Hi Doods! I saw this and thought I'd shine some light on this. It is actually fairly simple to determine blood groups with just a drop of blood. With just a drop of blood, swabbed onto a specific testing sheet (if your not in a proper lab) you can determine the blood type. There are testing cards available that if you place a drop of blood on the card and mix with a toothpick, you can determine the blood group. These cards are compartmentalized with fields of antibodies. And because blood has antigens (thats what gives the characteristic of A, B, and the lack of it O), when mixed with the antibodies on the card, and depending on your blood group, the blood will clump. I won't go into the logistics because then I will end up providing you all a long and probably boring lecture on science. :)

If anyone wants me to send links about how its done and the logistics behind it, let me know!

**I haven't watched the episode yet, so I am not sure what Khushi has done with the blood. However, from what I read about swabbing the blood should actually be fine. :)

Yesterday it was out and out Will fiasco.. had all kinds of legal opinions poured in..

And then we moved to DB leaving the show.. So the dynamics of running a show and about actors and their demands etc was discussed

Again today abt blood grp.. We have Kopal and Appu our resident Drs.. So they shed awesome lights on this!! It was an eye opening discussion 😃

So I will tell you we will be master of all trades by the time IPK ends!!!

DB leaving the show was continued till yesterday... I know we were discussing that on Sunday !!! I'm still reading Dood's analysis of yesterday... just read her "chat" with Gul... 😊 Completely agree with her !!! If the creator of the show gives into the whims and fancies of all actors, then she has a big problem at hand ! Can't blame Daljeet, if she has decided to leave... she was supposed to be one of the leads... but all she gets to do is Pooja or giggling !!!

Tell you what... I stay away from doctors and anything related to science 😉 but even as a layman I thought she'd go in for a DNA rather than blood group test ! All she needed was his hair or tooth brush along with the swab.

Sorry for jumping in but DNA tests take a long while, don't they?

thanks...what you said is true...but thats a drop of blood on a the card...if the blood is already on swap...absorbed in it its hard to squeeze a drop out of it specially if it is atleast 2 hrs old 😃

I agree with you, wet blood is more valuable than dry blood. Even though it is harder, its not impossible. It just requires proper lab equipment and chemicals and they should be able to determine it. And also, I have no idea what she swabbed it on, so I won't say anything about that :D

She swabbed the blood from Shyam's shoes on to a cotton ear-bud which she gave for lab testing.
