Good and totally absorbing epi today! The prize for being a massive hypocrite however goes to Lakshya IMO! I totally agree with all he said about Ragini's actions and boy, did she deserve it- the best thing that could have happened to her was for the object of her insane obsession to do this to her. Much needed reality check and I'm glad Lucky told her not to play victim.🤢
BUT- seriously- where was Lux's own brand of acceptance in all of this?! 😡 Oh I know he made token gestures but to me it all came across too much as the CVs trying to put too much gloss on a character they effectively assassinated in the past few months.
I felt like shouting back at him that just as he tells Ragini not to play victim, he shouldn't either! He did after all make some pretty rubbish errors of judgment and displayed a really appalling lack of trust. 🤢 I am not sure that he took that on himself enough- let's see tomorrow but I doubt he will and yes, of course, he can't be blamed for the evil Ragini unleashed but he can be for switching his brain off totally?!
I did like however, the assessment he gave of how his "love" with Swara developed. Maybe I am totally reading too much into this but the way he was describing it all, made me almost feel like an explanation of why is CANNOT be rekindled? I don't know- I just felt like (whilst that was clearly not his intention), the whole thing minimised their feelings? It was almost as though they weren't going to be and wouldn't have been but were almost convinced to go for it? Don't know- I know SwaSan are also "forced" together by circumstances but this to me almost smacked of an explanation of how it was a doomed project from the start. Happily admit that my SwaSan shipper heart may be imputing all this from nothing 😕.
Oh and what is with those hand gestures by Namish today?! 😲 It seemed like watching someone trying too hard on a stage play. If the intention was to replicate Big B (?!?!?!)- epic fail. I just wish he'd just have gone for a more natural enactment there. Not being insulting or offensive, genuinely felt that it didn't work especially as the others were on form.
Oh and giving him the "yada yada hi dharmasya" BG score when leading Ragini away was too much IMO- he certainly wasn't the symbolic Krishna of this Mahabharata! Come on creatives- I know you want to restore him to "hero" status but keep some balance na?! 😳
Oh and Swara- so irked me as she clearly already showed that she will interfere with Lux wanting to (totally legitimately) divorce Ragini. Swara- please focus on your own life for a change 😡. I felt for her when she described her feelings and I felt that went a long way to explaining why she would be struggling to love and trust again- but that bit at the end- hmmm, overmuch Swara. Can't fault Sanskaar as ever- he seemed to get and relate to Ragini but still was aptly satisfied she was outed and will be stopped. VK nailed it as ever and I know this post isn't about SwaSan as such but couldn't resist the side note- hazard of being a shipper 😳

Shruti...🤗...what a brilliant post dear...
even I liked yesterday's epi and for me the star of the epi was Ragini...perfect emotions 😛...coming to lakshya, well I have always thought only he can burst ragu's bubble and he sure did...👏...but as usual over acted...hmmm guess we need to get used to that...
Now coming back to being a hypocrite,i would beg to differ a little...he did acknowledge his mistakes and apologized though he can't set the wrongs, right by just being sorry...all our actions has a reaction and believe it or not consequences too...!!!...he seemed to forgot that though...so typical lakshya...😆...he wronged ragini yes. but did not unleash the Frankenstein in her...the seeds were sowed in her childhood...lux ji fanned it and sanskaar unleashed it without knowing what a horrendous character she will become...and to be honest to a certain extent I would also blame swara...there was a scene, where after talking to lakshya, she misunderstands him and tells ragini that she thinks even lakshya loves her but he's a bit shy about it...😲...though she did it unknowingly, but still the point is when you don't have the facts, then don't speculate either...period...!!!...(everybody fed ragini wrong info and being the girl she was she lost it...when we stretch a band a little too buch, there is always a chance that it will snap and when it does you get hurt...so yes when finally ragini did snap she left a wake of destruction in its wake)...I won't blame lux entirely, but I do agree with you that he should have used his brains...but we all know, he is lacking in that department and is swayed easily...🤢
however, in general if we are talking about being a hypocrite, without a teeny weeny bit of doubt, I would say, its Swara, the saint who is a massive hypocrite...yesterday was again an indication that she would again interfere in ragya relation for ragini's sake...without ever thinking that there is some thing called "minding our own business"...she should first set her life in order
She will be thinking about giving divorce to sanskaar as it was forced, but in the same coin even ragya was kind of forced, though lakshya did it of his own will, but still that he was emotionally manipulated cannot be negated...she just knows how to give grand lectures abut never seem to have the courage to apply to her own self...🤢
I will stop now or else the post will become too long...but the sanskaar fan in me is anxious ...I am dreading the coming episodes...😭😭

kaku said it all...so i'm just gonna bold the gems here.

