Today's episodes set the stage for change in the direction of a few tracks. Did any of them ring a bell? Speaking of bells, sending best wishes to all those celebrating Dasara, Navarathri, Rosh hashanah.

Shagun was beaming about her upcoming nuptials and Adi mirrored it...he claims his mother's happiness is his. Just when he thinks life is good, he overhears the Lambu brothers celebrating now that they were getting rid of Shagun and Adi from the kaminey mansion for good.

That would put any child in a bad mood. Good moods are rare in Adi's life as bad moods are to others. Always anxious and angry, Adi usually tells Shagun to fix his troubles and here his adopted papa is ready to toss him and his mother out of their home and he's keeping mum? The look he gave Sunny, chota Lambu better watch out. Ahkir, Adi Raman ka beta hai, and his dominant genes are likely to show up at some point.

Shagun reminded us that Ashok was Adi's dad. When Adi had Raman sign off on his name change to Khanna did Ashok also legally adopt Adi as his son? If so, Shagun could use Adi, a minor child to get back into Ashok's life. There's no way Shagun will let go of Ashok so easily UNLESS of course she finds a bigger sugar daddy to turn his head in her direction.

Will Ishita try to keep Mani away from Shagun thus leading to Raman feeling jealous esp. after the way he heard her gushing over the phone with him today?šŸ˜•

The way Shagun grabbed the phone from Mihika's hand to talk to Mihir, though natural between siblings left an odd feeling that she's going to keep sticking her nose in MiMi's affairs while she hangs around Mihir's place esp. if she's forced to find ways to becoming Mrs. Shagun Khanna when Ashok ignores heršŸ˜•.

Mihir's warning to Mihika to be wary of Shagun was telling...that his sister can be nice one minute and nasty the next without warning. Ashok better watch his back. If he backs out of the wedding, Ishita's warning about Adi's reaction to Ashok may get Shagun's brain cranking and she may well find a way to force him to marry her. After all Lambu has never had success in any of his plans, Shagun has...she's got manipulation skills to boot. We just got a glimpse of the way she got Mihir to publicly accept she was his sister.😲

There's no way all of Shagun and Adi's belongings fit into that one piece of luggage each after all they accumulated in six years under Ashok's roof. Shagun's luggage was small enough to hold just the stuff from one of her frequent shopping trips. She's need a bag just to carry all the bling jewelry she flashed a smile at when Ashok showered them on her. Hope she was shrewd enough to take the jewels with her or Sunny bro could later land her in jail for theft from the Kaminey mansion. She may need the cash to maintain her lifestyle in case Ashok dumps her and makes a beeline for Mihika instead.

Just my opinion! Raman was right..., it hurt to hear Ishita's squealing on the phone calling Mani's name, it was way over the top. She sounded like she was talking to Shravu or Ruhi. The way she gushed you'd think she was a teenager with a crush on a Bollywood staršŸ˜›.

Who's idea was it to seat a short man in high back wing chair when Raman spotted Bala walking out of the hotel?šŸ˜† Ishita dabbled in jasoosi with Param/Simmi. Looks like it's Raman's turn to do jasoosi now that he spotted Bala bolting out of the hotel after he caught sight of Raman on the premises. Bala seemed panicky after spotting Raman at a hotel far from home. Was he employed there or was he involved in unethical acitivities to earn some extra cash? Bala/Vandu are the last and only nice couple left on the show. Hope CVs spare them from negative scenarios.

An NRI who is OCD about punctuality canceled a meeting because Raman was three minutes latešŸ˜•. No one gets away with treating the Raman Bhalla of today that way. So when they meet face to face doubt it will be a pleasant introduction. OMG! Tell me it's not going to be one of those "mera pati ki mahaanta" speeches from the biwi!šŸ¤”

If Mani/Abhimanyu shows up at Mihir's party, Lambu is sure to try to worm an introduction if he doesn't already know him. How will Ishita's friendship play a role in Raman/Lambu business deals with this new international business tycoon?

