I just love the beautifully subtle manner in which various messages are delivered in this show.....today was just another example of what is now coming to be vintage Rishta.com....subtle, classy, understated wit and always some food for thought....and I find myself falling more in love with the characters each time.
EXACTLY! .. thats what I hav always always LOVED abt this show..and u kno, its everytime..and the best part is, even very sensitive and slightly controversial issues and social messages they are able to deliver soo smoothly and so subtly .. like this one had the bar dancer issue, a couple of weeks before had the gay issue..and even that was handled soo subtly .. and the characters are SO growing on me wit every new epi .. I mean, the best part here is no character is perfectly black or perfectly white..all of them hav their share of imperfections and different shades of grey..thats what I love the MOST abt R.com!
Today's episode had three major storylines......Huzeifa's growing relationship with Sureena, The case of a bar dancer and Isha being swindled/Rohan trying to jump back into the dating game....and each and every storyline was shown so well.
and every storyline..soo smoothly merged into each other..oh well, I'd better get used to this now..this show is CLASS APART than the crap shown on TV..u dont even know/realise that there are actually three storylines running parallely .. 😃
Huzeifa was sooooooooooo cute today....I had halfway wondered if Sureena would turn out to be some 50 year old aunty thus giving a rude shock to Huzeifa who was so in love with her voice from the get go😆....but ironically nothing of that sort....Sureena was a very pleasant surprise and so was the way they handled her growing connection to Huzeifa....a few scenes I really liked....the way she uses his cell phone to open the car locks😆, and the other scene when she comes to his office and is talking about fixing his laptop but Huzeifa is all mesmerized watching her talk😆😆.....The age difference issue was nicely handled again......random side note....this is the same girl that plays one of Asht's recruits in Seven😆
LMAO! sureena is damn damn CUTE..and no, I hadnt wondered if it wud b an aunty or not, somehow THAT wud hav been too cliched..and by now I was sure to kno that R.com is out of cliches in every way! soo ya, she was damn damn cute..and huzeifa is even CUTER! 😳😆( I myself didnt kno how she used the cell phone to open the car lock, I m pathetic at technologies of any kinds 😆😆 so somebody please care to explain !! LOL..) the best part was I liked how she goes "pocket money kam ho jayegi.." and huzeifa echoed my emotions ther like..WTH?! 😆😆😆 and then he goes and asks her how old she is..LMAO! I soo soo loved rohan teasing huzeifa wit that "choti si umar mein lag gaya rog.." 🤣 he is such a moron!! ek toh he himself isnt finding anybody..and poor huzeifa has finally found someone and he is not letting him rest in peace .. LOL! and ya, when she is talking abt technologies n stuff the way he is mesmerized..jus lookin at her .."tum aisi baatein mat kiya karo.."
also I loved it how isha goes and tells him that if u ever need to talk abt anything then u kno whom to come to..u kno, thats what I love abt this show..all the characters and their inter personal relationships are soo beautifully developed and the best part here is, nobody forces anybody anything..its like, they are ther for each other and kno almost everything abt each other..but sum instances/incidences .. they keep to themselves .. that is the aspect that is so in touch wit reality .. 😳
Then we had the case of the bar dancer, Twinkle.....I liked the little characterization touches....the way she picked up the pen in her fingers and said she she needed something cuz she was trying to get over smoking....I liked her bindaas attitude...defiantly standing up for her self-respect.....especially loved her outburst at Rohan in the lobby....where she talks to him about loneliness...very well enacted....and I loved the way it gave Huzeifa something to think about and the way his expressions changed as he listened to her speech there.....this is one thing I really love about this show....those little touches they add of these cases always giving one of the lead characters some food for thought and giving them perspective👏👏👏.......on a different note, I cracked up so much when she told Rohan to keep quiet cuz she was talking to the BOSS i.e ISHA😆....Rohan's expression there was just hilarious🤣
I LOVED it..the case was brilliantly executed..VERY classy..and not at all cheesy/cliched .. I mean, I for once had almost assumed that after her outburst in the lobby, rohan wud surely take on her case .. and thats how the end wud b..abd indeed he proved me right by actually going and asking her that .. but, I liked it the way they ended it like she says she prob made a mistake in hoping for a world outside her own ..and the way she goes "yehi meri duniya hain.." and then when she invited him inside, he is like "woh meri duniya nahin hain.." but ofcourse rohan mehra learning to harbour some emotions inside him and learning to show them too .. 😆 so he goes and meets her again!
ok..some food for our thoughts, do u think guys that u kno..wud really want to marry a bar dancer? I mean, ok I kno tht this is a fictional show wit fictional characters, but somwhere these social messages given are so real that u are left wondering abt them even after the show ends ..
