Doing a comprehensive analysis of the last three episode along with today's: EP 179 aired on March 24th, EP 180 aired on March 25th and EP 181, aired on March 26th. 179 was a well-written and well executed episode but I maintain my disapproval for transitionary episodes and the last two episodes have not up to par. I think the day before yesterday's episode got through because of the romantic quotient, but otherwise TEI can do better.


The episodes have opened up a new track that will continue on, but isn't necessarily part of the current track that will end with Yuvi's revelation to the family and he and Anita teaming up once again.

Kunj and Twinkle have only yet understood the surface feelings they both possess for each other. They both realize that there is an endless depth to their feelings however how much more farther they both can go, and how much each other's presence and honestly means to both of them is now going to be explored. In EP 179, they both realized that they are finally on the same page and after getting to EP 180, they realized that the time has come to start exploring what there relationship holds for them, together.


EP 179:

The episode started out with Twinkle shushing Kunj up and making it known to him that maybe she when it comes to someone else important to her, she will not sacrifice her life but when it comes to him, she wouldn't think twice about her position because he is more important to her then her own life. Her asserting right over him, treating her own life as if it was nothing in front of his was what really shocked Kunj because although he does love her just as much, he can never imagine her give up everything they have just for his happiness or his well-being. While Twinkle's words carried the arrogance and pride in her love for Kunj, it also displayed how much more weaker state she is in now then she ever was with Yuvi. Putting your own life at stake is much more greater gamble and Twinkle while realizing, also doesn't realize that even if she tries to ever save Kunj by putting her own life at edge, she ultimately puts him in just as much danger because he can do the same for him. It's a double edged sword predicament where neither can be satisfied by their sacrifices because it hurts the other one just as much it protects them.

What I found fascinating was Kunj asking her "what is she saying" in desperation. He has upheld the role of "protector" since the moment they both met and he has always expected himself to be the one to uphold the role in future as well, instead of sharing it with Twinkle.

I really liked the initial moment because not only did they both confess to their feelings for each other but Kunj is not beginning to understand Twinkle's love for him. He has witnessed her love for the rest of family members and Yuvi but he's going to be surprised at every step from now on because the extent Twinkle can go for him with every problem that arises. Also both being in their natural element by bickering made the moment more intense as it shows the level of comfort and right they both assert over each other.

Handcuffs are put on forcibly and Kunj and Twinkle were forced into their marriage. While Twinkle accepted the union and the fact that in front of the world she is a Sarna, Kunj only stood by Twinkle when he felt morally obligated to stand by what is right. He has expressed openly how despite taking a liking to Twinkle; he doesn't approve of their marriage and only took interest in working on the marriage once he suspected Twinkle's growing feelings. >> Kunj was the one who talked about starting over and initiated the dating thing between the two but only because he realized that Twinkle's feelings for him have changed and she knows it too. The handcuff symbolized Kunj's frustration at being forced into a bond where both of them were not willing participants. He wants to make sure that every next step he takes with Twinkle, it is when both of them are on the same page. I will later elaborate on Twinkle's stance on the handcuffs because while they symbolized their forced marriage, they brought on an array of emotions and relations for Twinkle along with it.

Kunj's back towards Yuvi and Twinkle's front showed how like every time, Kunj will always be oblivious to the storm coming into their lives and Twinkle being aware of her past with each passing time would the one to hold on to their relationship. Kunj will also be the one to be always hesitant in taking any action against anything until he is fully aware of the circumstance. Twinkle making him come closer to him to trap Yuvi in his own game signified how later on when Yuvi pushes these two into isolation by targeting their relationship, Twinkle will use the strength she gets from her belief in Kunj to defeat Yuvi. Yuvi walks in and sits on a chair while Twinkle and Kunj are seated on the floor also played an important role in how circumstances will always push Kunj and Twinkle together even if there are wedges between them at the time or not; and Yuvraj, who despite his evil intentions possess a soft corner for Twinkle will be defeated in his plans not just because of Twinkle's belief in her love but because of his belief in the purity of Twinkle.

**Yuvraj references to Kunj as a loser when he tells her that he can rescue her from all the pain and agony she is with her current situation. The word "loser" holds a lot of significance because Yuvraj has grown up with the belief of being a winner. He has been taught as a child to be winner and to win in every field is what really gets respect whereas Twinkle gives respect to a person who doesn't drive behind ambition but drives behind determination and hard work.

