I know you would want to just not kill but butcher me for this.. but absence of the lead actor does impair the interest of the creatives. They were not doing their best obviously to cover up and there was no one writing, no one directing but it was on for a nose dive but I can not entirely blame them either. This man IS the heart of this show. And he carried it with aplomb too till then. It is a love story and needs two hands to clap.

I thoroughly enjoyed Khushi's emotions for couple of episodes. But why she became Anjali all of a sudden, openly crying with Anjali and nani? Is she the girl who thumped on ASR's chest and asked him some REAL questions? Would Khushi jeopardize Arnavji's life just for the heck of $20K? She could cry with naniji for arnavji and make sugar free jalebis but couldn't take money from her?? Cant say enough how implausible it looked a girl trying to save her beloved all by herself. I know there is a need to drag the track, but what fans did post Remarriage, giving up that is, makers already did by this time..

more ramanchi.

how she kept striking the match, something completely disturbed in her at the sight of him opening la's fast... and how he just could not stop looking at her. and how good did they look.

Indu - Why kill you? **Imagine your dupatta held from behind, me ducking the black coffee you throw at me, reel you in, lean forward, and reward you with a peck on the cheek**

you neatly summed up my thoughts about Khushi..Why make her cry and be all desparate, but not have her ask for all the help she can get? So confusing..

True.. it does take both the leads to build a love story.. and it takes ASR and Khushi to make this unforgettable love story..

Issk - Thank you thank you .. noticingj the isshoulderj?

I am watching the kidnapping track on TV Asia and it is the episode when Shyam has the nerve to take a shower in Khushi's and Arnav's room. How dare he! How do you say Baltameez? And to boot he is shirtless! He was so disgusting this Shyam character!🤢😡

honestly, indu,

i have factored in the lead actor missing... but even that does not justify what is coming at us. as creative people you are often asked to work with handicaps... of all sorts. in most long running shows leads take breaks, in ekta shows i believe it happens regularly. here, the actor was available for shoot sporadically. and every time he was here, he gave it his utmost.

and because barun went away, they wrote prithvi detective the way they did... or masala mama... or forget the story, the level of direction, of pace, everything... only because lead went away for a while?

i believe there was more to this. some chaos behind the scenes. and yet, i know this was not right, nothing justifies this. the writing had started losing its way soon after temple wedding... but now i am seeing pretty bad direction, really like rookies are doing the whole thing.

this was supposed to be khushi and asr's story, had khushi not been around, would we have seen such a mess?

and what's this about wanting to harm you? nahiiin, we are ramanchi buddies... you call him devastatingly suave, hollywoodish... you mope for them as much as i do... we have haq to scream and say what we believe.

i also think a huge gap in writing was the fact that not enough and adequate thought had been given to the character of khushi.

they spent time on writing her initial sketch, the opening episodes... but where this character would go once the story got going, in different situations... no real thinking there.

seemed all their energies were exhausted thinking asr.

which is why we have things that don't feel right in the delineation of female lead... equally important in a real love story.

that ott was off. suicide? huh?

this rona dhona is off.

later her reaction to shyam and bringing him back. maha off.

and all that no sex please we are achhi bahu... barun was not missing then, so who are we to blame for that travesty.

paternity test? lauki bhaji assault? peon? mrs india? diwali pataka is good for you? who is this person?

key thing: they did not think through khushi.

if they had... none of all this nonsense might have happened.

your story hinges on one character. who is that fair to... if you are writing a love story and not the amar kahani of asr.

if it is the latter and hero went missing i can get your problem... but heroine is here na, it is a love story... would she be doing what you show her doing? and why does it all feel wrong. yes there are fascinating inspired moments, but no continuity, no fluid falling in place of a character.

on the other hand, if khushi went missing... i bet writers knew exactly what asr would do... and it would all work.

because they knew that character... not his counterpart. not khushi.

that was the ultimate ramanchi.

now i need some real bhang.

and anyway, they ditched even asr finally, so please may i have the whole pitcher of the cannabis stuff.

to my sweet asr khushi, may you live long and we all drink in peace.
