I liked your answers especially about studies. I too beleive that every one especially a women needs to study and be financially independent in life if they can before settling down. It gives a sense of security but that is only my POV.
What 6 languages do you know? Pray tell. Tamil, english, hindi, bengali, french and spanish.
Enjoyed all your answers. Looking forward to the rest - thanks Isha🤗

@All those who r giving me credit for the costume...it was all Nisha's idea...i just googled for a purple costume...so Nisha...u can bow for any accolades coming my way!
absolutely loved the questions & answers to them!! The questions were not easy at all...at least i thought so...but then...😈...it wont stop me from firing some of my own!! Isshhh...just when I got my hopes up...😛
1. Anant is gonna be a supportive husband, we all know...but he has seen marriages in a different light so far...Forget the CVs, from a realistic pt of view, do u reckon it is going to play a role in how he deals with his own marriage?Any Bajpayee trait gonna surface in his life??(Think & elaborate on yur answer pls)
Among the role models he has seen, his papa is controlling to the extreme, his chacha seems to have no respect (remember he was among the last to know of Nimi's proposal) and Mohan is clearly unhappy but not doing anything about it. Anant is aware of this. He told Renu that in his family, no one has even looked at their spouse with love and affection. So he definitely has the intention to be different and in the initial days it will be the case, question is, what happens a few months/years down the line? His immaturity and impatience, combined with Navya's shy and reticent nature could mean that he ends up hurting her knowingly/unknowingly.
Also, his dependence on his father for his income could mean he does not have the freedom to give her the life he wants to give her - he will have to explain every single action/decision to the trio and he might end up feeling guilty about it and this could strain the relationship too.
The Bajpai trait I am most worried about is Mohan's - keeping silent when it's the time to speak up - and we have seen Anant being guilty of this charge already during the Shagun fiasco. This trait will definitely re-surface in my opinion, and with consequences for Anya.
2. Do u recon BD & Rama are going to finally team up to create havoc in Navya's life?
I don't think they will team up - that will not be acceptable to bua-dadi - we will of course see Rama imparting any piece of information/news that will show Anya, particularly Navya in bad light. Rama will never have it in her to see Anya happy.
3. How do u see Mohan/Renu's track progressing from here on...(they dont need to be an item, but upto u...!!)
Honestly, I've given up on any sensible side-tracks in this show.
If it was up to me, I would've made Renu more bold - not the rona-dhona Renu we saw, who crumbled when there was trouble, waiting for Navya to solve her problems for her (God knows how Navya can manage that, but serial heroines have more power than us mortals). She needs to have a chat with Gautam and take a call on her marriage. Yes, a child is also involved, but her choice is between putting up with Gautam for the sake of the child and live through a farce of a marriage (at least until her baby is grown up, may be?) or fo through separation and possibly bring up her child alone. Given that Gautam is shown to be a philanderer, the second option is my preferred choice. If an educated city-bred girl (with more exposure) can't take this decision, then who can?
Mohan-Rama: again, not much hope here. Rama will continue mixing karela juice in bua-dadi's kheer and blame it on Navya until the day the serial ends. Mohan keeps yo-yo-ing between trusting her and losing that trust. He has to make up his mind one way or the other. Given his character sketch so far, I don't see him take any action - he is a status-quo man. Ten years down the line, we will see him living the same life, just with a couple of kids added to the equation.
