Nice post Sonali. I too liked the daboo-manvi scene today and daboo is the hero of today's episode.

I remeber you from MB forum and loved your daily take on the episodes there and with a IMV like character so much to analyze there. Feel sad that show ended in not a favorable way.
That was the only show I used to watch before and to get to over it started watching EHMMBH . Liked how the confict between the characters is presented in this show and how each is shown right in their pov. The only character that has any layers in this show is swamini and the remaining are easy to predict in their ways so far.


oh nice.. more MBians here.. defo a pleasant surprise.. I think I do remember you.. although you rarely posted.. well same here.. MB was my sole viewing as long as it lasted.. randomized with different shows.. till a friend of mine got hooked to this one.. and kinda enthusiastically recommended it.. I started watching apprehensively.. but was definitely attracted to the endearment..

like i just replied.. I do like that although the sister bonding is the main theme.. they have till now maintained objectivity.. in its repercussions.. the unhealthy attachment wld affect other relationships too.. coz like they say.. no one relationship is d only core of existence.. you are never ONLY a sister..

AHHH.. now I see a MB/IMV lover speak.. I defo see loads of layers in Swamini.. and heck she is one of the first characters that even remotely intrigued me.. Vanshika etc are too tame.. 😆.. I tht I was one of the only few who LIKE Swamini.. for her convictions.. I so hope one day they show some back story to her.. I wld love to see it..

Nice to interact with you... keep posting..😃

@Yamini: LOL.. opinionated ladies bit cracked me up🤣 oh you have no idea.. how much conscious effort I put in.. thro each day.. to keep my opinions to myself.. Am like a living Ally Mcbeal.. constantly mental rambling🤣

yup.. I am defo looking fwd to how and what would threaten the JV vs JM equation.. I really dont want it to be as cheesy as Jaiswal's bullet.. or for tht matter Manvi's illness... I just hope they dont blow it out of proportion.. and keep it simple as it has been till now.. god only knows its SP after all.. so m pretty much on one foot .. ready to give up anytime 😆

beautiful take Sonali.


Though it does seem like old wine in new bottle, but the show certainly suckers a punch...u feel for the characters...at least some if not all!!

U pointed out the Dabbu-Maanvi bonding...& i cant help but appreciate that amidst the obvious bonding between the lead sisters. How he must hav hated being fooled by Maanvi so frequently & her digs at him, yet, when needed he stands by that v sister. I love how he loves his food & sisters equally...kinda like me!!😆 & then he can act & dance...i am beginning to hope his character is not sidelined in the long run coz his presence also adds a zing to the epis.

The epi def belonged to Maanvi out & out...though Jeevika did look spectacular & we are getting to see a softer & humane side of Beeji. now i wait to catch a glimpse of the same in Swamini Bua...though it cud be a looong wait!!


oh most definitely it does sucker a punch.. it has a heart.. and that too mostly in the right place.. the pulse of the show has been good too till now..

Dabbu in a way remind me of Joey from friends.. a long shot I know😆 but you know in spite of his extremely unbelievably low IQ.. the kinda loyalty and protectiveness he festers for friends and family is really heartwarming... I loved the bhai dooj scene too.. one of the very first scenes that got my misty.. not the sis bonding.. but Dabbu's intrinsic affection beneath his stupidity.. Manu -Dabbua have had a very real bro-sis love hate relationship.. we do mean things to siblings.. 😆 but they know us much before anyone else even looks our direction to comprehend the situation.. thts how it is wid me n bro.. no wonder I love these 2... Jeevika in general is a lil too nice.. so its just not the same.. there is more sorta respectful affection from Dabbu's end.. but he is an adorable little bro/sis.. emotional one too😆

Oh I am defo waiting on a lil Swamini track.. and scratching the surface beneath all tht pancake of hers😆 tht wld defo make an interesting watch.. Beeji reminded me of Dina Pathak in Khubsurat.. Swamini has a lot of scope too.. fingers crossed..

The thing is, all the characters have some sort of background to them, allowing for a lot of interesting plots to come out. Virat is an enigma; fun-loving, wild, yet knows how to deal with his family, and has a past; he is fighting an inner battle. Swamini has some sort of past as well (why the possessiveness of Viren and why the immense hatred for Manvi?) She definitely is interesting. Then there is beeji, she is a really strong character and I have always liked her, she is fair in her decisions, she is strict but loving, like an elder straight out of real life and then there is that dislike she has for Manvi's mother. Next, what is up with Virat's chacha that is a mystery in itself as he is quite suspicious too so there is a story there as well. Vanshika might seem boring because she is so sweet but she seems to be someone who has made sacrifices in life, someone who is living in Swamini's shadow, yet when needed she has stood out (although subtle) like when she had that talk with Swamini about the necklace issue. Viren will also be interesting to watch, will he rebel against his buaji? How will he juggle the 3 women who hold the most importance in his life; Swamini, Vanshika, Jeevika. He seems to be sandwiched between them but so far he has dealt with everything so well.

you pretty much gave out 10 different plots right there.. I was telling the same to my friend.. each support cast has a definition.. Well even if some are just left for presumption like Beeji's dislike for Manvi's mom.. such that she wasnt for the alliance and her son had rebelled and left home.. and if her mom was as cherubic as Manvi.. it clearly explains Beeji's disdain for such mannerisms in Manvi.. Jeevika always reminded her of the son.. so she was more tolerant of her.. besides J has always been the compliant little girl.. 😆

Virat and dadaji angle is defo kept at an interesting angle.. I suppose he wanted to make a career in music with the woman he loved.. but was betrayed wherein his score or something was stolen.. and he gave up on music just coz he got bitter about the whole thing.. and Dadaji just may see this as escapism..