I want sanky to find someone who loves him back. 😭 iss swara ka koi bharosa nahi. ma baba jaap khatam..now mission ragya.

I mean how can she
a) force a criminal on to a guy? if laksh wants to divorce rags after all this..its certainly justified.

b)never even acknowledge that sanky loves her...and even try to reciprocate it? I mean the guy did a lot for ur sake. on top of that u lecture laksh as to who is suhaag and all? ewww. swara is giving stiff competition to laksh in terms of debauchered charcters.

C)continue with her grwatness lectures...she certainly could not get rags to give out any truth by any sacchai ki raah..she had to resort to trickery...exactly what she was against sanky for. eat ur words gal?😡

Bang on post Shruti! 🤗 👏

I loved the episode yesterday - like really LOVED it. I told you, even after watching all the scenes in SBS and SBAS and everywhere else - I will enjoy it - and I did. It was an action packed episode and star of the episode was Teju. She was exceptional yesterday. For the first time I realised how well the writers have shaped up Tejaswi's character - even if negative - I am mighty impressed. She deserves an applaud ! 👏 👏

This is the first time I did not Helly's acting - I mean for some reason her words did not touch me the way Teju's did. Helly did not have any impact on me whatsoever yesterday. Namish - He was okayish - not too bad - not too good. But, I did notice the AB thingy that Kavya also mentioned. My sister and I giggled at that. 😆 😆

Coming to Lakshya in general - he is a classic case of a man who would like to blame his faults on others. I liked how Lakshya apologised to Ragini for leading her on - and that was needed. Ragini can be held to fault for obvious reasons - but Lakshya did have a role to play in it as well. What I did not like was - how he did not accept his fault in this whole mess. Yes, Ragini may have committed crimes to get her love - but Lakshya did NOT trust the woman he loves and that is his crime. He married the sister of his love in the spur of a moment and that is his crime - he called the one he loved characterless - that is his crime and he insulted the one he loves - constantly - day in and day out - and that is his crime. Lakshya too committed a crime - a crime against love. It is not similar to what Ragini did. But Lakshya had an equal role to play in killing Swara emotionally and he has got to accept that!

Also, when he kept saying that he and swara were never meant to happen - I was disgusted. I mean if you already knew you and swara are never going to happen - then why create this whole mess? From his outburst all it seemed was that Swara was FORCED to fall in love with Lakshya and accept him. Even when Swara asked Ragini on why Ragini forced her to get married to Lakshya - it really did not seem as if she ever truly loved Lakshya. Just like Ragini was made to believe Lakshya was going to be her husband - similarly Swara was also made to believe that Lakshya is the right one for her and she fell in the trap and accepted Lakshya. It all got so confusing in the end. 🥱 I mean if anyone has had that moment in school when your bestfriend tells you that this one guy likes you and unintentionally you start noticing that guy and start liking him? I have had that and it totally felt like it was the same case with Swara. 😆😆

But I really hope Swara does not go back to Lakshya. I do not mind Swara interfering in Ragya because that is who she is. That is her character - to meddle in everybody else's business. If she did not do that she would not be Swara. She has to meddle in between Ragini and Lakshya otherwise her character would not be rightly handled. Infact, I am looking forward to the meddling. Finally we can move from Maa-Baba jaap to Ragya jaap 😆 😆

