Natz - I think we are closer than we think to the Pride & Prejudice mould of "how women should be". We should be accomplished, and pretty, and witty. Failing all that, we should be filthy rich. The specifics might have changed, but essentially we are stuck in the same trap - we should be articulate, intelligent but not too intelligent (not a "bluestocking"), we should know how to drive, how to dress to impress, how to behave in certain situations, how to be a good mother, how to please a man, and we should be drop dead gorgeous. And failing all this, we should have a good dowry to entice the flies .

I'm not saying that this is the scenario everywhere, in India or worldwide; but women's "rights" certainly aren't where they should be, or where we are misled to believe they are.

@others - excellent posts - will respond in the morning. Night!

Vasu and Nutz,

The epi wasn't bad...the first argument scene was quite interesting and I loved how fired up the entire family was against the idea of FORTY TWO year old (emphasized like a THOUSAND times in that scene) Ram marrying 22 year old Ayesha.

It was all going good until the latter half...ok so firstly WHAT kind of "rajkumar" sapna is this which ONLY involves a RICH man who can buy everything for you?? Is this how superficial everyone is expected to be? I didn't know.

Random thing I found quite ironically hilarious...RAM can't be called a "ladka"...he is a FORTY TWO year old AADMI as Priya shouted multiple times...but Priya toh considers herself a LADKI at the age of 33?? Quite amusing😆

Ram being emotionally blackmailed by his family on the other end...quite typical...Vikram's points were valid and could be shown as something Ram could dwell on but the rest of the leechad family and their "logic" is such a turn off the way Ram gives in so blindly each time too...but oh well.


The entire situation is moving forward at a very contrived quick pace...unconvincing writing but whatever...guess we have to take it.


Ayesha's point of view works for her and the mother...good for them...my only concern is that given the way Ekta Maayi's brain works on these kind of tracks, this has full potential of turning into one of those creepy sister tries to seduce her jeeju for his money etc. kind of tracks in the long run...they showed it in KS with Pia as well...ughhh

Now everyone will know tomorrow that the rishta was for Priya and RP will go on to get married...but how will Ayesha view all this long term?? Will she be all like, "oh I lost my chance to marry a super rich guy who will buy me choppers?"

very nice post and great observation .

Ooo Vasu! Amazing post as always!

I have to agree with you about today's episode thought... Even though the twist was the same old ghisa-pita "bride swap" one, the way it was handled (at least at Priya's side) made it a bit more interesting to watch. I really loved their argument initially - I loved how natural it was! Sab aisey hi larhte hain family mein jab kuch hota hai! In fact I can say for a fact k I've had a handful of these arguments with my mom in the past two months too.. And while it may seem odd k family mein ho k aisey larhte hain, I think the fact that it IS family makes it that much easier to be so open and so uninhibited in front of them. I really loved Priya's "main bhi uski behen hoon" and the haq with which she was resilient in her stance. None of that abla-naari, tears-in-my-eyes type deal! I really liked that! 😃

I have to say k this show's sole saving grace are Priya and Ram's characters and the way they interact with themselves and everyone else. Really.. If she had cast ANYONE else in this role or if the characters hadn't been who they are or if they didn't fit so intriguingly well together, I would have called quits on this show a long long time ago! Mere mein na himmat hai na sabar to put up with Shipra or Nuts or Mama jee or any other random character. Seriously.. at least for me, RP have clearly pulled in 90% of the audience who watch the show! Anyone else and I can say without a doubt k this should would have fallen flat on its face. 😆

hi i had been reading ur analysis silently

u write very well.

total different views than what we see


i had wrong impression of ayesha and i just wrote she was being greedy

but as u say mayb she was being practical here

still something didnt seem right then also


there was something else

nuts seemed softer from past two episodes

one where priya blasted out her anguish and one yday

but i also felt she does care a bit for ram.


third was the hilarious repetition of woh 42 ka hai aur ayesha 22 ki

oh man i was counting and i think it was repeated 6times atleast 🤣

LMAO!! I guess you have to hit the 40 year mark to be classified as an "admi/aurat".. 🤣 40 sey neechey sab "larkey/larkiyan".. Especially if you fall below 40 too! 😛🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I really do not want to see another "jealous sister" track - seriously! Ye behenain kahan sey milti hain Ekta ko! My sisters would never try to seduce my husband for his money or hold my marriage against me (all hypothetical of course)! Toh ye kaunsi flimsy character wali behnain milti hain Ekta ki mahaan-heroines ko (not to say that Priya's a typical Ekta heroine)! Sari mahanta bass un k parents apni us beti mein dal dete hain jo main lead hoti hai.. The other one they throw to the dogs as far as parwarish and "sanskar" are concerned?!

LMAO seriously Fivr, I toh find it funny anytime she refers to herself as ladki...is she a GIRL?? From what angle, pray tell?😆...She's a WOMAN...and the irony was never more hilarious than in the scene today when she's shouting at the top of her lungs that Ram is an AADMI, not a LADKA😆...Yes, Ram is more "buddha" than her, so to speak but she is not exactly the picture of sprightly GIRLINESS either😆


And I do dread a lame "sister hitting on her jeeju track"🤢🤢🤢...Given Ekta's track record, she's used it in like EVERY soap of hers...anytime there is a lame misunderstanding of this sort...this is how it goes in the long run...and they've made a big deal out of showing Ayesha's attraction towards money and the perks that come with it...the only possible way to avoid it is to get Ayesha married to the only other bachelor remaining in that house...Ram's other stepbrother😆...how much more hilarious would that be?? The ENTIRE Sharma parivaar ke kids get married into the Kapoor clan?😕😆
