Awesome review...

Shagun's delusion is superbly portrayed in the pic...but her mind voice about Ishita and the wedding becomes redundant and repetitive...

ek hi baat bolte bolte, sacch banaane mein lagi hai! 🤣

yeah it missed a cute and spicy Ishra scene in private, like in every episode nowadays

In terms of the track - the CVs are so stupid not just in terms of pace, but in terms of developing side character story line. They used to provide such rich stories involving the side characters, but now you can clearly tell that each side character is just being used a means to stretch the show and add drama. This is the 2nd wedding that has been planned since Ishita & Raman's big day, and everyone could predict how both of those shaadi's would end. #So original

I'm unsure how I feel about Mihir-Rinky only because we know Mihika will be emancipated soon! I don't want 3 out of 4 of the Bhalla kids to have a divorce...It's so unfortunate. Hopefully once the truth comes out we'll get to see a range of emotions from Mihir b/c I think RSA is such a great actor & deserves meaningful screen time too. I used to watch him back in the day on Remix & boyyy has he come a LOOONG way! 😳

As for Shagun's dumb dumb plans. I really tried to understand it, but it failed. God, I wish the CVs at least added an ounce of logic to the plan so I could connect more to that arc of the story.

Everything just seems so choppy because they are on this speedy train, which is unfortuante because I truthfully think this track and drama (minus the sterotypicalness) could have taken them back to the #2 TRP position. At least with Shagun's "shaadi," there was a build up and attempted logic to get to that bedroom scene. It was after that they lost track of the story and logic!

Here's to another half-a**ed plan by Shagun:

I don't think it has anything to do with nepotism. for some odd reason, CV's have a habit of keeping the same vamp around for years! I have seen it in other shows as well.

for now, I don't understand what will come out of her plan. some sources are saying that ishita will be blamed for everything and some are saying shagun will be exposed. I don't know where writers are heading with this.

Hilarious post Gan. Today's episode was okay, nothing great. I agree with you something felt like it was missing. I cant put my finger on it. I just hope the spoiler about Shagun being slapped comes true.

What I like about today:

• 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.😳

I am not even going to mention Shagun because I am tried of seeing Shagun on my screen. She is annoying and a boring villain and no offence to the actress, Anita she not that convincing as a villain. (My pov and I am not trying to hurt anyones feeling). This week's spoilers are the only spoilers I wish would come true. It means the end of Shagun's stay with the Bhalla/Iyer residence.

Ps. Everyone looks great in this sequence. Also as long as nobody turns evil and support Ishra I particularly dont care about Minky.

Well unlike other shows Shagun was not your run of the mill desi soap vamp .. She was more grey .. Ashok and Param were the main antagonists ... It was rifpght after her arrival at the Bhallas there has been a conscious switch of her character getting darker abd Ashok turned into a comedian ... Nothing about Shagun's track made sense ... Other than the effort to keep her onscreen by hook or by crook... Only with this track we see Ashok back in his old character...

The talk of nepotism came because they butchered even Raman to justify her presence onscreen. And frankly no offense but AH lacks the acting chops to carry a main antagonist role. Hence the audience irritation with her onscreen

I hate Ashok and Param .. Get irritated by their kand .. But I appreciate the acting skills of Sangram and Anurag ... But Anita's lack of expressions and dialog delivery is much below par ..I have nothing against Anita.. This is the 1st time I'm watching her.. And she comes across very flat as an actor to me.

As such moments I soo remember the old times- when the storyline when unpredictible and fresh- Now it's become similar to other saas-bahu desi soaps.

We have been sufferening the Shagun torture for soo long now- i hope this is her final play. i am soo fed up of her non-expressions. She provides absolutely nothing in terms of acting, story or anything. #Fed Up

Here's to another half-a**ed plan by Shagun:

Res... to love of all different shades and all different types and those who will never understand the power of such a simple word; and to grand schemes and their enviable & anticipated failure!

----EDIT----

G, I luuurve your post today. Shagun definitely suffers from delusions of grandeur and your pic captured that perfectly. The episode for me, as I previously stated, was a bit of a let down. Ru & Shravu's missing presence has something to do with it for sure... can you imagine the dance those two babies would have done? Their little heads poking everywhere? *sigh* Anyway there were things to love in the episode as well.😃

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🤢
