The writers are not at all bothered in moving Abhigaya life forward, they are hell bent on always separating them. They must have forgotten the title of the story as Kumkum bhagya. Is the bhagya so bad that Abhigaya cannot live happily even for one month. Or the director nitin and the writers must be against love and union. It is very well obvious that they have no new story line at all and will not create one also if given the chance.



This is pretty much why I doubt their love story. Usually when 2 people are in love, nothing can keep them apart. So in reverse, if they're apart all the time, I question their love.😆

I guess they sort of want to comply with viewers request to omit Tanu in Abhi's life...but don't have any ideas how to put in another actress or actor to play villain in Abhigya's life. So, yeah...just put additonal work for Sriti to play Munni. The same paycheck right ? Haha...In other words just milking in more in Tisha's chemistry. 😉



Hope it's not the same paycheck, Huts! I hope Sriti's contract is re-negotiated. If not twice, there has to be an increase. Not sure what tv standards are though.😊

There are three glaringly visible things that can be observed from KKB episodes of last two months:

  1. KKB crew could have been worried that they can't show Taaliya in MM in as-is state once Abhi after regaining his full memory is back in Mumbai. Especially they can't make Tanu live out of Abhi's house. Since they are obsessed to retain Tanu with full freedom roaming around Abhi & his family, living out of his money and dominating over Mehra inmates, still plotting to become his wife and capture his wealth..they had to create a lame excuse.
  2. They wanted to re-start pending plot of Aliya-Purab alliance which can only be done if Aliya pretends to have changed using Munni as a pawn and back in MM to emotionally pressurize her bhai. (Expected this plot in story line to take off during ML track itself but it didn't as Tanu's pre-wedding cum final mandap functions dominated entire track). 😳
  3. Anil Nagpal (whom Ekta entrusted primary responsibility to handle KKB story) and few other seniors of KKB got busy with KDB which consumed good amount of time & energy being a new show, so they could have felt its easy to manage with some fillers in KKB till they get breathing time from KDB to give some focus back to KKB script & execution. Now they probably didn't have any other ready made tracks & plots immediately for separating Abhigya for a longer duration, once Abhi's memory returned. 😒

So above key items are what writers/cvs seem to have achieved in two months as per what's visible to viewers from this Munni-Taaliya track by keeping original main lead Pragya hidden away from Mumbai or rather shown as dead to viewers for few weeks. 🤔


Don't think they have done anything to comply to viewers or Abhigya fans requests to punish evil ones either within or outside law or to start Abhigya marital life story in real sense after 3 years of marriage or to keep over stagnated and redundant Tanu away from Abhi & Mehra's or from MM.



They blindly assumed that some section of KKB audience may continue to watch out of curiosity to know whether its Munni or original Pragya that's joined with Taaliya and another habituated section will anyhow watch whatever junk gets telecast at 9pm. And they have thought Tisha fans can be pacified since Sriti & Shabir still get shown on screen. Another assumption they had is that rural audience may start liking village dialect, style and mannerisms of new character, so even if urban TRP's fall they could have been confident to cover up overall TRP's using rural ratings. So village makeover was used to fill up for lack of any engaging content as temporary eye wash and their other intent was also to drag for few months and give a sudden shocking twist to viewers that Munni living in MM is original Pragya herself.. Here's where they went wrong with scripting, execution and assumptions gone wrong. 👎🏼


PS. There was no need of any Munni's role for running Haryana don-Dishrab-Aliya wedding track which writers/cvs could have still comfortably executed even after showing Pragya away from Abhi.


Bold - not sure about this. Because they spent time creating Munni Munni character, dialog, and scenes. So some amount of effort has gone in here, only in the wrong place so to speak. Not sure what the end game is for Munni. Will she unite abhigya? Will she get taaliya behind bars? I'm sure she's not going to get Abhi. So her character may be more self sacrificing than Pragya's. Let's see.

Have been recently told by some Balaji shows regular watchers that Munni's character traits, styling, background, mannerisms, dialect, one liners etc. including village belly look alike plot line was picked from some old Balaji TV shows and not a completely newly worked out theme...won't be surprised if same writers had worked earlier even on those old shows.. 😊

Also Disha-Purab's Haryana track, her family & villagers suspecting her character after she was forced to spend a night away from home, her would be in laws breaking marriage alliance, and the stranger with whom she spent a night having to marry her to save her honor - this plot line was picked from a hindi movie, though Sangram Singh's exaggerated violent behavior with his goons was an add on. 😳And entire Purab-Bulbul-Aliya-Neel plot line is getting recycled with Purab-Disha-Aliya-Sangram.


Now recent dialogues in the show indicate writers/cvs want to reprise Sita aur Gita movie plot line in a reverse way..


The way episode to episode, week on week abrupt changes are being made also indicates lack of proper focus and efforts..In the past, every year KKB writers had this habit of bringing out one properly worked out major track twisting story line and then they kept on adding multiple sub tracks to drag the duration of the major track. But right from Jul there isn't proper clarity what's the major track that'll be running in KKB..so till a proper track gets established most of the scenes/episodes even till date are looking like fillers..😛

It's a total mess now. No need for 2 Pragyas. At least if both did not know about each other and taaliya blackmailing with the kids, it would have been bearable. Now it's ridiculously stupid.

I don't think writers know what they want Pragya and Munni to do. Looking at all this, not killing Pragya and adding Munni as a separate character would have been better.

So what is Munni's role???😕 No role. She's just a prop now.

Writers/cvs/makers still don't know or don't have enough time to decide what to do with KKB and Abhigya story, or what to do with Munni, period. They are tossing, flipping and turning around jumbling up KKB episodes and scenes every day without proper focus...😛


Now recently few media houses have started analyzing again KKB's position on TRP charts and the popularity and attention it grabs..

Below piece is published in one such article..(not from those gossip portals)

Pragya or no Pragya, Abhi or no Abhi, mostly it's Shabir Ahluwalia and Sriti Jha's presence and fan following, their onscreen chemistry that makes Kumkumbhagya go on for years. No matter how many impossible or unrealistic or repetitive plot twists the show takes, viewers always make sure it is still in the top shows list, even if TRPs dwindle for a while..


Here's another post by another publication..much more detailed analysis linking with KDB


For many weeks after Pragya was shown shot 'dead', and her lookalike Munni was brought in to the scene, the ratings of Kumkum Bhagya had started witnessing a massive dip. In Pragya's absence and during back burner of Abhigya romance, her new sisters Preeta and Srishti tried wooing the audiences with a fresh story in a new show called Kundali Bhagya, basically a spin-off series of Kumkum Bhagya that started airing on Zee.


However, the ratings of the popular parent Zee TV show have seen a marked improvement for the last couple of weeks, after Pragya was shown to be alive.


The Kumkum Bhagya story line had shifted its focus to the love story of Purab and Disha in Pragya's absence, and about Tanu and Aliya's plotting's to fool Abhi using Munni but that didn't work well for the show. Besides, fans wanted their Fuggi back and made sure that it trended on social media. All this resulted in Pragya's return from the dead and the show's miraculous revival. Now where will show go from now on after Pragya comes to know about Munni's truth?
