You are right, even i felt it to be Deba crying rather than Anokhi. For sure she didnt need any trigger for a good cry today.

I know! It really did look like she was packing her set room 🥲
I would be happy if they just close one track and dont touch any other. We can only hope or like always just make KPs💁🏻‍♀️
We will have KPs to fall back on! Only that the forum has become deserted 😭🙄 I hope to God that they don’t drag this Alok track until the last episode.

Shaan’s new avatar has been making me happy since the nazar ka kala teeka. Aastha saath rahe and shaurya khush dikhe to shaan bhi insaan ban jata hai. I had hoped wo apna bhi samaan pack kar leta, but assuming he has his stuff at his own flat i am not worried. I am eagerly looking forward to a shastha-shakhi scene tomorrow, nahi mila to mumbai jaakar dhulai!!!

Yes !🙌 Shastha- Shakhi for the win! I really love that Anokhi finally decided not to set foot in that madhouse again..and I don’t want Shaurya to persuade and take her there as well! 🙄🤪 Lol yes.. Shaurya must have his stuff at his dad’s flat. I was half wishing Anokhi to pick his stuff as well yesterday 😁

Babli and Falaq both rocked today!! She deserves all the love and happiness in the future ❤️❤️
i dont think Ahir’s has any feelings, wo to Dost Sabherwal ka asar, khud ka akelapan and having a good friend in Babli probably triggered those thoughts. I sincerely hope ye conversation in dono ka batade and matter clear kar de.

@bold I so hope you are right! Ahir needs someone special. Not Babli please.. let them remain great friends. ❤️

Shaurya might as well be in an orientation with art teacher because his absence was very unexplained and unnecessary. I think he will need to belofy some papad to get Anokhi’s maafi. She seemed pretty upset about him not taking a stand then and there again and rightly so. If not then, phone uthane main 5 sec lagte hai. He should understand that. Desi maaon ki bhasha main, 30 saal ka ghoda hai, abhibhi communication nahi aya?!?

🤣🤣 kal SS ki apne (real) maa-baap ke haath band baja hogi. And AloGun ki band Baja SS ke haath 😂
Also, He better have a very good reason for his absence .. warna Anokhi use chalne layak nahi chodegi 😂

i am going laugh, cry and dance my way through the last two epis. Lets see how it actually goes!
yass girl!! Let’s hype it up! It’s the last 2 episodes and we need to come together and celebrate the end of Shagun( hopefully! 🙄)

I’m in blue!

Thank God Anokhi is out of SH and in Shaan’s flat, into the arms of a real mom. She should’ve gone there in the first place for her grihpravesh. That whole Naina sequence….…😭. All the memories with her PS before and after shaadi. And she took her double sided photo frame🥺.

Naina Was beautifully done and acted! Felt very real 🥲

Loved that she apologized for the things that hurt Sabherwal sentiments but would not apologize to Alok. Alok basically asked for his own beizzati there.
Poor Anokhi thinks she’s not trusted by her PS, concurrently her PS is defending her to high heaven. I also liked the Anokhi promise to not reenter SH mirroring Shaurya’s promise not to come back until he can prove Anokhi innocent!

Alok likes to do his own beizzati 🤣 I lolled when he did his Namaskar to Anokhi after she didn’t apologize to him .😁 The concurrent scenes of SS and Anokhi talking about bharosa and their stance on coming back to the Sabh house was nice. Shaan was great when he asked her to leave , cause what’s the use of staying in a place where she didn’t get any trust or respect ?! My frustration is that SS too allowed this nonsense to continue, fully knowing that TejViLok were hellbent on humiliating or troubling Anokhi on a daily basis.

Babli is amazing! I wish I could witness this slow rise of the Phoenix! Vineet needs a slap! That man has so much fake masculine pride 🤢. I’m glad the divorce papers are signed, now what will Vineet do as a last act?

