I am bored...just generally bored today. As a result I have some very random thoughts, questions and observations about today's episode.
- Was it me or did they go on and on about how good the pulav was? How good can it really be..pulav is rice and veggies? There is only so much you can do with it. Or were they so hungry that it didn't matter what was put in front of them they would have ended up licking their fingers. Naani mentioned it 3 times. Chirag went on about it and then of course Koki took the opportunity to take some digs at Rashi and praise Gopi. Is that really how you manage bahus and relationships in a family? Regardless of how perfect the bahus are, that kind of behaviour/favouritism would give birth to jealousy in any relationship.
Sometimes I doubt Koki's maturity as she'll leave no oppurtunity to show off her vau. It's like small kids showing off their possessions. She doesn't remember that Hetal didn't get to go select her vau. Jigar was being chivalrous.
- Then Gopi - what can I say about her. She is so needy. Any praise she laps it all up. But she gave this special smile to Aham before moving to naani to serve more pullav on an already full plate. *shaking my head*
Agree with you on that. I sometimes feel like giving her a hard & long shake to bring her to her senses. No one, no matter how sweet or illiterate, can be that good. It's only in reel life you can find such characters. Even a dumb animal can understand harsh words & actions.
- Did anyone else notice that Aham was eating the pullav by hand when he was licking his fingers then after Gopi served him some more he was using a spoon...hmmm. Bad continuity. It was the same as the holi celebration the colours on the actor's faces was different in each shot. Messy.
Agreed, CV's as usual slipping up. Maybe he suddenly realised he has an image to portray that of being the Modi scion.
- What was with the head massage? Do normal grown up men really have their mom's malish their scalps? I was a bit creeped out by that scene...or is it just me and my North American sensibilities that don't understand? It's no wonder Naani keeps calling him a mumma's boy.
Maybe they wanted to underline Nani's words about Ahem being Koki's boy. Or was it Ahem's way of showing Koki her importance in his life, just in case she forgot? LOL! Another thing, I want to add, Ahem looks to him mom for every little thing. Wonder how he works (& is successful) in the office? Does he call Koki before taking a decision: Mom, my green tea has gone cold, do I call the tea-boy to heat it or tell him to make fresh?
- Was all the teel malish a very cheap way to get Gopi to grab Aham's hand and didn't really mean anything?
Gopi is definitely getting bold. Earlier she would stammer or keep silent. Yesterday, she told Ahem that she'd only brought the clothes & today the hand grab. Maybe she knew Ahem wouldn't listen to her if she tried to stop him.
- Why did Aham (yes golden boy is back) turn to look at Gopi before he left his mom's room? Are we to believe that Aham feels something for Gopi. Am I the only one who is having a hard time with this?
I feel doubt he feels anything other than 'is gawar ki itni himmat!' Did you notice Gopi didn't give him a second glance? Is Gopi growing up? I hope so.
- Loving the relationship between Urmi and Kinjal. Like the way Kinjal sticks it to Urmi.
I was remembering Kamal Hasan's song "...We are made for each other. Samjhe?" from Ek Duje Ke Liye. How about that song from Do Aur Do Paanch: "Arre Tune abhi dekha nahin, dekha hai to jaana nahin"?
- Dhawal is a total male Gopi. Love the way he calls Kinjal - Kinjalji...Moving forward I christen Dhawal DHOBI!
Agreed & both the bro-sis duo mistreat them & they follow them with tails wagging, hoping for a pat on the head, instead they get a kick!
- Why is Gopi's tied back hair back? Is the makeover well...over?
Yes, the nails are gone & so's the hair style, back to square one? Forgot... even the saas is back
- At the end again Naani and Koki take another opportunity to sing Gopi's praises. I know Gopi probably needs all the boast to her self-esteem but I am getting cavities listening to it all and starting to feel sympathy for Rashi. Okay not quite!
No, definitely not. After suffering her for all these months, Rashi's getting some loooong overdue returns. I'm only sorry that it's not sood samet. LOL
Overall I found the show a bit choppy today, they were all over the place. I guess they are moving from the Holi track to the tender track and the CVs don't know how to do that smoothly.
I must say however, at the end I liked how Aham and Gopi exchanged a couple of looks after they discovered there was no newspaper delivery. Otherwise it was same old same old for me.
