I nearly threw up in mouth when I saw the superficial group hug - serious, talk about a desperate attempt to bring back the original foundation of the show. Don't the CVs know it takes MORE than just a group hug to bring us back to that same emotional level? The damage is done and you guys need to do something more convincing than that group hug to give us the impression this family has made some serious ammends and is working together.
I really know why I don't watch Indian shows and this one sadly is getting from bad to worse.

the group hug was amongst the siblings who infact to have each other's backs now; rather than thinking the other is up to no good. they are one so I think the group hug made perfect sense.

I'm happy they made up and hug to show solidarity as a family again after all the evil plots and acts are put aside BUT, no doubt, the writers ( what does CV stand for anyway??) have a long way to go before all is forgiven by we the viewers who want to see this united front for a while before we believe it is real!

YES, I know that and it looks super stupid, fake and totally pretenious considering there has been a dreadful job depicting the resolutions of the conflicts among them.

A group hug has to have MEANING to it. If all is fine and dandy with you, I guess it's not going to take much of an apology to please you. The characters in the show do a SHODY job of apologizing but I guess that is a family trait of the Seethis.

The group hug between the 4 siblings was out of love & affection for each other. They were trying to console mili not to be upset. To show that inspite of all wrong things happening we are together. There is nothing wrong in hugging your family members.

No, it is not but look at what family you're talking about - the Seethis that make even the Manson family look like Leave to Beaver.

I started to laugh when I read what at first seemed like an extreme comparison. But the more I think about it, the more the Tarnejas seem to me veering more towards the the Leave It to Beaver family and the Sethi parivar closer to..well, maybe not Charles Manson's cult/family ( shudder, dont mention that again) but something farther from the Beaver family. There is certainly in the balance more right with the Tarnejas than with the Sethis. Abhi is examplary as son, brother, freind and husband and in law. Anusha is not entirely in control of her clan but she never holds them hostage to her demands as Manjuji has done. Anusha respects and loves both her children. She thinks with her head and heart and respects her children enough to accept daughter in law and chide daughter. Abhi and Anita are both intelligent and both love their parents. Great kids to their parents. Anita and Poppa T have issues but no one in that family has tried to kill anyone, Anita never advised Anuj to go in that direction with his father though she was shown as ugly in her behavior with her in laws, Anita has been responsible in her sexual behavior with Anuj so shown to be mature. Certainly some major ground rules on values and behavior and discipline are in place. It's not clear why the writers portray Anita as feeling compelled to act ugly with her in-laws. Also not clear why Anita deviated from the perfect relationship she had with Abhi- a joy to see in earlier scenes.I can totally understand Poppa T's attitude but not the crude descriptions he uses, we want decency shown not ugliness though in real life this is often closer to the truth than decency. Abhi is solidly grounded in integrity and is independent in his thinking. Wish he was shown as demanding and receiving the love and affection from Simi he is deserving of.

I would like a future episode to show Tarnejas in a group hug!! They are more honest and open than the Sethis have been. Hope the writers lead up to this in a believable manner, once Anita comes around! I want to see more of this family as a family and dare we hope that both families start to work together in less dysfunctional ways.

I'm so tired of watching the unending miseries of the Sethi parivar so don't want to comment on that family for now. I don't look forward to watching this so much anymore, used to be I couldn't wait for Monday. I wish there were some resolution to all our pleas especially for Simi showing love to Abhi. Sorry, off topic but this really bothers me.

I think his character has won the heart of everyone on this forum. Of all the male characters (except one other on another show - and you can see this if you look at where I post), he has definitely come across as the most appealing.
Anusha is not entirely in control of her clan but she never holds them hostage to her demands as Manjuji has done. Anusha respects and loves both her children. She thinks with her head and heart and respects her children enough to accept daughter in law and chide daughter. Abhi and Anita are both intelligent and both love their parents. Great kids to their parents.
Most definitely an appealing mother, but she was not always like that in the beginning - she came across as rather snobbish if you can recollect and then her character was rewritten to come across as "nice."
Anita and Poppa T have issues but no one in that family has tried to kill anyone,
Most definitely!
Anita never advised Anuj to go in that direction with his father though she was shown as ugly in her behavior with her in laws, Anita has been responsible in her sexual behavior with Anuj so shown to be mature. Certainly some major ground rules on values and behavior and discipline are in place. It's not clear why the writers portray Anita as feeling compelled to act ugly with her in-laws. Also not clear why Anita deviated from the perfect relationship she had with Abhi- a joy to see in earlier scenes.
Her character was changed as they needed a negative character after they got rid of RB from the show.
I can totally understand Poppa T's attitude but not the crude descriptions he uses, we want decency shown not ugliness though in real life this is often closer to the truth than decency. Abhi is solidly grounded in integrity and is independent in his thinking. Wish he was shown as demanding and receiving the love and affection from Simi he is deserving of.
I would never like to see him demand or need Simi's love, but at the same time I hate to see him getting continually disrespected. His only role seems to be to wipe Simi's tears with his fingers or thumbs - we should send him a box of kleenex - and that has become very dull.

O, there are times when I'd like him to say to her, "Quit, with the crying, I'm going to go out and have a beer with my friends.😆"

I would like a future episode to show Tarnejas in a group hug!!
I can believe that one!
They are more honest and open than the Sethis have been. Hope the writers lead up to this in a believable manner, once Anita comes around! I want to see more of this family as a family and dare we hope that both families start to work together in less dysfunctional ways.

I think the CVs have never really done a good job with this relationship and I doubt we will see it. Each romance has been poorly written - Vicky-Neetu, Omi-Neetu (for me I'd rather chew on broken glass and watch this), Vishaal-Mili (that was such a bore to watch - the phone calls, the redundant humor - when did these two actually fall in love?😕)
