Dear all,

Just watched the show today.. sorry if this affects ppl who are still fans, but once the Jagirdars are arrested, and Sadhya & neeraj are reunited, the plot should not meander aimlessly. Introducing Neeraj's gradpa and all the melodrama was an unnessary tangent. I would not have minded if they tackled the story of one of the other sister. esp the quiet one married to the jerk (with a nightmare FIL)... those guys need some old fashion whipping

Now, there be some romance and sparks flying, instead of crying all the time "what about me?".. just shut the hole up .. both of you just came back from dead, have now ton of money and are with the person you always wanted to be with... Jeez! this crying and whining when everything is dandy is the height of insanity..

I am going to stop watching the show.. for me it is done when the evil prabha, Dk and crap crowd around them got arrested..

:)

cheers

So far, at the time of writing, I've just watched the 1st 4 minutes of the episode, where Sandhya is getting flashback of everything she went thru, and I agree - that was a waste. She's got a mix of justice & revenge - everyone in the family is behind bars, & Yuvraj is dead. Sandhya's regret @ going back to her maayka was inexplicable: she has fond memories of that place, and ugly memories of Gwalior. There's no reason to even waste thoughts on them any more: she's w/ Neeraj, and should be thinking only about him & herself, and how to move ahead. (I don't think she neccessarily plans to keep the Jagirdar cash, as she doesn't consider them family: she's just holding it to prevent them from terrorizing Yuvraj's enemies. Right now, Prabha is still a threat if let loose, so she can't even give it to Pankaj or Sarla. DK maybe, but she doesn't know to what extent is he genuine, and to what extent is he acting out of fear.

I do disagree w/ you on one thing - ending the serial w/ the Jagirdars would not have suited me, since there are things in the story aside from them. Like you pointed out, they could focus the next part of the story around Shradhya & her breaking loose from Rohit & Abha, and mix it up w/ romances for Sandhya & Shreya, and show the lighter side of things w/ Savita's & Sakshi's kids. That would give it a mix of all things - romance, humor, struggle... There is enough potential in this story even w/o the Jagirdars. If the CVs could come up w/ such a brilliant innings when Vrinda sent the Jagirdars to jail, then they can surely create a story that revolves around the outline above.

I doubt that Neeraj's dadaji was a detour - he'll be back, and try & persist, and probably try getting the help of Sandhya & her sisters. But I was otherwise happy @ today's episode - Neeraj gets an opportunity to know Sandhya's family, and they - at least the ones that are around - get the opportunity to know him. Plus he now has a place to stay, instead of in a hospital or Raghu-da's gang, or wherever. Get back running, get a job and then ask Sandhya to marry him.

As always your posts are insightful... ty.. strangely I look fwd to your comments more than the serial, esp. after Sandhya survived the evil 5 (PK, evil prabha, ear ring man, his wife and screwy yuvraj)

Thank you. I like your name for Pankaj - ear-ring man! Almost makes him sound like he's gay 😆

Well, there are 2 ways to do the serial. One is to drag it on, and make the victory take forever, which is what I've seen them do in too many of them. The other is to have a series of quick & successive victories, twists & other things, which they did in the Jagirdar chapter. Then the question comes of whether anything is left after it's done.

If this serial only had Sandhya in it, that might have been the case - just get Neeraj back, marry them together & end it. But since she has 4 sisters, all w/ divergent families, this has the potential of continuing for a while more. The other option, of course, is to introduce new characters, like Neeraj's dadaji and probably other relatives, and continue it from there. I can't say I'm too fond of that, since it would have the potential of either becoming a saas-bahu track, or becoming completely monotonous, w/ nothing exciting happening in Neerdhya's lives.

I do hope for them to show more of the sisters, even if they decide to introduce the rest of Dadaji's family.

I couldn't agree more. I like it where there is allot of character involvement. I wanna see that beautiful girl, ahh, what's her name..Sonali. Ya, the one that is stuck with that awful husband and his abusive father! Anyways, the ending of today's episode, they showed Sarla, so expect a comback and rampage from the Jagirdars, since they are not through just yet!

I also want to see more of the sisters. Infact am not liking Neerajs new family..its like another mystery family like Jagirdars. I think we should focus on Sandhyas sisters right now..actually I was looking forward to Aditya-Sakshi track..it was a nice and mature track and I hope to see a nice track with shreya and her husband also. Jagirdar track lasted long enough and I dont want to see another "mystery family"track right now...maybe nice after sometime but first I want to see the other sisters track getting on way⭐️

Agree w/ you!

Incidentally, have you been following the Telegu version? What sort of track have they been following? Has Sandhya totally levelled the Jagirdars there? Or whatever those families are called?

Thank you for agreeing with me😊
I havent watched the most recent episode but I know Shreya is at the Jagirdars and Yuvrajs mother is suspicious about Jhansi/Sandhya.
I think Aditya and Savitas husband are kidnapped. I saw 2 ladies worried but am not sure it its them.

