Hello Gravity, Very Nice Review. Felt like a river flow...Your earlier reviews helped me to conveniently skip the episodes related to the heart breaking 360 deg turn that Raman took for no reason. I was reading LU for long time until very recently I switched back to watching online mode .Since you have talked about Shagun/ adi in this post , I just wanted to ask u if you really think that it was the actual Shagun whom we know towards Adi? Somehow I feel they went bit overboard on that part.I am copying here whatever I wrote yesterday On Gan's thread.Today's episode was once again like laying multiple foundations for future track.I eagerly started to see the continuity of yesterday's episode but was let down badly. The CVs had enough time to show shagun's non existing anniversary celebrations elaborately but here for the actual one they had to just show the entire family just returning tired...Time and again am ranting the same kind of issues...Looks like no end to it and we have to live with it. They tried the SAME TRICK they did during the Mani track...and a number of other tracks where, after getting their target viewers back, they didnt bother with properly wrapping up the tracks...its like...Chaar dinon ki chaandni, Pphir Kkaali raat...They could've devoted ANOTHER 10 minutes or so to showing how the couple celebrated THEIR special day...Arrey...pata hi nai chala ki unhone kiya kya???Adi - Shagun : I really felt bad for adi. No kid deserve such a mom. However something which I was not very convinced was the way CVs portray Shagun's attitude towards adi. I know she is an extreme self obsessed character but she was never shown in the past that she does not completely care for Adi. We cannot completely rule out that she never had concerns on his future...Well...she cares about him ALRIGHT...but she isnt RESPONSIBLE nuff...I mean...she should've been MORE careful about Adi's mental state and his needs when she was busy plotting against her Sauten...So Im not very surprised at her behaviour...She can stoop LOWER than what she's already slipped to, Im sure of that...Earlier too...she had the money to arrange EVERYTHING for Adi...but was never really INVOLVED in his welfare...she has always USED him than CARE FOR himFew instances...- She questioned Ashok for bringing Adi back from boarding school while the exams were nearing- She allowed bala to coach Adi thining that she cannot take risk or mess up with his future.- She went back to Ashok and asked him to sign the papers on legal adoption related stuff else she threatened to call of the marriage - This one, we have to remember that AS USUAL...Adi was a TOOL she used as a shield even during her live-in relationsip with Ashok..- She took the blame in the accident track - and then later tried to get closer to Raman THROUGH Adi...- She was shown to do different recipes in the past just for Adi andBut now all of a sudden they just show adi to be considered as just a shield for her and nothing else . It is so unreal that she does not even bother about his food , projects etc ...I dont find it UNREAL...From the time the mother-son duo entered Bhalla House...one thing has been CLEAR...for all to see...Shagun USES Adi as much as she can...uski wajah se usko jitna bhi fayda ho woh kam hai...And well..I have personally seen women USE THEIR KIDS for THEIR selfish motives...and Shagun is left WITH NO OPTION but to fight for her survival the best she can...We're forgetting that Adi is Bhalla Parivaar's Chiraag...Raman will leave NO STONE UNTURNED for Adi and his future...So, why is she HELL-BENT on emotionally manipulating Adi?? Its only because she has something to GAIN from it...Adi jab tak uske chkkar mein rahega...Shagn ko sab kch free mein milta rahegaRather taking this path , I would have really preferred CVs to deal with parenting issues more realistically especially the blind love repercussions. I know...And I guess, the way we viewers were so upset with Raman's blind love for Adi..they toned it down and shifted Adi to Amma's place...THEY COULD'VE DONE THAT MUCH, MUCH EARLIERNow coming back to adi - shagun equation, One thing that I really wanted to appreciate is Adi's unconditional love for shagun. Everyone here wants adi to realize shagun's true intentions and leave her but seeing today's episode I dont know why but I feel, it would be more appropriate if Shagun realizes her mistake and give what adi really wants in his life. If there is one relation where we just cannot give up completely despite knowing they are at fault is parent- child relationship. There may be hardships for ever in that relation but life time attempt to get back on track will always be there. You're right...Adi loves Shagun UNCONDITIONALLY...Unfortunately, HE is the parent here...not Shagun...Shagun will NEVER realize her mistake...and this, Ive come to accept...Adi will definitely start understanding her true motives...and he will be crushed...Poor kid...Dunno how he will behave with Shaggy after thatAdi - Ishita: I really really loved the scene today especially the heartfelt thank u from adi. Same here...it was so warm, genuineRest of the episode I am just skipping my comment as Raman's actual role puzzle itself is still not over for me. Just 1 question to the boss.Mr Boss, Where were u when Raman made decisions earlier for all the previous projects, bidding, etc etc...As you wil discover in today's episode, the MD is a swine too😡
