Like Chotton only intervenes as much as Anirudh allows him to and then Chotton leaves him there without coming to any conclusion. For example, the train confession. Anirudh told him not to talk about his feelings when Chotton questions him about being upset.


Like Chotton, just grab his collar, take him near the cliff and ask him to speak up or else you’ll push him off. Laaton ke bhoot baaton se nahe manne wale

And Anirudh is that bhoot who needed to be forced to speak him. Sometimes you have to do it for urgent reasons.

The thing is, Aniruddh maintains boundary with everyone. The only one he lets into his space and get into their space is Jhanak.

I guess that's another reason why Chotton doesn't work hard. Ani has always been mature for his age, he never felt the need to. But apparently it's not the same rn.

Agreed. Chotton also speaks in riddles most of the times.

Convenient for the makers. Irritating for us.

So, I watched both episodes without skipping the parts. I knew what was coming so it was easier to bear it and probably I am a bit more detached from Runak so it's less hurtful!

It's a great performance by Krushal and Hiba. Not doubt! Both were fabulous in all scenes. 👏

As far as the story and writing goes I am still disappointed. What we were promised and what we are being served is completely different. We have seen heart-wrenching scenes between these two a lot... so the story progression, character progression, and characters' brain progression are still 0. We expect a story along with beautiful cinematography and amazing acting.

My heart goes out to Jhanak. She was cornered like anything and heard some painful things from so many people. But I am sure the one that must have hurt the most was when Anirudh confirmed his love for Arshi again and called their marriage "banawati". She did not have a choice but to back that up as well.

Anirudh is not a bad ML in my eyes, he is a great guy but this moment will be noted as one of his weaknesses that he was ready to marry someone when he is clearly not sure if he will be able to keep the other person happy or be happy himself, regardless he is in love with Jhanak or not. Marriage is not a joke whether it is with Arshi or Jhanak,

Which bride does not want to dress up for her wedding? Arshi is also not interested in the marriage as much. She is only doing this to belittle Jhanak which is clear as day! Shristi and the entire family are doing this for their ego and fake respect as well, do not care the least bit about Anirudh.

The varmala scene was a superb performance by Krushal and Hiba. Krushal showed his loneliness, pain, longing for Jhanak, and love for his family who unfortunately do not care about him...

He looks like a helpless little boy to me among his people! That was a heart-wrenching feeling! I feel sorry for him.

It is still a disappointment, that both would have let this wedding happen if not for the intervention of the Priest, just like the wedding with Avinash. It does not change the fact for me that both made a mockery of their marriage and let others make it, which was not great to see.

Listening all day that their marriage was "nakali" several times and suddenly hearing it was "asali" from the priest who married them .... Let's see what impact that will leave on them! I want to see real progress in Jhanak. That is what we were promised in the promo. I want to believe they were showing her character progression and not her stopping the wedding per se at the moment.

But I am not going to keep any expectations.... Going to watch it with a detached mind. I have stopped building a perfect guy image of Ani in my mind. Because he is not. He is flawed and that is ok, but he is also not perfect which is also true!

The precap that they have been shoving in our faces for the last three days and Anirudh's dialogues are simply annoying! Stop doing this makers!

That is all!

Okay, this is for Bubbleji's question regarding J not having self esteem.

I think she is staying mum primarily because it's about Ani's shaadi right now and she doesn't want to create obstacles in it. She genuinely does wish the betterment for her sister as she thinks somehow her change in character is a result of things that had happened. Remember how Arshi was initially sweet? First impressions tend to make a strong impact. I feel J does not understand that Arshi was primarily like this and not a person who changed because of circumstances. Just like Ani. Both need some kind of rude awakening to understand Arshi for who she is and how low she can stoop in fear and insecurity and that it's not something that can be changed by them.

