What can I say, one of the best epis for a while...dont care about Priyanka & Dadi warning Kajol off Anurag...the sindoor scene was sublime; Anurag has decided once and for all...whether he acts now or later does not matter to me as long as ends up as Anjol being end game; and it better be so; I dont care about Mukerjees and Chaterjees with their stupidity.

Kajol will surely one day see Anurag as more then whatever she sees him now, and yes as you have said that montage from early days is surely a forecast of how things turn out; Kajol on one side and family on another & only Anurag coming into help her

So we know Monday week is continuation of when she will.be publicly humiliated - I think this is start of montage playing out. Now I dont know why but I feel that somehow Kajol's Pisshima who is caught out in a lie might just out of fear deny - I will be disappointed if she did so ( but remind myself this is a tv show & put myself in writers place) I would just like her to stand by Kajol and say she gave permission but now its technically irrelevant because Kajol has been caught out in a situation & that too with Anurag where the whole world has witnessed their interaction and here her character is now questioned - a bitter pill to swallow.

So for me I feel the plot line going forward is that Kajol will be shunned by her family who think she has disrespected her father's memory and Chandana's authority as mother & is off to catch a rich man & romance him, by the time the error is discovered the damage will have beem done - there is no bigger betrayal than family members distracting one...and so our heroine has to suffer...even if she told the truth it would not matter because the family believe only what they want to believe and see and even if they want to give Kajol the benefit of doubt; its Nania with her vindictive and jealous streak that will plunge the knife in & manipulate the situation

Then there is marriage of Nania & Arjun & Kajol had better not be stupid enough to go stop it. Arjun calling Kajol characterless - there is a saying pot calling kettle black in the UK. Arjun not slapped enough as a child thats why Kajol slapped him, then Aayan now Anurag...who else to do the honours?? Of course Shreya...

Then too will the taunts by Chaterjee family & by Priyanka and Dida...plus Anurag going after Kajol not knowing Priyanka has labelled them as being married....I can only hope he finds out and soon;

I wonder if all of this defamation of her character leads to Anjol marriage twist???? Because only Kajol will put Dida in her place and Dida is not going to go anywhere fast now. So determined will she be to get rid of Kajol and Kajol if she marries Anurag now it will be a forced marriage and lots of misunderstandings but it will turn to love.

Thank goodness for Sharmilla.

Other than that have a lovely weekend all.

Karan mentioned tht Anurag will say tht he loves Kajol in front of everyone, and I feel Kajol will not accept this. She already thinks tht Anurag and Priyanka are abt to get married, so definitely she will deny. Than we have this Priyanka and old witch angle which needs to get cleared. Plus the taunts from Chatterjees....Mukherjees I dont even consider becoz they are waste of time.

I also feel tht Pishi will deny sending Kajol there, but I still hope against hopes. Becoz in the montage Kajol is all alone and Pishi is with the useless Mukherjees.

Karan also mentioned tht unexpected things will happen....I hope he doesnt mean Anurag / Priyanka shit, becoz thts the only unexpected shit I am NOT here for.

AnJol marriage cannot be unexpected....

We know now for sure tht Anurag loves Kajol becoz he said it today clearly....all this while we were not the only ones who were confused, even Anurag was just like I thought. He couldnt analyse his feelings before but today he did clearly...

So if it comes to a marriage it will be either a forced one OR one out of majboori. I dont want a marriage out of majboori. I want a forced marriage , becoz tht gives more scope for misunderstandings from Kajols side. And this will make the marriage track more interesting.

Also personally I want Anurag to tell off Dida and not Kajol. If Anurag does so, it will have more effect....

I want a scene where Anurag tells Dida that his Pishimaa is more understanding than her especially when she'll force him and Priyanka together....

And yes....the sindoor scene was sooo symbolic...1st it fell on him. Now it fell on both and filled up her maang. I knew from the start of this Durga Pujo track that this was about to happen....sindoor is always associated with marriage in ITV.

Either the sindoor plate would fall on Kajol OR the wind blowing the sindoor on her OR Anurag touching the plate and it accidentally falling on Kajol....3 scenarios on ITV

This time it fell on both ....option 4 😂😂😂

Yeah this episode was definitely worth it. CANNOT WAIT FOR ANURAG SLAPPING ARJUN.

Regarding precap- what I really love is that anytime Arjun tries to shame Kajol, he ends up making a tamasha of himself as well thanks to Anurag.

BOLD: I hate sindoor scenes but I loved how Anurag finally defined his feelings in clear terms- heavenly ❤️

Italics: I think the damage got done the moment Biswanath died- Kajol need not expect more from her family. I hope that at a later stage, even if she is there for them to support them financially and take care of things, I hope all of this culminates in her keeping distance from the Mukherjees in all other means- of course all of this is at a much later stage whenever she's married to Anurag and whenever their relationship becomes solid.

Priyanka toh, absolutely irritating, lol the way she lied about her being engaged to Anurag, relax behen.

WOULD LOVE TO SEE KAJOL DIDA CONFRONTATION- Kajol seems to have no fear of Dida at all. For that matter, I don't think Kajol feels fear towards people, even towards the Mukherjees- I think what she feels is a need to maintain peace and harmony at all costs and a rather blind love towards her family (like her father) and I think its a folly of both the father and daughter

Bold: Ooh!!! Wow!!! That is my second favourite scene from Bridget Jones (first is obviously "I like you just the way you are") 👏👏👏👏👏 👏 I definitely will tune in for that.

Can't find the precap on Voot. Did you watch it on tv?

