Lol I agree with everyone this family is full time playing ghar ghar. They don’t have any individual lives, plans, dreams. Kuch nahi toh never even heard them talk about friends hobbies or stuff like that. I think that is why Raavi is relatable. Atleast she as a human has chota chota dreams beyond just ghar ghar 😓

As a viewer, I really don't want to watch a grown man put more importance for his bhabi as opposed to his wife. I know it's just day 5-6 of their marriage in real time, but watching just how much he puts Dhara above everyone else is a little sickening, especially considering Dhara doesn't appear to forgive him anytime soon. There's been a significant amount of tweets/reactions from here that absolutely hate this bhabi-devar relationship considering how toxic it has become (even Dhara-Krish hasn't become as toxic as Dhara-Shiva).

Unfortunately, I think a large part of the problem of these mixed reactions (I see your point in regards to some of the tweets) is that ShiVi moments are embedded into this toxicity. The scene typically begins horribly, and then somehow, we get a "half-baked" ShiVi scene afterwards. I say "half-baked" because the writers don't flesh out the scene as it should be. After the bathtub scene, the kachori scene, and the "Only I can be your enemy" scene, I would've thought Shiva would've been more nice and pleasant with Raavi. But he continues to manhandle her.

You could argue that Shiva only manhandled her because she spoke "badly" about Dhara yesterday or that Shiva was emotionally charged by seeing Dhara ignore her. But... how could we forget the scene where Raavi said something very, very similar the day before and Shiva just sighed and showed her the wounds on his back? Where was Shiva's urge to manhandle her then? The CVs are fluctuating everyone's character at their will as they try to understand where to take the story.

Shiva's actual reaction to the scene, considering all his character growth since the marriage, should've been to angrily leave the scene after Raavi says, "You can open up to me." It's reasonable for him to feel angered that the family dynamics are changing since his marriage, but it is not reasonable for him to make all that progress, be okay with whatever Raavi spoke about Dhara they day before, and then manhandle her.

Unfortunately, we've been fine tuned to remove all the "ugly" from the scene and only focus on the positives such as Raavi taking care of Shiva's hand. The ShiVi scenes generate the buzz the channel needs, and the CVs continue delivering these "half-baked" scenes because it caters to the audience that wants drama and it caters to the audience that wants romance.

Ver well said and I agree whole heartedly!! And on top of manhandling, he tells her to shut up if she doesn't agree with his Bhabhi. What kind of nonsense is that? And Raavi didn't say anything wrong or disrespectful. All she said was Dhara's this decision is creating more chaos. Isn't it true? It's created more chaos daily!

💯 agree- if this was meant to be a normal drama, then the writers would have presented the story very differently from day 1.

What is tripping everyone up is that the actual high voltage drama events- Gaumbi’s marriage, Suman not accepting Dhara, the store being mortgaged, even up until the post leap marriage and Raavi’s suicide attempt was handled very subtlety and tastefully. It never seemed OTT and you were still pulled to the story. I still go back to see the Gaumbi’s marriage episodes- such high voltage drama executed logically, without anything or anyone being jarring.

Now they are trying to pick a non-issue- this so called “batwara” which is just people cooking separately , and trying to build this illogical drama around it. I mean, seriously, when Raavi’s suicide attempt was handled with so little drama, I just can’t take this whole cook separately, 2gm gold drama seriously. My mind is not able to reconcile these set of events. Either have a TRP drama(like Ekta Kapoor dramas) from day 1 or not. That sets the tone for the viewer. Here our expectations are based on episodes up until the marriage, and we cannot enjoy what is going on now.

I really wish there was a way to put this across to SP. But as I understand it, it is a lost cause. I believe SP would just axe the show if they see fit to do so.

What a mess 😭

Couldn't have said it better. Makers playing subtly with high voltage drama was one of the USPs. And your choice of words are perfect. The Batwara which is apparently just cooking seperately is getting high voltage drama, dream sequence after dream sequence on same roba dhina, extending days and more and more crying Dhara for weeks. Here we want this to go away fast, but makers are hell bent on showing us dreams that we don't even care for.

Heck SP likes to drag all of their wedding functions and they had haldi/slmehndi/sangeet and start of wedding like 2 episodes. Even wedding suicide drama was less than one episode, and since the slot change they've gone coocoo. If makers are stalking, please please please bring back the previous pace and characterization to this show. Make it like BBB or SGP. No need to go Kekta way. We already get enough of her crap on all channels..bring your originality, and please make your own mark. If SP is interfering, show them this thread. Thanks!

Finally made one 😆

Does anyone know how to add images to a post? Clearly I have been away from IF for too long and have forgotten how to do anything aside from commenting in posts 😆

I am curious too.

But I think if it's google or an online link, you just have to paste that link address to the image and it automatically shows up. Or use the picture icon in reply above.

Lol not too long ago we were wishing this show came 7 days a week.

But if we have to take out andolan, I'd rather have it over #SPstopMeddlingWithPS, #BringBackOgPS, or #BringBackPreHaveliCharacters

If at all they cannot stop the meddling with story for TRP sake, let them do that for 6 days of the week. Leave out one day. You know what, as un-feminist as it sounds, they should leave out the girls on Saturday.

Every Saturday should be dedicated to the misadventures of Krish and all the men of the house getting caught in the mix 😂(without their better halves 😈) I need me some light hearted nonsensical brother bonding. Shiva’s shirt is optional.

They could show girls bonding too, but I am scared it will become a nasty weep fest

I know with IG you can just copy the link and it appears but can’t seem to make it work for regular images. The picture icon left me a bit confused too 😆 I think at one point there were codes but I can’t remember 😆 I used to upload so many gifs and such back in the day and now I can’t even post a simple pic 🤣

It might also be your browser. I was trying to upload my profile pic and it just wouldn’t work on Chrome or IE. Had to finally do it on Firefox. Hope this helps!
