After 410 episodes now we're seeing the battle of wills between the ex-girlfriend and the wife! Fantastic that writers let Pragya stand up for herself and against Abhi. That's why this epi is historic to me. Something she should have done a long time ago.

Loved this! Agreed, I'd been aching for this for ages. And she's on the side of truth - a righteousness I can enjoy.

Maybe Abhi's needs to redeem himself from his tendencies first - jumping to misunderstanding, trust issues, anger and violent reactions. Maybe unless he transforms, he's not ready to know the truth about others.

Prani, I really don't believe this will ever happen. Abhi's impulses are always excused by the story in the long run. I don't see this aspect of him changing, because I don't believe that the writers are interested in character development. This would certainly make a compelling arc for a character who is supposed to grow and it's what I would wish for Abhi...but I dare not expect to see it!

Absolutely! Like the way you put it - every word!

Mina - what gave her the confidence you think? Curious!

Thank you 😃

I don't have a proper analysis. But here's a semi-serious, semi-joking one. Right now, she just has too much on her plate to let herself get bogged down by Abhi's completely misplaced rage. She knows what she did and didn't do, and more important than that, she knows what she has to get done. Thus no mental room to tremble vulnerably in front of Abhi's beast mode. Rather a simple, calm, soft-spoken assertion of fact. And no being swayed by his histrionic pressure tactics either - she's not going to chase after him to talk to her, and she's not going to take the onus to prove herself innocent. It's all on him, because she has bigger fish to fry.

Is this reeeally what's going on? No, but I like it 😆

prags belief that all will work out when they win - true in serial world but not in real life. dangerous games to be playing with the emotions of your loved ones.

abhi at his most immature and annoying today i guess. locking her out of the room? whatevs bro.

dad: the 6S is out, why is abhi still using an iphone 4??

Ain't the 4 still an expensive phone in India?

Also, can someone post Monday's update?

Yes, I was thinking similarly, leaving Abhi with a short fuse is important, keeps things open for future tracks 😆

I have hopes we'll see more sassiness from Pragya! It was in hiding for a long while when she was lovestruck Fuggy, but it gets let out to play a lot in this Mugambo mode, and hopefully whatever comes next will allow that too 😃

@Vrish

-Tanu asks Payal to fetch Abhi for her, but Ronnie intervenes, pointing out that Tanu is not Payal's boss
-Tanu goes up to Abhi's room and finds him in the hall, throwing a ball against the door and staring moodily into space
-Tanu tries to apologise again for eating without him to break her KC fast
-Abhi snaps back at her, uninterested in her apology. He also gives her a lecture about caring about other people's feelings or something, I'm the wrong person to recap that for you because I was too busy melting in the heat of his hypocrisy.
-Tanu wanders into AbhiGya's room and hatches an evil plot. She breaks Pragya's chashma and makes it look like Pragya herself has done it. She knows this will outrage Abhi and she's looking forward to the aftermath.
-Abhi walks in to an empty room, and decides he is going to lock out Mugambo for the night so he can enjoy the bed. Then he notices the broken chashma and loses his mind.
-Abhi storms downstairs looking for Pragya. All the family members are in the hall.
-Pragya comes in from outside and starts to say something sarcastic about them all gathering to badmouth her
-Abhi confronts her angrily, half-raising his hand to strike her as he approaches, but she throws up her arms defensively and he drops his hand
-Abhi drags Pragya upstairs to see the broken chashma-
-Abhi yells at Pragya a lot. Pragya tells him she didn't break the chashma. Abhi didn't believe her.
-Abhi vows to not talk to her again until...until I'm not sure what. Until she admits about the chashma, I guess. Pragya says that's fine, neither will she talk to him until he acknowledges that she had nothing to do with breaking the chashma.
-Miscellaneous Taaliya moments at various points in the episode but I don't remember the details
-Precap shows entry of Salman and Sonam...I forget if anything plot-related was shown


A less than neutral recap today...sorry Vrish, couldn't help myself 😛

Oh right...there was a scene where RaBul ask Pragya and Daadi if they can tell Sarla the truth, because they fear for her health. Pragya tells Bulbul that everything will be ok in the end, they can't tell Sarla now.
