It wasn't just about today, its other episodes too and I find his English dialogues hard to understand a lot of times like the last Maha Episode I still don't know if he said "you have no fashion sense or poor fashion sense" lol!
Maybe they need to tone it down with the super intense background music with his dialogues if he can't speak up.. but ya, it won't help outside the show!

I couldn't believe Dadi pushing Nani to bring back Shyam, she really wasted no time but in a way it is good since it leads to Arnav finally coming face to face with Shyam and realizing he was never out of the picture. I agree the face off will be limited with Shyam believing he's won but as usual that overconfidence will be his defeat, he will be back at RM alright but he won't be able to operate like he has in the past not with many of them watching him like a hawk. I truly look forward to his return at RM, it should be good.

Seriously...Dadi is super persistent isn't she? I am eagerly awaiting the showdown..but I have a feeling they will drag it until Wednesday? Hope I am wrong, and they show the confrontation tomorrow for trps.

I think he mumbles more because he tries to incorporate that accent each time he speaks. And at times, like today, it all falls flat, the words don't come out right and nor does the accent!



But, today there were only two English dialogues. So, it can't be because of that. I hope the direction takes this into note.

Sari- lovely post as I run out of adjectives to appreciate it 👏and completely with you on trying to lay off the speculations- would certainly save us some head and heart ache.

Rabba Ve all! A very good epi esp after the Friday debacle which seemed to resort to gore and bad contrivances to create some unwarranted sensationalism. I had tuned in with less than half a heart and was more than pleasantly surprised at the brilliant carry forward.

Finally a peek into that much hinted past and all the while admirably keeping Arhi at the focus- good job CVs👍🏼 I only hope the past and the hint of the MU there, has something more concrete to it than the finally laid to rest flimsy terrace MU.

Today we saw a girl who has lost it all- parents, husband and baby. And a boy who was forced to become a man and take charge of his sister promising her a world of happiness and yet blaming himself for failing to deliver on it.

Liked the scene where a delusional Anjali takes one look at her brother and realizes she has lost the baby. Her loss reflected in his eyes- beautiful depiction of the strength of the sibling bond there.

And the scene were Arnav breaks down and shares his past and his guilt with Khushi. The setting was reminiscent of the scene aeons ago when the two had similarly sat on a hospital bench as Khushi had broken down about her father's poor health and Arnav had comforted her with a hand on her head. The two have traversed a long journey since then and yet the perpatrator of their grief is the same as it was then- Shyam

It's heartening to see Khushi acting as Arnie's strength and confidante as he continues on his petal bartan journey and I hope we'll only see more of this going forward. The past MU does give an uneasy feeling of perhaps another MU coming up soon if Garima indeed is the other woman.

When you have leads who can act superlatively, one tends to become exacting in one's expectations. And so I'd say BS was fantastic and yet we've seen better than this from him previously. Also, while I loved the way one could hear the tears in his voice, the words were even more muffled than usual. I had to rewind and up the volume at several places just to be able to hear the words

And so the IPK appeal continues- no longer an addiction but perhaps that's something to be thankful for😛

Arnav and Khushi together fighting through tough times and Khushi being Arnav's emotional strength with Ganpati ji in the backdrop gives me hope that he's looking over them and they will get through all the obstacles laid out together. The past will shake them up and there will be a difference in opinion, but nonetheless, they will still be together and work together, they don't necessarily have to be physically together or apart. They've come a long way now, they're one soul and this will help them get through in tougher times.




Sugar - Good post especially these parts... yes, the presence of Vigneshwara was to calm the nerves of the fandom...Throughout all the scenes, be it Arnav walking by himself nervous to see a distressed Di or be it during the sole baring and the eventual hug...Trying times but the Lord is with them...

Few days ago, he walked into the mandir for his wife but today symbolically he admitted that he wasn't in charge of his destiny...There is indeed a higher power...A changed man who finally bares his soul to the woman he once vowed to hate but fell in love even more deeply as the days went by... Importantly the story is where we want it to be...👏

I am not sure about the trps.. but a confrontation tomorrow, may not be the right time or right place. Arnav is yet to meet his sis, and thrashing the guy black and blue, may not be the stress his sis wants right now, no matter how much Shyam deserves it. And I am sure this is going to be pointed out by Khushi, whereas Dadi will take her superior tone and say that Anjali needs her husband and that arnav cannot make all the decisions by himself.. or something of that kind. Dadi will play true to her nauseating self, but Khushi will play the role of nani and be the peacemaker.

Apparently, this is where dear mamaji has relocated too. He is in Sony Tv's Love Marriage Ya Arranged marriage too, according to the poster.

Hello all!
Just got home after an amazing weekend and made a beeline to Doc and Sari's post, rest I will get back in a bit. Just wanted to make sure I catch Doc before she leaves ... again 😃
@Doc - First of all.. boo hoo! I so wish you were in Boston, I had an amazing time although Maxine is probably doing jumping jacks in sheer joy that I left 😆 coming back to your post, I am completely convinced now that I don't have to write anymore. You have said everything that I would have said. Mumbling has GOT to go. Bas. As far as the performance, there is room for improvement and quite a bit I must say. The accent thing has nothing to do with mumbling, completely irrelevant.
@Sari - Ransom? phangurls? Satyamev Jayate.. haila! abhi to humara 6 months ka contract khatam bhi nahi hua, aap abhi say aisy bataein kara rahi hain?😆
@maxine - da fuq with symbolism. Just remember Nupur.

off to read the others...

I have to admit, I was a bit sucked into the whole symbolism thing.
For the life of me I could not understand why Khushi was dragging the box before the famous I love you dammit episode, was it an indication of opening a Pandora's box? Anyways... I am now reformed😃 My motto - Go with the flow and not to waste unnecessary energy on a daily soap, instead sit back and enjoy till I like it.



Seriously?? I am really clueless when it comes to symbolism I thought that was just a way to get him out of his gloomy mood after the face off with the witch...

Maxine: 🤗 Am sure you had a super time with Joey. Will have to get all the deets!

1. I agree with Sari, twilight zone kills the show. I've been ranting about it for a while, but they ram it down our throats regardless.

2. Surely chica you know these folks are born to act. 😉 Unlike the rest of us who need years and years of training in our respective craft/trade... their only acting school is on the job, on the sets! 😆

3. Well, after Friday I was set to detox... so by comparison this WAS a stupendous improvement! Most of us are 1. more forgiving than you perhaps 😛 and 2. entirely reliant on reference points. As Sari said Friday set the bar really low!


Re 1). I think I may never recover from Friday. It's like when Indian lost the 2003 world cup. I cried for days. And then I stopped watching cricket with the same passion. Until they won in 2011. When I cried again..but tears of joy.So...I'll wait for IPK to have their 2011 moment. 😊

I did have a nice time with Joey. I'm sure she'll provide you with deets! Hope your weekend was good too.
