In part with keeping the forum active -- here's a topic that we can all enjoy; engaging in some friendly discussion: foreshadowing.
😛
Whether it is positive or negative in nature - Kumkum Bhagya is ripe with foreshadowing. I'm an ardent believer that nothing is ever random on this show - be it dialogue or something symbolic -- I truly believe that everything said and done will eventually come full circle.
Let's all name some notable moments that you've noticed.
Here are a few of mine:
1. Abhi's professes his love -- Our current track: Abhi searching for his Fuggy.
During his confession Abhi vowed to Pragya that no matter what her answer was - no matter how she felt - he didn't care. All he knew was how he felt. And as a result, wherever she went - she would always find him there, because he would always search for her. And if he couldn't find her then he would be patient, but above everything else - he would always look for her in everything and everywhere.
At the time, it seemed as though those words pertained to the accident that eventually followed. Abhi was frantic. He searched everywhere for her...and yet they never met.
Instead what we saw was an interesting conversation - that of which, took place between Abhi and Arjun. Both men discussed love, trust and faith. The gist of the conversation: that this was Abhi's test. Yes he couldn't find Pragya. Yes, he returned home empty handed. But his faith never wavered. His love remained true. And his trust...was about to be tested.
Pragya did return to him. But when she did she claimed that she wasn't his Fuggy. And our Rockstar - he does not believe her.
Our current track is now fulfilling the vow Abhi had made. He's on a mission here: he's searching for his Fuggy, who is lost somewhere inside this new Pragya -- he's searching just like he vowed he would always do when he confessed his love to her. He won't give up. He'll keep searching until he finds her. He'll wait as long as it takes, for her to return to him. His trust in her is strong.
2. Purab's warning: when will you tell her you love her? When she leaves?!
Though said in frustration. Purab's words sadly came true. The day Abhi finally confessed...a few hours later Pragya left MM for good.
3. Hate Track: Abhi telling Pragya - even if you lay dying in a hospital, I wouldn't come.
This was said during the height of his misunderstanding. Of course looking back at it now - Abhi would rather take a bullet to the chest (heh. Oh wait he did!) than ever say something so cruel. But this did essentially happen. Yes, he searched like a madman for her, but the girl did flatline -- technically dying in a hospital without him around.
4. Contradiction: Wealth vs Kumkum -- Bhagya's inside joke.
This show made a point in its earlier days of hinting that there would come a day where Abhi would lose everything. But at the same time we learned that Pragya was Abhi's Lakshmi -- as long as she was with him, he would be prosperous and fine. Now the day she left - that would spurn his downfall. And yet we were also told that Kumkum and Bhagya would overpower all: Pragya would never leave him, because they were fated - nothing could ever tear them apart...hence our current track: Pragya did leave Abhi - and yet she didn't. Abhi lost everything - but it was Pragya who usurped it all in an attempt to save him. Beautiful irony.
5. Tilak to the rescue!
Who could forget that scene where Pragya prayed and asked God to end all of Abhi's troubles and to help fix their situation. She begged for a sign and what we got was Abhi unknowingly receiving Tilak after refusing it from Pragya.
It was the sign she needed and what happened next shook the show to its core.
Because really, what has always been abhigya's biggest source of trouble? Tanu's pregnancy drama - no. It was the lie that they've been living with since Pragya entered MM: the truth of their marriage.
Yes a lot of unnecessary drama was created. Yes, the situation spiraled - but Tilak did protect and did exactly what was needed. Yes, Tanu's drama is dripping with deciet but the end result remains the same: abhigya now have a blank slate. Once Tanu is exposed, they no longer carry that weight. They're free to move on without worrying about their biggest secret to date being exposed. It's all out in the open (well the need-to-know parts anyways).
I'm sure there's a million more. A few more actually still come to mind, but I'm curious to see other perspectives.
