15/5 - Epi 253 ... Distraught

Tuesday 15th May

Have a feeling this week's titles will be the different shades of Khushi - the week has definitely started off that way :)

So glad they got the 'masala Mama' bit out of the way at the start ... they needed a filler track, as Sanaya cannot possibly be on screen 22 minutes every day ... Gajini Mama is any day better than Mini Lalita P. And Mama is actually amusing ... with Mami's Chandu Bandhu :))
Payash make up ... kind of ... somewhat ... I dunno ... didn't pay much attention ... they're less interesting than even masala Mamu.

 Is this the Khushi realisation track, or the Arnav dimaag baati jaloing track? Whichever it is, it's got off to a rocking start. =D>

Sanaya the star of today ... Khushi confronts Shyam about the missing papers straight away - he stonewalls. She's confused ... but disbelieving ... later again upset ... 'why did you leave, Arnavji? Couldn't you have waited to hear Shyam out?'
Bitiya, even if Arnav had stayed, there's no way in hell Shyam was going to tell Arnav anything close to the truth ... and neither would Arnav believe anything except what he already believes ... wake up and smell the coffee!!!

Khushi's nightmare was beautifully done ... the links back to the past, to their very first meetings... the pearls, and she remembers his breaking her dori ... the key, and she remembers the mannat ki chaabi ... the payal, and she remembers him putting it on her ... and Khushi;s frantic calls for Arnav as he calls her name again and again ... and she wakes up in tears ... and frantic with worry - 'he should have reached by now ...'
And wakes up the whole family ... who sees how worried she is for Arnav ... and all try to comfort her ... all confident she is worrying without any reason. Shyam seemed more worried about his sleep being disturbed than about anyone getting to know Arnav was missing ...

And then a message on Khushi's phone ... reached London, battery low, will call later.
And Khushi looks at the phone suspiciously ... was she wondering whether he would message her at all, after their parting? Already suspicious?

Precap - Stranger with the Phone ...
And I can't wait for tomorrow ... and the rest of the week ... this track is well laid out, and Sanaya is rocking it!!!
SN - she looked like a dream in the white nightsuit with her hair all loose and tumbled ... innocent, ethereal, utterly beautiful ... why couldn't Arnav see her like this? If he had ... *MIG alert!!!*

*edited*
Khushi accuses Shyam of having the papers, he counter-attacks, she wonders at first, then doubts again arise ... he says why would I have come to the airport if I had them ... she's doubtful again ... but not convinced completely by his acting ...

Masala Mama arrives ... from the Ghajini track, wonder if he will see anything useful and go through the drama of almost forgetting, almost remembering ... or is he here just to add a filler track since Bubbly didn't work.Should have guessed he was a relative of Mami's the moment he put on his goggles in the middle of the night!
Why do all Mami's relatives keep tapkofying at the RM? Hotel samajh rakha hai kya?!
Khushi keeps shooting Shyam suspicious looks, he looks as innocent as he can ... 

Payash-MLP- Mami - Mami discovers that Payal is not a bhoot ... and that Bubbly has cut the pictures of Payal ...

Khushi (looking like a dream in her white night salwar and open hair :">) ... decides she can't trust Shyam at all ... yes, you can't, sweetheart, not for the papers, not to tell the truth, just give up on this as a bad job and find the papers, there's a dear :)  - it was a bad idea in the first place.
And she sees Arnav's towel, and remembers him ... she needs to find the papers before he returns ... but why did he leave, he could have come home and heard Shyam out ... and he would trust her ... the thing that is upsetting her the most ...
No, she won't give up, she has to do something ...
And she sees the recliner ... and remembers fighting to share it, waking up in the morning with her MS entangled in his shirt ... loved the way she clutched her MS as though trying to hold on to tangible evidence of his touch ... silent tears again ...
Lies down on the bed ... more memories ... his leaving her hand at the airport ... looking at the empty bed next to her and remembering the time they shared a bed ... waking up holding his shirt, waking up to see him holding her hand ... and the tears flow again ...

Payash - Akash says sorry to Payal, Payal realises that Bubbly is being KMH ... finally one dimaag ki batti lights up.

Khushi's nightmare ... "Khushi!" Arnav's voice - she statles and sits up ... it's him? Runs and stumbles over ... pearls ... their first meeting ...
And she's in a nightmare, hearing only his voice calling her ... runs, stumbles again .. the mannat ki chaabi ... their first challenge ...
 He's still calling her ... she calls back desperately ... don't go! where are you? ... and sees a third object ... her payal ... the night their relationship changed for ever ...
And he's still calling her ... softly now, loudly now ... and she wakes up screaming his name ... She looks at her hands ... the key, the pearls, where are you, Arnavji? Was it a nightmare? If so, why is she so upset?
He should have reached by now ... then why has nobody told her? Why hasn't he called yet?

She wants to call ... maybe she should ask Di first ... but at this time of night? She calls again and again, getting more and more distraught ... panicky ... rushes out into the hall and knocks over a vase, waking everyone ...
Akash and Payal reach first and Khushi is almost crying with anxiety ... I can't reach him on the phone ... they, Nani and Mami try to console her but she is inconsolable ... almost hysterical in her anxiety ...
Shyam Anjali also reach ... Shyam looked sleepy more than anything ... and irritated at being woken up - was he acting? Arnav would be just reaching, maybe his mobile is still off. Mami says he's gone to London, not Lucknow (a hint that he's in Lucknow?)
Akash agrees ... he would be reaching shortly ...
And Khushi's phone beeps a message ... Reached London, battery low, will call later ...
Everybody is relieved ... now she will calm down.
Khushi is suspicious ... would Arnav sms her? After the way they parted?

Precap - Khushi sends back a message ... ok. And a strange man receives it. Hmm ...

Sanaya's episode through and through ... the nightmare with the fb's was brilliant ... although the set could have been bigger, she had no place to run! :) And Khushi's hysterical panic as she can't reach Arnav and her intuition tells her that something is wrong ... again brilliant! Waiting for the track to unfold ...
Doesn't look like Shyam is the kidnapper .. is it a blast from the past? Or Arnav's own master plan?

  1. Good episode.. Sanaya Girl you rocked... the whole nightmare scene..

    Ok not very happy with entry of Masala Mama.. but then with LLP out we need some one for Mami for comdey so .. but I sure this guy will have some good reason to enter other than just slapstick comedy.

