Hi Mary!
Nice post and totally agree with you about everything u wrote. Before leap I use to see madhubala now and then after I quit when Sultan was shown as RK's step bro. Post leap I wanted to see regularly for the fresh story line and for DD being her fan since Geet. I was bit upset seeing Gunjan but started liking the story now. This past week was really cute and light hearted. I liked Ak's considerate behavior, Madhu being Jhalli, her cute bond with bittuji and sunny ( I like Sunny more than Gunjan in both looks and acting), Bebe's attitude and her punjabi accent which gives a kind of energy to the scenes. I am also happy they are pairing sunny and AK's sis. They both along with Bebe would be of great support to AK and Madhu's pairing when needed
Bit annoyed with Leelavathi and I am glad they reduced her scenes this week. Almost as much annoyed with Ananya's taunts but they summed it all very well in the last episode. I am now glad only nikhil and step mom are the villains. However we have to deal with Ananya's irritating taunts as Nikhil and Secretary are going to use her for their war. RK and Deepali's taunts were really beautiful with RK on the winning hand. Here AK quitely takes them like abala naari. Atleast Bebe is there to give it back.
I have decided to ignore logic about AK and Madhu's age gap and enjoy their love. Bit skeptical how would Madhu forgive him with his dad being the murderer. I am glad that is cleared too. Above all I also feel Gunjan improved in this week. Though a long way to go with expressions but he is bare able. I am liking Madhu's mistakes at every corner and him cutely accepting them. Several scenes among them cracked me up and that to me is a good stress buster after long day at work. I also am enjoying the budding love from Madhu. This whole week I kept coming to this forum in hope of one supporting post to the new story line to pitch in my views but all I saw was just posts from ex fans missing VD. I don't blame them but I hope slowly we will have more supporting and story discussing posts like yours.
