Sad and disappointed

That scene with neil coming in the house drunk and stumbling over riya, with lipstick marks on his shirt (zain's behind the scene pic I saw with him wearing the same blue shirt outside khanna house showed the lipstick stains) and how everybody was worried about him and never questioned him shows the double standards in treatment given to a son and the daughter-in-law of the house.

They all saw ali over avni with a lipstick stain on him so they assumed they were having an affair, humiliated avni and questioned her character and relationship with ali, then bebe even asks avni for proof of her innocence, yet when neil comes in drunk after having been out of the house in the night and with riya so close to him and with a lipstick stain on his shirt, nobody questioned him why he was with riya, why he had a lipstick stain on his shirt, never accused him of having done something with riya to have that stain on his shirt, never asked him what is his relationship with riya, or asked him to prove to them that nothing happened between him and riya.

He received concern from the family members instead of being hit with accusations and questions, yet none of them even noticed that avni was unconscious when they saw ali with her, just the lipstick stain on ali's shirt, yet they don't give a shit if their drunk son comes back in the night with another girl and lipstick stains on him. Why?

Because he is the SON of the house, whereas avni is just a daughter-in-law. The son is never accused or have to prove himself, but his wife only receives this treatment. They were all asking for evidence from avni, right? So avni could have pointed this out when they were accusing her, but clearly the female lead is a bechari who has to be saved and proven innocent in her in-laws eyes only by the male lead and son of the family. 😡

All the OLV s are confusing me, lets wait for the episodes

Its Neil who makes everyone go to the station to bring Avni

So something must happen in between

And everyone doing wrong with Avni, they should regret

I am hoping for some Avni angry with Neil scenes after she comes back home

Avni could've and should've pointed it out, and I wish she had, that would've been more of a nayi soch than Neil having to defend her honour. But in her defense, Avni's concern for Neil probably took precedence over comparing the two situations and realizing the hypocrisy. Knowing Avni, she probably genuinely blamed herself for Neil's state, and this, combined with Bebe and Shweta more or less attacking her upon sighting Neil, led to her deciding she's better off leaving the house.

I think Neil is going to point out the double standards, when he's sober enough to do that, that is. My issue primarily lies with how Neil dealt with this debacle, which was disappointing to say the least. It takes him until after his wife is insulted and more or less kicked out of the house to take active measures to make his family realize their folly.

I wouldn't mind Avni leaving for a bit tbh, there's no reason why she should have to live with people who are so quick to call her charactless, where her own husband would rather get drunk and make the situation more difficult for her rather than have an honest confrontation; she's had a difficult life so far and there's no reason why she should have to continue to try to prove herself time and again.

I myself being the inpatient one makes no sense saying this, yet i will - let's wait for the epi before getting upset.

The reason I say this is several thing combined. We are a unique fandom. It's like we are waiting for the other shoe to drop cause it's has been so good so far. It's has been always like this- When Neil was after ananya and his double standard, why Ali can't stay away from AvNeil, why avni is suddenly bahu-fied, why Neil don't have any case 😆 we have a steady rise of trp, we are reaching places. Drama is needed for story to move cause merely avneil cute scenes won't push be story ahead. And let's be practical, Amol/Kareena, bebe /Neil/ avni, neela giving advice on marriage these are filled scenes which don't actually build the solid base. They are additional scenes which comes after main story and enrich it. So next week (and the ma Kali one) were show's attempt at trp. Which they need so that we get these amazing characters.

What Sammy says is true, the hypocrisy of society when it comes to son/DIL. But I will disagree on a few parts.

- avni was adamant in her statement that she has no feelings for Ali . That was enough for that small nok jhok scene but not big enough to remove all traces of doubt. And honestly, Neil will always have that insecurity wrt Ali cause Ali and avni has a history and connection which has nothing to do with him. This mess, however chaotic will be remove it once for all. When Neil sees Ali and avni together he acts like a typical jealous man. (This is based on if he's actually being devdas cause he thinks it's true) + the ladies shouting and all. Avni keeps saying this staying in marriage is a ehsaan and Ali never shied away from his feelings. So can we actually blame him?

- trusting avni ^^^ continuing from this. Fine avni don't have feeling, what about Ali? Or what about he fact that she didn't have feelings before but now she's gradually developing? The scene itself was enough to turn heads. Neil is already on the edge and it drove him. He's always been an irrational man when it comes to her. Anyone Remember when amol did his accident and he spent the night in neela house? Next day DD came and said something about ananya and he lost it, destroyed her table. Then his entire arc about trying to arrest avni. When something don't go by his logic he lose it and start lashing. Even the recent one, he overheard one line from ali and basically told her to get out. So it's not surprising he's being a bewda devdas. Rhea is taking advance of a sad heartbroken man,that's a topic for another day.

- about avni not standing up for herself and Neil have to clear her name. You can blame it to Desi heroin problem or the fact that when fingers point at a woman's character no matter how much she yells it's all boil down to a man's word. Maybe cause we live under patriarchy. A man's word is last on any topic no matter how high pitch a woman yells. Avni was caught in a sudden situation and if we see from her pov,apart from the fact that it's circumstancial and she don't like Ali like that, she can't say anything else. I am completely innocent, this is all lies, bas yehi she can say. So someone outsider has to show that just cause she's a female doesn't mean it's about her modesty. It can happen to anyone regardless their gender.

Thoda zyada essay likh Diya 😆 I just hate how people are so sad and words like "character butcher" keeps flying everywhere. We need to have faith, and we need to stop waiting when the show will become bad. When it does everyone will see and move on.
