Kumkum Bhagya New Season | Episode Discussions Thread 4 - Page 83

Prathna leave. Shivansh is a hypocrite. On one end he has his girlfriend living in the same house and the other he continues demeaning his own wife.

I would have respected Shivansh a little bit if he has said " Prathna I want a divorce as I don't deserve you. I don't have the guts to shut BM and Sonalika and 20 other villains from insulting you everyday. I don't have have the guts to tell Sonalika to leave and find another place to stay. I am a mean and selfish person who deceitfully married you and forced you to stay in the house. You did everything a good wife would do but I have failed as a husband. And most of all while I think I am aa shrewd business man who can read people, I am really stupid and dumb".

Have self respect and live a life with dignity. You can not stay with a man who has pointed finger to your character. You worship and love your husband but that does not give him the rights to disrespect you.

It is very annoying what makers are doing. I expected the relationship between Shiv and Prathna to grow stronger, with respect, with trust. But here the makers continue to make a mess of the story.

They think the viewers will keep watching if they continue to give dream sequences and cut and paste of Shiv-Prath scenes from the past Sorry I am watching the episodes on the fast forward mode as I have no interest to hear what BM, Sonalika, Raunak, Payal are saying

His character has hit rock bottom atp. Every unique trait that once made him stand out is just… gone. He believed Raunak over Prart even after knowing what kind of a jerk he is, didn’t take her love confession seriously, got completely swayed by Bua and Sona's manipulations and actually thought Prart could say something like that to Bua

Then he goes on to trust Raunak’s words again, hugs her and the very next sec, falls for whatever nonsense Payal throws at him. Like seriously?????

And the astonishing part is they are not even trying to humanize him....

Namik is the only one who is trying to humanize Shivansh 's doubt, his lack of trust on Prarthana and his confusion with his subtle expressions...but writing is not giving him anything...

He is not getting any inner monologue/flashback or any insight into his mind that might tell the viewers ki what exactly is going on in his mind...

Even with such questionable actions,he still can be saved if you keep both their pov in parallel...where is his pov???? Yesterday also he was remembering Prarthana standing by the window, but still no inner-monologue!!! Instead Sonalika came there and Shivansh started talking about/against Prarthana with her....

Like what are they even doing 😟😟

Why your trolling Namik, let's leave the guy alone

Makers can tell from trp what fans like and want and if don't listen and want to give us the same old same oh well face the consequences. We have no patience for dummy down of ML, so it they're going to show nonsense let KKB end like the rest

I'll let the track played out at least it's not dragging

Bold; Arrey na na....I am leaving him alone... It's not that I am posting anything on X or insta and tagging him(I have not made a single post of that nature ever).... I said it here in fun since it was his beautiful post on in insta that had got me and many like me excited about the track...and it turned out to be one of the most lazy and cheaply written track of the show... with no layers ,no subtlety ..no thoughts.. specially it coming immediately after that beautiful week where they had actually put a lot of thoughts on every emotions , every layers ,each and every character 's pov came out so nicely...

Here Shivansh ka pov,uski side hai hi nahi...

I am not blaming Namik...bcz why would I? He is not the writer..in fact he is the only one who is trying his best to save this character and justify his doubts and insecurities with his expressions...but at this point writing is not supporting him

But I know for a fact this is never going to happen. She’s never going to back-answer Shiv, never question his intentions or even show the slightest sign of disrespect, even if he LITERALLY throws her out. Because he’s Rab for her now like she so proudly declared today!

I’ve always had an issue with her over-devotion and those cringe dialogues promoting this whole 'pati parmeshwar' nonsense. It’s regressive and uncomfortable to watch. But I let it slide earlier coz the show did show equality from his side too.. he respected her, treated her well, so it felt balanced in its own way..

Although their relationship was always unequal from the start.. not talking bout social status and all.. But how her character was written.. putting him on a pedestral, treating him like some god, but atleast Shiv's character had integrity, so it didn’t bother me as much..

But right now .. One partner is blindly devoted, being ruthlessly character-assassinated… while the other is sheltering his ex under the same roof, for reasons no one can justify anymore. Her parents are back, she’s fully recovered yet he hasn’t once told Bua maybe it’s time for her to leave..

I don’t know… everything about the current track feels so disconnected and off. And i'm starting to regret investing so much in this mess !

