Mostly a filler episode today- I guess they couldn't take the track forward because Nivedita ji is ill.



I will analyze the sub-plots first, because they seemed more substantial in terms of action. The Meher-Abeer parts were more important owing to the dialogues, and it will follow in the post below😊


Two important scenes which will propel future tracks-



1. Kuber comes to know of how Abeer sold the shares below its face value. Now, I don't know much about the share market, but I surmise that when the shares of a particular company are sold in bulk at a lower price, it indicates low investor confidence, which may sometimes have a cascading effect and cause the listed share value to come down. For Kuber, this is an affront to his reputation and his business which he holds dear above everything else. And the smart chap has connected the dots and has come to know that Abeer has done this to save Meher's family.


He obviously loves Abeer a lot, but does he value his business more? And will he be in cahoots with Shyam to pose a mortal danger to his own son?



2. The Rati outburst scene- Okay, this girl gives me a creepy psychopathic vibe, but I actually agree with parts of her speech.


We all know that Abeer is a kind soul and cares immensely for his loved ones (the episode actually began illustrating his love for Tunnu). And he does it selflessly, without thinking of the goodwill he'll earn by it.


But I think to some extent, he does believe that Nisaar and Meher owe him for what he did for them. The way I see it, he does not seek to glorify himself- NO. If that had been the case, he would've told Meher or Suman that he'd redeemed the house by his own money. But he's so large-hearted that he keeps Suman's jewels in the locker and silently accomplishes the task by selling his own shares.



However, I am afraid that he sees himself as bearing the burdens of his loved ones. For him, the onus of everyone's well-being falls on him, which inadvertently makes him see Nisaar now, and Meher in the past, as his dependents. In simple words, he is happy for Nissar to play the Robin to his Batman. Now what will happen when Nisaar wants the spotlight, the leading role, and goes solo, a la Zayn Malik?😆 Something to ponder over indeed.



His intentions are certainly not malicious as Rati points out- it's clear that she's crazy as a bat and can't see his goodness.



Rati is doing her job well- she is going to be the Yoko Ono who'll break the band apart. Considering that the other bandmates are already pissed with Nisaar, I am afraid she's getting there soon. BTW, is she going to tell Meher about Abeer pretending to be seriously hurt? She seemed to be going that way.



I was fascinated by how all of this connected to an earlier scene- the one where Meher tells Abeer that she and Nisaar haven't made their identities only because of him, and that he needs to stop thinking that he's the centre of their universe. And that Abeer at one point had accused Meher of endangering his friendship with Nisaar by fuelling their professional rivalry. We all know that Meher will not do that- she loves their friendship and was merely trying to do Nisaar a good turn.




Ironically, it is the person whom Abeer was fondly calling Bhabiji 😆 today who'll do the honours by causing a rift in his wonderful friendship with Nisaar. BTW, I was struck by how Nisaar readily gave away all his money to Abeer in yesterday's episode- that's so bloody sweet.⭐️




3. The Tunnu-Abeer scene- Again, so adorbs- perhaps the most awesome jiju-saala duo on TV today. Tunnu is so overwhelmed by Abeer's love for him that he hugs his jiju's legs when Abeer is dangling precariously on a stool. Cute⭐️




PLEASE SCROLL DOWN.

Having gotten through all the sub-plots, let me devote this part to our clueless hero and heroine.


OMG---They danced! To Twist from Love Aaj Kal, one of my favorite songs🥳



Meher was so ready to pack off Abeer in an auto...par humare badtameez hero hein ki maante nahin! Wanted to spend more time annoying his ladylove, methinks.So he called her a karela and said a bitter-gourd would probably look like her if it was a person😆





Abeer admiring Meher dancing with Tunnu I think he really seeks that old Meher he knew in her constantly, that carefree, affectionate girl who was so honest with him and confided in him. At the end of the day, he just wants her to be happy. So to see her letting her hair down gives him pleasure😳 Good moves by Asmita and the actor who plays Tunnu, BTW- They seemed to be enjoying themselves👏




So our badtameez hero again wanted a part of the fun and swung Meher into a couple of suave moves 😳 And EYELOCK❤️ Looks like the writers heard my prarthana. See, a couple of moments like this once in a while doesn't hurt!😃





The significant bits when it came to Abeer-Meher, however, had to do with the dialogues. At one point, Abeer calls her a Kaali billi who'll come in front of a car.




And in the precap, Meher and Abeer are having a war of words- again. And motormouth Abeer tells a Meher who's dangerously close to tears that rather than calling him a shaap, it is he who doesn't want a living-breathing Meher in his life (he said "hilti jhulti" if I am not wrong). Now, we all know that his words are a foreshadowing of something bad that's going to happen to Meher next week, a tragedy that'll engulf him without a warning. He's going to regret his words badly when the accident happens. Damn, I am actually looking forward to Meher's injuries- I think that makes me a horrible, horrible person.