    RRR tries to convince that he doesn't have papers, if he had why would he come to the Airport. K confused. But says will not believe him, she has FB's of A with Recliner and a nightmare - sensing A in danger, she tries to call him but can't reach. RM vasi trying to console her telling her that he might have not reached yet. K receives an SMS saying reached London, battery low will call later and she msgs back saying ok,
    Precap - looks interesting with a guy picks ASR phone to read the msg. .. now that something to look forward for!!!
    SN - Loved how the whole RM sees K panicking for A,
    Shwets now am sure the recliner breakdown is going be there for sure..
    Love sanaya in the whole nightmare thing, she finding the first thing that’s connected to him the pearls, then the mannat ki chabbi and then her payal. Wow CV’s that beautiful one set of FB’s to show.

    4. Shwets me too was just pushing her saying bitiya take that recliner, towel chalega !!! shwets Godjee pls make her do that .. then Godjee said have patience I have surprise for you girls , khushi looking beautiful angelic - which bitwa would not have been able to handle ....
      we will get that recliner one with the shirt sure, this is start, she has be pushed more , then will the recliner will have its effects.

      Now am more eger to see this come true!! - its going to mind blowing for sure...

    5. they are using FB's properly for Khushi ..... Hope they will keep it this way and not send her to amnesia like they did with Arnavs after Holi !

      yes we got different fb's .... aap bole aur na ho yeh kaise ho sakta hai BG !! I liked the fact that today's fb's din't feel like daily ASR dose :D

      Delete
    6. Sama Ditto, I too felt that they coolly slipped in the ASR DOSE. Like a kiddo being given medicine,lol.

      Aaru: I sooooooooo want this to happen ya.

      YO CV Sleuths, Give me her sleeping on the recliner and breaking down either holding His blue or white short..bothh have awesome memories assoicated with it - Blue for bandagement and White for Holi confession.

    7. Was there any ASR there at all today? Apart from his voice?

      Me too ... was pushing for the recliner ... but am sure it will come ...

    8. Diiiaaaaaaaa FB's ..... of course tha!!! Medicine ke bager mera kya hoga !!

      Shwetha I don't mind if the medicine is fed to the kid by stepping on its throat (ok that would be me)

    9. Even I thought she'd curl up on the recliner!! Lol... Too filmy I guess :-)

    10. Sama, ahh, yes, I forgot, realised on second watch ... his voice was actually more effective in the nightmare than the fb's ... although they were well-placed again today.

      Especially loved the two fb's of the hand-holding - she clutching his shirt, and he holding her hand.

      Am enjoying this track ... not missing Arnav, tbh ... he needs to be missing for the track to be effective.

  2. I absolutely LOVED THE EPI TODAY.

    Sanaya Khushi looked beautiful. Made me wonder, why she didn't once have the look around when Arnav was around (After great struggle, pulls out of MIG)

    Arnav is in Lucknow:

    Mami says he is in london and not in Lucknow, meaning he is in Lucknow.

    We saw the pearls, the chaabi - all relating to Lucknow.

    Arnav is visiting Godric Hollow, Oops I mean Lucknow where it all began.

    Not for his Love story with Khushi but for his hate story with Shyam.

    Shyam too belongs to Lucknow.

    CVs...Take a bow, one more fantastic episode.

    Random pointers:

    Did I mention Sanaya/Khushi looked beautiful today?

    Akshay looked damn hot today:)

    So Mami is realizing Bubbly may kuch toh gadbad hai.

    Akash apologized to Payal.

    Shyam denied having the papers.

    Whoever is the kidnapper guy is quite young AND Decent looking

    *BOOM - Did I just hear IF EXPLODING?

    Whole RM is witness to Khushi's concern for Arnav and even Mami was sweet about it.

    New entry: Jaldi karo exit! (And we are told he indeed has Ghajini effect and shyam will blurt out and do something thinking he will forget and Masala Mama (WT WT) Will remember it*yawn*

    Theory:

    Arnav is about to turn back gets called over by a guy who is actually a security agency guy handing over the report that Shyam indeed was PG.

    So arnav decides to head to Lucknow, he cant stay in a big hotel cos that would attract attention, so calls his childhood friend who tapkofied or had Aman arrange the whole thing and he has a Local Lucknowi guy who is anything but local so he can verify Who the hell is Shyam Jha?

      I think most of us had the thought but it slipped mine after her dream.

      "BOOM - Did I just hear IF EXPLODING?"

      Din't visit it yet but it must have :D :D

      Who know cvs might surprise us with this?!?! We said they are afraid of working on anything which does not have SaRun sharing the screen space .... They are doing a fav job now!!!

    2. Shwets I have wanted him to go to Lucknow - that is to the root of all issues. Let him know how K came to SM, how his giving out the clips in arrogance led to the Goons following K and shyam being the saving grace, how she was ridiculed in the society, which forced her to leave Lucknow and come to Delhi, how they lost everything they ever had..
      Will that guy be ASR's old friend ?? Who was the guy Payal was suppose to get married to ?? he was supposed to be there at SM na??

      Delete
    3. Aaru...Payals ex-fiance is some Abhishek guy....i think....
      what is SM? sorry..lost u there

    4. Sheesh Mahal, if i am not wrong :)

      Delete
    5. I think Abhishek is confined to history ... where Bubbly will very soon join him, god and cv's willing :)

      And me too hoping like mad now that Arnav is in Lucknow, using his shatir dimaag.

      "Sanaya Khushi looked beautiful. Made me wonder, why she didn't once have the look around when Arnav was around (After great struggle, pulls out of MIG)"
      If she had that look when Arnav was around, the MU would be a thing of the past ... she would be busy having babies :)))
      Oops, forgot ... *MIG ALERT!!!*

      The guy in precap cannot be Arnav replacement - he actually looked a cross between Shyam and someone else I can't place.

    6. Abhishek .... Dhruv .... Worse thing they did it with NK .... no proper Good-bye :'(

  3. Humko pyaar hua! Kuch toh yaar hua!! Loooooooooooved the dream sequence .... Khushis confusion, fear .... Sanaya rocked it, so did the team! Beautifully done! KUDOS !!

    Call me crazy but I like Masala Mama .... Phone conversation was Blah but rest was apt as Mamis brother. I liked Mamis introduction of bahuriyas

    Mami gets hold of bubbliya ... not directly but she gets to know KBT is not bhoot(?!) .... aahhh leading to end of bubbliyas MLP-ism

    Good Akaash said sorry with explanation to Payal, thats more in character for him.

    Shyamuuuuuuuu .... I love him .... A character who is always in character .... muaaaah

      Beautifully done ... agree completely.

    4. No bata chappals or pointy jimmy Choos pls! But I didn't like the dream sequence or the episode ... The dream sequence was too OTT for me. Just didn't like it.

