No-one.

Well for me this episode was probably one of the worst I have seen. While audiences in India will love the fact Abhi proposed, to whom did he propose too? A girl who is going to sacrifice him for her good-for-nothing brother and a mother than does not respect or value her?

It is pretty evident that Simi will say "no" from Neetu's comment to Vicky. Why would Abhi want to come around to a house after Simi says "no" to him? He can meet Mr. Seethi and give him the papers at the Daggar house. So what next? Abhi will go into his Devdas mode, look at Simi's picture and sob. Simi will go home, probably having accepted the Daggar proposal, and think, "WOW! I am such a wonderful daughter, look at me, I have sacrified my love for my mother and brother, and I have Abhi the sucker waiting for me (lol)!"

When I started watching this show I thought this was about a woman struggling to find someone who would love her despite her looks. Well she did find someone who loved her but what does he love about her? Her irrational sacrificing for her ungrateful family. That's not something I find respectful in a person; it is actually a very dysfunctional behavior.

I suppose this is what this show is really about, how a young woman gives up on love for her family time and time again who by the way, don't appreciate her.

Last week I thought the show was wonderful; Simi had finally woken up and realized she needed to focus and value on the person who did care about her. But no, now she wants to make those people who spit on her face a priority. O well, I guess this is what the TRP ratings are about and what Indian audiences love.

I know me, I will still watch this show next week. When will I wake up and smell the coffee, this show was never written with an audience like myself in mind (at least not for the last several weeks).

I do not think its going to come,

I think she knows that Abhi is the only person who can make happy, but I think that Abhi is not the type to sacrifice his love for anyone to be that is why I love her character, Simi telling her full of things that he changes his mind he will never

Creative team is making a huge mistake here; when they try to show sacrificial Simi. Sacrifice does not mean accepting and believing any simple lies Anita could tell. At least she should verify with Abhi if Anuj is really sick or not.

If these guys wrote a story of a movie, no one will even watch it. Critics will give 0.5 star.

hey laila..relax yaar..i knw we r frustrated bcoz of the mahaan sacrificing simi..bt we can appreciate yesterdays scene..atleast uptill now abhi doesnt knw wht exactly is going on in simi's mind..he doesnt knw abt simi-anita interaction..he has no idea tht simi is (hopefully not ) going to sacrifice her love for her family especially bro, once again...so he proposed to her coz he loves her and he wants to take her permission before going to her dad..he still believes simi jst wants to test him and so he is all ready to get a job and house for himself...so he has no idea abt the sacrificing thing and all..so his proposal is infact appropriate right now..and forget the proposal atleast i think we got to see a meaningful long scene between them ..they spoke for a while clearly ..tht was wht i loved abt the scene..simi atleast was vocal abt her feelings and i hope she now understands the depth of abhi's love for her and doesnt get swayed away by anita's rubbish..
so though in the near future there is going to be trouble as we all r predicting coz the sacrificing issue and i think abhi will be angry with simi and he has full right to do so...and i am hating simi for it right now...bt i cant overlook yesterdays scene amidst all this..for me it was a beautiful..romantic..quite meaningful scene and as usual abhi was adorable.. 😊

For me Tas, her words were meaningless in light of all her desires to sacrifice herself for her ungrateful family. Here is a guy who has gone out of his way for you - he has protected your secrets, made sure there is a smile on your face, wanted to marry you despite knowing he could get a much better looking girl, tried to get you out of one horrible marriage, shown up with 10,000 Rupees when you needed it, got back your father's business so you will not be destitute and gone on his knees to propose to you with what looks like a pretty nice ring and promises to have a house and job for you if that it what it also takes.

PHEW!! If she doesn't want to marry him, heck I will and so will all the women on this forum. Abhi has is very own harem. The character of Simi is not appealing at all nor her words when you realize she is so blinded by her family and their needs. Last week I liked the fact that she thought about herself and her willingness to make herself happy and thought, OK, we now see a change in Simi this story is finally moving forward, and then this week, it's the same old same old.

What's worse, it's all of this sacrificing that Abhi admires and has lead him to want to marry Simi.

Think about it, if her family is all that important and she wants to stall her marriage to Abhi as a result, then why doesn't she also stall her marriage to Nukul? She has to give her answer this week. Will she say "no" to him? She's not doing much in this area, she's there, meeting with him with her father. Why doesn't she say "no" to her father and say, I can't marry now, I have to fix all the problems in the house?

That's what I don't like about the storyline - treating people who do what is right and rewarding behaviors that are wrong. That's not just in my eyes.

Laila we all watch the show despite not liking many things about. it. Why are they still keeping ankul hanging? especially simi if he can not tell RS just tell Nakul the truth.

Simi has not gutts to tell any one. Including Anita and take evrything that comes her way.

If she will talk back to manju and show her what anuj is rather than that she is taken by Anita.

I want simi to more intelligent and realistic towards abhi and her love rather than asking poor guy to wait and leave him in limbo.

But than I can understadn we all do amke such mistakes when we have to choose between 2 one is your blood and other is your love. It is a most difficult situation simi is going thru.

She wants abhi as badly but than older sister (motherly love takes over which makes her loose her senses.