Twinkle also mentioning to Kunj that he forgets how smart she is in his anger signified that despite their relationship building up, being restored in a natural state by the universe's blessings and their faith in each other growing, there will be times as such in future where the most vulnerable aspects of Kunj's lives would be attacked and in his anger he would forget that he does have Twinkle by his side who can help him through even the grittiest-situtaions.

The left hand signifies passivity, easily emotional and leaning towards justice whereas right hand signifies a assertive and dominant personality, more practical then acknowledged and giving personality where as left is a more receiving personality. The right hand signifies conscious actions based on the above mentioned characteristics where as left is more unconscious. > The reason for mentioning thus is that Kunj's right hand is bounded and Twinkle's left hand bounded by the handcuffs to each other. Once they both push Yuvraj out of the way and run, Twinkle's wants to choose the 'right' path whereas Kunj wants to choose 'left'. As much as practical Kunj can be, in situations where emotions run high, he is not able to confront the problems head on. The only way he deals with it is by being angry at the situation for not being in his control but with the marriage of both of them by familial force, these both have been learned to balance each other out. < Thus both taking the center pathway to escapebecause it strikes balance between both their qualities and what they bring to the relationship. Very sneaky buildup on characters! Moi likey!

A "Thorn" is considered a symbol of sin and Twinkle being struck by thorns while running away and defeating her past signified that the battles are still on-going. The war between Yuvi and Twinkle started not when there mother's took challenges against each other but when Yuvraj decided that Twinkle was going to be the girl he was going to marry regardless of his feelings of spite and revenge. Kunj takes out the thorn, signifying that he will be successful in his attempt to extricate Yuvraj out of Twinkle's life BUT in attempt of doing so he will fall as more weaker prey to Yuvraj then has as of now. Kunj has repeatedly witnessed Twinkle holding Yuvraj's and her relationship accountable for so many incidents and he has also seen her regret the only thing in her life is the lies she told to her mother for that relationship. The relationship continues to shadow her present with him as well whereas Kunj's relationship with Alisha doesn't hold as much importance because of her not hovering around Kunj and striking at every chance. In an attempt to remove the 'thorn' from Twinkle's life, Kunj drops his "wallet", a symbol of power and control as it provides safekeeping of most intimate valuables and a person's daily finances. As of this instance, Kunj's insecurity of losing Twinkle will increase as he realizes that the extent Yuvraj has gone over to get Twinkle and Twinkle is the only person to have the ability to choose between the two. It isn't going to help that when thrown into a stew of emotions, Kunj only confronts by raging and rage is only going to cause strain on his and twinkle's now growing relationship.

>> When I saw the confession promo, my main point of concern was the dagger. Instead of using arson or gun or rope, Yuvraj uses a knife to stab Kunj directly a his heart and the best guess I could make was the weapon of physical intimacy because the barrier needed to get the emotional and mental intimacy has been crosses with the EP 180. It's going to be interesting to see Kunj's insecurities come forefront because he only speaks when it is absolutely required for him to speak.


The next scene we have is with Leela and Bebe coming in to invite Mahi in for Holi. The pink and purple on both the ladies face symbolized the unconditional love both ladies shower on every person and the insight they are able to offer to the children of the house. Mahi in tough times that have accompanied her will be leaning on her mother more now and I really hope that we see Mahi and Leela develop a bond just as beautiful as Leela has with Twinkle.

If I am honest, I knew Mahi would attempt a suicide because her first attempt needed to be completed. She threatened suicide when Twinkle tried to get Yuvraj arrested for his kidnapping attempt on Tanejas and Sarnas and she was rescued by Yuvraj himself. However after watching the episode, I was sure of her not being able to go through because of her anxiety directing Mahi to walk towards the righteous path despite it's hurdles. Mahi appears as an intense character and I'm looking forward to more growth in her character if it is continued to be utilized properly.


