Monday I decided to go with the flow and today I decided to stop thinking about how fast the dynamics of relations in the house are changing. This apart I am enjoying each episode as is...Sanaya was right it does leave a smile on my face.


Today was a UB and Chhanchhan day and finally the two main characters in this show have joined hands and are moving the story forward. Not only UB, Ranjana and Sanjana seem quite shaken by Kaumudi's attempt to leave the house...they are ready to pitch in with the chores so that Kaumudi can get some time off.

UB is understanding the follies of her ways ( that was a quick turnaround in Mahila Mandal or Chhanchhan just has to mention family "izzat" or broken "mala" nowadays and UB sees the light 😆) The restaurant scene of UB and CC was really nice and the small cute ChanMan scene. Good they decided to implement a two pronged approach. All those who guessed Biwi#1 plot seem to be right.

Sanaya was super cute in the Chhanchhan-Mayuri scene...could not stop laughing...

Yes, slowly Mayuri is turning dark but hope they do give us a reason for her having a relation with Mukut...don't want her to be just another vamp after money...CVs are you listening, go for something different.

It will take some getting used to, to see UB and Chhanchhan bonding...but my question remains is this a temporary truce to save Kaumudi-Mukut marriage or UB is turning a new leaf and will give in some but not go all the way yet.



Me too .. have decided to stop worrying about the show and TRPs and just enjoy it as long as it lasts. And it does leave a smile on my face every night 😃

I had thought when the show first started, that to make it a really different saas bahu saga, it would be fun if UB and CC joined hands at some point and started dealing with problems together, and the conflict came only in their methods ... I didn't expect it to happen so soon, that's all! 😛

Liked your point about RanSan pitching in with the chores ... Ranjana was happily using Kaumudi's goodness to get out of work, even when Umaben tried to balance the work ... she had contributed to Kaumudi not having enough time for her husband. Shock for her too, to think that if Kaumudi does leave, she will have to do more of the work! 😆

I think it was more CC's mention of family izzat that turned the scales in the Mahila Mandal ... CC has figured out how to press UB's buttons 😆 But I also want UB to pitch in with her experience, after all, she has been shown to be a shrewd judge of character earlier ... it should be a balanced equation between UB and CC in terms of ideas to get rid of Mayuri. And Mayuri should not be all black ... that would be too simplistic a solution! Just hope she has a better story than Sonali and Thakkar bhai did.

Diya...last part in bold please...we are hugely deprived of ChanMan scenes..this week we probably had just 1 small legit scene of them.

Other than that...loved today's episode though UB's turnaround from an evil, scheming saas to an almost apologetic one today has been super fast. At this rate, I am expecting her to be singing praises of Chch by next week just like Manav. Also after the high drama in the past 2 episodes, today was more lighthearted ...so good balance.

They are handling this Mukut-Kaumudi track well...trying to change both of them. Liked how Ranjana thanked Chch and supported Kaumudi.

Mayuri seems too good to be true and i felt that she had already figured out Chch's motive in meeting her . It does seem that she will turn negative to make Mukut realize his mistake and go back to Kaumudi. I do hope they don't take the trapping for money route here..instead just show that its easy to be a perfect girlfriend and lover when there are no responsibilities but when there are kids and a home to run, maintaining the perfect balance between being a wife, mother and DIL is not easy for a woman without the support of the husband and family.

Supriya and Sanaya really make an adorable saas- bahu jodi when they show them like they did today




There is a topic on the need for romance ... high time, I say 😛 What's the point of having such a cute jodi if you don't highlight them? ChhanMan scenes will slow down the drama quotient too ... add the balance to the show. They can add some friends' scenes with Simple- Himanshu to add some humor as well ... although Sanaya-Supriya scenes were good enough for that - they were so cute as the plotting planning duo! 😆 But they still need to just to slow down the pace a tad bit!

Umaben's turnaround is the problem ... too much too soon. Again they can slow that down by adding some introspection on her front ... or some talk with Babuji ... don't turn her from black to grey to white so quickly! Even just add some flashbacks to show what part of CC's words really helped to change her mind ...
But I would much rather have a saas bahu jodi like this ... who are on the same side, and only squabble about their methods in an amicable way, both respecting the other but still not always seeing eye to eye. Both have great comic timing and would be wonderful in light hearted tracks.

Agree with you about Mayuri ... it would be good if they showed that ... easier to be girlfriend by far than to balance being wife, mother and DIL ... especially in a joint family!