I just want to say one thing if you feel that Jagirdars will nit do anything to come out then you are wrong. They will try their best to come out of the jail plus they are only behind the bars at present but charge sheet is not filed yet plus the fact that they have not been sentenced yet which is the major thing for anyone especially sandhya to sit back and think that she won the battle. The day they are sentenced for all the sins that they did for all their bad deeds that will be called a day and that sandhya won the case and the battle which jagirdar family started. Now they are just reaping what they sowed long time ago but the twist in tale is yet to come. One more thing the huge and big fact that Neeraj was in love with sandhya before she got married but now what he feels nobody knows because he is not showing any kind of gestures of love towards her. He is just showing friendship and care towards her at present. Sandhya is in a situation where she might not be able to confess her love to him and she again doesn't know what Neeraj feels for her now. Neeraj has to initiate in this case and right now he is confused between the old relationship with jagirdars especially bade papa who is ill and in hospital and with the newly found home and family. He is not able to adjust and show care for these people who actually have Rakt Sambandh with him. This show is about Blood relations and how they react interact and behave when situation completely changes for them. Initially it was Sandhya then Jagirdars and Now Neeraj is going through this phase. For me the show is not yet done and I believe strongly (as this show is a remake of a Telugu Serial) that they will just show and portray as much is required and nothing more would drag it!!!!!!

I agree w/ you that given what they have shown, logically, the Jagirdars will come back. But the CVs have dropped the ball on other occasions - for instance, the mystery of the animosity b/w Jayesh & Adi was never revealed (to date).

Right now, w/ the Jagirdars, Sarla seems to have developed amnesia about how Sandhya 'spared' her daughters and allowed their marriage to peacefully take place, despite herself being the target of an attempted murder, as well as on how Prabhavati herself once threatened not just her, but her parents & daughters as well. So while the serial has been good on the whole, they have let plots drop in b/w. W/ the new cast of Neeraj's family & flow, I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped the Jagirdars completely, despite what they showed Prabhavati doing.

Sandhya knows that this battle ain't over - that's what she last said to GD. Incidentally, they need to bring closure to some of these sub-plots. Did Manik recover, or die? Has GD returned to Gwalior, now that Yuvi is dead? What about Raghu-da - a thug like him just meekly accepted the exit of Neeraj, or did Dadaji give him a fat reward for bringing him to him, which made him happy (Did Dadaji give Raghu that 2nd car that they followed in?)

The rakt sambandh they showed on Sandhya's end @ the beginning was interesting, but one sided - the sisters always looking out for Sandhya, but not for each other. Like others, I too really want Shradhya's track to be re-opened, and the other 4 - including Sandhya & Neeraj - to step in & help her.

As for Neeraj, I don't think he has split loyalties @ all - even to Dadaji, he told him that Purushottam sustained his parents & him, but now, even that relationship is over. Incidentally, I wonder who Neeraj met when he delayed his return - he told Sandhya that he had important work not w/ her, but someone else. Was it Raghu-da - to get released from his service? Or more likely, was it a visit to the hospital to see Purushottam, tell him that he was alive and discuss w/ him his Dadaji? I think it's more likely the latter, but it would be nice to have this revealed. Also, Neeraj was telling Sandhya yesterday that she's too innocent - does that mean that Neeraj doesn't know about what Sandhya did as Vrinda?

As for Neerdhya, I think that right now, Sandhya is not upmost on Neeraj's mind - after regaining his memory, he's probably wondering what to do next, and he's not sure that he's doing the right thing by returning to the family that rejected his parents. He probably wants to settle down - get a job & home (if he doesn't consider this his) b4 he asks Sandhya to marry him. On Sandhya's end, she wanted to find Neeraj more out of gratitude - she can't let a guy who sacrificed his life for her go unthanked, particularly if he survived, and so she found him and was probably planning to shelter him in her home, until he found a job & new home. And she has all those nightmarish memories of her marriage, which is why she doesn't want to entertain it for now. I therefore think that when marriage does happen, it will be driven by someone else, rather than initiated by either of them.

But instead of adding so many new members to Neeraj's family, of which only Dadaji, Dadiji, GB, Anmol & Nina seem prominent, I wish they had started showing different scenes from families of Savita, Sakshi & Shreya (but for now, not Shradhya) I disagree w/ those who think that when they showed all the sisters, TRPs were low b'cos of that reason. TRPs were low b'cos of they only showed ugly situations of the sisters, whether it was Roha, the friction b/w Adi & Sakshi over her work, the distrust Savita had over Jayesh & Malati. If they were to show loving, funny moments b/w Jayita, Adisa & Mohreya, they'd be fine. At some point, if Neeraj & Sandhya are back in Mumbai, show them discover how Shradhya is treated, and have them rally support for her.

I'd like to see a more complete story, rather than just a procession of characters
