kuhu: kunal mujhe tumhare family se koi bhi grudges nhi hai infact i love them aur shayad unko bahot miss bhi krungi. pr me tumhare saath nhi reh skti.

kunal: kuhu me bhi nhi chahata hoon ki tum meri life se jaao kuhu.....kuhu..me tumse pyar krne lga hoon.i love you

kuhu: what kunal tumhe yeh sb krne ki jaroorat nhi hai me poora try krungi tumhari family pe hamare alag hone ka asar na ho.

kunal: pr kuhu yeh sb me

kuhu: i know kunal tumne yeh shaadi tumne abir bro ke liye ki hai mene bhi unhi ke liye ki hai. pr tumhe yeh jhoothi feelings dikhane ki jaroorat nhi hai.......tumhe yaad hoga tumne mujhe shekhawats ke baare me bataya tha. kaise tumne unhe business se gayab kr diya tha.

dont worry me bhi aisa hi krungi. kisi ko bhi iss divorce se koi farak nhi parega.

kunal: kuhu tum aisa kuch nhi krogi...i know deep down you love me.

kuhu: kunal tumne mujhe bataya tha ki tum shekhawats ko hate nhi krte unse nafrat nhi krte the.but hmare case me aisa nhi hai i hate you mr kunal rajvansh. deep down pyar nhi sirf nafrat hai tumhare liye. isiliye yeh galat femi apne dimaag se hata lo.

mujhe bahot nind aa rhi hai me sone jaa rhi hoon.

kunal cannot imagine this is happening. he just hopes ki kal sab theek ho jayega...

AT waalo!!

I don't know if you have seen the main forum or not but Thursday se all shoots are going to be stopped because Coronavirus. So, this coming week might be the last set of episodes we might get for a while and can I just say ki iss se zyada win-win news nahi ho sakti thi!!!🥳

I say this is a win-win news because:

1. Hopefully ab writers will have time to better the plot

2. We will get a break from this disappointing track😌

3. Pehle khaali KuKu fam ko scenes nahi mil rahe the but ab kisi ko bhi nahi milenge, doesn't matter which show you follow🤪. So sab saath royenge and not just us.

3. We (atleast Meera, Nikki and I) will have to tolerate Ritvik's bad hairstyle for just this week and then it will hopefully get better again💇🏻‍♂️

Since there is going to be no one to disappoint us, can I please request y'all to post HCs or short stories or whatever🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️🙆🏻‍♀️

@Bold: Never gonna happen; I have full confidence in them.

I had started a HC a while back but I didn't bother finishing writing it. I'll see if I have the energy.

Never say never, Snow!! You just might get surprised.

I am in a hopeful mood right and so very happy that I wouldn't have to deal with the show for some time. The more episodes that go by without a KuKu scene, the more upset I get. I'd rather re-watch old scenes than see the makers destroy my current ship and probably my favourite couple on ITV.

I want to read the HC!! Please finish it

I am thinking of writing a fight scene between KuKu, hopefully something as explosive as when Kuhu left the RV house and Kunal was left standing. Might as well get some writing practice out of this show😈

Hello, all the lovely people of this AT,

I am glad that there are still discussions going on about this doomed couple. 😆

After Friday's episode, I was heartbroken that my ship sank without any trace and I was determined not to come to the AT and spoil everyone's mood with my pessimism. But this show is like a bad habit that I just can't break and I came back to peek here if anyone else was feeling this negative. 🥺 Looks like the whole fandom is hopeless about this couple and personally I am not even sure that I will continue to watch the show from tomorrow.

I think I am one of the few people who loved this couple ever since the first episode. I waited patiently for a year to see a proper story between these two characters but the writers are more interested in showing forced drama rather than the progression in the storyline and characters.

The characters whom I fell in love with are almost unrecognizable now. Kuhu used to handle every situation maturely and she never ill-treated Parul even when she didn't know that she is Kunal's mom but now suddenly she thinks she is the "naukrani" and now she is blaming Mishti again? Was it really necessary to make Kuhu's character almost unredeemable just to glorify the FL?

And Kunal is suddenly seeking advice from FL whom he used to hate just a month ago? I get that he has accepted her as Abir's wife but was it really necessary to forcefully show that now he runs to the FL to take advice on if he should talk to his wife or not? The FL of the show is the last person anyone should be taking relationship advice from. Did everyone forget that she brought her best friend as her fake boyfriend and almost married him but left him at the altar for her ex-lover, that too after making everyone believe that she was happy about the marriage? But of course, it's an ITV show where every character of the show is butchered to show to glorify the FL. The same thing has happened to Kuhu and Kunal's character.

