More quick responses!
Jac: Oh goody, a nice long post as an "I'm back!" present! 🤗 I'll deal with it later. Keep an eye out for some sort of response somewhere, LOL!
Since you and Anu both mentioned how devastatingly gorgeous G&K were looking in the episode, I'll tackle that topic now! Dressed to kill indeed! But am I the only who is of the opinion that had Aarti worn that sari and blouse in front of Yash, he would've wasted no time kissing her senseless or something of that sort (TV-audience-appropriate equivalent, I mean) because seriously, Aarti has been looking extremely beautiful in her regular saris anyway...
Anu: Gah, word about Gurmeet and that shirt! I think I need to watch his scenes from the episode and catch an Ishita-less glimpse of Kratika, before I go back to watching old PV scenes. I was just watching the dinner date scene and I'm grinning from ear to ear. The cuteness just never diminishes. If anything, it increases every time I watch them in the same frame!
About the mystery hint...Rushing to Wikipedia now, LOL!

Going back to the show, maybe we are going to have some focus on AakShita too, to see a destructive side of romance..

I think that's very possible, Enid. They are clearly meant to foil Yash and Aarti, even in the way they enter into some form of a love story. If Akash and Ishita eventually mellow, the physicality in their relationship may remain, however, but in mellowed form as well because I think this the way they are meant to interact.

Hee Jac, little Macbeth! =P I like the name. And true true, it was mission seduction. But it was so in your face that I couldn't stand that scene ... I really do wonder what Ishita is up to. If she intends to seduce Yash ... *gasps in horror* I would become the gundi with the hockey stick and chase after her!

The first time I saw Ishita instigate Akash while they were still in that hut outside the SM, the first image I got was Lady Macbeth, and I mentioned it in the DC. 😃 She seems mild on the outside but she's very aggressive, perceptive, cunning, and result-oriented. She's going to be a handful this one. Coming to Yash, I do think she idealizes Yash as the consummate husband. From those little glances she stole at him while they were sitting in the mandap, she clearly saw him as the fulfillment of all her dreams and an end to years of rejection. Then, her dreams evaporated when he left her in the middle of the rituals and later explained why he was going to marry her in the first place. She's seen how affectionate and in-love he is with Aarti. Now, she sees their pictures together and hears how romantic he is when he's loopy with alcohol. I wouldn't be surprised if there are some lingering thoughts in her head that Aarti is getting what she hoped to have with Yash. I don't know if she'll make an obvious play for Yash. I'd be aghast if she does. Knowing Ishita, if she does make a play for him it may be so subtle Yash probably wouldn't know what she was trying to do, lol. But I won't be surprised if there are more attempts of what we saw today with Akash where she wants to create her own version of a "Yash"/Ishita marriage with Akash playing the part of "Yash".

Borna! 🤗 You know I had to drop a little gift on my way in. Will definitely look out for your response. I'll stop by your review thread and post my thoughts when I see the episode later today. So we can catch up either there or here.

But am I the only who is of the opinion that had Aarti worn that sari and blouse in front of Yash, he would've wasted no time kissing her senseless or something of that sort (TV-audience-appropriate equivalent, I mean) because seriously, Aarti has been looking extremely beautiful in her regular saris anyway...

A resounding "I agree" on that. You know how Yash is. 😳

@Jac Agree with you, am pretty sure, romance will not be neglected when it comes to Aarya. Maybe CVs were still looking for a good timing where it will come out naturally. We'll just have to give them time I guess...
But as the story progresses, I feel that future romance is actually cooking. The reason why they showed Ishita wearing Aarti's saree and Yash as drunk.

As what I've said to DC, maybe when Yash pacify/console Ishita about the rude act of Aakash, Aarti will sees them and become jealous, thinking that Ishita intentionally borrowed Aarti's saree in order to seduce Yash. Yash will try to defend Ishita from Aarti's wrong assumption. That will starts their quarrel ending up to romance... 😳

BTW, don't get me wrong everyone. Only the Ishita-Aakash seductive scene were the one that just irks me but when it comes to their story, i find it interesting though..