4. Who is going to be the biggest threat to AnYa? Or do u want a new entry for that??
The biggest threat to Anya will come from them only, in my opinion. No bua-dadi, Rama, Udi, angry papa can do anything if (a) Anant was more independent (financially) and mature (emotionally) and (b) Navya was more outspoken instead of gulping all the injustice done to her down her throat. What do you think?
5. As a parent, what would u do if yur child was hell bent to marry into a family which u didnt approve?
I'd like to go all goody goody and say I will leave it up to her etc. I won't deny that I won't be hurt. However, I promise to be more open about my definition of what "family I don't approve" means - it won't be based on race, colour or religion. But if she is hell bent on marrying a criminal/physical abuser, etc. etc. then I'd definitely try to reason it with her. At the end of the day, the truth of the matter is, I can't make her do what I want - I can only give her food for thought and pray that she makes a sensible choice.
6. Navya's Dadi gets her old witty n whacky self back...now pls write abt a possible exchange between her & BD!
Somehow I don't think we'll ever get to see that side of dadi anymore 😔 - one of the casualties of this trp race game? We saw dadi standing up for the two girls in Kanpur (one of the sanest + most dignified persons on that day!).
Seriousness aside, the problem with buadadi is she is so caustic without any reason...I can't see any amount of wit/sarcasm will make her any better...no, Shagun is the best person to deal with Bd...😆
& some personal ones...
7. Last book which u read...
Cadfael omnibus - the last one. I love reading mystery novels. Cadfael is a Welsh monk living in 12th century England who ends up solving crimes in his own quiet way. The stories are interspersed with historical anecdotes of that era and make very interesting reading.
8. Something abt u which v few out here know... that I am an only child...
9. what attracts you to a person...
a. physical features...eyes - aren't they the windows to the soul?
b. character traits..sense of humour
10. What pisses you off the most??
a. Generally - ill-treatment of children - anything from taking out anger on them, child labour...
b. In a person - rudeness...
11. You got a sweet tooth or do u dig savouries more?? savouries 😳
12. Places u'd like to visit...(pls include Australia/syd in the list!!!😆) - as I mentioned earlier, I haven't seen North America, Australia/NZ and SE Asia - don't worry there's a few of us (Urmi, Tanu, me) planning this trip and we will crash-land at your place definitely 😆...
13. If u had to make yur own bucket list, what would be the top 5 items?
1. Learn to be more disciplined - my life would be a lot simpler then!
2. Learn braille and work with transcribing books for the blind.
3. Learn to bake - I can't bake for the life of me 😔...
4. Go on a holiday with a friend - just her and me, doing all girly stuff ... we've been planning it for such a long time, but never managed it yet...
5. See the northern lights (aurora borealis) once...I sometimes think I must be raving mad to be going to Alaska or Norway in the dead winter, but...
14. Last movie you saw in a theatre - Inception...
15. Share a cute incident featuring Suhasini (yur bubby)..(sorry ...but i lowwe kids & their tales!!)
Hahaha...you know that if you ask any mum about her baby and you won't see an end to their stories na? OK, here's just one (for the sanity of everyone reading 😆) - my mum has taught my daughter how to point to her eyes, nose, mouth and ears. So the moment you say "where are your eyes?", she'll first look at her hand, get out her index finger ready to point and think for a minute (you can actually see her thought process!) and will slowly point to her eyes, etc. The whole sequence is really sweet to watch (well at least for me!)...
thats it frm me...hope u dont feel like killing me for asking so many qs...but luv u loads...& wudnt miss a chance to know u betta!!🤗

