Hickory Dickory dock, life..errr Karma comes around the clock😬

All I could see in the episode was Anuj needs as much help, healing and closure as Mal does and I am not the only one to notice this. Anu can clearly see to what extent Anuj is on a guilt trip..he doesnt seem to understand that fate/time had a big role to play in that freak accident and that teenage boy in him was just a medium for the cruel joke to play out. Along with Anu, this Anuj is new and unfamiliar to us as well. The happy, funny, lover, shayar kapadia in whom we found our comfort and warmth is scooped out. I am not sure about you guys but am going to take a while to warm up to this vulnerable, helpless and a HUMAN Anuj. Some of us kept complaining on how too good to be true Anuj's existence is and now we have a 'normal' Anuj. Are we happy with this? Time will tell. I feel a little weird and will take time. To see Vanraj playing a 'hero' and Anuj being a helpless spectator is difficult for me. Sorry I said what I said!! I never wanted Anuj to be indebted to that family for anything🙄🙄

Episode was total filler. Kavya is playing housewife housewife by trying to be like Anupama one moment and not wanting to be her the next🙈🙉🙊

Mal barges in and requests to be enrolled in the shah circus for time being. Baa, for a change was funny today. Her expressions were spot on while noticing K working in the kitchen and when M makes the bizzare request. 😂😂

Ms. Karma visits Kavya as the past flashes in her mind. For those here after Anuj's entry, K entered the shah house in a similar manner when she was having an affair with V and Anu being a good friend let her stay and the rest is history!!

Sara ali khan makes a brief appearance and chakachak karthe hue baag bhi gayi🏃‍♀️

Akshay is the typical 90's movie wala boyfriend who wanted Mal's money and Anuj being the good bro put him to test and he failed. Mal has been furious with Anuj ever since. There are few more things that may have strained their equation further but Anuj is blunt when he says he cannot share it with Anu🤔😳 I thought a few epis back he said there is nothing in his life he doesnt want to share with Anu. This was odd to me. Being human is fine. Being flawed is fine but not disclosing something from the woman whom you claimed to be your everything goes against the very grain of his character. 😒🤐😐

Precap- V lets her stay in the house but K is hell bent on throwing her out of the house. Mal is making it clear to Anuj she doesnt want to stay with him and Anu lets her be for the time being. By the looks of it, M doesnt seem to have an issue with Anu per se!!

Verdict- not a 6am alarm worthy episode. You can catch up later. This Anuj is definitely not the one we witnessed in the Reunion, cafe, office and diwali episode. He feels different. I miss the dil hai ki manta wala Anuj😭😭

All in all Karma makes a visit to Kavya and also in a way to Anu ( when she is crying helplessly seeing Anuj's pain..the same pain that Anuj went through during bhumi poojan helplessly watching Anu cry and feeling heartbroken!!) 😑😑

The layers are just getting peeled and core is yet to be reached….

Episode begins with Anu and Anuj in car trying to search Mukku. I felt really good to see this moment as scene literally and metaphorically shows her in driver’s seat. Anu asks about Mukku’s behavior and Anuj explains that he is guilty of Mukku’s pain…how after his parents death, he immersed his self in work and didn’t give her full attention whereas she wanted only his undivided attention. Mukku copes with her pain by such behavior and he escapes by avoiding to meet her eyes and questions. He is all guilty n pained. Anu holds his hand and comforts him saying he is just a medium to her pain not the reason.

As I mentioned earlier, Anuj too needs help just like Mukku. Both are crushed under the trauma of pain and losing loved ones. I felt it isn’t just Mukku who is trying escapism mechanics to cope up the situation even Anuj is too….one avoids asking questions and other avoids answering…. They both need healing and Anu would be the healer. Therapist can play a role but a strong positive influence is as much as needed and our girl will take up the role.

They park the car near temple and Atrangi Re promotions happen…just one line stood out in that…. As long as we try to run away from us, the problem too run along with us…. Yes, that’s what is happening with the Kapadia siblings…both running away from problems and no solution found yet.

Anu asks Anuj about Akshay and like any iTV Bf, this guy was behind money and Anuj being big bro offered money and Bf ditches Mukku for it…. The usual. There is some more to this but Anuj doesn’t disclose it fully. He declines sharing it…..maybe because Mukku had warned not to share their family secret to any one…. But he has said half way na…. Anyway what stood out to me was Anu feeling the pain of Anuj just like Anuj had for her…it reminded me of the bhumi pujan. Very similar, but in role reversal.

Somewhere else Mukku is walking in park and her face n eyes screamed emptiness, hollowness that is in her life…she wants attention and love wholeheartedly, undivided for her healing.

Rest all Kavya trying to be best of Kavya and Anupama…Mukku landing in Shahs… nothing much.

Precap- V permits Mukku to stay in Shahs, Kavya’s usual tantrum and finally Anu -Anuj reach Shah. Anu also asks Mukku to stay back.

Coping from another thread I couldn't connect with today's episode.

