I apologize for poor choice of words. I shouldn't have said that bride swapping is the theme of the show. What I wanted to say was that parents assuming that the girl or boy is the right choice for their child without actually asking the child or basing it on their assumption is wrong.

We as audience know why Meenu chose Mishti as opposed to Kuhu. But as far as Maheshwari's are concerned, Meenu chose Mishti because she felt that Mishti is better compatible with Kunal's temperament. Before Kuhu comes, Meenu is shown to question Mishti regarding her likes and hobbies and ending each of Mishti's answers with "even Kunal likes the same things.

It is because of these words that Rajashri is thinking that Mishti will get a mother in Meenu. She doesn't know that it was Abir who brought Mishti to hospital or that Naman is scared of Abir. She thinks Kunal is the one who took care of Mishti and protected her from Naman. Hence Rajshri is convincing Mishti and the family that Kunal is the right choice for her.

Neither of these two moms are paying attention to what their children whom they love so much want. They just assume that they know what is best for these two "achhe bacchhe.

Meenakshi didnt want to appear bad infront of all but at the same time she wanted to decline kuhu's rishta so that's why she asked for Mishti instead of kuhu and gave some stupid reason. She very well knew Maheshwari's will take it as their insult and will refuse for this alliance too.
In our indian society this so called bride swapping is common. Phir woh kissi bhi tarah se ho. If you have read Amrita Pritam's novel ' ek chadar maili si' than we will understand my pov. ISS tarah ke cases sirf lower casts mein hi nahi balki zyadatar middle or upper middle class families mein hote hain.
We r only thinking about Abeer Mishti ka rishta. If they will get time to know eachother than may be Kunal aur kuhu Ko bhi ekdoosre Ko samajhne ka mauka mile.

Well said..actually rajan shahi brand of serials dont endorse plottings and drama so bride swapping n all will never happen . But yes . In this serial, as i pointed it out earlier, everyone just.jumped the gun and drew their own conclusions ..it happened very quick , without any base thats why it was unsatisfying. This is not the way arranged marriages are arranged..yes elders may decide for their children , and there are people who dont oppose elders..but here everyone here is assuming ..

Abeer is assuming mishti may be the right one for kunal..how much does he know her ? They should have been more of abeer mishti scenes or show them as friends somehow ..but why didnt he ask kunal or arrange kunals meeting with mishti so that they decide? Instead, he is spending more time with mishti ..


Rajshri is assuming kunal helped mishti..how does.it.matter ? That doesnt make him a suitable boy for mishti. Someone might just help someone on the road out of humanity ..and all her reasons for naman interfering in mishtis life is bizarre.
Enpower mishti to face all this..


Meenakshi assumed the girl with earring is kuhu . The fact is that she doesnt want either mishti or kuhu ..but her choosing mishti is odd..how does meenakshi knows that.mishti is a cow who will bow down to all her wishes and hence suitable to.be kunals wife?


As we all know, is mishti and kunal agree for the alliance,they will jump to roka and all rituals..they wont ask kunal and mishti to talk and then take a decision..if abeer wants to make everything right, he must talk to.mishti and kunal both ..we know abeer and mishti are the leads so something will.happen due to which meenakshi will flip.again . At least they toned down kuhu..good start..


About parenting ,i like the theme ..and the characters.. if audience can u know..infer something good out of it..for me, how i interpret it, parents controlling their childrens life never let them grow . In a fear that children may do something wrong, they get overprotective and over bearing ..let the children make mistskes and learn..let them learn through their own experiences only then they grow..i have been doing the same mistske with my children, being a.helicopter parent..although my kids r very young , i realized how wrong it is..n i am making all efforts to correct this ..😊

I hope.in future they stress on this point ..how wrong meenakshis dominating nature is..totally an imbalanced woman..

@clarity, you are right. The show cant be taken seriously at this rate.

However, I am prepared to give them a long rope. Reason being, that the families are getting excited. But Kunal and mishti haven't shown any romantic interest in each other... yet

Bride swap is so 🤢


Yeah, I am gonna see how this plays out but I have a bad feeling it will be extremely awkward with Kunal-Mishti being engaged while MishBir and KuKu realise they like each other.


*rolls eyes*

@bold- FACTS.

This is what I thought as well. Kunal may be a nice guy but after all the hungama Meenakshi created, I don't understand how Rajshri can feel Kunal is right for Mishti.

Is he the only good guy in the world lol? The mighty Maheshwaris cannot find another family? Super weird.

It also seems like Rajshri is motivated by her fear of Naman but how will Mishti being married make the Naman factor go away? 😕 Mishti will still be Naman's daughter, no?

I think if you haven't watched the parent show it can be hard to understand the history of the characters. For example today they showed Karthik and Naira talking to Mishti on the phone. If you don't watch YRKKH you wouldn't know who they were and their history as main leads of that show.

