Umaben's machinations continue ... with some almost hindrance and some lucky help from inept Sanjana.

Umaben encourages Chhanchhan to talk to Ranjana ... Sanjana almost gives the game away ... UB swiftly sends her off, and silently encourages CC to talk to Ranjana. The rest goes exactly as Umaben had planned ... Ranjana doesn't tell CC anything at all, and gets annoyed as to why Chhanchhan is stopping her in the first place.

Manav goes shopping for his wife ... that was funny and cute at the same time ... his nervousness and awkwardness in a women's lingerie shop .. and his abortive phone call with Mukut ...
All that I wanted Arnav to do for Khushi, Manav is doing for Chhanchhan!

Sanjana obligingly cuts her finger ... just strengthens Umaben's case. To strengthen it further, Umaben sends a worried Kaumudi off as well ...

Manek calla Ranjana ... Ranjana tries to get romantic again ... Manek offers to share his chooran with her ...

Sarabhais reappear! Dadi dreams of UB taking dog training lessons from CC! Not happening, Dadi! Chhanchhan calls Dadi for advice ... Dadi tells her to listen to her heart.
That's where Dadi went wrong ... Chhanchhan needs to use her brains this time ... forget her soft heart!

Can't CC see that Ranjana is quite happy to go to her maayka? And Manek is also quite relaxed about his wife going ... and so is Umaben ... CC, you really don't need to worry so much! 😲

Manav comes home all excited and ready to leave ... so do Simple and Himanshu ... uh oh ... the honeymoon is being cancelled literally at the door ... no wonder he gets so hopping mad!

Umaben plays the overburdened brave martyr MIL card to perfection ... house work, now looking after grandson too ... poor overworked MIL! While her ungrateful DIL is off on a honeymoon ... not that she grudges her that in the slightest ...
Chhanchhan is feeling worse and worse ... finally she manages to break the news to Manav ... they're not going anywhere.
Manav quite understandably is furious ...

And Umaben is delighted at the first cracks in the loving ChhanMan marriage ... finally her plan seems to be working!

Poor Chhanchhan tries her best to persuade Manav and explain to him why she cancelled out ... he is not interested. Like all men! Chhanchhan is very upset ... caught between angry husband and overworked mother-in-law ... between a rock and a hard place ... 😭

As usual, Sanaya Irani excels in emotional scenes ... till now I was feeling impatient with Chhanchhan for falling for Umaben's carefully planned guilt trip ... but with the ChhanMan fight, I was left feeling so bad for Chhanchhan, trying her best to do what she felt was the right thing ...

Precap - Manav already cooling down ... and wondering where Chhanchhan went.
Am looking forward to tomorrow!

SBS/SBB ... NO SPOILERS PLEASE!!!! Will this be just pakodas ... or something more? 😉

Boy! does Uma Ben know how to lay it on thick. Felt really bad for Chhanchhan and all the guilt Uma Ben made her feel with her clever words and manipulation. Now Uma Ben is using even Chhanchhan's weakness/ quality of wanting to make things right for everyone or need for greater good over individual desires against her. Yes, Dia this does beg the question if Uma Ben knows Chhanchhan will sacrifice for family peace, then why is she bad for Borisagar or her son, except that she is a threat to her total dictatorship.

Ranjana is too consumed with her jealousy and disappointment with her marriage to even give a sympathetic ear to Chhanchhan. I actually feel bad for her for leading a life where she has to squash most of her desires and grudgingly obey Uma Ben dictates. It will be a long road before she sees Chhanchhan as an ally to realize some of her desires.

Also, glad that ChanMan do act like a normal newly married couple. Manav's anger and disappointment was to be expected and Uma Ben thwarted Chhanchhan idea of consulting him before making a decision. Uma Ben plays her cards well. Manav's temper tantrum was well within character and again points to how Manav is really not aware of all the politics within his house and especially among the women. Looking forward to see how the young couple makes up.

Sarabhais are a welcome sight and when Dadi's dream comes true that will be the last episode of the show!!

Liked the episode overall, Sanaya was very good today and the last scene was really well done by both actors.

Umben is very shrewd , knows well to use her cards
loved Chhanchhan desperation to make everything right, sanaya was superb today

Happy for the BG it's perfect now 👍🏼
I fell bad for both Manav & CC today he was so excited for that trip but got canceled by CC. Sanaya expression in the last scene was bang on I miss seeing her like this it's been forever I fell sad when Manav said you want me to go sleep in the hall and that BG was a good use for the scene. Loved Anuj acting today he did well bang on expressions.

Ranjana tries talking romantic with Manek? 😆 Whatever it is I don't want to see there romance.

Precap: Wonder what that is about? 😲

Poor ChhanChhan !! She is being depicted so selfless here !
In my opinion wife should choose her husband over the mother in law no matter how much accommodating or scheming her mom-in-law is !!
I mean who cancels their honeymoon when there is a servant like Jigu and a skilled sis in law like Kaumudi present there to take care of everything !!
I understand the guilt trip of ChhanChhan but I seriously wished that she would overcome it and revel their honeymoon with her romantic husband !

ddFan2012's take

Loved the episode...heavy on the heart but still loved it...

GUILT TRIP!

