They started off with ASR's bare minimal wardrobe, then the plastic bathroom and now the whole set and the characters are also getting cheaper by the episode! 😡



I know it must take a big axe to kill that level of chemistry but they have managed to do it! I am praying it gets better tomorrow because if this keeps on they might was well regress back to the cheesy drama days of I don't know when.

i disagree..

anjali is a meddlesome character. she found out via shyam something is wrong with arhi. she cant have "sadness" in her perfect world so she set out to right the wrong by sending them to a honeymoon which for obvious reason arhi rejected. so in the short time they tried to have the couples have an romantic evening. hoping this will bring arhi closer and back to being happy again. they live in a joint family so its normal in such families for the elders to get involved esp. in the matters of a newly wedded couple as they think they have insight into problems due to experience.

and not to forget the family think arhi had a lovers spat, a mild disagreement common in the first months of marriage. so their solution was to get them to spend sometime together so they forget abt thier little problems. that is not contrived nor cringe worthy i think saying that is a little judgmental. in joint families elders are involved in day to day lives esp. when they detect probs.

i think we should remember that what all information we know as audience the characters within the show dont. would the family have done anything like this if they knew the serious prob. between arnav and khushi... no. anjali would be crying buckets of tears knowing the truth followed by fainting an dying. i think today was a serious hint that the truth will be out soon. both arnav and shyam's masks are slipping in public as they cant take it anymore. khushi is also become more and more aware of arnav's obsession with pleasing his sister and his objections towards her.

they wanted to show the conflict of feeling between arhi. how they want to hate each other but still cant. and to show this like always they used anjali who has directly or indirectly always brings them together. u have every right not to like the way they should this. but i dont think it was cringeworthy to show family elders trying to help out a younger couples. in indian culture some families still believe in arranged marriages and see it fit to be involved in their children's life's even after the age of 18. i grew up in a nuclear family and but i respect families who choose to follow their traditions an live in a joint family and participate in what that entails.

Agree with you completely...today's episode was totally cringe worthy...what the hell were they thinking?...or probably not thinking at all!
Everything about the episode was just down right awkward and so out of place...that dance sequence just didn't go with the scenario at all...if that was supposed to be a passionate intense moment,then sorry to say I was just 🤣on the floor and cringing at the same time at the cheese factor that was dished out to us today.Hoping that this display of horror does not continue tomorrow!

I feel that today's episode was planned and that they knew exactly what they were trying to do.That dance left a bad taste after the episode. It definitely was the opposite of the Teri Meri sequence. This dance was just filled hit hate, anger and yea even jealousy. Arnav totally did that to give Shyam an eyeful. This dance (which I'm pretty sure was choreographed by the same person who did the Kurbaan Hua sequence for Maan and Geet since I saw some moves that were very similar) IMO was not meant to be anything close to love or passion.
I don't even have a problem with the dance because I think that was the effect they were aiming for.
I really didn't like the interactions between Arshi today. Their scenes just didn't feel continued from yesterday's episode to today's.
I feel like the whole hand-door situation was just way too underplayed and I didn't like that Kushi just snapped back to normal when she asked him to eat. That consistency just wasn't there for me today.
Hoping for better tomorrow...

Also hated that the family was there. they should have left the house so that ArShi and Payash could be alone...a honeymoon with the family..🤢

I agree on some of your points. I did not have problems with the romance and the family trying to patch them, I had a problem with direction and execution which was so corny that it even managed to kill Arhi's killer chemistry. I am also Indian, so I know about meddlesome family members and all. Anjali sure fits the bill. I had a problem with the Halloween costumes and posters that ruined an otherwise good romance. It was also out of the blue and very random. This is coming from one if IPKKND's biggest supporters. As you know, I write fan fics based on these characters, so the story is not what I have a problem with.

i so agree.. today was cringeworthy for me...
supposed millionaires dressed up as hotel staff...

i wish they spent half the time they spent on the set and costumes on getting the script sensible.

Yes you are so right. The dance was supposed to be pure voyeurism but the cheesiness of it all was too much. Beyond all that these two are supposed to be in love and the poor direction killed the passion they have. I also agree that Khushi snapped back too soon. It seems like a different writer is writing every episode and have no idea what happened a few days ago.

What happened to Mami's suspicion that something was wrong between Arhi, what happened to Khushi's suspicion that Arnav might know about Shyam? All the logic that IPKKND was known for went out the window.

I even once defended the CVs for knowing best but clearly the fan fic writers know better. I have seen (read) more passion than I saw by some of the writers on this forum. Also completely agree with the honeymoon with the family part. Suhag raat is custom, honeymoon is romance. They are two different things. There was not privacy for the so called "couples" today.

Today's episode was enjoyable...from a stand alone episode point of view...will not say the story moved forward...glad that it did not take two steps backward.Could be my desperation but I loved the dance...it was not even a near perfect one but loved Arnie's blind jealousy induced steps... they pulled it of decently.But the rabba ve's no longer gives me goose bumps...too many of them and almost everyone of them forced..The dance could have made many more millions of heart flutter ...had there been some mutual love between them...even little traces...Their was passion...but no love...Wishing for brighter days ahead.But what ever be the script all the actors did their part well...loved Anji's attire today...she was looking young,bubbly and beautiful.Just my POV Mary...sorry If I deviated from the topic
