Nov. 13th: Things I liked - Page 7

As most of us already said, today's episode pretty much gave us the vision of the forthcoming storyline. It was an okay episode for me - and not because I expect romance. The episode seemed like Pavlov's experiment to me because of the kissing scene. I mean it was a cute scene, but I didn't feel the connection from any angle. I felt it was done just to entice the audience (perhaps ranking). I preferred the conversation between Saachi and DV prior to the kissing much better than the actual kissing part.

A few things about today's episode

a) I find strange that Sunil went to meet Pradip the next day without having a discussion with his wife (He is Prachi's brother after all). Pradip was not involved in family activities during the wedding and that's something that should have trigerred his mind. And, nonetheless, it would be also safe to assume that Prachi discussed about her brother Pradip to Sunil. So, Sunil should have known his traits, so I am not sure why he ignored it and still decided to go meet Pradip (Sunil ain't that poor). I'm not sure about the rationale in Sunil joining their team so soon. The scene would have more sense to me, if Sunil shook hands with Mr. Goel after their relationship got exposed. I don't know, but I felt this part was hastily done. I

b) What lame siblings! That's all I am going to say about the brother and sister. 🤓

About upcoming storyline: I guess there is an upcoming proposal. Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose of asking permission? Even in western culture, the boy usually ask the girl's parents permission before the proposal (as well the boy informs his family). It's a bit strange because Saachi is a girl of principles, so her accepting the ring from DV without ensuring Daadi/Naani are okay with their relationship is odd. May be I shouldn't be jumping into conclusion, as CV may have a creative idea in terms of execution... So, crossing my finger for the upcoming episode.

and looking at the past record I'm sure the writers must have given DV very good lines in the proposal scene too..i'm looking forward to the scene and the lines it looks so dreamy...*sigh*

And it looks like the Land Snatchers' meetings are going to slowly pull us back down to the ground now...*sigh* I wish we could just get rid of Sunil (and Prachi) but then there wouldn't be the added pressure that I'm sure Prachi is going to deliver once she finds out about the land deal. If Sunil doesn't confront Prachi about this, I will be surprised. Those two just make me really grumpy *rolls eyes*. Prachi's "Aren't we going shopping, Naani? Show me those dupattas, Naani, and then I'm going home!" is a nice contrast to Aadu's "You give so much and never get anything in return, Tai..." Yeah, I think my opinion of Aadu rose even more today, while Prachi only sank lower than she already was. Let's see how far this will go.

Naani, bless her! I love how supportive she is of this whole birthday party plan. On top of that, she told Prachi off and that was fabulous! Speaking of Naani...I just remembered how bummed out she was when she rolled up the paratha and Saachi didn't even take it with her 😆 She and Dils were so busy trying to drive Saachi out of the house, something was going to be left behind, haha.

Good day wishes, DV-style! How sweet is this man, seriously? He just strides over to the Prabhu household in the morning and keeps grinning at Saachi until she asks him, "What?" 😆 "Aajkal..." "Jaiyye, jaiyye...Jaldi..." "Huh? Kya? Kyun, kya hua?" LOL, DV takes her by surprise again! "Itna pyaar aa raha hai aap pe...Agar aap ab nahi gayi, na, toh main aapko jaane hi nahi doonga! Aap jaiyye." And then he looks up at her with a grin. Of course Saachi blushes and smiles back with a "Tum bhi, na..." Disarming charm indeed! He's so openly affectionate about these things and I always end up smiling away while watching Saachi react to DV's constant declarations of love through these compliments. The way he says these things, the way he looks at her while doing so...and that smile...everything is so genuinely sweet!

