Anu completely agree with you. Nice enough filler episode.

Aye, aye and aye to all of the above 'things Nur liked'. Special shout out to attaboy 😆 - that was phenomenal. I was all go anant inside of my head while sneakily watching the episode in a lecture (again!). Can I say the actor portrayin CSB is SO awesome! Like he creeps me out even when I mute the volume to pretend momentary attention in class if only my eyes are glued to the changes of his expression - and Anant took the bull right by his horns! When he said aap bura to nahin maanege I was like 'yes! go on, answer that now, you wannabe chatti generation of Harish Chandra whatever!' 😆

Basically - I'm in love with CSB getting a dose of his own medicine, the nice polite ways of bombarding another's peace!

And all that past, my favorite sections were Mohan-Anant and Ranbir-Anant conversations. To repeat myself for the nth time over various posts on the forum since Monday episode, I'm so glad the side characters who should matter are beginning to find space. Keep it up CVs!

'Nuf said (: Great post as always Nur!

Wat I really liked also was that despite noticing the tears of Anant n somewat getting the jist that Anant is in pain...Mohan is not imposing himself on Anant by digging out his problem...he is rather standing right beside him...letting him know that his shoulder is always ready for him to cry whenever he feels comfortable...absolutely comforting 😳 Totally agree, Shilpa...that is what is so awesome about Mohan's character as well...he is a constant rock of support for Anant and doesn't pressurize him for anything...he just simply lets him know that he's there for Anant anytime he needs him...I love the way this bond is shown in the show...Anant may try to hide his hurt but Mohan is perceptive enough to see whenever Anant's upset or something is weighing on his mind...what an awesome brother.



Ok btw the way...leaving aside the emotions on this scene...but why do I feel that these pictures are wat will one day bring the needed storm in adam's house...only to clear ways for AN😳 You're probably right...the same way Nimmi saw thim accidentally one day, someone else from the family...likely Peroblem Bhabhi will catch hold of the pics while snooping around in Anant's room one day and then there will be the ultimate dhamaka in the house.😆

Chalo, sabse pehlein, yes to everything & a hearty nod.😆Emotionally, like you said, not as awesome, but I still liked it very very much. It didn't feel filler-ish and I used to think that only the Monday, Friday episodes were worth watching but I've realised that the the so-called fillers contribute to the big picture of all of this like many have pointed out recently. Yeah it didn't feel filler-ish much to me either even though yesterday's was ofcourse more awesome...but there were many nice moments in this one too despite nothing major really moving forward...but the Anant-Mohan and Anant-Ranbir scenes were the highlight for me...everything does contribute to the bigger picture like you said...these convos also needed to be shown.

Soumya's acting in the last bit *sigh* Patchy again...😕...not convincing with the crying...is she all cried out after yesterday's awesome epi?😆

Yeah! And I think she has resorted to covering her mouth incase it's left open for too long. LMAOOO🤣 Could be...but even then she was moving her eyes around pretty oddly above those hands clapped over her mouth😕😆...she did NOT look like she was crying...quite unconvincing...Soumya did disappoint there sadly😕

I'm probably going to start an uproar with this, but I liked the Brothers vs Sisters scene. >_> It kept me torn between dismay and hilarity, yes, but I enjoyed it anyhow. The way Anant and Mohan were quiet, almost submissively quiescent(!) while being served was quite symbolic of the fact that if Anant in actuality DID marry Shagun, would have to lead exactly the SAME loveless, pressured life Mohan is living. & LOL at both of them immediately putting down their teacups the moment the sisters leave. They both looked so caged! I genuinely feel that this scene was well-thought out & meaningful given the scenario of a marriage between Anant & Sa-gun. Not that we didn't already know this, but he's clearly going to feel suffocated.

