@zeph in total agreement with your last post! wish i had seen it before now.

ok i posted this in the Sriti FC but I thought my KKB friends should know about it too - AN INCREDIBLE THING HAPPENED TO ME TODAY!!

So I live in Ottawa, Canada. I was on the city bus, going home from work, and then I realized the lady in front of me was looking up & watching Kumkum Bhagya on her phone!

Trust me this is an unusual sight!

So then I started talking to her and she said, "yes, I watch this show, my friend is on it"!

Turns out she went to high school with Sriti!!!!!!!!!!!

They are still in touch and Sriti let her know to watch the show. She told me that she would tell Sriti that she met a fan of hers in Canada and I told her to tell Sriti that she has lots of fans and she's awesome and we love her.

Guys it was incredible!!! Haha in a roundabout way Sriti is going to know that I exist, this is so weird for me 😆 😳


Wow good for you 😃! It really is a small world after all 😆


Did she say anything about the show?

Here's a bit of an interview from last year:


You have spent your childhood in Kolkata...
I was born in Begusarai in Bihar. Then I spent 10 years in Kolkata and later hopped from Kathmandu to Delhi and finally, Mumbai. I went back to Kolkata around two years back after a gap of 14 years, and though the city had changed, the people hadn't. Everybody is cultured and knowledgeable there. I have emotional memories of the place. I so miss the rolls and phuchkas in new market. You don't get that size anywhere in Kolkata.

Would you like to be a part of Bengali TV or movies someday?
If something interesting comes up, I would love to do something in Bangla in future, especially since I can speak Bangali fluently.

bravo zephy... 👏
I have seen this fake preggy track on so many other shows... don't know why people expect something different..
and as for rabul not happening, I feel there was a reason that their romance was shown in such a rushed, unbelievable way.. and suresh had a role somewhere in it.. they couldn't keep him out of the show for too long. 😆
EK was bluffing when she said.. stepping out of her comfort zone, she probably wanted to make an ullu out of us.. to egg us onto watching this show.. and we did become the ullu for sometime atleast


LOL you've lined up quite an anatomical array there 😆 but I agree KB was never a show to be scrutinized and dissected in great detail as it's whole plot is based on a fairy tale premise of a rockstar falling for a professor and in Suresh-BB's case how a modern bubbly girl fell for a very serious nerdy older man


And as for Rabul while I sympathize with the fans it was always meant for BB-Suresh to be end game given with the way they presented the characters/actors at the launch and the early promotional campaigns of the show. Purab's character was added much later to the mix, that itself should have made it obvious. Plus the way they showed their affair was also so rushed like they wanted to get it out of the way 😕


Maybe she did try stepping out of her comfort zone in the beginning with more of a logical story progression but seeing as it didn't reap dividends she fell back on her tried and tested formula, and looks like it is really paying off 🤔

Well I asked her if she liked it and she said she watches it because Sriti's on it, so it's like supporting her friend. She didn't really have much to say about the characters/plot but I asked her if there was anything she was confused about - she hasn't watched from the beginning and she mostly reads updates and watches Sriti scenes, not the whole show - and she wanted to understand how Purab and Bulbul met and the dynamic with Aaliya...her conclusion in her own words was "So Purab was basically cheating on Aaliya the whole time" - I swear I did not specifically lead her to that conclusion!! 😆

She was also watching Sriti interviews before I bothered her so yeah her main interest in the show is that her old school friend is the lead 😆

Oh yeah it was a five minute conversation but she specifically mentioned that Sriti is a really great dancer too - so good that it's apparently one of the first things someone will think to say about her, lol!! This just makes me more impressed with Pragya's "inability" to dance - it takes skill to fake skillessness!!

That's a very loyal friend 😆


I remember she said in an interview that she was mainly into dance and acting was something she got into incidentally. She wanted to join her school dance club but because it was already the seats were filled (or some reason) she had to opt for the next option which was dramatics which she slowly acquired a taste for. Must say it's our luck 😊

Thank you 😊...but you know in hindsight I wouldn't place my bets on Surbul this soon, coz knowing Ekta she is someone who has bowed down to audience pressure before so no saying what she'll do if there is a dip in TRPs. But I really want justice done to Suresh and especially Faisal Rashid. I really feel it's unfair such an amazing actor like him is now reduced to some background character 😒

You haven't seen this week, I have the last 2 weeks still left to watch 😛

Seems like she wears it in all her shows. I've seen her wear them the last 3 shows at least
