Showviewer, I still hope this is going the way we thought ... 😛

I don't mind Umaben thinking Kaumudi is at fault in some ways ... but to lay all the blame squarely on her was completely below the belt ... which is what she did, when she said Mukut is a good son, a good brother, a good father, so how can he be a bad husband? In the same way she should ask herself, Kaumudi is a good DIL, a good mother, how can she be a bad wife? But that will mean acknowledging that her son is wrong, and with that her own upbringing is in question ... so Umaben will not go that route. Much easier to blame the DIL. Even though the DIL in question is the hand picked adarsh bahu!

Today I didn't mind the entire family siding with Kaumudi and holding Mukut completely to blame - he did come across as a completely self centred selfish jerk! Babuji said it correctly - Mukut has shouldered his responsibilities, but has not done justice to his relationships.

SO let's see where the cv's take this ... I still hope it's not a quick fix solution of pay the vamp off, or shame her into leaving and then Mukut comes back penitently ... the issues in their marriage should be addressed, and most of all, UB's role, as well as Mukut's chauvinistic ways should be brought out. Also that was twice in two days that Chhanchhan told Kaumudi that she needed to show Mukut her own importance in Mukut's life, and develop her self-confidence, so I hope that is shown as well.

I think Dadaji is leaving for the duration of the track ... with him there, there would be no clash between CC and UB as he would walk all over UB. Hopefully he will be back! 😃

although I didn't watch the epi but after reading all the posts in this thread now I can say I can recall all the moments as if I have actually watched them :-P I am just loving this show. and yes I too want cvs to explore this track a little longer and in depth. as usual the team is best. I think cast and crew of all those shows is great in which sanaya doll plays one of the lead roles :-P

You said it all.

Another good episode!

Loved your post Diya, and of course loved today's episode a lot!

Like you Dia, even though I agreed with UB's thoughts to a small degree, as soon as the words came out of her mouth I wanted to prove her wrong. I think her trying to understand where Mukut was coming from was justified because until this point he had been an exemplary son, brother and father so she was right to wonder what it was that stopped him from being the perfect husband too, I just feel that it happened too quickly. This is the first time I've felt the pace hampered the story and we missed some emotional exchanges that were needed, there should have been a scene of UB going over tho Kaumudi and hugging her or at least holding her hand and saying it would be ok. It was really sweet though to have Mansi go and stand next to Kaumudi. The cvs caved in to the camera man today and let him do his face panning...meri hi nazar lag gayi, I was so happy that this show avoided that scenario😭 I feel bad for Kaumudi because she didn't have any inkling at all of the state of her marriage or perhaps she did and not knowing what to do further buried herself in the role of being a good bahu. Chhan chhan made a valid point that Mukut was wrong because he didn't try to sort out his issues with Kaumudi and instead looked outside the home for companionship. Mukut is not inherently bad because though he could care less about society he did stop at the mention of his daughters. Talking of daughters I hope that Kaumudi's parents will also be brought to task for not instilling self esteem into their daughter...because that in itself would take care of a lot of wrongs against women in this world (sorry, I know I've mentioned this many times before but it's a pet peeve that just bothers me a lot). Anyway I guess CC is going to take care of that parental duty.

Great analysis Diya You said it all . Loved the episode ...all three bahus supporting Kaumudi and the touch of ChanMan in the end. I dont know why Manav didn't reciprocate when CC puts her hand forward and says lagy bet ? Waiting for todays epi.

Awesome analysis Diya...very well said...

What an explosive episode...PH is definitely listening...today they delivered as promised...the right amount of melodrama, great dialogues, performances upto the mark...

It seems like the Borisagars are being hit by one storm after another. There was too much of calm earlier...CC effect I must say!

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.

Absolutely agree...both partners first need to start communicating, being vocal about ones likes and dislikes to each other and a lot lot more.

I'd like to go back to Tuesday's episode and the Mukut-Manav convo. In flashback they showed Mukut approaching K to accompany him to a Sufi musical. K's answer was "I got to cook, R & S aren't here, Ba would have to do everything." She did not say, " I would love to come, can you speak to your mom about it, she won't agree if I ask her."

Now would R have given the same answer to Manek, had Manek been the one to ask her out? Definitely not. Ranjana would have applied all her tricks and found a way out to attend it. Atleast she would have tried her best.

So to some extent Kaumudi has allowed Ba and her husband to take advantage of her goodness and simplicity. Kamudi has not given priority to her wifely relationship.

My take on Ba and her blame game statement about Kaumudi. The fact that her husband reassured her that there was no fault in her upbringing considering Mukut never failed as a son, brother or father. Ba had every reason to blame Kaumudi. She has yet to realize she is responsible somewhere in choosing an incompatible partner for her sons. Arranged marriages are not wrong, but the couple getting to know each other a bit before marriage is very important.

From what they have shown about Mukut...like the time he accompanied Kaumudi to their village alongwith Manav on the wedding night. And the child asking for her father's help in doing her homework. Had Mukut never helped she would have complained that her father never did assist her. She would not have asked for him. Mukut's frustrations are directed exclusively towards Kaumudi and more so with Mayuri in his life he tends to compare.

The 10 lac transfer seems like a down payment towards an apartment for Mayuri, which Kaumudi might have overheard. Maybe I am wrong...can't wait for tonight's episode.

I also loved that the Borisagar family played dominance over CC in this episode. It was majorly their family problem, though CC spoke up when required.

And I hope PH does not close this track this week and jump onto something...and continues to give us amazing episodes like this one.

DD ji ... like the HW piece... I caught it too but missed posting on it... this means that he is attentive towards the kids too ... like his wife... however for me CC playing the whole thing down is not gelling -- maybe that's me ... and what if Mukut has strayed completely ? Will Kaumudi have to take him back? Forgive and forget... again not able to digest it ...Would like them to take a different path ... but doubt if they will...

Hey @newbie...see what I feel is that CC is a newcomer in this home..she is involved but not overtaking the matter. It has got to be Kaumudi who should be accusing her husband, she has to raise her voice about it...and at the same time do some introspection over the matter and see what went wrong and why..Its a very private matter. No doubt family is involved. But behnd closed doors K has to raise her voice.

Now I do believe if not Mayuri, there would be someone else he would turn to. When you look at the woman he chose as a friend, she is an exact opposite of his wife.

Has he not strayed completely? They might not be explicit about it. But I believe he has. Its not a hand-holding friendship.

About Kaumudi taking him back. It has to be solely her choice. We have the children to think about like CC said. They are the ones who get damaged most in such situations.

Dont know what route the PH plans to take this track. But I would also like that it is handled with maturity, sensibility and that both a man and woman learn from it.
