Tuesday 18th June
ROFL moment of the day was when Umaben is trying to terrorise Chhanchhan with her account of how heinous a crime the pallu slipping off the head is, and how harshly her MIL punished her ... Chhanchhan missed the point completely ... instead of being terrorised, she sympathized with Umaben as to how horrible her saas was, not to mention completely wrong in her approach, and that elders should teach their younger ones, not punish them. Umaben's face was a study ... ooops, I messed that one up!!! That was not the way she was supposed to react!
Umaben up to her tricks again ... divide and rule. Ranjana and Sanjana get the punishment for not teaching Chhanchhan the ways of the house ... while Chhanchhan gets away with sweet honeyed words. Much to Ranjana's fury ... and that's exactly what Umaben wants.
Chhanchhan's face when everyone was staring at her in her nighty was a picture ... what are you all staring at?! What's all the fuss about here?!
Disappointed in Babuji ... is he really as khadoos and rigid as Umaben makes him out to be? And what exactly is Manthan up to?
*edited*
So the real story starts today ... The story of Chhanchhan, a modern girl from a liberal family, brought up with complete freedom, yet with traditional values, and her journey after marriage into a conservative family with archaic ideas and so-called traditional values, which seem nothing more than a way to ensure that the family stays cowed under the fiefdom of its matriarch, Umaben, and tradition seems to be nothing more than a convenient tool for that end.
The first day in her new home ... Chhanchhan wakes up ... late ... and is bewildered for a moment - where is she?! Then she realises ... next question - it's late, where is Manav? And runs downstairs to find him ... creating a minor earthquake ... first she smiles uncertainly at everyone ... then as they continue to look shell shocked, she looks down at herself ... she's decently dressed, fully covered, what on earth are they all staring at?!
The family's expressions were hilarious ... the expression of shock, as though none of them had ever seen a girl in a nighty before ... probably most of them had not!
RS at UB's silent gesture, hustle a very confused CC away ... while she protests ... what on earth happened? And where is Manav?
Ranjana and Sanjana try to impress on her the nature and magnitude of her crime ... she came in front of the entire family in a nighty, and she woke up late ... Babuji and Baa will be annoyed ... CC can't understand what the fuss is about, but she's worried that she broke some unwritten rules on her first day ... Sanjana tells her she was expelled to maayka for wearing the wrong color of sari, and CC is even more confused ... for such a small thing?
CC is taking all this completely the wrong way ... instead of being worked up about how serious her crime was, she's wondering why the punishment was so severe for such little things ...
Umaben enters to add fuel to the fire, while maintaining her honey and sweetness image for Chhanchhan ... you wore a nighty?
Chhanchhan apologises ... I'm so sorry ...
UB smiles ... sending shock waves into RS ... what the ...?! Not your fault, beta ... it's all their fault.
Sending further shock waves to RS ... what did we do? We're wearing sarees, aren't we?!
Apparently their crime was not informing Chhanchhan about the rules of the house. And as CC apologises again, she didn't know such a mountain would be made of such a small molehill ...
Umaben immediately impresses upon CC ... or tries to ... the magnitude of the crime ... it's not small at all ... when she was a new bride, and her pallu slipped, her MIL gave her such a strict punishment that she still remembers it.
Unfortunately Chhanchhan takes this all the wrong way ... instead of quaking in her shoes as to what her own punishment is going to be, she wonders why UB's MIL punished her at all ... after all, isn't it the duty of elders to teach the younger ones right and wrong, rather than punish them?
RS are even more worried ... CC is answering back to UB?
UB is caught on the back foot on this one ... her other bahus are usually trembling with fear by this time as to if UB's punishment was so severe, what their own will be ... here CC is showing full sympathy for UB and saying poor UB didn't do anything that wrong, surely.
So UB has to backtrack ... not punishment ... this is repentance ... if younger ones commit a mistake, then they have to repent for it.
Sanjana is upset ... will CC also have to repent? UB nods regretfully, as though she hates to do this ... Ranjana is gleeful ... the favorite bahu is going to get her comeuppance after all.
Chhanchhan is confused ... in today's day and age, this sort of thing ...
Umaben assures her she is very open-minded and modern ... it's Babuji who is the problem.
