OK ok so yes there were things in today's episode that were not fun, and it looks like tomorrow is going to feature some really nauseating Tanu/Abhi screentime, BUT there were so many fun and interesting moments today!!

Come on, surely I'm not the only one that appreciated one or more of the following??

Bhabhi-Dewar Bonding
Guys that Pragya-Purab phone call! My heart just melted so many times!! I actually don't have a lot of patience for Purab's story - if some guy was telling me he fell in love with my beloved little sister after he had promised to marry his own best friend's sister, I would not be impressed 😒. But Purab's confidence that Pragya Di will surely help him, that she can make a difference - the way he kept saying 'Pragya Di, Pragya Di' - just loved it! They do not know they are bhabhi-dewar yet but I already get the sense that Pragya is going to take big sisterly responsibility for little bro Purab's silly little problems...

(Yes right now those problems are causing her lots of direct pain and they're not silly or little but I'm looking on the cute side 😆)

'Aisa jeevansaathi jisse mujhe kisse se baatna pare'
So Pragya has a moment of introspection, thinking how did she end up in this complicated world of lies when all she wanted was a simple life. I actually really like how she's thinking of Tanu/Abhi right now. She has accepted it as part of life, being realistic about what she saw instead of being in denial. Now she just needs to get motivated to change that reality 😃

Pragya's Burning Looks
Of course I would prefer if Pragya would actually vocally stand up for herself, or find ways to actively make Abhi pay for all the games he's playing with her, but it's at least a good start that she always lets him know with her eyes that she's not fooled for a minute. I mean most of the time heroines get stuck in this perma-confusion state where they look at their partners with sad eyes all the time, as if to ask 'Why did you betray me? I'm sooo perfect' - but Pragya is angry and willing to show it to at least Abhi if not yet the rest of the world. 👍🏼

Kamla Aunty's KumKum
So that was a totally random crossover for Ek Mutthi Asmaan. Seems pretty pointess except after Kamla's line that ''Ek aurat ki liye kumkum ka raang sabse aache hota hai...mein bappase dua karengi ki yeh raang tumhari zindagi mein dher saare khushiyaan leh karaye," I want to see Pragya dressed in kumkum coloured clothes ASAP! Can you imagine, either in a dress or sari, you know Pragya would look awesome in that deep-red/scarlet. The color of beautiful women, dangerous attitudes, and REVENGE!! 😆

Suresh the Best Friend
So I only really started following the show around the time that Aaliya started manipulating Abhi about marrying Pragya (like...a week ago 😛). So, I haven't seen most of the episodes that show Pragya and Suresh's relationship, and I didn't understand why anyone would like him. But today! He showed up uninvited, wearing her gesture of friendship (the tie), because he suspected that something might not be right and he cares about her happiness. Too bad he was so easily fooled, but points to him for trying! I kind of like him now and I guess I won't mind if he sticks around 😳

I just hope he doesn't keep having these annoying lecture scenes with Bulbul, who doesn't seem to ever be willing to give a guy a chance to explain himself 😡

Abhi & Pragya's Glasses
No doubt about it, Abhi humiliating Pragya with that dance is a world-class jerk move. But his acting as a besotted husband for the rest of the world? Was kind of hilarious. Especially when he picked up Pragya's glasses and tried them on before fake-romantically putting them back on her. 🤣 (Not to mention the line "Lesson...Abhi (points to self)... baaki hain"!!! 😆)

I'll say again the dance was really awful and if I were Pragya I would be unspeakably upset. It's not right of Abhi to treat her like this and to act like everything's great for the rest of the world. But...maybe I'm just a bad person...I can't help enjoying his outrageous acting! I think Pragya's angry looks help me deal with it...😉

So...the misunderstanding has just gotten started, the torture has just begun, and we can expect a lot of awfulness in the coming weeks. But there's some fun along the way na?!

Or am I just crazy for liking these things?? 😆

Thanks for the review Dekhiki. Very nice.
Shabbir is doing an extremely good job at this monster of a husband with a sweet face act. I am loving Abhi's one liners and the way he is blurting them out. Hilarious.

I know the scenario is horrible, but even a villain can have a sense of humour hmm?

I think maybe the degree to which one is willing to like/forgive/make excuses for Abhi relates to the degree to which one is a Shabbir fan. Personally I think Shabbir is awesome so it's very easy for me to like Abhi 😆

Memememmee! 😆

Purab is soon going to run around whining "Pragya Di Pragya Di" and clutching at her achal, moaning about his love life! 😆

(Yes right now those problems are causing her lots of direct pain and they're not silly or little but I'm looking on the cute side 😆)

Now she just needs to get motivated to change that reality 😃

I would like to see her being shown to not give a damn about Abhi & Tannu's relationship, which will make both of them miffed! 😆 She should just roll her eyes and give them "you're crazy" looks!

