Sorry for the late take ... will be posting late this week ... am travelling.

Quick episode recap - Umaben leaves for yatra, tells CC to take over ... blessings for her job, but she should hide her marital status, or the fact that she is BS bahu? Why? Does working degrade the BS name? 😕

Chhanchhan starts work ... nerd man smitten 😳 CC hides her marital status.

Rupali comes for dinner, still carrying a torch for Manav apparently ... the scene was very disjointed because it was obviously shot without Anuj ...

Manav seemed to be enjoying that Rupali didn't hide her crush on him, and his brothers' teasing ... didn't notice once that Chhanchhan was not happy at all ... Kaumudi was far more sensitive. All Manav wanted to do after dinner was romance his wife again ... and wondered why she was upset.

Tut tut, Manav, I thought your hubby training was going well ... back to Lesson One again ... NEVER praise or even admit to noticing any other girl when wife is around. As for enjoying reminiscences of college days ... a big No No 😡 .. unless you add how young and foolish you were those days, and how lonely ... till you met your soulmate ... something along those lines ...
Lots more training required ... Manav just relapsed back to immature youngest child.

Nerd man falls some more for Chhanchhan.

Manav down in the dumps in family conference ... even the RS bhabhis are doing better than him and helping their husbands ... or rather, their family is helping ... But so what, once upon a time, it was Umaben's dowry that helped their family, now it's the bhabhis' family money ... same thing.
Chhanchhan is deeply upset that he can even think of wanting financial help from her family ...
Cracks in the hitherto ideal ChanMan relationship ... 😕

I cannot believe how insensitive and dense the guys were at the dinner table. And to keep harping about past 'loves' in front of the wife! They were completely clueless, how uncomfortable Chhan Chhan was. Couldn't they see? Couldn't Manav see??? He was actually enjoying this!! And did Manav have eyes only for Rupali?? (Are all Indian men like this? This happened in her previous show, too!) Now I wonder how Manav would feel if Chhan Chhan behaved like this? Oh wait! I forget! There is a double standard going on here. What's good for the goose is not good for the gander!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But more surprising was the reaction from Chhan Chhan. Why didn't she stake a claim and let a past gf, if that, walk all over her!! It seemed like Kaumudi could empathize with Chhan Chhan.
And does Manav really expect Chhan Chhan's family to help?? That he even mentioned it, degrades him considerably. But that he expects it!!! Lost respect for him!!!
Now want to see the geek scenario.
Was that the last of UB??

Updated post ... Like button not working 😕

Agree with all ... Manav was totally insensitive today! 😕 And so were the brothers ... but they were at least more concerned abut the deal. Manav seemed to be enjoying the memories 😡

And he wants CC's family to help ... Manav lost lots of accumulated Brownie points today!

Lovely post as always. The CVS had Manav behaving like an idiot today...who does that? Certainly not a man absolutely in love but I want to believe his romantic overtures were obviously because he loves CC and this 'other' person meant nothing (yea, I know what you are thinking 😉)!!

Thank you Diya for giving us regular Takes despite being busy.

The creatives seemed to have meshed two tracks together or even three...ChhanMan's MU, family competition and sibling rivalry and maybe Manthan' s angst. So, lot is happening and very fast.

What I liked most in this cocktail episode were Sanaya's expressions when the insensitive brothers went on and on about Manav's fondness for his college friend and strangely Manav too did not see the inaproriateness of this conversation. His insensitivity in the end, to even think for a moment that Chhanchhan's family will chip in financially shows how immature he still is. Of course by 12 Sep. he will be a different person 😉

Wonder what Chhanchhan's adventures in the office lead to?

Has Supriyaji left the show? Her waving at the door before leaving seemed like we won't see her again, hope UB is there in last couple of episodes. She has anointed Chhanchhan her successor and even admitted her faults. Felt sad seeing her leave, her character was so overpowering throughout the show and now she suddenly left instead of being involved in the decision making process of which couple will lead the Borisagar family in future.

Nothing more to add except to see how the creatives will bring a logical conclusion to all this and give us good ChhanMan scenes to remember this show by.

I guess there was a big disappiontment factor in watching the episode today as we all really just want romance at this point but I guess with Sanz rehearsing for JDJ and Anuj in Poland for the ad shoot this was the best they could do. I understand that they can't just show a honeymoon track for the remainder of the show but I am wondering at the need for Rupali and geek except that at the end ChanMan are going to come out stronger.
OK, having read through other posts too I'm in a defending Manav kind of mood, right now.😊 Yeah he's as insensitive as the next guy but I really don't think he understood why CC was upset because as far as he's concerned he's never had feelings for Rupali and even Rupali acknowledged that he had no time for any girl in college (although he did gloss over the fact that Rupali also had a crush on him...that was really weird for her to admit that in Manav's home in front of his wife and family). I didn't have an issue with the album because it was more about reminiscing about old friends rather than just pulling it out to look at pics of Rupali and he was more than OK to show it to CC and tell her about Rupali, college and the contract.
The brothers, especially Manthan were total idiots, especially in light of the Mugut crisis that the family has just been through. Manthan along with being an idiot is also the most astute out of all of them because he's cottoned on to Rupali's intentions pretty quickly and is even encouraging Manav to use that to get the contract (yuck!).
The financial help...I'm keeping my faith in Manav in that he doesn't really expect help but he's just shooting his mouth off in frustration at the help that RanSan got because he considers it to be cheating. OMG, I've really become a phangurl...I remember on another forum I used to get so irritated at people defending the actions of the khadoos male character...I've turned into one of them😲😳😆 Actually I have faith in the cvs, they've surprised us every step of the way so I'm sure in a day or so all will be right with Manav's character.
I can even understand...only just, UB not wanting the world to know that a BS bahu is working outside the home, it could even lead to misunderstandings in business circles that all is not well within the BS business empire that the bahu's need to work outside the home plus it allows for a sindoorless. manglasutra less CC to appear unmarried and thus lead to some misunderstanding. I have a feeling now that the MU won't get cleared up until UB returns in the last episode or two and explains that she did indeed tell CC not to let anyone at work know she's a BS bahu.
Nerd is kinda cute but I can see the cuteness wearing off for me by tomorrow max. Why is it when a woman is chasing the attached male lead she's shown to be well put together but the woman get's a nerd who's interested in her. Why couldn't nerd have been a hero, someone that Manav would view as a real threat. You have a beautiful heroine like Sanaya and a modern character like CC and you resort to a modern version of Bhanke Lal😕.
I'm hoping this episode was a one off and tomorrow the cv's will be giving us the type of episodes we've gotten used to.