Wanted to add that I liked what Chhanchhan said today that in an EMA why is it only the woman's fault, the man is equally responsible...Also, shaming Mayuri in public is not the solution to this problem.



Very true ... am glad they brought that up. Even more the man's fault than the other woman's ... he is the one with commitments and responsibilities ... if he is weak enough to stray, then the onus is more on him! Unless he realises the error of his ways, getting rid of one Mayuri will not be enough, there will always be another one ... the root cause to be addressed is his unhappiness in his marriage and the solution also lies only there.

Unfortunately the problem in our society, and in many others, is that people always tend to blame the other woman and give her a bad name, while the guy gets off scotfree. It's always - she must have trapped that poor man ... if the man is willing and weak enough to be trapped, it doesn't say much for his character, does it? Am glad Chhanchhan nixed that plan in the bud.

Lovely post Diya.

A nice episode...what caught my attention was that UB sounded pretty sophisticated whilst saying the word "traditional"😆.

Perfectly stated...quite an Alliance. Hopefully Teamwork pays...UB & CC...One wanting to get the husband on track, the other wanting to change the wife. Quite a Jodi!

Hey Diana! 😃 What a jodi! And the perfect solution lies in combining the two plans ... so it's a good alliance, even though a unlikely one!😆 This is an Indian soap, so it will work ... in real life, things may not be so easy. 😛

Another thing that I liked was CC mentioning about the matter staying within the family. Its best not to get outsiders involved.
Absolutely ... why air dirty linen in public? She was very right there ... defaming Mayuri would inevitably mean some criticism of Mukut as well ... and of the BS family too.

Doc Mayuri seems like a Superwoman. Is she for real? I had started to like her a bit...but today she sounded a bit fake...

Do they teach cooking as well at med school? LOL UB can get memory pills for free for life along with fine dining!

Yes, too perfect ... too good to be true ... although music and medicine can go together, but cooking perfectly too? That too, multiple cuisines? The mind boggles at that one! 😆

Precap - I hope the makeover is not just about change of appearance.

P.S.
And now that the word "waaris" was mentioned...me hopes ...Manav dikra raises this topic with CC...(behind closed doors ofcourse) so that we get a proper dose of romance!😉
Yes pleaseee ... with icing and cherries on top!!! If nothing else, the bahu vs wife debate should spur CC on to determine she has to be a good wife first, with all that it entails ...*ahem ahem*
And if Manav dikra feels his brother was at fault for not appreciating his wife enough, and decides he shouldn't make the same mistake, so much the better! 😆 After all, they should learn from the mistakes of others 😉

Happened to discover today afternoon.

Don't know how many of you know this, but actor playing Mukut is playing the father of a rich girl and husband to a VERY ULTRA MODERN WOMAN on Life Ok. Show name Gustakh Dil!

So how long is Mukut going to be on this show?? .Is that why they are zooming forward on a fast-track basis?




I saw that too ... was wondering how he is managing both, as his track has just opened up in CC. I doubt he will leave CC ... isn't he a stalwart with Optimystix as well? On Gustakh Dil, he's not the father of the lead, I think ... so may be a cameo there. Character actors can usually manage two soaps quite easily, as they are not required all the time, unlike the leads.

Another wonderful episode.. Loved UB today.. She was really cool... Loved how Manav got all romantic and forgot his mom is sitting next to him..😆..Mukut is acting like a love struck teenager..🤢.. I think this Mayuri chick is a very cunning lady..Otherwise why would a pretty young lady like her fall for someone like Mukut..Is she really in love with him? Oh, phlease.🥱.. Kaumadi was looking very good in the precap.. It was a bit rushed but a wonderful episode... Wonderful post Diya...



Thank you! 😃
You're very right ... Mukut is acting like a love struck teenager .. he can't see anything wrong in Mayuri and thinks she is perfect. So I guess the way forward is to burst his bubble ... Kaumudi is an excellent cook, so I would really like to see Mayuri slip up on that one ... that line about her cooking multiple cuisines got my antennae up. Either that or her being a great mom, and Mayuri not able to handle the kids ...

Yeah Diya he is not the father of the lead. Probably the Uncle...I did go back and check. That scene that I watched was misleading. Sony is quite okay with their cast taking up other projects, so I guess it should be okay. Just hope his track doesnt end anytime soon. Its an interesting one that adds spice to the show.