      The only scene I liked in the whole eppy was the texting part...it was realistic.... You get worried about someone and try calling them and they're not reachable you immieditely panic and think the worst and just then they text or call... It's a diff thing that she should be wondering why he's messaging her and not his precious di. But still damn cute how she was struggling but texted back nevertheless. :-)

      Delete
    5. Gargi, I think she IS wondering that ... why he texted her and not his Di ... there was a very perplexed look on her face when she got the message, because he never messages her, he only calls her.

      And the texting is very realistic for me too - every time my hubby travels, he has to text me as soon as he lands ... standing instruction. Even when I come back from my parent's place, I text them as soon as I land and call later when home.

      I liked the dream sequence, especially the use of the pearls, the key and the payal as their first milestones... finally we're getting some decent story-telling.

  5. Okay I need my eyes checked i think.

    In the precap I thought I saw a youngish guy in late 20s wearing a suit who looked cultured, for a moment my heart skipped ki Nooooo, they changed ASR, BUT Told myself, Naah,they wouldn't dare.

    Now I read a post on IF KI the kidnapper was ugly.

    WAIT WAIT WAIT.

    ha ha, before anyone says beauty lies in the beholdoer, the whole thinking behind was to create confusion, have they replaced Barun, so like ASR did I see what I wanted to see CVs idea of fun ki we will give you a young guy so to keep you on tenterhooks.

    or was it really an ugly guy.

    HELPPPPPPPPPPPP:)

    4. Sama, he is not be supposed to be hotter than ASR unless he is Barun's replacement.

      My point is CVs need to show a decent guy to create confusion, Yeh Arnav hai ya koi aur.

      so far good going CVs.

      Guess we will find out from Barun at the BBC interview.

    14. The guy is definitely young ... but not ASR replacement for sure ... not the type. Looks like a hired goon type.

      How did you guys notice the suit in a half second glimpse??? Hats off *bowing to the fashion experts on R&R* :)))

  6. I liked the episode.. I was wishing for a fastforward button through the whole "my brother" drama, but khushi made up for it.. in spades!!

    yes, she looked fantastic.
    yes, the dream sequence was brilliant.
    yes, she looked every bit the distraught new bride worrying about her husband. even sham had a flash of sympathy in his voice :)

    the raizada ladies finally kitted out (the usual)nightclothes for the night. wonder why the pregnant anjali does not have any nighties??

    p.s. why would arnav text khushi? he's mad at her...
    and yet.. the guy who accepted the return text was sure easy on the eyes.. :)

    8. Rekha as long as ASR/Arnav is not a new guy am all for it too..

      Jaya khushi's is not sounding convinced yes that's one more reason she sent a msg back.

      Delete
    9. Cv's are smart ... they start the episode with Khushi and end it with Khushi and a small Khushi scene in the middle ... the filler crap is interspersed, so you have to watch the whole episode!

      So next question - why does the person not want Arnav to be discovered missing as of now? And obviously he does not know the equation between Arnav and Khushi, or he would not have texted Khushi, he would have texted Di.

      Khushi had been calling Arnav just before the text came, so her number would be first on the Missed calls list, and also on the received calls ... probably on the Dialed nubers as well, I don't remember him calling Anjali recently. So someone who doesn't know the family details, but knows she's his wife, would text her first.

      Delete
    10. it was more of a decoy.. EVERYBODY who calls arnav's phone gets a text.. only came to ODG because she called ... i guess if akash had called, he would be receiving the SMS.

      Delete
  7. Shweths....u don't need help...ok...let me put it this way...he is a lot better than what we would expect of a random extra....if its was ur expectation to see a character, who is basically an "extra", by that standards, he is pretty decent...
    But then if u found him hot....then i don't know...*winks* u found Akash hot today....*winks again*hehehe

      I first assumed it was Barun, then realized it was about a female. Assumed Sanaya was probably wanting one too. Also admitted that it could be about another show too.

      Some girl at redux pointed out that it was for Gopi Vahu.

      But we do know that there were budget issues that seem to have been sorted out apparantly and now we have date issues,lol.

  9. Sanaya looked beautiful in her white night salwar suit, and her missing Arnav was so so real that even I started missing Arnav, feeling so sad for the poor bacchi! Sanaya you rock.
    Is the new guy Aman, finally we got to see the mysterious Aman? Or he is some agent ASR hired..He was a young chap and dressed like ASR ! Cvs attempt to make us forget ASR and drool on someone else in the mean time
    CVs for the first time are trying to move the story without giving full screen time to the leads and it seems to be working till now. I so so wish they hadnt wasted two months in mindless comedy. May be they realize that the audience need something in terms of the story more than SARUN everyday and SARUN also need a break for shooting full episodes for weeks together.

    3. ABSOLUTELY....Any gud actor can bear the weight but has to be helped by the script
      Its important that CVs move the story....
      For god's sake its a love story where the leads have not yet confessed their love to each other and worse, they have a huge Issue between them
      Somewhere, CVs conveniently forgot that...after the marriage...one of the leads was sent on an amnesia trip and the other was sent around with half-baked ideas to resolve the situatio

    4. It's the story progression that is important ... we had almost two months of just Sarun at GH (mainly) with fultoo comedy, and that was NOT appreciated ...

      And two episodes with story progression, well placed scenes and good fb's, and we're back on track. Okay, after one solid week of story telling as well - last week was great too.

      Sanaya can easily carry a whole week if the screenplay is good ... Barun could also carry it if the screenplay was good ... and the supporting cast is used well ... in one of my old posts I was reading recently, there was an episode where Sarun were barely present, and not together at all, and I felt the episode was great.

    1. hey Sukhi.......really doubt if his movie is worth it....
      it seems his answer was non-committal....like when Noreen Khan asked if he is out for 4 weeks, he said something like that...

      if he quits...he is really stupid and over-confident......would feel sad for him if he quits and his movie bombs at the BO.....

    3. 4 weeks is a LONG time in daily soap land ... enough time for memories to fade. If we don't get fresh Arhi scenes for a whole month, the PH will find it very easy to put in a replacement, because everyone will be wanting A hero ... any hero ... and Sanaya would have taken over the show completely, because they will give her all strong scenes in the absence of a hero - someone has to carry the show! Plus, she can do it!!!

      Did he say he's out for 4 weeks in total, or 4 weeks now at one stretch?

      Delete
    4. Dia he said he will be gone a little over a month and then will be back to shoot and NK pointedly asked if he will be out for 4 weeks..he sounded totally non-committal and said yea something like that...

    6. dont know jaya..am a little disappointed in him..maybe we as fans do expect a lot from both BS and SI but total disinterest and the attitude was a big let down...he is thankful and all but he didnt seem too concerned about anything!!could be because he "knows" whats going to happen and we are all running around in circles trying to get to the bottom of this!! he really is a fool if he does leave!!