I also think she feels indebted to Ani in some way. So she thinks okay if I stay silent, things will go back to the way they were. Ani loves Arshi anyways, so this marriage is what is supposed to happen. After exams, I can stay in Kashmir or if I go back to Kolkata I will not be the one with the "Wife tag" which will significantly ease people's worries.

Unfortunately, with less privileges Jhanak will never be able to take a stand for her relationship unless like you said she realize what kind of evil game her Arshi didi is plotting along with her mother and obtain enough courage to take a stand. But then, she isn’t financially independent or has any other great means to support her stance. Arshi actually succeeds in making Jhanak to feel guilty always by showing insincere tears and blaming her after her plan fails!


Anirudh and Jhanak together can defeat these clowns but only if they have enough courage to acknowledge their relationship in the first place 😩

Agree! And Jhanak is a wrong person for Anirudh to speak to right now

So I finally watched the last three episodes, and despite the low expectations I found myself still disappointed. Here are my thoughts...

Runak - a forbidden lovestory?

So I didn't mind the conversation between Ani and Rahul. Even though Ani was pretty much forcing Rahul to getting married to J, there were instances where they connected due to their mutual feelings for Jhanak. And listening to them both discuss Jhanak's career and how capable she is, that was quite nice to see.

However, after Rahul leaves, the façade is gone and Ani looks utterly broken. He says, despite his feelings he can't keep Jhanak close to him in this lifetime. But why not?

To me it looked like the makers were trying to make Runak's love story seem 'forbidden' with a teary eyed Ani momentarily yearning Jhanak's love. But I'm sorry - This is not a forbidden love story. Forbidden might be say, a single mother falling in love with young guy, or something which some parts of the society still find taboo. But for Runak, from my POV, there is no such thing! There is a class difference, yes. But these two are literally married! They can legally live with and love each other, and other than emotional blackmail from the family, there is no legal and minimum societal pressures. Runak are apart purely because of forced MU, so this 'forbidden love' angle seemed OTT and overdramatic to me.

Arshi seeking trust in a their relationship

Beat me all you want, but in that moment when Arshi looked at Ani and asked for trust to be maintained in their relationship, there was a part of me that felt bad for her. I'm saying this purely from the POV of a young woman, moments before her wedding.

Ani couldn't even hug her back. How the hell was he planning to spend his entire life with her?? Despite what their relationship has turned into now, there may have been a time when they were good friends/lovers and genuinely cared about each other. At least for the sake of that Ani should have told her the truth about his feelings, regardless of whether J loved him back or no! I am not a fan of Arshi, however, today Ani in his sacrificial mode is ruining three lives. If he made it clear to Arshi that he doesn't love her (unfortunately in this case, words speak louder than actions) then she would back off. But he keeps convincing her that he wants to get married , and Arshi even though she probably knows this may not be a 100% true is holding on in hope that what Ani is saying is the truth. Call it being gullible, stupid or just in denial, either way, Ani is the primary reason why they've gotten this far - till the mandap!

Jhanak loves to be a doormat

Jhanak has just found out that Shristi helped Tejas in her kidnapping, and despite that she's being so polite and letting Shristi and others say crap to her! Like why??? Do you have no self respect, Jhanak?? Because of Shristi she was so close to marrying Tejas, and after that her life would have been a living hell. She would have been mentally and physically abused every single day! And Shristi showed no remorse! Forget Ani, I wanted J to react more strongly because it was her life at stake there! But no - she was politely inviting Tanuja and Shristi into her room when they asked her to join them for the wedding. And even at the mandap the two ladies were trying to gauge Jhanak's feelings on seeing Ani getting married and talking rubbish (even though some of it was true), and Jhanak was politely entertaining to them. Seriously? I wish Jhanak had asked them to shut up and gone back to prepare for her exams! Honestly, that scene was sooo exasperating to say the least! The titular character needs to be inspiring, specially when thousands of other young girls may be watching this show, but Jhanak unfortunately is far from it.

Beautifully written 🥰
