If any reaffirmation was needed on how our shows ace at romanticising an abusive male lead then yesterday's episode could easily be taken as example.


I can't believe the makers still have the audacity to play slow romantic numbers on Abhimanyu even after showing how he mentally and emotionally harassed Geetanjali 😳 Lag ja gale in the scene in the bathroom felt so odd and out of place. Even 'Banjar hai' being played on Abhimanyu last week was so bizarre. He wasn't desparately searching for the woman he loves, he was simply searching for the woman who can help him roam about scott free.

Just to let the makers know playing such songs does not add any "romantic feels" to Abhimanyu and Geetanjali's scenes. It only makes the scenes feel absurd. I highly doubt any viewer enjoys such songs being played on them anymore

PS - I would really appreciate it if we refrain from discussing on this post that how Abhimanyu-Geetanjali are the "endgame" as Abhimanyu's character is going to be redeemed.

More than romanticising, they're trying to garner sympathy for Abhi - like trying to pin everything on his parents, and he was merely their puppet.

Playing romantic numbers at this point is absurd, I agree.

And even if Abhi saves Chamki or falls for her, how does it redeem what he did with Gitanjali?

And Gitu-RV revenge plan too seems absurd at times. The only people who seem to be suffering from Chamki's entry are Rishabh and Sevakram. Their reluctance to include Rishabh in the plan is unjustified. Especially, after Rishabh clearly told RV, he will use his own way to deal with the congirl Chamki.
That one scene was so impactful. Both Rishabh and RV came under the radar of suspicion. If Rishabh can cold-bloodedly give orders to kill a girl, he could be more guilty in Raginis case, than we thought.
And why didn't RV suspect Rishabh, when Chamki was attacked in the bathroom?

I dont think even they know what they want to do with Abhi..I think they tried to create a mysterious character but messed it all up...Even typical saas-bahu serials dont mess up lead characters this bad...
And yeah songs were so weird...I was like..What The...?? specially the 'banjar hai' song...what did they think they were doing? lag ja gale scene I can understand somehow...Geetu plans to make Abhi fall for chamki...nd its starting...but he was her true love so maybe geetu was weak in those moments...but still it was awkward...

And I dont understand RV-Geetu plan either...so Abhi suspects everyone and gets seperated just like Geetu did...then he loves her and she betrays him..but that's Abhi's punishment..what abt all the others...Rathore gang does not hv much emotional bonding anyway...she does not need to devide them..the r devided already...and Rishav and sevakram seem to be the only people suffering till now...

And yeah..why does Rv always hide things from everyone? didnot tell geetu full story of Rathore clan and now even after hearing Rishav is abt to do something to chamki, does not tell him the truth and does not suspect Rishav after bathroom incident...

And Rishav..if he is capable of cold bloodedly planning to kill chamki..maybe he was not so blameless abt Ragini..maybe he did leave her at the alter...I dont know...

And r we just supposed to forget Ragini now? when do we get that story? they dont even mention her anymore..I want Ragini story..

Totally. Such awful characterization. And yes, forget about being a grown ass man, not even being an Army man could help Abhimanyu grow a spine and speak for himself and for the woman he knows he unjustly wronged.


They have shown through many scenes that Rishabh truly loved Ragini. One of his monologues was about how he has made sacrifices to keep the honor of his family intact. Maybe he was blackmailed by his father because of which he could not fulfill his commitment to Ragini.


Rishabh in the very first episode too had a one-on-one with Abhimanyu, just that he left taking his life to chance. Even the fight scene after Geetu is sent to mental asylum, he could have shot Abhimanyu but he didn't. He has been shown as someone who in an impulse can harm another person but they never showed him cross the line. Yesterday they did :( Having lost the sister he loved so much, he wants justice for her anyhow. But Rishabh being turned to a murderer is something I can't handle 😭💔


I guess taking into consideration Rishabh's impulsiveness and anger issues, it wasn't entirely a bad idea to not include him in the plan. Also like Geetanjali said he wouldn't have allowed her to risk her life by trying to deceive people like Rathores.

Maybe Rajveer just didn't think that Rishabh would go to the extent of trying to kill someone.

On a side note, I liked how they finally gave atleast something interesting to Kavya. After ages she taunted her Mom and was all setto go out on a date with Rajveer on the pretext of helping her friend move on. Still they could have given her a lot more interesting role to play. I somehow feel Kavya and Choti Maa are going to change sides soon 😆

@Nikita I dont want choti ma to change sides..I want her to loose both sides and get punished..Abhi betrayed geetu after 2 years of courtship..but she raised the girl...geetu treated her like a mother...how can u harm a girl who has grown in front of u calling u ma like that...and that too for property...Atleast Rathores hv a family reason no matter how despicable they are...But Kavya shud totally change sides, change herself and get a second chance...
And abt Rishav..from the start we hv seen his dark side..anyone angers him, his answer is violence...all that stood btwn him and crossing the line was his love for geetu...she seems to be the only one he truly loves...now that she is dead to him...nothing to stop him from crossing that line...
and since she was not there when the Ragini thing happened..maybe he did do something bad in the name of family's rutba...

@bold Aww...I love how you put this! Very well written 👏 And so true.

I completely agree about Choti Maa. She is another character in the show that keeps oscillating. But all in all she's just a selfish woman. When it was for her selfish interest she had no issues taking Geetu's life. Then yesterday just to put down Bhairavi, Geetu became the innocent girl who bade log like Rathores wronged. Choti Maa did nothing after all 😆

Yes I would totally love for Kavya to get a second chance. I loved how her characterization was at the start. Dunno what's the obsession with showing step-mother and step-siblings as negative 🥱

Well put points by all of you...But I seriously wish Rishabh comes to know soon that she is his own sister and he too helps her out in this
I wanna see Abhimanyu, Chhoti Maa and those Rajputs😆...to be punished...😡

And Kavya definitely desrves a second chance😊

Regarding Ragini...I think they seem to have forgotten that she is the one for whom this entire revenge drama is going on for years😆😆
I too wanna know what exactly happened to her😕

RV and Geetu talking to each other in the haveli is also absurd...do they think no one would hear or see them😉😆

Well till now looks like no one sees them even when they r making plans in the haveli...😛in tv shows people do become blind nd deaf or sharp according to writers' wishes😆and yeah how ridiculous it is that the reason it all started is now forgotten and they r focused on geetu dancing around as chamki...

I agree with you @ Nikita. I think that song was played more for Geetu than Abhi when she was lost in the eyelock with him. She is still not over loving him despite his betrayal. Lets see what happens.