I don't even know if Kuhu should be with someone like Kunal. Kuhu flourishes when she gets the support and attention of people around her and is not compared to someone else constantly. But that is never going to happen till the time she is in RV bhawan or with Kunal. I have said this before but after Friday's episode, I am certain that Kunal is not meant to be in any romantic relationship. Even if he was not married to Kuhu but someone else, who was not even related to Mishti, he would have ruined that person's life because there is no place for anyone else in his life other than his bhai, ma and now Parul and his favorite(😲) bhabhi. He just sees an event planner when he looks at Kuhu that was the reason why he doesn't find her worth sharing any important details and decisions of his life. And this behavior further inflates Kuhu's insecurities and lack of trust in Kunal.

The writers have made a massive blunder by neglecting to show the proper storyline to KuKu. For the quality and longevity of any show, it is important not just focused on just one or two characters. There is a limited storyline that can be shown by solely focusing on two characters and their romance. That is the reason ITV shows take numerous leaps and show marriages of leads with other people and so many other crazy storylines. If the show had focused on other characters as well it would have been much more interesting to watch. As a viewer, I would have loved to see mama and mami's struggles with living with Meenu especially after Ketu's life was almost destroyed because of Meenu's stubbornness. It would have also been interesting to see some scenes between Shaurya and Varsha, Ketu's character could have been given some ongoing side plot about her college or career. The shows like Grey's Anatomy has been running successfully for almost 15 years just because it focuses on the stories of all the characters rather than just the lead character. But I think it's my mistake to expect too much from the ITV shows.

Sorry for the loooong rant. But after wiring all this, I strangely I feel much better about the disastrous end of my favorite couple.

P.S. Loved the discussion about This is us and comparisons drawn between Randall n Kevin and Kuhu n the FL. I was actually thinking of Kevin and Randall when I watched the scene where Kuhu said something about her feelings being invalidated and called tantrums.(don't remember the exact dialogues) Their characters and relationship are similar in so many ways. I love each and every character of This is Us and still cry like a baby when I watch the episode when Jack's fate was revealed. ( Actually who am I kidding? I cry in each and every episode of This is us 🤣)

Itni pyaar se sab likha hai ki mood spoil hi nahi hua mera to😆. It seems like the show is a bad habit for all of us but if we want that separation track, I guess we'll have to see KuKu-less episodes for a while. Can't they just show us one fight that Kunal was talking about in Friday's episode??

I have so many points that I want to write but iss show ke baare me baat karne ka mann nahi hota mera ab. And that's why I am so happy that iss hafte ke baad we'll get a break! So, like in the viral video of IIT Delhi students, I say, "Jai Corona!!!"🤪

So, with this new found hope, I'm going to write my points:-

1. Nobody!! And I mean nobody is irredeemable in ITV or rather DKP universe. That's what I found out during my short tryst with YRKKH. The characters have done some horrible horrible stuff but they were redeemed because the show must go on. Kuhu ne to DKP standards ke hisaab se abhi tak kuch nahi kiya hai. I wouldn't count her out until and unless she murders someone but I won't stay to watch the show till that time anyway. *What am I typing??*

We will get our Kuhu back. She is not lost yet. We just have hang on a little bit more. Just bank on episodes but come to the AT to vent or talk or whatever.

2. Kunal will take advice from anyone frankly. Would you have thought in a million years that he would ask Jugnu's advice on saving his marriage?? He is a #dufferchokro🙊

3. Kuhu should be with Kunal but as of now, she is with Nanko and there's a huge difference between Kunal and Nanko. Koi dormant Kunal ko jhatka de kar jagao because I am tired of seeing Nanko. Pehle sweet lagta tha but ab, he seems very dumb.

4. Writers are 100% at fault and DKP would know what happens when you don't focus on other characters. Has anyone checked the YRKKH forum? I feel so bad for the people still waiting for a sensible story line from that show. That show should have shut down with the Vedika plot only but they had to dig a hole for themselves by making a mockery of something as serious as molestation. But on a serious note, that forum is hilarious with the way they are bashing every character right left and center🤣.

P.S. reply: Oh damn! You went for the big guns ?! Jack made everyone cry. I started crying almost 3 episodes before "the one".

If anything, I hope my reply made you smile atleast🤗

@aqua: This was a response to you on your other thread but since it ended up being mostly about Kunal, I thought I would post it here instead of there.

I am super happy that you and DQ came out of the AT to respond on this post!!

I don't know if I would call this a rant. I couldn't detect any anger or complaints, except the last paragraph. In fact, you've written it so well that I don't need to ask any questions on where you're coming up with these thoughts. I definitely need to learn this skill because all I have been doing in this thread is trying to explain what I previously wrote. I am so bad at this. I'll go cry later. Abhi let's get to this post coz you've written so many great points here!

