PHILANTHROPY HEAVY EPISODES........

😔🤔🤓 Good evening/morning girls !!!! I hope all of you are well.

I watched all of this week's episodes in one go. Therefore, I don't remember the specifics with the exception of the last 2 episodes. Nothing memorable😳

But the last two episodes are so philanthropy heavy, I am sorry, but I rolled my eyes so hard, if I did anymore, I would dislocate my eyesAll the protagonists are so nice ( Katha, Viaan and Dodo), it is diabetes inducing. I don't think anybody has any shortcomings anymore🐷.

Phalguni maa is sweet, and she comes across as a naturally wholesome person👍🏼Dodo story is total gobbledygook, with no head or tails🤢. Not clear if her children threw her out, and if so, she needed to go to an old age home to stay and work? Itni sweet and pathologically happy Dodo ko, she should have thousands of adopted daughters and sons by this time. Just look at the magnetic attraction she has on both Katha and Viaan. I simply don't understand the level of emotional attachment both Katha and Viaan have with Dodo. Aarav's attachment seems more plausible, being a kid, just as he bonds with Phalguni maa.

Katha shows her big heart for Dodo and adopts her as her family. Viaan shows his roadside philanthropy- Girls, is it some TV rule that to show a person to be kind, they should start patronizing orphans and old age homes😒What was the deal with feeding the kids' food? This guy purportedly is more than a measly crorepati, his mom runs some kind of NGO, couldn't he find home and educational resources for mere 5 kids? Instead, why does he give a headache inducing speech to the vada vendor about " making his surroundings better"? I understand the sentiment and I agree with that. But, him and the poor food cart man are not in the same league, right? And then, to top it all, he is going to show up the next day to feed them again, lest the kids don't feel like the world has given up on them? Phew........ it gets very tiring girls to see this kind of preachy logic🤢👎🏼I don't know if I am making much sense. But, I was rolling my eyes during the whole sequence....... more headache after an already busy day😵

Then he goes and donates 1L for Holi and then the statements of the matron in the old age home and Dodo had me hopping mad😡. Ek pal ki khushi ke ilava, aur kya chaahiyein inn bhudon ko😡😡 Hain????? Peace and security. OK, makers we got it Viaan R has a very kind heart🤔Can we please move on from this in your face philanthropy?

And get this, Dodo doesn't want to be left behind, so her sob story also involves another big philanthropic project of building a shelter😲 For a show which is nuanced, why is it important to show these naive, empty, idealistic thoughts and acts?😲

I won't comment on Dodo, her color blindness and Viaan's kind heart in getting her some coveted lenses😡. Makes no sense, why does she need this correction? I would think professions such as pilots and may be a few others need this. How do they expect us to connect to this esoteric fact when they are talking about orphans who have no food and roaming the streets, old age homes and homeless shelters?

The only scene I liked is conversation between Viaan and Ehsaan. Poor guy is tearing up and seemed real. I hope they don't destroy their bond😒

I even liked Farah-Teji bitching about another guest right in front of her- in the sense that it seemed realistic.

Nothing to say about Meera, Yuvraaj. She is a nutcase and Yuvraaj is your stereotypical two-timer, deathly afraid of his father and wife, while grinding his axe against both of them in secrecy👎🏼

For all the gender neutral talk and women empowerment we had to hear, why isn't there one male employee helping with that rangoli in Earth-con? They are all standing behind and supervising. Money where your mouth is please🤡

Seems like this Holi, sab ke rang udaane wali hain. Yuvraaj ka pardafaash, Teji will probably not get her matching stole, and I don't know what the hell Viaan R is doing with Dodo's kids.

Sorry to be so opinionated. I didn't like any of the episodes so far for this week😵

Thanks for the tag mili. Although I think you've tagged the wrong twinkle haha. But I agree with everything that you've stated 100%. I have stopped watching the show for now and only watch the precaps to get an idea about the episodes which is usually enough to stay updated with the show because rest all seems very irrelevant for the major plot. I'm not saying there shouldn't be subplots in the show or not show other characters and only show the main characters. I love relevant subplots that actually add value to the major plot as long as they are done right. But I'm just not able to connect to dodo's story anymore and like you said everyone being overly sweet is something I'm finding very OTT. I would rather watch Ehsan and his antics than dodo's sob story. Very honestly I find dodo's character very unnecessary in the show. She was a donor for aarav and the story should have just ended there. There are so many other characters in the show through which Kaviaan's closeness could have been developed. Anyway, I'm not sure of dodo's importance in the OG plot but something is definitely lacking in the show that isn't making me care much about her.

Welcome back Mili. Happy to read your post. And wish you a very happy holi

This week episodes are a bit stretched. And Dodo's story I expected a better execution. Katha's attachment to Dodo is understandable. But Viaan's behaviour with Dodo is a bit beyond my comprehension. Same with Viaan giving philanthropical lecture to street vendor. He could have taken them in their charitable trust and given shelter and care than this promise of coming every day and giving them pakodas. It went above my head

Then I again convinced myself that don't forget that Viaan is our FL and in any ITV show, FL has to be mahaan and solve the whole universe's problems. Now it is Viaan, the FL's turn to solve Dodo and these poor kids problem. Kindly bear with him. Gussa mat ho yaar

Pre cap is the real dhamaka. Viaan the mahaan FL trying to tang adoing and solving Dodo's sons problem (I doubt if it goes this way how long EarthCon will survive and Viaan will stay in R mansion) by buying it on double rate🤣🤣. More mahaanta is on the way because Katha found out Yuvi's secret and it will be Viaan's turn to solve Yuvi's problem next week

kekeke... even I had similar thoughts mili -- I posted in DT that makers are trying to patofy us to like viaan more. unless he is going to do something stupid drastically later, I don't see the need for all these goody goody scenes.

