It's annoying how Samaira and Sid are getting so much screentime when Vaishnavi and Nakul have gotten almost zero screentime. There have hardly been two episodes focused on Nakul and Vaishnavi, while Sid and Samaira get at least three minutes in every episode. It's not fair at all.

I have a strong feeling that Tripti killed Aparna, Mr. Dasgupta’s ex-wife, and that Shankar (Mr. Dasgupta's ex driver) witnessed it. Otherwise, why would he blackmail Tripti and ask her to pay 3 lakh per month? Given Tripti’s history, this theory seems plausible.

This is so annoying. I thought the whole point of moving these characters to the spin-off was so that all of them could get equal screen time, but alas! They've ruined it all. I only started rewatching the spin-off after the 10-year leap, and I was genuinely rooting for Karthik-Vrinda. I thought Vrinda had changed, but she's getting more annoying by the day. She keeps blaming Angad and even said that Karthik reminded her of "Angad." Like, seriously? Girl, before you point fingers at others, maybe also take a look at yourself. Both Angad and Vrinda are big-time red flags. At this point, I feel like they both deserve each other, and Karthik should just stay away from her. However, I feel that at least Angad has realized his mistake, whereas Vrinda is still talking to some random man over chat despite being engaged. It's so weird.

And WTF is wrong with Munni? She worked her ass off to become a collector, only to leave her job and stay at home? Why? Her entire personality has become "bhabhi, bhabhi" now. Rithik also has no role left. Saloni didn't have much personality to begin with, but I thought she was going to have some character development, and I'm glad that she's at least taking a stand for Aarav. It's annoying to see Vrinda constantly interfering in how Saloni is trying to raise Aarav.

And the kids are annoying too! At least Akshay is a bit more mature. I find Timsy and Madhavi so annoying and spoiled. Like, sisters, maybe study and worry about your future a little bit? I also find it annoying that Vrinda and Rithik-Munni don't scold them enough for not studying. Munni, especially, should be sharing her story with Timsy and telling her about the importance of education. Also, these kids are 15, yet they behave like college students. Heck, even college students are at least a little serious about their studies.

The younger kids are way smarter and more ambitious than these two girls. At least Dev-Saloni's daughter is a mini-businesswoman, and Aarav has an ambition to become a singer. Timsy and Madhavi don't study, and Madhavi dreams of becoming an influencer without even finishing school, while Timsy just does nothing-she's always munching on junk food. The saddest part is that none of the adults really seem to be trying to guide them. These kids seriously need some counseling.

So apparently, Samaira is just 21 years old. Idk how that's possible, but apparently she is. I think we were all speculating that she's around 25/26 because, prior to the leap, they were making her look like a teenager (around 15-16 years old), and before the 6-year leap, Samaira and Ronak looked like they were around 9-10 years old. But Ekta mata, again, kudos to you for completely messing up the ages and timeline.

Also, the Viranis- especially Tulsi and Karan- are such conservative people. Marriage at the age of 21? I mean, let the girl at least finish grad school and gain some financial independence. But nah, they need to marry her off at such a young age. When the 10-year leap happened, I thought Samaira was doing her MBA or something.

Gomzi's family is way more practical and better. At least they didn't force their son to do something he didn't want to do. And he also got married after gaining some work experience, and not when he was young and immature.

Tulsi and Karan preach about being progressive, but then turn around and do shit like this.

1. Timsy, Garima, Akshay, and Madhavi should be 14-15 years old, yet they are portrayed as 18- to 20-year-old young adults. At least they depicted Madhavi as an 11th grader, but Garima is shown as a college student, which makes no sense. All these kids were born during the 6 years Tulsi was in Anjar, which means that prior to the 10-year leap, they were at most 5 years old. Only Samaira and Raunak look true to their age.

2. ​Parth was introduced as Tanya and Karan's son at the beginning of the show. However, when he died and Nandini was reminiscing about his childhood, they showed him in a cradle, trying to imply that he was actually Nandini's biological child.