@Bold-1: So true!! I hated the way the Parul-Kunal relationship was given a name! I would've loved it to be an intimate moment with just these 2. But what I would have loved to see most of all would be Kunal realising the importance of Parul in his life in his own time after they had formed a bond. This was so rushed! *Shaking my head* I never thought I could ever dislike anything that Shaheer does but the way Abir has been trying to get Kunal to speed up the acceptance process has been so annoying to watch. I wanted to get inside the screen and shout at him to stop😖. Okay! Now, that's a rant. I love the title you've given to the show. It's so accurate!!

@Bold-2: So true!!! I come from a Marwadi family and there are people (and their ancestors)in Rajasthan who keep a record of family histories. I got to see the record some 8-10 years ago. They had my family tree traced back to some 150-200years. It was really cool!!

Rest of the post just makes me admire your thought process. This really was a deal between Meenu and Parul. The only person who could have had a say in it was Kunal and he was promised all the time in the world but this super sonic Abir, I tell you!!🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@Bold-3: Exactly!!!

@Bold-4: Stop troubling poor Nanko!!!💯🔥

Don't sell yourself short! My thought process makes sense to you because you have taken the time to understand my reading of the show over the past month or so. Since the show is primarly written for people who susbcribe the view of "right" and "wrong" that it imposes, I have learned not to argue too much. I just enjoy when someone actually gets what I am trying to say.

I will edit this if it breaks any rules, but I think This Is Us provides a wonderful counter example to the way adoption was handled here. William had a HUGE impact on Randall's life even though they knew each other for such a short time, Randall tells people he had two fathers, and credits William for a lot of positive changes in his life BUT it was never about him calling WIlliam "dad" -- that was and will always be Jack. There was a complex negotiation that happened there over an entire season about what exactly William's place in Randall's life was and we are still seeing the ripple effects three seasons later. (I think I avoided any major spoilers! )

So my major problem with the way this issue is being handled here is the oversimplification. Kunal said it best himself when he confided in Kuhu -- if one day some lady comes and tells you they are your mother, would you be able to accept it? What does "accepting" someone new "as your mother" even mean? How does giving Parul a more prominent place in his life affect his other relationships, and how might it confuse people who are close to him, like Meenu, Kuhu, and his in-laws ? These are questions that require a lot of thought and conversation (and ideally therapy) and they are just gliding over them like it's all so simple. And I refuse to buy the idea that this is ITV and we can't expect sensitivity -- some of the best adoption/found family stories I have seen have come from this medium!

I really feel for Kunal because this is yet another reinforcement of the idea that his way of doing things -- through small gestures and subtle efforts -- doesn't cut it. He has to go out of his way and be something he isn't to be "good enough" for his family. I saw the real Kunal when he supported Parul at the door and put his arm around her, I saw Kunal when he went in to check on her while she was sleeping and made sure she was comfortable. This grand gesture was not Kunal; it had Abir written all over it, because that's who Kunal thinks he needs to be (he said something similar to Kuhu when MA got back together as well -- I will do everything bhai did) to be worthy of this family.

This pressure to emulate ooc behaviour is a huge setback to figuring out who he is and is actually distancing him from the people who have loved him and would continue to love him for being himself -- Kuhu and, ironically Parul. As you pointed out, @aqua, Meenu will strike back with double force because of this loss of control over her secret, and the Kunal who could have managed her has now incapacitated himself in proving himself to bhai. The main issue with Abir here is that he isn't listening -- Parul didn't ask for this, she never said she is dying for Kunal to call her "ma" or acknowledge her in public -- sure, she was touched by this gesture, but she was equally (if not, I would argue, more) touched by his smaller efforts.

So basically, Kunal spent the first half of the show trying to be Meenu's parichayi and now he's swinging to the other extreme in trying to be Abir's. In all of this, I would argue that it's only Kuhu who has seen and drawn out Kunal, the individual, on his own terms. It would be absolutely lovely if after all this swinging, Kunal found balance and self-actualisation, but only time and Corona virus will tell if I'm a fool for holding out hope.

In all this confusion and stress I posted on the precap thread when I wanted to post here.

@sam this is exactly my disappointment with the show. Why does kunal have to scream from the rooftops? I wish MA hadn't egged him on. It's sad that for kunal this has been made either or, while for everyone else the relationships dont change at all. By proxy now kuhu, varsha and shaurya are in a dharma Sankat too. 👎🏼

@Aqua: You know I've been making KuKu siggies and now all of a sudden I'm excited - pata nahin kyun! 😆 Dono ke pics mein hi inti chemistry hai, kaash makers bhi samajh pate. 🤦

@sam: 👏Everyone needs to read your post - kasam se!