    7. jaya- i agree - it sounds partly like a publicity stunt and partly as an interview he gave after being warned by the ph ans others- to be cool, not to reveal too much - hence the half answers

    9. The new guy look like Pracheen Chauhan not sure but look like it's him. What if the twist is they've change the story for us to adopt to the new character. Would that be possible? I don't know if I make sense. For me if the story is good and will continue to be good then it's fine. Now I kinda don't care if BS comes back, the guy doesn't ever know how to answer properly. All I can say is grow up BS. I fell inlove with the ASR character not the Mr. Wrong. Public memory is short really and as human we are all born to adopt.

      P.s.
      I love Sanaya's look today!

And honestly it's not just that BS is good looking more that I've come to associate that face with ASR and I don't know if I will really be able to accept a new face... And what about the fbs? Such a bug part of IPK? But really doubt BS and ph would be silly enough to change ASR

  13. Altho i heard that bit, i have a feeling...BS was kind of non-commital about the time.....seemed to me he was only indicating that he is doing the show....Noreen said 4 weeks..(thats a new timeline, 11 days 40 days..)and he agreed but also said something like that...prbably the arrangements are still being worked out.

  19. I might be reading too much into the interview- I felt that he was least interested in the interview. He really needed Sanaya to get into the interview mode! He also said something like he is doing his job- meaning acting is his job and movie and the show are just jobs for him. Although thats true, but when so many of his fans are listening to the show with so much anticipation, I wanted him to be a bit more diplomatic and relate to the audience. I know dealing media is not his forte but still...Now this is not a comparison per se, SI also honestly answers questions but she does so keeping in mind that for the audience she is the character Khushi.
    So bottom line- BS really needs to get media savvy..atleast get better than what he is now. And sound more interested than what he was today!
    He said, he wasnt sure if he will come to London with SI for the show but he will come to promote his film. I was like really BSji you have so much hopes from your movie, I mean it may or may not work. But atleast don't loose your sight from what is already really working pretty good for you. I hope this honeymoon phase of yours ends pretty soon and you see the reality!

    Oh I so much want SARUN masti scenes to be back..and that too SOON.

  20. I haven't heard the interview yet but just read Sathya's post from yesterday. So, looks like our favorite show is in the midst of many controversies starting from actor/PH negotiations reagrding salary and PH's frantic effort to suddenly reach out to the IPK audience given the panic Barun's absence has created.
    @Sukhi - I completely agree with you, BS needs some coaching and mentoring on how and what to say to the media. He comes across as very disinterested in the interview and does not do a good job relating to the audience. I would love to hear him say things like ' This is my passion, I love what I do ' instead of saying things like ' This is just a job'.
    @BS - All I can say is , you are not bigger than the show, the show will survive through it's ups and downs. We only hope that your movie is worth it. Don't let success go to your head, love your Lakshmi which right now is IPK for you.
    SN : SI is a wonderful actor, she can adapt to any male lead. She is a lot more diplomatic when it comes to the media. I see her going places , even if IPK shuts down.
    Honestly I do feel a little dejected right now , let's see where we go from here

  21. Dia - Sanaya can carry the whole show for weeks IF and IF they are able to gives us like what they did for last 2-3 days. The story has to move, the screenplay has to be story, only then they can wait for BS without placement.

    1. Aaru this week or next week we don't have to worry .... night is not over yet and tomorrow that is Maa's birthday yet to come. Khushi yet to receive information about Arnav's whereabouts ...... that should include Akaash too .... After all is part of AR business

      IPK 1 year should have a ME .... every show does .... either it will be Barun if not New ASR will be back then and as Dia said viewers have short memory and 1 month is a long time

      Even Barun said it when asked about his leave in one of his interview .... "Its the story that gets audience hooked to the show!!"

      Delete
    2. @Sama - I'm with you. It is the IPK story that got all of us hooked to this show. The chemistry between the leads was the icing on the cake. I'm sure there are other male actors that can fill in ASR's shoes. It takes a little bit of time to accept the new lead but it eventually happens.
      Personally I think Barun is throwing away what he has (i.e. - if he's not planning to come back) but again, he is young and sees the world through colored glasses. If Barun's heart is not into IPK, he should leave and let someone else play that role for Sanaya's sake and teh audience's too. We'll survive.

      Delete
    3. Yes he will be a fool to give away something so good so soon ..... who knows PH and Barun might have had it sorted out in them already ..... It gives PH time to look out for Baruns replacement, if even at the end of his shoot for his movie they cannot replace he will be back to IPK ........ Ok that sounds like the most IDIOTIC thing, both by Barun and PH.

      My thought can be cancelled out on the fact that this PH has never been able to control any information whatsoever .... so their search for a new lead would have hit the media without any effort as it is it's on scanner mode with this absence issue.

      Delete
    4. I'm with you both as well ... if he's not interested in the show, he should leave ... and if this is leading up to that, then it's a good way to do it ... wean the audience off slowly by showing him only in fb's or something, we will all slowly get used to not having him around ... and then either ASR is dead and we get a new hero to take revenge - and hate Khushi because he thinks she's partly responsible, so the love-hate starts again ... or we get ASR with a new face.

      With the chemistry that Barun-Sanaya created, I think I would prefer a new guy, and re-start the love story all over again, so we have time to get used to a brand new chemistry. And Sanaya can create chemistry with any decent actor.

      And from the sound of this interview, Barun seems to have put IPKKND as his second priority after his movie. Well, good for him, he's entitled to make his career moves, but then the PH and the team shouldn't wait for him ... actors ARE replaceable, and he hasn't been popular for that long either!

      And you can't have a love story with the hero missing indefinitely ... plus it just means the guy is unreliable. Next good movie offer he gets, he can ditch his show again ... and if for him, it's just a job, then even more likely - is he saying he has no loyalty to the show that gave him so much?

      Am disappointed - I thought he was more grounded ... he seems to have let the sudden fame really go to his head.

      Delete
    5. Aaru, much as I love Sanaya, this is a love story, it needs a hero as well as a heroine, even if the hero is just a wall-flower. Sanaya can carry it alone only for some time ... quite some time, judging by her performance today ... but eventually we need a hero!

      I go back to the statement I made when his news first broke ... Barun, either come back full throttle - or leave and let some other guy take over. I don't want a half-hearted "I'm doing you a favour by continuing on the show" kind of effort!

