Holy gorgeouswaa (IPK Mami has come over me)! What was that!? Today's episode was fab!!!

First we get Aahil wraping himself up in some Sanam. Not only that, he has wrapped himself around her waist too! Symbolic, much?

Then he's looking all pouty and vulnerable like a child, fisted hands in his sleep and all.

Then he turns up looking like the picture of a Nawab, all Muslim tameez and tehzeeb! Did anyone notice that he has started wearing more clothing lately? He knows his wife it not into his nanga punga act. She said as much before, he does not wear proper clothing. Look at him turn all this around for her. He is trying to change himself by going to mashjid. Poor Sanam doesn't notice. That is the appeal of the bad boy ladies, we think we can change them. That's why an Aahil wins over a Rehan, the prize comes at a higher cost, after some struggle (but it rarely happens in real life, be warned).

Sanam of course is beautiful as always. She has softened toward him, expects presents from him, gets jealous, only notices him in his full attire, doesn't really notice Rehan in the room. She has gone full wifey and even Aahil noticed that! She is all concerned when he has a nightmare.

Love will be slow to develop for her and who can blame her? I would have a hard time warming up to Aahil too. But she notices his bosotted, gobsmacked expressions when he looks at her. She knows that there is some fierce tension between them. Esp. during the chaand raat, they are in their own little electrically charged bubble. Aahil is all about Latif not hurting her when the bangles come off, she is all about which way he is heading in the next moment.

Great episode, more than makes up for the spawns of nepotism who will hijack the show tomorrow to shamelessly promote their film. Bollywood really has no shame, making these poor TV shows and their characters fall out of character and story to accomodate their personal interests. What is worse, most of them reek of superiority over the TV actors when they come both on and off screen. Guess what? TV actors are harder working and most often come from more respectable (not rich) families and have a better education than the lot. The idea of a V. Dhawan coming to a dance show and telling a senior, established actor that he expects more good things from him while just being two films old (one of daddy's) is SICK and disrespectful. I have no sympathy for them, no matter how big a jashn it is. This is blatant self-promotion and to be honest, most Bollywood films are not up to par these days, especially with the siblings, kids and cousins of stars coming in. This is why they have to hijack every soap on TV while the true outsider, SRK, can do actual publicity in British and Indian talk shows. Soon enough it will get incestous even in film because brother and sisters will have to act together in romantic roles. There just isn't anyone who is not related to the anyone else.

While we are at it, let's note than a 300 pound girl would never be offered a three film lead without connections, this is Bollywood. I say this as an admirer of Parineeti's acting. This kind of good fortune will not fall on the guy who plays Latif for example and that tells you that Bollywood is incestous and still against all body types. They would never wait for Latif to make a six-pack for a hero role. Trust me, talent is well dispersed and so are looks, they don't run in the family generation after generation. If that were true, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis would produce the next A-listers.

great post
I loved sahil secens in the episode today and agree with you that ahil is trying to change himself but really did not notice the clothing part too much. great observation.i loved the bangles scene , the amazing glares, if i was at sanam place i would have been so shy that my cheeks would have turned red and she doesent even understand that he loves her. Anywayz rehaan in the background againl. wonder when these background scenes will stop i think rehaan should come into the lime light as well.
Latif was so cruel on sanam even though she did not hurt her on purpose but ahil concern for her omg i was expecting him to grab her hand and take it off himself but anywayz loved the other way too. I am so glad everyone left before sahil scene started . this shows both sanam and ahil feelings for one another

I was [:D/] at all the symbolism that was rife throughout the epi... With Aahil taking Rehan bangles off and putting on his own. The way it hurt her when those bngles were being removed... but Aahils choice slid on smoothly. They both were in their own Lil bubble... sanam hoping fr a gift from him... He feeling comfort and secure In her lap ... So much has changed between the two... Their comfort level, expectations from one another & their personal equation has risen.

Surbhi was looking gorgeous today.

SomeOne tell me Has Azhar married Asma? If not what is she doing at their place.

Hahaha! She has moved in early to replace the cook! 😆 And Gul is holding off on the marriage for more TRPs.

Thank you, the public should reject all the nepotism rather than wait for the kids of stars to develop talent. Otherwise, Bollywood has no future with dumb, uneducated star kids taking over.

Sick of it now!😡

Timeline question:
I thought they wed just before the month of fasting? (In soap-time)

So in soap-time about a month has passed since they are now celebrating Eid.

And Dilshaad is still in ICU...😕😆

Loopholes galore.

Agree about the Bollywood nepotism...many are ghastly lookers (Yes, I know talent is best, but if so, N. Shah and Punkuj Kapoor would be top-grossers), worse actors, and completely useless.
And yet talented and even good-looking actors from TV land and elsewhere do not even get a chance.

I am definitely sick of seeing all these shows hijacked by movie-promotions. I believe the PH agrees because some big name actor comes on sets😕, plus, hopefully they get some hard cash out of it.

Great post!! Loved how you've described the episode today, especially the above paras.

You've made an important point on how Sanam has changed too, since this nikaah. She used to seek out Rehaan and Lateef before to talk. Now, she barely notices Rehaan, in the light of how charged up the atmosphere is around her new shauhar. :P She is always lost in translating the expressions on Ahil's face when he stares at her, she barely has time to collect her own feelings, forget noticing others in the background. And not to mention, she is after all choti begum, wife to the nawaab and has somewhat, unknowingly, taken the role to heart. She does play the wife, even if she doesn't want to. Whether it's because of a pull towards Ahil, or it's just what she takes marriage as, is left for us to figure.

I liked that today finally they showed a glimpse into her feelings about this marriage and about Ahil. She does worry for him and immediately after waking up, her question to him is " aap theek toh hai na?". Even though she gets reprimanded by him for acting like a biwi, she doesn't take it to heart. I really do love that about Sanam and shows so much of Zoya in her. Harsh words, rough behaviors do not bother her. She moves on and learn to ignore the hate. And this goes to show what a truly optimistic girl she is. Like mother, like daughter. Ahil can try all his methods of keeping her away with his mean words and rude behavior, but thsi lady is not one to back down and take his demeanor seriously. Also, the part where she wears the bangles thinking they are from Ahil, there a small hint of a smile on her face. Contract ya no contract, she does have certain expectations from Ahil and this nikaah. Is it because, somewhere deep down she wishes that Ahil does care for her or love her, or whether she always expected this out of her nikaah, whoever it may have been with? I suspect, secretly she wants to see that side of Ahil that had saved her life and shown immense concern for her.

Good episode all in all. Razia is back and cannot wait to see her real agenda.

Aha, don't go by soap time Jayne. If that worked, Dilshad would actually age. Hahaha!

Can't agree more with the Bollywood part. I think the PH gets channel pressure as the channel is often also the producers of the movies. So, no money in it for them, but they still have to make changes to the scripts of their own shows and put all things on hold for these non entities to come and dance a gig with them before all-importantly disapprearing within a minute.