Th next scene that follows is Twinkle pointing out a hut and upon her insistence, Kunj letting them into the hut. A "jhopdi" or slum house as it is addressed, symbolizes dissatisfaction of lifestyle because of the inconvenience the house presents itself with. Kunj and Twinkle's lives thus far are as inconvenient as they can be. They can't confess there love, they can't live together and there life has been overshadowed by one person's evil intentions. There relationship thus far has not brought them satisfaction. The fact they enter with handcuffs adjoining both of them signifies that there life only became as such after forceful union. A hammer signifies a masculine force that grants justice. Kunj has been the one to keep himself at bay without asking or expecting anything from Twinkle. Twinkle in midst of it all has tried to protect their relationship from any force, including Kunj, that may lead towards an end in her marriage. (after returning from their honeymoon, Twinkle said to Kunj that Yuvi sleeping with them and being with them could impact there marriage and he replied back that there is nothing between them behind closed doors so it's better to not fake it.) >> Twinkle asking Kunj to leave the handcuffs on reflects her reservations to heal their forced and broken marriage instead of restarting there journey.

28 (2+8=10) is a number that holds the attributes completion, duality and success. The number indicates success upon corporation of partners. Kunj's one liner about turning to page 28 of a girl's manual will help him understand Twinkle better indicates him telling Twinkle that he believes that their partnership if started anew could work and the one going on now, wouldn't. It is not that Twinkle is dependent on Kunj entirely but girls in our societies grow up with the identities of daughter and sister & they are told to adapt on to the identity of wife, mother, daughter-in-law etc. Kanji's request to uphold Twinkle's respect and individuality reflects on his past choices = Alisha, a career orientated girl he hopelessly fell for; and on him treating Twinkle as an equal partner in their relationship. She has a say in their relationship but the only terms he would accept her and there relationship is upon a new revival that is not based on forceful encounters but on equal footing.

Twinkle picking up the rice and turmeric powder from the ingredients that were present represented her wish to heal and provide fertility to their relationship however that is not possible without the presence of affection which Kunj provided by picking up the watermelon. Without love and affection, there relationship cannot progress without mutual understanding that comes from Love and affection. = Twinkle being unable to ignite fire to the pot of rice and turmeric powder. Watermelon also signifies fertility and productivity as rice does but it carries component of affection with it. Kunj feeding Twinkle signified how the relationship would now start to work as both care for each other equally instead of just Twinkle caring and fretting over.

Ishq Bulava in the background and the verses used in the scenario reflected on the rebirth of their relationship that is in progress until the wedding. Their love for each other has deepened and has rejuvenated itself with energy of understanding, faith and trust that has more way to go but has sprouted already which strengths their bond.


Yuvi leading the pack of people to search for Twinkle and Kunj signified how he is the one who has started the war with no interest from the opposition party. His strategy of divide and conquer will not be met with favor by anyone however despite the hurdles and the drowning light, he wouldn't stop in his quest.


The next three analysis are below. Keep scrolling.

EP 180:

The episode continued on with reflections of Kunj and Twinkle's relationship that began with this wedding track. I'm going to be brief with this episode because of it's scenes hitting on precise points instead of going all over the place.

This episode continued on with Yuvi looking for Twinkle and Kunj, eventually figuring out that both have ended up at the campsite/hut. As I mentioned above, the small un-cemented house represents "unsatisfied lifestyle" and Yuvi was aware of the fact of Kunj and Twinke's lifestyle since he had left because they both slept separately and maintained physical and emotional distance as much as they could to the best of their abilities. He entered back into their lives with calculated and measured steps to attack and separate Twinkle and Kunj for once and for all just as he did when he entered the hut; however what Yuvi did not expect was the change of emotions from both Kunj and Twinkle's side for each other and that there emotions will eventually overpower the forced shackles of there marriage but they will continue on their journey by giving it a fresh start and by accepting each other with their spiritually and mentally.

The next scene that follows through is Kunj and Twinkle running towards "Gangwa", Raja's village; as their ultimate destination. This scene was a deep reflection at Kunj and Twinkle's relationship as it represents that in midst of all the havoc and chaos, Kunj and Twinkle found space for themselves and decided to date each other and confessed their feelings to each other. The confession has happened but it has been left in the middle which is why in order to start a new, there would be a confession needed that explored the value of a partner in depth instead of just addressing what they've found in each other. >> Gangwa means the journey made through a storm in order to reach the coast. Kunj adopts and initiates "dating" between himself and Twinkle in order to figure out the pathway they need to take in their marriage but in doing so, he abandons the post of protector for him and Twinkle and leaves their relationship vulnerable to others (remember both sleeping with open doors). Kunj leading him and Twinkle towards the road and then speaking that he and her have to reach "Gangwa" reflected on the pathway he took for him and Twinkle in order to find the coast.