You are right.... Prarthana's extreme devotion and her cringe pati parmeshwar line is regressive as hell...I myself get so so uncomfortable listening to them...I was so embarassed even last night episode...I was like " Girl ...prove your innocence first...he is doubting that you are having an affair ...stop saying all this app mere rabb hai ,Jaan hai,iman hai...to him now"

But I kind of get where it is coming from...Prarthana’s extreme devotion, blind loyalty, and idealization of Shivansh are deeply rooted in her upbringing, trauma, and socio-emotional conditioning — not just love.

Prarthana's limited education doesn't make her "lesser" — but it narrows her world. She hasn't been exposed to:Healthy emotional Boundaries,Examples of equitable relationships,Conversations around self-worth, independence, and critical thinking

So when someone like Shivansh — a powerful, intense man — enters her life, her emotional compass becomes entirely centered around serving him, not standing beside him.She doesn’t see herself as equal to him.She sees herself as someone grateful just to belong to him.

Raised in a home where:She was mistreated by her adoptive mother,Never felt seen or heard,Probably had no emotional safe space.She learned that love must be earned through silence, sacrifice, and devotion — never received unconditionally.

So when Shivansh showed even fragments of affection —She clung to it. She magnified it.She wrapped her identity around his approval.

“If I stay. If I love harder. If I endure — he’ll see me. He’ll love me.”

This is not love.

This is trauma-bonding rooted in emotional starvation.

And earlier her only identity was "pandit ki beti" now that along with "Shivansh Randhawa ki patni"

In traditional, deeply spiritual households — especially under a conservative pandit father — she was probably taught:"To be devoted,That sacrifice is virtue,That men are providers and protectors, while women must serve, forgive, endure"

So Prarthana didn’t just fall in love with Shivansh —

She worshipped him.Her identity became synonymous with being his wife — even if he hurt her.

Her love for Shivansh isn't flawed because she loves him —It's flawed because it’s unbalanced, self-effacing, and painfully dependent.

The point is we can't relate to her ever bcz people like us probably can never know how a relatively uneducated,or atleast someone without basic education, who does not understand simple basic words of English,without real exposure to outside world ,zero out-knowledge feels around a man of this stature, this level of education and exposure...May be she actually thinks she doesn't deserve him ..hence she is tightly holding him due to this inferiority complex.... somewhere similar to Shivansh..

But the problem is with time she needs to grow...she needs to learn....a character growth is very very necessary.... which is what not happening... instead they are making it more and more cringe with new addition to her cringe dialogues...and now even irritating...

She needs to leave Shivansh atp for sure.But also needs to find herself.Learn to draw boundaries

Most importantly pursue education or a career — not for rebellion, but for self-growth

Understand that love doesn't mean erasing yourself

She doesn’t need to stop loving Shivansh.She needs to start loving herself too....

The point here is I am expecting this much...but looking at the way they handled this track I am not at all sure how are they going to handle it...and I am afraid I am probably not going to get anything..and again will be left alone in my imarat 😭.

So I don’t know but it’s weird the way they doing it here .

But in Appnapan when chef misbehaves with FL. When she refuses his disgusting behavior. He tapes her and he creates misleading video and posts it online. The ML ex husband acts like he believes his chef and then traps him in a way and makes him spill the truth and exposes the truth front of all in a party.

I did not like how people who talking s..t about her character in a party and even hero once says something for others to believe he believes the video. fl confronts him and she cannot believe he believes this and she thinks he is the conspirators against her to get custody of their twins.

He smartly exposes chef and gets her dignity restored and he says he never doubted her character once . He acted like he believed it because he wants to get to root cause. Also they never gave a hint at ML is doing that in that show. He in a very nice way shut peoples mouth talking ill about her character.

They showed it for 2 weeks .

I am still hoping Shivansh is following the same path. Because ways he doing it seems like it might be his plan.

Specially lack of monologue, and his inner thoughts....I am just not being able to believe that couple of episodes ago ,they were treating his character, each and every dialogues of him with so much care...now suddenly they stopped caring for his character totally...

It is fishy but pata nahi....I don't even get what they are going for

Although I am not able to watch the scene but the stills look really Funny. They are romancing in front of all the vultures

Guys I am literally cringing from the latest hug of PraShiv.

The audacity of Shivansh using hanky to dry her tears after believing the lovely story of his beloved brother and then Huug her. Like how? I was making face like Sona when I heard Jaan Ban gaye.

The makers actually made me anti PraShiv romance. I cannot watch their romance anymore.

When will they separate?

And as long as Shivansh is thinking that she is having an affair with Raunak, I don't even want their romantic flashback...I don't need to know how happy they were .. it will probably only do bad for Shivansh 's character..,as it would look like he gave her hope of forever,of permanence but now taking it away.and they are not even giving his pov...😟