& of course, the brotherly love after that was awesome. 😆 LOL no uproar from me yaar...I get what you mean...yes there was symbolism in the scene and the detailing was such down to the little significant gestures...whether they came about from Rama's manipulations only but you got to see a lot...Rama's not so subtle attempts to project Sagun as Anant's future wife who would gholo "sugar" into his life😆...poor Anant and Mohan looking SO trapped😆...exchanging glances that communicated how uncomfortable they felt with the creep-o sisters...I also loved how they immediately put down the teacups the moment those two left😆...not a sip of that cloyingly made tea🤢😆...but yes in general Rama's nonsense was getting on my last nerve along with bimbo Sagun standing there smiling vapidly🥱

But did anyone else feel as gagged while watching Rama explain her (not) so sweet theory?🤢 I totally did...that was pathetic🤢😆

& one more complaint. What the hell is up with the rattly background music whenever the creepy sisters are shown alone?! I HATE IT! & it's not even original.😛 They ripped it off from K serial vamp moments. *rolls eyes* LOL but that is what this side of the story is like...we've had to deal with it from day one...Anant's family has totally walked out of some nightmarish K-soap ka set only...aur kya dikhaayenge unpe fir...we have to jhelo😆

I felt exactly the same way. Kya kya hogaya uske baad! Also, loved his concern and his discrete way of finding out how she is. Navya has finally knocked some sense into him after her emotional outburst at her house!😆 LOL I think the discretion was probably cuz of the way she last told him to leave her alone and go away...but he can't stop feeling concerned for her so he HAS to find out somehow if she's ok😆

&

attaboy😆!

Again, a significant moment. It was high-time that Anant questioned CSB about Something, now that the foundation of his faith has been greatly shaken. Whatever he's going to inquire about tonight, the basic points he brought up here were perfectly valid. Even if has an ulterior motive of trying to bring Navya into his life breaking many rules of the house, I think he truly feels confused about his beliefs, what he has been taught by them & rightly so. This show is supposed to be about youngsters trying to find middle ground, after all. Totally agree yaar...so while Anant does have a strong motive cuz of Navya to raise these questions, he genuinely is confused otherwise as well about these rules that don't really seem to make sense...so they are trying to give a general message through the show as well too that bringing in a modern thinking doesn't necessarily mean you have forgotten your sanskaar, your traditional values...Anant's family is rigid to the extreme and refuses to entertain any viewpoint other than THEIR viewpoint of the world...but Anant is looking beyond that...and Navya has been a major catalyst for him...he's started to feel more suffocated by these senseless restrictions and not letting him make any decision about his life.

oh it was perfect anu😊...as coherent as it could get...Thanks, Madhu😆


what i liked about this episode was, it had a very positive outlook...reason being, the creatives focused on people whom A/N could count upon...calm and soothing words of support...this should deffo get anant and navya going... Very nicely said yaar...so true...this epi was about the ppl that AN can count upon to be their support through this difficult time for them...to be there for them, to share their sorrows with...


if only he could have heard what she said...so near yet, so far...it did look a bit dramatic...but never mind...this is not a reality show...u do need some drama 2 keep it running...good that he left though...if he had stayed longer than that, he would have looked like a jerk...soumya was ok-ok yesterday, much better in the second half of the epi... Yes she was ok-ok only😆...but the first scene mein she did make me cringe a bit...anyways...there was no point to Anant hearing what she said...it wasn't meant to be heard by him at that point...it was only for the audience's benefit to show them that Navya experiences that sense of loss and helplessness too


.how on the earth, did these two extremely sane creatures, land up in this house full of creepsters? makes me wonder...are anant n mohan adopted kids??...LMAO I wonder about the same many times...they don't look like they belong to this creepster family from any angle😕😆

anyway, back 2 mohan's words...truly, experience speaks, doesn't it...every frame of this scene was bang on...the finer details especially...for instance mohan shuts the laptop when he realizes anant is clearly not in the mood to discuss business...and the little glances exchanged b/w the brothers when the banaraswaliyon were offering tea...and finally the advice from mohan...well it was more than advice...a mix of love, concern, consolation, support and even warning...one trait of mohan that i admire is that, he always urges anant to take an independent stand on issues...and what he said, scares me as well...if anant gives in to baba's whims n fancies,he just can't back off..Very well said once again yaar...like you said it was the finer details that made this scene so good...the glances b/w the brothers, Mohan's perceptiveness and the way he talks to Anant so maturely about all these issues...his advice was just right...Anant needs someone to guide him through this maze of the Addams family politics too...Mohan is the right support having had his own life ruined by the pressures and rules of the family.

all this bro bonding makes me wish, renuka does the same for navya...not that she isn't being a supportive sister...its just that i would love 2 see her express things, the way mohan does it... Yeah but I guess Renuka has her own major problems coming up soon too...so for Navya, it is Appy-Ritz who fill that void more in a sense...Renuka is a different character with her own issues...although somehow I do want to see Navya's family meeting Anant someday too...kahin independently hi sahi...I think it could be a sweet scene.

