Is there a reason they 'changed' Bhabasa's name? - Page 2

Yeah I know it's just that they never showed him reading/saying anything till date, so this was a bit of jhatka for me 😆

Here's another blooper - Sandy whilst saying sorry to Suraj near the cinema hall didn't have the bandage in her hand but as soon as she reached Rathi's house her bandage was there!!!!! How did that happen?

Maybe Suraj can read a little English and just doesn't do it often, as has been suggested. Or maybe he didn't actually read the "house full" sign but he knows/understands what it means/symbolises. He did know there was a full house from when the couple he gave his tickets to couldn't get any tickets themselves, and then he told Sandhya when she got there.

Coming to Sandhya's bandage disappearing act, that might not actually be a blooper. Do you remember when she realised she was running late after seeing the police officer, her bandage was unravelling and she started to pull it off. Then when she arrived at the cinema it was completely gone. It is possible that she took it off as it was coming off anyway, and that they then passed by a hospital/clinic on the way home from the cinema and she got a new one (but we just didn't see this happen), which is how come she had a proper bandage again when they arrived home. A bit of artistic licence here - I guess Sandhya needed her right hand to be bandage-free at the cinema so that she could feed Suraj with it (as eating/feeding someone with your left hand is considered inauspicious). I think this is a plausible explanation, as we did see Sandhya pulling off her unravelling bandage.

At least these two things have possible explanations - the Bhabasa name difference is just plain weird! 😊

Just been catching up on a couple of the latest episodes online that I missed out on recently, and something related to Bhabasa's name caught my eye!

I went and watched the episode that Bhabo was arrested in again (from 26 December 2011), and when we first see the police report (when Chavi is reading it), the person the complaint is against is listed as "Mrs Santosh Rathi, wife of Bhavarlal Rathi". But then in the very next episode (27 December 2011), when Sandhya goes to talk to Preeti's husband for legal help, we see the report again and it now says "Mrs Santosh Rathi, wife of Arun Rathi"!

So it looks like they did actually change Bhabasa's name from Bhavarlal to Arun in the actual show in Decemeber, but then changed it back to Bhavarlal in February/March (because Maasa called him Bhavarlal, not Arun)!

Now, in the episode of 1 June 2012 (which I missed and so just caught up on), when Sandhya hears the name "Kasturba Naik Hospital" from Chaturi and thinks it sounds familiar and then goes to look at the police report that she has in a folder in the cupboard, the name of the person the complaint is against is "Mrs Santosh Rathi, wife of Arun Rathi". (This report is exactly the same one as we saw in the 27 December 2011 episode - I guess they made 2 prop reports for using in the show, and the second one is the one they stuck with)

So, it appears that after having him initially named "Bhavarlal Rathi" in the show, then changed to "Arun Rathi" in the show and then back to Bhavarlal again, and then after that being referred to as "Arun Rathi" in awards shows/nomination lists, they actually have changed his name to Arun Rathi again in the DABH show itself!

So, currently Bhabasa's name is Arun Rathi.

I hope they won't keep changing it back and forth - that's just weird!

At least we know what his name is supposed to be now! 😕

I guess we know why Bhabasa is so tired/generally lazy - keeping track of what his name actually is is tiring!!! 😉