This again shows how Abeer is impetuous, and utters words without thinking, only to regret them later. These words will compound his misery and hopefully make him ponder over his feelings for Meher and analyze what the future holds for them.




In this context, I call your attention to the significant Abeer-Nisaar moment at the end of yesterday's episode- where Nisaar asks Abeer why he's doing so much for Meher's family. Abeer, surprisingly, gives a simple reply- he doesn't know. His honesty was refreshing, because all this while he's been dilly-dallying with his feelings. But when his best friend asked him that very pertinent question, he was straight as an arrow with the response. I love how he's perhaps begun introspecting about the relationship and its future.





P.S. I was helping Mom move some cardboard boxes during the Nisaar-Rati scene, and I missed this bit which I read from other posts. Apparently Nisaar feels guilty in some way for Abeer and Meher's separation. Now don't tell me that he's still in love with Meher and caused the marriage to fail by poisoning Meher's ears. I LOVE Nisaar, and I don't see him as a malicious manipulator, that part is filled in by Shyam!




P.P.S- Abeer forcing a reluctant Bua to dance with him and leading her down the stairs while whirling her around😆 And Bua annoyed with Sattu Sir for coming to the party- now, what nickname had she given him in a previous episode? Sattu Sir looked so heartbroken by Bua's attitude😆😆

As soon as I saw the immediate reactions to Rati on the forum, I knew I was going to love today's episode! 😛😆

Rati is my girl! ⭐️

I just find her character most fascinating because she is not without her flaws, obviously, but she is something we see so rarely on Indian TV: a woman with amazing self-esteem who is not afraid to say exactly what she is thinking. And I honest to goodness did not think she said anything terribly shocking or blasphemous today. While we are accusing Rati of being manipulative (which I think she is but not in this particular instance), and "breaking up the band," we are forgetting how manipulative Abeer can appear to someone who doesn't understand his intentions, and we are neglecting the fact that good intentions don't always cancel out questionable behavior. Rati spoke from her point of view and nowhere did I see her willfully trying to misunderstand Abeer... she was just telling it like she saw it. Yoko may be breaking up the band, but could that have happened if Paul and John didn't already have issues? Imagine...😆

And I think Nissar's reaction to her question about his dosh in Abeer's past could be read one of two ways: either he did have some part to play in the way the divorce played out and he felt a pang of guilt, OR it hit him that Rati had a point and he didn't owe Abeer all this slack just because Abeer had had a tough past. If we read it the latter way, maybe he felt guilty for being an accomplice in Abeer's deceit and manipulation of Meher's feelings, and that is why he looked at them nervously during their eye-lock. After all, he has been a party to so many of Abeer's little games of late... the fake injuries, and now the gambling debt. And it hasn't been fair to his other friend Meher... something that Rati did point out to him (it was great to see Rati notice this injustice to Meher as well... girl power!).

Loved the episode, and I am excited for some filler-fluff while our beloved Sumanji recuperates. I hope she gets well soon!

Haha, I just love what you think of Rati, Samanalyse.



Absolutely, it's a rarity for a woman character to be this way- who actually speaks her mind and goes guns blazing to see her man succeed.



But does she have a great deal of self-esteem? I wonder. Because I see her most of the time keeping to herself, and the ways in which she asserts herself are very problematic. Most importantly, I do not see her craving for an identity of her own.



Remember in the first few episodes, Nissar couldn't even remember her name? She was a pretty much a non-entity in the office, the quiet secretary who did her job. It was after Meher's arrival and all the drama in the office b/w Abeer and Meher that she dared to speak out. Meher practically played a Cupid for Rati/Nissar because she could clearly see that Rati had a crush on her buddy.



It was afterwards that Rati told Nissar her name (which he had forgotten), spoke freely to him, and even got the gumption to advise Meher on her love life😃 She went on to gain more attention in the office because of her obvious attachment towards Nisaar, from Loveleen in particular.



The way I see it- Abeer has made Nisaar dependent on him inadvertently, while Rati has made Nisaar her enabler. His fame and his success is perhaps a subliminal way of validating her own identity. This is what makes her different from Meher- the former seeks to carve an identity of her own, than just being Abeer's ex-wife, while Rati wants to be the adoring fan/ partner in the background who will be the proverbial woman "behind a successful man"😊 That's how I see it. And it's the same reason why I find her to be a tad manipulative. I am honestly not convinced of the verity and depth of her feelings for Nisaar- it seems like a crush which has transitioned into a dangerous obsession.




