||Kumkum Bhagya Episode Discussion Thread||-#2 Q-pg 77,78,80 - Page 29

Oh Krishu so many interesting thoughts! Unfortunately I'm about to fall asleep so I can't reply as I would like, nor can I update you guys fully on how the episode was received in my house today (short version: dad approved of Abhi telling Tanu off, mom and sis didn't watch :P).

For now just want to say I'm really glad CVs gave us a scene with Abhi, Pragya, and Tanu all confronting the pregnancy situation. I hadn't watched the BTS so I didn't know it was going to be this way, but I found some elements of it really satisfying. Abhi throwing Tanu around I could've done without, but the way he brought up her role in making him get married was very interesting to me. Especially "I told her I wouldn't be able to get out of this relationship once I was in it." All this time I've had in my mind that Abhi always intended to have an end date for his marriage with Pragya, and I haven't been able to understand his letting the complicated situation persist for so long. But I guess I can take this as a hint from the CVs - it makes no sense whatsoever to me, but maybe when Abhi walked into this marriage he didn't have any sense of an exit strategy. Maybe he was resigned to accepting it as permanent all along, regardless of what he told Pragya.

I don't know...a lot to build on a few words, but it's playing in my mind.

Also, I actually liked when he told Pragya, "I don't believe it, and I won't let you believe it either." Presumptuous and high-handed, but since we know that he's actually on the side of truth here, I could side with him in saying this.

I've been writing a couple of versions of these conversations for some fics that *fingers crossed* will hopefully be finished before this track ends (...yeah don't count on it 😕), so it was really really interesting to see CVs explore some of the same issues that I'm trying to cover. This question of trust and belief between AbhiGya really intrigues me...and if I weren't falling asleep I'd ramble at length. Probably won't have a chance until after tomorrow's ep, though, so we'll see what we see!

Mina like you yes love the confrontation with all of them there...and that Line is like a Double Edged Sword really...

Hello All,

Posting my first review here and interested to see an open and balanced viewpoint.

This track intrigues me to say the least, I'm very curious about what Tanu has done behind the scenes. CVs have taken a lot of time in showing her desperation in losing modelling contracts and how desperate she has become. It is very likely she did sleep with someone for her career but it's equally likely she did not and it could be Abhi's child. At this point, I;m keeping an open mind till I know more.

In yesterday and today's episode, Pragya did two things that struck me as odd yet compelling. She asked but Tanu and Abhi if they loved each other, SEPARATELY, Tanu said yes and Abhi said nothing at first and then hesitated. This probably sent a signal to Pragya she's on the right track.

I also didn't understand why Abhi would be so vague in explaining to Dadi about Pragya's behavior. If he now knows Tanu is pregnant, he should have comforted Dadi Daasis more than he did. I found his behavior strangely distant. I think he wants to clear the - Is she pregnant question- before getting Dadi Daasis involved, that's fair enough.

Tanu has done a convincing job in the scenes with Abhi and Pragya. I don't doubt Pragya has the impetus she needs to continue on this path. But Abhi & Tanu aren't children and neither are they immune to what happens in the industry and relationships.

This marriage can't be forced. I don't know yet if the ratings are reliable enough to drag this track for months but I am mentally preparing for a potential short term TaBhi marriage/Abhigya separation at this point. All options are on the table in my book 😊

Heehee...one thing my mind is definitely not open to - a Tabhi marriage of any duration. Not just that I dislike the notion, but that I simply don't see it happening. CVs seem disinclined to throw a hard separation onto AbhiGya. This being a soap I admit that we'll probably see one someday, but in my opinion not anytime soon. I've been convinced this whole track that Pragya is not leaving MM in the foreseeable future, and I still feel the same. Cvs could maybe find a way to have Abhi married to Tanu while Pragya still says in MM but that doesn't seem to be the kind of drama they are interested in.

More thoughts later. Thanks for your review Dee!

The only reason I say this Mina is because most of their tracks have taken two months and this might too but this is their biggest delay in the Abhigya union, why wouldn't they use it longer? I'm hoping they don't but why wouldn't they?

After Tanu leaves the scene, I'm sure we will have more twists and turns but this is by far the most important Abhigya track in their entire story, the crux of the marriage, I don't see it getting over so quickly.

Right, but turning it into their marriage breaking and him marrying Tanu is more than stretching the romance. That kind of total obliteration isn't necessary yet since what they've built of AbhiGya has mostly been under the surface.

Review 19th May'15

I dunno how you guys still think it might be Abhi's baby. I'm convinced it's not. I was convinced that there IS a baby but since Friday I'm not sure. This Tanu's behaviour isn't fitting any theory to me!
