Hi everybody. My name is Fia and I'm new to this forum and also to this show. Even thought I hadn't really followed Meri Bhabhi initially, I did have a slight idea as to what the story is and who the characters/actors are. But only recently have I started to properly follow it. Many of you might have already guessed the reason behind my sudden interest in the show. And yes indeed, it's Kunal/Ravish ☺️ . But apart from how adorably cute the new guy is, I like him more for his effortless portrayal of Kunal, and that too in his very first show, which is commendable. Not only him, but all other actors/characters are really interesting and doing a great job. Even the notorious Jaya and Kamini manage to keep me hooked all through their scenes. I firmly believe that in order to make a show interesting, the supporting characters plays a more vital role than the lead characters. Because the lead characters are obviously the main thing that attracts an audience, but the thing that sustains an audience are the supporting characters and their parallel stories respectively. Without them, it gets hard to take a daily soap beyond 100 episodes.

The second good thing about this show is that almost all the characters are realistic and relatable in one way or another. Every now and then, we see them going through a certain situation and I'm sure most of us would think or react exactly along the same lines as them. Because not only in the reel world, but people like Shraddha, Bobby, Kritika, Zorawar, Amrit, Anand, Ashish, Jaya, Kamini, Ishaan and Kunal do exist in the real world as well.

Even though I am loving Kunal and Shraddha's amazing chemistry and adorable scenes, I feel that the romance track between them is being rushed with. Not that I'm complaining, I love to see the two interacting and sharing such a good bond, but I don't want love to jump in the way too soon and ruin the beginning of something so beautiful. It's quite obvious that Kunal is extremely attracted towards Shraddha, but I want him to hold his horses a bit otherwise Shraddha might think he's just another pervert 😆 . His bond with Dhruv should be what starts to attract Shraddha towards Kunal. Because before taking the next step in life, Shraddha's first and main priority would be Dhruv. So she'd obviously want to be with someone who loves her son as his own. That is obviously once she considers to move on in a new relationship.

Judging by the current track, there are 3 scenarios that come to my mind of the way the story can proceed (in the near future), or the way I would want it to proceed.

1. Kunal will call off his engagement causing Kamini to go ballistic and join hands with Jaya to plot against Shraddha for her next big move, as she's obviously going to think that Shraddha is the reason her son refused to marry Aashka. Well partially, she is. And this might lead to some huge misunderstanding between Shraddha and Kunal resulting in them parting ways.

2. Kittu will find out that Kunal is developing feelings for Shraddha. This would put her in a dilemma on whether she should help her brother out in getting his lady love, or explain to him to stay away from Shraddha, fearing that her Mother might do something bad to her sister-in-law.

3. Much, much, much ahead in the storyline (hopefully) , both Shraddha and Kunal will have fallen in love with each other, and would be aware of each other's feelings to some extent, but would fear to confess. Shraddha, because she has a son and wouldn't want Kunal to ruin his life for her. Kunal, because he fears of what his Mother might do to herself or to Shraddha. And then maybe to spice up the story some more, Bobby returns. But it only causes Kunal and Shraddha to come closer to each other and their feeling for each other.

Whatever turn the show takes in the future, I hope that ShraNal are end game. They are the epitome of cuteness. Not only them, but even Anand and Kittu are a super cute couple. I didn't talk much about them as the current track is focusing more on ShraNal, but both the couples are amazing and their scenes are a treat to watch. More than the parallel love stories though, I am enjoying the overall storyline. Don't know how long this lasts, but I hope the story doesn't get monotonous and boring too soon. Overall, this show has a very realistic approach towards life, and I would like for it to continue this way.

P.S: Today's cockroach scene was EPIC! 😆

Hello 😳
I agree with you on all the points that you mentioned here. I am so glad that more people getting drawn towards meri bhabhi now. Kunal s entry has def made many heads turn this way. But yes, this show not just about a couple but way more. It's not even just about the leads. And the way the characters are all sketched out is sooo real👏 I cannot stop praising this enough😆

The best thing is, they have so many options to explore, all with extremely high potential. I too am looking forward to kittu s immediate reaction here. Cause ultimately she would naturally support them.

And I really hope they show shraddha kunal connecting at a much deeper level than the typical lovey dovey stuff tv is accustomed to these days. We saw a unique mix of baashans hidden in funny interactions, which is so apt here. And wonderfully done too. In the immediate future it ll be interesting to see kunal and shraddha s take on why he called off the rishta, digging into his past, mutual understanding and a growth in the depth of their relationship. Dhruv is def going to be a catalyst and hindrance to furthering their relationship... But all that is a long way ahead.

I personally like watching a couple go through the process of falling in love in place of post confession romance 😆 it invariably gets cheesy and repetitive. Hopefully they keep up the nature of the way things are being shown and done.

PS : Welcome to the forum😃

Yes..I also agree...I only recently started watching (a few weeks now)... I hope, like u, that they make the romance slow..let's have shraddha work or start a business...maybe kunal will help...then they start to fall in love after she is on her own two feet...in this day and age a woman shd be able to stand on her own two feet without requiring a man to justify the existence of a woman...it's too 1950s IMO to have to have a man..an educated woman with some means shd be able to make a good life and be a good role model...😳..then when the time is right, the right man shd enter her life ...hopefully kunal 😳

Thank you 😳

You are absolutely right. There are many options that can be explored. And it's good that thy aren't jumping from one track to another randomly. The show so far has been consistent and hopefully it remains this way.

