Kasak was still a legitimate child, the one Bajaj had with Maneka’s sister, his ex SIL is the illegitimate one. The crazy problem about Kasak I had wasn’t her paternity but her shown as nearly the same age as Sneha post leap when it’s not even possible!
Sneha was 8 when Anurag meets her, eventually he discovers she’s his own child and later they find out she has Leukemia. She’s around 9 when Prem no 2 aka UD is conceived to save her life and nearly 10 when Prerna has her! Sneha was then operated and we know she married Bajaj only after Sneha’s recovery. So even if Sneha recovered in say a couple of months, Kasak wasn’t conceived until Sneha was nearly 11 and was born when Sneha would have been close to 12, even if a few months short of the same. How can a child who was born nearly 12 years after her older sister be her roommate in hostel? That’s what always bothered me about her.
My problem with the situation isn’t that she got Karan here but that she copy pasted the same formula everywhere because it was a hit here. Karan was still explained away by ensuring that Mandira was a well established character pre leap itself and she had already fooled Mihir once with the same idea; this time around she simply had the result to show for it as well. But just because it was done here shouldn’t have resulted in the same being shown everywhere.
I saw Karan Tanya as an inevitability coming from a mile away because Ansh was gonna die and it was foreshadowed plenty before the actual scene. In one scene Tulsi herself tells him that my hands have always been raised to bless you or pray for you, don’t push me to the extreme extent where these hands are raised for your destruction. After that it was a no brainer that Tanya would stay because in comparison she was a more long term third angle to have and incorporate into the story who could be added or removed at any time and then brought back again if needed as well without any issues. Ansh once gone was gone forever and there would be no drama for KN to deal with as a couple.
I don’t mind who this woman is as long as the track isn’t rushed like someone’s tail is on fire and it’s coherent. Just let the actress in question be good if it’s a new character. We know if it’s Mandira or Tanya then it’s not an issue to worry about at all since both Achint and Rakshanda are pretty talented.
Personally I don’t think we can blame Damini entirely here and Gautam also deserves this.
He has been punishing his parents for what he perceives is their favouritism when he was the one who lost money twice and didn’t like when Mihir simply mentioned that. He never told Mihir he needs money but just because Mihir said Karan listens to me and you don’t he’s making a mountain out of a molehill. The fact that he feels ignored and is angry at his parents is justified but not all of his issues with them are either. He wants to blame his parents for his failures and use Karan as an excuse to justify blaming his parents so that guilt and conscience don’t nag him. He’s getting his dues back.
We may feel sorry for him but it doesn’t negate his own actions and treatment of his parents. Look at how he was with Mihir on the call yesterday, he couldn’t talk with his dad who was being so nice and loving to him on the phone politely and well too. He could have simply said thanks dad when Mihir said his blessings were with him to win back his wife and son. No reaction except silence for even literal blessings.
Gautam is a classic example of a person who makes themselves miserable by not allowing themselves to be happy or feel good as if it were a crime against humanity and they’d be punished for it. So what’s happening to him is a classic case of what goes around comes around. He realised he was equating his dad’s love with money when he had to pay his son to get him to be nice to him and want him. This is now that whole thing taken further to its natural conclusion by addressing the root cause issue.
Damini’s fault is that she didn’t get her husband to do the right thing earlier and now she is doing the same to her son. She didn’t warn Gautam that he’s setting a wrong example for their son perhaps because she was angry with Gautam repeatedly losing money, the financial stress and whatever it is that Gautam told her when she asked what happened when he went to Mihir for money the last time around, in the scene we saw in the flashback.
Riva’s Damini had tried to hide her mentally challenged son’s crime of raping KT; this Damini is still not in that league though so yeah, still redeemable.
I really liked Ritik-Munni/Manjiri scenes in these episodes also their chemistry improved after the leap. I am glad they didn't drag the misunderstandings between them for too long. I love the stand Tulsi took for Manjiri 
That is boring