Firstly Daadi I so wish your dream comes true…..That Chhanchhan's Saas gets trained….oops sorry sorry gets HER doggie trained!😛

This means Diya hopefully there is going to be a flurry ball in the B Fortress somewhere in the future!

CC seems to be on a heavy GUILT TRIP rather than her HM TRIP….and it's the oldest formula used from the Books of MIL Tyranny!...and the more CC sunk into it…the easier it was for her to fall further…the guilt reasons….… were gathering up from Ranjana leaving, to Sanjana's injuring herself to MIL left alone to take care of the house.

UB's plan was perfect today and now with Manav upset with CC…it gave UB the greatest satisfaction of believing she has won this round….

The Naughty Boys trip to the Lingerie stores was awesome…was it same store Manav had once been to collect his allergy meds?….me thinks it's the same…only the wares have changed from Pet Ware to Intimate Wear!😉

One more thing now that the HR is called off, will UB allow Ranjana to take off to Limbdi? I hope she packs off R back into the house…. It's going to be fun to see what Ranjana thinks of all this….that she was simply a pawn in this CC vs UB game!

Chhanchhan got to see a very angry side of Manav today……and she also realizes that Manav wasn't ready to accept an explanation….it just wasn't good enough for him….Wow and he did mention Mansi…….(for a moment I was blank about who Mansi was!)

CC sat there shocked, confused, hurt, dejected…on the brink of tears…..not sure what she did was right or wrong…..and quite alone…..her husband wasn't ready to listen….he was mad as hell….and hurt too…for she had not even taken a look at the gift….being too wrapped up in the Guilt Trip!😭

I hope CC does some introspection over the whole matter. There were some valid points that Manav made….…that it was no big deal….R could have gone another day….it's not like a family member was hospitalized….

Wondering what did Manav mean when he said, "What do you know WHY I wanted to go on this trip?...Tum kuch bhi nahi jaanti"

Also earlier when CC asks Simple to cancel the trip, Manav turns her around and asks, "what happened what is the matter?"When CC says I will explain this but not in front of everyone, he turns to look at his mother.

Sanaya was brilliant in this scene….CC's hurt, the confusion….She nailed it in the last frame…..gosh her eyes can speak a thousand words! Felt terrible today for Chhanchhan!

And Anuj complimented her with his part….…Manav's anger, frustration was enacted perfectly….

A fantastic episode….can't wait for tomorrow…..seriously Sony needs to make it 5-day a week….it feels like Monday was only yesterday!🤔

I agree so many things that we dreamed of ASR doing for KSG is being fulfilled here and I am loving it to the core!😊

Hugs

Love ur post as always!! hehe have to agree to most things!! 😆

"All that I wanted Arnav to do for Khushi, Manav is doing for Chhanchhan!"
whom do u think I should kill? arrghhh EXACTLY my thoughts and i wanted to jump off a cliff!! just show a pregnancy down the line some day and i will seriously bang my head!! arrghh... hell i am enjoying this story!! utterly utterly loving these little aspects of normality!! so beautiful to watch! and then the ugly green monster raises its head and the loyal ArHian in me feel heartbroken I never got to see them other than in my mind through FFs...

ok lament over...otherwise i will go on forever...sigh..it was an adorable scene!! 2 bachelors (for all intents and purposes Manav is not yet out of the mood and to top it he brought Himanshu who has even less experience in this field!! 😆)
it was hilarious how he bought the first thing he laid eyes on and bolted out of the door!! 🤣

What exactly is churran? i know its some medicine for tummy ache or something. but is there an english name for it?
Only other churran i know is this " churran se khatti hai,.. khatti methi hai humari kahani,. anjali di hai sabse sayali" 😆

hehe anyway that scene was hilarious!! poor Ranjana!! 🤣 rofl but today Manek upped the game by telling he will feed her 2 kulfis hehe!! 😆

I agree to the part about there was no reason for CC to worry so much cz obviously teh said couple was happy with the arrangements!! She was more like Khushi than I have ever seen as in character traits since the show started! Not Sanaya actually, Chhanchhan displayed a very Khushi like characteristic.. this dimaag chorkar dil ki sochna business and doing something illogical though very goodnatured!

Supriyaji was good!! i wanted to happily strangle her!!😆

anyway sigh.. i wrote on that other post too..by the end of the episode seeing those tear drenched eyes i had forgiven everything and i wanted to hit manav for being angry at her reasonable or not..he shouldn't have hurt her like that..cz when other people's cheeks will have tear tracks, her dry cheeks but wobbly lips and her eyes filled with unshed tears lacerates my heart more than thousand sobs could..

Sanaya Irani excels herself once again.. i ended up crying for her after a long time...sigh.. waiting to watch tomorrow's episode...

I was so hoping for Ranjana's plans to be called off and her spilling the beans!

So UB lives another day with her wily manipulation... !😲

Loved the Ranjana -Manek scenes... the guy just does NOT get it 😃...poor Ranjana found even the chooran hard to digest 😊...

First roothna/manaana scene... and of course CC is upset ... she has taken then decision with her heart ... and it is possibly wrong !

All that I wanted Arnav to do for Khushi, Manav is doing for Chhanchhan!
So true! The lingerie shop scene was really funny! Want to c more of Himanshu Manav scenes!
Sanaya was superb in d emotional scene! Really felt bad for her!
Will Sanjana really get to go to her maayka or she was just used by UB to stop CC?
