HELLOOO EVERYONE!!
Its been a while since I did one (like 3 months?) and was hoping to stay low for longer, but there is so much bakwas I need to say and so here we are :)
Hope you guys have been well!!
P.S. For those who hate long posts, please press "back," kay thanks BYE!
From a forever-confused/commitment-phobic Abhi, we finally got an Abhi who basically said this at the second Abhigya shaadi:
How everyone else reacted when they heard Abhi's memory came back:
How I reacted when I heard that Abhi doesn't remember ML Abhi anymore:
IDK, super unexpected shaadi and super unexpected memory return!! I was so adament the track was going to end sometime in July and they beat me to it!! Anyways, I think of all the things CVs are amazing at doing, one of them is definitely scripting the finales for these tracks. They make the wait so worthwhile.
Acha first of all, CONGO SHONGO Abhigya fans that they got remarried!! Sooo satisfying to watch! Remember the first time, when an anxious Pragz was getting married to a revenge-se-bhara Rockstar, neither one excited or wanting to be in this relationship. Neither one knowing what the future held. Neither one exchanging any glances of warmth, encouragement or support during the rituals they so mechanically performed. And yet, this time, it was the complete opposite. We got Abhi PROPOSING marriage to Pragz (something I NEVER SAW happening), both of them grinning both internally and externally just by the thought of getting shaadi'fied. Abhi patting the stool next to him for Pragz to come and join him, glancing at Pragz every now and then with the utmost admiration, them performing each ritual SO EARNESTLY, saying their vows to each other after each phera, LIKE WHATTT?????
Whoever decided it was high time to show Abhigya remarried, I thank youu from the bottom of my heart ❤️ It was a treat indeed and I am still watching it on loop.
Acha, so yeah, didn't expect his memory to return so quickly. And Shabz nailed the scene where he's so lost. We finally got to see the fear and terror that Abhi was really going thru during his first accident post-Lonavla when Abhi wakes up at Baba's house. He can't believe he's alive, that Pragya is in front of him, that he's getting another chance at life.
HOWEVER. HE DID NOT REMEMBER ML ABHI!!! AND ML ABHI IS MY BABYYY MY CHOTU BACHAAA. Well okay not my chotu bacha because if he was, it'd be weird to say the next line which is that I would marry ML Abhi in a heartbeat. We'd have a half-mandap/half-masjid shaadi. He can do the pheres and I'll say qubool hai 😳
But no in all seriousness, there are so many good Abhigya moments from the ML track, I'd want him to remember how Pragz struggled to be the most special girl in his life again!!! Its one thing Pragz telling him of the ML journey, its another remembering it yourselfff.
Khair, I can't even complain anymore since non-ML Abhi seems to now remember ML happenings too. So point has already been defeated. ML Abhi did merge into non-ML Abhi yesterday.
How I prepared for Pragya's shooting sequence after seeing the promo...
So for those that know me/have followed anything I've written in the past for so long, I've been predicting Pragz getting hurt at the end of the finale of the ML Track for like three years now 😆 But ACTUALLY SEEING that promo and knowing Pragz is going down for the time being...yeah, was so not prepared for it, especially since I didn't expect the track to end so soon anywaysss.
How I still ended up watching the episode and Pragz's shooting sequence:
Okay...lets be honest, I'm being takkaluffi...this is how it really went down:
I wanna ask you guys...who gets the harder-to-watch scenes, Abhi or Pragya? I can't decide. With Abhi's near-death scenes, everything is slowed down and prolonged to the fullest with Pragz getting to be there to have one heartbreak after another. Like they'll show him go through his sufferings with quite a few episodes before moving forward.
But then again, with Pragz, they show everything done and dusted in ONE episode. With Abhi usually not being able to be there with her at a critical point for whatever reason. And then she goes missing from Abhi's life. EQUALLY PAINFUL!!
GUYS. Do you remember this scene?
[YOUTUBE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJ1SnaEqoWo[/YOUTUBE]
I CANNOT BELIEVEEE they brought back the whole Pragz can't swim part. Like that was heartbreakingly TERRIFIC as the reason for Pragz's missing/seperation.
