Cliched romance - At the rate this is going I'm going to be leaving this show tomorrow. Ranvir falling for Aanchal? Puhlease. That's just not happening. And especially not so soon. So CVs can you please stop this so soon into the show and actually concentrate on building up to the romance at the right time? I'm not against romance. I'm just against it being so soon into the show especially with a character like Ranvir who looks at everything in terms of pros and cons, profits and losses.

Aman - Aman is a smart lad, but he's also got the same stereotypes in mind that Mrs. Srivastava and Aanchal had. Aanchal is wrong to trust the Raichands so soon, though I do feel she's got some plan in mind for doing all this (as evident from the precap). At the same time I also feel Aman is smart, but missing a key point. Aanchal is going with Ranvir and the ones to hurt them are Sarika and Kabir. But would Ranvir let anything happen to them so soon into the game? If you think about it, Ranvir stopped the stones, took away the defamation case, and is working on keeping Sarika and Kabir calm. So while Aman is right to suspect the Raichands, he needs to suspect the right Raichands for it right now. Not all of them.

Ranvir's tiffin - Call me crazy, but I felt this was good planning on Ranvir's part again. He had a tiffin ready so that he could appear relatable to Aanchal and come closer to her as well: Pull aside the rich background and I'm just like you. It's smart, but I also feel it's foreshadowing because Ranvir takes a bite of the food that Aanchal brings and reacts. It seems to say that in the process of trying to bring Aanchal closer to him, he'll also suffer setbacks, but minor ones.

Dharamchand's death - In a way the media is right. But it also leaves a second dilemma in viewers' minds. If one of the Raichands was actually involved with Meenu's rape and murder, then they found a scapegoat, fabricated the proof, probably paid him enough to accept the crime, and then got rid of him so that he would never open his mouth. On the other hand, if the Raichands are not behind this, then by killing Dharamchand, the mastermind behind this can leave the case until the time he/she wants to trap the Raichands in it by fabricating evidence. I also found it symbolic as it was shown while Ranvir questioned Aanchal and she deftly pushed it back to him. It kind of foreshadowed that not everything is as simple with Aanchal as it seems.

Aanchal's stupidity - For a character that is supposed to have come in the top 5 in all law colleges, Aanchal is missing quite a few warning signs. (1) Ranvir knows what Aanchal thinks before she does. Case in point the coffee mug from yesterday as a sign of accepting the job offer. (2) He's appearing very relatable. After appearing so aloof, how can someone suddenly appear so relatable? (3) He's involving her in the business too quickly. Like seriously? Anyone, even if they were the coveted hire, is brought in slowly. Not thrown into a project so quickly. (4) He's created an "enemy" to please her. I stand by what I said yesterday. Gaurav is a villain, but I have a feeling Ranvir is doing a lot of this to save Gaurav. (5) Too much of a free hand. After being accused by someone, wouldn't Ranvir have been more careful even if he did offer Aanchal a job? Can she be so stupid as to not think about that? (6) Even after being relatable, he's showing off his wealth. He takes her to Mauritius in a private plane, takes her to his mansion there, and even gives her such an exquisite room to show off his wealth. And she falls for it like anyone would on being treated like royalty suddenly.

Kabir and Sarika - Today we got a glimpse into another relationship. So far we've seen Sarika pulling the strings and Kabir reporting to Sarika on finishing certain tasks. But now it seems it's actually the other way around. Sarika is more of a tantrum queen who wants only the best for Ranvir and it's up to Kabir to make things happen. I loved the way he calmed Sarika down in a twisted way, but still didn't let Sarika know of his plan just what the outcome would be.

Precap - I'm mixed on the precap. It might be real. He'll try to kill Aanchal, but actually leave her to take the fall for a bad deal, thus ruining her (Aanchal's stupidity all over again). This might lead to the real plot of the show of revenge and getting a "haq". On the other hand, it might be Aanchal's dream. She'll wake up and realize that she was wrong about Ranvir all along. I guess let's wait and see because both seem like the obvious answer.