Pragya's Burning Looks
Of course I would prefer if Pragya would actually vocally stand up for herself, or find ways to actively make Abhi pay for all the games he's playing with her, but it's at least a good start that she always lets him know with her eyes that she's not fooled for a minute.

I'm sooo perfect' - but Pragya is angry and willing to show it to at least Abhi if not yet the rest of the world. 👍🏼

Definitely, even Abhi is stumped when she does her venom filled "die you b*****d!"😡🤬 look! When she snatched her hand from his, he was frozen in place!😆

Kamla Aunty's KumKum
So that was a totally random crossover for Ek Mutthi Asmaan. Seems pretty pointess except after Kamla's line that ''Ek aurat ki liye kumkum ka raang sabse aache hota hai...mein bappase dua karengi ki yeh raang tumhari zindagi mein dher saare khushiyaan leh karaye," I want to see Pragya dressed in kumkum coloured clothes ASAP! Can you imagine, either in a dress or sari, you know Pragya would look awesome in that deep-red/scarlet. The color of beautiful women, dangerous attitudes, and REVENGE!! 😆

Oh god, that just brings to mind all the over dressed and over made up vamps of TV land! I am sure Prags wont look like THAT, but my over active imagination...🤪

Suresh the Best Friend
So I only really started following the show around the time that Aaliya started manipulating Abhi about marrying Pragya (like...a week ago 😛). So, I haven't seen most of the episodes that show Pragya and Suresh's relationship, and I didn't understand why anyone would like him. But today!

Too bad he was so easily fooled, but points to him for trying! I kind of like him now and I guess I won't mind if he sticks around 😳

I really hope Suresh & Prags become close once again, not as lovers but as friends. They used to support each other sooo much and i loved that!😊 She needs someone to talk to and he has the courage to help her fight the injustice, like old times. 😃

I just hope he doesn't keep having these annoying lecture scenes with Bulbul, who doesn't seem to ever be willing to give a guy a chance to explain himself 😡

Seriously that stupid BB can't even handle her own love life yet goes around lecturing others! 😡

Abhi & Pragya's Glasses
No doubt about it, Abhi humiliating Pragya with that dance is a world-class jerk move. But his acting as a besotted husband for the rest of the world? Was kind of hilarious. Especially when he picked up Pragya's glasses and tried them on before fake-romantically putting them back on her.

I totally cracked up when he looked through the lenses and went cross eyed! Hilarious! 😆😆🤣

🤣 (Not to mention the line "Lesson...Abhi (points to self)... baaki hain"!!! 😆)

I'll say again the dance was really awful and if I were Pragya I would be unspeakably upset. It's not right of Abhi to treat her like this and to act like everything's great for the rest of the world. But...maybe I'm just a bad person...I can't help enjoying his outrageous acting! I think Pragya's angry looks help me deal with it...😉

He is a bad bad boy! But i loves him! (he looks so good in that suit)😳

So...the misunderstanding has just gotten started, the torture has just begun, and we can expect a lot of awfulness in the coming weeks. But there's some fun along the way na?!

You are NOT alone! 😆 I love the revenge tracks because we get to see the angst, the hate, the unwilling attraction, the denial and the actors get to display so many different emotions.👏 I find that after the "i lobes you"🤢, the serial usually goes downhill into kitchen politics. 🤢

I don;t mind if they stretch this as long as possible, because i have watched Ekta's Kayamath and know what to expect. Anyone who has watched Ekta's previous shows should know that the revenge marriage dramas are her specialty and not expect otherwise.
This is a revenge marriage drama and it WILL be stretched, it WILL introduce multiple vamps, misunderstandings and maybe even multiple marriages for the leads. Anyone who is against the current track should realize that its NOT going to end any time soon and just be patient until the lovey dovey track starts.

Ekta will tell the story as she wants and as is her right to do so. She never claimed to be making a ground breaking new drama the type of which has never been seen before. Indeed she even said that it will be the same type of story but with a new cast.

Abhi WILL be shown to do even more worse things than the dance, and unless we have the patience to watch the episodes, we will not feel the self hatred Abhi will go through once he knows the truth. Right now we need to feel the shock and disgust ourselves, to be able to forgive Abhi once the reedemption track is at its end, because Pragya WILL forgive him. We need to travel with her on the journey from hate to love for the man who, right now, is determined to break her.

