that she is pregnant with
Sammy's baby, will Pihu hate
her mother?
So many questions...so much
drama. Bade Acche Lagte Hain is
finally moving forward, and in
good American soap opera style,
at that! Sammy Shergill (Yuvraj
Thakur) has just got engaged to
his childhood buddy Pihu Kapoor
(Sonia Balani), with both families
and lots of friends looking on
and cheering. But hang on... Isn't
Sammy in love with Dr Suhani
(Ekta Kaul), who loves him too?
Didn't they sleep together one
night? The obvious is happening!
Suhani faints, is attended to, and
realises that she is pregnant with
Sammy's child. Khush is with her
all the way, like a good friend
and would-be beloved. While the
two talk about it, Juhi overhears
and in her new avatar as the one
with shades of grey, tells Priya
Kapoor with an evil gleam in her
nicely made-up eyes. While Priya
is initially furious, she soon
realises that nobody is scheming;
in fact, she gets even more angry
when she understands from
Khush that Suhani was trying to
make sure that Sammy and Pihu
do get together.
So a classic Priya-style lecture
ensues. She explains - at great
length too - that if she allowed
Sammy and Pihu to get married,
there would be no way that she
and Ram Kapoor could control
Pihu's behaviour, and that would
make many people very unhappy.
On the other hand, if she made it
clear that Sammy and Pihu would
no longer be engaged, she and
her patidev could make sure that
Pihu did not harm anyone,
especially herself. And she
marches off to do the needful,
we expect, paying no heed to
either Suhani or Khush. But will
Ram, who dotes on his eldest
daughter, be happy with her
decision? We doubt it. And if Juhi
manages to con Pihu into
believing that her mother is
determined to wreck her
happiness, we expect more
fireworks.
While all this is confusing and
unreal, we know that at least it
pushes the story forward a bit.
And that would be very
watchable, no?