Twinkle following behind in the whole ordeal without questioning but asking to stop in the middle reflected on her blind trust in Kunj but her faltering steps because of her understanding that her past was still rushing behind them.


The episode progresses on with the action filled sequence and I don;t want to elaborate on that as much because it has been past and many of the things reflected are of no relevance to Kunj and Twinkle. However what stood out was Raja in pink shirt, signifying his unconditional love, being hung for being in love and pursuing those emotions. The person to hold the weapons in the whole ordeal are Sangram and Yuvraj, the warriors. Yuvraj, after Mrs. Amritsar competition understood that Kunj and Twinkle are getting closer however he still fails to understand the depth of their emotions and what they both mean for each other. The person hurt through the action sequence is Rajjo, a person who reflects love, naivety and innocence. She is also reflection of Twinkle as she was before her marriage with Kunj. > In the dating sequence, Kunj and Twinkle revert back to their personalities before their marriages however replacing their respective lovers with each other. Raja being hung reflected on Twinkle's "love" being in mortal danger and in order to save the person she has begun to love the most, she sacrifices herself (her being molested at the lodge in order to save Kunj from heartache) < this is put in action by Rajjo coming in between her and her father in order to safe the people she cherishes the most.

I feel like i've made it more completed by sub-merging the tracks as they've been but the point is that refection of Twinkle's sacrifice in order to save a man who stands in position of her father, Manohar along with Kunj, the person she has begun to cherish the most was reflected when Rajjo gets shot in her hand. Human body signifies its use by each part and a Hand symbolizes strength and protectiveness. By hurting the hand, a person is unable to protect themselves and strengthen themselves as hands allow you to pick up the weight of anything that can matter. Rajjo being hurt and getting fired at signified how Twinkle had fallen without Kunj by her side and with her being aware of the truth, she was unable to protect herself from extra blames that came her way as she did not have tools with herself to prove her innocence.

Reflections of the emotions that flowed before in TEI have always expressed on how the dynamics change once there is depth in emotions and relationships then the dynamics are when surface emotions emerge. Yuvi and Twinkle's relationship was a surface relationship with no depth but only investment of time and repetition of lies whereas Kunj and Twinkle's relationship is of depth where they've started exploring each other and what they both bring to the relationship and evolve on from there. About eight weeks ago when i started analyzing and watching this show, I was not a fan of reflections as it appeared redundant to me however now I've realized it's significance since there are going to be two confessions.


The scene in the hospital was really eye opening not just in terms of the story but also as what Twinkle said. In one of my beginning analysis I mentioned how Honor is literally the most important thing for us South-Asian folks. Our life satisfaction comes from not our happiness but from our honor and prestige in the society and it is not just limited to the rural areas, this thinking is prevalent in cities and among elite social circles. I loved how Twinkle mention that caring for happiness of children will bring them closer to you who you will need in your times of need, rather then separating them from yourself for the sake of the society.

The scene was reflective of how Kunj and Monohar's relationship would heal. Manohar had never expected any responsibility from Kunj because of his lack of appreciation for the decisions he takes. Manohar is different in from of the world, appearing progressive and liberal whereas his approach in the household matters, where it matters more is not up to par. In doing what he thinks is the best, Manohar has ignored Kunj's happiness and the source of the happiness. His marriage with Twinkle was also because of the "luck" Twinkle would bring instead of him actually trying to understand and see what is really special about Twinkle. He didn't appreciate Twinkle's efforts with his family and Kunj until she helped him and kept her word with the Purvi incident which ended up with Twinkle herself getting hurt and losing her source of strength, Kunj. Once Manohar wakes up from his coma, he would finally be able to reach out to his son in a way that does not concern materialistically.

Only after Kunj and his father are united as Rajjo is with her father, will Usha be able to forgive Twinkle and Kunj will be able to grant Twinkle the status of his wife in a rightful manner in front of the world as well as behind the closed doors of their room.


