You should!!! The show is really taking off now ... it's becoming better and better every day! 😃

I loved the episode today, thought it had all the elements from drama, comedy to romance. A perfect mix.

One scene that I adored was the scene between Himanshu and Manav. it had me in splits. Manav was so cute when the sales women asked him about his wife's size and he got confused.

Sanaya and Anuj were both excellent today, especially in the last scene. I felt so bad for CC, the poor thing is torn between her husband and MIL. Family ko khush karne ke chakkar ma pati upset ho gaye!

UB is so manipulative, she did get her own way eventually, but I think we must thank her for this, as this argument between CC and Manav will give us some lovely scenes between the two soon.

Waiting for their SR now, hope they give us a promo so that all the sensitive people can switch to a different channel or else the bashing will start again!

Me too ... loved that Himanshu-Manav scene in the shop ... the way Manav was so embarrassed, yet so keen to buy a sexy gift for his beautiful wife for their honeymoon ... so good to see a new husband madly in love with his wife and not falling into celibacy the moment the pheras are done! 😆
And loved the way he was embarrassed thoroughly that the shop lady thought he was pointing at another woman ... chose the first halfway decent thing he saw ...and ran for his life! 😆 Anuj was very good today!

Sanaya was excellent all through ... her confusion and her dilemma growing with every step ... and especially in the last scene ... her hurt, her upset ... her pain that even Manav didn't understand her and support her ... her upset at his anger ... poor Chhanchhan! Sanaya always nails these scenes 🥺

LOL ... SR ... promo or no promo, people will watch ... and bash ... 🤬

awesome post , sanaya and anujs performance was excelent .wanted to know why manav wanted to go for HM what he has planed there? the seen in the shope was very funny when the lady asks what size hemanshu says manav to call and ask the size manavs face was very embrasing .Waiting for CC's surprise in the middle of the night .

thanks diya .. u made it as Today's take ..

The way UB is manipulating I must say i wanna salute her .. how shrewd can she be ..

she is just like under cover super villain .. 😃

when CC comes to know of her true face will she confront her or sacrifice herself .. thats one of my question ... :)

Yes, made it Today's Take ... very unimaginative name ... if you can think of a better one, do!

UB is very smart and a good judge of character ... she manipulates all her three bahus differently, according to their characters ... now she has finally sussed out Chhanchhan and can play her well ...
What will happen when Chhanchhan susses her out? Or will she ever do that? Maybe near the end of the 30 days ... but by then Chhanchhan will have made her place in everyone's hearts ... UB might find her plans have backfired big time ...

Liked today's episode.

Poor Chhanchhan...UB laid it on thick how much everyone else and especially she herself was sacrificing for the sake of their HM.

The lingerie shop scene was really funny...so was Manek talking about sharing churan with Ranjana 😆

The last Chanman scene was really good...very realistic portrayal of the first tiff between the newly married couple. Both of them right in their own place and yet end up hurting each other. Chch torn between being a wife and a DIL.

Sanaya and Anuj were very good today. These two share such a good hubby-wife chemistry whatever the kind of scene. Anuj had different shades to his character today...awkward yet determined at the shop, romantic and then angry hubby and I thought he did a good job today in all.

Looking forward to tomorrow.

@bold ... I liked it for the same reason .. very realistic, no OTT drama but very true to life. Both had their own pov's and neither was wrong. A girl always has the dilemma more than a guy ... what comes first, being a wife or a DIL? Especially when she is new in the house, does not know the rules or the family members very well, and is keen to settle in as part of the family ... while for the guy, she is his wife, and everything else is secondary.

Anuj was good today ... he had more shades to display than just being the romantic hubby, and he did well. I thought the shop scene was very well done. And Sanaya can make any actor look good ... (with some notable exceptions, of course 😛) ... give her a halfway decent actor, and the scenes just work perfectly! There is a lot of give and take in hubby wife scenes, Sanaya and Anuj have got that down pat.

Diya one more thing...agree on the SBB/SBS segments revealing too much... the actual scenes do end up totally lukewarm in comparison...

But I do believe they are using the SBB/SBS segments as promotions considering they are watched by non-CC viewers...is it to lure the crowd?

I only wish they would show other cast members and Bhabhi scenes rather than the romantic ones...the problem is that the media is totally hooked on to the new CC-Manav Jodi in town!

I guess so ... to lure back the Sanaya fans, maybe? And also the younger crowd ... romance is always a sure fire attraction. They should do it on silent mode with VO's ... kills the scene in the episode if we have watched with all the dialogues beforehand.
But I think they also need to show some of UB plans ... as a counter to Bhabho and her matkas 😆

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.

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...

Chhanchhan listened to her heart, and made the decision.
and what did she get in returned?
an upset husband who does not want to listen to even a minute of her explaination..
and if looks could kill...she is dead right now...
that much anger... its like he cant even look at her w/out feeling disgusted..!


she hurt him with her action, and he hurt her with his words...


as a viewer, i am hurting for them both...




👏 to sanaya and anuj for nailing that intense scene superbly... ⭐️