I love Bridget Jones too 😂

Ever since Anurag's entry I had felt like his and Arjun's contrasting natures were very similar to Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver (and I was expecting this showdown). The only exception is that the girl here is a lot more responsible and confident about herself (but I prefer the imperfect Bridget to Kajol anyday)

Can totally see Anurag confessing his feelings in that sort of an awkward, matter of fact manner like Mark Darcy did ❤️ but Karan said its going to be publicly confessed, as if Anjol needed more publicity

Ok for me Kajols Pishimaa is a lost case.....period !!!! 😡

This woman is sooo totally nuts. She lied to Kajol and now she wants Kajol to get saved ???? Like seriously woman 🤬

I find it sad that Swaroopa Ghosh's acting chops is being misutilised by this character and show. Loved her in Piku and I've seen her in some really good short films

She is a really good actress I must say. Its sad tht they have made her such a weak character, although she is the eldest in the family.

And look at Chandana....she was like a mouse till Bishu was alive, now she has turned into a real snake.

Me for one I am eagerly waiting for the Anurag slapping Arjun scene. Normally I am not in favour of slapfests, but this jerk had it long coming. He was / is just asking for it since the time tht Bishu died. Every time you could see tht Anurag had a hard time digesting Arjun, but this time he went too far. Frankly I did not expect Anurag to react the way he did, becoz overall he is always cool in handling matters. But this time he is in love with Kajol, dil ka maamla hai, so he wont tolerate shit abt her.

Lets see how he handles his idiotic Dida when she starts spitting shit abt Kajol....is he going to tell her off too OR will he keep quiet ??

Normally I also dont like sindoor scenes, becoz they are highly overdramatic, but I kinda loved this one. 1) becoz it fell on both and 2) finally Anurag defined his feelings in CLEAR words....

What I also want is the hurt and humiliation becoming sooo overwhelming for Kajol tht she decides to distance herself from her useless family. She can still support them financially becoz she promised, but close her heart and all feelings for these ppl irrespective if she is married to Anurag or not.

Kajol may not be afraid of people or standing up for what is right, but her family is a different case. And I only blame Bishu for this becoz he has put the responsibility on her shoulder. He has put the pressure on her tht no matter what happens she will keep the family together. Also Kajol has never faced rejection to this extent before from her own family, maybe tht is why she has a hard time dealing with it.

Hopefully this phase is an eye opener for her to show her how double faced her family actually is.

Priyanka and Dida....dont want to waste my words on them 🤪🤪

I also wonder why Anurag needs to confess before the entire world tht he loves Kajol....the tamasha at the moment is not enough already ??

My only concern is tht Kajol doesnt slap him after his confession , becoz she might misunderstand him for 2 timing....

Hopefully not , but I am afraid it might happen. Kajol hearing abt Anurag Priyanka marriage and boom ....Anurag confessing his feelings to Kajol...can create another misunderstanding

I loved how Anurag was about to fight Arjun and Kajol asked him not to and he stopped, he went from a volcano about to explode to a pot with the lid tightly shut. Though would have loved to see a fight here and did not like the fact that Kajol stopped him but the signalling of the understanding emerging between Anjol was awesome.

@quickspicysauce I have been thinking of them as Mr Darcy and George Wickham but Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver is more apt.

@eshasrk I also don't get why they have to have a public confession of Anurag's feelings but I guess they might be doing it to garner more TRPs or use it as a catalyst to finally give Kajol that push by making her family reject her totally.

Whatever the case may be next week will be a mixed bag and I hope they get on the right track and the TRPs increase. If they don't then we know where the show is heading. I will tune in for the Anurag v Arjun fight but I don't know if I want to see Chandana and or this Deedama or Priyanka, I will skip through their scenes for sure. Naina I will watch due to the love-hate quadrangle between Arjun-Naina-Shreya-Ayan that was the only highlight before this new Anjol drama.

Bold: Yes I noticed that too; but did not comment on it in my earlier post..great observation..just her three words; "Dr Anurag -no"; & shaking her head was enough to calm him down; now if Priyanka who knows him well enough to know how volatile he is can see both the effect Kajol has on him & the respect he has for her is not indication enough for Priyanka then she will just get to witness more interactions that will encourage her to crawl under Dida and let Dida manipulate the situtation.

Anurag wont listen to Priyanka, Dida he will but will he leave Kajol for Priyanka - never. He has said he loves Kajol & will never leave her however what might happen is a coerced engagement with Priyanka which he will break & yes he will go against his Dida

As to everyone else in Anurag's family who knows of him as this introverted man not given to public displays well....its a 360degree turnaround and that too is warning enough - for Sharmilla - it does not matter - she knows Anurag loves Kajol, she has already prayed she gets Kajol as her bahu; and she will one way or another.

Next week is definitely going to be twists and turns ahead.

I think the only reason why Kajol stopped Anurag was she didnt want tamasha for him or his family becoz of her; it was the puja in honor of his mother. She will rather take the blame than let the blame fall on him. Also if you watch the ON LOCATION video carefully, there is a scene where she prays for Anurag also that he should be protected and tht she doesn't want any trouble for him, becoz of her.

But you are right......the understanding btwn them is becoming more obvious now.

I also don't get why they have to have a public confession of Anurag's feelings but I guess they might be doing it to garner more TRPs or use it as a catalyst to finally give Kajol that push by making her family reject her totally.

If they are doing this public confession in order to make her entire family reject her or kick her out, I am all in for that. This Mukherjee family doesn't deserve Kajol and Kajol needs to break free from this toxic shit.

But if they are doing it to humiliate Kajol more afterwards, than its better they don't opt for it.

I will also skip all the scenes of Priyanka and that old witch, Chandana and Naina.

I am all in for Naina, Arjun, Shreya confrontation. But the main reason for me watching is seeing where AnJol end up after all this drama.

And can they get to the Arjun- Naina wedding already....its been long overdue
