ART & MUSIC🥳
To mark Krishna and Prats's first meeting on MKAP a year ago, Krishna makes plans to romance Prats on a moonlit night. He begins with a sincere but off-key rendition of a song and Prats laughs like a drain.
NOTANKIS😲😕😡
Komal barges into KN's bedroom and decides to spend the night with her bauji ruining KN's plans for the night with Arusia.
SDS mocks Prats imitating her talk in Krishna's presence much to his discomfort that had him leaving the dining table without finishing his meal.
Arusia heats up the mockery session at the dining table. Krishna gives Arusia a verbal smackdown and defends Prats with the reminder that Prats is Arusia's older sister. Arusia prefers to hang on to her self-anointed label as Prat's jetani instead.How many times do we have to hear this? Who is she trying to convince, us or herself?
Arusia tells Prats she is most concerned about Prats's "pretend" face and quite capable of taking care of her life personal choices as they are her responsibility. She tries to convince Prats she knows how to get herself out of every pit she ends up in but Prats wasn't buying it. She tells her older sister to keep her offer to help to herself for it could come in handy one day. Yeah Arusia! We've seen how smart your decisions to date have been. Can we list one just one that proves the truth in your statements? Remember the saying PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL! You are lucky you have a sister who is like a dog after a bone and doesn't take your pushbacks seriously enough to quit. A smart person would have thought about the possible consequences before jumping into a situation headfirst. If you are so sure you can handle your messy choices you have made how come you were sweating bullets at the thought of going on a hollimoon with your assaulter KN and drugged him with sleeping pills to avoid his clutches.
EDUCATION & WISDOM🤓
Prats argues with Krishna that just saying something is right doesn't make a wrong automatically right.
Prats tells Piasiya to mind her own business and do her job instead of talking nonsense to Kesar. Kesar is no less of a human being or wife bec' she cannot deliver a baby. If Piasiya could instead tells Sakthi that his marriage is against the law it would be better. Finally, someone gets Piasiya to shut up.
Prats tells Arusia she made one mistake already and not to get in any deeper that she is trapped in a situation she can't get out of later on.
HEALTH & MEDICINE🤔
Arusia gives Komal's hair an oil massage impressing RED. It's all part of the game to impress the Takurs for now until it blows up in her face when she lets them down in a big way by dashing their dreams of a potha.
Kesar hides her bruises from Prats blaming it on her broken bangles. When will you ever speak up for your atma samaan for once?
Prats arrives in the nick of time to stop Ganti Dadi from taking sleeping pills instead of her BP medication that Piasiya irresponsibly handed to the family matriarch.
Arusia gives KN a glass of milk after she drops sleeping pills from Ganti Dadi's medicine kit into it. Takurain will be very proud if she finds out how well Arusia is fulfilling her "patnidharma". NOT! Watch out KN! One of these days she is going to start poisoning your food to get away from you and you'd wish you had not offered to marry her that day.😕
KN discloses that he remembers after drinking alcohol but seems to have forgotten after drinking milk. Just too smart to question why milk would make him pass out when it hasn't happened before, are you KN?😉
IN THE NEWS (ARTICLES)🤓
Kalpana Bora who plays Kesar on MKAP is leaving the show by year's end for personal reasons. Will this role be recast? Does this mean there will be a tougher Kesar who is going to give Takurain a run for her money, putting her in her place, taking charge of the household and changing the dynamics in the Takurs family by sending Arusia by fighting for her rights as KN's wife.
Future tracks could see Krishna earning a living after Prats makes it clear she does not to get preggies while they are financial dependent on SS and KN. Does Krishna spur into action to meet Prats's condition? Is the birth of Vachan in the not too distant future?😳😲😉
Arusia is given a reprieve and saved from becoming KN's mistress by someone other than Prats acc' to the actress playing the role. Kesar maybe? It's about time she fought back for something that is her right, though fighting for KN does makes one wonder.
TRAVEL😊
Prats makes a trip to maike to ensure them she will get Arusia out of the mess she is in. Prats please learn to mind your life first and let your maike members fix their lives on their own. It's not like you are their only child. They do have Adarsh and his wife Komal to figure out how to work out their family problems. Your behavior is only enabling them to live in their pareshaan world feeling helpless and hopeless at every turn.
Komal returns to her sasural bearing gifts and sweets after a night at maike where she inadvertently saves Arusia from KN's clutches.
SS orders SDS to make travel arrangements for KN and Arusia to go on a honeymoon.
KN is excited and ready to pack his bags and Arusia's for their hollimoon trip with SS and SDS's blessings. He is ready to do anything he never dreamed he would as a Takur mard. Desperation for a roll in the hay with Arusia is making him behave out of character. Wonder what Takurain would have to say to that if she evern caught KN doing womanly activities....packing his mistress's luggage.
FAMILY😕
SS and SDS take turns taunting Krishna for Prats's visit to maike and her continued standoffish behavior with her sasural while praising Arusia for mingling with the Takurs like one of them. For a chaalaki Takurain, you fail to spot that this new intruder is like you into playing sly games and is taking you Takurs for a spin and you don't even know it. Prats figured your evil ways earlier on and decided to keep her distance. She has seen how you mock your own son in her presence na?
