Palak ka soup & the pre-wedding Behnas

Not much happened today but the two scenes which stood out today to me were definitely the JM flashback. Even seeing them in their old attires made me SO happy!! The classic Behna moments <3 For a minute I thought the flashback must have been shot from before because they looked almost exactly how they used to back then. Secondly, I was more than happy to see the return of the 'Manvi this, Manvi that' jhaap from Jeevika. I could feel her yearning to hear something about Manvi from Viren so she brought her up again and again. Kind of felt bad for her because she was getting no repsonse from her dearest hubby. IMO the essence of Jeevika and Manvi lies in the fact that they are in each others thoughts most of the time...knowingly and unknowingly. The accident may have returned some of Jeevika's original brain cells :O

Lol Reemz even after a posting a topic about the current storyline and behna's you end up bringing up editing. Kidding, not bashing anyone :). But seriously I was thinking the same thing. What's was up with all shots. They weren't even close ups, they zoomed so much on both Maanvi and Viren. Was that really necessary?

Coming to the actual episode, not much happened, but the two scenes that you have mentioned were the highlight of the episode. Firstly Jeevika ranted and raving about Maanvi was a pleasant change and a nice surprise. I do feel for the poor girl, she doesn't even know what has happened, so it's not like she's mentioning Maanvi to irritate Viren. She's simply remember her sister. Somehow the show feels fresh again, simply because the sisters are occupied with each other in all their thoughts.

Loved the flashback, just for them being back in their old attires. No honestly, I truly enjoyed the scene, both the sisters together, like old times. I doubt it was shot that many months ago, however, if they did then this was the perfect moment to use it that clip. However, when they were talking about iron and strength all I could think about was Popeye.

Reemz me agree with u completely,the flasback scene stood out for me too and it was so heart warming to see Jeevika craving for Manvi real bad.I just want to see JM in the same screen space now...really missing the behna magic.Also agree that Virat and his mum scene could have been executed better to give us that feel of mother/son bonding and true say...all that zooming was making me feel giddy...😆.
Viren is just so getting on my nerve...when is his lawer instict going to come into this all?

Ps- quick thing about Viren. I know he seems cold and overboard at the moment. But, in fact he still has a right to be angry and hold his grudge. (I know people who have kept grudges for years for matters a lot less serious, this has only been two days!) However, in saying that if he wants to keep Maanvi out of Jeevuka's life, he also has to tell her the truth. Is this not the reason why they are stuck in this problem to begin with! Everyone keeping secrets from each other.

Sorry Reemz I'm spamming your topic, I sit here quietly now. 😊

Agree with you.

The theme of the show is being highlighted after a long time.

Also agree about the lack of warmth between Viraat and his mom.
It felt as if he was talking to any Aunty types and being polite about it.

Unfortunately, I also sense this same lack of warmth between Viraat and Maanvi, as well.
Apart from the Jeep scene where he smiled with true affection when gazing at her sleeping face, the rest of the scenes felt no different from initial episodes of the show where they were simply teasing each other.
Perhaps it is because of lack of reciprocity from Maanvi in terms of deeper emotions.
it may be that the chemistry gets stronger once she also expresses her warmer feelings for Viraat.
I am holding out hope.
