Welcome to the brigade! There are five or six of us who have been wishing this since IK's last show ended 😆

I don't think IK will make an appearance in kkb, over the years he has become performance oriented . he quits shows if they don't satisfy him as an artist he did patch with Ekta but Pkhjd is a good project, very different from regular soaps...and if Iqbal does make an appearance, then EK would have to write a powerful role for him!!

Jan 21

I had mixed feelings about today's episode. Sorta ho hum!!!

Abhi's plea to Pragya - to divvy up the entire property b/w all family members - made good sense. He could have asked her to include him in that as well, if the question of covering Tanu also came up. This is something that Pragya should have brought up w/ Dadi. When this whole thing is over, Abhi would do well to divvy up the property so that Raj, Aliya et al don't continue plotting against him.

I'm not getting why Sarla is still in the dark on all this, and why Dadi needs to be consulted. Dadi wasn't consulted when Purab caught Bulbul & Pragya, so why consult her now? Tell Sarla the whole truth about Pragya's situation and why she had to do that.

The convo b/w Takhil - while I don't like Nikhil going along w/ Tanu here, I did love him warning her if anything happened to his baby. I know there have been doubts on Nikhil's motivations, but I don't think it's a mystery. More than Tanu, what he cares for is his baby - that's how any expectant father would react. If Tanu is cut open and the baby handed over to Nikhil, he'd be perfectly satisfied. Why would he be motivated to leave his baby w/ Abhi?

I like the new partnership b/w Mitali and Ronnie, and I just LOVED Mitali stumbling in on Tanu. I just wish Mitali had overheard Nikhil's name, so that if the occasion arises, she can mention it to Pragya. But right now, in her attempt to discover the third guy, she's likely to hit false leads, and that will be funny to watch. Incidentally, Ronnie being there is one thing, but where's Abhi's assistant Payal?

I do like that Pragya has started sowing the seeds of doubt in Abhi by telling him that Tanu is only after his cash. In the precap tomorrow, Abhi sees a card that has (Nikhil's) greetings for Tanu, and confronts her on this That's good news, and hopefully the beginning of things unwinding for Tanu.

Theres a lot of mixed feelings as to the current track as to who is wrong. Regardless, both Pragya and Abhi are currently being annoying in general. However, what makes me confused is why everyone keeps blaming Pragya? They showed that she was going to tell Abhi the truth, but Daadi stopped her after the accident. And then just a few days ago she straight up asked Abhi that had she just told him the truths, would he have believed her and he stayed silent. She would have still been his Fuggy, but he couldn't guarantee that he would believe her? So isn't she doing the right thing in providing him proofs? She literally only saw two days of Abhi's love (the confession night and the next day). Otherwise, she has only heard from him of how much he loved her. Just like he can't promise that he'd believe her (though he had witnessed Alia's wrongdoings in the past), why do we put the pressure on Pragya to trust him just as much?

After a long time I am watching on tv with my laptop on hand! So I shall do my live epi reacting, sometimes known as the Mina show. For those of you who haven't seen me do this before, it's kind of random and incomprehensible, so feel free to ignore...or ask questions for clarity!

Now here we go...

First scene, Daadi, Prags, Raccho

ARGHHH DAADI what do you mean jhoot omg this makes me so upset. We're supposed to believe Abhi and Pragya are divorced???? This does not fit my understanding of genre standards I am so confused and UPSETTT

Prags so ready to do Daadi's bidding. FORGET IT PRAGS. LEAVE ALL THIS. God I hate what Prags has become for the Mehras.


Next scene, Purab Sarla

I love how Purab calls Sarla "Maa". Saachi I like Purab more and more, the less he's involved with Bulbul or Aaliya. Sarla bhi na??? Tujhse mera koi rishta bhi nahin hain? Couldn't find a kinder phrase?????

Takhil scene lolzzz so coupley how SWEET. If Nikhil weren't a creepy obsessed stalker I'd totally shop this.

Lol Mithali what??? Halfway leaning into the room 🤣

Prags talking to abhi's picture

a scene type I didn't miss. and playing AW too???

HAAYE ABHI WEARING A GROWN UP SHIRT. NO SKULLS. I'm so impressed. Whose wardrobe did you invade Abhi?

Did I say I liked his passive aggressive barbs? That was yesterday. Today I can't stand him and his pain. Go away, Abhi's whiny pain. Grow up. Don't be a jerk. Oh who am I even talking too.