Raman's expressions were spot on in response to Ishita's starry-eyed looks at him as he mulled over a business issue. šŸ‘ Oh come on! Couldn't they have shown her behaving anything but like a teenager in love?šŸ¤”

Today we got a stark reminder that this show is now on the 7:30 pm slot...we got the first falling//catching with eye-lock scenešŸ¤” which wasted a good 20 secs or more of air time. Raman asked Ishita "are you crazy, do you intend to stand this way all night"?...well that question was on our minds too. šŸ˜†

Pervy and family have been gone a while and no one seems to care that they are missing. Will Pervy show up just in time to see the fallout? But where will his loyalties lie? With Shagun, his ATM machine or Ashok from whom he can milk millions blackmailing him with the secrets he shared with Pervy.

Now that Toshiji is away in London any chance she'll run into Tandon of London and find out when Trisha will return to her fiance Pathak?

Your thoughts?😃

res !!!


Edited (sorry for the delay)

Adi is a very annoying kid but the way he loves his mother is just the sweetest thing ever. Not only he loves her but he go out of his way to make her happy and to make sure that she has everything she wants. He can't do much because he is just a kid but he does whatever he can.
Adi is really representative of kid who grow as an only child with a absent father. They love their mother beyond limits.

Adi considers Ashok as his father but the minute ashok said he wanted to get ride of shagun, adi didn't question anything and decided right away that his mother and he were sufficient for one another. It's like that all along he expected the day were he would be alone with his mom, as if he expected Ashok to leave them like Raman did (even though raman didn't leave them, it's what adi might believe).

Long ago i thought that Ashok would be the one to want to marry shagun and to adopt adi after wedding because adi is a weapon that goes straight to raman's heart. But now that chota lambu is by ashok's side, they decided to get shagun on the street.

Shagun might be beautiful enough to get a new man (a sugar daddy of course) but she already had 2 men and i'm not sure someone will be willing to be the third, she'll most probably go back to raman using Adi.

Shagun's tentative to get ashok marry her was her blackmail over the 5 carat ring and so far it was a really bad move because the moment she blackmailed him ashok saw her no more as a lover but as an enemy. If her place in his life is at stake at the moment it's because she tried to force him to marry her. Her plan to get mihir back in her life was not so much smartness from her side than stupidity from ishita's side. Also it was a one time intelligent moment, i don't think we'll see that again soon !

Ishita who kept saying MANI MANI MANI MANI on the phone was deeply annoying and i agree with both you and raman on this. We got it Ishita, you get excited like a groupie over the smallest thing, please move on now.

I hope bala's track is something related to money and majboori and nothing too dramatic and/or negative. Cv's should try to keep some positives touch in this show!

When mani and raman are introduced to each other by ishita, i hope she doesn't go overboard on trying to make them both be the new best friends in town. I want her to respect who they are, and let them the right to not like each other if they don't want to.

The falling/catching scene was nice (some cliches, i can tolerate) but the fact that it lasted so long killed the magic for me. How long did ishita plan on hanging around raman's neck exactly?

Still no pervy around. Where is the kamina?

Hahaha last line about toshi was hilarious !!

Good post mera!

Meera ... A very happy Navrataris to you too šŸ¤—

Adi .. this kid is to watch out for ... I mean not the expressions .. the character progression ...

As of now, he is exactly what his father was a few months ago ... lonely, cut off from family, victim of betrayal(ashok ka khulasa yesterday was a big shock to the kid), egoistic with preconceived notions

So, while RKB was forced to marry Ishita for Ruhi's custody and it ended up in his healing ...
will Adi's custody force him to land in Bhalla house and therefore with Ishita for his healing ... let us wait and watch on that ...

You thought that too ... thank God for that ... Ishita behaved like a teenager BAS.

To begin with .. she got a call from an unknown number and in a split second she recognized he is Mani ... I cannot recognize my husband's voice that soon šŸ˜† .. I was like .. 😲 .. really

and then the only thing she did not do is jump on the bed with excitement ...

Secondly .. just my opinion ... in urban India in 2014 between a professional highly educated married couple (a doctor and a CEO) ... will the husband really get jealous if his wife is talking or spent an evening with an old MALE friend??? A hard pill to digest .. but alas ... serial world me kuch bhi ho sakta hai ...

And Raman and Ishita ka eye lock ... LMAO 🤣

7:30 ka asar ... u know I was laughing rather than enjoying ... kyunki ... first the weird angle KP was standing at while holding a file in his hand ... I just imagined ki real life me ye kitna weird gesture hoga ... playing statue ... and then I was like ... while enacting the real scene ... what will be the prompting from background ...

aankho me dekho .. dekhte raho ... statue ho jao ... aise hi tede khade raho ... Sorry for ruining the scene ... but it honestly cracked me up ... 🤣

Just my thought since it has been bothering me for a while ...