      Delete
    6. well Dia I somewhere felt like he is not allowed to completely disclose about this whole absence fiasco!! I guy cannot get disgrounded (if thats even a word) in one interview.

      its easier for me to take all this because am not a die hard fan of any .... I got hooked with 'Lagi shart' wala ASR which has become an addiction now, will wear off if the new guy cannot portray ASR's vulnerability rather than his tough exterior.

      Delete
    7. Dia - Exactly my point too. Of course Sanaya can caary the show and full credit to her for making that effort. But at the end of the day, this is a love story and I would love to see a male lead opposite Sanaya, She deserves that more than anything else.

      For the first time today, I'm upset because of Barun's behavior, he seemed grounded but we may have been wrong in judging him.

      Wish him luck for his movie and all future endeavors, but leave our story alone. Let us move on with another hot hero :-) We don't need his favor for sure.

  23. A good episode at last!
    Just this evening I was resigned to the fact that ASR will be shown only in monotonous fbs and was wishing they had shot some dream sequence and even before the wish was out, it was granted!
    Ok, half granted since it was only his voice and a little too dramatic for my taste (had to be, since it is Khushi’s dream).
    Loved the pearls, payal and chaabi ; this was long overdue.
    And new meaningful cute fbs too.
    One thing that got me confused at R&R today. Is it confirmed that ASR is not kidnapped?( I am guilty of missing the weekend action on the blog)
    The nightmare sounded like ASR was calling out to K in a semiconscious(drugged?)state.
    And I felt Khushi was having a woman’s intuition.
    Who was the guy who messaged her? Even if it is not ASR’s phone(sharp one, Jaya), it is his number, right?

    If it is established that ASR is kidnapped, I guess we have to believe the spoilers/ rumours (like K getting the will signed also came true) and wait for Khushi to rescue him. And since ODG already has proven her worth as detective(catching the con brothers) and we forgive too soon when it comes to IPK, I guess all this becomes believable too.
    And no one wondered when Khushi is going to get a proper night dress like Payal?(Not that she needs it with today’s MIG alert look!)

    2. Su, yes, it was supposed to be ASR's phone.. the phones in the show are always changing.. ASR in the beginning had a nokia, then as the times changed and barun changed his phone, ASR did too.. usually consistently..( but this time , they showed that phone with khushi's incoming calls so many times in the ME..) and i guess now they just assume that viewers will accept any phone as ASR's, as long as ASR uses it. so yes, i guess it is ASR's number.

      forget khushi, she is still kuwari.. why does anjali not have a nightie? wearing a net sari for sleeping, even at 6 mos pregnant!!

  24. quick tip to ODG - Sweeti - this is how you dress up (or dress down ;)) when your husband is around! and that my dear would have cleared any number of MUs!

    Don't know much about phones - but the random new guy was defiantly not a suit chor - was not wearing ASR's suits - not sure if this is a good thing coz then poor ASR is stuck with the horrid suits

    as for BS leaving - don't think that will happen - the PH is probably building up the suspense and will surprise us by reintroducing him at some unthinkable moment (or could bring bask ASR as played by another actor - am sure this has happened any number of times on Indian SP serials! - we i guess will have to live with it then :( )

  25. I started hearing the interview and after a few of questions, i stopped listening in. I somehow got the feeling of it being forced..sometimes persons who are usually straightforward in their communication find it diffi when there is a state of limbo...stage at which the relationship between BS and PH is probably....(in a state of not sure of what can be said or revealed)

    I am big fan of the SI_BS chemistry for sure but the ARHI story was what got me hooked...Yes, it will be a bit odd initially but if the story is gripping...i see no reason why the show can't pick up if the lead is changed. well if it doesn't too bad...well it won't be the first show that showed promise but did not deliver...Life does go on....

    but this whole MU revelation track infused with Khushi realization track (which did need arnav absence as he is too bi-polar to let her brain register her emotions for him) is all well knitted. 9 episodes if you split ME done nicely, which got better and better.
    so this cannot be work of a day ..... maybe they started working on this few weeks back hence the drained cvs with OTT .... like I said above even comedy din't poke &hurt in the eyes these days (God knows tomorrow is wednesday)

    Frankly, BS or for tat matter PH is not required to divulge when BS is returning or not returning....Its the show's popularity partly and BS's extreme fandom which has made this a life-and-death issue...

    At one level, i am forced to accept that shows will have these issues and they are not required to disclose all their cards..Imagine, the lead of my PH has quit...why should i not choose an opportune moment to make that announcement
    or
    suppose the disappearance has been worked into the script for a need(read lead's absence, why shouldn't the PH not choose an opportune moment to bring back the lead without disclosing any part of the track.....seems a fair thing...Its just that the viewers have got anxious with too many comments coming from diff sources....in a way, it seems an unhealthy fixation with this matter...I hope sanity prevails....ITS ONLY FICTION !!

    1. Rekha, and everyone -

      I PROMISE this is my last post on BS and his movie ;)

      If ASR's disappearance is an integral part of the track, and has been worked on for the last two months, it makes sense for BS and the PH to be vague about his return, because that is the biggest surprise element of the track. No point BS saying categorically that he will be back in ten days - that will kill the suspense. So I am going to believe that's the reason for BS's vagueness on the whole issue - he has been told to keep his mouth shut regarding his return.

      If this conjecture is wrong, then cv's will find a new ASR - period. And if they keep the story as crisp as they currently are, then I, for one will continue watching.

    1. Now that’s something sensible to chew on!
      I feel the CVs have been preparing for Barun’s leave for quite some time now. The Will and the locker key drama were planned and executed weeks before the kidnap.
      The budget and dates issues should be left for the PH to handle.
      As such, there is enough drama in the show right now.
      Makes more sense and less heartache to concentrate there...

  31. Rekha that was the most sensible post I have read in a long time after this whole halla gulla.
    As much I have been SaJan/Monaya (story/chemistry) fan, I am an Arhi/Sarun fan, although my loyalty still would tilt little towards Sanaya. All these news are removing the excitement of watching the show. So at the moment I am not worried about BS/ASR being out for 11,28, 40 or forever.(that’s his personal decision right/wrong, whatever). Am going to sit back and enjoy Sanaya/Khushi at their best.
    But am not sure how long that would be because as much it’s for the story (Arhi) it’s for their chemistry (Sarun) too which has hooked me to this show. For me to hold on to the show – I need the chemistry as well as the story. Hence there are been handful of shows that I have watched religiously.
    So currently I am all for ASR missing and the story moving, but how long this will be sustained is what I am worried, even if we have a replacement for BS. For one, it took me almost 9 good months and lots of feedback to get me watch this show regularly, so with replacement am sure I will need time to accept it if and if their chemistry works, if their story is gripping. Am sure it would be applicable to lot of other viewers too.
    So that’s what I said about sustainability. Will the CVs/PH able to handle this level of story narration till end of the leave absence/or replacement. Even if it’s a leave of absence will the viewers able to watch the show with story line gone for a toss, me can’t …
    So am going to make hay while the sunshine’s!!!

