conversation with Om. You know what I already wrote an OS on this Me Too Track for Rikara...I was 13, don't judge my writing back then. I think I might write an OS on conversation BECAUSE IN A RELATIONSHIP COMMUNICATION IS KEY! 🔑 

Now back to everything else....

Why did they show Bhavya kicking Soumya in the face? Imagine a little girl who sat there and watched this one woman kick another woman in the face on TV. So in the future, if say her best friend likes the same guy she does, would she kick her best friend in the face? This is just an example but that kick scene, I personally feel that it sets a bad example for young girls or for young people in general. Since young people can be easily influenced by TV and if they saw Bhavya kick Soumya in the face, they would then think that yes violence is the answer. To make sure that your loved one is yours forever, you kick them. The situation in life is to kick someone! That's what they will think. 

NO! ONLY FUCKING KICK SOMEONE OR PUNCH SOMEONE IN SELF DEFENCE! THAT IS THE ONLY FUCKING TIME WHEN VIOLENCE IS ACCEPTABLE.

Also what happened to women supporting women? Bad message to young girls GUL!

What's the point of Veer in genera? Like think for a minute, in the beginning Roop didn't have a son and magically she has a son A YEAR AFTER ISHQBAAZ WAS ON AIR? Kya baat hai. Wouldn't Om, Rudy and Shivay have known that they had a cousin called Veer ages ago?

Could they show Jhanvi recovering from alcohol? Alcohol addiction is serious and I don't think in any serial, they've shown a character recovering from alcohol. It would have been unique and it could show alcohol addicts that yes recovery is possible. She just magically stops drinking alcohol.

RECOVERY IS NOT EASY! GUL HARNEET GET THIS IN YOUR MINDS!

ALCOHOL ADDICTIONS OFTEN HAPPEN BECAUSE OF MENTAL HEALTH. 

And like Jhanvi in a sense was depressed because her husband was cheating. 

If recovery in general was easy, my fucking mental health issues would have been gone by now but no. My road to recovering from my mental health issues is still going on and it's gonna take a while. They should have at least shown Jhanvi trying to get sober.

This is a rant about Gul....GUL IS THE MOST RUDEST PERSON EVER! Right so basically in 2018, this person on Instagram commented on Gul's post saying that when can we get something for Rikara. This was like in May or June 2018. I think it was June. Anyway Gul said something like 'go watch some other show if you have a problem'. And in general, she lashed at fans when they asked for something for Rikara or for Rudy. 

No character growth in Om and Rudy....just saying -

Nayi Soch...RIP. You came into this world hoping these producers would do justice to you but instead they mistreated you. Rest in peace Nayi Soch. You tried and I hope heaven treats you better.

Fake promises and hopes **my hope shatters**

Promos = misleading **my hope shatters again**

I will never understand that dog track. Pretty pointless if you ask me.

Forced marriage....**yawn**

...

Now everyone, here are some great exercises below to help with your imagination (y'all thank me for this):

Exercise 1: imagine what would Ishqbaaz and Dil Bole Oberoi be like if Ekta Kapoor was the producer?

Exercise 2: imagine what would Ishqbaaz and Dil Bole Oberoi be like if Rajan Shahi was the producer?

Exercise 3: imagine what would Ishqbaaz and Dil Bole Oberoi be like if Rashmi Sharma was the producer?

Now I am gonna go, will check your answers later. Me gotta go write my mum's birthday card. Also ranting is really fun, I actually love it. **no shame**
