I am not quite happy with the way they showed the Saalekh Love story. It seemed incomplete. We were not looking forward to just ONE episode of Saalekh love! But guess that's all we got. After everyone saw the promo of 'Dil Jaaniye' it really increased all Saalekh fan's hopes and everyone were looking forward to similar scenes. We thought we would get to see elaborated version of the promo. But those scenes were just for the promo!

Regarding the 'milan' episode they showed, I am not quite satisfied with it. 1st of all, it was quite unbelievable the way Alekh had arranged the entire ambience, considering their financial position at that time. If he had the capacity to afford the expensive ambience he had created there, couldn't he have afforded better interiors for the house itself 😆. So that was a bit artificial and lost the natural touch which the 'dil jaaniya'' promo captured better 😳.

And they picturised it in a conventional manner. There was nothing new or exciting, except that we were seeing such scenes between Saalekh for the 1st time. A normal scene, Alekh comes close to Sadhna, she runs away couple of times, then finally he comes to her, lifts her, goes to bed and then - The End! That's all? Just 5 mins of real romance between Saalekh? I am not saying the scene was bad, there was cuteness and all that but couldn't it have been really better?

After that till today no Saalekh romance, just one hug in yesterday's epi! RS really thought this was wat we were waiting for 2 years? Even Ragvir romance scenes are shown every now and then, but no Saalekh.

I also dint like that they picturised it on an external song 'In lamhon ke'', the song is good but wasn't good enough for Saalekh. The feel you get when you see Saalekh in 'Dil jaaniye'' (esp the promo version) was not there in this song for me.

Before I move ahead, let me just request that I don't want to have any Ragvir-Saalekh fan fights here. This topic is purely for Saalekh discussions, so please don't unnecessarily bring in Ragvir-Saalekh conflicts here.

Just few simple things the creatives should have done to properly justify the 2 year wait by Saalekh fans IMO 😳 :-
1) They could have dedicated an entire episode for Saalekh, as a special consideration. They had even shown a promo saying 'Saalekh milan on 19th April', wat was the purpose of an entire promo if they had to show the 'milan' for just 5 min? Or even better, they could have shown a special 1 hr episode on Saturday 😳, like how they had shown 2-3 weeks back. And am sure that episode would have garnered one of the highest trps of bidaai!

2) Instead of an extravagant setting, they could have shown Alekh doing simple things as I feel when people try to do simple inexpensive things (candles, flowers, etc), they become more creative trying to use up whatever resources they have, and it somehow looks more interesting and romantic than using the best possible resources and setting up the situation 😳. That would have looked more natural. After having shown real simple romance for sometime, they could have shown something more extravagant as a 'dream sequence'.

3) We all are soo happy with Dil jaaniye, they should have shown an entire version of it with male and female versions with cute picturisations and sweet playfulness, then Piya oh Piya also with male and female versions, one after the other 😳 (there would be ample time for all that if they would have dedicated an entire episode for Salekh 😉)

4) Maybe for an entire episode, they could have shown Ragvir is out of the house for an entire day for something, and wat all happens on that day from morning to evening between Saalekh 😍'maybe the scenes they showed in the 'dil jaaniye' latest promo could be incorporated here'with cute cooking scenes - since Alekh doesn't know cooking, him making blunders 😳, both of them playing under the shower 😍, running and playing catching cook 😃, scenes like when she enters their bedroom, Aalekh pulling the rope and flowers falling on her 😍 'then they going out on a cycle (as shown in promo) and eating pani puri, icecream, etc 😳'then a rain sequence where both of them are in a hilly kind of region with beautiful greenery and all raining, no one around and both of them looking into each other's eyes followed by romantic scenes 😍'.oooh Godd I am getting all heated up at the thought itself 😳 😃!!

5) Adding more elements of cuteness - guys are generally naughty and cute and Alekh is also no exception the way he was playing around with Sadhna and making her nervous when they had just shifted 😉.

6) Salekh behaving with each other the way they were never before'nice and sweet conversations between the 2 of them (which they don't show much), sharing their fantasies, dreams, etc, not only about romance but everything about them, their childhood, embarassing moments, then teasing and making fun of each other, etc 😉.

7) More cute and private bedroom scenes in between other episodes as well, the way they used to show for Ragvir always.

By now we know people here are more creative than RS creative team 😉, so if anyone has more creative and imaginative suggesions for Saalekh romance, intimacy, or anything interesting related to their personal interactions, please feel free to discuss 😊...lets discuss real hot stuff that RS could have shown us to increase our BP 😳...

very nice topic Aparna...actually, we enjoyed the episode thoroughly because we have been waiting to see this for so long, but I had a feel that it was shot without much planning just to satisfy the viewers. It was like sort of a forceful incprporation between Malti episode and Anand drama...probably if CTs had to follow themselves, they would have shown it in a different way.
I 'ld have loved to see if instead of Alekh arranging, Ranveer-Ragini had made the arrangements for their SR.

Hey thanks 😊!

