Till yesterday, I felt that Kaumudi bhabhi was as much at fault as Mukut ... today when Umaben said the same thing, I felt like contradicting her! Contrary much! 😛 But Umaben is right in a way ... I did feel the same ...

However, the way she said it, and Umaben's words as a mother reek of double standards. When Manav married a girl out of love, Umaben felt that the girl, Chhanchhan had tried to ensnare him for his money ... Mukut married a girl in an arranged marriage, and now she feels that the girl, Kaumudi must be at fault for not being a good wife and not living up to his standards. Either way, her sons are correct, and the girls are at fault! Sheer hypocrisy!
Umaben, have you ever stopped to look at either of your sons, and seen what they did and didn't do? 😡
Manav was the one who fell in love with Chhanchhan and was ready to leave the house for her. She did not ask him to leave his family for her.
And agreed, Mukut has been a good son, a good brother, a good father - not seen much of that yet 😕 ... but has he been a good husband? In the same way, why did Umaben not bother to think that Kaumudi has been a good DIL, a good mother ... why has she only failed as a wife? The fault in a breaking relationship is never one-sided, it always takes two hands to clap.

Similarly, Manav, Chhanchhan and the rest of the family have to accept that while Mukut chose the wrong way to deal with an unsatisfactory marriage, he had aspirations from his wife, which were not met. And rather than just blame him for everything, they need to figure out how Kaumudi as a wife can meet those expectations ... and also, how Mukut has to change himself and support her to change, rather than just blame her. Both have to change and meet halfway, not just one.

Chhanchhan did get some things right though ... two things, one when she stopped Mukut from leaving by talking about his kids ... okay, there he did show himself to be a concerned father 😊 ... and when she told Kaumudi that she needs to develop confidence in herself, then only could she help herself save her marriage. No one else can save it for her.

Poor Manav and Chhanchhan tried to keep things quiet, but Mukut bhai let the cat out of the bag himself! And he was pretty unapologetic about it too! If anything, he seemed relieved that he didn't have to live a double life any more.
But he made some very nasty and very hurtful comments about poor Kaumudi ... felt so bad for her! 😲And again, not ready to stand up to his parents ... he was ready to tell Kaumudi that he did not approve her as a bride for himself, why could he not tell his mother the same thing?

The whole family confrontation scene was good ... hopefully TRP maata approves 😛
The dialogues were good,and so was the acting ... Mukut was completely unapologetic, Babuji was furious, Umaben was completely distressed, her eldest son's dream marriage with an ideal bahu falling to bits ... and all the other family members were appropriately upset, especially for Kaumudi, everyone loves her. That's why Umaben's words came as such a shock to them all.

I liked the scene with the four bahus, the younger three trying to console Kaumudi, and Chhanchhan telling Kaumudi that she needs to have confidence in herself. That is the need of the hour - poor Kaumudi is already blaming herself for Mukut straying ... Baa's training has been a bit too good! 😡

The last Manav-Chhanchhan scene was cute ... Manav certainly has a lot of respect for Chhanchhan and complete faith in her problem-solving abilities, nice to see at least one husband in this family respects his wife. Apart from Babuji, of course, who worships the ground Umaben walks on. And nice to get a small dose of ChhanMan romance ... have been missing it! The dialogues were okay ... Chhanchhan has as much confidence in her own abilities as Manav does ... let's hope the confidence doesn't backfire!

So Chhanchhan wants to speak to Mayuri ... wonder what will happen next! Will Mayuri turn out to simply be in it for the money, or will there be anything more to her? And will Chhanchhan even get to meet her, with Kaumudi going missing? What did Kaumudi hear in the morning that prompted her to leave?

Yeppee. .me first 🥳

Very emotional episode. .[:'(]

As expected UB blamed koumudi. .loved the support of the DILs in such situations. .unlike UB,mathilal always supports whatever he feels is right and so supported his dil over his own son. .

chanman scene was short and cute ❤️

Already waiting for tomorrow's episode 😊

Loved the episode... great analysis Dia... I was upset with UB too... as she sort of laid the blame at Kaumudi's door... Supriya aced today's scenes... what a wonderful actress she is!!

