Our Veer would be ashamed of the way 2.0 has treated his Bani and would spend the rest of his life cursing himself for it. But 2.0 ko last episode mein usski yaadaasth wapis mil jaaye, wohi Mukta devi ki badi meherbaani hogi 🤢

Same re: if this was a daily. Dailies get a bad rap but just as the tracks can drag, the flip side is you get a slow burn, and at least there would be some emotional resonance instead of this jerking around from one aafat to the next each week. I don't even mind memory loss/separation tracks that much IF they're done properly bc the potential for angst is zabardast, but this is not the show for it. Daily soap ka trope super fast supernatural show mein ghussed ke they are not doing justice to either genre.

@bold - right?! Why on earth would she or Tapish lie about this? She's wearing a freaking mangalsutra and from what angle do her sarees look like those of a maid to you? Theek hai, you don't remember her, fine. But can we please stop Veer calling her a maid every 30 seconds? What purpose is that serving except for stabbing us all in the heart every time he says it?!

💯 Agree

Ps. That's why i keep saying i need this 💯 emoji😂. Had to quote whole text just to tell you how much i agree.

No s3 was not destroyed like this arshi.

There mahir (the male lead) lost his memory but then his family told him about bela and he accepted it without question..he was distant yes but never called her names or insulted her..then due to the enemies..he had a head injury and became child like and again forgot her (what we call the baby mahir track)..yet when bela came back..he grew fond of her ,she was his best friend and finally bela used naagmani and that brought back all his memories at a go and he was back to normal.

N3 derailed when they brought unnecessary villains like hukum/huzoor which ruined the plot line and then an evil child killed behir while bela was pregnant. Then they had a rebirth track,first bela remembered and then mahir..their past lives..bela killed all the villains and they got married again and lived happily ever after.

But the takeaway is they NEVER ruined behir like they are ruining vani now.whatever the track was..the biggest positive was behir would get back to each other.

I've seen lotta clips of s3 because i love sj!! But man, the baby mahir track made me cringe soo hard!! Like hadd level michmichi!!🤢

Abhi bhi i can't seem to make myself watch those clips even for sec when they pop up on my feed!!

See with mahir there was a hope that his memories will return..and he never called bela stalker or naukrani..in fact he was told she is his wife and he accepted it too.

And his memories did return.. Bela used naagmani and it made him normal.

Yaha mukta and Co have so helpfully declared that veers memories won't return..destroying every hope.

Oh how I hate the writers right now🤬🤬..if I get my hands on them..I will punch each one on their faces and use pepper spray too..for torturing us like this.Sadists!.

@green same feeling here!😆

Yeah, I feel for Bani. I don't even want this baby track but did they have to do it this way? She can't even tell Veer the truth because he won't believe it's his 😡, like seriously. This is the Veer for whom Bani is practically life-giving oxygen. Just knowing how much our Veer would have loved this news makes it all the more heartbreaking.

Exactly! I can't watch a scene because its hurting so much yaar. They effectively killed the old veeranshu and I don't like this new veer 2.0 who chants rani rani..I get that he is confused and desperate but why don't u listen to your older saner brother when he says bani is your wife.WHY??

And I was glad to see no daksh or ponky today..they are the ones who are encouraging this naukrani/stalker nonsense .dhabbewala do us a favor..and knock off these 2 heartless losers before u go pls.

AFAIK Bani hasn't even told Meera (yet) about the baby, so right now she's having to go through all of these emotions alone, despite her husband being right there, and honestly that's so cruel. I don't know what vendetta the writers have against Bani - they never let her be the strong Adi Naagin they constantly told us she is, and now they've isolated her in this way. And what they're doing to Veer is equally disappointing. All to glorify Jai...maybe they should have called this season Adi Naag 5. If anyone finds out why Mukta is so hung up on Jai, please let me know bc I am genuinely curious to know why he gets such special treatment.

Bani is suffering so much,not taking care of herself and taking so much stress.I wish ballu or tapish put their foot down and yell at this veer 2 0 that she is your wife..like it or not .stop disrespecting her and torturing her.

The writers hate veer and bani the most and dhabbewala Jay is their darling🙄🙄 .I wish I knew why though.

. But this show, with its schizophrenic plotting and writing? By next week we'll probably be watching Veer and Bani's grown-up children fight Jai's grown-up children

Well said..schizophrenic writing indeed👏👏👏👏👏.

There is no hope..nothing to look forward to in the coming episodes. THIS RANI TRACK IS SO POINTLESS..isse acha bani should have taken the rights of veers wife by force and annoy him as bani only..this rani track is stupid.in fact the stupidest plot line i have ever seen.

Edit: About the "tabahi" thing, tbh our Veer has previously called Bani "aatank" "toofan" etc. type things, so I didn't feel like that was him insulting her necessarily...more like something the old Veer would say in tashanbaazi to his Bani. But yeah, calling her a maid constantly is getting super old. They should stop making him call bani naukrani..its demeaning.

Yeah tabahi wasn't a direct insult but the timing was wrong.. here bani was telling all good things about veer to baby and he wakes up and calls bani TABAHI..we know the baby is listening. What a first impression!

I honestly don't think I could have watched Veer/Sharad in that kind of track. Even this is better I guess

Today > Yesterday. I was not as disappointed by today's episode. Perhaps its because I literally go in with such low expectations now. Not that I am still not terribly upset at how much the show and VaNi has been ruined or frustrated by all the stupidity thrown at us. But the disappointment hits less than it used to, before. The thing is they are no longer writing for Naagin5. Nop. They are writing the base, the prequel, for the damn spinoff. Everything now is being set for the next show, all the focus is there and the remaining time for this one is just being filled to get to the ending date. You can just tell that there is no effort or even will from their end anymore. The step-motherly treatment shows. Har cheez ki Oh My Maata kar rakhi hai.

