Better episode today ...
First ChhanMan scene ... adorable as always. Again I like the way they are showing Manav's extreme guilt about killing a guy, however unintentionally ... showing his inherent decency, even in the middle of his own trouble, he is worried and guilty about the man he killed, and how his family will manage. And love the way CC comforts him consoles him, tries to divert him ... a strong woman, a strong wife, not dissolving into fits of tears but trying her best to keep his morale up and hide her own fears and worries.
Anuj and Sanaya are really comfortable and SO natural in the role of husband and wife ... love their scenes. They bring a warmth and an ease to them that I haven't seen in too many married couples on TV. Really sad that we won't get much more of them ... they could be a sizzling jodi in a love story.

Chhanchhan, we also want an outstation trip for Manav and Chhanchhan once this court case is over!!! 😳

Family prays for Manav's safety ... nice touch. Umaben's call ... another nice touch ... They could have added a Sarabhai family call as well

Court scene ... thought I would cringe as the actors were quite bad yesterday ... went off better than I expected ... Chhanchhan, Rupali is right, don't celebrate victory before it happens! 😕 Broker's wife's volte face was expected, thanks to the precap ... CC's confrontation with her reveals the mangalsutra, which CC questions, and wife slides out of ... Rupali frankly admits that she paid the wife money to tell lies ... Rupali is enjoying watching Chhanchhan's worry and helplessness 😡 The actress playing Rupali was better today ... completely hated her!

Babuji and Dadaji worry about Manav ... is he going to have another heart attack, or was this a filler scene?

Again Manav worried and tense ... Chhanchhan tries again to cheer him up, and asks the kids to help ... good idea, they were really sweet ... and CC-Manav sharing a kulfi was cute 😳 Again Manav's tension and guilt about making a child fatherless surfaces ... reminded me of the time when he had sponsored a kid's education ... Chhanchhan worries again about Manav as he just can't get that out of his mind ... how can she help him?

CC-Kaumudi ... another bond I like ... Chhanchhan keeps her smile steady for Manav, but alone, her own worry and fears show on her face ... it's Kaumudi's turn to cheer her up and give her strength. And as CC confides in Kaumudi about Rupali, she remembers the mangalsutra again ... and decides to investigate ...
Just hope CC doesn't get into trouble now ... memories of her previous show coming back 😕

A better episode today .
What amazes me is the 100% that all actors are giving to the show ...when we the viewers have got dis interested in the show , ( let alone the ph and the technical team ) it is so good to see the actors giving their best , all of them.

The chanman scene was so nice ...loved the way when CC wakes up , she has a sleepy look on her face and it stays throughout the scene . Anuj is playing the guilty manav so well , liked the way when he sees the kids of his household enjoying , he thinks of the victim's kid. Liked the scene in which she takes the kids help to cheer up manav and even the court room scenes were better than I expected.

Sanaya has played this role with such poise and 'theraav' , the script has let her down as didn't have great dialogues etc but whatever she had and was given , she has done a good job. Again was looking lovely in the episode.

Did you notice , the judge has adjourned the case to 19 th sept 😆

Today there was lots of ChanMan and even more Sanaya, maybe that's why the episode seemed much better. Even though screenplay, especially of the court room drama and investigation is shoddy, the main set of characters are keeping it together. Kudos to Sanuj for not faltering in their commitment despite the show ending.

Rupali is getting a bit repetitive in her acting and expressions and the character is getting overconfident and she let the cat out of the bag. Chhanchhan will surely find out in the next few episodes that the dealer is alive.

Finally, Babuji was shown more worried, till yesterday I thought he looked quite calm for the situation his son was in. This family does put a lot of trust on churan 😆 Umaben heard of the case and called, hope she makes an appearance soon. I mentioned this yesterday too, Sarabhais not being shown is a glaring hole, they were always very concerned of Chhanchhan's welfare and now they are totally absent 😕 Even Chhanchhan is not calling or talking to them whereas earlier her dadi was always her sounding board. The Kaumudi-Chhanchhan scene was a nice touch as always and makes Chhanchhan look more real.

