#HummaHummaHumma|KuKu|KaVik AT 3 - Page 34

How does this #dufferchokro not remember a single conversation between him and Kuhu during their wedding functions? Does things need to blow out of proportion all the time for him to realize Kuhu's worth? She hugs him when he's on the verge of a breakdown and He shuts her up when the situation is reversed. What miffs me more than Kunal is how easily Kuhu gave him a second chance. Thora tarpati to shayad is larkay ko aqal aati🙄

True, love is not a balance sheet but when it's this imbalanced, one is hard-pressed to see the love. Also, would we be forgiving of it if it was Kuhu behaving like Kunal? It's a pattern that male characters on ITV get away with so much.

I mean, Kunal didn't even properly confess his love to Kuhu and he hasn't been the best husband in the second innings of their shaadi. I just want more for Kuhu 💪I feel that she has set the bar very low for Kunal and a lot of women do that in their relationships.

My only hope is that all this lack of tact from our #dufferchokro is because they are planning a better milan for our KuKu but knowing the writers, I doubt it.

So true!! Wow! Hum ghoom fir kar waapis yahin aa jaate hain that men get away with so much. Patriarchy has ruined the world.

I think I would give Kuhu a similar benefit, if not the same, if the tables were turned, but it's hard to fully imagine that because patriarchy had made men emotionally unavailable too. So, I have to say I am not really sure.

@bold- Agreed!

A love story needs all phases. We have seen Kuhu pining for Kunal, so it's only right that we have a Kunal pining for Kuhu phase. 😉

Out of proportion- That's my question too because right now, the love is not apparent. It's not that I am hating on Kunal but really, how much of his 'love' have we seen? Recently, all their scenes except the Humma Humma one have been him rolling his eyes at Kuhu's #MishtiMania.

One very important reason why Kunal was able to see the error of his ways was because Kuhu's approach was like a salve for the fire raging in his heart.

Why she didn't leave him back then? I always wondered. Love okay but self respect? She was hiding her love under those taunts and tried to be stone hearted but the hospital scene proved she was still in love with him. Ouch that misunderstanding never cleared

That will forever remain one of my complaints. Why wasn't that misunderstanding ever resolved? And now that so much time has elapsed between then and now, I don't think they'll ever revisit it, considering the fact that they had moved on from it after curing Kuhu of her walnut allergy 🙄🤨

I can't help but put myself in Kuhu's shoes every time. Apart from her OTT dialogues, I can somewhat relate to how she feels (we love ourselves those grey characters). The unresolved hospital scene, Naanu calling Mishti their "most special" bahu, her family getting more angry that she lied to them than getting mad at Kunal for cheating her and putting her through hell, Kunal leaving her on the doorstep to watch his brother's wedding right after theirs, etc etc etc.

My assumption is Hope. Hope for love makes you do all sorts of things in life.

Anyone have an HC in mind for clearing the misunderstanding???

How about this?

Continuing from where we left the epi. Kunal talks to Abir and Abir says sorry to Kuhu for talking to her like that. She says I'm sorry and they hug. She is still miffed with Kunal but doesn't create a scene.

Once home, Meenu's usual natak to get sympathy and Kunal and Kuhu apologizing to her. In the room.. Kunal notices she's still upset and straight away starts asking her whether she was thinking about Mishti and her fight. She says she's thinking about their relationship and asks him why did he even marry her. He says obviously coz I didn't want you to go. She still doesn't get her answer and in the spur of the moment says wish I never came back from the hospital. Nobody cared for me then and nobody cares for me now.

Use your imaginations now on how Kunal will spill the beans 🤣

It doesn't miff me at all. It makes me sad for Kuhu. The girl is so desperate for love that she would accept it in whatever form it comes to her. She doesn't want it to be unconditional or giving or whatever. She just wants love to be there and that is why she readily adjusts with being the last person in Kunal's ladder of priority. The problem comes when Mishti is put at a higher place than her because of past events.

Still not fully satisfied but I can live with this.

Hey peeps! Are we doing episode centric analysis?? Because I saw episode-1 a few hours ago and I have to say that I appreciate the writers so much more now!!!

Kunal is shocked and says, "Kaisi bachhon waali baatein kar rahi ho, Kuhu?" Kuhu turns around angrily and says, "Toh tumne mujhse shaadi kyun ki Kunal? Agar tumhe lagta hai ki main bachchi hoon, immature hoon, toh kyun kara mujhse #balika vadhu?" "Tum kahan ki baat kaha le jaa rahi ho, Kuhu? Iss sab ka humse kya lena dena?", Kunal shoots back. "You know, Kunal, there's something wrong with my fate. Uss din hospital mein main almost marne waale thi aur phir bhi, main akeli thi. Kisi ko kuch farak nahi pada. Ab mujhe accept kar lena chahiye ki main akeli thi, hoon aur rahungi. Uss din agar mujhe hospital nahi le jaate, then market at least #chutkara toh...."