It wasnt bad or anything but I really felt more justice could have been done to it, considering we have been waiting for 2 years and they even released a promo with a date given for Salekh milan. So all these things really increase's ones expectations na, so they could have really done something unique, like what I have mentioned above, if they really wanted to satisfy Salekh fans thoroughly.
Regarding arrangements, I prefered Alekh arranging the whole thing for Sadi itself as its more romantic and thoughtful when the guy does it for his girl than someone else doing it for a couple, as only when a guy crazy for his girl does something romantic he actually does it with that feel and it really turns out suitable for that couple's romance, laying out the right platform and ambience for the 2 😉!

I whole heartedly agree with you, Dew. After I saw the SR I created a topic about how illogical the SR was.

How could Aalekh afford something like that? Why is their terrace so big yet their house so small? None of it made sense and what made less sense was how quickly everything went by. This is what we waited TWO years for?!

Regarding the romance, exactly spot on! Where is the romance? It's as if they were just horny and they're over it now. Why don't we get some sweet moments between them? I love both the jodis and Ragvir have had such wonderful, beautiful and memorable moments between themselves so it's not as if the creatives don't know how to create such moments.

Saalekh have so much potential yet this whole patch up thing is so stupid. Does the patch up need to be so quickly? The foursome just moved out. I'd have liked to see them grow a bit together by themselves.

Totally agree with you about the song. I would have preferred their own song for their SR.

As for the promo, I was hoping for such scenes. That would have built their relationship. Their relationship isn't fully built yet. Yes, Aalekh has realized Sadhana's importance, but what about showing it to her? Why aren't they showing each other how much they love one another? They are supposed to be like a newly married couple. Where is any of this?

I agree with some of your points. I loved the suhaag raat but the romance really went to hell after that. I'm dying for crumbs they throw at me now...like the Salekh hug.

This jodi has been oozing chemistry and tons and tons of attraction towards one another. It's a build up of a long journey they have taken together with many ups and downs. There needs to be more time devoted to these two...their romance is almost effortless...they don't need to even speak to one another...

I don't want them to move back to RV house because it makes no sense...moving in and moving out cannot be done just like that...this situation wasn't even taken advantage of. I wanted more moments of Salekh alone...

There are so many beautiful things about Sadhna that Alekh never noticed before and I want him to start noticing them and making her feel loved. I want him to-

1- Seriously...tell her how beautiful she is. Has he done that yet? I don't remember. Look at her one day, sit her down, get lost in her eyes and say "Sadhna, tum duniya ki sabse khoobsurat aurat ho, mein bohot khush naseeb hun ke mujhe tum mil gaye"...I wanna see moments were even Alekh seems overwhelmed bu Sadhna's simplicity, her beauty...

2- I wanna see morning scenes...where Sadhna gets dressed and Alekh just can't take his eyes off her...he can't believe how stunning she is...her beautiful her voice is...how deep here eyes are...I used to love morning scenes between these two back in the day...Sadhna would wear a beautiful sari and look stunning...but her entire attention would be focused on Alekh...and he wouldn't notice her...

3- I wanna see Alekh cook WITH Sadhna...that could be a very cute scene...

4- I wanna see the foursome have some kind of a mutual activity...like go see and movie, but the whole time Salekh are totally immersed in one another...

5- I really wanna see Alekh touch Sadhna's face and vice versa...I find that so moving...I used to love it in the past when Aelkh would be upset and Sadhna would always touch his face or smile at him with so much love...and the way Alekh used to hug her and pat her hair...

6- Speaking of her hair...it's about time he notices how gorgeous her hair is...

7- and since I'm so self indulgent, how about a scene where our seedhi saadhi Sadhna can't take her eyes off her man's body! C'mon now people, Alekh is smoooookinn!!!!

8- I loved how RagVir went out for kulfis and gol gappas- we need an outing scene like that for Salekh...it would be so cuuuutee...

9- I wanna see Alekh make a painting of Sadhna, like that scene in Dil Chahta Hai when Akshay draws Dimple ji...

10- WE WANT A RAIN SCENE WITH NO GHUNDAS.

PS- I want plenty of Dil Jaaniya and Piya O Piya Saawariya...

11- and yes we need a bedroom scene...don't need anything too romantic...but Sadhna never slept with Alekh, and it would be sweet to see them like that, together....maybe Alekh turns to her in bed and holds her hand...

12- Finally, I want more hand holding...

Problem with the SaLekh love story,the leads deciding to go on vacation and getting busy with another show when they must have known that theirs is an upcoming track.And also the CT's fault for giving in to viewers demand that they show SaLekh SR as its been 2 years already since they married and they gave in and ended abruptly as soon as it started.

i think the creatives showed SR only because the audience had demanded it since long..(nothing b4 that n nothing after tat).so after that they have shifted to the serious matters n they can say that they've shown more than enough b/w sadhna alekh...n always showing romance is simply a waste of time...

so if the creatives think only,we can watch more scenes....