Borna, you did not just use that phrase. Forget about the rest, I think I would lose my senses if I ever see Yash kissing Aarti, the kind of kiss that is acceptable on TV! In already getting butterflies in my tummy while reading that line. But I am sure if Aarti had worn that sari and that blouse, Yash would have lost all control over himself. <3

Jac, yeah I did see someone mention at the DC that you came up with that title and I do think that it suits Ishita to the T. She is one vengeful lady and it was less of a danger in the past since she had made it obvious. However, this vengeance is going to be intensified now, since she is privy to what Yash feels and does for Aarti and what's worse is that, she may not openly show it and that would be even more destructive. I don't think she would make her feelings for Yash obvious though (that is if she even decides to go after Yash). She might try to get both Aakash and Yash, though she has her eyes set on Yash? The minute Yash or Aarti catches on this, she would be in for some trouble. But would you really blame her for wanting Yash? =P

Just a random thought, I would love to see a YA moment whereby Aarti is suffering from morning sicknes and Yash is assisting her. The last time such a thing happened, both were not entirely comfortable. I would love to see the change in them. We could always have Aarti leaning against Yash's frame because she is fatigued after puking? ;)

Some people are loving, like...really loving Akash-Ishita, their personalities, and their scorching "romance" which is interesting to me, to say the least...from some stuff I've read, it's like Ishita is "more interesting" or "better" than Aarti because the former is more of an aggressive/assertive go-getter or something, I don't know exactly what. And Aarti is what, then? Sometimes I get the impression that kindness and generosity are equivalent to being "goody-goody" with all negative connotations attached, and that confuses me. There is a difference between being "meek and mute" and "kind and generous," right?
There is one part of me that feels that Yash-Aarti are trying to incorporate Akash-Ishita into the family by pushing them a little too hard, but then I think about what Akash and Ishita were griping about before they stepped into SH, and I think, "Well, aren't Yash-Aarti trying to pave the way and welcome their new family members while everyone else isn't doing anything at all?" That part of me thinks that Yash-Aarti aren't being as excessively "mahaan" and/or condescending as some viewers are opining after watching yesterday's episode...Nobody else in the Scindia family is taking any steps to do anything, so Yash-Aarti are the only proactive ones right now. Does that automatically put them in the "trying too hard, being saintly and condescending" category? Or does that put them in the "trying to provide comfort and positivity, while trying to make up for the rest of the family's lack of warmth" category? (Should I stick these questions in my post out on the MF as well? Someone can steal them and bring them up elsewhere if they would like to prompt a discussion...I have glimpsed some divided opinions about the supposed "mahaanta" factor and this is something that has confused me time and time again. Thank you EK and BT for warping the connotations associated with that word. *groans*)
Jac: Will have to catch up with your responses later, but your post about Ishita, while evoking a bit of sympathy again, is also making me nervous. Very nervous.
MJ: Cheers to your optimism, buddy!
Anu: No, why are you here nowww? Bad timing! 😆
*grins* I did use that phrase! 😛 And I don't know how I'd feel if Yash and Aarti ever get to a kiss on the hand or on the cheek...Sometimes I feel like their love surpasses all of those physical gestures of expression, and then I feel like they are simultaneously above such desires while being very much subject to feelings of sexual attraction. Contradictory? Those are two aspects of love that should hopefully be balanced in a relationship, I think...
I don't know if Yash would've been more...active about it...or if he would've just stood there looking at Aarti like he does every so often, with desire written all over his body language but that beautiful combination of hunger and tenderness in his eyes...But we can think about that later if nothing happens this week, haha. You just sent me into nostalgia mode with that reference to the lemon shower gel scene! Aww. I would love to see a scene like the one you jotted down!
And as for Lady Macbeth...She is scaring me. She irritates me already, and now she's scaring me after all I've read about these speculations regarding her turning into a sort of Menaka. I keep oscillating between feeling sympathetic and feeling irritated when I think about Ishita! LOL. I wonder what the Mittals have in mind...

