A question for my fellow US HS subscribers. Are you guys starting to see ads on your HS app in between videos? I'm pissed because now I have to see ads with paid subscription?!

Nope, no ads for me

Yes I do see those too on the app. A way to avoid that is go to www.hotstar.com from your browser and watch it there. You will probably just see one ad in the beginning thats it. Sometimes you don’t even see that. Hope this helps😊

Also, why did Raavi have a death grip on BOTH of Dev's hands? Like what was even the need for that dramatic entry? Uska hero thodi hai...

Sahi maayno mein jiske saath emotional hona chahiye usko toh sirf ek stare diya...bechare Shiva ko toh bhabhi ke saath hi footage milni hai 🤔

When did this happen?

I don’t even recall seeing such a scene 🤣 Did my mind block it out 🤣

Yup I do see ads- apparently it’s part of the paid subscription.

Pisses me to no end 😡 but no other option

Likely. She was holding on to Dev's hands and hugging Rishita. Thank God at least ShiVi were looking at each other.

Now that my YKB high has dropped 😆 I think the most infuriating dialogue for me was Dhara’s “mere jaane ke baad mere devraniyan iss parivar ko jode rakhengi” 🤦‍♀️ Like WTF. What have the writers done to Dhara 😭

Another unpopular opinion(chappals are welcome... but remember I am on YKB withdrawal 🤷‍♀️):

We got amazing ShiVi scenes this week, and it terms of their emotional space we got exceptional progress. Why is there so much unhappiness about no PP scenes?

Believe me, I love romance as much as the next person, but just having two people mechanically go through a checklist of “romantic” scenes will not be enjoyable. We think it can be... but it won’t be enjoyable. You need to have an emotional backing. And for that emotional backing, there has to be a story. Today was a crappy episode, but it was still needed to move the story forward. For whatever warped reason, writers chose this Mukteshwar sequence to jolt the kids together. Yes it is cliched, yes it is definitely rushed but the family bonds need to go back to some level of normalcy for ShiVi to even start processing their feelings towards each other. Shiva at the very least will be too worried about his family(no not just Dhara, there is unrest in the house, with everyone including Krish depressed, any normal person would not be thinking about his wife and loving her) to think romantically about Raavi.

This is not meant to be an admonition, it’s more of a gentle reminder to be patient. KD promised PP scenes, we got that. This has been a good week for ShiVi. Let’s hope to get consistent scenes going forward. But I would like to reiterate, focusing the story only on ShiVi without letting the story grow organically for others too, will eventually affect the ShiVi story line. We will get token romantic scenes, but we will miss out on beautiful story. (Example, baththub scene, while tantalizing has already lost its charm for me- I might forget about it in a month or two. The “tu haste hue bohot alag dikhtha hai” scene will stay a long time with me)

Rant over. I think I should probably go underground, change my username, and change my profile pic from Garfield to Hobbes. 🙈

Hmm... you make great points, but here is my take on why a pyaare pyaare scene might have made the episode stronger (and not so much like a filler):

Dev, Shiva, Raavi, and Krish went through something very traumatic. Each of them were stuck under rubble for an unspecified amount of time, and I am pretty sure the idea of "Is it my last moment on Earth" crossed each of their minds at some point. This type of NDE can lead to PTSD if left untreated. I simply wanted a scene where the characters began a discussion with each other over what happened.

Considering how Raavi now knows the truth, and has seen/hears how Shiva breaks down, I was hoping she would ask another "Tum theek ho?" question to Shiva. And after this simple question, I was hoping Dev and Krish could join in too. YKB is fine. Hugs are fine. But conversations and silent understanding are so powerful, and I want to see more of that on the show.

Even in the future, I just want simple acts of affection. In yesterday's episode, I loved how Shiva patted Raavi's head to rouse her. That to me, is going to me, is a scene that will live the longest. Especially since it shows how desperate he is to save her.

Seeing him immediately going into Dhara mode makes no sense and just reflects the poor editing...