Mark my words, you WILL love Abhi sooner or later!

(LOL!!!) You have company in the crazy department as I myself am enjoying Abhi's outrageous acts! Not too cruel ... just enough to give a little "kick" to the show!!! Want Pragya to stand up to Abhi and give him as good as she gets! She's no stupid backward girl!!!! We all know who will be on floor begging at the end 😆!!!

And to know that Shabbir will convincingly redeem (although I don't think Abhi has stooped that low) Abhi helps! He has redeemed worse characters before.

ChurailMukhi...
I will repeat your words. A day will come when the forum will go GAGA over Abhi.😆

Kayamath was worse than this. Milind was crude and upright rude. He couldn't have smiled... he was scary.. but in the end, he turned out to be endearing.

i like shabbir so i love watching him...i have waited soo long for him to come back...nd i dont like pragya nd her lectures so her emotional attyachar on herself nd doesnt gt any sympathy from me bcoz she cjose to keep her mouth shut so take it..!
purab i like arijit bt i dont like purab much he is too whiny for my liking..nd he lacking a backbo.e to confess d truth to bb nd abhi is d reason for all d mess..as of nw he is my least fav char..
BB suresh iactually love their scenes <3 i think suresh can keep bb happy where as purab is sure to dump her somewhere down d lane...if he could go back on words given to his bro like frnd i doubt he is trust worthy...where as suresh nd his unconditional love fir bb attracts me to them:-D nd pls if her suppose bf chose to hide abt his suppose to b fiance frm her hw is it she nt managing her love life properly :-P clearly shows ur dislike for d actress going by ur theory of loving abhi😆

Aiiee ChurailMukhi it seems we think alike!! Haha thank you for chiming in, it's good to know I'm not alone 😃
[Quote=ChurailMukhi]Purab is soon going to run around whining "Pragya Di Pragya Di" and clutching at her achal, moaning about his love life! 😆
LOL clutching at her achal! 😆 He does seem like such a lost little boy sometimes.🤔

[Quote=ChurailMukhi]I would like to see her being shown to not give a damn about Abhi & Tannu's relationship, which will make both of them miffed! 😆 She should just roll her eyes and give them "you're crazy" looks!
Oooh! I like this idea. The whole 'indifference sparks indignation' dynamic is one of my favourites. Alas I think the show is going to go with Pragya feeling offended/outraged, but that has its own possibilities...I just hope the show doesn't go with 'Pragya is hurt and her emotional development stops there' 😕

[Quote=ChurailMukhi]Oh god, that just brings to mind all the over dressed and over made up vamps of TV land! I am sure Prags wont look like THAT, but my over active imagination...🤪
No I can't blame you, the idea has a high potential for vampness! It would take a careful hand to make her seem more like...ma kaali ka roop, if that makes sense. Vengeful goddess rather than vamp is what I had in mind at any rate.

[Quote=ChurailMukhi]I totally cracked up when he looked through the lenses and went cross eyed! Hilarious! 😆😆🤣
YES!!! He went cross eyed! I literally laughed out loud at that, so glad you noticed it too. 😆

[Quote=ChurailMukhi]He is a bad bad boy! But i loves him! (he looks so good in that suit)😳
I had legitimately that same series of thoughts. THAT SUIT, NA! *swoons* 😳

Re: Revenge tracks
The unwilling attraction has to be my favourite part of this kind of story, thank you for mentioning it in your list. And yes, it gives actors a lot to work with, which makes them more fun to watch!!

You are of course right that the revenge drama will be stretched. There's not much of a story when a couple is happy and in perfect understanding with each other! Multiple vamps I could handle but multiple marriages are one of my least favourite tropes so I reeeally hope that never happens here, but I guess time will tell.

Accha...so we will watch Abhi fall further and further in his self-esteem...then we will watch Pragya grow to understand and forgive him because she's just that compassionate..yeah, sounds about right, perfect prediction! 😆

[Quote=ChurailMukhi]We need to travel with her on the journey from hate to love for the man who, right now, is determined to break her.
Ack when you put it like that it makes me hate myself a little for being so totally excited for this story 🤢
BUT that is the perfect way of putting it, and it's an age old romantic formula, so I'm just going to enjoy this version of it and reserve the critical analysis for some other time. 😆

Thank you for joining in the fun!! Really enjoyed reading your post. 😊