I don't know what was off for me today but something was a miss

I mean mujhe sab samajh bhi aaya but phr bhi connect feel nahi hua maybe because maine mukku ko shah house mein rehna expect nahi kiya tha I know she is desperate to live there but the way she was pleading today I didn't like it

And her chipka chipki with v urf raj was

I mean control man

And she can fall in love with anybody jaha bhi ise thoda pyar dikha to uske intention janne ke baad bhi she will fall for me what the hell I know she is craving for love but phr bhi yr akshay ke time uske intention pata the ise phr bhi she was ok ek baar nahi socha ki agar jo paisa uski kamjori h wo paisa hi na rahe to kya akshay ka pyar phr bhi rahega I don't think so

And anuj was right here

Maan car scene waha bhi koi feel nahi aaya maybe because aaj meri neend puri nahi hui Dobara dekhungi to shayad feel aa jaye

But yes here I know jab young age mein parents chale jate h to bacche aise hi rul jate h bada sibling kaam mein busy ho jata h financially khud ko sambhalne ki koshish karta reh jata h aur chota pyar ke liye tarasta rehta h hum sochte accha hi rahe hote h because paisa bahut jaruri h life jeene ke liye but kar bura baithte h because us waqt pyar care wo bhi bahut jaruri h

Us waqt bade sibling ko dono mein balance karke chalna hota h but just because dard mein to wo bhi h to wo kar nahi pata this is harsh reality of losing parents at young age

Today again anu held Anuj's hand waise bandi ko bahana chahiye bss madam ji road par hi dhyan delo

But last scene so there are more suspense in the past abe aur kitne suspense h yr bss kardo

So now anu can't see anuj in pain

Sunny - finally I chipkaoed my review after ur tags😂😂. Guess I learned patience

Yep it seems karma is coming around for Kavya. Kavya feels how it’s to be in Anu’s place.

For Anu, it is more like the completing the circle in MaAn journey of love.

You are right dear we are not used to this vulnerable side of anuj that's why I think we are not able to connect it and yes anuj needs counseling 1 or 2 sittings at least because he has gone through so much and he is living in guilt only

But they are showing vanraj as hero in front of anuj I don't think so because hero wo h jo apne dard apni takleef apne guilt ko andar samete hue bhi use gusse ke through sab par nikalta na rahe apna nature na badle it's really very hard to behave like a happy guy in front of everyone jabki aapke andar duniya jaha ke dard chupe h aap bilkul akele h

And vanraj can never be hero in my eyes that person can't even think of anybody else except himself

But yes I don't want ki anuj ka past uski vulnerability kabhi bhi shah's ke saamne aaye especially 4 jokers ke saamne (they are still 4 jokers for me)

I m sorry if I hurt you🤗

Chalo Shah and Mukku scenes skip karke MaAn ko dekh liya… now my day feels complete Anyways so nothing significant except that Anu consoled Anuj and held his hand Baki I liked the car scene and I feel Anuj getting busy at work is not out of his character. It’s understandable that Anuj got busy in work to make himself and Mukku financially secure after their parents’ demise. I still think that he did give time to Mukku, but Mukku ko undivided attention chahie thi woh shayad nahi de paya because he wasn’t rich at that time and had to work hard, and so now he’s blaming himself.. I get that Mukku hugging Anu in precap confirms that she doesn’t have an issue with Anu… I didn’t want Mukku to stay with the Shahs but if she’s staying there, perhaps it’s an unpopular opinion but Anu could stay there to take care of Mukku and in the process, they can bond and Anuj can be free from worries too… Patani kya hoga

Finally, Anuj as a character was portrayed so far in an unreal but heartwarming way… making us think about fairytales and life as a bed of roses. But that’s not really true, right? Watching Anuj as a human requires a lot of patience from us but it adds the realistic touch. Like I mentioned in the previous episode thread, his panic attacks and self-destructive behaviours make sense because of the vulnerability he’s portraying now. So, the vulnerability fits the puzzle I think!! Also, not telling further about Akshay kaand - I don’t want to speculate or overthink but I think he’s just trying to keep Anu separate from Malvika’s issue because of the latter’s unpredictability or perhaps it has to do with Malvika’s annoyance with Anuj prioritizing Anu. So sometimes you gotta make tough choices, and Anuj did that and even apologized for the same.

Good parallel you brought between Anuj’s feelings seeing Anu breaking after bhoomi pujan and Anu’s feelings to see Anuj in the same situation. In both contexts, their families made her cry, and that shows their loneliness and their ability to connect because of the same.

That’s all for now!! I’ll come back if I have more to say! 😊

Completely agree they're kinda messing with Anuj character which I don't like one bit i couldn't enjoy the chotu sa màan ka hand holding also anu ka tears at the end .

I dk I'm not able to connect to all their emotions not even ones emotions... It all felt off wierd bizzare to me . With mal trying to get close to v idk how this will impact Vanya and maan

Vanya honestly I don't care but with maan it's already spoiling their essence .

Yeh ladka secret ko installments mein kyun de raha hai completely and entirely kyun baat nahi kar sakte. .

Aisa kya hai..

Like anu said if u won't show me the wound how can I apply ointments.

Looks like anuj also needs help along with mal

Woh cafe reunion wala Anuj was so so sorted now with the intention of making him look human and flawed they're spoiling his magic they're spoiling whatever they created.

I'm back to not able to enjoy maan again yaar and it's heart-wrenching for me as they're my morning dose

Thanks for the review Sunshine!

I'll skip the episode. I don't like to see Anuj crying, he isn't convincing at all. Plus I'm not liking Mukku's track one bit. 👎🏼

Precap- V lets her stay in the house but K is hell bent on throwing her out of the house. Mal is making it clear to Anuj she doesnt want to stay with him and Anu lets her be for the time being. By the looks of it, M doesnt seem to have an issue with Anu per se!!

If Mal doesn't want to stay with Anu / Anuj, then why did she drag anu to their Home.... proudly saying "Our Home"? ... After that if she is not able to live with them.... then the first option is let Anu go back to her house..... how long our hero needs her for food and medicines? Even if Mal wants Anu to stay with her brother.... and she wants to shift, she could have shifted to Anu's apartment. It looks like all the build up and craze in this show for the past three months has been dragged down a little with this new track.

Ha ha good job dear🤭

When I said Karma for Anu,i just meant it in the sense of what goes around, comes around! Not every karma is bad karma😊
