- "Aapki pyaari Aarti" - Awww, awww, awww! Kratika is such a sweetheart! So full of life!

- Since she's wearing that blue sari, I'm wondering how long it takes for all these behind-the-scenes footage to be recorded and telecast...I thought that the episodes are shot for well in advance of the telecast date. For another Zee show that I watch, they shoot 2-3 weeks ahead of the telecast date...I know from past experiences that sometimes shows aren't nearly as organized, but I feel like PV is different in that respect.

- "Itna time toh milta hi nahi hai...Jo bhi paanch dus minute milte hai shot ke beech mein main baat kar paati hoon." LOL, cute! No luxury of being on the phone for hours, haha!

- "Go Green!" "Greenery at PEACE. And ADDS peace also in my life!" ❤️ How sweet is this girl, my God!

- "Scripts jo bade-bade aate hai, unmein concentrate karna padta hai..." I like the sound of this for more than one reason: Big scripts = more details to focus on = well-written scenes/situations = more nuances that have been executed well = obviously a LOT of dedication from Kratika (and the rest of the actors, I bet!)

- "Hare-bhare gamle hai yahan pe..." I just think the way she adds that in is quite endearing.

- She likes the pond area too! Ahh, I love it, but I agree with her about all the hulchul that goes on. Why does such a beautiful place have to be in the middle of the house?!

- That smile at the very end of the segment = ADORABLE.

- Final thoughts: Kratika is so cheerful, I can't help smiling at how warm and friendly she seems to be! I bet she was drinking green tea in that thermos of hers during the interview, I saw the teabag string. Oh, and I love love love the entire set that she showed us - all those columns with the greenery wrapped around them, the hare-bhare gamle, and the brightness of the set in general. I hope Aarti gets a few moments of peace in the house as the show progresses so that we can all see the Scindia House in a more positive light (no pun intended!)

But all that said and done, Kratika's voice killed me again. That happened the first time when I saw her in the last episode of JKR...the way she changes the tone and texture of her voice during scenes like that is amazing. The pain of the character becomes so real...

Her last scene in KDMH has Naina gasping for breath, trying to tell the man she has loved her entire life (Rahul, played by Aamir Ali) who killed her. I had known about Kratika's voice modulation abilities and how realistically she portrays internal and external pain, but this scene was extremely difficult to watch because of the way Naina was struggling to speak through immense pain (and because Rahul was cradling her in his arms, in complete anguish) . The fact that there was a large pool of blood at her waist only heightened the pity I felt for Naina during that moment. God, it was heartbreaking! But Kratika was brilliant.

I don't know why it feels like in almost every show Kratika did before Punar Vivaah, her character has either been killed or she has been replaced by another actress. KZK was the only one where she actually lived/stayed until the end of the show, I think. Thank GOD for Punar Vivaah, where Aarti's not going to die! This is a blessing after all the terrible yet incredible death scenes I've seen Kratika enact!

Brief background information (to the best of my limited knowledge): Rahul (Aamir Ali) loved Naina (Kratika Sengar) but when Rahul unexpectedly falls in love with Kakoon (Abigail Jain), things spiral out of control...In the episode before this one, Naina and Rahul are on the verge of getting married, while Aman (Rahul's brother, I think) is about to marry Kakoon. Rahul and Naina discover that Kakoon is in fact Naina's elder sister (illegitimate, in K-soap style). Naina, in an attempt to set things right, in spite of her love for Rahul, decides to break off both marriages so that Rahul and Kakoon can be happy together...

*Reserved for further comments/commentary on the episode later!*

This is a bit overdue...Better late than never, right?

The "Yash ji" that slips effortlessly from her lips is just tooo cute! 😃 I love how she tends to speak as if she's Aarti, but at the same time, her cheerful demeanor is obviously her true personality shining through! She talks so much 😆 but I really enjoy listening to her and watching her as well. Every feature on her face is so expressive.

For now, I'll just say that I LOVE that picture of Kratika that you've posted from the JKR days, Mamita! The playful andaaz, as you've mentioned, is one of the things I love most about Kratika! She's so cheerful and seems to have a positive outlook about everything, but she is also very serious as well.

I love that particular picture because:

- The sari pallu is soft and simple (and I love the colors) so there's more attention drawn to her facial features and that "earthy" look which means minimal make-up (for real!)

- We can see that Kratika's long, dark, silky hair is 100% real and not a wig; this is a rarity in the industry...I want hair care tips from her ASAP!

- Those eyes of hers are so beautiful and this picture is yet another stunning example! I love how clear and bright her eyes are...