I’m happy happy happy! Both the Bhalla sisters are free! One from the Sabh House nonsense and the other from her abusive husband. Babli deserves all the praise ! She is truly a great example to all those women trapped in abusive marriages! 🙌❤️

Vineet will obviously do something stupid that’ll get him arrested( finally and non-bailable this time!)

Precap: Alok dragging down Shagun with him is cosmic retribution! I hope that scene isn’t the end scene of the episode. I want Alok track done tomorrow! 🙏🏾

Yes! Please Oh Lord yes! Let’s end this Alok chachu track tomorrow! 🤪🤪 Shagun had it coming .. let Priyanka spill the beans along with Alok.

If this was not the third to last episode, I would have savored Naina sequence a lot more. As it is, I just want some ShaKhi moments to remember. Shaurya better beg his wife for forgiveness tomorrow!

Yes .. a mere string-lighted Sorry won’t do this time, nor will a hug. We need more!( samajh rahe ho na.. we have freaking 2 episodes 🙄🤪😭🤧 and it’s been drama drama drama!) which also gets me to the Smoke bts… whatever happened to that!? 🙄😁 predict away!
Thoughts?

Green this time!

I don’t know why Shagun looked so surprised. If you lay with dogs, expect to get fleas.

I really don't think only the time slot is the reason but the Channel not promoting the show which is at early slot and also not hyping the important tracks, led to the downfall of the show's ratings.

I agree with you…. With zero promotions and early slot it atleast survived with trp 1 consistently. Sp have been very unfair though. No words to describe my disgust with such behaviour. They completely ignored this serial. God knows why.

I agree with the article to a great extent. The same yardstick cannot be used to measure primetime slots and early/late slots. You cannot compare a youth based show to a family drama (honestly, before the marriage, it had full youth/college show vibes and I think would have continued the same if not for trp pressure). It's unfair to the makers, the actors and an insult to the concept. And SAAKK is not the first show to face the brunt but it's good to see someone talk about this. Good content loses to an outdated system.

I really don't know what the issue with promotion was. No major track was promoted while we were given 2 promos indicating a love story...which was useless. And after a point they just stopped online promotions also. It was weird.

Having said that, I am appalled at the kind of market research or audience reasearch these channels do. Do they even look at the audience demographic? The concept? The ideology of the og demographic? It just feels they just pick and throw! But I guess it's only about the money and I can't even say that it's horrible as that is how the world runs.

While even I could see the storyline giving in to trp pressure but I always think what beautiful scenes we would have got had they not gotten married...had the fest happened, the Shagun track taken a different turn with anokhi refusing to get into something complex with shaurya! (as was the story indication but lockdown happened 🥲) Don't even know who to blame. But I am sure done with itv!

KV's new interview...watch it guys....

The team got the indication that the show would go off air ,when their Shaadi sequence was being shot.So,KV made the set tour video and posted.SP knows about the huge engagement of the viewers and the huge popularity ,they also acknowledged the fact that... this is for the first time that a show within such a short span of time got huge success. Now my question is...itna saab pata hain toh slot change/OTT ka option kyun nahi consider ki....pagal log😡

Mostly because trp. Also, OTT would have had budget issues and it takes time to work that out. And some gossip portals 'assumed' that ott was not done due to less online trp. I can google the barc ratings myself..they are available online. I can never find the 'online BARC trp' so idk where they get that data from. Maybe it's mandatory for the online portals to share views with BARC? But it's never available online to us. Really don't know how this works.

The online trp thing is a sham because I remember when ishqbaaz was heading for a leap , gul Khan mentioned that they are not even in the top5 hotstar ratings but gossip portals for online trps always ranked it at the highest. After that interview was published the next week these gossip portals reduced the online trp for ishqbaaz so I think online trp is not credible because hotstar does not release any specific ratings for the shows and its highly unlikely that these gossip sites have any contacts with hotstar directly .So I think the online ratings are a sham.

Ki kuch bhi ho, saakk fd ke saath naainsaaf thi hua hsin. 1.4million trend hua.. inspite of this the channel gave a deaf ear