Saxes give Prats the pareshaan talk during her weekly visit. She promises to get Arusia out of the mess with KN with Krishna by her side. Naina voices her concern about how this might affect Prat's marriage. Prats assures her that with Krishna by her side all will be well.
SS openly fantasizes having a potha play with his beard and learn to count. SS is building castles in the air again. We know it's going to blow up in his face. Seems like Krishna and Prats will be the ones to give him a potha once Krishna earns his living. Will SS switch loyalties at that point and put Pratigya Devi on a pedestal?
Adarsh promises Komal he will get off his tum-tum and on his feet again very soon. He promises to take her to out for the evening and fulfills all her heart's desires soon.😃
FOOD😃
Baba Bandar enjoys a banana for a good dose of carbs and potassium but forced to listen to his parents' mockery while eating his snack.
KN feeds Arusia rasmalai as a prequel to a SR but his plans go sour.
SDS praises Arusia's job as cook while continuing her mockery of Prats in Krishna's presence. Does Arusia even know how to cook? Or have the Takurs' palette undergone a big change recently.
SDS hand-feeds Arusia a few treats with motives of her own hoping for a potha courtesy of Arusia the incubator.
FASHION😉
Komal demands her necklace be fixed and stomps off when Shamu asks Naina to give hers. Komal refuses to wear hand me down from Naina. A pure Takurain! Even after all these months married into the Sax family she demands what she believes she deserves. Now that's prosperity thinking in practice!
KN sprays air fresheners around his room and on himself hoping to entice Arusia as she ate her rasamalai. Does KN know that they sell perfumes for humans and he doesn't need to spray air freshners on himself? He can afford to get a bottle of good cologne at the store. What's next? Dog soap for his bath and cat food for snacks?
Komal brings outfits for sasural from maike that are rudely rejected by them. So much for sanskaar, gratitude and grace when a gift is offered with love.
CLASSIFIEDS ~
CRIME REPORTS😡🤢
KN forces himself on his wife who is asleep on the cot on the terrace.
FINANCE/BUSINESS
Shamu tells Naina that recent unexpected medical bills have put them in a financial bind. He wants to liquidate his fixed deposit saved for a rainy day like the present moment but Naina talks him out of it with assurance that she has saved money to tide them over for now.
RELIGION & SANSKAAR😊😊
Arusia approaches Ganti Dadi to touch her feet but the old matriarch of the family pauses sipping her tea and waves the fake bahu away like flies at a fruit market.
Takurain can't say a word in protest at Ganti Dadi's gesture, so instead compensates for it by blessing her with the "phulo phalo" phrase.
KRIYA'S "SAAT" SPECIAL MOMENTS😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
Krishna is pleased Prats walked away from touching Arusia's feet. She argues with him about Arusia's marriage being illegal. He tells her to accept the marriage and live in peace like everyone else.
Prats tells Krishna she can't see her sister married to a married man. He reminds her she is thinking about a sister who doesn't give her a thought.
Prats is totally oblivious to Krishna's mood. He tells Prats is a dutiful daughter helping her maike as well she should. He, on the other hand, has no parents or family, no wishes or desires, so she should go ahead and do what she wishes. Finally Prats notices that Krishna is bothered and upset. Slow processing in action like old times. As usual she is going on her trip of Pratigya ban jayeeee to save Arusia's life.
Krishna gives Prats the cold shoulder. Prats wonders why he behaves this way whenever she goes to her maike. He speaks from his heart and expresses his pain when he gets an earful from his family mocking her.
Krishna addresses Prats's indifference in his home and reminds her his home was hers as well, she is capable of managing both her sasural and maike matters if she puts her mind to it. She promises him he will not have no reason to complaints about her on that score. A pleased Prats gives Baba a hug that brings a smile to his face.
Krishna surprises Prats with a hug from behind when she wants into their Lubalub Paradise lit by moonlight. But after Krishna feels rejected by her preoccupation with other matters, she appeases him. He brags about the praise he has received as a child and wants her to promise not to laugh at him, Prats agrees. Baba wants to sing a song especially for his Babu. He clears his throat in preparation and sincerely belts out an off-key song that gets Prats laughing out loud.He punishes Prats by showering rose petals on her face and delighting in the moment. He then removes the few petals still on her face with his lips. Krishna and Prats proceed are lost in each other's eyes adding another nugget to their sweet memories.
COMICS😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
KN has a "private" chat on the terrace with Baba as Krishna vents his frustration and KN pesters him to give him some pointers on how to woo Arusia.
Krishna asks KN who am I? Am I someone sitting on the Himalayan mountains or if he is a Bengali Babu?
He tells KN "Did I get a diploma on how to woo an educated girl, don't bring Prats's name into it?"
Baba pretends to consider the request seriously as he paces on the terrace and gives KN the slips and heads downstairs to his bedroom.
KN complains to SS about Komal camping in his bedroom with Arusia and gets ordered to spend another night on the terrace.
Prats scolds Piasiya for giving Ganti dadi the wrong pills and Ganti Dadi reacts in shock.
Krishna tells Prats he has received praises as a child for his singing before he belts out the off-key song.
The faces Ganti Dadi makes after she waves Arusia. Her open disgust at Takurain's fake sweet "pulho plaho" blessings.
