All I am saying is, from what I have read so far, this is all within character and expected.

I have seen the episode and segments and I totally agree with your observations, DQ! As blatant as what they are trying to do to Kuhu is, I still don't buy into the writers' agenda. They keep trying to tell me that things that make perfect sense to me are irrational, and that characters I find relateable and interesting are worthy only of my disdain and judgment. Sorry, that's just not how I consume fiction. So with a giant disclaimer that my reading is pretty radical, and may not resonate with everyone (which is totally fine), here's are some thoughts on where we stand.

I have always had a sneaking suspicion that the Kuku story (the parts that are separate from the main plot, anyway) is delegated to someone who takes it as a challenge -- in whatever little time they are given, they manage to create these scenes that have so much depth. When Kunal served Kuhu the divorce papers, that shot where his face is reflected in their wedding photo while he looks up at the picture of him and Abir was absolutely stunning! To me, it seemed like someone was given the challenge of capturing Kunal's conflict in twenty seconds or less and they actually pulled it off!

Ever since then, that photo frame has been used as an ongoing motif to register Kunal's evolving feelings about Kuhu and the marriage. That's not an accident -- it's an extremely clever use of visual markers to indicate a character's feelings when you don't have the luxury of communicating them through dialogue. Those little touches, the subtlety in a sea of spectacle, melodrama, and saazish is what keeps me hooked to this couple, despite the fact that, as a whole, this is so not the kind of show I normally watch or write about. Add to this the skill and nuance Ritvik and Kaveri bring to their roles and you have the almost accidental magic that is Kuku.

So though I agree that the episode was rushed and choppy yesterday, and that the writers are forcefully dragging us further and further into one specific reading of the show and characters, for me, those little moments prevailed (for now). For example, I loved that bit when Kuhu and Kunal just look at each other across the terrace. She wasn't trying to hide her tears, nor he his worry; they were emotionally connected in that moment but there was that physical distance between them -- the moment Kunal stepped forward to bridge that distance, family once again popped up and demanded to be dealt with. Isn't that the story of their whole relationship? Kuhu quickly turned around, wiped her tears, and put her put-together mask back on. Kunal got see those transitions play out and it forced him to take charge of the situation. I also loved that Abir wasn't there because it gave Kunal a chance to say what he felt his way.

You all know in intimate detail by now how I feel about Varsha and Kuhu's relationship. If Kuhu wanted this marriage to work for anyone, it was for her mom even more than herself, so I found it absolutely beautiful that Kunal's first confession of love was in front of the whole family and directed at Varsha. ❤️

Okay, here's the first thing that will probably be contentious: I loved the Kuhu/Meenu scene. It's so telling that Nanu runs to Meenu for major problem solving but she somehow becomes very inconvenient when everything is going well. I'm totally with Nanu calling Meenu out on her kaands, but for god's sake, have some consistency! Don't enable Abir to rebel and then turn around and expect Meenu to sort everything out when crap hits the fan. Sorry, tangent. 😆 Anyway, I found what Meenu said to Kuhu very powerful.

She saw that Kuhu was terrified about a repeat telecast of Maheshwari household in RVS and told her this: 'Kunal pretended to love you and married you because I forced him to (implied: because I wanted to break both you sisters and your family), BUT with all the odds stacked against you, you chose to love, and work towards the happiness of, this family and you earned your rightful place, you earned my trust. I *see* what you achieved, and I ask, when you could face that challenge and fight so hard to earn those rights, don't back down when it comes to defending them. I am with you.' Meenu validated Kuhu's struggle which lately she has been feeling meant very little to anyone.

Almost the entire fandom agreed that what Mishti did in taking those papers from Kuhu's cupboard after repeatedly being asked not to was a gross violation of privacy. Yet, nobody in the family (except Jasmeet, who's made out to look petty) called her out on it because Kuhu's problem became the focus. Kuhu knew this would be the reaction, she knew that nobody would respect her right to her own decisions about this marriage/divorce so she hid it in order to proceed with the least drama possible. Heck, she even planned the whole Mishbir wedding without making a peep. If that doesn't prove her commitment to no-drama, I don't know what does. ALL she asked for in return was her privacy and Mishti basically showed her that she wasn't even allowed that.