San was good... Kaumudi was a bit inadequate... I somehow did not feel her pain and anger and distress... looked forced.

So Mukut is bent on going away/living with the other woman and the family is shattered... wonder which way UB is going to turn!

Does Kaumudi go away on CC's advise or does she go away by herself.

One question... Will they make Kaumudi take back the errant husband ...? Will they try swinging it the other way?

Dadaji -- please stay!!

A good epi again. Things that stood out for me.

1. Kaumudi shakes her head almost imperceptibly when Mukut is about to spill the beans. Lovely acting and body language there.
2. Mukut aced his scenes. Totally unapologetic and feeling relief that his double life is now out in the open. I could feel his emotions. For someone who has been chafing against the restraints of family and marriage, he emoted beautifully. For now this moment is all about him, his freedom and what he sees as an escape from the boredom of a loveless marriage. It will be interesting when he takes the blinders off and see things from others' POV.
3. UB was spot on. In line with her characterization. UB can never be wrong ergo her sons cannot be wrong for she has raised them. So, the fault has to lie on Kaumudi.
4. The family scene rocked. Loved Matilal pronouncing that Mukut can stay if he lets go of Mayuri. The disgust and the improbability of the situation brought out well.
5. The bahus scene was spot on again. Companionship. Support. We are in this together vibe. You could almost imagine Ranjana's horror of what if something like this happened to her.
6. CC-Manav. Loved their equation and how they stand as a unit be it explaining to family or divvying up roles.
7. Kaumudi. Her fears, the self blame, the feeling of being inadequate. Being hauled up in front of the entire family for her inadequacies. Beautifully done.

Kudos CVs for a beautiful episode.

I am completely at a loss as to where the creatives are going with this track...so will go with the flow and not build expectations. The dialogues of Chhanchhan and UB also did not give away the plot. Right now Chhanchhan clearly feels Mukut is wrong and wants to talk to Mayuri... that is the first order of things, save the marriage from complete breakdown and then deal with how to restore love and respect to it ie. help Kaumudi understand Mukut's frustration and vice versa. Right now the whole family is distressed...and Mukut is ready to leave the house.

Of course UB supports her son either it's the "man can do no wrong" syndrome or that her upbringing/ decision for him can't go wrong and Kaumudi failed Mukut and in turn UB. Agree Diya, it takes to two to tango, marriage works when both partners work on it, but as usual UB always finds faults with bahus who are perpetual outsiders despite being married into Borisagar family.

Liked the family scene , four bahus scene...all three supporting Kaumudi and the nice touch of ChanMan in the end.

From the precap it did not look like Chhanchhan, Manek or Manthan seemed very alarmed about Kaumudi leaving. Is this Chhanchhan's plan to make Mukut realise Kaumudi's value? Hope this not going to be a quick fix track...

Dadaji is leaving for ashram? 😔

A very good episode , could not find any faults .

The pace, drama , emotions , reactions of all characters was spot on. Yesterday I had some complaints from the episode like kaumidi's reaction , CC's dialogues etc but not tday.

Lets see the scenes I liked ...

The whole family scene in the living room was very good , everybody's reaction was what was expected and so unfortunately was UB's ...has to defend her son and then ofcourse worry abt the society etc. acting was spot on , it was nice to see pure disgust in manthan and ranjhan's face ...they normally donot have such serious expressions on their face ...the pace was good , everyone's reaction was shown and today kaumidi's distress was clearly evident and like I thought yesterday , she will blame herself.

Liked the way CC corrected UB saying its not kaumidi's fault but mukut , even UB to be fair to her initially scolded mukut , the whole,scene was very balanced ...the best dialogue was from matilal whe he said " zimmedari nibhayi hai , rishten nahi "

Got a very nice anuj , sanaya scene after a while ...loved the hug at the end , especially the way anuj smiled. And yeah , the sisterhood scene was very nice too .
The precap is interesting ...what is kaumidi heard that she has left the house and her leaving the house is definately not a plan as else ( as per sbs ) CC and manav would not be looking for her.

And oh yes , saw some BD's today of manav and CC 😆 , reminded me of old times but first time in 5 months , so well done PH.
