ughhh I've been trying to avoid all these points so that i can brainlessly enjoy these episodes we're getting. But you make such good points that i can't ignore it. Everything you have mentioned above is on point. The level of inconsistency in the characters right now is mind boggling. Shivaay changes colors everyday and has become one of the typical dumb male leads from EK shows. Annika forgets her main mission "get her husband back" and does basically everything that sends him away such as FPH n fake engagement n all that. There really was no point to this baby track like you said. It has done nothing drastic for the couples. They're at the same place they were 2 weeks ago. Harneet really is high on something and it's definitely stronger than weed.
Just found a spoiler that rags is gonna be exposed soon. It's from the sets so seems pretty reliable. So hopefully we wouldn't have to deal with her psychoness for too long.

Do you mind if i share this on twitter if you haven't already? I think all the harneet devotees need to read this. And I'm itching to tag harneet in it too lol

lol ... chalo someone else thinks that too not just me ... 😆

Just found a spoiler that rags is gonna be exposed soon. It's from the sets so seems pretty reliable. So hopefully we wouldn't have to deal with her psychoness for too long. careful about being hopeful now ... this is the same woman whose ARC is still looming over our heads with Pinky the witch flying around the OM on her broomstick and doing her loop-the-loops around that damn Arc even today ... she has graduated from tormenting her own Bahu to tormenting someone else's in the matter of a week's worth of episodes
So me feels Nagini is not going to disappear so fast ... me thinks she is here for a bit longer even after the reunion for some crazy harneet reason


Do you mind if i share this on twitter if you haven't already? I think all the harneet devotees need to read this. And I'm itching to tag harneet in it too lol Feel free ... someone needs to tell her that she needs to 'write' as a writer ... 😆 She is an embarrassment to us writers

I just remembered if Gulneet feel powerful destroying something so beautiful why not prove their superpowers again by bringing back Rags bhabhi from ashes make her the most sensible of all in IBthen she would knock some sense into Samar- to his Mom- both together to Rags ... Shivika left alone ... return of shark Singh Oberoi OMM of pinky etc etc etc return of IB with a bang n finally happy hour for all of us

Or is that hoping and expecting too much ??????

Right on target you hit the nail Pearl ...that is why I said you should take over IB writing ... then may be we can hope for a streamlined , sensible n true to character show . ... but that would bore the fans that like the lollipops that are fed to them by Harneet ... lol 😆 Then I will be bashed for making logical plots 🤣 and churning out absolutely no crap 😉

That said I have a question ( did not watch Indian TV for last 10yrs) IB being my first show ... is HS really a writer...meaning did she write ever before ??its just that I Think my first grader can tell a better story . omg!!! you have no idea how many times I have said that myself ... word gurl!!!

Ragini n Her family why are they in the show ??? Before this nonsense track there were enough strings n ties to be unraveled without adding on . Ragini is supposedly to cause jealously (teenage love style which is nowhere what ShivIka is), make an attempt on Annika's life because that is the only way our ML will realize his love (normal people like us have it all wrong about how you realize love) and to make Shivvay look like a 'jack ass' because she is so essmaart compared to the BOTY 😆

Watched today's episode after seperation ... did not feel the connect ... none of the characters are same or sane ... the Shivika magic is gone ...no ashes even to resurrect them from... total disconnect and everything seemed so forced. Do not care about love romance etc at this juncture I could not even find what was there in the first 100 episodes... The only episode I enjoyed was the one from the day before because that is the only place I saw good writing and flow ... I have doubts though if Harneet wrote that

With what's being shown with Rags n other nonsense gang I do not even understand what kind of reunion they are planning with so much unsaid n unresolved ... this is where I feel the pain of connecting with something so good to see it turned to crap for what ??? That is where I feel she goofed up and I am very curious as to how she is going to bring about this union with all the issues resolved

You are right Gulneet need to get off what ever they are smoking to streamline this wreck they created . Rant over ...how successful do you think they would be in rebuilding Shivika, Shivay ,Anika and all others they destroyed just to add in The cop n Rags gang because GUL felt the need. It will be a slow and painful journey to rebuild again but if they start working on it asap ... any more crap cannot be handled by any of the 3 couples because they are already so disconnected from each other from what I see... she needs to get realistic with all their stories and allot SS to just the couples for a change with a bit of here and there

Hope they come out of this abysmal pit they have dug themselves into without burning IB, the actors n characters and us all 😕 . It is only the amazing actors that are keeping IB afloat right now

Thank you for the post. I guess I'm not the only one who thinks this baby track was utter crap (no offense to the baby, she is cute).
So I asked my bestfriend to watch IB and give it a chance. She watched Monday's episode and she was like this is so much drama. She liked Annika, but she was like the Villain (Pinky) is so extra. And then I started explaing my friend that you gotta watch from the beginning because it's the growth of each character that is beautiful.

