Hi dixie123,

Your posts are always thought provoking and delight to read. It's cherry on cake to read it after episode. Other thing I love about your posts that you stick to current tracks and episode rather than jumping to conclusions by unwanted spoilers, that's quite mature of you.👏

So, This Delhi track has many things to offer, more than anything else I am looking forward to Sam Rohan bonding, it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Apart from changing bed side, Sameer woke up with the blanket. Did he try to snatch it in night which woke him up?😆

Imported suit wali Lalita Pawar 😆 is tedhi kheer jo seedhi ungli se nahi niklegi. She has strong persona and she is there to stay with her decision making and it's effects on Sameer.

What a business minded Somani is! He invested right time at right thing. Sensex at that time was 1100 which is now 33000, and 90s beginning was the transition point for Indian economy. 👍🏼

At one point when Naina's VO said agar hum future dekh paate I thought she will continue as " toh mere papa ghar baar gaadi aur kidney bech ke stock market mein invest karte".😆

I never trusted Somani earlier and I am still not getting why he forced to have Sameer in Delhi? Something fishy. As a business minded person, he might have something under his sleeves which he is not showing now? Let's see.

Nivi - thanks for the post..

It was an interesting episode and liked the introduction of Somani family. Phew - what a family .. So hypocritical and artificial.. Agarwaals with all their idiosyncrasies look real to me.. Bela chachi and her warmth..

Ashi and Randeep stole the show..⭐️

Will Vishakha's behaviour remain a mystery, that episode threw up so many questions.. Looks like she not only seeks Somani and his mother's approval, but even Rohan's approval and appreciation My heart went out to Sameer when she was listing those don'ts.. even a stranger who gets to know what has happened will reach out to give emotional support.. here a mother 😡or maybe she has forgotten that Sameer is her son..her behavior reminded me of typical tellywood treatment of a unwanted unloved bahu..

All those photos of Vishakha with Rohan and Deepika - do not know if it has registered in him yet - but they will add to his sense of despondency 😭😭 I do not remember seeing a single pic of Sameer with his mother in A'bad..

Interesting point - Older Naina's VO - was light and chirpy when she was referring to Sameer's daadi and papa - looks like some kind of reconciliation happened later..or they grudgingly acknowledged him when he became the CEO of Maheshwari industries

Going forward, with all his maturity -Sam may try to ignore Somani and his mother's taunts.. but is going to be very very emotionally tough for him.. additionally seeing Vishakha's helplessness

Beautiful post Nivi 👏

The episode was great apart from the thappad drama that wasn't needed actually 😳

Already his life is a mess and adding to this an unrealistic slap... didn't make sense😳

Randeep and Ashi were brilliant in their emotions as always and Preeti is the best sister to have👏

I'm really missing Swati and Shefali with Naina in this difficult time ... wish they too were there😊

Somani is back to his self and Sam is gonna have a terrible time ahead in this house

Too much drama ahead but glad that the story is moving forward 😊

Lovely review as usual Nivi! I liked today's epi.. gave us an insight into the Somanis who have some convoluted idea of perfection that they want their kids and the world at large to adhere to!

It is no wonder that nanu and Vishaka kept Sameer away from the Somanis ..but what a time in his life for him to come to them :( Vishaka is a telling statement of what a weak woman is.. am curious to see if Sameer's plight finally teaches her to stand up for herself and what is right or if the kids just bond to make things better for Sameer while Vishaka continues being a doormat..

Naina finding the news via the paper and immediately thinking of how Sameer would be shattered was so touching.. but I really liked how the other characters and their reactions were kind of woven into the situation (classic YUDKBH).. Bela chachi is love! Taiji feeling sorry about the death but more concerned about the lost cases 😕😆 and I could not take my eyes away from Ayesha as Preeti - she showed so many emotions today - surprise at the song playing, teasing Naina, the utter shock when she saw the news and immediate concern for her sister and jijaji!

Hi Nivi.. loved your post...
You guys have all covered most of the things so there isn't much to add but since I was focused on two things... will just talk about that largely

Till yesterday I have never thought deeply about Vishaka and her demeanour...yesterday I was noticing only her in the episode..

Before yesterday... all I concluded from the various exchanges of Vishaka with her Dad, Somani and Sameer... she had come across as a bit of a disciplinarian mom who had issues with her son's recalcitrant behaviour, she had seemed to me who had been swayed by Somani's approach and so could not see the situation from her father's perspective. Before yesterday, I had not seen her as anything other than a strict mom. Until yesterday's episode... I had not thought she was under any duress of any kind..

Her first scene of yesterday...I read a bit differently during the scene and later. Apart from the optics it intended to convey.. I read it first as it was intended to be perceived by Sameer...the sense of partiality that was always an undercurrent in their relationship...but I looked back at this scene slightly differently ( though I may be wrong here) as if she was conditioned to act in a certain way around Dadi which had repurcussions on her relationship with Rohan.. she seemed to be echoing what Dadi says about Rohan
Those words she utters for Rohan were somehow not her own but what she is "tutored" to say about Rohan... will try to explain this better once I express my thoughts about the other scenes involving Vishaka...

