Am a goner for most part. I liked yesterday's episode. As you guys are aware, I usually discount all the logic of the villainy. For me it is the Abhi-Pragya relationship alone that matters plus characters like Purab, Pragya's family, dadi and so so. With a long show, I am usually prepared for unclosed loops, catastrophes of different kinds and unsolved ends that make main and peripheral characters seem lacking in intelligence.

Setting apart the whys and hows of Pragya reaching Abhi-after-Nikhil on the run, I will not find fault for Pragya for stopping him. I would have too in her place. If my man was on a recovery trail himself with memory lapses and related physical manifestations, I wouldn't want him personally chasing a potential criminal. I quite enjoyed her PDA and her near-confession too- very organic. Loved both their expressions in that scene- Abhi's that of realising the depth of her attachment and Pragya's- her spontaneity. Abhi should have absolutely no doubt now on whether she loves him or not. I also didn't mind her mothering tirade with the first-aid. That's her right.

Also, I have seen plenty of macho men cringe at dettol and needles. So, Abhi's reactions are quite rational, given he can't take even a cockroach😆. Nikhil's escape- no comments. Having no police on the scene- no comments.

Mili, nice review.

I loved yesterday's episode too.

I did not like Pragya's dialouges.
PDA was never my problem.

Nikhil escaping - I knew it would happen. I was happy Abhi tried his best.

Cerealgirl, may I ask when was Pragya logical and intelligent?

The only time I can quote is her taking on Aakash during Rachna issue. And some occasional stuff...

But a lot of her decisions and moves have been so wrong and harmful to herself, her folks and Abhi..


For example...

Choosing to live in a revenge marriage..

Bringing Tannu home and making Abhi promise to marry her

Agreeing to go for Mogambo act and all her ways during the act

And her inability to take on Taaliyah/Nikhil..

Forgiving Aaliyah and sending her to Australia

I can specifically count a 100 such decisions if I had that time.

None of these are decisions of a logical and practical person.

Pragya is definetly not smart.
I would agree if I am told knowledgeable but smartness... No!

Abhi, Alia are the smarter ones in the show for me.

The brother - sister duo are absolutely fantastic.
The only thing is she is evil and he is nice.

May be we need to tone down our behavioral expectations from both the KKB leads!


If we closely observe from begining of KKB till now technical crew, cast, creative team, writing team - people working behind and before camera have undergone some changes in the show. But from a writing angle be it any new track, plot or sub-plot both male and female leads thought process, behavior, attitude, dialogues, reactions, consistency and original characterizations have definitely been compromised many times. Its not just with the leads various other important characters in the show have been at times rather butchered by CVs/Writers confusing regular viewers to the core on what's wrong with this character?


Except for retaining that both the leads are basically good souls attached to their families well being, one being calm preferring a simple lifestyle and the other being hyper with a luxurious lifestyle as a celebrity, remaining important factors that the leads need to carry with them as basic qualities have not been consistently focussed, thus causing annoyance to many viewers. Whether it is in fiction world or in real world, change is intrinsic to human behavior. Our opinions undergo change based on facts and realizations, learning's in life make one more mature, more knowledgeable, more self introspective and at times more cautious. Even with several changes when we observe closely overall innate character, basic ethics, some core behavioral patterns may still remain with people for several years.


So other than accepting that KKB writers haven't been doing real justice in respecting, nurturing, utilizing characterizations and the backgrounds of leads most efficiently under various circumstances, don't think we viewers have any other say when dialogues, behaviors and scenes become bouncers on us when we compare to what the leads were supposed to be vis-a-vis how they have been whether it is with or without MU's or ML's. Acceptance, avoidance and even ignorance may help reduce some annoyance. I'm slowly following it with regards to this show.


To be fair, yes some consistency has been maintained by writers with some characters like Aliya. Her dialogues 'I hate Arora sisters and will destroy Pragya, will never allow Pragya to lead a normal married life and control my bhai's life', and her obsession to some how get Purab under her control. Also Tanu's taglines in the show and her determination to become Mrs.Rockstar at any cost have been consistently maintained by writers.
😆


Don't know if its Ekta or Anil Nagpal or somebody else who keep giving few clear instructions to the crew.

Looks they always insist to clearly maintain their three ends in mind while writing weekly episodes -

1)that Tanu's respect, status, evil nature and crimes should always be safeguarded from Abhi, society and media, she shouldn't ever meet her goal of becoming Mrs.Rockstar and
2) that Aliya's obsession of getting Purab for herself, her motive of controlling Abhi's life & wealth by destroying Pragya shouldn't be met completely and
3) that both leads should be alive, come what may be the no. of attacks or accidents against them, whether they get to live under same roof within a legal or emotional bond or not. 😉


When we also keep reminding ourselves about writers three ends in mind while watching or reading updates of episodes week on week, it becomes little easier in reducing our annoyance.

Good afternoon everyone !!!!!

I watched early today. Boy, am I glad I did⭐️ Fantabulous episode today. Here goes:

I felt mildly bad for Alia today. I still don't know why she looks at Pragya as her enemy. If she knew her better, she would have known that Pragya is not a threat to her at all. She is not the possessive kind of wife to Abhi who wouldn't tolerate his attention towards his sister or family, nor is she responsible for Purab not having a romantic inclination towards her. I guess, she just decided to transfer her feelings of disappointment towards an innocent bystander and she found that in Pragya😒. I don't know if Alia will start her reformation, I feel like she is too far gone to stop here. But how I wish for her to turn around and do the right thing by her bhai, bhabhi and her so called love, Purab. I just hope she doesn't get sacrificed at the end of the show🤢

Sriti, Shabbir just lived in those scenes, the play of emotions on their faces is out of this world👍🏼❤️.

All in all, a fantastic episode. I liked it at so many levels. Thank you writers, directors for giving us this episode👏. The brother and sister duo whacked the villains today👍🏼 Loved that meaningful Abhi, Pragya embrace❤️. I know my review cannot do justice to today's episode. I will wait to see if we get Naina's GIF review for this wonderful episode😉 ( only if you have time and energy to do it, Naina, no pressure ) Don't miss it guys.

Audience definitely expect the characters to have a graph and there should be a change - either positive or negative. Especially when the show is running very long and there isnt much real progress in the plot.

LA, I really like the way you put up your views and I absolutely agree with what you wrote...👏👍🏼

LA 2725, I completely get where you are coming from.

Uma.. you can call me happy. It's nice to hear you are happy when you type 😆

I dint take it like you meant me. I said it in general too. 😆

I quoted your review and said what I liked and did not like based on the things you highlighted. 😛

Uma, I love Pragya's concern for Abhi. We have a term for Pragya in Abhi AT - Group leader 😆
She is beyond all of us who admire Abhi. She is like our leader. I don't doubt her intentions.

For me the issue here is her lines but than like you always say "we should hear and forget them may be"

Oh whew... good 🤗 All's happy that ends happy 😆