Pooja - you are really a sweetheart...hope to get to know you more and stay in touch even beyond this show...🤗

Here comes my questions..

-"Navya" which means "New" is certainly not an apt title for the serial...give a new title for this serial.😆 OK...how about "pracheen"? Or may be OWINB (Old Wine in New Bottle)?

-As we all know that there is a mixed reaction for the current story line...some feel that marriage is too early for 19 year olds,while others feel that marriage is an integral part of any Hindi serial.Suggest a good track (in your style) which can interest us(Us means we the people of Tanu's joint 😆)...yet gather TRP's 😉

If I had my way, these two would still be in the "falling in love" phase...😆...I would've spent a lot more time showing their college days - studying, going out as a gang, college festivals, etc etc. In my opinion, the way Anant was, he fell in love really quickly - I would've shown him take more time...Anya mutually helping one another with studies, talking about families, etc - show a strong friendship that eventually turns into love...marriage would've been really far away...I feel there's plenty to show (lots of open tracks to concentrate on) without getting Anya married...
OK, given that we are here, I would prefer a long engagement and give Anya time to finish studies, get jobs, see if they can still see a future together...my argument is, when there is an external threat to their love (eg either set of parents separating them), it's all very easy to feel strongly for one another - what happens when that threat goes away - do they still feel as strong?
I'd like to see Anya working, financially independent before getting married - that way, Anant has a better standing in his loony quila - the current track as it stands is weak on that count - here he is still surviving on pocket money!
Some of the tracks they've shown (eg Kanpur track) are really ugly/difficult to watch - I would maintain a more light-hearted feel to the show - halka-sa romantic story, instead of bhari-bharkam rona-dhona tracks full of mud-slinging/shouting and what not...
And given the audience (our adda folks), I would've kept the track sensible as well, so no Shagun, no OTT Rama, no wall-paper DAs, chacha's story would've been out by now, Udi would've been more of a nice grandpa, etc etc - they can still be strict/traditional but not this OTT madness (no aspirin? please...)

-I really miss Shagun these days ...CV's have conveniently removed her from the show though I would have loved to see her reaction...now you give me that part...How will Shagun react to everything..?
If I had my way, I will leave our day-dreaming Shagun in her dreamy state only...she seems really happy there, na? Why bring her back to earth? 😊 The way the Kanpur track came out, Rama was a mute spectator - what a waste! I was expecting her to be the sutradaar, bringing out the Anya story in the Bajpai household...hmmm...as a result Shagun bid tata-bye bye so quietly...what grave injustice!😆

OKie...here goes my rake (before ande/tamatars come my way)...

Rama calls Shagun in Benares, trying to break the news as gently as possible...Shagun goes all hyper, blames Rama for not keeping her promise, rants at her for not thinking about her welfare, for teaming up with that Mumbai ki chudail etc etc. She finally threatens to go on bhook hartal a la Anna H and slams down the phone.
Rama's sisterly feelings which had gone to sleep from the night of that dinner party, are awakened...she does what she always does - makes Mohan's life miserable by ranting day and night and finally gives up on him but manages to maska-lagao-fy bua-dadi (all it takes is kheer and some leg pressing) and undo the damage done by the honey and ants...bua-dadi, who has decided that devil is better than devi, calls for a high command meeting...bhaisaab gulps/stares/gulps, angry papa sulks even more but finally the decision is reached - give Shagun another chance! The trio decide to go to Benares to fix the rishta...our mandbuddhi shows some buddhi, calls Shagun and for once, explains how he loves Navya and any marriage to Shagun would mean they (Anant-Shagun) end up like Mohan-Rama... Shagun has a change of heart and refuses the rishta when the trio come over and bids a more dignified adieu ... not before coating the trio's car seats with honey...😉


-Which part of India do you originally belong to?(I think no one has asked this) - Your part - Chennai...😃...but with roots in Delhi...

-Give an image as well as character makeover to Anant...make a Nil Buddhi person to Full buddhi person...in short make him a man of your dreams.Can you do that for me,please??😳
The man of my dreams, eh? Need him to complete his education and get a job - family business is fine, as long as his work is respected. I actually liked how Anant was in the early days - when he explained to baba about the Valentine's Day problem, he wasn't muttering and stuttering - want to see that Anant back...
I would also like him to be more sensible (eg be more privacy conscious Embarrassed - important in a joint family set up I think and given the fact that our deviji is shy/introverted). And I'd definitely like him to be more reliable - he should carry out what he promises, otherwise it feels like he is just full of empty words and no action...the rest of his qualities - innocence, charm, respect for elders, etc is spot on...

Image wise, he is fine - nothing that periodical visits to the barber and some good, decent quality shirts/t-shirts won't sort out ☺️...

That's it from me...Looking forward to your replies.😊

Nish - thanks a lot for the questions - they were fab!

Usha, I'm having a great time reding your answers...This is one of the best weeks of the Bekaboo thread...Superb questions and brilliant answers...
It will be unfair if dont ask you anything...Here comes few from my side...
1. Give few tips to Rama and help her with her "BD ko quilla se hamesha keliye bhagao" mission?
2. What would be your advice for Navya before she steps into the looney house as bahu?
3. What would be your advice for the hone wala dulhe raja?
4. Suggest a Nimmi-Nikhil track which will be an eye opener for the looney family?
Hope you will enjoy answering them.