      Same thing happened with the MJHT although we had Sajan/Monaya going strong the overall story had gone for a toss and with all these kind of news of new/re-entry, it did remove all the excitement of watching the show. The last few months were just for the sake of it …

    2. Aaru, Gargi..what u guys are saying is very true as far as BS_SI chem and our attachment to this pair in the ARHI story but at the other end of the spectrum could be a guy (here, i mean BS)who probably feels very uncomfortable with this whole attention business.
      I am not holding a case for him but not everyone in limelight can get used to all this....at the same they can't publicly denounce it too..as that would be suicidal to their careers...so they may choose avenues that will help bring back some sanity to their lives...

    And I for one, will be upset if BS does not return to the show - because I cannot imagine anyone else as ASR - but like everyone else says, its better to have a new ASR than wait for him forever...

    I do wish they would bring NK back - maybe as a comfort to Khushi or to help Khushi find ASR - or something like that - it will at least distract us from the absence of ASR.

  33. Ok silly question- who is character named Dhruv in the story?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. i'm not entirely sure, but based on an IF answer, sometime during arnav-la time, nani was saying something like, after arnav gets married, we'll think about akash's marriage, then dhruv's... implying that there was a Raizada named Dhruv somewhere in the picture. No further mention was made of that character, so we dont know if it is a future track or just an open end.

      Delete
    2. My conjecture - if the cv's haven't entirely forgotten about Dhruv that is ... ;)

      In an interview with Manorama Mami, she said that she is Mama's second wife, and she was originally brought to the house as a maid for his first wife, who was unwell, and subsequently died. Which was when Manorama phansaoed Mama in her matrimonial trap.

      Now Dhruv COULD be the first wife's son ... in which case, with Mami's jealous nature, it's entirely feasible he was sent off to live with the first wife's parents, or at boarding school or something, because Mami would want only her own son with her. Fits her personality. That would explain why Nani called him her grandson too.

      And I do remember the episode when Nani mentions Dhruv - it was one of the very earliest ones, when she says she is looking for three brides for the three grandsons. Just before La entered the picture, I think.

      Delete
    3. Dia the producers in their interview to TT said they decided to drop Dhruv from the story as he didn't fit in the scheme things. According to them there never was supposed to be Payash.

      But since they had Payal who they couldn't chuck off and Akash was there as Arnav's cousin, they had to make Payash.

      So kuch bhi ho sakta hai.

      Cv's, if you;re reading, you may use this ... just give me due credit ;) You can fade out Payash - make Dhruv Akash's humshakal - after all, they're brothers! Payal can go on a hike - she needs to lose weight anyway ;) and they can get a new girl for Dhruv/Akash :)

    2. I'm now getting fed up of BS and his return dates ka mystery! And his shoot for IPK 'on and off!' The rate I'm going, very soon I will be begging for a new ASR, one who will be fully committed to the show.

      Oops I said I wouldn't write more on BS, here I am again - LAST time, I swear!

      ASR NEEDS to be missing now, that's all there is to it!!! And right now, no one even knows he has gone missing ... so 1-2 weeks time frame seems very likely. But let's watch how it plays out ...

      Delete
    3. I didn't miss ASR today cos I am happy the rest of the cast is being strengthened and they gave a damn good episode yesterday.

      If they can show this covincingly for 4 weeks, I DON'T Mind him gone.

      Only thing when he comes back he should fully concentrate on the show. He can ofcourse take time off for dubbing promotions etc. That is fine. After the shoot is done, he should come back and give his full to the show.

      That will decide If I will watch his movie on Theatre or wait for it to come on Tata Sky.

  35. I am 100% sure he will be back in the show. If he is smart enough to sign this movie at the height of his fame, he knows that for the promotion of the movie he has to be ASR. The audience will surely go to watch their beloved ASR! So I am sure he will remain in the BW la la land at the expense of our show. All I hope that this movie business doesnt go to his head and he doesnt start considering himself the next SRK, even before the release of the film!
    Now I want all the awards to SI in all the next TV awards. She has proved herself to be a very fine actress. Ab best actress, best patni sab awards she need to bag (and BS only in the jodi awards)
    Oh I sometimes so much wish that we have another male lead in the show who gives BS a stiff competition in terms of looks and is miles ahead of him in terms of acting! Then ASR will have to work superhard to get audience adulation and love of Khushi!!
    Hamara IPK ab bilkul CID ban gaya hai, so enjoy the suspense.

      after the gupta house mockery of ASR, i pesonally know many aunties dont watch the show anymore.. the akdu bitwa and the naughty bitiya was the USP of the show for them.. when the story progresses to illogical drama , they lose interest. if at least there was some logic, people would be interested...

      and yes, IPK shares its timeslot with child bride, and that one is verry interesting right now.. so ppl will watch that.

      hope that after the ME, TRPs will raise this week!

    2. Gargi we should be thankful that TRP has maintained itself at 2.8 for last 3 weeks .... its 2.9 this week ..... with all the comedy they have subjected viewers to post 210th episode.

      final straw was the suicide comedy after beautiful Khushi-Garima interaction which was followed by the crappiest promo there could have been after 1 whole month of no promo.

      they will have to maintain the current tempo for at least next few weeks to gain back neutral audiences.

      they have started promoting again .... IPL coming to an end. It will rise.

  39. Yes, but slight recovery from last week, so maybe a step in the right direction? It's the last week of IPL, I think, and IPK is directly affected by that - BV audience probably is not so much into IPL.

    I think TRP's will go up more next week - the biggest mistake the cv's did was to dumb down Khushi to glorify Arnav, without showing good reason for her antics. Indian audiences like strong female leads, and making Khushi dumb and annoying while her husband was Sri Ram personified with his in-laws was NOT a good move! It did not work.
    Khushi has recovered a lot this week, and is fighting to prove her innocence, and for her marriage - both hot favorites for Indian audiences. And next week if they show her battling Shyam openly, then TRP's should improve even more - she will be fighting the villain and not her own husband ... and hopefully, the cv's will learn from their mistakes and show her being smarter than Shyam, and slowly beating him at his own game. I think if they show this, TRP's should go up a little more, and especially if they show a glimpse of ASR by the end of the week.

    And of course I want the TRP's to go up for another reason - next week promises to be a Khushi-centric track ;)

      Delete
    5. I like that 'confirmed that BS leaving the show is neither confirmed or unconfirmed!'