"KUHU! SHUT UP!," roars Kunal as he puts his finger on her lips. Kuhu is broken out of her reverie. "Main tha wahan. Main hoon yahan aur aage bhi main rahunga. Tum kaise wish kar sakti ho ki tum---" he swallows. Their faces are close together and Kuhu can see the film of tears that covers his hazel eyes. "Kuhu, I was there. Tum jaanti bhi nahi main kitna darr gaya tha jab tum aise--aise leti huyi thi uss bed pe. Maine bheek maangi tumse ki tum uth jao kyunki nahi dekh paaya main tumhe uss tara--" Kunal chokes out. "Par nurse ne toh kaha tha ki tum chale gaye the...," Kuhu trails off. "Aur jab main aaya toh nurse ne kaha ki tum chali gayi thi. Pata hai kitna darr gaya tha main,"Kunal asks her, cupping her face. "Par...", Kuhu begins. "Shhhh...." says Kunal. "Tum meri baat dhyaan se suno. Tum akeli nahi ho. Main hoon tumhare saath." Kuhu nods and slowly, the two break into a smile.

I'm gonna have to go back and binge watch ATLA to see why you love Mai and Zuko so much. Did they end up getting married?? I forget.

Yes!! I saw Legend of Korra. It was good too but it couldn't match up to ATLA. The dynamics in the show reminded me of district 13 in Hunger games (Have you read it??). That wasn't a good feeling and probably why I couldn't enjoy the show as much as the Avatar.

Haha, you don't have to binge watch ATLA to see Zuko and Mai; they only have four or five really important scenes together #storyofmylife. But I love them because it's another story where two people put up these super tough fronts for the world but can be sensitive and vulnerable with one another.

I haven't read the Hunger Games, but I am with you on Korra not being as good as ATLA. From what I have heard, they never knew if they were getting another season or not, so the storylines were kind of all over the place. I did love all the little check-ins and updates we got about the characters in the original series, though, especially the storyline with Toph's daughters.

2013 onwards- Yeah, there was a time when Pakistani TV shows were popular but now that has died down. I have noticed that the Indian audience likes the same wine in a new bottle. If you think of shows from other countries which have been or are popular, it's Pakistani, Turkish and Korean shows. The popular shows usually share all the tropes that Indian shows possess, like Feriha, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Humsafar, Boys Over Flowers etc. RIch guys meets poor girl and there are fireworks is the basic premise.

Post-2016 is when we have seen Ishqbaaz and IPKKND 3 type kitschy sets with characters looking like they've just walked out of Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. The next game-changer was of course Naagin which introduced the wave of supernatural shows populated with icchadari nevlas and peacocks.

@bold: This is such a good point! The visuals definitely changed because of the popularity of these shows, but the same plotlines prevailed. It's always about the carefree girl teaching the rich, brooding guy how to live and love. SNS was an interesting twist on the usual saas-bahu dynamic where instead of being threatened by the bahu, the saas tries to empower someone she considers appropriate and then they team up against the threatening, modern girlfriend.

You know, I kind of appreciated how the Nagin phenomenon leaned into the absurdity of Indian TV tropes. They kept bringing these ridiculous supernatural tracks into their usual family dramas and it actually worked for TRPs so they made a whole genre of it! I can so respect when a genre is camp on purpose and doesn't take itself too seriously. The hypocrisy of these "social issue" shows that promote evolving forms patriarchy under a veneer of up-to-date wardrobe and dialogue are the ones that actually make me worry for society. 😕

Okay now, such interesting discussions happening the last few pages! I am totally with you guys in saying Kunal is not handling Kuhu has sensitively as she handled him, but I am still willing to see this as part of their evolving story. For Kunal, the surprise package in this relationship was Kuhu's unconditional love for him, and his unexpectedly strong feelings for her, but for Kuhu, the surprise was herself. Through this relationship, and especially when her love wasn't reciprocated, she learned just how strong and capable she was.

She came into the marriage expecting a fairytale love story, but in its absence, found herself building relationships in the RV parivar, holding them together when everything was falling apart, managing multiple conflicting relationships with sensitivity, and building a business from the ground up without upsetting her orthodox MIL. But it took a while for Kuhu to get from the first few days of marriage when she was openly telling Kunal she loved him, and blackmailing him not to reveal the truth of their relationship to a point where she had figured out her career and was emotionally distant from Kunal, ready to let him go if he didn't want her. It's early days yet for Kunal in this journey of accepting his love and need for Kuhu, which is why it doesn't bother me too much. I'm ready to wait.