Kunj's acceptance of his mistake indicated his realization of his rash behaviors. Raita is made from yoghurt and yoghurt symbolizes the realization of change in attitude as it is made from milk, a pure substance that provides strength. Kunj's realization and his attempts to try to understand Twinkle more readily would start on from now as they both explore their relationship with each other. In every step of the way when Kunj scrambles, Twinkle will be the one to gather him up and help him realize his mistakes.


Before touching on the last part of the episode that was the wedding, I want to touch on Yuvraj's escape. Yuvi escapes overtime he commits a mistake in his plans but he returns back with a much more daring and worse strategy to wage a war against Twinkle. Yuvi also runs away without realizing that his mistake usually ends up strengthening the bond of Twinkle and Kunj; that if he stayed a bit longer he could;ve manipulated the situation and actually been successful but afraid of failure, he makes a dash for exit in order to come back and win bigger then before. Once again, Yuvi will be responsible for his own downfall.


Kunj walks out with the groom and Twinkle with the bride. Kunj's brown kurta was more pale in comparison to the one he wore at the rota which had a brighter look to it. Kunj is retuning back to his normal self and is able to untangle his emotions and thoughts. The brown symbolized his return to humility, his grounded actions coming back, his ability to provide for protection and stability while also requesting stability in response in order to survive. Brown is the color of earth. In the above post I mentioned Kunj's unconscious need to be cared for and to receive love and this color brings out the best of hidden traits of Kunj out.

Twinkle's green echoed her ability to provide nourishment and let their relationship prosper and flow by provinfing emotional stability and insight through the blue covering her in her dupatta along with the unconditional love reflected through the pink in her dupatta. The dupatta covers the body and the fact that the elements of love and stability will help provide for their relationship was wonderfully depicted through the clothes. It also showcased the rebirth of Twinkle and Kunj's relationship with both entering and filling up the empty cracks of their relationship together.

I loved the sequence of flashbacks. Kunj wiping off the tears off Twinkle and then the marriage scenes indicated the start of sealing of their relationship. Both coming forward to do the "gath bandan" displayed how both have adjoined their relationship by themselves this time instead of letting the family push them together. They will require the blessings of the family again but their promises to themselves and commitment with each other individually costs the most in order for them to be successful.

What stood out for me in the past few dialogues was Kunj vocalizing the distinct traits in both of them that help them work together. Twinkle needing butter chicken signified her need for support, her taking 2 hours in shower signified how she is able to adapt to strengthen herself though spiritual support where as Kunj, himself brings something else to their bond. His preference of food is Rajma Rice which signifies nourishment and grounded stability. His taking five minutes in shower expressed his personality resonating with free expression, individualistic ideals and practical approach in order to be successful.

I loved how both decided to confess their feelings at the same time as they did previously. This time it is not just fluttering of hearts but also realizing that there is no other way besides each other. The episode was well written but the execution needs more work in order to make a smooth transition. Not all transition episodes have romance to cover up the rush.


Next one, scroll down homies!

EP 181:


This episodes picks it's pace up from Twinkle and Kunj's banter. Kunj's wonderment is not at just Twinkle being able to talk forever but her her ability to stand up after falling and her ability to do so without any help and any one's hand with her. He is only now beginning to understand the predicament he left his wife in when his anger flared up. However Twinkle replies back in attempt to comfort him that since he has realized his mistake and has made attempts to understand her position, it will all be fine.

How so and when did they say that, you ask? Well, Twinkle refers to Kunj as a hero from 1940s. 1 indicates the eldership abilities and the decisions Kunj has made in past few days that resonates with his regret and guilt. The 9 signifies with conclusion of the guilt because of Kunj's changed perspective in the incidents. The 4 symbolizes the upcoming stability that will come into their life with beginnings on foundations of truth. The zero adds on the universal blessings, allowing Twinkle to finally forgive Kunj for not believing in her. 1+9+4+0=14 which adds on to 5 which allows Kunj a push from Twinkle to work on his faith and trust in her. As mentioned in previous posts of one, the faith and trust has only sprouted a bud once again in Kunj and Twinkle's life and bond. These two would have to work on it together to further intensify those blocks in their life.


