This is a general question, nothing to do with the current track as I am avoiding talking about the current track since after the movie promo episode, since my last review, until you know who 😡 gets exposed 😆...

The general question is about Abhi over Pragya. Take this question into account as a whole. When Abhi has ever followed his intuition in regards to Pragya?! Because I don't personally think he ever has...

Anyone is welcome to answer. If anyone wants to prove me wrong, go ahead 😆 and if anyone see's it like the way I do, in which case either way I am interested in you what you have to say about this, about your thoughts 😊 😆...

M with you in this...

weather it's in the initial stages of their wedding or him realising his love or during the start of Tanu preggy track when P said it's an April fool joke or even in the mogambo track... Me never believed his instincts first...

M re watching kkb from the start... I felt P suffered a Lott more than any1 in the show from the start.. If Abhi would have believed his intutions first rather than last they many things could have been avoided... Even after confession A has never showed his love .. Saying that you love some1 and showing your love is quite different and it makes a Lott of difference..

Well this is a show... Cv's are the ones who r writing the script... So I rather would blame the cv's than Abhi or Pragya for anything...

I have been waiting for the revelations in this episode for a very long time. I'm impressed that the CVs did finally go back to that dangling thread of the demolition track - which aired over a year ago. Mithali's misdeed finally came to light. But still, it was a disappointing episode, as everything about Raj's track has been disappointingly written and executed since the beginning. His hatred of Abhi for the jail matter never made any sense. And it really, really disheartens me a lot to see an actor as good as Anurag and an actor as good as Shabir have absolutely zero onscreen chemistry. Maybe that's something about the two of them personally - but a lot of it has to do with the nonsensical and forced nature of their conflict scenes. When Abhi went to see Raj in jail (and he did, it was an extended scene), there hadn't been enough bonding shown between them to make the pathos of that scene compelling. And today when Raj unburdened all the hate in his heart, it didn't have the emotional resonance it should have. Because there just never was that connection with Abhi to make it make sense. I know, I am expecting too much. This is a soap, and the fact of them being cousin-brothers is supposed to be enough to justify the drama. It wasn't for me, and I'm sad that Raj's track has reached its climax without ever being properly setup.

Today felt like a ratings ploy. Top-rate soap drama to appeal to the broad base of viewers. Dad certainly loved it - he made a point of saying he really enjoyed the excitement today. But in story terms, Raj was never really that important. His plotting and betrayal before and now his exposure add some torque to Abhi's pain and Pragya's challenges, but the fundamental problems between them have always had to do with Aaliya, Tanu, Daadi, Sarla and each other. So this doesn't really accomplish anything interesting for the story which is the reason I'm following this soap - AbhiGya's story. I am worried by the precap though. If Abhi thinks Pragya has found Bulbul's murderer, how will she justify holding onto his wealth and staying in his life as she is? She said herself very recently that she would give everything back when that was solved. I wonder how the CVs will deal with this tomorrow.

Never. He's often talked himself out of following his intuition about Pragya's character and motives. For long stretches of past tracks, he deliberately chose not to see the evidence in front of his eyes about her true nature, and over the course of the show he has repeatedly allowed himself to be led to wrong conclusions about her despite having plenty opportunity to know better. But, perhaps he has followed his intuitions sometimes when it comes to saving her. The serial has made use of that idea of the two of them having a bond to "just know" when the other is mortal peril. So there's that to be considered also.

A question I also had after Raj's rantings today - when has Abhi blindly trusted someone, ever? I guess there's an argument to be made that he's trusted Aaliya, Daadi, maybe even Purab. I can dimly recall one or two minor incidents when Abhi even stood up for Pragya when her honesty was put in question. But for all that he's impulsive and gullible...I don't find that Abhi is really all that trusting either. Just a tangential thought.

Thurs Jan 28 epi - One Mehra couple exposed! Very good episode

So Mithali outed her husband at the godown. Back at MM, Raj pours out his hatred on Abhi - his money, status, success. He's angry nobody believed his innocence when he got arrested. He doesn't regret what he did. Why did he out himself? He could have said I just followed my wife or something. Why did he reveal all what he did? Does not make sense.

In your heart, didn't you know I'm innocent, he asked. That's a good question for Abhi. Because we've all been asking Abhi if in his heart, didn't he know Pragya is fuggy? Abhi not trusting Raj turned Raj a baddie? When did both of them have a close relationship? Hmmm... what should Pragya turn into I wonder for Abhi not trusting her?

Raj-Mithali are a contrast to Abhi-Pragya. That's what Abhi should be getting out of all this. Raj trusted a dishonest wife and went the wrong way. Abhi does not trust a pure soul like Pragya and takes the wrong way - all the time.

Raj exposure is more about Abhi trusting the wrong people and misunderstanding the right people. I hope Abhi got that! That's how I'm looking at this!

Why did Raj flip flop today? Gutsy Pragya. She tells Raj it was Mithali who cheated him and got him to sign the papers. From I'll ruin you again and again, Raj flipped asked Abhi to send him to prison. He was devastated. He looked like he went mad. Which Raj am I supposed to believe?

It could be that he needs to take a break from KKB for another show??

Will he end up in a mental hospital? Or is this all a sham and he and Mithali will team up as Abhigya's enemies? I think today's episode is more about the future track.

What happened to Raj should be a wake up call for Abhi about Pragya. Will he get what Pragya is trying to do?

Why did Tanu not show up at the godown? Maybe tomorrow we'll know more.

Precap shows Abhi looking at Pragya deeply. Looks like he's connecting the dots. Very dark mood at MM. But excellent theme of family, power, greed, jealousy, cheating wives - humar behavior at it's worst. Good episode.

Sarla Maa knows the whole truth about Pragya 🥳...Maybe we can see the mother and daughter doing James Bonding along with Purab ...
