LMAOOOOOOOOO Buffie! Thank heaven you are back!
and yes I-I, i WAS wondering where you were! Good to know you are still around. 😊
OK, firstly, Buffie, it is spelt "Dehradun" not "Dehradoon", though the abbreviated form is "Doon".
Secondly, yes, there IS an airport in Doon but not in the town itself, around an hour's drive away between Doon and Rishikesh and so far as i know, EVERY darn celebrity who comes here (and there have been plenty, from President Kalam to the Big B) does so by plane; why did AA have to be such a cheapskate?? 😕
When he said,"...as i got down at Doon station", i almost cried out loud; had i known, i would have been there to recieve him and taken him home and given him some TLC 😉 and perhaps even persuaded him to rethink his decision 😆 and wait for Mona's makeover... 😳
As usual Buffie has covered it all, but here are the points i wish to highlight--
1. Hiten-gauri are BY FAR the cutest couple on television (next to of course MANDA! 😛 ) and this was confirmed today. Though they came in third (SandA came second but only by 5 points; Ronit-Neelam won by a sizeable margin), they were just too adorable. I was going awwwwwwwwwwww every time i looked at them. 😳
Hiten seems to be a real tapori who is comfortable in his own skin and does not pretend to be someone he is not.....while Gauri (who looked simply ravishing!) is obviously more intelligent and well-read than him but still loves him the way he is.
And she is a Virgo! I really like Virgos....except MM!
2. Ronit-Neelam were the surprise package of the evening. Ronit surprised me by his great sense of humour while Neelam is a very dignified and feminine lady. I always thought her pretty ordinary-looking but today she looked gorgeous.
3. Why oh why do SANDA have to constantly compete for the Worst-dressed Award??? 😕 😕 😕 Don't worry, guys, you have won it hands down! 😡
That bustier-and-harem -pants outfit was totally inappropriate for a proper family show like this; couldn't she have worn a sari at least THIS once??
And while AA is no doubt handsome(i disagree with Buffie here), he really, really, desperately needs a haircut and PLEASE why did he not wear a suit like the others?? What has Armaan Suri taught him?
4. RK was at her best today...probably because all the contestants were her buddies. 😊
5. Gauri is usually subdued in public but today she was vivacious. I heart her!! 😳
6. ATTENTION MANDA-MONGERS! When RK and SS were talking about AA arriving 15 minutes early on the set, DID YOU NOTICE AA looking down and blushing and giving a mysterious smile?? 😉
hmmmm......i have often wondered what was his tearing hurry to reach the set.....and today when i saw that look on his face i wondered...was he thinking about what he and Mona do on the set when they arrive 15 minutes before everyone else?? 😳
7. Another MandA Mystery.....when RK asked the couples how many marriages they had, ONSCREEN, gauri was like..."we have been maried at least 3 times" ; Hiten was like "too many to count.....once was with you ( to RK)".....
But AA gave this strange look to SS and said, " i think....twice?" and SS was somehow not looking pleased.
Now this had me all puzzled....JJKN is the only soap AA has done and JANDA have been OFFICIALLY married only once, in Malysia; and UNOFFICIALLY they have been married around 4 times---1) when they took pheras opp J's home; 2) when A puts sindoor on J; 3) their cancelled 5 aug wedding 😡 in which all the ceremonies took place except the actual shaadi; and 4) Malaysian wedding.
So WHY did AA say "twice"?? Either he is really bad at maths 😆 .....OR there was some deep hidden meaning to his words. Like he was hinting that he has been married twice in REAL -LIFE??????? 😉
It reminded me of I-I's thread in which we were discussing whether the "authentic" Malaysian rituals had actually "married" MANDA for real....... 😳 😳 😳
8. I actually shrieked with delight when RK asked AA whether he would be able to juggle two girls 😉 😆 .......he looked so confusd and i REALLY wonder why RK asked him in particular... 😉
9. When MONA came on JKK she stood second; when AA came on the same show, he too stood second....coincidence.. 😳 😳 😳
10. For all MANDA lowers who think that SANDA has replaced JANDA/MANDA in the limelight.....relax!! This epi was shot BEFORE JJKN ended ( they shoot several weeks in advance; Mona's epi was shot 2 months before it actually aired) because all that talk about AA rushing to the set was in the present tense.......
so my latest memory of AA is still him looking woe-begone at JJKN's end and going on and on about the great times they had on the set......
11. Overall, SANDA were THANDA....in the end the other two couples hugged and looked all lovey-dovey but SANDA just stood there stiffly looking at the audience. 😕