The best thing I liked about the whole scene was Kunj and Twinkle being halfway inside the mandap. The mandap itself was in a circular shape instead of a traditional square, reflecting that Kunj and Twinkle have completed the circle they intended to complete when they started dating each other earlier. (refer to the EP analysis titled 'Full Circle'). Also their positions behind Raja and Rajjo indicated their re-marraige. Twinkle throwing the flower petals of marigold on Kunj symbolized her out-loud screaming yes to Kunj being her husband and allowing him to have a right of a husband in every sense.

The confession completed it's full circle as well with the next scene when both stand alone in the mandap and declare the vows that were spoken before in their weddings into their own words. The leading of Kunj while taking the pheras indicated his return to the position of protector of Twinkle in their relationship. The vow to keep each other happy, to provide for each other in every sense, to stand by each other in every time of need regardless of circumstance and to take each other's sorrow and happiness as their own sealed both of them in a new beginning of their relationship that has been founded on blocks of honesty, truth and genuine emotions.

There is a particular quote that I have read online that I think summarizes the confession perfectly:

"I was beginning to believe that very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together." - Lisa Kleypas


The confession of love was really so perfect and just as much intense it should be. Kunj had harbored feelings for Twinkle for more the quite a while. His admiration for her grew back the day she fainted while praying for 'his' family and heightening his protective instincts for her and allowing him to year for her affection. I loved the inclusion of 'beintehaa' from Kunj because it echoes his sentiments of yearning for her and his need for her till eternity. For Kunj, Twinkle has now become a priority alongside his family. Twinkle has become his everything and has gained a rightful status of his wife in every sense of the word which she did not had before. For Twinkle, she has devoted herself to Kunj in everyday she can from this day onward. She has verbally declared and provided consent to be part of this relationship. Twinkle's reason for existence has shifted towards Kunj. Her self-sacrificing and devotee character-trait will now come to life making Kunj realize that Twinkle will always be there for him. It will be surprising for him overtime the amount of lengths she will undergo to make sure he remains safe and is under her blanket of love.

The flashbacks of the gurdwara reminded of how they are intended to be together; the flashbacks of the date challenge dance brought out the underlying attraction between the two that existed alongside the chaos in their lives at the time and their anger at each other. The honeymoon hug reflected on how both of there feelings shifted significantly for each other and even in a forced union, they decided to embrace their marriage and accept each other as partners.

The playing of male Sajna Ve was so reflective on Kunj's emotions because he is a man of lesser words and his devotion to Twinkle has shifted significantly as well. I literally cannot put in words that how much Kunj is going to need and want Twinkle with him in every step and her absence or silence at any one of their beginning steps could throw him in a maze of insecurities because he is not considering himself worthy enough of her selfless sacrifices. The forehead kiss signifies the level of trust and affection one has for another, their feelings devoid of expectations because of being intense in themselves.


The episode later transitions into dialogue driven sequences that mark ends and allow new beginnings. Twinkle putting the cheque down in Manohar's feet signified her restoring the name of Manohar as per her promise.

Usha's presence upon seeing Twinkle being successful was quite important as she has not welcomed Twinkle with open arms till now but will do so as seen by the end of the episode. Usha does dislike Twinkle to an extent but her love for her family and her belief in th conservative values triumphs over her hatred. The person she values the most in her life is her family just like Kunj, and his happiness means a lot to her so her poisonous words stop as soon as Kunj declares with authority that he believes in Twinkle. She does not approve of Twinkle and doesn't bless her until after Manohar blesses her.

I think what was significant in the ordeal was Bebe pushing the buttons of Usha when she recognized that Manohar for the first time had given Kunj something that cannot be bought. Him blessing Kunj for being his son and for being there for him in his absence struck a chord with Usha that led her to a deep reflection of her actions. Any person that can unite her scrambling family is an angel for Usha. I just really wish that had developed the tension between Usha and Twinkle a bit more as the tension got lost in midst of the wedding track.


With Mahi, Twinkle will be the one to reach out to her but with the help of Kunj who will provoke Mahi to come to her sister.


Overall this episode didn't hold much weight in it and like I said, TEI is not smooth with transitions. I love the pace of things wrapping up though, and I love the introduction of next track.

