You're right- Manthan was so entertaining. Esp the grimace/trying to smile thing he did when UB announced that CC was the girl she chose .Hahhaa- good going, Auntyji. But we're on to you, even if ChhanChhan and her family or your dikra and the rest of your parivaar aren't. I do believe that Umaji passed all her crooked genes to Manthan. The rest of her kids are such simpletons.

I agree!!! Manthan is the most interesting of the sons ... the other three are dikras! I hope after marriage, and a few hiccups, CC and Manthan will team up ... she has a bhondu hubby and he has a bhondu biwi ... and both of them are smarter and sharper than their respective spouses. While CC is smart but all sugary-sweet, Manthan is smart and tedha ... they will make a great team and will be fun to watch if they take on Umaben.

While watching that scene with Uma ben, I was thinking, Manav should have shown some of those expressions which Manthan showed ... that incredulity, puzzlement, then that speculative look ki what is my mom up to ... after all, Manav knew his mom had been doing drama, but Manthan didn't ... unfortunately FK cannot show any of those emotions. so it was left to Manthan.

This week I enjoyed all the 4 episodes ...very nice, was expecting one average episode but all 4 were quiet good. Manthan is a very good actor and what an interesting character , I guess whenever we have ppl with shades of grey , we enjoy them more.

Nice to finally see a little more of Ub's husband ...he seems firm and correct, listens to all but finally takes his own decision .Once CC enter's their household, feel he will be her supporter. Regarding farhan , he is so inconsistent ...yesterday he was teribble again , in the hospital scene when they are rushing ub in the ward ...the way he was fidgeting it was like he is having a fit ...his acting if I could call it that , has gone back to the initial few episodes again ...I think he has given up also.

Have you also noticed , that so many times in this show we hear his dialogues but the camera is always panned at the other actor , I pity his director ...in the rigours of a daily show this must be so annoying and difficult.

Yep, story moved quite well and all 4 episodes were good. I felt dialogues showed a major improvement this week ...

Am still on the fence regarding UB's husband ... I want to see more of him. Am not sure whether he just goes with the flow with Umaben ... or she manages to keep him out of the loop and gives him only half-truths many times and thus influences his decisions ... have noticed this with her a few times. She doesn't even give her husband the entire truth.
This time she had no choice ... the doctor painted Chhanchhan as a combination of Mother Teresa and Florence Nightingale in the hearing of Babuji and the two sons 😆 So she had no option but to paint herself the matchmaker of such a wonderful match for Manav! 😆

Farhan ... he is completely erratic ... I said this before too ... in one episode in ten, I feel he is adequate, and then he goes completely blank. Yesterday I noticed his expressions in complete contrast to Manthan's ... Manthan displayed ALL the emotions I expected Manav to feel ... while Manav was BLANK for the most part ... except when he looked down and smiled when UB said she had found his match, CC ... I think that was supposed to convey he was feeling shy with talk of his impending marriage ... kyun bhai, is he a girl to sharmao?! 🤢 His expressions were ridiculous!!!

I noticed too that the camera stays on him very briefly ... I really wonder how the production team is managing.
Today the SBS segment was of CC's mehndi ... I want to note when that episode actually airs ... how much in advance Sanaya cans her scenes ... they should be having a very decent episode bank if she cans them almost a week in advance, as I noticed from the cooking and saree tying segments ... have a strong feeling that it's the Manav scenes which are slowing the entire unit down.

Did you also notice one more thing .. She asked srman ..is their a new manav coming which sadly means , the new guy has not been finalised yet ...I agree with you on the scenes ...I think everyone's scenes are done at least a week in advance and then it's farhan time!
I dunno why are they still persisting with farhan ...

I watch qubool hai also ,yesterday their was a new actor in place of a previous one ... He plays the fianc of the main lead's sister ... Side character , he is a newbee ...was so good ..I just cannot understand why FK is being persisted with , fine you made a mistake ... Now at least have a better lead and salvage your show ...

Srman has been openly critical of fk for some time now ... ever since the disastrous confession episode, I think ... I saw the SBS and got my hopes up 😛 ... only to be dashed! 😭 I think even Sanaya is hoping for a new Manav, from her tone when she asked that, it seemed so ... she was quite disappointed when Srman just teased her about Mohit instead 😆 ...

Srman has been with this PH before, hope he does have some news about a replacement, which is why he is so openly critical ... all we can do is hope ... Really don't know why the PH or channel, whichever it is, is being so obdurate. Or maybe it is still status quo as from earlier reports, that the PH is keen on the change, but the channel is stalling ... again, don't understand why. The reports about fk are pretty universal ... and never have I seen such persistent media reports about probable replacement. There are half a dozen shows on air with newbies currently ... none has such open criticism of any actor.