Saw a discussion on the forum where people think RKB was weird or rude not to react to Ishita or was not romantic ...

For me it was as normal as it could get .. he had a bad day at work, is pissed off due to that ... has another presentation to make, is extremely busy in that as shown from morning .. this contract is important to him because inspite of cribbing he agreed for a followup meeting ...

so in the practical world which husband will drop his work at the drop of a hat and be ready with a bouquet inside the bedroom or roam around with a placard of I love you wifey 24/7 ...

Face it people ... it is normal for a couple to switch to facing the problems of the world after sharing an intense romantic moment as well ... this is real life ... 24/7 romance only happens in serials that too serials dedicated to teen world ... that is why they are called fairy tale fantasies or romance ... because they are tales ... not the truth ...

Bruaah ... sorry for ranting on ur post but something irked me in the morning so bhadaas yahan nikaal di ... 😳

Great points Mera.
Adi has so much potential as a character. In all this debacle, he was impacted hard. Now he may realise that the reality he made for himself, thinking Ashok as his and his mother's savior, their little family is not true.

What has me interested is will he mention it to his mother and if so how Shagun will tackle it?
Knowing Shagun she will fight tooth and nail for what she deems her right after six years...Ashok being unwilling be damned. Adi will no longer be comfortable with Ashok. Will his mother pay heed to his feelings? Will this be an eye opener for the child about his mom's true nature?

RKB was very real. I love that he has not turned into sugary sweet, it's just not him. He isn't a teenager in love who can't think of anything else apart from his better half 24/7. He was having a bad day and preparing a very important meeting. Obviously he wasn't in a romantic mood.

I didn't mind Ishita's reaction to Raman even though yes maybe it could have been turned a notch down. For me it is a welcomed change from the total inertia and overall indifference she has previously displayed in her marriage. Hopefully this Ishita will now take initiatives in her marriage.

This mani guy was despo for meeting Ishita. Gosh he called her so many times! It seems to me the 3 min late was just an excuse. He prefered spending time with his 'friend' rather than have an important business meeting. Maybe it's him who will be actually jealous of RKB? *shrug*

Anyway I am not a fan of jealousy tracks. I don't mind a scene or two, here and there about it but a whole track?! That too at this point...is this even needed?

Well let's see...

Great analysis as usual... Ishita seemed like she drank too much cough syrup yesterday, both her reactions with/for Mani and later in the room. IF not held in check DT tends to become OTT very quick...
I personally like her when she is mellow, emotional or shy, her voice sounds NORMAL then.

Yes too many tracks, trying to fit into the 7:30 masale ki dukaan.
They dont want us to guess how the story will pan out... thats why the new "friend".He might disappear too like Param and Simmi have.
They HAVE to make each other address their feelings, they cannot push this out another year with unique monikers and excuses after every almost intimate encounter.

The question to be answered is "Is the masala greater than acknowledgement or vice versa."

Shagun behaving like a typical SIL is so cliched, I did not expect that from her... she is the progressive one, you know left her husband to sleep with her boy friend, now she interferes in her would be sis in law's life?

Unless every character will eventually be bathed in the "divine 7:30 PM" shower... and lose their original identities

Btalwar,
You go to another extreme like Raman Bhalla as well. Nobody expects the hubby to wait with a bouqet.
THAT was not what we lamented about. Many of us are married. Most are married to workaholics, MOST WOMEN are workaholics as well
We dont need lessons on "how a hubby should behave"😃
Raman crossed the line. He said "Jao tumhaari awaaz kaano mein chubti hai"
REALLY?😔 In real life if any hubby talks to his wife like that, I pity the wife...
But then some wives are blessed with more self respect than the others, so might express their displeasure😃
The girl child is inherently trained NOT to use such words with her husband. Ishita manages her practice her home and Ruhi. Raman is not the only man that holds a job. Sorry!
We have NEVER heard her be so snarkly or b----y with Raman😲

Shagun will not let Ashok off the hook so easily unless she's got another Money(Mani)-bags to step in as her sugar daddy. Will Ishita be a good friend and warn him off if Shagun makes her move or will she let it be so Raman's biwi # 1 doesn't poach on her status as Raman's present wife.