as for dodo, I don't really see the point of her existence unless she is the gold digger mistress and her sons are viaan's half-brothers. 😂 if that is the case, then all these interactions as well as the property dispute will take on a different dimension later and there will be lots of masala. that is what I am hoping for.

otherwise, both katha and viaan are mad in my feels. 😂

okay, this woman donated and you feel all senti and she was offering free househelp and baby sitting -- great, did you buy some new kurta with the money you saved katha? nope. she did nothing. when she first donated, she was your elder sister and after cooking for weeks in your house, she has become your mother. waah, what promotion. 🤣

for all the talk about wanting for dodo to stay, I do think that katha is benefiting as teh sons rightly pointed out -- free babysitting so katha can sit for hours in office without guilt. hahahah... and I had a good laugh when the sons snarkily asked if katha wanted a piece of the pie in the property. 👏 I was like -- yes! finallly someone calling out why the FL gives lectures to all sorts of random people she doesn't even know!!

and viaan randomly giving glasses to someone he has just met? and asking her what her problems are? it is a good thing that dodo is all welcoming but there are lots of people who get very offended when people probe into their heath and family issues. they don't see it as care but as meddling or want of gossip. but in ITV, people all are looking for mahaan FL and ML to just pop into their lives. 😆

to be honest, I don't even see the sons as offensive -- this whole track is rather from some 80s movie about wanting to build old age home. 🤷

He will give double money for the land to the son but why .I mean the land belongs to neerjaji.So the sons getting what they want .Is it fair ?.Anyways who gives so much money like that .

the entire thing makes no sense legally. I keep coming back to the twist I want to happen but if it did, this mess would make more sense.

according to Indian Succession Act of 1956, unless someone writes a will, all property and assets are to divided equally between wife and children. the process is not that complicated.

you apply for the legal heir certificate -- where they will ascertain that you are the only wife and children LOL -- and then issue the document. after that, the assets are divided. the mother cannot decide to withhold the property from the children unless there was a will stating that only she is the sole owner. otherwise, by law, the boys are correct in wanting their share. dodo expecting them to donate some property because she and her husband had some dream is loopy -- that is not how the law works. if they are indeed the legal heirs, then they are entitled to their share and to do with it as they please -- there is nothing legally wrong with it. she cannot force her sons to do philanthropy.

now the fact that she alone got the property in her name is itself loopy -- by law, it should have been transferred to all 3 of their names if they are the legal heirs. why did it come to only her name after the case got over? either that is a plothole as wide as a mountain or part of the plot twist! 😆

if there are multiple owners to a property, you cannot buy part of the share/property. you need all owners to sign off at the same time in the registrar office. otherwise, it isn't legal and is more like some offense under the goonda act or whatever that law is called. this is the reason joint property with multiple owners sit in court for years -- if people can sell off their portion for whatever money they get, then everyone will be doing that.

so what is this with viaan buying off the sons with double money? 🙄 is it to make sure they don't file a case for the property that dodo owns? depending on the legal eye, that seems rather malicious actually. especially viaan being architecture firm CEO and dealing with property issues on a dailly basis should know that such handlings is illegal and shady to say the least. 🤦‍♀️

by the way, am not a lawyer. all of this is basic general knowledge -- so unless this property philanthropy plays out with a twist, I don't see the reason for viaan to show off being a goody goody. it seems a bit saccharine for me and out of some 80s movie.

rather than viaan's goodness, all I get is that he has tons of money to waste and is bit dumb. he had 2 crores cash lying around in his house for one night stand. now he is buying off dodo's sons out of the goodness of his heart. meeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!! 🤷

I live abroad & my parents (who have an apartment & a decent bank balance) live alone in India. If I saw that they had suddenly befriended a young neighbour who had moved in 3-4 months ago, was adopting them as parents or “uncle-aunty”, fawning over them, taking care of them & leaving her child in their care during the day, I would at least harbour suspicions that she is cultivating them with an agenda - either free child-minding or worse, sponging off. At the very least, I would gently investigate that my parents are not being taken for a ride.

And I am not an avaricious daughter. Just a caring protective one.

I get that Dodo’s sons dont care for her & only want her money. But, their suspicions about Katha are not unfounded. The Katha-Dodo arrangement is totally unrealistic. The Katha-Falguni one, on the other hand, is realistic coz many of us grew up with long-time neighbours who took care of us. It is a relationship borne of manybyears of proximal living & being there for each other.

Good post, Mili. I agree that the in-your-face philantrophy is overdoing it by miles. OK, we the audience get it that Viaan is a fundamentally decent, good-hearted person. Why treat us as dumbos who will understand only if the CVs rub it in? It puts me off.

And as I pointed out in an earlier post, colour-blindness is hardly a debilitating condition that it needs a guardian angel to come & solve it!

Mango you hv knowledge of each and every subject .Yes this plot is written without any research done.

kekeke... I have heard all sorts of stories about property disputes and people throw in legal tidbits into the convo all the time. plus you read of these stories in the newspaper as well as the regional news. propery disputes are so common these days.

I heard of one uncle and aunty who were in the 70s, close to 80s, who got married in the registrar office. uncle was apparently worried that since they do not have marriage certificate, how will aunty do the paperwork to get legal heir certificate later. so not sure what advice he got but he got very worried that she won't be able to get assets even though he had nominated her in everything. so they got married again at the registrar office. I laughed when I heard the story - normally you hear of young couples eloping but imaging an old couple who have been married for decades at the registrar office cracked me up. 😂
