I have been cribbing to Box and mildly hinting here too that I worry for Meera because Desi Tv never does quirky FLs well. Caricaturish , random and petulant with no nuance whatsoever.

Yesterday wash horrible, i skimmed first and just didn't get what was happening then I sat down after your take about it and saw it again.Horrible.

I don't know why was Meera leaving so suddenly , the reason..there was hardly any context to her emotion. No anger, no worry about Amar , no reaction wrt to her family or even one moment of sanity. Her random dancing made no sense and I had no clue why suddenly Pant Cousins were manaoing her. This is her big allergy to peanuts?

I cannot stand slapstick comedy either, those SRK poses were just bad. I mean, why will Meera make Abhi do that. I get she is whimsical, flighty but that was as random as it gets. Made a joke out of her whole arc and character.

Then I was hoping for the scene with Rohan, yaar, like that be the highlight ..but did that scene made sense..matlab tha kya woh?

Party- Rich kid sends cake and party things and all is happy. You see my problem, what will Meera's impression be without the money and how will she be able to sustain without it. practical things hai..but sometimes.

Also, I know her family is not as loud as Pants but they were considerate to her, listen to her and are fond of her all the time. But suddenly what was that b'day party thing..umm, I felt they went overboard there. It wasn't suppose to play like that.

Ramnath ka toh, I don't even so many emotional pathos and such a silly resolution.

Meh.

@AY- I have no idea. I think either we are just too over the stupidity of desi tv and our tolerance is just gone. But that SRk pose, the stupidity of editors ..I mean, nothing made sense. So early in a show that had so much potential.

^^It seemed like scenes got chopped off or something. I don't know how the start of the episode or the party scene came up. But then nothing explains the random comparison of Pants and Raizadas'. It's so jarring what they are trying to do by drawing that parallel and putting the other down when the audience has seen the ugly side of Pants' too. No family is perfect. But suddenly making them seem so distant when this family overlooked Meera flunking twice, agreeing to her whimsical ways, checking on her , her sister constantly worrying..matlab, kya?

Exactly this! That one time was ok, but if this is going to be their norm of comparing the two families, then it ain't gonna work so well. The beginning episodes portrayed the contrast of two families in a better...subtle way. Why is there a need to garishly blow the contrasts in our faces?!

The episode yesterday was off on many levels, so much so, that I was wondering whether I'm watching the same show😳.

Anu, I guess our speculation on Namita's ability to portray different shades /nuances of her character is coming through. Granted that this show's supposed to have a "light-hearted" tone but it wouldn't make sense to just rely on Abhishek to bring about the emotional aspect of their "story" while Meera's character just goes about galloping merrily.

@Nymeria- Is it me only who felt Namita was fading alot yesterday, she was dull and off, I get she doesn't have writing but certain scenes were totally blank..she doesn't hold the expression for long, or I dunno..something majorly was off with Meera.