3. ​Prior to the 6-year leap, when Parvati appeared on the show, it was stated that Parth had willingly transferred Baa's property to Tulsi, and that Karan and Nandini had no idea. In fact, I still remember them asking, "yeh tumne kab kiya Parth?" to which he responded, "kuch saal pehle kiya tha." Yet later, when Parth was revealed to be a villain, he claimed that Karan had forced him to transfer the property to Tulsi and that he never actually wanted to do it.

Can someone make this make sense? All these kids were born during the six-year period when Tulsi was in Anjar. At most, they should be 15 years old right now. I don't know why Ekta always does this.

​I remember she did the exact same thing in Kasauti 2. Mr. Bajaj's daughter looked about five years old when she was first introduced. Yet, after a seven-year leap, she was suddenly old enough for college, even though she should have been around 12. Students are usually 17 or 18 when they start college.

​Now, we are seeing the exact same issue here. How is Garu already being shown as a college student? She and Madhavi should both be in the 10th or 11th grade. At least Madhavi is depicted as an 11th grader. Also, I don't think they ever mentioned Timsy's school or college, did they? But she should be in the 11th or 12th grade too. I guess Ekta just wants to make these characters old enough to have relationship drama, but why not learn from the mistakes of past shows?

Also, it's funny how Rithik, Pari, Angad used to call themselves "Genz" kids before, and now after the 10-year leap, they're referring their kids as "GenZ".

I think we're all really pissed off about the sudden villainization of Parth over the last four episodes or so. It's heartbreaking how they ruined our expectations, especially for people like me who were genuinely rooting for Parth and Vaish since Day 1. First, he slut-shamed her, and now he's suddenly turned into a full-blown villain. Actually, he's a monster, and a chapri one at that. The kind of crass language he uses for Vaish makes even Ranvijay look like a saint in comparison.

Now, I want to talk about some inconsistencies in the show. I know there are already many inconsistencies between Seasons 1 and 2 (for example, in Season 1, Parth was Karan and Nandini's son, but in Season 2, he's Karan and Tanya's son). I still gave that a pass because I thought, okay, maybe the writers are different from Season 1, or maybe they simply didn't remember all the details.

But what really bugs me are the inconsistencies within Season 2 itself. During the episode where Paravati came to Shanti Niketan, I clearly remember them saying that Parth had transferred the property to Tulsi without Karan and Nandini knowing. I also remember Karan and Nandini asking him, "Yeh tumne kab kiya, Parth?" and his response was, "Kuch saal pehle kiya tha."

Now, in the recent episodes, Parth is claiming that Karan forced him to transfer the property to Tulsi. Like, WTF? Do they even remember what they wrote?

Now, I haven't been watching the spin-off, but I've seen multiple posts about it, so I got to know about the whole baby-swap drama. It's so dumb. If the baby swap has already happened, then they've probably already taken a 7-8 month leap, right? Because it's already been about 1-2 months since the pregnancies of the 3 bahus were announced.

However, Kyunki is still operating on the same timeline as before. And in today's episode, Parth was shown talking to Dev, where Dev was asking him about his honeymoon with Vaish. So does that mean the spin-off is 7-8 months ahead while Kyunki is still in its original timeline, yet the characters are somehow communicating across two completely different timelines? 🤔

Please make it make sense to me.

I think we all argued a lot on this sub during Rio's entry whether Tulsi did the right thing by bringing Rio to Shanti Niketan. As viewers, most of us argued that Rio shouldn't have been brought to Shanti Niketan as it's unfair to Nandini. However, I was always against this thought. Her trauma is completely valid but that doesn't give her the right to treat others unfairly. And mind you, neither Nandini nor Tulsi know the villainous side of Rio, yet still Nandini was quick to blame Rio for assaulting Khushbu, and even before the Khushbu incident she kept implying that Rio is Ansh's 'khoon', so he'll be exactly like his father. She also kept blaming Tulsi how she is being unfair to her while conveniently forgetting that Tulsi literally killed her own son for her.

