The dadi has her annoying moments but in all honesty she is a pretty realistic dadi in a way too.

That is definitely true *nods head* In most middle class families in India, which is what Navya's family basically is - upper middle class- abhi bhi they consider marriage to be the most important thing for a girl :S It's definitely not something I like or agree with or anything , but it's true...they still have that whole way of thinking , you know...ki padhai toh khatam kar li hai, graduation ho gayi, ab ladka dhoondo :S

Take my grandmom for example. She never nags my sister about getting married nor does she have ANY opposition to education for women and working and the hours my sister keeps or anything , but if you ask her what she wants my sister to do , then she'll say "Get married into a nice family'. Not 'Be awesome-r at work and get promoted and get loads of freebies and give them to me.' Which is what I would say :P

My sister works for Revlon :) Hence.

Unlike Anant's creepy family...lol...his grandpa was the professor in Seven...I told you some days back, remember? Hence the creepy expressions since he had to be all "mysterious" in that show too😆

Okhay...isliye buddha aise hai...freak-ster :/ Anant's family is just weird, I swear...I think I was saying this to Amy , that they seem to be slightly dysfunctional to me...saath rehte toh hai, but I can't see any sort of bonding...too many undercurrents of tension and discontent in the house...the only genuine equations I've seen are of Anant-Nimisha and Anant-Mom :S

Pata nahi :S Ab thoda zyaada catering-to-SBS-tastes ho raha hai...interviews are fine, but baaki I dunno :P I watched it, because I'm jobless. I haunt IF all day...do saal ki bharpai ho rahi hai ab :P :P

You know the channel they shot it for ? It's called E24 aur woh channel hi aisa hai...it's like the IndiaTV of music/cinema channels :P You should just take a look at the chick who hosts the TV segment...peroxide blond+really fake eyelashes+humongous tattoo on bicep. Scary.

and well, brothers ARE that annoying. My brother is just as annoying as Navya's brother but he calls me moti instead of bandariya! 😛

Oh yeah, I saw those videos.. Saumya is ACTUALLY Navya.. The way she talks and all, totally Navya! 😆 She's nice.. I like her.. Lol her brother calls her rotlu? 😆 I call my friend that, she whines about EVERYTHING which makes me want to hit her at times.. 😆 Waise, is there any YT account where I can see their BTS segments? LOL yeah she is TOTALLY Navya...a bit spacey too😆...but yeah nice girl...sweet :-)...ahhh I don't think any one single account has all their vids...they're kinda scattered around...but here's a few more of Shaheer and Soumya's TT interviews:

Ouchhh! That's sounds horrible! 😆 I hope there is no track of marriage or anything abhi.. I'm quite happy with the way things are going.. Yeh ideal bahu ka track 1 saal baad k liye rakhen please! 😛 LOLLL eggjactly...this stuff shouldn't be anywhere on the horizon anytime soon either...hope SP shows some BRAINS in dealing with this show...they haven't marketed it as a AN are going to get married sooon kinda show either...so let's see if they stick to that too😆

That's true...I heard Bekaboo about a week after the show had gone on air , then I went on YT and checked out some of the AN scenes which had been uploaded, and I didn't like it :S Thoda context mangta hai :P Phir I watched full epis beginning se, try maarne ke liye, and like I said, they grew on me slowly...and waise bhi I liked the natural feeling the show had from day one :) So I hung on...and you can see my sig box now *peers at it distrustfully*

🤣 Oh Shreya I've missed these descriptions of yours...especially the ones you do of the Aaj Tak segments😆

*preens*

Yeah I agree that they are overdoing their "publicity" funde now...they need to relax...ROZ segment dikhaane ki zaroorat nahin hai ppl...show it when something really moves in the storyline and all...aise contrived segments just look dumb...

I know 😆 SBS/SBB/blah blah overload ho gaya hai abhi...achanak se they're everywhere ...which would be okay if we could get to see interviews of the writers and producers as well...something these serial-hanger-on shows never do...the producers, directors, writers- these people are the ones actually controlling the stuff...so I'd really like to know what their whole vision for the show is, and what they envisage for the characters and stuff...par yeh log toh shoot karenge Shaheer waving a fakey, plastic flower in front of the camera with the 'journalist' simpering "Yeh KYA Anant, aap toh foool bhejna hi bhool gaye!"

It'll be saying a lot about the channel when I tell you that this segment was preceded by the saasumayein from Saathiya competing with each other to drape a saree on the 'journalist' the fastest...a really ugly, glittery saree that too...and the reporter wasn't, uh , the sort of person who's cut out for sarees...so she actually ended up looking like Pumbaa from The Lion King would look if you made him wear a saree.

