Kumkum Bhagya New Season | Episode Discussions Thread #7 - Page 132

Smita should've been there for last week's episodes. How will they conclude without her? Smita's backstory and Shivansh-Smita's reconciliation was a must for anyone who started watching the show for Shivansh and Prashiv.

Yeah but the issue is it shouldn't have been Prarthana but his mother Smita herself talking to Shivansh. The guy came for badla against the mother who abandoning him and with show ending there's not mother in sight but that vile and selfish BM

Smita should've revealed her backstory and the reason she left Shivansh. How can they negate such an important aspect of the story?

Asmita, Butterfly & Tinted

Everyone is missing and hoping all is well with your. This is the last week with for new episodes.

Today episode was nice with Shivanash vulnerability, of that long for mother love and abandonment issue at the same time. Him begging BM to stop talking about his mother. I like it today and BM is a insensitive, selfish aurat

I still can't believe anyway I expected it . But why isn't smita even shown for one episode to reconcile with her son . They just ruined so much potential

I saw the BTS was very surprised, that they where there. They have really destroyed PraShiv magic. I rarely watch Indian ITV shows, they are too long and the same old toxic treatment for the FL. The ML is a bystander at most.

I can't stand it, even the Naagin S7 doesn't excites me. Hoping that Namik isn't a part of this.

Missing Maya from Behyadh, strong independent FL shows is very rare.

Can anyone recommend me alternative Indian Web/shows, i have already saw Gunaah when i was watching this i could imagine Namik in it.

Take care and be safe

I don't watch Indian web shows so can't recommend any to you . Sorry 😓 I only watch k dramas and c dramas and Hollywood so but are Indian web shows interesting . I haven't even given a thought to it before 🤔

I have not seen the last three episodes properly..I just watched few clips here and there....and I have to say one thing.I will watch today

I have tried my best to not let this show weigh so heavily on me, but today I’ll admit it—I’m deeply disappointed with how they’re ending this story. What aches the most is Shivansh’s arc with his mother. His entire life, his wounds, his fears, even his very bond with Prarthana, were born out of that one primal abandonment. PraShiv was formed because of Smita and Raunak—the cracks left by his mother’s absence and the shadow of his broken childhood. And yet… we are being robbed of the one thing that could have completed his story: a heart-to-heart conversation, a reunion, some fragile but healing closure.

The thought that Shivansh will never get to look into his mother’s eyes and release all the pain he has carried since he was five years old—it genuinely breaks my heart. Closure was never about a perfect apology; it was about the boy within him finally being heard. To abandon that thread feels like abandoning the very soul of his character.

And then there’s PraShiv themselves.The love I feel for these two is immense...I adore Namik and Pranali, and their chemistry is one of those rare, magical things that breathes life into even the weakest of scripts. But I cannot deny what’s been staring at us lately: PraShiv’s essence has been diluted. Instead of depth, we are being served recycled conflicts and recycled scenes. Pointless misunderstandings, Prarthana running after one “plan,” Shivansh delivering those passionate lines that stab us in the heart, but without the story giving him any new dimension. He cries, she hides, and the cycle repeats.

Where are their new memories? Their quiet conversations that pierce deeper than any storm? Where is the intimacy of two souls who have carried each other through fire and deserve tenderness at last? Instead of gifting us these jewels, they are recycling old scenes—like the story is no longer being written for the characters, but only for parallel edits and fan montages. It feels hollow, like a beautiful painting being photocopied until the colors fade.

I love PraShiv. I love them because Prarthana and Shivansh had the potential to be one of the most hauntingly beautiful love stories on screen. And Namik and Pranali gave everything to these roles—their chemistry alone can light up an empty room. But when the writing refuses to honor that depth, when it keeps circling back to clichés instead of moving forward, you cannot help but feel something is missing.

And that’s what hurts the most: that we’re saying goodbye not to what PraShiv could have been, but to a diluted shadow of it. 💔

Oh I am so happy you are better now , if you need enough rest then please rest , your health is much more better than any live update . Be safe dear

Heyy!! Thank you for thinking about us! It feels very warm! For not coming online.. My feelings are same as that of Asmita.
I am not able to stomach that such a beautiful ship is ending badly. I have no issues with the happy ending or ending of the show but the problem is with the way it is ending. They made such beautiful, layered characters Shivansh and Prarthana, Namik and Pranali breathed life into them and their chemistry was organic, soulful and just beautiful.

Despite having ample time, we are not getting the closure that PraShiv deserve, Smita deserves and we as a fandom deserve.

What is the point of a happy ending when the major pillar of the story remains unacknowledged?
I just couldn’t form words and describe how bad I was feeling. Though I am watching the episodes, they weren’t hitting as they used to due to the sadness of a wasted potential and ruined story. Isiliye I just took time off to cool down.
Now that we’ve entered the last week, lets all just forget the way the story will end and only enjoy PraShiv for one last time. Though I really hope we get to see PraMik together soon in a similar but well written show..

Good to know you are not sick and just needed sometime to yourself 😊

Asmita, wishing you a speedy recovery. As someone who has been on and off sick with fever, cough and cold for the past two months (annoying infection that simply won't let go), I know how tiring it can get. Sending lots of positivity your way

As for the story, you effectively penned down what has been bothering me. PraShiv scenes are there only for us to make edits, there's no substance. And Prarthana’s new way of handling everything with a light note only dilutes the essence of their relationship.

I was so annoyed with the scene where she made him open the door, it was unnecessary. I hate it that she will be the one to convince Shivansh of his mother's love and not Smita herself. I hate how easily they whitewashed Smita and pinned the blame on BM, and how, despite Smita not being present for weeks and BM being there until the last possible moment, they are still going with the "BM was 90% responsible for Smita leaving". You mean to tell me Shivansh doesn't confront her? He doesn't break down? He doesn't erupt like a volcano and shove her away? That he is happily remarrying Prarthana while reeling from this shocking revelation? Or are they going to skip their BM is evil routine and make it all about Sonalika, since BM-Tanya have already discussed Sonalika blackmailing them.

Either way, I'm disappointed, disillusioned, and disinterested in whatever is going on and it's so painful, because I love PraShiv. I love this show, the story it might have been. It's sad to feel this burst of negativity for a show I love with all my heart and a show I'll watch till it's death.

I think I have done enough negativity for now 😅 Sending lots of positivity to everyone, let's have a brilliant week ❤️🤗