Swamini is defo intriguing.. she I think was always a disciplinarian.. and may have even given up on her prospective love life for some of her convictions.. and added to tht.. her bro dying. .and Vanshika being in deep waters emotionally with 2 kids.. I think she took to Viren as much or more as a solace.. hence the protectiveness.. till now I havent felt that Swamini has personally anything against Manvi.. but cant see the complete disregard of rules and the casualness in her... she has the same disregard for Virat's defiance.. and put together she sees both of them as a sheer threat to norm and order😆and pretty much bad influence.. aka accomplice in crime.. 😆

till now I have only given Virat's chacha the opinion that he is compulsively subservient... due to his lack of confidence.. stemming from his stammer.. now how much bitterness emanates in his mind and to what extent he can jeopardize his family remains to be seen.. till now he has been a rather loving and caring family member..

Viren is a rather strong objective character.. but as they say.. love can skew even the mighty.. so how he handles the excessive JM attachment in the long run. .esp in the wake of family disorder again is an interesting angle.. as of now Vanshika's and Viren's equation hasnt been touched upon so much for me to see her as any imparting valuation.. 😆 and I think I completely missed Vanshika Swamini exchange on the necklace.. dont rem it.. was catchin up on d show in FF mode back then..😃and what you see as a sacrifice from Vanshika's perspective.. could have been a matter of help for her.. at the time of her husband's death.. coz Viren said he was old enough to remember the incident and was broken.. what are the odds Vanshika was not emotionally viable herself.. and unable to provide Viren that solidarity that a strong personality like Swamini could and did.. its called the order of time and day.. there are lot of biological parents who cant for some reason or other fend for their child emotionally or financially and child grows up with a foster parent.. would you call it illegit claims of a foster parent and sacrifice of biological one.. in scientific terms we call it commensalism.. or a symbiosis for tht matter

Grey characters always intrigue me the most and swamini is one of them. The reason why IMV character also intrigued me but he is way more complex. Looking forward to her story and hope they don't dissappoint us by making it lame for the way she is.
Also the nice thing about the show is they maintained the integrity of the characters so far inmidst of all this extreme drama usually shown in indian shows😆.
Do you see any slight glimpses of vaibhav in viren here and there (I mean early vaibhav not the despo one). I sometimes feel that. The way he assured both his mothers today and the way he made his point to swamini when she was thinking about cancelling the marriage at one point. Also the way he spoke to jeevika about Manvi's future in one of the phone convo's
I couldn't get over MB completely so try to see/imagine glimpses of my favourite MB characters in others..lol😆
I always want to post but my work keeps me busy most of the time. The few moments I get I read through some nice posts about the show and like them and if I have free time I do reply. Will try to post as I can. So nice seeing you here and look forward to more of your episode takes in future.😃

I had to reply to this bit.. there are SHADES of VV in Viren.. teeny weeny shades really.. if you have read me.. you wld know how much I did VV jaap at one point.. Well VV was way more realistic and sorta no-nonsense.. Viren is objective too.. but a little more emotionally so.. Viren is matter of fact as seen in the scene with Swamini post the necklace. .but he is a sugar coated version of VV if you know what I mean.. VV for the most part.. said things plain and square without much adornment.. I loved tht about him..pretty much why even D loved him.. for being so subtly sincere..

the thing is.. Viren defo has much more tolerance for nonsensical behavior as of now. .than VV ever did.. wid D.. he wld tell her off on most counts.. and I LOVED that.. I am just waiting for the day Viren handles Jeevika's excessiveness in such a manner

but yup Viren in some ways reminds me of VV.. even in his affection for Swamini.. VVs attachment to IMV was sorta like tht.. 😆

bewda gola lover VV doesnt exist in my memory.. he is long erased.. in fact started writing a SS for the sole purpose of undoing the unfortunate end..😆 still in the midst of it... if you care to read.. its posted in the MB forum😃

ME TOO! I love Manu and Dabbu... they're so much more relatable. Like me with my bro... the only diff is that I'm Dabbu most of the time lol. That scene was really sweet. The JM scene today was quite nice too... mainly cz it wasnt as long or OTT as usual. I like that KHNH scene in ur avi too... one of the better ones.

But gawwwd, this show is dragging! Is this wedding ever gonna end? :/ O and yes, Beeji should be the one bringing Manu ... and looks like it too, they wouldn't be wasting so much showing her feeling bad otherwise.. (actually u never no... this is SP) Virat bringing her shouldn't even be an option... it just wouldn't make sense.

PS: Ur Sweta sig lolll. I read ur blog... praising AJ! rofl. Haveee to watch it now.
