That's what I understand.

I think he is her junior or something in office also.

She already hates his mother, there must be a back story for same.

Yes but why is she ok with the marriage, I am not understanding her thinking, I understand the character - she is obviously a dominating person and quite scheming but what’s the deal with agreeing to marriage

@ bold - in this episode, there is something very important that they have shown - a woman’s agency no matter how wrong everyone may interpret it as. It’s done brilliantly in the scene between the sisters and phupo. Just very well done.
And then of course, hypocrisy or patriarchy - the scene when Phupo and Alia ask him who is the girl he was with, he just turns and says questions Ali and the other sister, this on the surface May seem like Phupo and Alia are being hypocrites because he is pointing fingers at them, but as viewers we know patriarchy and societal hypocrisy is giving him the guts to do it.

I think this isn’t a plot driven show, it’s a relationship driven show. This is not about high romance, it’s about equals in a true and realistic sense. For me the USP of this show is the subtle way they are driving certain power and relationship dynamics home. Every relationship is telling us something more than the dialogue, the situation and the interaction we are seeing them in. It’s beautifully crafted, I would say it’s like watching a novel on screen. It’s the diffference between online shopping and buying a joda by feeling the cloth ….

Mujhe bada mazaa aa raha hai,

I'm glad you're enjoying it, and I'm quite hopeful that I'll start enjoying it too in future episodes.. but not at the moment..

As yet, I've no objection to anything they've shown, but, the quantity of what they're showing is too less for me.. I actually agree with spnfan that its a good drama for binge-watch, or else, they should have shown two episodes per week..

My imaginative mind is telling me that this Bilal-Sajal casting is the continuation of the ping pong game between Ahad and Sajal.. apparently, they broke up with silence, but seems like there's a silent war going on between them.. after their split, Sajal did a movie and some romantic photoshoots with Bilal.. then Ahad did a drama with Ramsha which leads to friendship between them.. then Bilal unfollowed Ahad and Ramsha with rumors that he's not happy with their bonding.. and now, Sajal has signed this drama with Bilal.. I'm waiting for Ahad's next step.. 🤪

So here's Ahad.. Nestlé EveryDay, Tum Mein Hai Kuch KHAAS. - YouTube

Sajal did the movie with Bilal when she was with ahad. Its said in the promotion iv of the movie that sajal used to talk to ahad in bilal's phone. Bilal has nothing to do with sajal-ahad split and there is no proof ahad has anything to do with ramsha-bilal split. Also hum tum was first offered to Bilal and sajal but they turned it down.

The past couple of episodes have been pretty lacklustre. I don't like the over emphasis on the baap beti and shaadi angel. A better balance would get the audience’s interest back.

I am unable to warm up to Aaliya. Sajal is going over board in many places. Bilal just lights up the frame whenever he’s on screen, which isn’t a lot tbh.

This drama is exactly like ek jhooti love story. If we go asses it based on each episode then we might find it very slow but the overall drama will be great. Fortunately ejls was a webseries and all the episodes aired together so it was good for a binge watch. I guess nowadays people are so used to mirch masala that this drama will look like healthy food which is feeka 😆. It is good for long-run but won't enjoy it at first.

I unlike most on this forum don’t enjoy OTT mirch masala sh** shows at all. KTK and Tere Bin have been the most popular threads on IF, and I have not been part of either of those.

But I will also not praise something just because it’s different and I am supposed to. Kuch Ankahi is fresh and the story and characters are very well written. But that does not mean that’s it’s a perfect product. There are so many dynamics on the show, a better balance would have served the audience well. It is what it is. I know it will get better and pick up as episodes progress but my opinion was based on what I have seen in the past two weeks.

The drama has so many central characters like ejls and the run time is barely 40mins and its weekly. It's a family drama so it isn't gonna be fast paced either. They need to establish each characters and their Dynamo with other characters and all of their individual storylines. So it's definitely gonna be slow paced and will require a lot of patience while watching it. Almost all slice of life dramas are slow paced without any major plot twist or high voltage dramas. If we are only invested in a single character or single couple then we will feel it's dragging a lot when other characters take the central stage. If we watch zindagi Gulzar hai weekly then we might feel the same. There are multiple episodes in that drama where there is zero interaction between the leads. Slice of Life dramas are more about characters and their equations than a storyline. They are better for binge watching than weekly watch i feel. Since there is no major incidences happening, audience wont be left with the curiosity of what's gonna happen next. that makes us less invested in the drama and our excitement for new episodes won't be as big as spiced up dramas.

This is the kind of drama that won't elevate our blood pressure but it won't increase our sugar level either with lots of romantic scenes since everything is subtle.

The way Aliya and Salman fight is so much different from the way murtasim and meerab fight even though both the couple have amazing chemistry and all 4 of them are good actors. But still masses are more attracted to murtasim and meerab simply because there is more mirch masala there with random pushing and pulling.

I so wish this was a webseries for Zee5 and they dropped all the episodes together. I would have binged it in a go.
