Sanaya bday segment on SBS

Episode

Nothing happened ... or rather, half step forward and two steps back ... urrgghhhh!!! Dragging has been perfected to a fine art ... either that or a rushed end :(

So Sanu scene - no surprises from yesterday's precap - Samrat overhears Dhruv and Nupur's conversation, and finally ... FINALLY ... one confrontation leads to a confession on Nups' part - she admits to Sam that she's the real Nupur. Decent acting by both - very good by Samrat, his breakdown, touching Nups again and again, crying out of sheer joy, his disbelief ... especially as he had convinced himself she wasn't their Nups ... Nups was good too, showing her relief that she could finally confide in someone.
The scene setup wasn't satisfactory though - it was more like - oh great, you're back, let's go tell the others ... for once, I felt more focus should have been on Nupur, on Sam asking her - who, what, how, why ... and a little more should have been there on how and why Nups stayed with Dhruv for so long, especially after yesterday's supremely idiotic scene where she found out for the first time that Dhruv had rigged the accident ...
Anyway, then the usual 'please don't tell anyone' scene ... MJHT has been fairly unique till now because of the LACK of such scenes and absence of this idiotic secret keeping, now it degenerated rapidly into the Ekta/saas-bahu kind of show, where 'kisiko mat batana' is overused all the time ... you KNOW not telling is gonna cause more problems but it serves one purpose and one only - to DRAG the track!
So one step back ...

Then the Sam-Majan scene ... where suddenly Mayank has convinced Gunjan that this is NOT Nupur - honestly, Gunjan, I thought you had changed enough to stick to your opinions regardless of what anyone said, but again you're listening to others despite your own convictions ... plus, in the last Gunur scene, i thought Gunjan was smart enough to pick up WHY Nupur swore on her herself rather than on Gunjan ... turns out she wasn't ... disappointment! And M, after that filmy fight, still doesn't think anything of Nups rushing to him rather than to her 'fiance' ... Another step back ...
So suddenly Majan are good Samaritans and want to help Nups out of her domestic violence situation, but now Sam stops them and says we'll deal with it ourselves ... hello? Have they started a Help Strangers cell in Excel among other things? And Majan don't even suspect? Again, disappointing ... would expect Gunjan to at least wonder why Sam is behaving uncharacteristically ... does she? Or Mayank? They both give Sam wondering looks, but then, that could mean anything, or nothing. CV's have to plan ahead. cos the actors are good, they just need to know what they're supposed to be doing!

DN scene ... amd I glad this track is not on Gunjan ... I would be hating it! Anyway, I don't think Gunji could ever cosy up to any guy other than Samrat ... she'd have killed herself first! Regardless of any reason!
And Dhruv has learnt from Nups - shouting and shrieking in the name of acting!
UURRGGHHH!

Sam-Roash ... Sam confides in RoAsh??? Another Uurrgghhh! And the scene degenerates into Sam's 'planning' ...

DN ... more of the same ... uuurrrgghhhh!!!
So most of the episode was uuurrrgghhh ... except somewhat for the first scene ...

Thank God for Sanaya's birthday and the Monaya SBS :)