RESERVED. For later. Would reply to your post once I get home Borna. If my mentor catches me using my phone, I am dead meat! But your post is very very interesting!

You should post the questions in the MF but I would warn you, there would be some people who won't agree with you at all. Bug that doesn't mean you shouldn't state your POV! =)

Alright! Off I go. <3

See you, Anu!
Not going to risk posting those questions, LOL. I think they're safer here, because outside of this AT, things are like chaos already, negativity and positivity and everything in between! I'm kind of in limbo about that episode now, so I'm interested in hearing what the people here in this AT have to say, at least.

IA, MJ. We just have to be patient. Oh, I like your spec. Depending on how the previewed scene ends up tomorrow, I can definitely see Ishita taking advantage, especially with Yash's guilt possibly coming to the fore. Aarti is being so openhearted at the moment, I wonder if she'd get jealous right away if she does happen upon Yash speaking with Ishita. It would be interesting to see how it would go.

I find the Ishita-Akash story interesting too. There's potential between them if they are able to come to terms with the reality of their marriage and each other.

Jac, yeah I did see someone mention at the DC that you came up with that title and I do think that it suits Ishita to the T. She is one vengeful lady and it was less of a danger in the past since she had made it obvious. However, this vengeance is going to be intensified now, since she is privy to what Yash feels and does for Aarti and what's worse is that, she may not openly show it and that would be even more destructive. I don't think she would make her feelings for Yash obvious though (that is if she even decides to go after Yash). She might try to get both Aakash and Yash, though she has her eyes set on Yash? The minute Yash or Aarti catches on this, she would be in for some trouble. But would you really blame her for wanting Yash? =P

On the bold, Anu, that's exactly what makes her potentially dangerous. She takes in information, twists it and uses it very subtly. Yash is so used to be transparent and Aarti, now that she's free from the burden of the divorce lie, is also very transparent. They try to see the best in people and Ishita can easily play on this because she's very good with her own PR -- she presents herself well on the surface, which seems to reflect the surface or superficial way she currently views love and people. It wouldn't surprise me if she plays the brothers against each other again, or she plays Yash against Aarti, or she plays Yash-Aarti against the family. I think the only person who might catch on quick enough would be Bua. But if Yash or Aarti do catch on, then, either she'll change her game plan or things are going to get really bad for her. Can't blame her for wanting Yash. I'm relieved that he's all Aarti's.

Oh, I would love a pregnancy-related scene between Yash and Aarti -- a morning sickness scene, a food craving scene, a neck massage scene, a shopping for the baby scene. Whatever it is, I'll take it.

Some people are loving, like...really loving Akash-Ishita, their personalities, and their scorching "romance" which is interesting to me, to say the least...It's like Ishita is "more interesting" or "better" than Aarti because the former is more of an aggressive/assertive go-getter or something, I don't know exactly what. And Aarti is what, then? Sometimes I get the impression that kindness and generosity are equivalent to being "goody-goody" with all negative connotations attached, and that confuses me. There is a difference between being "meek and mute" and "kind and generous," right?

I've been seeing quite a bit of that too, Borna. It reminds me of the profuse amount of love and sympathy the Ex had when he just returned. Look how that turned out, lol. Just saying. Seriously, though, the quick, excessive response by some can be more off-putting than the characters themselves. We all just need to sit back and let the next couple of weeks play out for the characters first. I do think there is a general gravitation to the "assertive/go-getter" characters because they are perceived as "stronger" or more "interesting." Aarti is the good girl. She can be gundi, but she's still the good girl and, depending on the role of the good girl in the story, some may perceive "good" as "boring". IA that there is a difference between "meek and mute" (which Aarti is not) and "kind and generous" (which Aarti is).

