Monday Jan 18 epi - 4 scenes from KKB - Pretty good ones! I liked the KKB scenes

All scenes pointing to Tanu exposure!

I hope Mithali exposes Tanu fully - her entire list of crimes after the baby truth comes out!

Dadi shouldn't be so laid back about Abhi's baby. Because it's not! Rachna looked so pretty.

It was sad to see Pragzy gasping for breathe in the truck as Abhi was angry with her. Pragya now knows Tanu is with the baby daddy. But more dragging to know it's Nikhil. She has no cell phone with her, wonder what that means? Wow, even the taxi wala is helpful. He followed the car and saved Pragya. But not Abhi!

Abhi-Purab scene - This scene reminded me of the names-metaphors I shared in the post! Abhi is rejecting Pragya and making wrong choices that may take him to a downward spiral. He misunderstands and misjudges Pragya again and again. Their worlds are so different! He lacks better judgement and reading people! He doesn't get the complexity of the situation she's out to nab a killer. Purab handled him fantastically! Poor Purab! He keeps telling Abhi he lost his love and he shouldn't lose his. But no use. Looks like Abhi is going to the mall to perform, not to save Pragya. Can Abhi pull himself out of his rut?

Tanu exposure will come with a price. Differences are growing between Pragya and Abhi.

@prani -Wht a naming analysis ,prani !! Kalakitta po !! :)

I guess I liked today's ep, though I'd have liked it better if I didn't have to sit through 1.5 hours mixed with shows I don't watch. I really didn't like anything about this Pragya in the trunk business, and bless that taxi driver for helping her out. Tooo funny that she left her phone behind, I'm hoping that there's a conversation between Abhi and the taxi-walla that's at least as funny as Abhi's completely random rant to Sid (who I feel like he knows, according to other mahaeps??? Idk) thinking he was Pragya and then thinking he was a stranger answering Pragya's phone...🤣

I don't know about anyone else but I think that in the scene with Raccho's baby, Daadi wasn't feeling bad about the not-Tabhi baby, but about the idea that there's no hint when Abhi might indeed ever have a baby...ehhh too much to hope maybe. Indu Daasi is hilarious though. Be careful what you wish for Daasi. A world with two Abhis would be intense indeed.

Hmm what else...Abhi's line about putting an alcoholic in front of alcohol, very interesting, I want to rewatch that scene. And reminded me of that old anthem, "Addicted" - "I'm addicted you / heartbreaker" . Wish we could have a random interlude of Abhi singing that on stage 😉

LOVEDDD Purab's departing speech today, and that he was willing to go off looking for Prags without Abhi. Some awesome things he said. Love the Arjit-Shabbo screen chemistry in general. Purabhi scenes are often so delightful to watch because they're so natural with each other.

Looking forward to Prags in her white dress tomorrow! Don't really care about anything else, all same old same old in my opinion. Wheee.

Today's scenes confirmed a theory I had for a while about KKB. Crazy as it sounds, I liked the name of the show and the names of characters in the context of the story.

Abhishek - very traditional/vedic name for a westernized, unconventional rockstar. Hmmm! Abhishek usually refers to God who is the glorified and anointed one. And one that is bathed in various sacred items to wash away impurities.

Pragya - very spiritual word usually spelled Prajna meaning subtle knowledge, or a very intelligent one.

Tanu - literally means body (Tanushree - Embodied one)

Purab - disha (direction) - East as in India/eastern

To me, the names are metaphors in the story.

Abhi, the glorified rockstar is going through a purification process to remove false blame and delusional qualities.

Pragya is the purifier, trying to remove his impurities through knowledge about the villains. She's trying to help him transcend his comfort zone of the concrete and physical like Tanu. It's hard for Abhi to move from the concrete to the subtle. That's why he finds Pragya's ways indirect and complex. Being subtle is not his strength. He doesn't get subtlety at all! Subtlety is Pragya's comfort zone!!

He rejects Pragya's ways and misunderstands her because she operates in a different realm. He tried to bring her down to his zone in patao mugambo, but Pragya rose above that. Realizing Pragya will not be brought down, he went back to his familiar territory of Tanu.

To end his problems and save himself, Abhi needs to makes a conscious choice to accept Pragya on his own. After all the exposures, even if dadi and others tell him, my guess is Abhi may not accept Pragya. Not right now?? Should Pragya be more forthcoming about some things she's doing? Yes, she should. When she tried that and she has, Abhi did not understand her or accept her ways and shut her up. To accept Pragya, the way he thinks needs to change. That's where Purab comes in. Purab plays the rishi of the east, like Yoda of StarWars to interpret stuff for Abhi and help him understand Pragya. And that's going to take time.

My guess even if Pragya exposes Tanu, it's not going to be an automatic union for Abhi and Pragya. If anyone is waiting for that to happen soon, it's up to Abhi! This show is extremely slow moving, very concentrated on just the lead couple with very few diversions in the plot. I'm preparing for a long time for Abhi to change. It may be at the end of the show!! Just my interpretation of the plot using the names in the show.

Can somebody summarize JUST THE KKB parts of the episodes of 18th? I saw the 19th, but am left w/o the context of what happened on 18th. First of all, these ass wipes mix up several shows together, leaving us groping in the dark, and then, the uploads are deleted by Dailymotion on the request of Zee, who itself doesn't upload anything more than a 5 minute webisode,of which the 18th has still not been uploaded!!! F🤬 Ekta & her CVs.

Saw the episode of 19th, where Pragya almost catches Nikhil, but again, these ass wipes had to drag Abhi in. It'll take another 6 months before Pragya IDs Nikhil as Tanu's baby daddy.

Only good, and funny scene was Mitali openly describing her suspicions to the family. Now Raj has to be wary of her 😆

Abhi keeps telling Pragya that he wants to forget her and her memories and move on with life...and yet if he gets a hint of her moving on with hers, he gets possessive. 😆 Like Sid picking up Pragya's phone or when Pragya was trying to run after Nikhil. Oh boy, what does this guy want? Not that I didn't like his possessiveness, but then I saw the precap and sighed. He's never going to change.

Fun episode!! Loved the precap too. Show is in good health.

Major stuff: Pragya gets into to the trunk of Takhil's car, but can't hear anything other than that the person in the car is Tanu's baby daddy. Pragya's phone has no network, so she can't inform Purab or Daadi. Nikhil locks the car, but her cab driver follows her and opens the trunk for her and she leaves her phone with him accidentally. Meanwhile, Abhi is with Purab and tried to avoid going upstairs to avoid Pragya. But Purab tells him to face his problems and tells him to go upstairs to find Pragya missing. Purab starts to get worried for Pragya as she doesn't pick up her phone and tells Abhi that Pragya might be in trouble and she has gone out to catch Aaliya's accomplice who could be dangerous. Abhi doesn't take him seriously and cracked jokes, but Purab was amazing and gave an amazing, somewhat sassy reply!

Scenes that I liked:
Abhi tries to call Pragya, but dials the wrong number but Sid from another show picks up. And Abhi is all possessive like what are you doing with Pragya's phone 😆

Purab explaining to Abhi that Pragya is in trouble, but then is like if you don't want to go out and find her, I will. And says "Shaadi mubarak ho"
