Ok guys, here we go...mission goal: to not be devastated by the end of the episode. Let's see how it goes!

I'm watching alone on my laptop now, having put it off until the very last thing before bed. Maybe not the best choice. Dad said he's not into the current track and willing to skip this episode anyway.

Abhi "catching" her "red-handed" with Champak's coat is so. so. so. ludicrous. But before you laugh, consider - in real life, women get misunderstood and blamed for less. Don't want to believe it? Count yourself lucky not to ever have witnessed it. It happens way more than it should - which is to say, it happens, and it never should.

Tanu ranting about besharmi - so ridiculous how we're supposed to take this seriously. The girl is pregnant by a one night stand. As far as Abhi knows, she's pregnant by a night of drunken mistake. She is the living symbol of sexual promiscuity - and we're supposed to take her declaration that Pragya is "besharam" with any kind of reality. Abhi does take it seriously.

Oh, it upsets me SO MUCH that they're using KIDNAPPING TRACK flashbacks here. Devaluing that ordeal is such a betrayal to the relationship and the fans.

HAHHH, but this flashback with the red chunni moment in MMS track is a nice track. Casual viewers might not know this but Abhi should - remembering when she was going to marry someone else, taking the blame for a false infidelity accusation, because you wanted that and it would save your career - that's why you're remembering that, right Abhi? You're remembering how you played her and how you used her. You're remembering the last time this question came up And you're finding her...in the wrong. God knows by what logic.

"Benaam rishta woh"...they are ruining all these flashbacksss. BUT. Mina, they don't care, they don't care, they don't care. Abhi doesn't make sense, Abhi is not a real guy, Abhi's memories and choices and feelings are all manufactured. Don't feel bad for him and don't feel mad that they're trying to make you feel bad for him. This is what they do.

Oh, but Pragya's face in those Champak flashbacks. Hey, model husband, model lover, model man - do you not see how uncomfortable she was? How can you not? Can you see beyond your nose? Why do you expect anything of her or from her if you can. not. SEE. her!

Uff this Pragya bhi naa. She doesn't understand Abhi at all. Or does she? She thinks he's acting pricey so she's go towards him. I don't think that's a wrong reading of him, he does jerk her around like that (or more charitably, that's how he expresses affection/attachment - I am not charitable like that from the goodness from my heart, but from an academic neutrality aspect only). But oh how it hurts to see her misreading him now when she's about to get hurt. Oh oh oh.

The beautiful, intricate, detailed extends to which CVs have gone to build up this Champak thing! It came from nowhere but they're spending episodes on it at this party itself so that we have to take it seriously.

Tanu crowing about success. Oh Tanu how I want to see you fail. You never suffer enough in proportion to the suffering you cause. Sigh.

Nikhil says Tanu doesn't think far enough. I agree. Nikhil says he's drowning Pragya. I'm fearing he's going to get "goddamn" close, to quote him.

Pragya thinking he's hot and cold, first the flowers, now the hostility. Oh babe...tackle him in a corner somewhere. Put on your glasses and try to talk tot he fool, please.

Pragya suspects Tanu of misleading Abhi. SO CLOSE. GOD SO CLOSE.

Oh this Raccho scene is Welcome Back party all over again. Bulbul instigated the whole MU about the kiss that wasn't a kiss. And now Raccho is messing everything up with "innocent excitement" about the proposal plan. Oh. This is depressing.

It's so hard not to be affected. I want better for Pragya and from Pragya and this whole serial is against her this is an exercise in madness.

11 min 52 seconds left. Lord help me endure.

Pragya, what are you waiting for? If you've realized he was about to propose before the phone call, why aren't you snatching the first chance to speak to him, NOW? "Suniye, you were telling me something life changing...?"

Ahhh, the day Abhi has to watch Pragya move on with an actual HOT guy...I will be pleased guys. I am telling you I will be pleased. Yes, I'm still holding out for that. Still expecting it to happen.

Is Abhi going to ask himself what Pragya sees in Champak? Why she wants him, instead of Abhi himself? Is anyone going to ask that.

LOL at Mithali's circles...in real life it would be very weird to have someone walking around openly creeping like that.

Why is Sarla not at the birthday party? Because Tanu still lives in MM?

Why is there even a birthday party? This cake cutting feels childish to me.

Trying so hard not to curse Abhi, guys...oh, guys. I could turn blue with curses. It would help me feel better. But it's against the rules

Ah, yes, indeed Pragya, he was planning to propose at the cake cutting.

Why is Tanu allowed to talk at Pragya's party. Also what do you mean kis khushi se cake kat rahi ho? It's her birthday.

Seriously why is anyone letting Tanu talk. Nothing happened in front of anyone until she brought it up. Why. Why. Why.

