Good observations. I too wondered how he was driving with such ease

Another blooper..I could swear that we were told that the house Ragini and her family are living in is rented...now, all of a sudden, it's become hers!😕


Also, her mom is one strange grandmother. So far, she has shown NO emotion or interest in her grandkids from the US. It's like they don't exit for her.

I think the writers forgot to factor this in the script.



The execution of this show has been very poor. I am very disappointed, the subject line is very interesting but here is the deal it takes very mature and quality writing to script a story of depth. First of all too many kids in the story, I am not saying because I am laughing at Ragini ability to give birth every year, but too many characters means less investment of emotion in each of them. Kids are scattered and have no scenes with the parents, Nishi interaction has been ok so far but what is the use of Arav I think Neil couldn't care less if he exists or not, same goes for Ranbir from Ragini POV.
The other thing I choke on my tea every time I hear dialogue how can you have move on so easily, joke of the century, seriously man what were you doing sitting in NY for 16 years where you planning a strategy on how to get your wife back no he was not he could care less so what exactly is his problem. 16 years is too soon for neil what was he expecting that ragini will die and he will meet her in the after life. All these dialogues from both neil and ragini how can you move on from me sounds so silly, when they signed divorce papers they needed each other permission to marry again.
In a mature love story dialogues and sensibilities have to be mature too you have to understand 40 some year olds are talking not angsty teenagers. If Ragini and Neil are a romeo and Juliet type couple they would have stabbed each other in the heart rather sign divorce papers, no they are quite ordinary in the sense they fell in love, got divorced, fell out of love.

@loveanime:
Ditto!

The excessive number of kids are annoying. You are absolutely right in saying that it is difficult to invest equal amount of emotion on each of them...apart from the monetary impact of paying per day to each. Which is why they are missing in turns. Haven't seen the old granny and sunny tai in days either.

This should have been the mature love story promised to us...instead we have a 30 plus mom of 4 pretending to be married when her lie can be caught at any point. Sad to see that this lie has become the fulcrum on which Niel's reactions and future actions are going to be based. Basically, he's being made a fool of and that simply doesn't suit the character he has been given.

Their constant harping on why and how he/she has moved on is very specious. Take that lie away and what is there in the story? Tripping and falling is so passe even in a young love story. it is simply laughable here. Walking into a 'private' moment has been done to death. Ekta...a piece of advice to you..if anyone has to move on, it's you...move on to newer pastures, please.

The only thing I liked in yesterday's episode is Neil's angry reaction to Pam's suggestive dialogue about him and Nevedita. That made sense to me.

@loveanime @pippa guys I think you are going off topic.

I was only asking about how Neil could drive a car with so much ease "left and right" (literally) in New York and our very own Mumbai.

I know somebody is the forum said they do drive but Neil never bothered to come to India in the past fifteen years or did he?

And then legally can he drive in India? Doesn't he need a license?

Other than that. yes there are excessive number of kids. And Aarav for example talked so much about papa before Neil appeared on the scene. Now Aarav is sidelined.

Ranveer by himself shut himself up in the room not wanting to meet his mummy.

One thing I do not understand how did they divide the kids. Pam the Vam(p) says it was Ragini's idea.

If so why did Ragini do such a thing?

As for Neil commenting on Ragini moving forward he has no right to say such a thing. Neither can Pam.

Also cannot understand what happened between them after having so many kids? If Neil did not cheat then why did Ragini leave him?

Don't tell me they cannot tolerate each other. If they could not they would not have lived together for seven years.

If they could not tolerate each other then they would have thought twice before having so many kids.

If their parting was because of something sudden then what is it?

Pam however much a vamp she is would she be so heartless as to separate two kids from their mom?

Looks like it was Neil's and Ragini's decision. probably had nothing to do with Pam.

Anyways if they had so many kids they the cvs should give equal importance to all the kids. Which they are not doing.

Right now they show only Neil and Ragini . and their expressions.

So true. Having given birth to all the kids together not only Ragini and Neil divided the kids they expect each other to behave like the other half of the kids are nothing to them. Like they are somebody else's kids. Even somebody else's kids one would feel some attachment to.

They expect the other partner to be as much against the other set of kids as they Neil and Ragini are against each other. strange.

And the mom never bothered to go and see Ranbir and Agham she never bothered to ackknowledge.

Even Neil touched Dadi's feet but not Ragini's mom. Again I have to ask "How come?"

actually it costs $15 to get an international driver's license in the US. My husband and I learned to drive in India, so though we have lived in the uS for 20 odd years, it is easy to continue to drive in India. Indian drivers can drive anywhere. If you learned to drive elewhere, the traffic can drive you nuts!LOL!

Really! Neil K has spent fifteen years in US. And never bothered to visit India in these fifteen years.

And he visits now and he learnt to drive in Indian traffic in one or two days . Really ! Wow !

I thought one would find it difficult to drive in Indian traffic after getting used to hm... American roads.

about the license... i had gotten my license when i was 18... and that was a 7 years ago.. my license renewal date is in 2030. so he probably has a license that is still legal in india. about driving in left and right... only in india do they have so much traffic and all... and much of the driving we do here could be termed crazy... as we would have to squeeze in and go if you get even a small gap... so maneuvering around the traffic in india even after being in a foriegn country where you would have to drive on the right rather than on the left would be easy for a indian driver... one of my uncle's best friend, a honorary brother of sorts for my mum... he lives abroad.. but still can drive around in indian traffic.. so it wouldn't be much of a problem for neil too... it would be a piece of cake.