I personally do not feel Ranvir is directly involved in Meenu's rape or murder. He probably knows who it is, but protecting them. Maybe to save the family's honour.
He simply tells her what she wants to hear.
It could even have been Gaurav. Both of them were after all working in the same office.


Posted this in the yesterday's episode discussion . But thought it fits here better 😆

Hi Meera. Yep Shreya.

Actually with any Sony show sometimes precaps are actually what they are and sometimes they are a dream. Given this show is a finite series, the "haq" part hasn't really been introduced, and the show is moving at a really fast pace right now, it could be real.



@ PremKarpo: What is your real name btw or what should I call you? 😆

It could be. Or it could be an attempt to confuse Aanchal even more. He accepts it and then a few seconds later bursts out laughing saying he knows she's suspicious so he thought why not accept it.

I don't think Ranvir is anyway falling for Aanchal!!!!

The tiffin was pre-planned yes!!!!

The private jet is most probably his normal mode of transport so I don't think that was a show off!!!!

Telling her to get used to his villa was definitely trying to get her to feel at home!!!

I don't think that Ranvir is in love...he might fall in love later but not right now.He has something in mind for Anchal...he might want to teach Anchal a lesson or use her as a scapegoat for something.
Even Anchal is not so stupid...she is there for a reason in my opinion...Her dialogue caught my attention, 'Ranvir ne mujhe nahi balki maine Ranvir ko dhoondha hai'


I think Ranvir will tell Anchal that he was kidding and her drowning might turn out to be a dream...Let's see

I liked AnVir scenes. 😃

Unreserved

Hehe, take a chill pill please and dont leave the show yet 😆. Me thinks, the cvs are trying to please 2 sets of audience, folks like us and the instant romance seekers. After all they need to find the balance to sell the show. They are giving us the cliched slip and fall moments but not letting the mystery go.
I felt nothing had changed. Aanchal is suspicious of Ranveer and has come after him. Ranveer is totally checking out Aanchal's history, so if it is anything to do with her Father he would know... wont he? Could it be something to do with what Ranveer did to her boyfriend? Is Ranveer attracted to Aanchal? Maybe yes Maybe no.. is he in love with her? Hell NO!! Both are scheming. This is a game.

I liked what you wrote about Ranveer's tiffin... interesting interpretation!
Aanchal's stupidity...
1 Did you think Ranveer knew? I thought his expression changed to anger when he saw her walking away. He promised to accept her choice but he was pretty angry when she was walking away!!
2 Is he appearing relatable or acting relatable?
3 4&5 Lol... chalk it down to creative liberties... In which show does a murder trial gets over in a day 😆😆 even for VVIPs.
I think Ranveer is a greater villain Gaurav is the cliched normal serial villain. Aanchal is the FL... so only she gets to stay in the villa its both suspense and rights all in one hehe. Another creative liberty.

Sarika seems to want to have her way with Ranveer. Sarika and Kabir are so similar. Both have destruction in their mind. Can they be constructive?. On the symbolism side Aanchal enters the house when Sheeba talks about Ranveeer's good times and God. Its like she is good for him!!! Kabir Kabir... what does mamma what from Kabir? Felt like yesterday's episode was a build up for today.

If tomorrows precap is not a dream then its going to be Ranveer playing a prank on Aanchal... a supposedly sinister prank that is both a warning and threat. Given that Meenu's case is getting complicated lets wait and watch.

Note: Just happened to watch the previous episode again and the painting scene in particular. There are a lot of paintings and all show a poor lonely boy fending for himself on the streets. Looks like the Raichands rescued him and he became Ranveer. He is the good boy in front of them and his real nature is hidden from them.

This Gaurav guy sure looks like a villain. He could be the one who actually raped Meenu but Ranvir doesn't seem to be the self sacrificing types. Why go to jail for him? He could have protected Gaurav in many other ways. And why would Meenu take Ranvir's name if Gaurav is the rapist? Unless it is some kind of a twisted plot. Someone plotting against Ranveer trying to bring him down and Meenu was the tool. She was asked to take his name and frame him. Or this Gaurav actually a raped her and threatened her to take Ranvir's name.
