Countdown begins.... *BONUS collages pg 12*

• Vandu-Bala scene. These two are my favourite couple after Ishra. I love their maturity and at the exact moment on the show, the most close to real life couple. These two have always been adorable and now with pregnant Vandu, you just cant help but say awww.
• Rinki-Raman scene. Raman seems to have a significant age difference with Romi and Rinki. So they are like his second children. We all know how father and daughters get. That scene was sweet and both actors did their parts well. It is nice to see some light being shed on Raman and Rinki's relationship.
• Romi-Ishita scene. Devar-Bhabhi relationships are special to being with and I wouldnt expect any less from these two. They have always had a sweet relationship. It big of Ishita to forgive Romi specially after what he has done to her family. She is his only friend in the house right now.
• Rinki-Ishita scene. It is nice to see some great nand- bhabhi relationship on tv instead of the nand always plotting against her bhabhi. Rinki has always been Ishita's greatest support and no wonder Ishita got so emotional because Rinki is like her little sister.
• Ishita-Raman scene. I JUST LOVE THESE TWO IN GENERAL.😳

Romi

Loving it, loving him. So glad he isn't moping anymore and is back to being a man of action. Loved his silent communication with Ishita,- AG &DT really have good chemistry in their roles and I was reminded of the licence track watching them in their silent communications and secret smiles. His cheeky smile, her indulgent look, so cute- so natural. So sweet to see Ishu taking care of him, making sure he gets a proper breakfast and sending him off on his way.

This is family. This is Ishita's family. And this is why Shagun will never be able to take Ishu's place in the Bhalla house even if Ishita had been in the wrong with Rinki's proposal. She has won her place in every single Bhalla's heart because of her genuine love and care... and nothing Shagun can do or say or plot can change that. 😊

Clearly though, Romi's truth won't come out at Rinki's wedding, and honestly I'm kind of glad because that's not the kind of news that needs to be spilled at the mandap- it's private and should remain so. But the obvious importance of his observance of Shagun with Amrita is clear, Romi will be one of those who defends Ishu against Shagun's baseless accusations . For now that's enough. But when the truth comes out abour Romi, and Shuagun's subsequent involvement, even if she has already been thrown out...it's gonna be sooo much fun! #hope it won't take too long #It'll be the final nail on her coffin #Simmi is the only Bhalla sibling she hasn't messed with #For now #Simmi- girl watch your back #You seem smart but so did Romi 🤢

Anyway, I am just so very glad to see Romi connecting with Ishu again, she will understand his plight like no one else in his family can and having that kind of support from someone you trust, respect and love is the best thing in circumstances like this.#Devar- Bhabhi Fan club

Vandhu/Bala

How absolutely adorable were these two? I love them so much and am so glad that the CVs have decided to dust hem out of the background and bring them forward if only for an episode. I hate that this beautiful relationship is being put to the test with the Raina track #whenever that comes around #another track abandoned for Shagun's glorification #though I'm too mad #but what's Bala26 up to these days #Vandhu gives birth, Raina comes back? #along with the blast from Ishu's past? #please let that track be handled with tact and sensitivity #a track just for ISHRA #is that too much to ask #just for them and their love story #ridiculous we have to request such a track #please don't ruin it too CVs

Whatever comes of the rest of it for now we can enjoy watching Bala & Vandhu enjoy the kind of life, famiy and relationship that ISHRA will hopefully have one day too. #first ISHRA need to get out of the 'friend zone' #RKB is being friend-zoned #well whatelse would you call it at this point #RKB needs to make a move #seems his missus will not

ISHRA

I loved the normalcy of their initial interaction as you pointed out. The way her scene with Raman reflected the similar scene with Romi earlier was well done. As a comparison it shows not only the love and care she has for them both but also stands to demonstrate the playfulness and depth of each relationship- both brothers have a different relationship with her but their devotion and affection for her is very evident. This not only re-establishes the Ishu - Romi relationship but will also serve as a catalyst for him helping to take Shagun down at the moment of truth when Shaun hurls her accusations against Ishita.

And then Raman's emotional moment at seeing Rinki- so lovely and really points to his parental role in his siblings' life- all of his siblings. And now Ishita has joined him with the same outlook- a concept which is further complimented by Rinki's remark that it doesn't matter whether is is her mother or Ishita that first sees her as a fully made up bride for the first tine. I appreciated their moment with Rinki, the shaking emotion in his voice, her silent support, his quiet tear glazed eyes and his look of bittersweet joy and awe... beautifully done.

Once again, I have to applaud DIVAN for their incredible talent in saying so much with so little words. Maybe the scene was a little OTT but the emotions were very genuine, and considering wheat we all know is about to go down un the next couple of episodes and the rush of the wedding perhaps this scene was necessary for the more sceptical viewers to understand the reasoning behind RKB's recent sacrifices.

As for Shagun- with Mihika overhearing in the precap and Romi connecting the dots in todays episode it's clearly going to a very unforgettable day for all the Bhallas... just perhaps not in the way that Ms. Aurora imagined. #I can't believe it's almost here #I'm so excited #Please don't tell me I'm dreaming #down with Shagun #it better be explosive #worth all we've put up with #Shagun slap-a-thon #RKB/ Romi cant't do it #Guess it's got to be Ishu #for all the threats Shagun made to Ru #'one tight slap' #first the slap then the door #hope that scene is prolonged #first time I want to see more of Shagun #please don't deny us this CVs #we deserve this

PS: Shagun invited the woman she was going to use to destroy Ishu's life in to the Iyer's house? #How low can she go #Ooops I forgot who I am talking about

PPS:CVs we're not asking you for a honeymoon in Paris for ISHRA- just normal physicality and desire between a married couple that are supposedly in love #No more couch #One comforter #Move past first base #They're not even at first base yet #We're sure they're in love right? #Coz i think they had more physicality during the 'hate' phase #This is beyond ridiculous🤢