My commentary may be a little off since I have yet to see the episode in English, but from what I did see, I understand why Yash and Aarti appear a bit overzealous, or maybe a little naive, to some. In my view, Akash's attendance at the brothers' drinking party was probably premature, especially since Pankaj isn't ready for it. Yash and Aarti's best bet would have been to start everyone out with family dinner, as awkward as that may be. Get everyone together first and then gauge what could be done next to ease everyone in. This transition with personality types such as Akash and Ishita need more time or need more deliberate planning. I think they know it will be difficult but they're trying to be positive. That's why, more than anything else, I think Yash and Aarti are fearless. Fearless because they're willing to do this for the sake of their family and their own consciences. Like you said, they're the only ones willing to facilitate the changing dynamic of the family. What is making them appear too mahaan or too patronizing is that they're "playing it by heart" (my spin on "playing it by ear"), and, in the process, they're miscalculating because they're venturing into uncharted territory with two people about whom they know very little. But this is all part of their learning curve. When I watch the episode and get a better read of their behavior, I'll be be able to give you a more solid response. 😊

I think more that being mahaan or anything, AarYa are trying to make IshAk feel welcomed. They know that no one else in the family would take the initiative to do so. They didn't even want IshAk in the house for the matter. But AarYa, especially Yash, probably feel like they are usurping someone else's rights. For the rest of the family, the dynamics within the family doesn't change as much as it has for AarYa because literally, they are the paraya ones now. Someone has to stand up to fight for IshAk's rights. And that's not all, what's the point in bringing them home if they are still going to be alienated by the family. That is why AarYa are going out of their way to do what is in their means to ensure that IshAk feel welcomed. The fact that the rest of the family is so unwelcoming makes it seem as if AarYa are being mahaan. It's just that IshAk might take advantage of this situation and try to snatch everything away from AarYa and that's when disaster would strike, which makes things very interesting, if you ask me. ;)

Yes, I do agree that AarYa's decision to bring Radha home is a tad bit insensitive but I would think that it was more for the drama purpose and the future foreshadowing of what is going to happen to the relations AarYa share with each member in the Scindia family. No one really consults Gayatri before making any decision so I guess Ishita can pick on that and try to brainwash Gayatri in the future. As for Radha opposing the decision to stay in the SM, well I think her conscience is clear. She wants nothing from the Scindias, neither wealth nor position. Of course this would be misconstrued in the future but that's another thing. She just wants to be with both her sons and although most of us are holding her responsible for the mess, don't you think she is the one who is losing out the most? Her own son calls her badi ma and not ma and I'm sure that Aakash won't regard her as his mother sooner or later and he won't respect her either, my take that is. Yes, Gayatri would be constantly reminded of SP's mistake by seeing her in front of her eyes but isn't that the case when she sees Yash and Aakash as well?

*copy-pasted my thoughts from the DC* I am still not done replying to your entire post Borna. This was addressing the 'mahaanta' bit. :)

Fantastic stuff !! 👏

Since this illegitimacy track has been started , Gurmeet and Kratika have taken their performances to next level!! They were too good in portraying different gamut of emotions!! A strong Aarti and vulnerable Yash whoz identity is questioned was treat to watch !! Aarti knew he will be devastated after knowing the truth and the way she consoled him like a mother that everything would be fine was just beyond beautiful!! Gurmeet and Kratika were extremely awesome in the friday's last scene!!

This week episodes so far were good!! AarYa giving full justice to Aakash and family but in the process , they were hurting their own family members which is understandable!! But I stick to Aarti's optimism , Yes its hard to accept and also very difficult to get back things to normal but its not impossible...right?? Very true !! It takes time for Gayu , SP and rest of the Scindia's to accept Aakash and Ishita and eventually it happens but may at an expense of AarYa's life?? Seems to me mostly like that with all the Ishita's cunning moves!! As many were saying AarYa have dig themselves into trouble but as long as they were together was it anything big ?? 😳

And yeah , Gurmeet looked smoking hot in blue and Kratika was stunningly gorgeous in her saree!!

Baby bump for Aarti ?? Have seen the scene twice or thrice and yes I do find it but may be its because of the way saree got draped!!

Agree with everyone here who said Aakash and Ishita so called "romance" was total contrast to AarYa's deep love and also its mostly meant to establish their characters and expose their desires!!

Well will be back later !! Excited for the cricket match !! Gayu supports Aakash and Yash feel insecure!! Hmm interesting !! Looking forward to it !!