For Kuhu, this was a harrowing glimpse of the rest of her life -- Mishti dragging her dirty laundry in public in the name of "helping" her, drama drama drama, Mishti cries about her pure intentions, "wow, Kuhu is so petty and childish," and the cycle repeats. I think Kuhu has finally reached the point where she's like, "oh you wanna see petty and childish? I'll show you petty and childish," and if I'm being totally honest, I'm kinda okay with that. 😈 If the writers were more interested in fleshing out all the characters, they could have shown explicitly what they have hinted at -- that Mishti *is* intimidated (again, the word jealous is not the right one) by how well Kuhu has done as a bahu. This could be so interesting with her character's backstory, as someone who has craved a family she could call her own but is entering a household where her presence has caused a major rift. Instead, by making it a "preposterous" claim coming from a distraught Kuhu, and by having Abir negate any hint of introspection on Mishti's part, they once again succeeded in polarising and flattening the story.

I shall stop now because this has gotten very, very long. If you read this far, thanks for bearing with me! My hope is that this wedding is kind of nice for Kuku and with that closure, I can retire from the show and live in headcanon-land, maybe catching a romantic scene here and there.

I think I might have cried a tear or two. Your writing is so poised and thoughtful! I don't even know how you're able to see so much in so little. You have so much of talent! After reading this, I went back to watch the episode and rethink how I felt about it. I think I ended up getting way too caught up in the petty details of Kuhu's seemingly superficial dialogues, obviously written and framed in a certain way to make her look immature just to create controversy and drama. But after reading your analysis, I can definitely see the depth, whether the writers intended it or not. While I saw Kunal's confession as half-baked and shallow, you chose to see it in a way that touched my heart. Now, when I watch that same scene, I can totally see how that may have served to be much more impactful than Kunal confessing to Kuhu directly.

I started watching this show because of Shaheer, to be honest. I loved KRPKAB and I was excited to see him in a different role. Plus, I loved the initial concept of "Kyun Jhatpat Shaadi?" But I actually ended up staying for Ritvik and Kaveri. These two create absolute magic together. If it had been anyone else, I don't know if I would have fallen in love with Kuhu and Kunal like I have now. I now only watch the show for their story's progression, not Mishti and Abir's. Reading an analysis like yours really has me thinking about how much I have grown to love Kuhu and Kunal like my own. And no matter what happens, I think I will always love the two of them.

@Sam:

Okay I think I have lost the ability to speak/think! WOW!👏

I was so pissed at the surface level drama and disappointed at certain things that I hadn't noticed the magical moments.

Your perspective is always eye-opening. I'm forced to re think what I've watched (now that I've watched the episode properly).

Your take on the Kuhu-Meenu scene is brilliant.

_ _ _

Kuhu was right in that finally when she had little hope left she wanted to tell her family. She was just waiting for the right time but there was always some drama going on. And if she said anything then, she would be labelled as immature and attention-seeking.

Also, the fact that Mishti releaved herself of the responsibility of everything that happened with her 'I didn't mean to' annoyed me so much. Once again she was patronising Kuhu with her commentary about how Kuhu was wrong going along with the sham of a marriage and how, despite not approving of it, Mishti still respected her decision.

The fact is, Kuhu didn't need to be judged. She made her own decision to work on her marriage and is being called out for what? Had this secret not been revealed now and came into light later the family would have praised her strength and maturity. I mean, they all seem to be happy with the end result.

It seems like the biggest anchor dragging Kuhu down is her own family. When she was at the RV's she was able to own her independence and individuality; her way of dealing with situations without anyone patronising or belittling her. And Kunal sees that Kuhu.

Truly @sam, your analysis was so beautiful. I don't know if I have anything else to add to what Meera said because she conveyed my thoughts. You gave so much depth to the scenes.

I don't want you to retire from the show because I love your perspective on the show but the way it is going to go forward, I don't even know if even I will be watching for long.