So, now everyone is slipping in maintaining the charade, Rupali and dealer's wife are dropping important clues for Chhanchhan to pick up...might as well, I want this track to end and have Manav take Chhanchhan on the trip he promised today.

Yes, I did...hope it is dropped before that and we get some happy family scenes and romance in last couple of episodes, not a court case till end. Fingers crossed.

I liked the fact too that they are emphasizing Manav's guilt. Any decent person would feel that way. Anuj has also done well to portray it.

ChanMan scene the best part of the episode as usual...naturally enacted. Chanchan talking abt them going out after the case was over..was that a hint that we will get some good romance in the end...pretty please CVs.

Rest of the episode was usual drama...Chanchan becoming a detective...how can that part be missing from a daily soap lead heroine's accomplishments 😆. Chanchan also finally gets to do that in the end.

I hope the mention of 19th Sep was just a confirmation of the last day and not an indicator that the court case will be dragged till the end. Please end it tomorrow or at the most Monday. Lets get some happy moments in the end. Hopefully Supriya will also be back for the last episodes and the Sarabhais too.

I agree, the actors are doing their very best in spite of a lacklustre script ... they always have. The cv's seem to be keeping their best efforts for the ChhanMan scenes ... or again maybe its the actors ... the CHhanMan scenes are better written than the rest, but the casualness and the warmth that Anuj and Sanaya bring to them, makes them so real. I loved the way Chhanchan kept her head on Manav's chest ... the way they keep holding each other's hands and touching each other, as though that physical contact brings them strength ... such a 'married' thing to do.

Sanaya was looking beautiful ... yellow is her color! Scratch that ... yellow is another of her colors ... am yet to find a color which looks bad on her 😛 ... she looks like a ray of sunshine in that yellow, which very few people can carry off. She has played Chhanchhan very subtly ... a far cry from the exuberance and OTT nature of her previous character ... here, Chhanchhan's eyes and face do the talking ... she has a smile when she is talking to Manav, but the moment he's not looking at her, she allows the worry and tension to show on her face. The mask slips again in front of Kaumudi ... very beautifully done by Sanaya.

I noticed the date ... so will the case drag on till the last day of the show? 😕

Also have to say, the PH is not cutting corners even when the show is ending ... the court room scene was properly set up and decently populated ... again memories of San's last show haunt me where the contest track had exactly three people in the audience, all of whom were the judges! At least this PH is trying to keep it going till the very end.

A nice episode today. I absolutely loved Sanaya today. She was so good. All her scenes be it with Manav, Kaumudi and the kids were done really well. I will miss her so much once CC ends 😔
All the ChanMan scenes were perfect and both the actors did a fabulous job. Like you said they are totally comfortable with each other and make it look so real. This sort of chemistry is not even seen on shows which rule the trp charts. If only Sanaya and Anuj could be paired again for another show, they would surely rock!
The kids were very cute, somehow made me think what the story would be like if CC and Manav were to become parents.
Hope the court case isn't dragged on until the 19th, want some real good episodes towards the end!

U, I felt the same ... Sanaya was in most of the scenes today, and even the other actors seem to perform better with her. That's why the episode seemed better ... of course, lots of ChhanMan ... they always do very well together. This troubled phase is bringing out the best in their bond, and showcasing the strong woman Chhanchhan is.

Rupali is getting overconfident ... the broker's wife is slipping in her story ... hopefully they won't drag this track right till the very end of the show and will give us a mini honeymoon track too! 😛

Babuji and Dadaji worrying was more natural today ... they were too calm the last couple of days. And I loved the touch of Chhanchhan keeping up the brave face for Manav, always trying to make him feel better ... and once she's alone, her own worry and tension surfaces ... Sanaya does these scenes so beautifully, despite being let down by a poor script. Again liked the CC-Kaumudi bonding ... that has always been a very sweet one.
