@shelzee: welcome to the forum dear, thanks for posting

I remember the scene, had recently re-watched on insta, will try to find the link and post it

I think kunal intentionally avoided the 'do you love mishti' question, he knew quite well that he had no feelings for her & as he had said after rishta swap 'main usse hi shaadi karunga jisse maa chahengi'

knowing abir that he would probe further he probably wanted to avoid the question and thus gave a befitting yet truthful reply 'isiliye toh courtship kar rahe hain', so that they get to know each other & thus can settle down easily after marriage (from kunal's pov)

@shelzee: That scene was so interesting! I think Abir saw Kunal's complete lack of awkwardness around Kuhu, something he didn't have with almost anyone else. Right from the beginning, Kuhu put Kunal at ease and brought out his sarcastic sense of humour. Their back and forth worked because Kuhu wasn't over sensitive and didn't easily get hurt by anything Kunal said and Kunal enjoyed and responded to Kuhu's humour as well. It reminds me of what Noah says about Allie in the Notebook. "You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a b*tch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing." 😆

What's also telling is that when Kuhu called him Mishti's boyfriend, he responded with "what nonsense," because I think for Kunal, especially after Shweta, shaadi wasn't ever about love or feelings, it was about bringing the bahu Meenu wanted into the house. At this point, as far as he knew, that was Mishti. He just didn't want the jhanjat of love but rather a straightforward arranged marriage that would make his family happy, and he had every intention of putting in the work to make that marriage a successful one. With Kuhu, he could sense that jhanjat 😉 and he ran in the other direction to move things forward with the bahu he thought his mom wanted.

@Peace: I also struggle with the question of why the leads, and all the characters, are portrayed with so much potential depth when it's never properly explored. A good counter-example is actually the first year or so of the parent show. It was definitely Akshara's story, but that didn't take away from the depth ascribed to secondary characters and even secondary romances. Both Shaurya and Varsha and Mohit and Nandini had beautiful love stories. What's more, Akshara was instrumental in bringing Mohit and Nandini together, but she faced the near-collapse of her marriage as a result, and both she and Naitik learnt and grew a lot from that experience. That's the kind of progress I would love to see on this show.

I honestly prefer Kuhu's chillao-ing pati because at least there is some interesting potential for growth there. It's actually quite irresponsible to show a couple who never doubt each other, always support each other, and never disagree as an attainable goal, because that is just not how relationships or love work. That's why I was enjoying the episodes just before the break -- there were actually glimpses into Mishti's insecurities when she tried to sabotage Kuhu's interaction with Charmi and got called out by Abir for her refusal to accept that talking to Meenu was wrong because of the effect it had, no matter what her intention. I wonder if I can just give up the show now and keep that image of it before they do their usual sleight of hand. 😛

Hello everyone checking in. Its been a while, I had to go through so many posts.

@Snow: you VM was so beautiful the editing was point. I loved the song you selected and congratsbon Kaveri sharing it on her Insta.

@Sam: The dekha hazaron dafa aapko VM was so dreamy, its a perfect song to reflect Kunal's feelings. A Kuhu admiring Kunal is just .

I noticed some newbies coming in, cant remeber the name and too lazy to go back and look at the comments, but welcome you guys!

Anyways, how is everyone doing?

Also, I am experiencing a writer's block on the #ladaku chokro, not sure whether I want Kuhu to have a breakdown and have an understanding Kunal or a full blown KuKu argument, and Kunal slowly learning his mistake.

hi ria thanks for dropping in, hope you are doing great🤗

why not write both versions🤪

jk, anyways hope you come out of the dilemma soon, I will be more than happy to read whichever turn the story takes❤️ tkcr n atb dear

As much as I'd love to see an understanding Kunal, if you're going for the more "realistic" angle, I'd say a full blown KuKu argument may make more sense, after which Kunal slowly understands what he's doing wrong.

I agree!! And not because I want to see an argument.

I just went back and skimmed through the last chapter to remember where you had left things. It reminded me of how things were before Kuhu and Kunal had the #devaroftheyear argument where Kuhu had had enough and Kunal couldn't understand Kuhu's anger. He was so surprised that she was talking to him like that because he had never experienced that side of her. Kuhu just needs one more taana to blow up right now.

Also, I don't think Kunal's EQ has developed enough in the show for him to understand where he went wrong in his approach with Kuhu because he is super inexperienced in this department. For example, the way he thinks that if he does romantic gestures and does not talk about the incident at all, Kuhu will completely forget things.

I'm sure the following has been brought up before, but I think I'll bring it up again.

Just out of curiosity, has there been any other show where drink-spiking is as common as it is in YRHPK? I was watching some old episodes so that I don't completely forget about how the story goes when the show comes back, and MAN, I was surprised at the number of times a drink or two was spiked to further along the plot.

- First holi party where Abir and Nanu spike Kunal's drink

- Kunal's bachelor party

- Mishti's birthday party, where Kunal spikes Nishant's drink

- Second holi where Mishti, Kuhu, Nidhi, and Jasmeet eat spiked golgappa

- Mahashivratri, where Kuhu spikes Abir's drink

And the worst part of it all? Half of it is shown for comedic interlude, and half of it is shown to put someone's life in serious danger so that a character can take the fall for it and become the villain. I'm sorry, but what message does that send to the general public about the morality of spiking someone's drink? That it's okay when you do it for fun or amusement, but not okay when you do it to sabotage someone? Isn't that how things like date-rape drugging work, where the perpetrator thinks that they're just doing it for their enjoyment?

unfortunately the moral compass of itv shows always tilts in favour of leads so the same situation becomes a majboori or a means to glorify them in contrast to that situation being used to make the other characters vamp/villian

the way the drinks when spiked by abir-

for kunal- was used to show that it made kunal forget his past & enjoy holi, and thus it is fun & right

for mishku- was used to bring out their latent sisterhood & love/care/admiration for each other and again is fun & right

but when spiked by kunal/kuhu- were used to establish them as grey characters