HI! It is a refreshing post, just thinking about we are talking the aftermath of Ragini's exposure makes me happy. Still I agree on the points you made. About Lakshya and his acceptance of every place he had done wrong I think we got what we could have expected from him.
In explanation this is the guy who immaturely broke his engagement with Ragini twice and was refusing to acknowledge the truth even when it was laid out in front of him, you can hardly expect him to go all guilty and repenting mode like Sanskaar who not to forget had enough wit left in his absolutely insane phase of revenge to see errors in his way. Not everyone has that strong head to except down right that you've been totally wrong like he did and accept whatever punishment is thrown in your way, you need to be a lot more mature than Lakshya for that. For what he was shown to be till now I guess him trying to point everything was somehow Ragini's fault was justified.
About Swara, I agree with you. The girl needs to take a brake and a deep breath, look around herself and realize what a mess she had created with Sanskaar in order to rectify her parents' mistakes. Before she tries to reunite another couple who are perfectly capable of taking that decision themselves I think she should settle her own matters in a satisfactory way.
Lakshaya should decide what he is going to do with Ragini, he is the only one with power to rectify what he had done and what he had turned her in to. I hope he will have sense to do that.
Ragini, should atleast now come out of her obsessive point of view and see the world has other things much important that Lakshya. it's high time.
I was going to write a short post, turned out to be longer than what I hoped for.

I don't think if people love VK so all the time he will be best only
His expression was almost like same all the time on yest episode ,even wen there was scene wen laksh was lukin towards swara ,his expression was just blank
I observes sumtimes his expression does not emote like wat ctually going on his mind
As he is an experienced actor but still he too lacks in so many scenes espec during emotional
And I agreed helly,Namish and Teju are newbies so they needs to worked more on their expressions
Teju was brilliant yest
Helly and Namish too were also good
But for me laksh was the star of yest episode
Watever he said was all correct
Everyone does mistakes but harming sumone intentially is more than hurting

I love how most of us here are in sync.😆(In our thoughts obviously)
I really felt like making a post on how hypocritical Lakshya was being after watching the episode.But got side tracked with that promo and ended up ranting about that!😡
Of course Ragini deserved everything she got yesterday but seriously, I believe that he has to be blamed for what happened with "swaRagini". Clearly he played with Ragini's feelings repeatedly as he himself confessed. What right does he have to blame Ragini for everything?
I did not like the fact that he actually compared Ragini with Sanskaar. You have no right you useless waste of space!
No realization what so ever about how he made Swara's life equally difficult by being the biggest example of what love without trust can do(If you can even call that love🤔). I cannot believe he actually stood there making gooey( eww, Namish seriously needs to up his acting abilities.. scary!🤢)eyes at his ex-lover/Bhabhi ji. Man was I pissed!

I really have to hurry to a meeting right now. Will edit and rant some more when I can get back to this.I'm not done talking about you Lakshya ji. Not yet!😵

Brilliant post Shruti! As always is the case, totally second you on every single point! 🤗
Okay, how disgusting is Lakshya? Like seriously he went on about what a horribly, vile, evil woman Ragini is but forgot all his own kaands? Fine Ragini 'manipulated' him but didn't he always malign Swara & call her a characterless woman on his own accord? & Why exactly did he do that? Yeah because of his own issues & maybe his insecurity seeing the budding relationship between his elder brother & his ex, with whom his brother is deeply in love with. Namish's acting doesn't help one bit, it is SO forced & animated that you end up laughing than feeling pity & sympathy for the character. Yesterday toh it was full on copying AB Sr in his 'anger' mode & SRK while making those pathetic goeey eyes at his Bhabhi (🤢) Oh how much I loved it when he acknowledged that Swara forcefully fell for him. Like Anna said, totally comparable to the guy you never noticed in school & your friend says he likes you, suddenly you notice him & outta obligation start liking him back. How immature is such love? No wonder it had no future. LMAO did Swara even genuinely feel for him?

& Oh yes, they need to stop using the yada yada hi dharmasya on any character. No it is not right. If anyone, the part of Krishna here IMO is totally enacted by Sanskaar. He is the Krishna to Swara's Arjun in this battle & yeah just for disclaimer sake, it's just a reference not a comparison whatsoever so please hold your horses offense takers. The creep is now going to ask for his bhabhi's hand again just the next day, the moment he was waiting for since days. Can Swara please slap him so tight, that it's sound rings for a full 5 minutes in my ears & his cheek turns as red as the brightest red himachal apple? No seriously or else I'll do the honors, I'd love to! Disgusting pathetic creep!
