Abhi says pragya wanted a son but he saw this kiara and felt as though he won and pragya lost because he wanted a daughter...he says he justified driving pragya away because dadi was all he had and everyone says the reason is wrong...pragya comes to buy doll for kiara..rain is falling she buys an umbrella and both abhi and her are walking in the rain..the umbrella flies off her hand towards abhi..he picks it up..both remembering walking in rain...pragya put the doll next to angry bird princess..abhi cannot sleep picks up cookie doll and speaks to kiara..next morning pragya is back in her saris looking gorgeous..litlle miss princess does not want this doll but cookie..she calls mom to help her choise her clothes..rememberance starts again..kiara tells pragya to call mr chor to bring bach cookie.swarni daasi is back..precap..pragya calls abhis number ...feel tanu will answer..normal way with writers swarni daasi she will fix everything when she ask for abhis wife and tanu answered..i really don't follow this because the writers rarely let tanu be put in her place...

This branded 4 yrs old show with once such strong characters, hugely popular main leads and a theme of marriage, true love, destiny with family bonding's seems so outcast now...😔

Sry..nothing still looks relatable..while some people are still patiently watching for Shabir & Sriti's performances or to check how Mishal and kids roles are going to turn out or how Abhi & Pragya have a face-off, but the kind of dialogues and scenes crew seems to be confusingly weaving, I'm not sure how many new and old viewers can emotionally connect deeply to this track and understand its progression going forward with sustained interest when sanity of marriage got mocked unconvincingly by both the leads in their own respective ways... and when there is NO hope of their redemption nor their unity as married couple, any time soon where focus of crew is more on styling, new looks than on content, story and characters..

Now how much % of those current + old + new viewers who curiously watched Apr last week episodes due to those over hyped promos by Zee claiming 'naya andaz' of KKB but felt cheated, shocked, hurt, disgusted & lost emotional connect with abhigya as a couple, with both abhi & pragya's individual character traits and kumkumbhagya essence as a show; those who got utterly confused with outcomes of sudden death, forced separation and hurried time jump of 7 or 8 yrs might have even tuned Zeetv at 9pm excitedly to watch current May first week full episodes? 😕


Both based on total online views and BARC weekly ratings it seems there was a huge drop in last Thurs & Fri KKB episodes viewership, otherwise such high pitch drama, unexpected death, track closure and new track begining with hyped promos in KKB even during Jul 2017 when Abhi's memory returned, Pragya got shot, Abhigya separated and Munni made entry has fetched about 7300+ urban impressions..here in 2018 it hardly fetched 5832 despite such overhyped promotions..😛


Data indicates many backed off from watching KKB after last wed. And this entire week focus seems to be on kid, to make viewers empathetic that Abhi is lonely & suffering, that Pragya's life is attached to her kid and to give hope that Pragya landed in Delhi so Abhi might meet her via kid..😊 But how many old & current Abhigya, Abhi, Pragya, Dadi, Arora, Mehra and other Taaliya fans have still watched KKB with sustained interest this week and how many new King and Kiara fans got added to these numbers?


Based on regular Indian family audiences tastes does Kiara's overall styling, clothes, hair style, her matured dialogues as Abhi & Pragya's 6 or 7 yrs kid be able to draw big chunk of audiences towards KKB? 😕 Will Indian audiences accept Pragya kind of person running to commit suicide and not making attempts to bring out Abhi from Dadi's grief, later having a marriage kind of arrangement with another man in a different land with whom she spent 7 or 8 yrs, will they accept Pragya for hiding her existence and pregnancy from Khanna's/Arora's, giving her boss name to her kid rather than raising kid as a single independent working woman in 2025, and then hiding such big truth from the kid that her biological father is not with them?


Fate of this track and show also may depend on what content crew will throw down on audience throats in next two weeks episodes and kind of acceptance that they receive..

Good afternoon girls !!!!
Thanks Ann. Empty episode👎🏼

How many of you feel that they are using Shabir's phenomenal acting skills to soften us towards jerk Abhi? Really guys, we are supposed to be empathetic to this completely deluded, misplaced, irrational, unfair anger and we are supposed to understand his grief ?I am sorry Abhi there are tens of thousands of people in your position, but they don't routinely blame another important person in their life for their loss and throw them out by disparaging them, telling them they are dead and driving them to self harm. There is nothing here that is unique to your circumstance. The gall of the guy to say " woh apne raasthe chal gayi" as if he had nothing to do with it. More apt would be if you said " I drove her away to the brink of destruction" Can you just stop being full of yourself in justifying your unjustifiable actions and for once think about what could have happened to Pragya? So 7 years of separation didn't even make him think twice about what he had done to her. On top of it we had to see " why did she do this to me" ? Does this guy even know what he had done? Can we have his lines replayed for his ears only please, we have heard enough of that. Really Abhi, place your hand on your heart and ask yourself if she really did " kill" your daadi. So what happens tomorrow, God forbid she comes into your life again and some other mishap happens, she is will be out again. I would rather Pragya stay away and keep the child away from this unstable guy.