3) Anant looking at the AN pics on his laptop...wow that project feels like it was so long ago...is it just me?😆 no...its not just you...i feel the same as well...can't forget it, can we...the beginnings...they've come so far...anyways...getting back to the scene...poor Anant...ah, saat bitaye hue lamhon ko yaad karke has raha tha...idiotLOLL what irony...bechara idiot😆


...and the way he picks up the phone to call Ranbir to call Ritz to see if Navya's ok? awww😆...for a split second, i thought he was gonna call navya...LOL I also thought that...but I guess that is why they build the suspense...to show him looking at the pics and then calling someone...you'd think Navya only but then he turns to his only other source of support...aww


ranbir is growing on me...day by day.. he has this reassuring smile on his face and exudes so much of optimism...love him just for that...unlike harry, ranbir is tactful...he knows what to talk and when to talk...and thats what sets him apart...glad to know that the "challenge" has not been forgotten...just about time they mentioned it...and what a contrast...at the time of the challenge, we saw an anant, pretty confident about staying away from the clutches of love...but look at him now, all teary-eyed... Harry toh is a joker yaar...kahaan Ranbir aur kahaan Harry...no comparison😆...Ranbir is a fab character with so many nice traits...his positivity, his maturity...the tactful way in which he handles situations...awesome guy...yeah Anant has come a long way from the challenge...he was so confident and relaxed about these fundas back then...and ab bechara is so overwhelmed with emotions...yeh love shove ka chakkar bhi insaan ko kahaan le aata hai😆



good acting by soumya here...spontaneous reaction...and her eyes were full of expectations.

Yeah this was the one bit I did like her acting in this epi too.


.i guess navya could do with some girl talks...it would ease the pressure of her shoulders...will appy and ritz encourage her, you know, to go ahead with this relationship or will they ask her to cut it off??...i really wanna know what they think about this couple...and did u notice, neither ranbir nor appy-ritz opened their mouth about A/N...not until A got started with the challenge and N told appy-ritz about what had happened that morning...goes on to show how much these three respect A/N's feelings and privacy...Yeah I really want to know Ritz-Appy's thoughts on this and what advice they'll give to Navya too...but yeah it is nice that they have at this point respected AN's privacy and their feelings for each other...and just lent silent support and been there for them to vent...they haven't intruded or imposed their own thoughts on them.

ermmm...i dunno...but i have this bad feeling that someone will intervene before anant gets to ask his question...if he does manage 2 fire away, well and good...but if he does not, that will be quite a setback...oh, i just hope he runs through mohan's words again n again...sochke, samajke decision-taking...one step at a time does the trick... Oh damn...that would be quite anti-climactic if he doesn't even manage to ask the question😆...yeah I really hope he doesn't get interrupted...but either ways, itna toh dikh hi raha hai that Anant won't be able to back out of the engagement yet seeing the new promo about Sagun and that aashirwaad or whatnot😕

Oh God, Anu, Have you seen the latest promo? As much as I hate to say this, looks like Madhu was right about someone coming along and intervening.

Or WORST.

If Anant is to put up a pretense and smile as if it's okay to let Shagun participate in all activities alongside him (as his to-be-wife, no less), this means that whatever Anant was trying to talk to him about went unheard. Or, Anant agreed to the marriage, since he knows that he came to CSB's room to not only ask something but give an answer as well.

Guess it would be out of character for CSB to not be frigid and stubborn. Kya, yaar...

Recently I was watching some older episodes of Navya on YT and it made me realise how much I miss the computer project / picnic type sweet moments. When will we see A&N smile again? =/ *sigh*