Aw, thanks!❤️I do sincerely believe that someone intends for these things to be visible, because there is so much detail to read into. There are many many people who make a show happen, so I have my own little meta-headcanon about a progressive, feminist junior writer who's been assigned all the most minor scenes/characters but infuses them with depth missing in the larger story arc. Welcome to the randomness of my brain😛

@bold: Kunal and Kuhu's story has always been deeply, inextricably entwined with their families. In contrast with the leads, they don't have a love that is "saare jahan se begaana" -- not better or worse, it's a different kind of love that is more anchored in their khandaani sensibilities. Like DQ said, Kunal was always going to fall in love with the RV bahu (why the mel-milaap made zero sense to him) and Kuhu may have married Kunal because she was in love with him, but she's staying because she fell in love with the entire Rajvansh parivar.

High-five on having the same origin story with this show and this ship! 😃 I also followed Shaheer here from KRPKAB (the ITV love of my life!), but would have quickly left if not for Kunal and Kuhu, and Meenu and Parul.

Your take on the Kuhu-Meenu scene is brilliant.

Thanks! I am beyond psyched that there are takers for this perspective 😃 The makers have gone overboard in the saazishes they made Meenu orchestrate, but her motivations were always really well-laid out and compelling. Kuhu starting from nothing, in fact being seen as a threat, and then working her way up to being part of Meenu's parivar ki ekta vision has been a journey to watch.

It also occurred to me how much of a weight hearing this conversation must have lifted off of Kunal's shoulders. In a post a little while ago, I wrote that Kunal has always had feelings for Kuhu but he would never let himself accept or express them as long as he thought his happiness was at odds with Meenu's/Abir's wishes. Even now, he wasn't denying that he loved her when others said it, but it wasn't until he heard Meenu's approval that he let the dam break and said it himself. This is not so much because he needs Meenu's approval to know Kuhu is the one for him and this family, but because more than Abir, he is aware of what Meenu is capable of, and not as quick to dismiss her feelings.

This is so spot on; it's my turn to be speechless! 👏

Isn't it so sad that nobody thought to give Kuhu a hug and say, I can't believe you've been dealing with this on your own; it must have been so hard? With the exception of Abir, who told her not to apologise, everyone made the revelation about themselves, which to me only validates Kuhu's decision to deal with it on her own in the first place. Can't deny the girl knows her family!

I absolutely agree with your last point. She blossomed into adulthood an enviroment where her talents and personality were appreciated and encouraged. And her crush on Kunal became something more when he was the first person to notice and compliment her maturity and humour (back when they were hanging out, before all the plotting began). All she has wanted is to be seen for who she is and not for the box her family put her in.

@sam.. This was a very very very great analysis 👏

I mean you literally showed all of us the light at the end of the deep dark tunnel. There wasn't one thing that I liked in the episode yesterday and now after reading your analysis it is making some sense. Especially the Meenu and Kuhu conversation was like a filler to me but now it makes so much more sense! Meenu actually wants Kuhu to not think about Mishti joining the family and focus on her relationship and family.

Though I still wish Kunal and Kuhu talked first but I would rather go with what you explained. The depiction of them standing on the terrace with family approaching before they could talk 😲

*charan sparsh* to your brain ⭐️

Uff!! How glad am I that I found you people here!!♥️♥️ I love the way the scenes are discussed on this AT. Everyone has such a different perspective on the same scene and it's amazing to see that. You guys made me fall in love with KuKu again🤗

@sam, I have a confession to make. I had messaged Kaveri yesterday on Instagram to just tell her how much I appreciate her playing the character so beautifully and in that super long message, I sent her the link to your post about Varsha and Kuhu's relation.

She read it and replied back saying:

"This resonates with kuhu perfectly ,and so I got a little emotional .Very well written indeed .

Even if you haven't written it still I am grateful to you for sharing it with me .🧡"

The thing about Kuhu and the rajvanshs also is that she is the right sort of person to keep them together as a parivaar. The parivaar bigben has been harping on about from day one. In the nicest possible way (and I am sure you guys know by now i do see some reasoning to bigben's thought processes), kuhu is bigben lite. She can keep these people together... she doesnt have to force people like bigben and has a way about most of them. She can keep a secret or two. Diffuses drama and gives every family member a lot of attention. Like her own husband said, she is bhai's bro, Mami's teacher.. etc etc.. I can see why she is wanting to fight back. 😈kunal just needs to keep his humor about him and this sautela son and his lovely wife can take the family into the next generation

I am so so glad kaveri herself agrees with this reading of kuhu

@aqua this deserves screenshots posted on a separate thread