Hehe bless Prags holding her ground. You don't have control over her thoughts, k???? Haha.

AW again. Corrupting the meaning of this song for this jodi man. Don't use it for these scenes. But like it's not like it's new for them to do this.

Abhi wiping his lips. Is he having thoughts maybe?? Thinking something over??? I get so hopeful when he looks pensive.

Furthermore, didn't Abhi do the same exact thing? Didn't he keep Pragya out of his MMS plan? It was her issue and she was being ridiculed by him and every person in the house. He KNEW she was innocent after finding the toy car, yet he kept delivering his taunts towards her. But no one talks about it because he was able to save her in the end. Then whyyy can't we wait for her do the same? When some say that he shouldn't forgive her even if she exposes Tanu...same goes here. She shouldn't have forgiven Abhi even after he helped her. She loved him even after everything he did; why can't he? And yes, Abhi didn't love her at the time whereas Pragya does love him...but does that make a difference? You never trusted her...ever. But now she is supposed to trust you. 😕 The ONLY difference in these two situations is that Abhi works faster; Fuggy takes a while 😆 But everytime she has set up a goal for herself, regardless of whether we agree with it, she has accomplished in the past. So lets keep believing in her.

What she's doing with Sarla Maa on the other hand, I agree, its wrong. Sarla Maa annoys me to no extent, but yes, she should be aware of the plan when Tushar and Aftab have been told of the plan. Please someone take Daadi, I request y'all. 😆

Ahh, and today I must welcome you to another brigade! The brigade of confused Pragya-understanders 😆. Please remind me of your name btw, I'm sorry I don't remember 😳

I really agree with all of your points but you may often find yourself feeling like "everyone" blames Prags. It's against forum rules to talk about fan groups (ie to talk about why other people believe/say certain things about the characters) so really all that can be said is that it comes down to having different opinions. What seems logical, reasonable, and fair to one person may not seem the same to another. Whether we're able to understand someone who thinks the opposite of us or not...it's not going to change how that other person thinks. Everyone watches the same show, but we don't all arrive to the same conclusion. So while there could be specific answers to your questions and examples (and since I agree with you I'm not the person to give those answers), the fundamental answer is this - because the people who blame Pragya see things differently. Bas! Hope that helps, sorry if it's not satisfying. Just the state of the world 😊

Abhi asking Pragya to prove things. Bro what even. Do you trust her or not? Do you believe in her goodness or not? Can you please make sense for god's sake?

Dad: I'm tired of hearing he can't stand this! Why doesn't he just investigate why his wife is doing this and figure it out! Eyy Abhi tera bardasht nahin hota kyun! Spineless submissive character. He's not a dominating character. They've shown Pragya as a domination character.

...lol Dad is in an anti-Abhi mood today. In other days he's in anti-Pragya mood. No predicting with him 😛

scene with abhigya in their bedroom

YUCK THIS SCENE. Do not want. do not like. no nono no no no.

Waise everything Abhi is saying is fine and sound, not a problem. But this whole scene is ugly and upsetting to me, this sitting on the bed watching Abhi tear his heart out.

SIIIGH.

Tune pariwaar banaya tha Abhi? Fascinating. Didn't know you saw yourself like this.

Why is Shabir's face looking so bloated man.

LOL Nice. So Abhi can ask Prags to divide the wealth. Would he have done it himself if the wealth were still in his hands? Interesting dynamics here.

How I wish Tanu's child was Abhi's and she finds out about this wealth splitting plan and says keep your kid but I'm not going to be poor with you bye

Dad: Why doesn't she just tell him he's not the father! Now she's being silent! Foolish woman!

(anti-Pragya mood shift...😆)

OMGGG niceee line prags. are you answering me or deluding yourself. NICEEE.

yay thank you CVs for giving Prags a solid-SOUNDING reason not to let go of abhi's wealth at this juncture. "need to find my sister's killer bro"

eew this precap. is this how a boyfriend questions his girlfriend about a card? or how a father/brother/guardian questions his ward? i know nitpicking but like...yeah didn't work for me. weird scene ahead.

dad: I didn't like Pragya today. She's foolish and insane.

my thoughts overall - yes, this is KKB. 6 parts infuriating, 3 parts exasperating, and 1 part compelling enough to keep me watching. hehehe. i don't know where anything's going but i'm glad that the show is recognisable to me. those few days when it seemed to be logical and reasonably paced REALLY SCARED ME A LOT. uske asar mujh pe kahin din tak rahega...if that makes sense 😛