Why do I feel like he is not really pining away for Pragya but now fixated on children. I feel like he will go after the child , ruthlessly and will not think twice to put her in harms way with the 🤬 because somehow with all the first hand knowledge of how wretched the witch is, he is chummy with that one so much that he " married " her. Does he even know his daadi? If so, was it her wish for him to marry the loathsome woman? Anyway, useless questions from my part. Abhi is a jerk and is remaining as a jerk. No conscience, no remorse, no second thoughts, no concern to what might have happened to his so called loved one. One is dead and he killed the other one with flair.

I only ask the writers and makers, do you think this portrayal of a lead is fair? He is sadistic, vulgar, abusive, obscene, chauvinistic and to show that a husband can one sidedly throw away a wife from his life, tell her she is dead for him, erase the marriage without consent and re-marry😡. It is absolutely demeaning for all women to show that the woman is defenseless against this atrocity that was committed to her. And to show the wife pining away for the very guy who cares a damn about her is worse. What and why should she be thinking about him? Give her a back bone please.

I am so exhausted thinking about this guy anymore. They just glossed Abhi over with Shabir's acting. It is like he shot himself in his foot and is asking us to feel sorry for him, sorry dude, your foot, your gun and your actions. I don't find any depth to his angst, grief as it is all just superficial words with no reflection, no conscience, no action.

I hope they use King some more. I would rather see his interaction with Pragya and Kiara. Not over hyped or dramatic, normal friendly banter and a solid pillar of support. Useless Swarni daasi scenes, just used for comic relief. I don't think there is anything more to it.

Shallow, empty, cunning episode🤢. Abhi's character continues to fall👎🏼💔

One other question guys. If and when he finds out that he is so clouded by his ignorance and finds out who the true murderer is, is he going to forgive himself for letting the murderer in his life in the first place, keeping her in the house, marrying the very murderer after she murdered Daadi and blaming and driving away the one person who cared for nothing else but his happiness, and hating her for 7 years, destroying her life and that of his child's, forcing them to find shelter with another man? Will he find it in himself then to forgive himself? And how? If the ignorance can keep him bitter for years, what does truth do to him? Did the writers think about it at all? May be he will never know like he didn't in the last 11 years🤢

One thing I noticed is that Pragya's life is more relaxed with King. She even gets to sleep in a proper nightwear😆...compared when she was with Abhi, she always sleeps while wearing a heavy embroided sarees😆...yeah to be ready in any life saving mission even during the night...hahahaha. I am being ridiculous here...hahaha...

Thanks ann. And yes, mili, it has been a redemption of Abhi's character through Shabir's acting. No matter what the writers try to do, the damage has been done, Abhigya and Abhi have been destroyed. Abhi keeps on thinking of Pragya everywhere now, but does he first worry whether she is alive or not. And after knowing all the mistakes, if he can allow Taalya to live with him, then why not PRagya. And if he says, he has only Dadi in his life, then who is PRagya?
And when he told Purab that he wanted only a signature from Tanu and he had done so much for her, all my hatred towards Abhi which had gone relapse came surging back again. Those words were the cruelest so far. When he is not worried about Pragya's well being, he has time to spend and buy things for Tanu. I do not want him back in Pragya's life at all. Let him learn all his lessons one by one, but whatever he does cannot bring back the seven years.

Been saying this from the begining.. both main leads are losing that deep emotional connect with audiences and acceptability factors towards their characters usage, so its not confined only to Abhi..I mentioned same in my above posts as well.


Dadi used to repeatedly proclaim in making Ram, Sita & Lakshman references with Abhi, Pragya and Purab. This post leap with kids track separating main leads in Balalji soaps is hugely Ramayan Luv Kush adhyaya inspired.


So Shurphankha becomes Rams wife to whom he gives all rights of his Sita single handedly despite knowing very well she is a demon and needs to be punished and terms Sita killer and keeps hating her? And Sita in some far land takes one sided decision gives another mans name to her kid instead of raising kid in dignified manner as a single independent mother, as add on goes about hiding truth from kid that father is not with them?😒 Sry both are unconvincing and may not be easily acceptable to Indian audiences..

Pragya s part is acceptable to me as a TRP viewer because it's a normal trend in EK shows. Abhi s is not because it is Tanu and that is height of foolishness.