Babuji very opportunely drops a plate downstairs ... while Manek is worried about Baa's reaction, Manthan remarks that its better they get used to the idea of changes happening in the house ... Babuji is not happy at the sound of that.
Tut tut, I had more hopes from Babuji
Umaben uses the sound of the plate dropping to prove her point ... Babuji is angry .. but don't worry, I'll handle him ... I am such a sweet saas after all ...
Ranjana is worried ... what about CC's punishment .. err, repentance ... R is worried - Is CC going to get away scot free?
Umaben never misses a chance ... yes of course ... repentance ... for both RS, as she already said this was their fault, not Chhanchhan's ...
Umaben's Divide and Rule policy in full swing.
Ranjana's face is a picture ... why did I open my big mouth?!
Chhanchhan is even more shocked ... why should RS get punished?
Umaben pronounces judgement ... 300 rotis every day for 3 days for the cows of the gaushaala. And they're getting off easy, she had to make 500 rotis for 7 days ...
RS are dismayed, CC is upset ... and Umaben is gleeful ... Chhanchhan cannot take these rules and regulations, she will run away in four days on her own ...
Chhanchhan tries to apologise to RS, Ranjana stamps away petulantly.
CC is left wondering ... what sort of house is this, where the saas is more like a headmistress of an army camp than a matriarch?
Phone call from her own family ... aww, such a sweet scene ... as the Sarabhais all clamour to talk to Chhanchhan, and she tries to hold back her tears ... she's missing her family, she's missing Manav, her only support in this madhouse ... and she's so glad to hear the mayhem and madness of the Sarabhais again ...
CC's mom is sweet as she tries to hold back her tears ... dad is full of worried loving advice ... Rushali teases CC that she's taking over her room ... and a cute sibling squabble ... my room is my room, and will stay mine! So typical!
Daadi asks about her sasuraal, and about Manav ... Chhanchhan glosses over the morning fiasco ... daadi assures her that mistakes on the first day don't matter ... Umm, not in the Borisagar house, that's not true ...
Dadi says, don't worry, Manav is with you ... and Chhanchhan's tears threaten to spill over again ... that's just the problem, he's not there ... where are you, Manav?

caught the episode just now.. wow i am falling in love with this manthan guy. and ranjana too.. if she had married manthan, there would have been a power couple there long ago!!
ReplyDeletebabuji was upset only because manthan scratched the boil.. "ba will be upset"... poor babuji must know too well how baa behaves when upset :D
i did not like the fact that no one told cc about manav going off to gaav.. of course, the whole episode dealt with some ten minutes of the morning, so i guess we will see that in the next episode.
Jaya, good catch ... I was wondering about Babuji's reaction ... hopefully that's it. He believes in peace at any cost ... when Manek says Baa will be upset, he got worried.
DeleteManthan and Ranjana ... I said a while ago, that Umaben purposely got Manthan married to a simpleton. If he had been married to Ranjana, there would have been total rebellion in the house by now.
I was wondering about that too ... didn't Manav leave a message or a note for CC at least? Let's see ... I guess we will find out today.
story mein jaya ka tadka: manthan had fallen in love with ranjana(think unrequited love), umaben found out, instead of protesting, she (innocent expression) got manek's rishta to ranjana's house.. HAHK style, ranjana agrees to be borisagar bahu, learns too late that its the wrong brother.. by that time, brothers + sisters rishta got fixed.. and no one could protest because it was a prestige issue.
Deletewhat say?
ROFL ... I wish!!! But not Ranjana ... she's not the silent suffering type :))) And she looks as though she would be happy to romance her hubby, it's her hubby who's not willing!
DeleteI do think Manthan had an affair ... or at least, he got married against his will, maybe for the dowry?
I thought that the eldest son ran away from home, not Manthan ... so maybe both of them have back stories which will surface later.
And yes, Manav did leave a note for Chhanchhan ... this is one TV husband I quite like so far ... :))
DeleteMr Loser has released another interview where he claims he never said anything about Sanaya and was misquoted. What a blithering idiot he is ... have never disliked a TV actor as much as I did this guy. He's a complete loser ... and an attention-seeking liar as well! Thank God he is out of the show!
