Given how and when the promo aired and how the show has been promoted- I think the channel and production company both seem to have given up on TRP. They are focussing on their Vampire show which has mukta in charge- good luck with that in the TRP game 🤣

If the vampire show is indeed a spin off from Naggin 5, then I don't understand how its a good strategy to force the audience to give up on Naggin. Who will watch its spin off then??

Thanks for the update, Huma! I don't have a lot to say about this episode, other than what irritated me (which was a lot! I skipped through most of it). Hoping for tomorrow's episode to be better.

You have to wonder how Sharad and Surbhi feel when they read these scripts and see how their characters are faring. If we're all so mad and disappointed at their treatment, I'm sure they also have similar thoughts. My weekly "I feel bad for SharBhi, someone please get them a better show!" appeal continues, le sigh.

I mean his recent villain progression has been really good- but yeah it might be too much to ask of Mukta. At least she's been consistent with one thing making his plans flop all the time. Please keep that going 👍🏼

I think revenge and justice- is whatever Mukta wants in this show to be honest. They have messed with physics- english definitions and meanings are nothing compared to that😆

I am fed up of this torturing both the leads- they both had a turn now lets move on. Reminds me of why I stay from ITV

I agree that they have introduced new characters whenever they want but out of all them he dismay favourite 😆 he is sassy I do love it

Ekta will do some excellent casting again which will get people hooked - and it will be known faces that people are already attached to. She will hook them in and then mukta will write a couple of decent episodes and then kill it 🤣

Welcome doll 🤗 I feel you I am just there for the Sharbi scenes that is about it. There was that photo of Sharbi and the director which someone posted. Where the director was just staring at sharbi (with a here we go again face), Veer was looking at the script with a WTH face (which is the actors reaction), Bani looking like she was pleading (Which was the production company saying please karlo excellent script hai 🤔) which sums it all up I think.

I am so glad this is a finite series- honestly. And hopefully if and when they do come back it will be with a BANG!

I tried to avoid BTS this week largely because I didn't want to build up any expectations (good thing too, even with low expectations I was disappointed!).

This being a finite series, you'd think they could invest the time it takes to write a half-decent script. It's like they're literally writing it as the actors are shooting, that's the only explanation for some of this nonsense. I don't understand why ITV wears its mediocrity as a badge of honour, they should take some pride in their work. I always end up feeling so bad for the actors who become the faces of terrible storylines and bad character decisions. This one in particular hurts because it's been so long since I've cared about ITV actors/characters/jodis.

I don't know how long Mukta's been creative head of Balaji (I can't believe I miss the days of Nivedita Basu!) but maybe it's time for a change. Either that, or can we at least petition to keep her away from SharBhi and any future projects!

I am not going to lie the BTS was good this week as in funny- Sharbi in their element 😆 I honestly for once had no expectations based on the BTS even the jacket scene I knew it wasn't what the hopeless romantic in me wanted- after the kitchen scene last week 🤔

They literally shot for half these scenes mid-week which suggests they aren't given scripts that far in advance- sometimes I think they come on here or social media after the weekends episode and do a pick and mix of what they think the audience wants (they usually miss what we want most of the time but hey!). The writing has been extremely shoddy after navriti and I don't know why apart from maybe the TRP game. I mean the way they handled SM being covid positive at such short notice was dealt with way better than the track post navritri. LOL I miss Nivi and Sandeep sickcand (I remember the kasam se glory days ) I would sign that petition to keep her away from Sharbi honestly I would be there signing away!

So many times actors give you nothing (not that they owe it, but still), so I always appreciate it when they do. Bless them both, nazar na lage, thu thu thu etc.

Sooo....on the jacket scene, there's a particular bit I noticed on rewatch that my traitorous heart and overactive mind went "hmmmmmm" at 🤔 but it's such a small thing that I feel like I'm probably overthinking it at this point, so IDK how much I want to even entertain the idea 😆 I can't help it, my mind starts acting like a detective even where it's not warranted 🤣 I wish this show were worthy of my overactive imagination 🤣

I mean the way they handled SM being covid positive at such short notice was dealt with way better than the track post navritri. I feel like at that point they at least had some scripts planned out, even if no eps in the bank. Now it feels like they just pull an idea from Twitter, an idea from IG and an idea from here and mash it all up together to satisfy literally no one. IDK if the writing staff has changed or if they're working on multiple projects at a time, but for a biweekly show you'd think they could put a little more effort in.

LOL I miss Nivi and Sandeep sickcand (I remember the kasam se glory days ) I would sign that petition to keep her away from Sharbi honestly I would be there signing away! Ahh Sandeep Sickand. I forgot about his fallout with Ekta, doubt he'll ever come back to the fold following the burning of that bridge 😆 lol his was the article I read about how people only want bechari bahus (he was talking about KHKT and how that show died on the TRP sword because people told him they couldn't relate to the FL not crying all the time . He was pissssssssed).

I have also noticed a theme whenever they know we don't like the ongoing track we get a red sari/black outfit look 🤣But yes they do their bit to cheer us up- honestly when I was watching the episode I was like just play the BTS on loop I would have enjoyed that more 😆

That jacket scene I think gave me VERY similar thoughts- but I refuse to expand or think about that further because I know I will most likely be let down. But lets say I wouldn't mind being pleasantly surprised *cough*stalkers*cough*. Also on a side note- did Bani go into his cupboard pick his own jacket and give it to him 🤣 I used to do that when I was younger to gift my mum presents - ingenious idea 🤣

Given the way colourless and the way PH has treated this- I feel like N5 is the step child they don't want 🤔 but they do want Sharbi so they're just confused really 😆

SS broke the kekta norms I remember- and then he left and everything went down the drain - a very dirty drain 😆Yeah he aint ever coming back - he is too progressive for Balaji I think. I remember seeing the promos fo the show you mentioned it did seem different never watched it. Also after seeing him on a weekend of BB I am not surprised he said how he felt- he doesnt mince his words 😆