I re-read what I wrote, and I just realised why I'm 16 PHOREVER in your mind Anu :(

You know I realized another reason why I find this show refreshing till now...a whole 3 weeks of their interactions without any trip-catch😆...yeah she daydreams about him all the time and is all besotted and stuff but in comparison to a LOT of the TYPICAL sort of crap on TV, this isn't bad at all😆

LOL VERY true 😆 as far as the day-dreaming is concerned, people actually do that so I don't mind that either...plus she's funny when she does it :P Haan , her daydreaming is slightly OTT- I mean , koi pakoda haath se utha lega aur pata nahi chalega ?! Hein ? PAKODA ?! - but yeah...and the age-old question of course...Why isn't he calling ?! :P :P :P

But APPP , nazar na lagao :P Kya pata kal-parso mein hi waisa kuch dikha de :P :P

I saw that segment where Shaheer-Soumya were talking about how the show has taken a great opening and everyone's liking it...hope they can sustain this refreshing aspect cuz I think that's what ppl are liking...they haven't gone the typical love story route yet...the precap voiceover also always mentions..."Pyar abhi Anant ke dimaag se koson door hai" or something like that😆...I want that to be maintained...no overnight love shove hopefully.

Yeah me too...if they've seen that people are responding favourably , I hope they understand why exactly as well 😆 the writers and producers I mean..kyunki , the few Indian shows which have actual USPs seem to forget them themselves...wahi ghisi-piti route lenge toh no one's going to give the time of the day to them...waise bhi it's competing against Uttaran I think...which inspite of being crap still rakes in TRPs :S Haan the precap mamu...he's made that quite clear but fangirls ko kaun samjhaye...they still want 'indications' , they say...jab feelings hai nahi as such , khaak ke indications milenge...they should just be happy with the WOAHHH song :P Which I think is that Pehla Pyaar song from the new promo..

LOL let's see if they do understand the WHY of the high ratings...lol...I'd LOVE to see Uttaran getting beat at last *prays fervently* Colors needs some reality checks :P...lol yeah I saw that "pehla pyar" song promo...that song is crap too...ughhh😆...seriously fangirls need to relaxxx...the forum is quite hyper types...no wonder dhang ki discussion ka scope hi nahin...everyone in there is only crying about "oooh Anyaaa need to get together ASAPPP" LOL...I love precap waale Maamu! Hope he keeps on saying that about Anant for a whileee😛😆

LOL yes exactly...that is still how most nani-dadis think to this day in any average middle class family...My naani also isn't opposed to education or women working...in fact she's always encouraged everyone in the family to go out and make their careers...but at the end of the day, she also will come back to the marriage discussion and how ultimately we all need to find nice boys and settle down IN TIME and not become spinsters...lol...she says all this all nicely though and not in the way Navya's dadi does in the taunting fashion😆

LOL...same here :D Abhi she's happy though because Junior Budhiya is finally getting married next year :P Jr. B. is my sister. My mum is Medium B. and my grandmom Senior B. :))

I am young. 😎

Oooh your sister works for Revlon?? coool!

I know right ? :D Loads and loads of freebies :)

Re: Anant's family...yeah so true about the dysfunctionality and the lack of GENUINE bonding b/w most of them...only Anant-Nimi and Anant-mom are the ones that have genuine equations like you said...the rest of them just have tension among each other and way too much discontent/discord.

Haan toh...usually aise serial ke families mein you have some alliance-type thingies and some feuds..idhar all the typical characters are there - sushil elder bahus, scheming bhabhi, dominating dadaji and dadaji-ka-beta, suppressed chota beta wagera wgaera , but I haven't seen ANY sort of actual interaction or something...I mean, whatever equations we've seen are very unhappy ones I'd say.. Anant's chachaji is clearly not respected by anyone in the family, except Nimi and I daresay Anant...the dadaji and bua-dadi keep everyone under their collective thumb...Anant's dad is too concerned with his dad's approval of what he does vis-a-vis his family , he doesn't seem to be the sort of husband/father the wife/son would take into confidence...Anant's chachi is clearly unhappy with the way everyone treats her husband and she blames him for it too...and the brother might turn against Anant in the future or something with his wife's instigation...given that their mother clearly favours Anant and everything :S Bahut unhappy si family lagti hai mujhe...particularly in contrast to Navya's family , which is very tightly-knit ad welcoming...Navya's parents and sister are on such good terms with Ritz and Appy as well...

I honestly firstly don't see Navya being ready for marriage from any angle anytime soon and upar se LEAST of all to settle in THIS nightmarish setting...I really hope they don't make this is a case of Navya becomes "ideal bahu" overnight and sets out to "sudhaaro" Anant's family wala fundas😕😕😆

I just hope the settling-down aspect doesn't come into play for a long,long, long , LONG time 😆