Even when DV tells Saachi to wish for something, her immediate reaction is, "Apne liye? Tum kuch maango" which is so very like her, isn't it? Constantly thinking of others, their happiness, their wishes...and trying her best to keep them happy. So sweet, the way DV looks at her for a moment before leaning in to kiss her cheek! Ruslaan and his smile *shakes head* DV's cheerful attitude is contagious, if not lethal...and it's effortless charm, too. Oh, and I love Saachi's reaction to the unexpected kiss, too! Sangeeta's expressions are so cute and the transitions are fantastic, as usual - the initial shock, followed by oscillations between small smiles and slight frowns to try and keep a straight face, before finally breaking into a smile and glancing in DV's direction one last time...Aww! Resistance is futile, Saachiji!

Ah, and the SBS segment of the upcoming birthday surprise just about killed me when I saw it last night. Just...wow. I don't know what state I'll be in when the scene actually airs, given the unbelievable amount of chemistry Sangeeta-Ruslaan have...

You're welcome! Did you watch it? Ruslaan says Dhruv is like Krishh4😆😆...do you realize this is the only time we get to hear Saachi call him DHRUV? In interviews? 😆 Even Ruslaan calls him Dhruv in interviews.

Also it seems like DV will again pull one of his nautankis where he'll make Saachi think he's gonna kiss her but he'll end up proposing instead😆

Also when the reporter prompts Sangeeta to sing a song for DV, Ruslaan prompts her to sing "Tu cheez badi hai mast mast"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'd say a few things in response here:

1) Didn't we always know that the supporting storyline is weak?😆😆 I mean you seriously STILL have expectations on that front?😆😆 Good luck😆 True, it's a given factor. But I found rather completely unnecessary rather than just weak. To me, it was random. I just had expectation because till date, they did to justice to the supporting roles.

2) Re: the proposal...I don't think this is against Saachi's characterization...obviously she will want her family's approval...but she's not a CHILD...and when she has accepted her love for DV, why will she not say yes to such a heartfelt proposal? Not like DV hasn't given her enough hints before...but to be proposed to in such a wonderful way...ultimately Saachi's heart is like any other woman's...it would melt in the face of so much love.

The time for parental approval/problems will ofcourse come soon after...but why mar this moment with that stuff? I for one am SO glad that DV went ahead and did this for her...it's the kind of wonderful stuff that Saachi deserves after a lifetime of keeping her dreams and desires under lock and key. I am not denying Saachi doesn't deserve all this; by all means, she does and there is no doubt. And, what DV is doing is also a reflection of his personality, as we all know he is spontaneous. We all know if Aaji and Naani say "NO", Saachi will also say no to DV for the time being (that's a given). Now, you really think it's not out of Saachi's character to wear a diamond ring she recently received from her boyfriend that she didnt even bother telling her own Aaji/Nani? She will just randomly sit at the dining table and say "guess what I am engaged?". lol...Even Prachi didnt do that. This is not about right or wrong (obviously it's right), but all I am saying that I personally believe it's out of character. I guess you feel otherwise. 😳


3) Re: kissing scene...arey you think that was something to entice? LOL you should watch more Indian shows to know what REALLY gimmicky stuff is...I also enjoyed their convo before the kiss but the kiss itself was also quite simple and sweet...these actors make these things rise above cliches cuz of how effortlessly and naturally they show them. I didn't literally mean "entice" that way - it was a figure of speech rather.. As I said, yes, it was a cute scene, but I didn't feel the connection..And, as for watching more gimmicky stuff, I refrain myself from watching lowest common denominator crap!😛..If you know what I mean! I will stick to shows that are somewhat meaningful in terms of content (relatively speaking)

Ruslaan is really a teenager at heart and Sangeeta is equally childish, I guess this is what makes them click together and we get to see that sizzling chemistry on screen. The song bit was so funny, Ruslaan asking her to sing Tu cheez bahi hai mast and the previous day Sangeeta called him eye candy, LOL😉 they tease each other in real too.

I kinda had to make a presumption here to validate my point, because I was not questioning whether or not Saachi deserves it. I kept on indicating "personally/to me" on my post so clearly didn't expect others to feel mutually on this matter. Yes, you're right - this is far better than some cliched scenes I have seen on TV (I dont watch much serials for that reason, so this why I may not be aware of gimmicky stuff).😛