and @ bold : LMAO! I kno..I cracked up SO much too..I actually rewinded that part twice to watch it again .. rohan's expressions were PRICELESS 🤣
Poor Isha and her soft, gullible heart😆😆.....loved her storyline today....I had a feeling the very first time she gave the guy the money only that she'd be swindled.....but they throw you off a bit in the middle when the guy says that he'd been looking for her to return the money since two days...lol....btw, LOVED how she sprayed him with pepper spray in a fit of indignation😆😆.....but ultimately our first feeling turned out to be right and the guy DID turn out to be a con artist! 😆.....Poor Isha was so bummed out....the way they showed her double checking that 100 rupee note in the ending credits was funny😆
LOL..when she gave him the money I was like is she CRAZY??!! 😲🤣 I mean, how CAN someone b soo naive and stupid ??!! LOL..I stil dunno why she gave him the money tho ya, considering isha, the very innocent and gullible person that she is..LOL! LOVED how ruchika explains it the fact to her that she is swindled .. 😆😆 and her expressions wer utterly cute in that! LOL and the way she sprays that spray on him..and here too, they had every possibility of turning it the cliched way..but they SO didnt..I was ROFLing throughout tht scene..it was SO hilarious .. the way she went on spraying and the way he was like "toh telephone company waalon ki aankhon mein jaake spray kijiye na.." 🤣🤣 BUT poor man's plan was flopped when isha actually took him to her office and offered him to get married off !!! 🤣🤣🤣 LMAO..his expressions wer priceless, now when I realise who he actually was..and he soo soo wanted to smash her face then !! LOL..and he ends up conning the old man again..the old man and his famly wer so damn hilarious .. "beta tum bhagwaan ka ghar ho.." ur something like that 🤣🤣
And finally Rohan......lol....today Rohan ji decided to start life afresh after Sukrit and jumped headlong into pursuing Ruchika's friend Mansi.....but once again, it wasn't meant to be😆....turns out the girl was more interested in his yoga instructor brother Dhruv😆.....but I felt quite bad for him in that moment when he's standing by himself at the party and is watching everyone with their respective date/romantic interests.....in that moment, he finally realizes what Twinkle told him about loneliness....and I loved the way they tied it up in the end with him visiting Twinkle at her bar....their convo outside was once again very nicely shown....Kavi acted really well today.....in the vintage light hearted Rohan scenes as well as these serious ones....the guy really does have very good screen presence.
actually, when rohan mentioned that his brother is a yoga instructor, there only I had assumed that mansi wud eventually fall for dhruv..and rohan wud remain bechara akela..and this atleast was proven right til the very end of the show .. 😆😆 and @ bold : EXACTLY..I mean, its so amazing, ther was no dialogue..not even one..but jus his expressions ther told us what really he is thinking at tht moment .. now is it the acting or the script or both? whatever it is, its FANTASTIC.. and I agree wit u abt his acting..but I feel all of them are amazing..havent seen huseifa and ruchika in any other shows tho..
Today's epi didn't really have much of a proper Rohan-Isha moment either other than this one bit when Isha is pointedly ignoring him and he asks her if she's still upset with him....so yes, an epi low on Rohan-Isha interaction but overall it was a fabulous episode still in my opinion....another great set of storylines and well executed as well👏👏......I'm in no hurry for Rohan-Isha to fall in love....their relationship will grow subtly.....as of now, I'm enjoying the subtle character developments in each episode. Great work by the entire Rishta.com team👏👏
@ bold : I cud echo that a million times .. 😆😆 I mean, I toh for one..dont even care if they dont fall in love ever..I wud adore it if they do, but if they dont..then m equally happy..m loving how they are developing the characters steadily .. and if every epi is like this one,( which I think wil b..or mayb now that the characters hav started to grow on me, I wud prob love each epi like this one )..then I dont even mind/care much abt the rohan-isha storyline.. 😳😳
😳
I mean, the best part here is no character is perfectly black or perfectly white..all of them hav their share of imperfections and different shades of grey..thats what I love the MOST abt R.com! I really like that about the characters too, Mads....well said!
now is it the acting or the script or both? whatever it is, its FANTASTIC.. and I agree wit u abt his acting..but I feel all of them are amazing..havent seen huseifa and ruchika in any other shows tho.. I think it's both....the script as well as the acting...kudos to Rishab Seth for firstly writing such good scripts and then the actors for bringing them to life as well.....yes, they are all very good....I was just mentioning Kavi in this context cuz of what we got to see with his character today....him and Huzeifa both actually showed interesting shades to their characters in this episode that I really liked.
