MHST EPISODE DISCUSSION THREAD #1 - Page 36

After watching this show when I try to watch other shows they feel bland and uninteresting, even though sometimes they have a more coherent plot and better acting. I guess it's because Main Hoon Saath Tere has such a fresh feel to it with some of the best background music I've heard in recent times. I find myself humming the tunes often.

I'm going to be so bored once this ends. It's rare that I watch an ITV show from start to finish and not miss a single episode. They should go back to finite series and up the quality.

Same feelings. Generally I don't watch too many shows. And especially not those long running ones.

This show was very fresh. Arya and Kian's friendship was what hooked me to this. I would've definitely liked it if Arya was not shown as the bio dad. Their Dil Ka rishta was amazing.

And Janvi - Arya pairing is good too. The growth of their friendship was a treat to watch.

Am going to miss this show too. I genuinely loved it minus the Anushka stuff. (Nazar lags di hamare show par iss aurat ne.)

Oh yeah.. this scene made me rewind the epi few more times. Such an organic friendship was built between them.

I also liked the scene when Arya met Kian at the hospital and Kian tells him to go and be near his dad.

ArKi bond was so beautiful 😍.

The majority of scenes between the leads in this show are watchable on repeat mode, even the earlier episodes. But this cover drive scene, the lighting, music, their expressions, the innocence, the meaning behind it, everything was just beautiful. I hadn't seen something like this on ITV before that kept me hooked.

+1 on Arya and Kian. It's rare to see father son bonding on ITV and this one felt organic. The child actor actually looked like a child unlike most of the oversmart kids you see on TV. Karan did a good job building that bond with Nihan, and it comes through. Actually Ulka's scenes with Kian were endearing to me, I usually think ITV shows OTT bonding between mother and child but not in this show. They had the right balance of everything. I loved the fact that we got drama, comedy, romance, action all in this show and it all just seemed to work (minus Anushka).

Oh these two are just so beautiful together

Zee should have started promoting this ages ago and given it a prime slot, would have gotten better viewership. Or better still it should have been on Sony.

Ya probably a better time slot could have made it work.

I agree too. Generally kids on TV shows are unbearable..

But our Kian was so sweet.

AryVi scenes are absolutely rewatchable.

Exactly we got to see all that's needed for a story (minus bhootni).

It's sad to see it go so soon. Let's enjoy this last week..

Yes...it was just perfect and pure. ❤️❤️❤️

I also rewatch their scenes..

Another good episode. Murli and Ritu scene was so sweet, they were thanking each other for their support and it almost felt like the actors were doing the same. I loved how Murli was telling her about how sweet the trio's story was, since he was an early witness to Arya falling in love with Janvi, and he echoed the audience in that the story was great until Anuskha came. I do hope he can help uncover the truth because Arya's like a volcano about to erupt.

Taiji was referring to some secret reason for wanting to oust Janvi, hope we'll discover this. Maybe she's in cahoots with Suyesh. As expected, we'll keep hearing about Brij on the phone. LOL

The Kian Janvi scene was heart touching and watching Janvi's agony about having to mistreat Kian was beautifully done by Ulka. She's such a powerful performer, I'm really going to miss seeing her on screen. She gave Janvi the grace and fire needed for this role. I'm a fan now.

Also we now get bewildered Arya who just can't come to terms with what he's seeing Janvi do, as if it's a completely different person from the woman he loves. He's still not giving up on her and asked her to beat him up to take out her anger on him instead of Kian. Aww.. Aryaman Bundela slaying till the end. He's almost like a volcano about to erupt so Dadaji was right in not including him in the drama.

I observed something and maybe I'm reading too much into it but the writers are showing that the moment Janvi wants to move on in her life and not be burdened by raising a child who is now rightfully with his bio parents, people can't seem to accept it. Not even Arya. We know that Janvi's acting but Arya doesn't. He's always known her as Kian's mother and knows how much she sacrificed for him over the years. He can't seem to digest the fact that Janvi may actually want to move away from parenting and focus on herself, especially since she has no legal claim to Kian. The fact that she told Kian a version of this makes me think it's deliberate writing, because she uses her words to show Kian that yes she didn't do much for herself all those years because she was busy looking after him, and while she did it with all her heart, she was indeed deprived. If indeed this is deliberate, then hats off to the writers for this nuanced messaging. This show and team really deserved a worthy platform to showcase everyone's talent.

I hope at the end of the show they'll have Arya acknowledge this and take on a more proactive role in Kian's life so that Janvi can have a little time for herself to study, hang out, and enjoy life like a typical young woman. She will still be Kian's mother, but not just his mother, building her own identity. Maybe I'm expecting too much, lol

I read somewhere the last episode will be on the 18th, but I'm not sure.

I still have a little hope that they'll show Anushka confessing it's not Arya's bio kid. Let's see.

I will think of this show as a finite one minus the Anushka track. The last few episodes have been good. I think once the team decided to go off air, they weren't under pressure from the channel to execute in typical ITV mode, which is why we're getting much better quality writing lately. I wish they spent the time showing Suyesh, Ujwala, and Anushka, not just Anushka. I think Brij not being shown is by far the biggest mistake they made on the show, but oh well. I will go back and watch these episodes on repeat.

My all time favorite on Sony is a finite show Yeh Pyar Nahin to Kya Hai that was 120 episodes or something but they got to tell the full story and wrap up as expected. Almost the same length as MHST but the difference being that Sony allows makers to tell the story. Had MHST been on Sony the experience would have been completely different.

This scene just gives you the pangs. The angst here is beautifully portrayed, especially when you know what Kian means to Janvi and how much Arya has always admired her as a mother from day 1. His total shock at her apathy to his reassurance that Kian is fine, because he thinks she's having a tough time being away from her son for the first time in her life and the reserves of steel she had to rely on to prevent herself from falling apart here. Karan and Ulka are just rocking it!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
