Dialogue Male and Female of the Fortnight
By: loveabletwinz
None for this Fortnight

Star Male and Female of the Fortnight
By: aartifarty
Star Female : Ok, well believe it or not but one female definitely comes to mind and that is MANJU !! ... she has been great this fortnight (apart from lying to Sul aai *hehe*) ... but she has done some praisable things ... for example , she saved vandu from being tortured and scolds at ajit for not looking after his wife ... but the icing on the cake is when she tells RA she wont be a part of her games because she knows RA is wrong !! ...
Star Male : We have only One Knight in Shining Armor in PR this fortnight and it is are very own SATISH !!! ... i think he is the only guy who can stand up for himself and his wife ... he sticks to his beliefs and follows them ... he is a man of principals and he will always support his wife ... i am so glad when he said "he knows varshu's innocent and he is going to prove it" .. loved that scene and he said it to his AAI !!! now thats praise worthy !!

Star Actor and Actress of the Fortnight
By: toothbrush13
Star Actress : The Star Actress of this Fortnight has portrayed her character very consistently throughout the course of the show and has injected now trademark expressions and habits which are unique to the character. This fortnight's Star Actress is Swati Anand as Manjusha! While her character seems to be having some mood swings, she manages well and portrays Manjusha with the attitude that such a character requires. The bushy hair with gajras, the neatly pleated pallus, and the nail-biting have become synonymous with her character, and Swati leaves you with no doubt about who is on screen even if you don't watch. Her way of delivering dialogues while measuring up the opposition has become apart of Manjusha's style and makes her unique amongst the flood of excellent artists on Pavitra Rishta. Swati Anand has been doing a swell job from the beginning of the show, and while we near the one-year anniversary, she deserves this spot for her excellent portrayal of grey character Manjusha.
Star Actor : The Star Actor of this Fortnight has been in this spot once before, but at that time it was simply for his improvement throughout the show, not for any stellar acting. This time though, Anurag Sharma is the Star Actor for his wonderful portrayal of Satish this past fortnight. Anurag has become excellent at controlling his emotions and giving the correct expressions. He no longer makes one split into giggles with his "serious" expressions, rather he evokes the right emotions every time in his dramatic and light-hearted scenes. Noteworthy were the scenes with Priya Marathe (Varsha) after the affair was revealed. Anurag had very natural and tender expressions, a clear sign of an actor who has grown and come to truly embody his character on screen. Anurag Sharma has done a wonderful job as Satish thus far, and this past fortnight he has done acting that is truly worthy of being the Star Actor of the Fortnight.

Best Family Scene of the Fortnight
By: aartifarty
I think we have been short of family scenes this fortnight ... but there was one really sweet scene where vershu went to the deshmukhs and then she told archu everything and then Aai came into the room and tells vershu she knows everything ... Aai was very affectionate to vershu and archu so happy to see this ...

Review for Fortnight
By: rdfan
Uffff ....when will Rasika and Ajit find something more decent to do ....they are just the limit .....just because Sul and Co dont take revenge of their actions with manju ..these two are really getting out of hand but nevertheless there is always a silver lining to a dark cloud and here the silver lining seems to be Sasha cause atleast they beat Arman in having a Pavitra Rishta ......so proud of Satish ....
Another fortnite goes by ...and story continues ...some Arman scenes , some Archu-Sav aai scenes and a rocking new Manju.....hope Vandu learns to stand up for herself quick , and a quick advice for her aswell'please archu se lesson mat lena ...and not from manav either kuch apni mom se sikho ...on how to handle men !!!!
Rating for this fortnight -4/5( an extra mark for manju !!!!)

Expectations for next Fortnight
By: toothbrush13
Regular readers, forget about any patterns, we know that there will be high drama in the next fortnight.
Beginning with confirmed events, the week will start with more preparations for Shravani's godh bharai. The first week will be mostly taken up by the godh bharai and the ensuing celebrations and crying fest, which are rather self-explanatory. Expect more angry expressions from Shravani, more tears from Archana, and more helplessness from everyone else. SBB shows that there will be a very emotional scene most likely after the godh bharai (but perhaps before, it is not clear yet) in Manav's room. Archana will break down and reveal all her innermost thoughts to Manav, while crying of course. She will also hug Manav again, but unlike her previous attempts where Manav played statue, he will hug her back with passion as if he does not want to let go. It will be a scene to look out for and viewers will hope that Manav will not start with any "friendship" dialogues again. The next confirmed event comes in on Monday, May 31st, when a Maha Episode will be aired which will supposedly showcase the divorce. Absolutely nothing can be confirmed on the storyline for that week, all that is known is that the drama will be BIG. June 1st is the one-year anniversary of Pavitra Rishta, and viewers will hope that it is celebrated in style with the divorce not taking place and Archana and Manav reuniting.
Will anything go wrong during the godh bharai? What will Manav's verbal reactions be to Archana's emotional speel in his room? Will Shravani see them hugging? What will the divorce court scene be like? What will everyone's reactions be? Will anything more happen in Varsha's situation? Will Aswhin try to create more drama? Will Urmila become bitter towards Varsha? Will Mohanrao make a comeback? What is Satish's last name? Will there be any improvement in Vandita's situation? Will the garage re-open? Lastly, forget about Shravani's expressions, WILL THE DIVORCE HAPPEN?
As always, expect the unexpected on Pavitra Rishta, and don't forget to watch Monday, May 31st, at 9:00 pm IST for the final verdict, only on Zee TV.