I enjoy the bickering more than the cheesy romance. Cheesy romance really puts me off. And just like you, even I enjoy the process of falling in love instead of the post confession scenario. I am actually not much into romance so I like it when the confessions are prolonged as much as possible 😆

As you said, all the characters have been sketched out really well, and that's what makes the show more enjoyable. My personal favorites are Kunal, Kittu, Zorawar and Ishaan. Because they all have one thing in common, a really good sense of humor 😉

I agree. I want to see Shraddha as an independent woman, who can show people that a woman doesn't need the support of a man to move ahead in life. Basically, I want to see the Shraddha who lived alone with her son for a whole year and managed everything for the two of them independently. But I really doubt we'll get to see something like that for a long time. I don't want Kunal to help her with that, I want Shraddha to start out on her own, and maybe then, Kunal can be shown supporting her. However it happens, the love part should take a backseat for a while because Kunal and Shraddha seem to have a much stronger and deeper connection than that of developing love. A lot needs to be explored about Kunal's past and I'm sure he's hiding a lot of sadness behind that smile. In other words, he has a poker face!

Right-o !!! This part was well stated and good observation:

And yes on kunals support piece...I meant support as u stated...

Hi, welcome to the forum! I ddn't offically start watching Meri Bhabhi until around three or four weeks ago or so. I knew about it back in May when starplus released the teasers and even some summaries of the episodes every now and then, but I didn't really get interested until Kunal or Ravish Desai came into the scene. I find it really hard to believe that this is his first show, I just cant believe that he is new in this and he delivers THAT😲 type of a performance, I'm just speechless every time I see him. I love the rest of the cast as well but its just that for him being a newcomer and delivering at that level he is performing at, is just amazing.👏

Plus I have seen stories time and time again fail because there were so much focus on the lead characters and when the lead finally paired up, there was nothing left to tell and the show just goes downhill from there so the supporting characters are an essential part of the storyline and without intervening them throughout the show it can make the show just seems to lag after a while.😒

Plus the romance between Shraddha and Kunal, I love it I really do, but I believe that the CV's are giving us so much right now because something drastic might happen. I get wary when the CV's bombards us with so much happiness and cuteness because it is only used to alleviate the sadness and drama that they will pour on us later on. 😔

The three scenarios that you pointed out, I feel that they all will happen simultaneously in the next few days or weeks. From the precap it looks like he is going to call off his engagement, since Kamini already told Kittu what Jaya said, Kittu is going to realize, more or less on Kunal's end,
and suggest for him to maybe it to leave it alone as she knows that her mother wouldn't accept it. Unless Kittu can detect something on Shraddha's end then maybe she might struggle and then push the two together, but I dont think she will, since Shraddha hasn't really tapped into her feelings or even acknowledge feeling anything other than platonic for Kunal. Idk really, idk know but she might just play the fence and just stay stuck in the middle in deciding what to do. If Shraddha is probably developing feelings for Kunal (which she probably is) but please no, no, no just don't have Bobby come back just no. The only use i see for bringing Bobby back is for haraasing her or something or maybe they might bring in another character as rival to Kunal and that might make him from stop distancing himself from Shraddha and so forth.

Today's scene was hiliarious as expected and for a second there i thought Jaya caught them in the bed together and THAT would have been worse and a lot harder to explain.😲

Anand and Kittu are just so freaking adorable, I really love their moments, idk its just nice to see a married couple acting shy and lovey dovey and I really hope they make Kittu pregnant along the line. Even Ishaan, I think they could focus on him falling for someone or him getting married and so forth, I think he is adorable! I really hope this show lasts for a long time because I'm really enjoying it as well.

Hi Fia. Hope you are doing well. Remember you from DEK forum. I used to stalk the forum and I must say I used to love reading your posts then and love reading them now too.
Hi everyone. I watch the show but rarely come to the forum and so no posts or topics from me.
Anyways, Back to MB. Love this show and enjoy watching it. And as you said Kunal Shraddha and Anand Kittu are tooo cuteee😳
I completely agree with you, I too feel the track is being rushed but I also think that:
1)If it is not rushed the story will become slow and will look dragged as there is nothing much they can show at this point.
2)Maybe the actual story begins after ShraNal get together or when they fall for each other (whether Kittu supports them, everybody's reactions etc)
I really look forward to the current track. I mean I want to see Kittus reactions and how Kamini and the Shergil family reacts. Also, I don't think Shraddha will give in easily to Kunal.After all she has been through because of her insistence and stubbornness (No offense anyone), I don't think she will easily agree to be with Kunal if anyone is against them being together and at this point, Kamini dislikes her and will never agree to ShraNal.
Anyways let's wait and watch.
Will try to be more active on the forum. Looking forward to see you all.
And yeah, the cockroach scene was hilarious. ROFLING

P.S: Love watching Dhruv and Kunal's scenes. They are so sweet.

Forgot to mention this, that I too want Shraddha to become independant but I think it will take some time.