Everything about that scene was horrifying and painful and beautifully executed and brilliantly enacted by our very own TiSha. When the bullet gets shot, no one notices its Pragz! She so quietly falls down. After struggling so hard to be here, be with Abhi, be his happily and willingly- accepted wife, to see her go down like that was really hard :( No one deserves to be in that place, lekin especially not Pragzzz yaar. And Abhi's shock/terror/overwhelming horror to see her covered in blood and not knowing what to do, doing all that he could think of doing at the time-which was beating up Dushyant and telling Pragz he wont let anything happen to her-was perfectly shown by Shabz.
P.S. Like they were so into the scene, did you see the saliva transfer fromm Shabz's mouth to Sriti's cheek. SO IN THE ZONE, nazar na lageee rituals being performed at the moment.
Her last lines were "Mein jaa rahi hoon, I love you." And then when he comes back to find her, the last images he has of her is him chasing her in the high-pressure water while her body drifts away from him. And the next thing he remembers is waking up in his room...without her. HOWWW HORRIFYING.
Theres this whole question of whether he should have left Pragya on the rocks to beat up Dushyant. Like yes, he killed Dushyant-thats great. But had he kept Pragz as his priority at the time, she wouldn't have cascaded away into the water. But while I do think there was a definite error of judgement on his part...who in the right mind has time to make accurate judgement at that time? How he was able to do or think of anything at that moment is applaud-worthy.
When Abhi decided to stay hopeful that Pragz will be back:
*Me giving Abhi a loving saali-wala kiss*
Here is a guy who reacts to unfortunate things in his life with aggression, negativity, drinking and self-pity most of the times. He just got his memory back and found out that not only did he forget his wife who he adores, but that he was falling into Taaliyah's trap and that they were still a very huge part of his life. And then to make it worse, he witnesses his wife getting shot, falling into the water and getting sweeped away. And everyone around him believes she's basically dead and he should accept it.
I was very much prepared to see sulken, Devdas-Abhi and I'm veryyy happy with what they ended up showing. He decided that he can still smell her fragrance in the air (howww adorbs of a line), he can still sense her presence around him, he believes in their love more than ever before, he BELIEVES BHAGWAN IS GOING TO BRING PRAGZ BACK BECEAUSE SHE BELIEVES IN BHAGWAN, he wants to live according to what would make her happy, he has this sixth sense that this wasn't goodbye. And so instead of accepting whatever he's seen and been told, he decides he wants to be hopeful and wait.
I dont even think I have to say much because you probably already read Mili's post on Abhi and it was BOMBASTICCC. If you havent, please click back and go read it. Could not agree more with her views about the mature, responsible, committed and loving husband that we have finally gotten to see in Bae. You can't NOT believe in his love for her. This is the guy that Pragz always needed. Someone who goes by his heart, who doesn't need to be told to make decisions, someone who understands her without someone chiding him into persuasion.
I'm parking the convertible in the garage for the time being, Milz. Bae is bliss right now.
Btdubs. This guy remembers her bday And this was the same guy who when first asked when was her bday had said "kisi mahine, kisi din."
Also before any of you go thinking "oh Naina only likes him when he is good to Pragya"...um no. I love him with his flaws and everything. But um, did you read the sentence above...isn't that common sense to like someone a little more when they're nice to the person who adores them? DUHH. #daffahotothenegativity
When Abhi had loving flashbacks of Mogambo:
*snaps pictures of all those disappointed faces who thought Abhi didn't and couldn't ever love Mogambo...this way it can last longer in my memory* 😃
So in fact, Abhi turned out to have Mogambo flashbacks and I quote him "Last time mujhse meri biwi ne kaha tha...ke mein uska property hoon. Haq nahi, pyaar jitaya tha...aur mein uska ban ke reh gaya."
So, can I please not be nice at the moment and say HA!! He ended up loving her every roop aur dhoop (dhoop?) of Pragz. Including meri fave, Mogambo. And thats the way it should be. When you love someone deeply, you end up loving them NO MATTER WHAT. LIKE PRAGZ LOVED HIM WHEN HE HATED HER AND INSULTED HER AND THEN LOVED HIM WHEN HE LOVED HER AS WELL.
