Just when there was slight improvement in ratings of the show with Sailee coming back to DH with dignity, makers are going downhill further with this show…

Bahu No. 1 Sailee - did workout and ate well for one whole whopping day and she’s battled PMOS/PCOS to already become pregnant 😵‍💫 and to top it all off- Sailee has a stab wound and she’s refusing to go to the emergency and waits for that flower association results while Sachin gawar but even educated Akash Riya are made to partake in her nonsense decision. 😭 On top she’s jumping out of bed to not upset her pyari Kaku next morning ready to gladly serve her. 🤢

Bahu No. 2 Kalyani- Gosh how much will writers pretend we all still feel for that fraud after everything. At least until her reveal she was gray borderline and Tanvi’s act made you feel for Kalyani but it’s been so nasty post her expose either with her lying and fraudulently winning court cases, using suicide to threaten Tejas to her verbal abuse of Krish now. If that wasn’t enough the way she talked about Krish this week 🤕. She literally told her mother “Uss shaadi se mujhe Kya mila… YEH KRISH”! Poor kid…and now this freaking pregnancy drama… it looks like writers are reinforcing this insult to show Roshni get her karma with the lesson of no one believing her anymore with the truth due to her lies, but do we really need a 10 minute scene of her and Tejas sleeping together 🥴 ewww. At least Akash Riya look cute when they’re romancing but these two! Yuck. Also Tejas is ruined beyond redemption now too. Poor Harini. I actually liked the chick was cute and chill.

Did anyone watch today’s episode?

It seems clear as lemonade today that creatives are paving way for Indranil to gravitate back towards Nayanika!

They’re increasingly showing his anger turn a notch more nowadays whenever Angana trash talks about her or Tinni, and even Angana who was shown chill earlier seems only a lite version of Shreya when it comes to making comments on N and T. Plus he only married Angana due to a ONS mistake that knocked her, and not true attraction + love where he was having a full fling affair due to not loving N like other shows. He isn’t resentful to Angana but also seems platonic almost just living life with her. It’s very easy to show that Angana lied, the kid ain’t his to release Neel quickly from this life.

Today they also showed him questioning his mom that why is she working in kitchen despite sickness, so it seems he was a protective husband, and her doctor pal yesterday told her she should at least tell Neel professionally being a doctor dealing with her type of sickness. He may find out at work about N’s issue. That will surely make him emotionally weak and interfere and take more interest in Nayanika.

Hope this doesn’t happen … but if Tinni has to be shown against IshaNika, they’re going to at one point maybe also show her mingle with her dad to hurt her or just be vulnerable enough to want him in her life to keep Ishaan away.

Firstly, what happened to that negligence case against this woman due to that young actor’s death on her show’s set? 😵‍💫

Because if that doesn’t bell this cat, yeh generational gandh phaila ke rahegi on ITV. Luckily post Jhanak’s downfall all her other naukraani fantasies have failed, however now she’s back with another one in Nayanika!

Like wtf, now that she’s out of showing young college age girls as unpaid maid in her shows, this time she’s stepped up a notch showing an ENT surgeon as one 😭. At least should’ve shown she had no maternal family left hence didn’t want her daughter to grow without familial bonds, but no her family seems to be present and yet this doormat listens to her dumb MIL all day. Also icky how everyone was sooo peppy normal with Neel and his second wife minus the FIL but he seems like another spineless pendulum FIL.

Plus, what’s this thok ke bhaav mein copy paste of OG Jhanak cast here? Ok it’s never wrong to repeat your trusted circle of artists, most PH do that but wtf is just copy pasting their characters too? Patrali is back as Bipasha ki first hand copy, Jethu actor is back as another puppet, Ani’s harami dad is back as a two timer this time let’s not talk how mismatched and old he looks against Madirakshi, and Kishori Shahane has clearly found footing in playing cultural variations of Bhavani Chavan!

I’ll agree the show is still well shot and edited enough that I didn’t skip it in FF mode, good investment for concert shoots and set design, but it’s just hard to digest Nayanika’s slavery to her in laws.

Ujjaini is so right in her stance for her mom and against her dad, but I do honestly feel girl is shown way too harsh in her demeanor, wish they showed her way of talking as more street smart or respectfully fierce like Nayanika is to her ex vs full time rude, or at least had more emotional hurt in expressing it vs being brash.

I do feel they’re showing Ishaan’s liking for N very amateurish and has no depth with how he’s already pestering her for dinner in recaps. Like two episodes he’s lattu behind Nayanika. Agree with him though what a joke with Madirakshi playing mom to an adult, this kid should’ve been a 12-13 yo teen and could’ve had same temperament.

Does anyone here know the baseline story of the OG show? Do post a brief!

PSA: Yaar there’s enough we contribute to hating Upmaa, can we please keep her shortcomings aside today and focus on the topic as usual 😬.

Haan bhai as per the title of the post: Which is your favorite arc of Anu’s Thappad Prasadi to her naashukre kids, kids-in-laws, or whatever walking praani on the show?

My favorite one was absolutely the one Paakhi got during her sangeet with Muskaan playing it. 😮‍💨

The one deviji gave her for trying to blow Kapadia money with her brat self galore! The build up to Paakhi’s brattish demands, attitude and disrespect towards her now middle class family, Anu finding out her jewelry spend, then the one on one show down in the bedroom with the grand finale of Paakhi getting thrown out and wedding cancelled was peak Anupamaa Anuj Kapadia. It came at a time when people wanted to see her as Mrs. Kapadia and not Shah bacchon ki maa. Muskaan is still the best Paakhi imo.