      Leaves quite a wide field, if you ask me ... :D

      Rekha, I want Harshad Chopra ... no one agrees? Tall, good looking, the BS kind of looks, good Punjabi munda ... and he can act well. I watched a few episodes of Tere Liye and liked him. And he and Sanaya have worked together before in LRL, so she should be comfy with him.

      Failing him, Iqbal Khan, Rajeev Khandelwal or Gaurav Khanna - can't believe I actually scrolled the list of TV actors to put this list together!!!

      Gargi, I am merely getting mentally prepared for a new ASR ... if BS stays, that toh is the best for sure. But 45 days without a hero in a love story?

      Still not confirmed whether this 45 days is at a stretch or not, and whether BS will visit the IPK sets for a "few hours" at a time if required ... *head desk*

      So does that mean ASR is presumed dead and Khushi wears widow's weeds? I mean, how will they take the story forward - will Shyam then present the false will and take over as executor and beneficiary?
      I am TRYING to stick to the story here :)))

      Delete
    6. Oye.. Gargi...i am not writing him off....if at all he is ...THAT IS if he is....

      I agree BS_SI are the best.....i have no doubt about it....

      Its just that part of me feels bad for SI's hard work in the show.....and I feel i owe to to the actor in SI to stay committed to watch ARHI..which was the initial pull, in any case.

      Another thing, i am no expert in reading situations like these...but something tells me that BS is extremely uncomfortable with this media attention....anyone would be who is otherwise very grounded...all this drooling shooling, he would not have bargained for ....and probably wants to play down all this
      so if its his decision to move on....whatever be the reasons...its something we as viewers have really no business bothering with...

      I will be very happy to watch them but if not....i am moving on too....personally I am not attached to any actor/ess....its always the character that i feel drawn to...In a way its a first for me to comment on actors in the blog...

    7. Dia,

      Harshad is gud....and the options u mentioned are gud too...Gaurav Khanna is that chap who acted with Vicky donor girl, isn't it?He is a bit of a baccha tho.
      My extra vote is for Iqbal just for his voice...
      Gargi baby listen to his voice, u will agree with me....When he will say "khushi", u will forget BS *ducking for chappals coming my way*

    8. Dia, i mean gaurav Khanna acted with Yami Gupta in one serial based on Lucknow (name i forget now)...some caste drama, i saw for a few episodes thinking its something nice and then gave up after realising that its like any other serial.

    9. Rekha, I don't know, I didn't watch that. I mean the guy who acted as the eldest brother in Love Ne Mila Di Jodi - done by the same writers, apparently, and I liked his jodi with Damini. There were three brothers - Gaurav K was the eldest - Prithvi. He acted in another Zee show after that, which I tried, but it wasn't anything great, so I gave it up.

      Karan T, Gargi's hot lawyer was the middle brother in LNMDJ ;)

    10. ladies ladies - relax - he is not going anywhere - all this is to keep up the suspense - like i said earlier - no one springs a film out of nowhere - obviously they must have talks, discussions, meeting and timelines must have been considered - you don't get a film out of the blue - hence the CVs have had enough time to think this through and plan accordingly -

      Now if tell you for how long ODB is gone - then it will spoil the effect of his 'surprise return' - right

      plus Mishti said long ago that he would be working 8 hrs here and 4 hrs there or something to the effect - his work has not been effected so far - so we should not write him of just as yet
      agreed that its just a play and no one is irreplaceable - but this is Arhi we are talking about - damn, even the songs they have ever showed us are 'their songs now!' (and this despite their many many interviews where they keep dumbing down their chemistry - we close our eyes so that we don't giggle - we don't like romancing each other type of statement - remember) - so for me will not think about it till it actually happens - for me arhi is them!

      Rekha- hummm! interesting - may be someone can call out her name better - at least make it a better pronunciation! it is KHUSHI not Kushi!!!

  42. With all the speculations and lack of any clarification about BS, wasn’t able to enjoy yesterday’s episode although it was good and moved the story ahead. Got more in to what will happen than concentrating on what is going on ... and to add, read lots analysis after a long time ..
    So to get my hang on the show and more so story in simple logical sequence and just for my understanding I had to put these thoughts down. So sorry in advance.
    What we have-
    Arhi-
    - K trying to prove her innocence – takes the help of shyam as last resort- unable to prove it – tells bitwa “faraq padta hai” and acceptance of her love.
    - A having conflicts of Dil vs Dimaag, wants K to prove herself and him wrong – turns to go back after understanding “faraq padta hai” or for clarification is still unclear.
    - A likes to be alone on his mom’s b’day- which coincides with his London trip.- no one knows where he goes - so question is, if this London trip is annual or coincidence ?
    - Shyam has the papers but still reached the airport-but purposefully late !
    - Blames K for losing the papers- thus confusing her , and says confidently that he has it with him (monologue) so is it not just the papers?
    Khushi
    - K gets a nightmare –indicating her about A in danger- guided by the things which connects to their past and lucknow.
    - Pattern here being pearls, mannat key and the payal – all 3 things which are connected to 3 major incidents that changed K’s life because of A and all 3 questioning her character –and in some sense highlighting her being orphan .
    Other things
    - RM vasis still blissfully ignorant
    - Entry of masala mama, with his forgetfulness ( if you see male entry is always in sync with A understanding his feelings for K ) so is MM for the same ? –read this on IF but can’t accept completely.
    - A msg only K letting her know he reached London and battery low. Why not anyone else?
    - K is suspicious of the same, messages back
    - Message received by an unknown guy in suit.
    - Important - recent multiple references to his and her past –his with his mother b’day and, her’s with her parents – stars- death.
    - So question is, Is this kidnapping to bring in the past – K-A-A connected ?
    - Along with A coming to know the truth of MU
    - K’s tasks
    - To handle shyam and get back the papers
    - Prove herself to bitwa
    - Safe guard their (btn A and K) and shyam relationships from the family
    - Today she will know that Bitwa hasn’t reached London – in turn missing and something garbad.
    - Now the big question is – Arnav kidnapped by ASR ( can’t still accept ASR getting kidnapped) or shyam or 3rd party??
    - Hmm so lots of twist and tangles – lots of tadka’s and masalas
    - So what now? at the moment just wait and watch- with Khushi and Sanaya at their best... forget about BS vacillation.


    Feeling good now phew !!!

      "all 3 things which are connected to 3 major incidents that changed K’s life because of A and all 3 questioning her character"

      beautiful .... it made me think ....

      khushis payal is in fact her mothers payal....khushi is responsible for all of arnavs pain in past- his mothers death

      bitwa did accuse her for not having any moral despite such a good upbringing !!

