@Preet and Zoya 😆😆😆,

Two to three spoons and the man is all about "Baas"!!! I just want to make sure, I don't want surprises.

@Preet, I don't watch amazing race, but my all time favorite movie is Beauty and the Beast!! You just scared me by posting that right now. Back home my mom gifted me with the Beauty and the Beast's book when I was very young and I was in love with it. When we came to states that was the first movie that I watched with my cousins at their home. Also, you have a liking towards GH, and guess what? I was a big fan of Brenda and Jax (never cared for Sunny) used to watch the show religiously, but after they killed her off the first time, I stopped. Elizabeth was one of my favorite characters.

See what do I tell you; Long Lost Twin

[quote=Preet] Not SD here, but I think that was the only time that she did address him simply as Rishabh and it melted my heart because she added an "our" before it..

I also want her to call him Rishabh or Rishu (to irritate him lol) from time to time, but I'm hoping that'll come with time, after she's willing to admit her feelings about him, until them I'm enjoying it when she calls him unko (like he's her apne - does that make sense? but you know what I'm talking about right?). I will say that I love how they've never been the type to call each other Madhuji and RKji even if they had met under different conditions. Do husbands and wives really address each other with ji?[/quote]

@Bold, Preet can you even imagine RK's face if she calls him Rishu??? I would pay anything to see that. The rest of your post made me laugh out loud so hard that my Dad who is sitting across from me in our living room raised his eyebrows and asked "Are you Ok there". I have about 2 Indian best friends who are married and never heard them call their husband ji, even their parents or grandparents have not done it or at least I was never witness to it. Maybe it is a trend in India???? Also (again if I'm wrong please correct me) does she address him in formal manner while they are in the company of others? I have noticed that several time, but can remember all the episodes. For example, when she was feeding him the first time and Bittuji interrupted them she said something like: Aap ka breakfast!! I guess that shows her respect towards her husband.

Pritt has just made this VM, it is so funny please watch it. Titled "Bittuji Interruption Special VM"

@Preet, Yes without and doubt you are my long lost twin. Brenda and Jax's love story was so extraordinary. I used to like Jason before his accident and then afterwards he became Sunny's puppet that was harsh to watch. Yes, I loved Elizabeth and Lucky, the whole rape storyline was just outstandingly done.

I am going off topic now... Stupid me just realised that in y'day epi RK used the back of his hand to caress Madhu's cheek coz his palm was bandaged... How dumb of me!!!!

@Preet, I have heard about that show from my sister. She told me that it premiered this fall, I have not been able to catch it yet. Although, I do like the lead actress Kristin Kreuk, she was my favorite in Smallville. Do you watch it, if so does it worth the time?

[quote=SD] Adding a ji ...is choice. People of my age, generation wouldn't mind that as its beauty of language and addressing which appeals to us. While speaking in Hindi, I like speaking with "Aap" most of the time and on "Tum" basis only with close ones.

She talks to him on Tum basis when with him and talking to him. But she goes back to Aap, unka, woh when she is talking about him with others. She started doing it since her marriage. So its more of her manners for addressing her husband with others. She still calls him RK even with others, but on formal basis. So she is shown to have a mix of modern+traditional mind.[/quote]

@Bold, Shri in Dari we have the same concept when we address people. Some languages lack the use and distinction between formal and informal. Hindi has word ji and in my language we use the word "jaan". I always address my parents in formal manner and my sister who is younger in informal manner, and this concept is so foreign for my friends who speak Arabic. Modern day Arabic lacks this concept.

@Madhu addressing RK: So I was not wrong, I observed the change between formal and informal language use correctly. I have to thank the Bollywood movies and the entire industry for helping me learn this language.

Hasn't RK already had his dinner and medicines? So why did Madhu feed him again?

• The real madhu is the one who continued fighting for Mukund despite her sister's career being at stake, slapped RK when he hurt her father, married RK to save her father, always on a moral high ground.
• The real Madhu is the one who stood her ground that party night, refused to leave the party, in the face of RK's challenge, or the Madhu who refused to believe that RK would die, the Madhu who refused Dipali's offer. ...
• The real Madhu is the one that RK has seen...through all the above he has come to know her, and yesterday she was uncharacteristically rattled. The real madhu would have protested violently, fought with him when RK withdrew the case...she did'nt and then he understood. But he also knows she will not let the matter rest. It will destroy her but she will find out the truth.
  

I don't know if I'm imagining this because I am so impatient for the love story to move...Rishbala moments are used as fillers between main tracks...yes, the relationship always progresses with each moment, but yet, there is this feeling, the actual execution of the scenes feel like that. Does anybody agree?