Raman is like a weather vane, one day he's teasing next day he was irritated with her. Don't blame him, she knew he was tensed and focused on his work and she didn't pick up the cues to leave him alone.

Adi .. this kid is to watch out for ... I mean not the expressions .. the character progression ... Raman ka puttar may have something up his sleeve even Shagun may not realize. In his intention to protect his mother from a man who no longer wanted her around, he may end up being the boulder in Shagun's path if she decides to fight for Ashok.


As of now, he is exactly what his father was a few months ago ... lonely, cut off from family, victim of betrayal(ashok ka khulasa yesterday was a big shock to the kid), egoistic with preconceived notions. Now after seeing Ashok' real face behind the mask, Adi may start to question himself about the adults in his life. If he bottles his feelings up, it could come out in questionable behaviors...we don't see him trust anyone to confide in them.

So, while RKB was forced to marry Ishita for Ruhi's custody and it ended up in his healing ...
will Adi's custody force him to land in Bhalla house and therefore with Ishita for his healing ... let us wait and watch on that ...

You thought that too ... thank God for that ... Ishita behaved like a teenager BAS. Sometimes her enthusiasm is way over the top for the situation ...a directorial faux pas or a flaw in character sketch?šŸ¤”

To begin with .. she got a call from an unknown number and in a split second she recognized he is Mani ... I cannot recognize my husband's voice that soon šŸ˜† .. I was like .. 😲 .. really

and then the only thing she did not do is jump on the bed with excitement . She wouldn't know if he had changed over the years, so her reaction was unrealistic. Her reaction was more in keeping with a fan who gets an unexpected call from a Bollywood star.šŸ˜›

Secondly .. just my opinion ... in urban India in 2014 between a professional highly educated married couple (a doctor and a CEO) ... will the husband really get jealous if his wife is talking or spent an evening with an old MALE friend???

🤣 It was ridiculous that after seven months of marriage they needed eyelock scenes...oh PLeeezz! Raman's reaction (taunt) though took the cake...šŸ‘

Just my thought since it has been bothering me for a while ...

Saw a discussion on the forum where people think RKB was weird or rude not to react to Ishita or was not romantic ...

Bhanu those of us who've been married or even paid attention to our parents while growing up will realize Raman's reaction was realistic. Men tend to shut down when they have a lot on their mind, women go patar-patar when tensed as a general rule. It's just the nature of the sexes.


Bruaah ... sorry for ranting on ur post but something irked me in the morning so bhadaas yahan nikaal di ... 😳 Unload the rant na, no need to apologize. šŸ˜† It's good for your health too.😃

Exactly what's been playing on my mind since he overheard Lambu brothers celebrating it.

RKB was very real. I love that he has not turned into sugary sweet, it's just not him. He isn't a teenager in love who can't think of anything else apart from his better half 24/7. He was having a bad day and preparing a very important meeting. Obviously he wasn't in a romantic mood That Ishita didn't notice that Raman was irritable and preoccupied with work when she got Mani's call and after her return from dinner was odd. She had her head in the clouds and her reaction to meeting Man was šŸ¤” Wonder what was mixed in her cold drink at dinner?
I didn't mind Ishita's reaction to Raman even though yes maybe it could have been turned a notch down. For me it is a welcomed change from the total inertia and overall indifference she has previously displayed in her marriage. Hopefully this Ishita will now take initiatives in her marriage.
Suddenly she's all starry-eyed around Raman just seems a bit rushed and 🤪 given her personality. She's swinging like a pendulum at times...all in the name of adjusting to being a 7:30 slot heroine?šŸ˜•

This mani guy was despo for meeting Ishita. Gosh he called her so many times! It seems to me the 3 min late was just an excuse. He prefered spending time with his 'friend' rather than have an important business meeting. Maybe it's him who will be actually jealous of RKB? *shrug*

Anyway I am not a fan of jealousy tracks. I don't mind a scene or two, here and there about it but a whole track?! That too at this point...is this even needed? It doesn't suit Raman to be the jealous husband but as long as it's not immature for a couple of episodes it should be digestable. After all neither Raman nor Ishita are teenagers in love. They've been married for more than half a year already.

Well let's see...