And ABHI FINALLY DOES LOVE HER FOR EVERYTHING SHE IS AND WAS! DO YOU SEE THE CHANGEEE???? IM SO MAHA-HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!
Sorry not sorry that the whole theory of Abhi never loving Mogambo turned out false.
When I hear Abhi did what Pragz couldn't do in two years:
*Crickets chirping* Ummm what did he do...besides beating up Dushyant when he kindaaa should have stuck with Pragz at that moment? And I'm still happy he got to get Dushyant out of the way, even though the cost of that was HUGE.
What else did he do besides that?? Kick out Tanu and Aliyah? Really? Thats all they got for all that they did to Abhigya? I was quite disappointed that their punishment was so little. Everyone made this a big deal that when Abhi will know the truth, just watch what he'll do. Well...he kicked them out so they can revenge him again. They deserved getting imprisoned right then and there for kidnapping, suspected murder, for attempted murder for Abhi when his brakes failed. SO MANY THINGS.
I mean if we're counting Taaliyah getting kicked out as something Abhi did, then I mean...lets not forget Pragz getting Aaliyah kicked out three times now, Vijay arrested and exposing Raj Bhaiyya. She's done a lot. Its just not counted loll. Whereas Abhi doing the same thing is? Okay.
I'm not saying he didn't do anything. He did lots and I'm glad he kicked out Taaliyah and killed Dushyant (is he confirmed killed?). But I dont agree with how he did more than Pragz, since she's done just about this in the past as well. *shrugs*
When there are predictions that Pragz could have died and ppl are okay with that:
'Nuff said. Really dont know why such people watch the show if you want the lead role dying off. I recommend you invest your precious time watching something else, seriously. Abhi would be so disappointed in you. And vice versa if it were Pragz. #DAFFAHO
When Munni entered and gave all those skeptical a ZORR KA LAPPA!!
Not that I doubted Sriti to not be able to pull it off...but when she killed it, this was LITERALLY MY FACE. Sriti, the question now is...what can you NOT do??? The dialect is so on point and this khikitoddd attitude is to DIE FORR (no pun intended). Its like Mogambo but Gaon-wali version!!
I'm kinda bummed Taaliyah got to meet her first, but judging by the recent promo, I'm guessing Abhi will bump into "humra Munni" real soon ❤️ Honestly, this is a huge step for KKB. Because A) We've never been confused about Pragz before. Whether she has ML or not. Whether she's faking it or not. Like, this is the first time Pragz isn't really on the screen. Munni's taking over for the time being. THATS HUGEEE and I'm nervous for my #1 Show (ERR, I'M SORRY INDIA'S NUMBER ONE SHOW). But also highly exciteddd as to what they have planned. Also B) So far, the track is Abhi-centric. Like its being told from his POV. Where he's the one who has to figure out whether she's pragz and if she has had ML, needs to bring her back. This has also never happened. Abhi's usually the one that doesn't know whats going on around him. Not sure how long this is going to last but so far, lots of new changes in the story-telling format of the show.
But thank you Ekta Mama, who has otherwise recently been super neglecting of her #1 show in terms of TRPs, for casting Sriti in this show. We get to see so many avatars of her and she only manages to solidify the pankhas' hardcore crushes that they have on her. 😳
When I hear endless discussions on TRPs apparently falling and KKB will soon be over:
I dont get it y'all. Please explain. Either I believe in trps or I dont, nahi? Or is this basically based on convenience...like whenever the trps are favor of my argument, I'm going to believe in them or else they're rigged? Doesn't make sense to me. TRPs have definitely been affected by cricket fever (hellooo there was like an India-Pakistan match, even the Turkish president was watching it!), but otherwise, KKB has been in the top five, in the top three majority of the time, AND #1 for SO MANY WEEKS, TOPPLING OFF NAAGIN 2!!