Yet, I could see the truth in what she told Nisaar, that he deserves to be in the spotlight himself without being Abeer's sidekick. I think the Batman/Robin analogy fits in perfectly here. And I do feel that Abeer of late has been taking his success for granted- he's become complacent about being Sattu's blue-eyed boy. But what will happen when he falls off the pedestal? That'd be interesting.




Oh yeah, Yoko wouldn't have succeeded if there hadn't been problems b/w John and Paul already😃 But in this case, Rati seemed more like honest Iago- twisting home truths and poisoning Othello's ears with a different perspective of the events. There's always a danger in considering things at face value- things are not always what they seem to be. For Rati, Abeer might be the manipulator who's taking advantage of Nisaar's friendship- but isn't she seeing things in black and white too?




Relationships are complicated, and God knows, Abeer/Nisaar's friendship certainly is, with the class/wealth differences and the subordinate role that Nissar is content to play. I did like the fact that someone stirred up the hornet's nest, but I do think that for some relationships to work, the status quo has to be maintained. For instance, the female bonding thing that Meher-Bua-Suman have going on: Abeer's interference unnecessarily caused a ruckus in their universe and upset the carefully-constructed balance of relationships. In a similar way, Rati too is messing up a friendship which is true and abiding despite thriving on a hierarchy.




All I will say is- it's interesting to see her cause havoc in Abeer's paradise- and inadvertently Meher's too. And I do wonder about Nisaar's intentions now. He clearly had a crush on Meher at one point, and still has a soft corner for her. I wonder if his professional success will embolden him to approach Meher, though at the moment he seems occupied with Rati. I wonder how Rati will react if Nisaar shows his soft spot for Meher.🥱




I have to admit though, I am having a hard time seeing Nissar playing the baddie and jealous friend/crazy obsessed lover. I do think he knows something about Meher which makes him empathize with her- which Abeer doesn't. Or perhaps he inadvertently caused a misunderstanding or something? I don't know.




I SO agree with you on the good intentions part. That's the whole problem with Abeer- his heart's in the right place, but the process and the way in which he executes his plans are so off the mark. Meher on the contrary thinks things through and plans meticulously- another bone of contention b/w the protagonists.




I beg to differ on the female bonding thing b/w Meher and Rati, Samanalyse. The way Rati went running to Meher at the end of the episode- I think she conveyed the news about Abeer faking his injury to her boss (which perhaps caused the heated exchange b/w our protagonists in the precap).




I think she wants to sully Abeer's reputation so that Meher in her CEO capacity might avenge herself by supporting Nissar, and by spoiling Abeer's professional success. She has the misconception that it's Meher's bitterness as an ex-spouse which made her shift Abeer's slot to a late night one- though we know that's not the truth. At that time she had thanked Meher for that, I think. She's hoping for a reprise now!

No no, just their college days till now. Even in the flashback, Abeer is just in the process of falling for Meher while Meher is still resisting his friendship. Bus itna hi hua hai abhi tak.


Hope that clarifies your doubt!😊

"All I will say is- it's interesting to see her cause havoc in Abeer's paradise- and inadvertently Meher's too."

Bingo! This is why I like Rati so much. She is an awesome plot device and a great foil to Meher. I give her a little more credit in the identity department for that reason. She has a job that she is pretty good at and maybe she's happy with that and doesn't feel like she has has anything to prove. You don't have to be hugely ambitious to be secure with yourself and have good self esteem and showing a young woman like this only adds to the diversity of female characters on the show, one of my favorite things about BD.

What I like about her is her aggressive bluntness, which is both a virtue and a flaw. But I still maintain that it's exactly what Nissar needs to stop being the Robin to Abeer's Batman and become the Superman instead!

It's why a Meher would never work for Nissar... she would never push him past his comfort zone, which I think the dude needs, tbh. There has to be a point where he confronts Abeer for their friendship to grow past its own limitations, which you summarized so well. I am not sure what direction they will take Rati in ultimately, but I am enjoying how plausibly they are using her to build the rift between Abeer and Nissar!

Amrutha girl I am pretty tired of typing about this mind boggling side tracks 😆 even my hands are paining , I read every post , like button is not working for some reasons 🤢
But reading about our cutie pies in ur post 😳 gosh I loved it .
Really changed my muddled mind . It was spinning actually .

👏👏 Great post buddy .

I dnt think Cv's mention about Nissars crush is nothing to do with story !! They dnt put anything unnecessarily . Nissars crush deafinetly has its role in mehbeers separation either intentionally or unintentionally.

Let's wait and see what boy is gonna turn into.

I have seen very few shows , not much experienced like others , but what ever few shows I have seen , the noble character after leads became real hurdle For leads . 😆 Except IPkKND . I failed to estimate them terribly .

👏 No words , what u said is true , anyone doesn't need to be highly ambitious to be happy. She might be content ful with her present life.
And yes she does her work properly except for spilling coffee and pouring powder 😆
