Mujhe Nahi Banna Aapka Dost- Ep 229 (Drawing Boundaries)

Good episode today. I liked it (tho I always like all episodes with any Raya screen time, I just skip what I don't like).

So, notable things that happened:

1. Opening scene with Pihu and Ram- our favourite bhookads- was cute

2. LOL. Ishaan wants to bribe the pandit to delay the wedding and extend Priya's stay- good, let's do it.

3. Okay, so Nandini is blackmailing Priya again- I'm just skipping this drama.

4. Pandit has been bribed, but now Priya wants to hurry the wedding so she can leave- blackmailing ka result.

5. Chalo, now my fave scene with Rama and Pihu- Ram tried to bribe the little girl with gifts and a cake to befriend her- and Pihu, being the petoo she is, almost got tempted, but the she threw the spoon away- a little extreme I think. But, then, she clarified that she got scared, cause Ram is rich, so she might take mumma away- which was really a cute and bittersweet dialogue for a kid. I just love Nakuul act Ram being a struggling 'father' ahahaha. I also love how Rama and Pihu hate each other's guts. It's like 'this man is a fraud and a nuisance to my mom' and 'this little girl is taking my wife away from me'- LOL, we have two Rams here.

6. I have to say- I love how Priya is raising Pihu. Parenting 10/10. Letting the kid reflect and stuff- really good.

7. AWWWW RAM WANTED TO ARRANGE THREE CYCLES. I loved the ending Raya scene as well. I love seeing them fight yaar, Naks and Disha are just perfect for this hehe. And omg, welcome our ITV queen Ramina, back at it again with the back-handed taunts.

8. Wanna mention how protective Priya is of Pihu- I'm glad she was able to vent out a little bit of her anger towrads Nandini (tho it was on Ram, sorry bro, no harm). It shows how even if the truth is out, I doubt Priya would want to raise Pihu in the Kapoor mansion. There is reluctance in Priya's eyes. Yes, she loves Ram, but she loves Pihu and has a responsibility towards her as well. They won't be able to live together peacefully till Ram is able to healthily detach from Nandu. Don't know how that would happen, but yeah.

PRECAP: So cute, ohmygod. I can't wait. 'Yes, I trust him, cause he's my Prince Charming'- gotta be a Dil Ki Dhadhkan moment, I'm calling it <3

Gosh this is quiet a positive written update..

I too love Priya's parenting. She is soft, kind yet assertive.

I liked the way she reminded Pihu about how Ram returned the medicine box n saved her. Best part is she gave her space and time to introspect . I loved the dialogue abi aapke paas time hai aap baithke socho, something like that ❤️ n pihu made the sorry card .

When mumma is upset baby Pihu knows she has messed up coz her mom never forces her. That's a healthy trust between a parent child in complete contrast to the way Ram has been parented n controlled by Nandini.

MM and Sara as a parent, I better skip ................

Another cute post

I admire the tenderness, strength and depth of Priya as a woman and mother, she gives her child everything that she was deprived of and that Ram did not see her.

Priya did not lock herself in pain, she endured the lessons and made her daughter a child who respects and honors her mother, but with her own voice and opinion, ready to speak out and grow up as a worthy person. Their bond is so magical and pure.

Priya is an example of a loving mother and the best woman, it does not surprise me that Ram, even through the years, strives for her like crazy

Yes! I love her parenting style. You summed it up perfectly. The medicine scene was so cute. I like that the final decision is in Pihu's hands, and that Priya trusts both her daughter and her own abilities to parent to allow Piu to take the right decision. And even if Pihu goes wrong, it's okay, cause it's all a learning at the end.

Ram, on the other hand, well, he's a kid himself. And, since he's just started, he still has a lot of room for improvement lol. He's like the goofy type of dad ahaha, which is okay cause his kid is mature, warna we'll have to worry about him pampering her.

Sara- well, Ishaan has grown up, so I don't think she'll have a parental role. I hope not lol.

Meera- WELL OKAY ENOUGH INTERNET FOR THE DAY. I loathe her.

Yes! Priya giving Pihu the happiness and parenting that she, herself was deprived of is such a nice thought.

And I agree, their scenes with Pihu are something I look forward too. I normally don't like the leap with kids thing- cause TV kids are just- ugh, I'm not a fan. But, Pihu is okay, cause she's mostly just a blend of Raya. So, yeah, they're adorable.

Our series is an exception in many ways, including the fact that the scenes of mother and daughter are just as good as the scenes between lovers.

Priya has grown into a special woman and person, her daughter will be the same

I so not do not agree. This Priya is getting over my nerves. She is just too selfish. I think a child needs a father too. She was the one who left Ram and every time chose her family over Ram. I do not like the stupid fights. Season 1 was way better than this and Priya was way better than this. She felt guilty . She was not mahan and she was a much stronger character,