Rajshri loves both grand daughters. Kuhu has both of her parents with her. Mishti has her grandparents. Her mother is not in her life and her father is a criminal out of jail that uses his daughter to get money from Rajshri. She doesn't have to worry about Kuhu's safety but with Mishti she knows her father has bad intentions and can hurt Mishti. (accident)

How much does Kuhu know Kunal and vise versa? Just meeting once and checking out each others online profiles is not a reason to fall in love and want to marry a person. Kuhu's thoughts on love and marriage are based on fantasy and not reality. Why is she so attached to him? What she has is a bad crush on him that is not love based on a relationship that will make for a marriage. She needs to mature and get out of her hashtag mode before can think to marry.

Rajshri didn't care for the family after the Kuhu rejection. They hadn't accepted the proposal for Mishti. It is only after seeing how caring Kunal and Abeer are as brothers that she considered that they are not bad boys. She thinks that they are very caring individuals it's just their mother is a control freak.

We know Mishti will end up with Abeer and Kunal with Kuhu at the end so why to worry. Mishti did not do anything to get the proposal. She was just present. It is just a matter of time before Kunal's mom insults her too as she doesn't want to get him married to a girl that has a voice of her own.

For Abeer and Kunal's mother it is all about control and everyone is her puppet to manipulate. Despite that her son's are still very loving and caring people.



I know arranged marriages happen but I will say a girl shouldn't take anything a guy or guys family says to heart. We should understand not everyone will like us and that is ok. There is someone who will accept you for who you are and that is the person that you too should accept in your life.


@bold- Agreed. Kuhu's reasons for wanting to marry Kunal are definitely superficial. I think that is the whole point of her character and we will see how her childish romanticisation of marriage or Kunal for that matter will be vanquished with time.

At this point, Kuhu does not realise what a huge commitment marriage is and thinks superficial attributes like good looks and style are enough. I think getting married to Kunal will be a reality check for her- realising what marriage is and that life is not a fairytale.

As for Rajshri, she may love both girls but her behaviour does come off as being overly obsessed with Mishti and thinking Kuhu is fine because she has both parents. Won't this actually create disparity? Yes, Kuhu has parents who love her but one cannot ignore her because of this reason.

You can love both girls as is shown by other members of the Maheshwari family including her own husband. He does not play favourites but clearly loves both Kuhu and Mishti.

@red- Sure, that is true in theory. The problem is how Meenakshi executed it. She humiliated Kuhu and frankly, it does seem like Kuhu is taking it well 'cause she herself said that she will get someone better. Kuhu is hiding the hurt she feels in front of her family and deserves credit for that.

I just watched 11th Apr's episode. Mishti and Shaurya gave me so much hope in the opening scene⭐️. Even the conversation between Maheshwaris and Rajvanshs was very good.

You just got to ignore the nachna gaana.. or rather just enjoy it as eye candy factor. Makes me happy that Kunal has fun when he gets an opportunity. 🥳

So glad that they havent shown any love interest between Mishti and Kunal (yet... please God err Maker... please).

annnd that slight attraction between Kuhu and Kunal... haye!!!

Lol I enjoy the naach gaana because I think of these functions as an opportunity for me to keep up with Indian fashion. 😉

Thank God but I don't think Kunal-Mishti will be attracted to each other at all (small mercies). Does not change how awkward this is though. Both will be falling for the other sibling while being engaged to each other.

KuKu- I agree. I was quite charmed by them. 😳 I had originally thought there relationship would start off with Kuhu fangirling over Kunal but looks like Kuhu will give him attitude and Kunal will be the one trying to get her attention. 😆

I agree @Clarity. I dont see anything happening between Mishti and Kunal. The elders will just make castles in the air. I was very pleased with how Shaurya and Mishti with help from Kuhu pushed the envelope with BadiMa re Courtship.
Kunal was affected by Kuhu the night of Holi. That is why I expect mutual attraction. I was facepalming when I saw the Maheshwaris had dragged Kuhu to this event, but eventually I was glad she came. The girl is impressive. Kunal cant help but be attracted

Its Mishti who will be busy analyzing the Rishta and fall for the other guy in that process

Speaking of fashion, I loved Kuhu's jacket yesterday.

Badi Maa when Mishti said she wants to get to know Kunal-


I saw a comment on YouTube which said 'Badi Maa's expression is as if Mishti asked for a kidney'. 🤣 So true. Badi Maa would probably give her kidney more easily than this.

Poor Mishti. Well, Mishti's caution will serve her well, as we know. Her guard will be up with Kunal but she won't realise that Abir will sneak in.

Kuhu's jacket- Me too. I also liked what Ketki wore today for her sangeet. Contemporary.

I observed this on YRKKH as well- these shows are a goldmine of information on the latest trends since in every episode they have some other pooja, ceremony, festival on. One would think the whole calendar year is full of holidays in India. 😆
