All the three brothers are wearing chikan kari work kurtas in different colors. Gombi red, Shiva blue and Krish white.

Why this Dev got a special kurta?

That too in silk?

That too in black color?

Phir Rishita kyon na kahe ki bhed bhav hota hai.!!

Today when everyone was asking Krish what happened and Krish was stuttering and didn’t say anything immediately I thought “oooo nooo” Dhara her stuttering is contagious. 🤣 🤣 I’m happy though that he did say it, a lot faster then Dhara 🤣

The Pandya ferris wheel ... Past few episodes have been great in terms of reactions of past actions!

Watch episodes together- in continuation the story is moving with great interest.

Best part about this has been the plus & the minus constants of all characters.

Loved How Suman reminded her all 4 dikras first- Do not talk to wife like this to Dev, Donot harras/trouble any girl like this to ShiSh, Where was your concern when yr wife unleashed chaos on your brothers to Gaumbi.

I still want her to ask that same question to Dev. I still want her to stay in the element & take Dev's case asking him: why did he too not stop Dhara? why did he kept Raavi in dark, why did he leave Rishita behind and went alone for jal pickup?

We connect with her positives after Dhara's jiddi drama & she wheels back to her negative nasty reactions to Dhara with insensitive child remarks.

Suman's these remarks make us sympathize with Dhara- the original affectionate one. Current Dhara has a LOT to redeem.

Dhara is stuck in stubborn denial.. she has made it all about Krish & Shiva's prank. Rishita is given clean chit. Dev is given preferential treatment while Shiva -Raavi are denied even basic wiggle room. Zero support they get, where they are the ones who need the most.

It is not just partiality- this is unknowingly sawing seeds of real batwara- emotional batwara between these new couples.

Gaumbhi needs his own meditation session- some selfGyan alignment.

We hate maami- and rightly so. though her comment to Dhara on workload distribution was not wrong.

This is the USP of this show. All characters have their positives & negatives & they keep surfacing instantly.

Dev as a character is coming out as most spineless & sly these days. He stays quiet when needed to speak, he doesn't know how to balance his 2-year-old gfbiwi & make her adjust to family easier. He doesn't care about her feelings when sneaking for bhabhikafood. And when Maa is mad, he conveniently goes on his knee for bhabhi to avoid any direct questions to himself.

Wonder when will Suman pull this guy to answer? When will he speak in favor of Shiva in front of all? I won't mind Suman's paticottchap barb for Dev.

Shiva & Raavi: the blessed Souls! Loved the jal pickup part with background music.

Loved the pre-wedding-ish normal ShiVi walk the 'talks'!

Loved how momentarily mesmerized Shiva was seeing Raavi all ready for puja. Loved how comfortably they walked together going out for Puja. Loved how she sat next to Shiva after Suman left & asked what next- their thinking together.

And in a way loved seeing Dev-Shiva-Krish-Raavi at Mukteshwar terrace- Kind of like good old childhood days.

Unpopular opinion: I Liked Raavi in Gujarati way draped Sari. She looked perfect 'navi vahu'. Pretty & the way she was holding sari while walking the steps was oh so relatable sweet. Not sure why ITV has typecasted gujju sari draping with 'sack'? it is 100% norm / normal & most new vahus wear sari this way in Puja. (as normal or as tacky/sacky/behenji as showing leads with gajras/ chudas/ parandas/nath etc)! Alice looked elegant gujarati chhokri.

BTS pic, now as we know is from after toofan- So who knows- What happened in between? Maybe that's where pyare scenes come in play!!

Mr. Dhillon is correct: drama achcha jaa raha hai, all are part of these happenings & it is the context & surrounding situations that make ShiVa & Raavi's journey more interesting! Viewers need to trust the Pandya process & balance out constant complaining Rishita mode.

Bit on offscreen happenings: KD comes across as well-raised son. Bas thoda emotional typical Piscean. Hope too much media & social media hype don't mess up with this budding friendship & let things take their own course.

'My most favorite- our best is yet to come' is the best tactic.. smart one there! Well done :) Like seeing the happy forum & happy fandom!

Bonds offscreen is the strong point of this ensemble cast. Kala tika to that.

FINALLY.

Suman said everything I wanted someone to say to both Dhara & Gaumbi.

Especially highlighting the brutality of what Dhara did - everyone up until now kept glossing that over, as if that level of physical punishment was ok. We all know they live in a society / culture where a slap or another form of low physical punishment is common. Despite how we feel about, it's normal for them. But I love that Suman actually pointed out how it was "janwaar" like - Dhara took it too far. I think Dev even said that Dhara has never beaten them like that before ( he was blaming Rishita for causing it).

Secondly, I love how Suman grilled Gaumbi. Finally it was said. I get Dev, Shiva,Krish consider Dhara as a mother, but they still had Suman. They don't even have their father anymore which would make you think that Gaumbi took extra care in raising them like a father /being a father figure in the past 10 years. And maybe this is why I always get the vibe that the others still view him as just the older brother, because seems as if Gaumbi kind of failed in that regard of really being a father to them. Fathers protect their children, he couldn't even do that in this situation. And while we all know Dev, Shiva, Krish would never fault him, I'm glad Suman did. He really missed the mark here.

Thirdly, I think the comment that Suman made of Dhara not being a mother was not a taunt but a statement to make her realize that Dhara doesn't fully understand motherhood yet. I've said this in other comments before, someone who is truly a mother (biological or adoptive) and truly in their right mind (I don't think Dhara is), would never give their kids that level of punishment especially over what they did. Dhara acts more like their police than their mother, but she thinks she's acting like a mother would. She has the wrong idea of motherhood, possibly due to the fact that she never had a mother either. She thinks that she needs to make her children perfect and that she must be the one to punish the "kids" but doesn't realize her kids are now young adults and can be spoken to and reasoned with.

Also I think the whole point of Suman's statement of Dhara not having kids was to make Dhara & Gaumbi understand how Suman felt. Suman carried these children for 9 months, went through hours of countless labor for them, cared for them as an infant up until she was paralyzed. Yes, Dhara was able to help parent the kids, but before that? Suman was there from the beginning. Sometimes the way Dhara acts, she forgets that Suman is their still present (because I'm not trying to knock adoptive mothers) mother and their first mother. Dhara coming in and helping the past 10 years doesn't mean she can ignore that Suman was and still is their mother. She never once considered how Suman would feel, she was only scared of how Suman would punish her. Yes Suman gives Dhara the status of Bhabhimaa, but that doesn't mean she can do anything to D/S/K. I personally think that's wrong. She's still not their only mother, especially considering that Suman is around. Yeah Suman wasn't present for that situation, but she could've waited. They're just, if not more, scared of Suman.

@Bold Currently I feel the same about that situation. I may feel differently after the next episode. I didn't want to react too early as I prefer to see the whole thing first, just like the Dhara beating scene. But for now it felt like she's saying Dhara won't know how Suman feels as she doesn't have kids of her own, not as a taunt but as to show her the reality.

If I think about my life, apart from my mum I have my chachi and khala who all played a part in raising me. They have right over me and have been allowed to discipline me with my mum's permission. But if mum said to them you are not allowed to discipline using violence, they would no doubt accept that without question or arguments...because that's my real mother! Her feelings and methods would come before theirs, or my mum would have to agree to their methods. And they themselves would think about if that was their real child, would they do this.

I think in the show they blur that line too much, Dhara should have a right but Suman's words should come first as they are HER children.

I am bored. I have taken a 30 min break from work . Anyone there??😃