Abhi has every right to question his legal wife. Abhi has every right to take fake divorce signatures. Abhi has every right to tell Pragya to move on.

Pragya has ever right to suffer every minute of every day for choosing not to move on from her life.

SO. SO. SO HARD TO STAY NEUTRAL. WHY AM I EVEN TRYING. Wait, I am not trying. It's too hard.

So Tanu gets to start a fire from absolutely nothing and no one stops her.

Being Abhi's wife, how can you be in a relationship with any other man? I don't know Tanu. Being Abhi's girlfriend, how can you be pregnant by Nikhil. Being the mother of Nikhil's child, how can you be Abhi's girlfriend and fiancee. Being Pragya's husband, how can Abhi keep a relationship with any other woman, namely you. Lord how it frustrates me that people see distinctions between these questions and have different expectations from each player. Talk about wrong and right. That is wrong.

Yes Pragya doesn't "dare" tell the truth. Because it's a coward who is standing here keeping Tanu's secret when she knows she won't be believed without truth.

Galat ho, besharam ho, baaton sune padega - god but what have WE done to have to listen to this.

Pragya says Tanu is besharam and Tanu completely writes it off. Hey guess how Pragya married Abhi, Tanu? You talked him into it. Daadi talked him into it. Most people in the room know one or both sides of that story. How can you say pata nahin hai?

4 minutes left. HARD TO WATCH.

Pragya is accused of PRETENDING to be a good wife. Why even TRY, babe. You don't credit it when you do it. Opposite you get blamed for trying. SIGH.

Same old retread of questions of Pragya stealing Abhi's wealth. Are we FINALLY heading to resolution, CVs? Is this how you're recouping the dramatic momentum you dragged out until it dithered away?

PUJARAN? PUJARAN!!! CVS ARE SNEAKING ON...places where people say Pujaran. Sorry if that didn't make sense, it makes sense in my head.

Look at how sad Abhi looks. Pragya called characterless. We have been here before. It was Abhi calling her this last time, alone against a closet door. New scene, different accuser, same accusation. So much mileage for the CVs.

Pragya is blamed for not giving Abhi a husband's happiness or even the status of a husband. It's so easy to blame women from the outside. Try explaining the circumstances - no one wants to listen to the painful details. But the scandalous accusations, the failings - oh yes. High drama. Nevermind that Abhi didn't want to be Pragya's husband. Nevermind that Abhi has never given Pragya a wife's happiness or status. It's Pragya's failing, alone, singularly. Tanu can say this and we can give merit to her words because hey - it's all technically true. Doesn't matter why.

Tanu says Pragya married with wrong intentions. So. Much. Nonsense. Suresh Chashmish, Champak Chashmish.

Tanu claims to accept her faults in front of everyone. Is that a defense for being characterless now?

Pragya says it's all falsehood driven by Tanu's hate. Very true. Too bad it won't get her out of this.

Ah. Here we go. Tanu says she will bring Praya's truth in front of everyone with proofs. Once again, CVs turning everything around on us. That's what Pragya's supposed to do, her big success. Tanu gets to do it instead. Oh.

Precap - Abhi frowning like a little baby. Nice, sir. Let your women fight it out in front of you. Say nothing of your stakes in it. This method of showing him really frustrates me. Excuse me if I turn around and turn him into an impossible mature, responsible and proactive adult male in my fics.

Guysss...there are ways to be calm and neutral and analytical about what's going on but damn if I can do it right now. That was really unpleasant. Heart jolting, vein burning unpleasant. The kind of yuckiness that makes you depressed about life overall. Not what a show should ever do, but that's what you get for watching what is, ultimately, entertainment meant for someone else. Is that someone else real or mythical? I don't know. I'm guessing there's some section of the audience who is supposed to watch this and find it interesting but not be deeply affected by it. And since CVs are writing for them...things will get worse before they get better. Sigh.

BIG HUGS to everybody who is affected by this messed up turn. We're all crazy to watch something that makes us unhappy, but at least we're crazy together? Haaye.

Thank you for the show Mina !!! 🤗

Seriously I am not soo hurt because Abhi did not defend Pragya for Champak allegations ..

The other things are bothering me more .. He stood silent for wrong allegations .. Pragya never trapped him in marriage .. And their marriage did not go to next level not because of Pragya but because of him and his MU . He very well knows what is Prgaya's stand on Suresh ..

Since Pragya returned as LM , lot of times Sarla Ma, EV bashed her saying she cheated her GOOD husband ..

But that was not complete fact... YES Pragya cheated him and took his property but ABHI was never a good husband in fact never a husband to her .. Can he man up and accept that ? But NOO .. he never admitted that. That coward act to keep quite and maintain the "MAHAN PATI " false image is super disgusting to me ..