ok..and I kno I wil b the ONLY one here looking @ this aspect..rohan-isha fans, olz dont throw chappals on me .. 😆😆 but I dont mind rohan-ruchika as well .. 😆😳 a few reasons why -
1. we all KNOW that rohan-isha are opposites and opposites attract .. cliched concept in every new serial v see! 😆
2. rohan-ruchika are WAYY too informal and cute wit each other than rohan-isha .. read : "hello mard" "hello aurat" .. and then they call each other "tu kya kehta hain.." and not "tum kya kehte ho.." kill me for finding out such subtle differences, but I notice such things yaar .. 😆😆
3. they are like a house on fire..they are a lot alike wrt their sating games..changing BF/GF every fornight .. hence ther wud b NO understanding problems wit them .. LOL, they wud understand each other a LOT better than what any guy/girl can understand them ..
4. they weirdly stabilise each other...because both of them are the type to give each other "the eet ka jawaab pathar se" 😆😆😆
5. ther are subtle differences b/w them .. like ruchika is all into yoga and meditation and good luck charms etc..which rohan soo soo doesnt believ into! 😆😆 soo ya, ther is a potential for some "opposites attract" .. 😳😆😆
OK..I'd better shut up now..rohan-isha fans wil want to murder me otherwise !!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAO....I'm not a die-hard Rohan-Isha shipper either, Mads...but I deffo don't think I'd want to ship Rohan-Ruchika either.....they are fabulous as friends...I can't picture them dating...they are too similar in many ways IMO....I wouldn't really term them as "opposites attract" that way😆😆....even veryyyy vaguely based on the points you mentioned😆....just cuz she believes in lucky charms and he doesn't, doesn't really make them THAT different😆😆....Rohan-Ruchika's witty bantering is fun to watch precisely cuz they are so 'in your face' with each other and getting on each other's nerves.....If you want to talk 'opposites attract', then that would be definitely more applicable on Rohan-Isha since they are poles apart in every way possible....now this show may not be overt about showing them potentially falling for each other but they've dropped subtle enough hints in a few epis so that does make it more likely....lol...It may be a 'cliched concept' but it does work many times....based on how it's shown ofcourse...that is what matters in my opinion....the treatment of such a storyline....cuz I like 'opposites attract' stories personally....
Anyways, I like Rohan-Isha as friends as well and I wouldn't mind them falling for each other either cuz I think that would be sweet too.....I liked Rohan with Sukrit too cuz she was a pretty sweet girl...but that wasn't meant to be I guess😆....but Rohan-Ruchika....ahhh no, yaar...I really like their bindaas friendship and the way they gang up on Isha to tease her....they are great friends, that's about it....don't see it going beyond that😕😆

DAMN !! looks like I m the only rohan-ruchika shipper here !!! 😆😆😆
oh even I wud ADORE it if rohan-isha fall in love..I mean, when they develop their storyline per say, m damn damn sure m gonna b hell attracted towards it..jus now that they arent showing anything I m left to my own speculations! 😆😆 and I m having fun making them! 😆😆 LOL I know what you mean yaar....they haven't dropped any overt or SOLID hints of Rohan-Isha being attracted to each other yet or romantically inclined that it must indeed be hard to picture them together in that way somehow....lol.....but yeah, it does all depend on how they develop their storyline ultimately.....so far I've liked the brief cute scenes like Rohan buying that dress for her and that cute note inside....the little scene when they were both out on their respective dates with other ppl.....the 'koi baat nahin' scene...lol.....the cute side hug when Rohan realizes that Isha invited Sukrit to her Dad's b'day party...stuff like that....lol....
abt 'cliched' love stories, I agree wit u BANG ON .. I m the type to get attracted to them too..but it all depends on HOW the storyline is executed like u said, and if its done well, then I m sure to fall in love wit it .. and coming to R.com, I m sure they wud hav something diff to show ..
but yaa, I adore the rohan-isha friendship a LOT .. and thats why I wudnt mind them falling in love wit someone else too eventually! I mean, I liked rohan wit sukrit too..and I wud hav loved isha wit sidhant .. 😳 infact I'd thought ther wud b sum angle to it ..guess, isha is gonna remain single until she falls in love wit rohan ..LOL! 😳😆 LOL yeah, poor Isha remains destined to be single for a while it seems....no wonder Rohan is always on her case about how she hasn't gone out on a date in a 100 years😆....anyways yeah....their friendship is sweet....I think they will be shown to fall in other ppl too but somehow they always come back to each other in some ways....maybe those are all hints of them ultimately being together??😆....who knows....but I enjoy the show as it is.....I'm liking the character developments😃