Hum sab iss show ko pasand karte hain, nahi? So why do we WANT to see trps down and for the show to not do well? Just because the script isn't per our liking? Idk guysss, there are other fishes in the sea. You can watch other shows and you'll see how their tracks end in two weeks...and then in no time, they're done with ideas and we have inanimate objects speaking to the characters, major leaps where the leads are suddenly saas-susr, lots of additional characters who we no longer have patience to see, and then somewhere along the line, that show loses its essence.
KKB, yes its slow. But thats the way this show is written, if you haven't gotten it yet. Each track will be about how Abhigya get seperated and how they come back together fighting all the forces that are against them. And each track is written as a year long track. And they squeeze in many subplots into that ONE track. So is KKB repetitive, HECK YES. But thats DONE PURPOSELY.
Have you watched Friends? Remember, that ten-season show? And since season one, you were supposed to ship Rachel and Ross? And then for the next nine seasons, the whole premise of that track would be whether Ross and Rachel will be together? And they made a ten year show out of that!!
Its great that we're always so concerned about the trps and we're always analyzing every single minor michmichi detail about the show and how that affects trps...but maybe take a deep breath, sit back, relax, and enjoy and appreciate that the show you're so invested in, regardless of whether the current happenings are annoying you, is doing SO WELL!!
That was my free ka Sunday advice. Take it or leave it *shrugs* Praveen Bhai, thank you for the TRP updates every week 🤗
How I feel about Kundali Bhagya:
Fawad: KKB
KJ: Kundali Bhagya
Ranveer: ME
I wish it all the best because it will need it. I wouldn't have had a problem with Kundali Bhagya had it been its own seperate show. But its not.
Like a spin off with current characters branching off into their own show makes sense. For example, had Rabul still been present in the show and they wanted a show just for them, I would understand and completely support.
This is a show where we basically FORCED two more sisters and a baba arora return ONLY because so they can become their own show. They weren't part of it before. When KKB was launched, it was launched on its own roots. It wasn't leaning on any other show to convince viewers to watch them. Everyone on KKB worked hard to get recognized and whatever they have accomplished til now is solely because of themselves.
I get that Kundali Bhagya could be a totally seperate show, but even Ekta mentioned she made a spin off only to "get immediate eyeballs" on KDB. So a shortcut to success. And making Preeta's character very similar to Pragya's. And growing KDB roots off of KKB so that it hopefully grows. Why not just make a totally different show?
Anyways. I just think using KKB to make another show successful was unfair to KKB.
And I'm protective about the name "Bhagya."
And finally, for all those that need a guarantee that Pragz will be back:
And me and Bittu both love our bread pakorays.
I get it, I miss Pragzz tooo. *Hugs to all those in mini-depressions of where she has gone*
But she will be back, PAKKA PROMISE. Also, I don't believe in the double-role theory or how Pragz and Munni are different people.
I have no reason to believe Munni isn't Pragya. Reasons I'm confident:
1) The show is about Abhigya. No Pragz, no abhigya, no show? So they wouldn't do that.
2) Abhi keeps feeling Pragz's frangrance in the air and he's SO DARN SURE he's going to meet her on her bday. And we all can guess he's about to bump into Munni. I believe in Abhi's pyaar, they wouldn't show him being incorrect about being so sure he'll meet Pragz.
3) They changed the montage. Montage is always Abhigya. They wouldn't put Munni on there unless...Munni is pragz.
4) This whole "how could she learn a dialect and acrobats so quickly" is too weak of an argument for Ekta serials 😆 Kuch bhi ho sakta hai, don't give up hope because of how different Munni is from Pragz!!
5) Sriti said she was said shooting "Pragya's death scene," which kinda pareshaanified pankhas. But what else could she call that scene? Doesn't mean Pragz actually died. NO ONE HAS DIED ON KKB, HOW COULD PRAGZ???
There are more reasons, if you need more reasons, PM me and I would be happy to convince you Pragz will be back and Munni is Pragz 🤗
My theory: Munni was rescued and she lost ML, so now she's Munni. And somehow it will be revealed to the audiences that Munni is Pragz, even if Munni, Abhi nor anyone else know this. I dont think Pragz is faking to be Munni.
Anywaysss, keep calm and keep watching KKB 😳 They'll be back
THANK YOU FOR READING!! I always appreciate it very much so ❤️
Love,
