24th Feb - 28th Feb: Bidaai, incomplete SR, First rasoi, Mahashiv preparations
- Mishti's bidaai was beautiful. The return of the soulful song 'son chidiya'. Abir's tears broke my 'tough wali image' too


Shaheer's body language, facial expressions and voice modulations towards Mishti and BP, was soo genuine, his "I'm not a tough guy" hit me so hard
Awbiiir never had such love, care and affection from a fatherly figure, and he deserves all of it unconditionally from BP
-p.s Abir's dialogue "meri biwi ke bidaai be mujhe rola rahi ho" actually cracked my mum up
Whilst I was getting tear eyed and emotional, my mum couldn't help laugh out at his adorable comment
- Meenakshi's otp niceness, sugar-coated acts was soo hard to digest. Yikes it was unbearable
Too many out of the blue, sweet words "Mishti tumhari jaga meri dil mein hain" aiyoo,
How is anyone in RV house living normally with so much fake diabetes baatein?
-But I must admit, Meenu is playing a very chalaak, clever game here. Without openly getting involved in the sister's mess, she is slyly provoking the sisters against each other further, so that her under the table plans and plots will be hidden.
BB has always targeted her mohra very carefully and played against their weakness intelligently - Mishti's family weakpoint, Kunal's bhai weakpoint, Abir's nanko weakpoint, Nishant's mishti and family weakpoint and now Kuhu's insecurities with Mishti
Well played BB, good strike
but I'm glad to say, as usual all your plans will backfire, with the fire that Mishti and Kuhu suppress, and both your sons have already distanced themselves from you, your "minaar" is already shattering.
-THIS is what makes this saas bahu show, a tad hatke
Typical ITV saas bahu shows include the villain saas always trying to interrupt or disrupt relationships between the lead couple. But here, we have our BB instigating the hostile sister bond, and leaving mishbir and kuku to do whatever
Thankyou meenu for your open-mind soch to give the married couples their own space

- Mishbir and Kuku's SR/first nights were very nicely done. Thankyou to the writers for keeping the two couple scenes distinctly separate, I was able to enjoy both their dynamics
. Kuku's initial charm with Kuhu's bubbliness and Kunal's naive sense of humour was brought back
Mishbir as usual were the perfect definition of sukoon and pyaar
Abir chiding himself for saying too many shayaris, but the next minute he sees Mishtu sleeping - his shayar avatar just cannot be suppressed

Just beautiful
- Abir and Kunal yaar! the level of bromance these two have

Shaheer and Ritvik's comic timing is awesome
That entire yoga, dhokla, khakra scene was hilarious
Loved ritvik's little nuances when delivering the dialogues in between exhaling and inhaling
- **the sister's ceasefire and conversations/fights throughout the the week have lots of meaning and reading between the lines. I will place a separate post for kuhu with my observations and insights.
- First rasoi competition was super entertaining and family fun

Mishbir teasing each other, one hand being such kiddos
"everything is fair in love n war" and then on the other hand, increasing the cooking temperature with their hubby and wifey intense moments

-Shaheer and Rhea's performances have just escalated to new heights ever since mishbir patched up with all that angst, and finally got married with all the pyar and sukoon

Nazar na lag jaye to these two spectacular, natural actors and their real performances

- Kuhu's impulsive act of breaking of the haar, and Mishti's reactions was also very nicely written and executed. Kuhu's position at that time is just like that famous moral story of the shepherd boy and wolf. The boy who fooled the village by playing pranks of a wolf in the village, got caught in his own trap when no one believed him when a wolf actually appeared. Similarly, Kuhu who continuously left no stone unturned to humilate, insult or blame Mishti, now when she was genuinely sorry and trying to explain to Mishti of her mistake, Mishti had all the reasons to not believe her. Anytime Mishti tried to teach Kuhu nicely and politely of her mistakes, Kuhu would simply insult her back and not listen to her. Even after knowing all the things Kuhu has done with her, Mishti still remains quiet but Kuhu always took advantage of that quality and continued to do injustice with her, time and time again. Well done Mishti
, Kuhu deserves this and more.
- special applause to Rhea for always nailing these angry chorni confrontations
Even with a harsh cold and sore throat, Rhea never fails to ace these performances especially with such clear dialogue delivery and fiery expressions

Coming to probably my fav moments of the entire week. MISHBIRNAL


- That entire video call between mr, hubby and mrs. wifey with nanko joining in, was wonderful. All the dialogues, expressions, little pauses and nuances were performed excellently by all three Shah, Rhea and Ritvik


-This trio is soo enjoyable to watch. Definitely places an automatic silly smile on my face that I simply cannot get rid of.
Watched that clip multiple times on loop
-My favourite dialogue has to be:
M~ "mujhe kunal se baat karni"
A~ "Tu..tumhe Kunal se kya baat karni..OK"

Shah's expressions were PERFECT!
- Ofcourse the fantastic four's car scene was also entertaining. Kunal fed up attitude with Abir's typical teasing antics
Mishbir's adorable hubby and wifey scenes but still acting like complete kiddos
. and Kuhu's attempt to try and be happy with everything

- Re-occuring theme of Kunal taking a break from work and Mishti taking charge. Although the car scene between the four leads was nice. I would have actually preferred to see the scene Mishti mentions that Abir talked to her about Parul maasi request to convince Kunal about taking a break from work. It would be worth seeing Abir and Mishti's pov of Mishti wanting to handle Kunal's job - first of all it's not like Abir has no idea of how to run red pear travels. I mean for the few months mishbir were broke up, Abir was more involved in the office work than Kunal. Why does Mishti have to be the only one to take charge of the company? Both Abir and Mishti are hardly seen working with the ngo these days, this unexpected turn just to get Mishti's name under the knife, was poorly written. Plus why did Parul maasi lie to Kunal that the 'plan' was Mishti and hers? It was clearly Benba who initiated the convo and gave Parul the responsibility to convince Kunal. Why couldn't Parul say that it was BB idea? She had nothing to lose, besides Kunal wouldn't get angry at Benba, but he would surely go question her about it, just like he asks the others.
- Mishbir quick cute moments
Loved everything about the last couple of scenes with Mishti cooking and Abir taking her pictures, them teasing each other about staying up the whole night. Abir's flirty irradhe


They are just love.