Now fast forward to today's episode, despite Tulsi being the witness for the domestic abuse that Vaishnavi faced from Parth, she refuses to believe that he would ever do something like that. And to add to that, she says, "mujhe nahi janna ki pati patni ke beech kya hua hai". Like seriously? Did you forget what your MIL once did for you? Tulsi could have also easily said "mujhe nahi jannna Ansh aur tumhare beech kya hua hai". Where's that empathy for your own daughter-in-law? I honestly lost respect for her the day she slutshamed Vaishnavi but today's dialogue was the final nail in the coffin.

Since the last 2-3 episodes, Vaishnavi's hair, makeup and outfits have started looking nice. Girl is pretty, and I've been saying this over and over again, that she needed a better styling. Earlier, her hair used to look so shabby, makeup looked weird and uneven, and they used to make her wear unflattering suits that used to make her look way older than she really is. In today's episode, she looked so pretty in that baby pink suit. Makeup could still improve though.

Ugh, it's annoying to see how Rio is trying to create misunderstandings between Parth and Vaishnavi. And now, they're gonna further character assassinate her. This is so sad to see. I hope Rio is exposed soon.

Hi folks! I know this has been discussed many times here before, but I want to discuss it again. The timelines and ages are so messed up. Does anyone know how old Rio is supposed to be?

Before the leap, Tulsi and Mihir had been married for 38 years. They didn’t exactly reveal Parth's age prior to the leap, but he must have been at least 20 years old because he revealed that he transferred the property to Tulsi (the one that Baa gave him), and he said that he had done that a few years ago (prior to the 6-year leap). Now, assuming he was at least 20 years old before the 6-year leap, it implies that Karan had been married for at least 21 years, right? But then that would mean that Tulsi and Mihir got married at the age of 16?

I haven't watched season 1 fully, but I read that at the beginning they showed Mihir had already completed his MBA. Usually, people complete their MBA at the age of 23 or 24, if they do not take years off. They did a huge blunder here. It should have started with Mihir and Tulsi celebrating their 45th anniversary. This way, the timeline and the ages would have at least made some sense.

Another thing is that in one of the episodes where they were trying to promote Ekta's astrology app, they revealed that Noina was born in 1970. That would mean that her current age is 55. Given that Mihir and Noina were friends, I'm assuming Mihir is around the same age. So, then how the f* do they have a grandchild (Parth) who is almost 26 years old? And also, Rio is said to be much older than Parth, but they were trying to portray him as someone in his early 20s. None of this makes any sense.

I couldn't care less about Angad and Vrinda, but I feel like it was completely unnecessary to send Manjuri and Rithuk to the spin-off. Does this mean that all the characters who moved to Jamshedpur aren't going to return to Shanti Niketan? How exactly is this supposed to work? Did Tulsi forget that she has two other sons and a daughter? This is so damn weird!

Angad and Vrinda are apparently on the verge of divorce, and they haven't even told Tulsi about it. Plus, I noticed that in Kyunki, they didn't even show Tulsi saying goodbye to Manjuri and Rithik! Like, WTF?

See, I totally understand that Nandini has trauma, but it’s not Rio’s fault that he looks exactly like Ansh. After everything Ansh did to her, Tulsi even killed her own son for Nandini’s sake, which is something very few mothers could ever do. So what more can Tulsi realistically do now?

At this point, I feel like Nandini needs therapy and support to heal from her trauma, because Rio himself hasn’t done anything wrong. Otherwise, maybe it’s better if she and Karan move out instead of constantly forcing Tulsi to choose between her family members.

All her life, Tulsi has done things for others, and this time, if she wants to give equal rights to Ansh’s illegitimate son, and if that makes her happy, I don’t think that’s wrong.

What are your thoughts?