EP 182:


Today's episode has transitioned into the new track and flipped the page on the last on Manohar's track. Two things however are remaining, Twinkle helping Mahi separate from Yuvraj and Yuvraj trying a last tactic on Twinkle and Kunj (the return of the old montage is a reminder for us) before shifting his focus away from Kunj and Twinkle in order to make Mahi realize the mistakes she has made by turning him into her enemy. This new track will explore the insecurities that Kunj and Twinkle have for their happiness and their new relationship.


The episode started with a new day and Kunj's idea of having the rasams done after marriage being put into action. The reason why this was a necessary part was because of a fresh start, Twinkle needs to be welcomed back into the family with acceptance of everyone in order to become a wife in Usha's eyes and a daughter-in-law in Kunj's eyes.

The family has gotten Kunj and Twinkle into bond but he losing of ring, a symbol of eternity in itself because of it's circular shape; signified how despite forcing both of these two in a bond without their approval, they've not guaranteed Kunj and Twinkle's partnership with each other as one that will be successful. For Kunj, Usha's approval is as very significant because of her being his mother in the first place. Just as Twinkle has support of her Mama, Mami and Parents for her love for Kunj and her decision to renew her relationship with him, Kunj needs support of not just his father and brother but also his mother in order to be able successfully include and induct Twinkle as part of his family. I loved how Usha came down with ring, signifying how her approval is now going to seal the deal.

The positioning of character's during the game signified the acceptance and love along with blessings of the entire family being showered on the couple that has restarted their life and given each other a chance from their own will. Usha on Twinkle's side and Leela on Kunj's side reflected on how both have submerged themselves into each others lives and families. Mama and Mami ji sitting opposite Kunj and Twinkle were a reflection of Kunj and Twinkle in their later years as both continue to bicker but their love remains alive for each other.

Despite Kunj winning, I loved how Usha said that the ring ultimately goes to Twinkle because that is extremely true. Even the power of being the one to allow the changes in their relationship, Kunj will hand the reigns over to Twinkle as she is the one who has to decide wether to stay with him till the end. The words from Usha made a lot of sense because she has been aware of Twinkle's stalky past before she herself was aware of it and she realizes unconsciously that Twinkle holds the true power to keep Kunj happy. It's a bitter-sweet aspect of their relationship.

The playing of 'London Thumakda' signified a successful union and the end to Kunj and Twinkle's wedding.


Kunj pulling Twinkle aside before the rasam was such an adorable scene. I loved how Kunj said that he has been desperate for quite a while and he needs a kiss. His words reflected his acknowledgment of his feelings for Twinkle that have developed over quite a while. His mimicking Twinkle's shy expressions was funny as he does not expect Twinkle to shy away being a witness to her bold persona and seeing her vocalizing her feelings before without hesitation and using her right as a wife. Twinkle's peach dress and the her stuffing the ladoo in Kunj's mouth symbolized her healing hers and Kunj's relationship for the time they lost together while being together yet not actually being together. Twinkle's past still overshadows them in their faces in one way or another if not directly and Twinkle realizes that aspect. Ladoo symbolizes material wealth and the ability to escape danger through preserving of faith and happiness. Kunj eating the sweet signified him understanding Twinkle's decisions in the future and while not entirely approving of her decisions, he will stand by her.

The escape of Kunj and Twinkle in order to quench themselves away from the family to drink was another beautifully executed scene. Cold refreshments such as soda/soft-drinks symbolize good news where as drinking alcohol along with something sweet signifies increasing insecurities. Twinkle's insecurity to not be pleasing enough for Kunj is already visible when she questions herself in the mirror and tries to ask herself and teach herself how to kiss. I mentioned before that Yuvi will strike once more before adding Mahi to the group of people he wants to destroy to get back at Twinkle; and the insecurities of not being able to contain their happiness are surfacing now between Kunj and Twinkle. >> Nose as part of the face signifies the ability to recognize change before it arrives because of it's sense to smell. Twinkle's insecurities in not being able to physically pleasing to Kunj are going to come out and in order for her to overcome her past successfully and belief in her abilities, Kunj will be the one to woo her and return her her self-confidence. However in midst of Kunj's attempts to be romantic with his wife, Yuvi will take advantage of his stance to manipulate him against Twinkle's past.


