I came back, and I watched older episodes and read the updates, and itna kuch hua! And all of it so funny! But as funny as the on-screen antics has been, the reactions offscreen has made me extra happy! I am SO DAMN excited to be back among my peeps, crazy as we all are, so here I am, with two weeks of snark in one post. All in good fun, so bash karna toh gently karo please--- and its long, so fair warning!
ANIKA! TUNE PHIR SE ONE NIGHT (WRONG SIDE) STAND KIYA!
For the last few days, us, the silent majority have been watching the vocal minority lose their minds over the inclusion of an Anika naam ki keeda into pavitra OBros moments. I have enjoyed the horrified reactions here, online, more than seeing a pink flamingo awkwardly horning in on everyone onscreen. Brothers bechara dinner karta hai, Anika bhashan khilata hai. Poolside pe bhi kabza kiya, Obros secrets kaha share karegi, ab?
The worst thing recently (apparently, given people's howling anger) has been when a beautiful moment of three grown men romping like gazelles in a meadow was ruined by one hideously dressed woman. Itna awkward feel kiya menne, a stranger, munching channa and watching the scene, that Anika must have felt pure horror -that's actually her husband, in there. But even Anika felt the hatred wafting through the screen towards her. (90% of the hate was aimed at her ruffled sari, honestly). Bechara flamingo looked so uncomfortable. I noticed she smartly moved aside when she did some sacred OBros arm thing, to avoid the chappals that half the India-Forums ka resident OmRu Deeewanis aimed at the screen.
SAHIL SINGH OBEROI-- THE NEWEST OBRO ON THE BLOCK
Now I understand Gul, that well known truth-teller, told us that the story was about ek kahani ka teen hisse. She didn't mention that that kahani was about Sahil (who has three working limbs-get it? get it? Okay. Sorry. I'll see myself out). Om ka room toh poucho maat, dharam shala ho gaya, with Rudra AND Sahil AND Anika's suspicions moving in. Speaking of chotta packet, I fear the moment when Shivaay actually makes Sahil call him Bhaiya. He is wooing Sahil harder than he's ever put the moves on Sahil's sister. Forum pe mass khud khushi na ho jai, when Sahil becomes an OBro. People should get used to it- already, far from cooking only for OmRu, Shivaay has started indiscriminately making fudge for random kids littering the mansion.
Rudra has been treating Soumya like a polite house guest (which is exactly what she was before he upped and married her). I had hoped for secret marriage rituals between them, but I guess SaSa is the real romance story now on. At least chotta packet has moves. Our playboy Oberoi has become positively Victorian in how he is treating his wife. Frankly, romantic SaSa fan fictions likhna thodi awkward ho gaya, iss new pairing ke sath. I am praying for a 10 year leap so we can comfortably watch hot young Sahil and sexy cougar Soumya while white haired Rudra, holding a cane, watches.
BACHNA HAI HASEENO, LO OM KA GIRL A GAYA
And anyone who still believes Gul after watching Om romance his pillow for 150 episodes should immediately contact me, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell them. We have to accept that the original premise has taken a backseat to Gul TRP mining my television screen like she's trying to strike oil.
But recent forum predictions dekh ke mera dil garden garden ho gaya. Sana Sheikh? Now I've seen that proposed replacement for Vruskhika and Omkara's bedroom pillow-- Sana Sheikh in her first show Gustakh Dil was awesome. In the second one she was pretty boring, so I'm hoping she'll just average out and be normal level wallpaper here. Watching Shivaay's actions helplessly then judging him later is basically Omkara's main job now. As long as Sana remembers how to look (1) just shocked, (2) shocked and hurt, (3) shocked and angry, and finally, for some variety, (4) irritated by Rudra, we should be fine with her as Om's heroine. I say chup ho jao and be happy he has a real, breathing living ladki coming, yaar--- this is Gul's best casting trick, hum sab itna desperate hai for the poor man TO GET A LIFE, that show ki wardrobe fitting ki tailor-aunty bhi chalega at this point. Sana aya toh khushi se aarti utar na.
KI..KI..KI..KIRAN? NAHI YAAR, SHAHRUKH, CHILL! SIRF KOI KARAN HAI
And finally Dakhsh -- you aint no Shahrukh, man. Jitni loaded, intense, "i am a method actor" wali interviews doge humme utna hi lolz hoga. Tum back seat le hi lo. We don't need any more actors inspired from Bollywood in our show-- we already have the male lead Hritiking it up everyday, because the poor guy's voice is exactly like H. Roshan's baritone. Tu off ja.