About Dadi.. I won't write much as the only impression she gave was about how she maintains a iron hand on the proceedings and she will be meeti churi to Vishaka and perhaps Sam too...As if Vishaka's shoulder is going to be used for the targeting at Sam.. just a thought!!

About Somani and Vishaka exchange, I found the look on Vishaka's face interesting when Somani remarks that you have all the freedom as Mum never interferes...interestingly it seems that perhaps Dadi is different with Somani as well.. typically lulling him into the belief that Vishaka has a free reign in her home... I now suspect that Vishaka's shoulders are broad for a reason... 😆

On Somani... I don't know why you guys say that he has "reverted" to his mean self..He was always a bit mean.. Somani hadn't changed at all... He remains the guy who does not have much faith in Sam's upbringing. He is not a monster but I think he only sees what is shown to his eyes..I know the paper stealing incident makes him look like a manipulator but I see that as an incident that allowed him to expose Sameer for his implicit brush with wrongdoing as he perceived the incident, a chance to show Nanu and Vishaka how right he is in his assessment of Sam..That comment about his mom... I felt he is also living in an illusion.

Back to Vishaka... CVs had better have a clear backstory for her diffidence.. She seems like a robot around Dadi, has some spark around Somani and is strange around Sameer.. Who art thou Vishaka?

The funny thing is after all this layering ( atleast it seemed to me).. I really hate it when the CVs just never follow up on these traits after the cryptic clues) They just dont provide the context making it difficult to understand the motivations of some characters.. I have had this experience with the mother's character In Edkv.. till the end she remained an enigma 😆

Also a question... why Vishaka is dressed so austerely in that household?

Lovely post on the Episode Nivi.
Sameer is in need of mother's care very much now. To get the care of his close people like Munna Pandit and of course Naina. But he is far from all this in his broken state.

Don't know how he'll get over from it and how Naina will reach him.

Yes, Nivi, good to get back the usual sensible Un dino ki baat episodes although that slap was OTT! 😆 There was no need for that. For the imported Dadi, Sameer being a stepson and the one who is causing some discomfort to her laadla grandson is good enough. We already have a glimpse of her vindictive nature. Feeling really bad for Sameer. At least, Vishakha should have put him on bed. That scene was emotional and full of contrast. Vishakha put the comforter on Rohan but left her son Sameer to fend for himself. Somani is also back to his strict self! I understand that one has to adapt to a new environment, but it should done slowly given his circumstances. At this rate it will be a hostile environment for Sameer. His escapist thoughts that this is all bad dream and he will wake up and Nanu will be with him was so 😭

I can only find one silver lining that this will propel Sameer to go back to Ahmedabad , back to his home, back to his loved ones, back to his NAnu's office.

Naina' anticipation which turned into agony seeing the paper was beautifully done by Ashi.

Thanks Nivi for that update. Your updates are as good as the episodes. I always read your updates before watching the epi, reading your update aisa lagtha hai jaise epi dekh liya.

So reading your post and comments i know that it was a nice episode today. Chalo accha hai. Somani's house is run on timetable. Hope sam can bring some positive changes after he is out of shock. I think Rohan will bond with sam and deepika toh bhaiyya ki dewaani ho jayegi. I am waiting to see these three siblings dynamics. I think sam and vishaka both will understand each other better through rhis track. Somani i believe is grey maybe but not a villian types. He dosent like sam thats all which also might change in the future. Anyways somanis are filthy rich so no property fight angle i guess. Next week will be how both will be vulnerable, she knowing his condition and her own helplessnes and he in that new strange environment but they will bounce back. Once they start cimmunicating i think sam will start to come out of his shell. Hope to see their strong love and support and how that sustains their relationship in this testing time. I seriously dont want to believe that mu ka spoiler. Now no more place for misunderstandings in thier lives.

Ps. I think the actor who plays vishaka is the main leads mom in another show. She might be busy full time there so comes and shoots all her scenes in a go fo our show. Hence maybe the same saree. My guess.

Good one Nivi!

In the episode, what I loved the most was Naina's VO part! It brings positivity, freshness and peace in any scene! As you said loved the way she introduced dadi and addressed Somani as sameer's dad!

It's good to see Vishaka caring for Rohan despite him not being her son! But she failed to take care of her own son! Sameer was right about Vishaka earlier, she has indeed become Rohan's mother from sameer's mother! And Somani is just unpredictable! Though he doesn't like Sameer, he atleast says he wants Sameer to become a responsible person which I appreciate! He is rude but not bad!

On the other hand, Naina shattered to see Nanaji's death news in paper! She feels guilty for not being with him at that time, and rushes there to meet him, but it's too late! It's second heartbreak post bet revelation! This time it's very tough for her to handle the separation as their relationship developed more than the last time! We have to see how they adjust themselves & face the challenges without eachother's company! Whatever, I hope they meet eachother soon! Fingers crossed!

Nivi, watching d episode was such a pain!! My little heart broke at every moment..every damn moment when SamAina were sad!!

Vishakha's behaviour was actually unexpected!! I thought she would fulfil d promise Nanu took from her..but

Somani n his mom can just get lost in some other galaxy..they're simply intolerable

Vishakha, who's in Sameer's biological mom, cannot understand him at all, let alone d way Naina understands him!! Sameer's life is so ironical😒