Hai teri Meherbani plays after the both decide that noses (changing weather, yesterday's storm when Yuvi stood outside) , is coming for them. The song echo Kunj's sentiments. Kunj's life wasn't the best when Twinkle stepped in it. He only had a good relationship with his brother and mother. He had been part-broken, he had dropped out of MBA program and had a strained relationship with his father. His flaws got the best of him throughout even when he intended for the best to happen. With Twinkle coming in, few things of his life have started piecing themselves together and even without wanting, he had let himself to be led by Twinkle and allowed her to bring out the best of him. The song echoes how he, Kunj is grateful to her for choosing him and that he believes in her love for him even when she herself falters because she has always led him to be able to live as freely according to his ideals as much as he can. It also reminds her that while he is grateful for her to be in his life, she has also openly chosen him as the person whom she comes to after every kind of journey she takes because she herself has devoted herself to him. I think it echoes very beautifully the next steps that are to come before the consummation.


Yuvi's return in the house broke the bubble these two have created around themselves but despite his attempts, Yuvi will not be able to break them apart. Kunj has repeatedly tried to throw Yuvraj out but he won't be able to do so until the Tanejas unite with every war the Luthras wage against them since it has been the Tanejas who have brought this chaos along with them. Yuvi's exit has been possible because of Mahi's quite guilt eating her up and Twinkle's determination o not let this man play with her family any longer through her or her sister. This is not the end of Yuvraj though. He had Mahi under his thumb and realizing that she won't be allowing him any right that she originally did will have an adverse effect of Yuvi's ego who is used to get whatever he wants. It'll not be the first time a pawn has turned itself against Yuvi. Kunj suffers from the same predicament as Mahi will now on and both will be bearing the burnt of Yuvi's anger in order to protect Twinkle.


I think today's episode was a really good transition into the next track. Please leave your thoughts!

Episode 179:
Areeba literally you never fail to amaze me yaar! Agreed, it's a mutual complaint amongst forum members that TEI just fails with transitions like we could've see a bye bye from Hissar, then coming home, Twinkle entering her bedroom again and all ya know?

I was getting feels that Anita was gonna return, cause now Yuvi is losing Mahi so he needs help and who better to turn to than his mommy dearest? Agreed about Twinj, they are finally becoming vocal about their feelings in that they are realizing how much they truly care for one another.

Did I tell you how much I loved when Twinkle shush him up? I was so proud because she was only acting out of her love and he was being his passive aggressive self! Kunj has always been shocked at Twinkle's immense self sacrificing nature for those she loves so him being taken aback at the force of her concern for him really was apt. Interesting take you have there and it fits! Twinkle's belief is that love is pain and because of her passionate love for Kunj, she is so vulnerable. She said love can leave your life but pain cannot, damn man so deep. "It's a double edged sword predicament where neither can be satisfied by their sacrifices because it hurts the other one just as much it protects them." -SOOO beautifully said Areeba!

He did seem so desperate and tired when asking her what she means because you're right he's always protected so to have that same treatment for himself is something new! Omg @ your explanation of the handcuffs because yes Kunj's feeling exactly! Omg could not agree more on everything you said about Yuvi and the importance about the word loser. I too noticed how they took the center pathway cause it balances them haha it was awesome!

Stop being so brilliant. Your entire explanation of the thorn and it's significance for Twinke was amazing! Okay this post is too good lmao and I want to comment more but my phone is dying and I needa charge it for school yuckie so I will resume from here tomorrow! Just know you're amazing okey?

I will be back tomorrow 😎

I was missing your posts so LOVED this raining of your words 👏 TILL Now CVs are handling the Mahi issue very realistically let's see what is their next move, I am really looking forward to the upcoming overflow of Kunj's emotions... His romantic self, desperation & insecurities are going to be worth watching for sure 😉 I know this is the shortest comment on the longest post sorry for that 😛 😆

with Mahi, sgell defibitely end up need saving because of her overpowering love for Yuvi and her inner guilt thats not allowing her to speak up. i am looking forward to how kunj reacts to Twinkle's involvement because unlike last time, this time he has a husband wala relationship with Twinkle.