And that's when I realized that what got me attached to this show was its characters. Shivaay is my favorite because his character had shown immense growth from the first episode to the episode before the lapse. I like him because he's unpredictable and has many shades/layers. He can flip anytime. And that's what happen during the wedding track.Though his flip was so beast like, but we were still be to see why he did what he did. We didn't get his legit redemption, but his journey from forcing Annika to marry him to accepting her as wife to letting go of her NKK to finally proposing remarriage was incredible and I can't help but fall more in love with Shivaay.

I never really cared about the external drama as long as the characters were growing and in their element. Because to me the characters are important. With all the drama of Nayantara track, when everyone was busying thinking about the Pinky drama, my focus was soley on small things that Shivaay was doing for Annika whether it be hiding Nayantara from her fearing her reaction or calling her with a silent nod to join him for Maha arti. These small things showed his growth.

And that's why I think the baby track just messed everything up more. It is not the drama that made this track crap because common I have stick to this show through more crappier tracks like the kapoor sissters, Kamini-Daksh and Nayantara. But at least those tracks focused on some type of growth.

My reasons for not liking this baby drama:

1. The purpose of the track? Gain TRPs? That's it. They could have save this track for future. It would have make more sense to show this baby after the couples have cleared their misunderstandings. Like imagine 3 couples starting on a new note and the baby entry could have addressed their trust issues.

2. Inconsistent Shivaay. How can he say no to DNA test? Like isn't he the SEARCH Singh Oberio? What if the baby isn't an Oberio? They still can't keep the baby because it's illegal. Keeping logic aside, they are just showing Shivaay dumb to glorify Annika because not just the baby, he is also not doing any background check for Sidhhart who is apparently after his "Bestfriend's" life.

3. Hypocrite Omkara? I thought Om never lies. He certainly hide things, but never lies. Remember the Mallika track? He wasn't able to lie about Tia not coming to Party. Rudy had to Jump in because his Sach ka Boyfriend can't lie. But the same Omkara is lying without any hesitation. Small lies, but still lies are lies. Like saying to Rudy that he never said next. Or saying that Shivaay is sick. No fumbling, no hesitation. Agree that the character of Omkara changed a lot post spin off, but still this is suppose to be his main element.

4. Annika. I don't want to even get started with her character. Let's just not go there.

So basically the leap was suppose to show Annika's growth. Forget growth, all I can see is fall down of Shivaay and Annika. The writers are just hell bent on ruining the characters which of course they created with so much love (or at least they say they did) Sigh!

Awesome post! I think we all had enough of this haphazard writing and her never-ending arcs.

Completely agree with you the last 3 weeks did nothing for the show. After the merge, the show has been all over the place and the characters more inconsistent than usual. I'm not sure what the writers are doing anymore. It's like a bizarre universe where the characters are the same, but the separation didn't happen and random comedy took over. The first week there was still some anger and hurt from both of them then it all took a backseat for the convenience of the track.

The villains were never an issue for me. I don't like the rebooting of old tracks where the characters behave and react the way they did in the past while learning nothing. The writers seem to forget some of us have been watching the show for a year now so its impossible to ignore all the progress the characters made for the sake of the track. Shivaay has learned nothing from Tia or spending all that time with Anika. Anika has learned nothing about Shivaay and what value she holds in his life. The difference between then and now is their fights were real and legitimate in the past but now it's all forced just to keep Ragini around. We could have gotten better formed conflicts instead of Anika saving Shivaay again from another vamp.

Valid question what did the baby track do? Absolutely nothing. The perfect wife and perfect mother comment, which was sweet made absolute no sense because he already knew that fact for months now and communicated it to Rudra. Did the writers forget this? I really loved that scene because he made a promise to himself, her, and Rudra that she would always be happy and wouldn't let her suffer anymore. What's the point of rehashing obstacles he overcame months ago? Anika might not know how far he has come, but the audience does. It seems like a TRP gimmick to me. Shivaay has flaws that should be addressed, but NKK isn't one of them anymore. It's a shame the writers are discrediting their own character and the journey he made to get where he is now for a silly track.

What the writers should have done use the baby to highlight his longing and the loss he felt over the past 3 months. His hurt about her actions, his disappointment in letting his anger get the best of him, or his sadness at not being able to keep his promise. It seems like a copout to put all the blame on Shivaay again using the NKK obsession he overcame months ago while Anika gets a pass because of a previous comment he made. Where is her guilt for hurting him? She did it to protect him, but she still hurt him. Why isn't she apologizing? Why isn't she trying to make up for her mistakes? When will she start fighting for her own happiness instead of conceding without a fight? He can start to see past his hurt when she acknowledges she did in fact hurt him.

They are back in each other's lives with many issues that need to be addressed now isn't the time for comedy fillers lol. The writers need to sit down and think about their story because right now its not going anywhere nor does it make sense.
