Hehe, agree. Too much effort to get them both on the same bed! I think the idea was to fool us viewers with extreme randomness. While I must admit that I vaguely even thought that the episode was fun (was feeling very melancholic after Monday), but it didn't add up. Something was missing.
Except for that one moment where Arnav insists that he will change first and Khushi gives in, which was a particularly bittersweet moment.
And oh, for a moment I even thought that Arnav might set Khushi on fire (accidentally). But that didn't happen. I am glad for that. I think.

Seriously?😡 Honeymoon and all that awkward Halloween partying was supposed to be funny? It was so contrived and cringe worthy. Today's episode was IPKKND at its lowest. I know Sanaya's on break and you need body doubles, we all understood but what's with these forced fillers? Can someone spell CHEEESSSYYY?

CVs, you even managed to ruin Arhi's passionate romance with a dance that didn't go with the music. Seriously? How did you manage to ruin their intense romance? By making a room full of awkward family members watching and setting up a honeymoon suite for them. Yes we will turn of the lights even though we didn't for suhag raat. We will take your phones and lock you in, also not done for suhag raat. They might as well have fit a camera in each of the "couple's" 🤪rooms and watched as a family in front of nani. Suhag raat and wedding it one thing but being told to honeymoon for the voyeuristic pleasure of sissy dearest is another.

I am so mad. I felt embarrassed for Arhi and the CVs. This is coming from a hopeless romantic who freaking writes fan fiction on this story!!!!! (Plug, my fan fics are much better than this). Barun and Sanaya danced well and tried their level best to save the awkwardness but OMG still feel bad for them. CRINGEEE😲. If I wanted to watch a contrived romance with cliched atmosphere and cheap themed parties then I would have watched another show, not IPKKND. Seriously, I expected the CVs to be a little above their company but clearly I was wrong.

You could have had a dance in another setting with some decorations (maybe the same fashion store room ones used in ALL the IPKKND parties) and said that they went out to dinner in a hotel and booked rooms there. How expensive is a hotel room? You could just use the same suite for both couples on separate takes.

Make RM a hotel? Are you that short on funding after winning so many awards? First the abuse and now this. All this self-sabotaging after winning awards makes it seem like you are determined to ruin the magic that Arhi has weaved so far👎🏼.

We are not a 9 year old audience thrilled by balloons and themed canvas decorations. Actually, that is offensive to a 9 year old I know who would make fun of today's Halloween honeymoon. I thought the audience's uniqueness was already established.

CRINGE CRINGE CRINGE, that's all I did during today's episode. I was so put off that I couldn't even enjoy Arhi! The only good part was their fight, their friction and anger. If I was ASR as he is truly supposed to be, I would have stayed in the room with my laptop and become the party-pooper. Better that than today's episode.

This was so cringe worthy it can only be topped by the Baat Hamari episode where everyone (from kids to grandparents) dress up like a tddler to babble, play with balloons, and suck on lollipops. No I am not kidding! I wanted to cry for Barun on that episode.

I have to clarify because of misunderstandings that romance is not what I have a problem with, it is the poor direction and cinematographic execution with cheap decor that ruined it for me today. If anyone remembers, I was the one advocating for a full on on-screen kiss, so I am not exactly being prudish here.

I am so glad that I am ot the only one which is totaly not empressed my todays episode. everything was so..akward and a bit embarassing.

Its sad, that the cvs abused the the unique feeling which was during the teri meri song by rewiding it in this episode with such poor athmosphere and chemistry.

P.s. the only gud thing about todays episode: Daljeet!!!!dear god she was looking amazin!!!!mashallah!!!

Yeah for some reason the dance didn't go well with the song and the moves were very OTT, I was laughing my gut out...There was something lacking in the chemistry as well.. Payash did a better job I think yesterday for the first time..

Seriously the production house doesn't even have money to shoot in a hotel room, let alone go to Bali..I watched once in Kekta serial they went to Australia for honeymoon for a week..We aren't asking for that..We are asking for something which is a tad better than this..

I was just thinking is there anyway that we could contact the production house and complain regarding their stingy nature.. I doubt they actually read our rants here.

Taken in isolation, I liked the dance.

But the problem was, the dance was not in isolation--- it had the background of fake scenery, of gawking family in super-close proximity, not to mention un-synchronised music.

I admit that in joint families, everybody noses in on a couple's private business--- creating romantic opportunities, teasing, goading about 'required' pregnancies.

But if Anjali had to create this, all she had to do was book a hotel--- dinner and dance for everyone--- the family would have remained for the evening, (CVs need Shyam to be there) the music could have changed to salsa, and the dance could have a more natural, sizzling ambience on a proper dance floor at the right distance from the dining tables and family, and the dance could have been much like those in various movies where a couple dances so passionately that all couples just give up the floor to them.

Then of course they could have retired to the hotel room, where everything that happened (decorated room, candle-lit dinner laid, lights switched off, doors locked,) could have happened the same way.

But I guess CVs needed to set fire to the couch to make the bed-sharing permanent, so everything had to happen at home.

The show that gave us the entangled-in-lights scene by the poolside, the Diwali scene with the payal, the Holi confession scene in the gazebo and the poolside, yesterday looked like CVs trying to cut budget corners by borrowing sets, script and direction from a Doordarshan TV serial (if those even exist now).

I expected clenches in my tummy---which I got while watching Teri-meri and Diwali---instead I got the cringes from the tacky scenario, and the forced hugs and falls. The fall on the bed would have sizzled if the earlier dance had taken place on the right note.

Yes, it was epic. Epic Fail.

Where is the show I so love?

Mary,

I do read your posts regularly, but this might be the first time I am posting reply. I agree with your post 100%. The epsiodes have been 0/10 atleast 90% of the time since the MU.

I guess, Lately CVs have realized, the support Barun has. How he won all the awards because of the love and votes he got. He deserves all of than as an actor. No doubt. But at the same time, CVs sees this as, let us keep Arnav fans happy. So looks like they are thinking of what will drive the fans into a tizzy. Have to get them on same bed ASAP. How do we do that. Couch catches fire. How do we do that. No electricity in their room and hence use matches. They can go out. So we will lock them. WHo will lock them. Only Anjali has the balls to do so. Why would she do that. Because she wants them to honeymoon for her sake. Why would that be. She ehard them fighting. What are they fighting about. It can't be about businees. Let us reuse the Terrace scene.

Episode done. To fill it up , they threw in a dance and other awkward moments in the last 2 days.

This is jusy my POV. Loved yours. Hats off to you for courageoulsy making this post.

👏👏👏

I thought it was a fun episode. Even if the intention was all morance-shomance. The family members looking on was pretty epic. We are Indians, we are like this only. Haha. But I hope they come up with something less amateurish today.

Completely agree! I also cringe whenever family members are gawking at any romance between couples... even when it comes to PaYash, but, thought that Indian couples are probably immune to it! 😡 Liked the dance for the most part, but would have liked it sans the family and better music!😕