There are just so many things going wrong. The most important thing they have ruined is the essence of Aakesh/Veer's love. I can't deny it anymore , its wasn't just a dent, they've totally killed it. Bani or Rani, they've taken away the his sanki pyaar. For this Bani bani Rani to have an outcome, he needs to come out realizing that while he does get attracted to Rani... its Bani his heart desires. I am still at least hoping for that. Otherwise even the dialogues and actions doesn't seem to make sense anymore. And continuity be damned.

Just venting out a few things off the top of my head (just few cause otherwise everything is worth ranting over only😆) from yesterday and today.

- What was even the point of the Pandit and Panditayan and Sapera baba. They were literally of zero help . If the Panditayan could whatsapp Bani about the Bichoos and Bani could call Sapera baba twice to ask Panditayan's wherabouts... why the heck couldn't baba just leave Bani a message or just you know give her a call too? Technology use karleta toh jaan bach jaati. Ya phir pehle se hi vachan tod diya hota aur sab bata deta. .

- Pyaar Ki Nishaani. Enough said.

- Hated Veer putting Bani down all the time. Even when Bani was crying worrying over Sapera baba's body.. Veer seemed not to care. 🥺 Not even a little hesitance at those tears Veer? I also hated that Bani kept running to Veer all the time and dropping those tears. The fiery, feisty Bani is dead it seems along with our sanki, intelligent Veeranshu. At least, she stopped just crying and did something - even if its Rani.

- After all those blunders, has Veer seriously not caught on that Rani is Bani?

- Why was Veer even running after Rani and demanding she open the door of the washroom? And why did Bani want to escape? I am not picking up something here.

- Kis angle se Bani looks like a maid.... and kahaan ki behenji Ponky baby? 🤣 Here we were discussing her designer outfits and he literally just called her behenji. I lost it.

- Tantrik baba. Really? And he gave Jay what power? To change roop? Seriously? They are icchadaari. The addition of 'not being to guess it is you' is negligible and just so silly. Jay's plans are equally stupid. Looks like they are just finding random sidekicks for Jay to have screen space.

- Veer and Bani's intelligence have gone for a toss. Veer seems to not have any questions about his memory gaps. Aur hamari pyaari Bani ke liye toh there needs to be a separate line. Out girl has already lost it long ago.

- Is Bani seriously giving dhabewaala another effing chance? WTF Bani? Like this baffles me the most. Its not even the second time. Its the third freaking time! Even I feel offended on behalf of Veer. He tried to kill Veer and yet she's like 'I am hoping he will give the saath of sachhai this time'. Woman. I am just - I - I am speechless..

And then there was SharBhi. Today was actually mostly VaNi, just not the way we wanted them. Despite, everything that happens, the context and the lack of logic, their scenes still manage to pull me in. The small lift scene with the hand tapping ❤️. Small but poignant. When Veer comes in and twirls her over the broken glass pieces today, it was such a sweet moment. They looked so at ease, comfortable and forgotten what their changed equation was. Their smiles at hearing.... the baby's laughter.. even in their confusion was adorable. Then, the scene where Bani speaks to a sleeping Veer (how pretty did SC look! ) was so touching. Surbhi was amazing there - the new mother and the wife in love. So heartbreaking that she can't share this joy. This is why I continue to watch the show. Watching them reminds me of why I started watching the show in the first place and why I am still here and will remain till the end. There is also a part of me that is bitter at how much better this could have been, how different it would have been had Veer never lost his memory in the first place. Robbed. Robbed of those beautiful moment a couple goes through basking in the news of the bundle of joy coming their way. I am glad that at least some insight was given into Veer and his state of mind+feelings today. That made for a teeny tiny soothing to the fact at least Veer is also feeling some loss. Sharad was brilliant there! Those minute expressions of confusion and pain breaking through the confident Veeranshu shined.

P.S. Ballu's U-Turn is such a missed arc and super strange. Khoda pahaad nikla chuha. I guess we will no longer have the whole showdown of Veer finding out about his family's kaarname.... oh wait, he already knows. 🤔

Keeping aside the crap storyline, SM was totally brilliant in the episode. Surbhi too did well. There's nothing left to enjoy apart from the individual performances of the actors.

Their acting and chemistry is the only reason we tolerate this catastrophe!!

Things we do for love!!😆

Agreed with everything you said so won't quote the whole thing, but LOL if this kid knew how his parents normally are with each other, this wouldn't even be a blip on the radar 😆 (just trying to lighten the mood...our Vani has always been a bit hatke 🤣)

No arshi..that was better.trust me on that.

That track lasted like 4 episodes..but it was good.baby mahir was kinda cute and initially he was apprehensive but later he adored his best friend bela..used to listen to stories from her and trusted her a lot.it was sweet not a heartache like this.

And all that led to belas confession..she never confessed but seeing mahir memory lost first and then the child avtar..there was a scene she told behir story to kiddo mahir and broke down saying I want u back .I miss u..I still remember SJ nailed that scene and mahir actually in his sleep responded that he loves her too.

And when mahir got his memories back..the first thing bela did was confess and that was beautiful.

Yeah so that track >>>>>>> this torture track ANYDAY.