      Delete
    2. Aaru, good post, and agree with you ... let's stick to the story.

      So we have -
      Khushi wanting to prove her innocence to the man she has confessed matters the most ... the easiest solution of course, is to ask Buaji or Amma or Payal to corroborate, but like I said, she has to "save" their delicate sensibilities from the news that her marriage was to protect Payal, and is only for six months.
      So she has to find the papers - or rather, get them back from Shyam. Here we see Khushi growing slowly to the ways of the world, realising that Shyam is a cheat and always will remain a cheat, so is not to be trusted - Bitiya, he's not to be trusted about confessing to Arnav too, itna bhi realise kar lo!

      When she finds out that Arnav is missing, depends how it happens. Will there be a ransom note or something, or just a silent disappearance? Will she (and the viewers) know whether Shyam is involved or not? So she will also have to find Arnav - and if the spoilers are correct, she saves him. Which would imply that he HAS been kidnapped, and is not staging his own Missing act.

      Arnav - three possibilites:
      Engineered his disappearance, and has gone to Godric's Hollow ... er, Lucknow ... to investigate Shyam ... doing what he should have done when Shyam married Anjali. Or investigate Khushi - so he will find out the circumstances in which she had to leave Lucknow, and his role in it. RTRW to start?
      2- Kidnapped by Shyam - if so, why hasn't Shyam ordered him killed by now? Shyam has the will already. Or does Shyam want to be named executor of the estate, so that he can get more money to pay the goons - I presume the rate for murder is higher than that for kidnapping.
      Here I DO hope Arnav can use his shatir dimaag to bribe the goons and turn the tables on Shyam - we need some evidence of that 'shatir dimaag'.
      3- kidnapped by Blast from the Past - shatir chacha or some such person/people - which means the start of the next track - unravelling the past. Which should also mean that the final showdown between Shyam, Khushi and Arnav should happen before that - this PH can't handle one track properly, they can't possibly deal with TWO simultaneously!

      Ideally, they should have shown the Khushi looking for the papers, and then looking for Arnav simultaneously with Arnav's side - whether he is kidnapped or not - but fair enough, they want that part to be kept mystery a while longer ... so for the moment, while Khushi and Shyam battle it out, PH purposely doesn't tell us whether he HAS been kidnapped by Shyam or not. She first has to discover that Arnav is missing - that itself will take till the end of the week, I would think. Then start searching for him ... and probably by the time she is getting close, we start getting glimpses of Arnav - but still mysterious, so that we don't know for some time which of the three has happened. Or rather, which of the two kidnappings - because if he has gone missing on his own, we should then get a shadowy figure around RM, keeping an eye on Khushi.
      And since Masala Mama is obviously not sent by Arnav, he should be doing that anyway, now that he has started getting doubts on Khushi ... as he has left her completely vulnerable to Shyam right now.

      Delete
    3. Forgot, Khushi also has to have her own realisation that she loves Arnav.

      Delete
    4. And one more thing ... the person texted Khushi pretending to be ASR, that he is alive and well in London - buying time? For what? Why would Shyam do that if he already has the will?

      Delete
    5. Ideally, Shyam shld do away with Arnav unless he wants to gloat one last time facewa-to-facewa..typical movies ishtyle...
      The text was just to allay any doubts that K will have...until Shyam moves for the kill. If TF says.i am going out of station for a while, that shld be a hint.....

      Delete
    6. Yes, but why text Khushi? If the kidnapper is in league with Shyam, he should have texted him directly na?

      Unless it's to kill him, and delay the discovery of his death for a few days ... again, if Creepwa wants to get his hands on the wealth, he should disclose his death asap na?

      This is someone who doesn't want the RM to discover that Arnav is missing just yet.

      I am so HOPING it's not Shyam who's kidnapped ASR. Even the wicked chacha will be okay - then Bitwa will land up in Lucknow at least.

      Delete
    7. agreed - lets stick to the story -

      you know i was very very sure that ASR was not 'planning a kidnapping' - reasons already given earlier - but someone/something def. stopped him from going back - i would have kept on thinking that he was well aware of what was happening - you know, making the moves - but yesterdays episode got me thinking - ODG being so so worried - it was like ODB was in trouble and she had an intuition, a premonition that he is in danger - so could it be that he started of on a quest to find out the truth and will end up in danger?

      will it then come to her coming in to save him and they escape and he goes: - what were you doing here? - agar tumhay kuch hojata to? and she saying 'agar aapko kuch hojata to??

      is there a dhruv guy around? someone mentioned him here - Dia i think you wrote that nani mentioned him - how weird - am sure the CVs have forgotten otherwise he was not even mentioned of when the boys were getting married???

      Delete
    8. even if the kidnapper has texted Shyam, that is not likely to be shown to us now....
      On why Khushi....coz she is one person...according to Shyam who is likely to create a bit of ruckus on where he is...Di is likely to take it that he is busy with business....

      Personally hoping its not Shyam..rather some uncle.....but that will also open the past track, which PH will not unravel now unless they are winding up in a hurry

      Delete
    9. Mona, I agree with you - Khushi's nightmare was a premonition for sure - so maybe Bitwa started some investigation, and has gotten himself into trouble - also having underestimated his opponent. This paving the way for him to realise that Shyam is a very very shatir dimaag and if he could hoodwink Arnav, he is easily capable of hoodwinking Khushi.

      And Khushi could then figure out that Shyam was responsible, as she's already into investigative mode here, so she then goes to his rescue ...

  50. Okay correct me did KSG or the Pavitra Rishta guy signing a movie create so much hangama that Barun signing has created.

    GH says he will be back. Gorky one of the producers of Gorky specifically avoids talking about Barun and gives a general answer.
    Wow Ya, I am impressed, good or bad Barun is making a splash. Now everyone kmows he is doing a movie.

    And Gargi 40 days is confirmed from your source? Even then I KEEP wodnering what he will do after 40 days when shooting gets over, apart from dubbing which might max take 3-6 days and then post promotion work around the movie's release, will he be sitting at home unless he has signed a 3 movie deal or something that he will be continuing to work?

    He has to be ASR when the movie releases.

    Are they trying to do a MIHIR Here, TRPs are low, ASR is absent, show him missing or dead, and ekta style he comes back after 40 days by that time his movie shoot is over and zooom TRP raises again. He comes back and Sanaya can work on her JDJ..so both the actors help each other out?

    4 Lions have created and unleashed a monster ( a good one ) at that and are obviously struggling to rein it in.

    Offscreen happening are getting equally interesting:)