I think the above and the one she gave to Kaavya during KinTosh wedding were truly trp winning ones. Even Toshu’s ONS expose was good. Ashish was so good as Paritosh!

The one Rahi got today was much awaited but lol, I still wish it was about her being a brat more than her mudslinging Anu about that new Dadaji. Also Anupamaa should’ve been more stern after the slap then get emotional like she does with Paakhi, maza aata 🤣.

I still smirked how she told her to take a pic of her red cheeks and blue knees and save it to remind herself not to come between parents 😭. Also telling BOTH her and her useless Prem to not bring up the inspection anymore again.

Can’t believe it took Rahi Ki dhulaai to make me watch this show again 🤣

First thing to not start a fan war- it’s not Appu’s entire character that’s annoying me, but certain aspects only.

I feel the writing lacks consistency.

The same girl who didn’t fear telling off her sister’s in laws or scheming off Rakshit to get the boat, can’t believe she’s putting up with so much abuse from Lalit without taking firm actions but just moping and hoping her parents take her back? Yeah ok you’re penniless, but let’s not act like your family is capable of any more than feeding you meals. Last week I liked how A is protective of her loved ones no matter life’s harshness, however the Lalit trauma she narrated today just made me roll my eyes! It doesn’t cost or is hard to report violence to police and find NGO shelter, clearly she shouldn’t be afraid of society shame since she’s ok leaving Lalit and staying with her family anyways? Point being itna hi bechari traumatized dikhana hai then shouldn’t have tried to show her bold and smart either 🧐

The plotted up letter drama is sooo cringe. Like her mother really believes she’s become very materialistic and her wimp father despite having doubts about letter sounding too selfish for his daughter doesn’t once convince his wife let’s TALK with her? Even if to make her understand to be content. Ok I get it it’s a tv soap but the drag is just stupidly presented. This swap could’ve been a major reveal later imo. Anyways entire Shrimali gang is so shallow no one would’ve been shocked for once they had the real letter and behaved like this.

Now coming to the totality of this Shrimali family- Kya hi bakwas characters hai. They’re copy pasting Kartik-Nuts-Ayesha from BALH but PUHLEASEEE 🥱 these siblings are not toe level to either the writing or acting. Those kids (talking about peak 2-300 episodes) were shrewd and spoilt but still saw their own err and valued their older sibling’s love, teachings, and sacrifice when life got tough.

The so called son LITERALLY yelled at the father for increasing expenses by getting sick? 🤢 and that gutter crawlie Aaradhya who looks 30 acts 20 and lurvesss that MF rich chapri who has a missing spine … and love. Dharti pe bojh hai woh just openly show her a Vamp atp who wants a rich guy to fulfill her desires. Her love is more like delulu.

Lastly that chunky cute friend of hers- earlier I thought there’s some valid past to A’s brother’s bitterness towards his sister, like maybe he had warned her of Lalit or she didn’t help him in some mess he’s upset about, but nahi, ladka apne baap ki dawai aur saans gin raha hai, talks trash to her bff and this so called nice girl loves this trash? Make it make sense! 😵‍💫

Writers and team really need to ace the drama and cut down on this bland, insipid, badly cast and written Shrimali family. Lalit should’ve come so much earlier too. The actor looks promising from the precap and past flashes. There’s no reason to drag stuff post IPL because unfortunately it got aired during IPL and team will have to go guns blazing to draw audience no matter the viewership impact. No one will want to tune in weeks later to catch up vs when it’s still new. Maheshwar Ghat was well done btw.

First things first- NO- Any random actor Pearl this that or whoever CAN NOT play Ansh’s son or himself or his brother in this season.

I’m sorry I’m seeing a lot of this debate and I need to know HOW and WHAT shock value, iconic arc return, or call back this does to OG Tulsi and season 1 wrt to casting another actor…

Coming to the point of this post- put in your best creative arcs to reintroduce Akashdeep Saigal as Ansh/ Rio Jio for the ultimate (yet what became a clownfest of) climax today due to bad writing and styling…

Here’s Mine:

1. Since Ekta was the pioneer of bringing dead back to life brains aside - easiest way was to make this character comeback as Ansh himself who survived the single most iconic bullet of Tulsi and death, and was found years later by Karan living with no memory of past. He had somehow come to Mumbai and Karan does his best so his maa and wife don’t see him. Add moral dilemma of stepson not letting mother know her own blood is alive.

2. Viranis are famous and rich and a big family, this actor plays Ansh’s age and is a random duplicate whom a villain like RV finds out randomly and uses this dupe to fool and traumatize Karan into paying him $ to keep him away to not traumatize Nandini and Tulsi. Ultimately he finds too much about Ansh and double crosses RV to make everyone believe he’s Ansh.

3. NOINA plays the same as idea above since Tulsi herself gave her the backstory of killing her son while ousting her from Shantiniketan. She already tried to use Gomzi too so why not an Ansh lookalike to just give her trauma this time and possibly make TuHir fight showing Mihir might show mercy to his blood. She plays that it’s their Ansh for climax reveal it was just a lookalike.

4. Just use the same freaking look and styling of Ansh they gave Sky in Naagin 2 months ago 😡 and make him look less troll worthy than the clown show today.

What could you have done and think can still do to make today’s messy face off better? 🧐🥳
