2nd Sept - Epi 92 ... Double Standards

Interesting episode today ... as usual, it was a bit rushed, now don't know whether to blame the impending deadline or not, as the writing has always been a bit sketchy ... although as usual again, the issues raised were very relevant to a lot of young working couples.
So Manav has no problem interacting with his old college friend who has openly admitted she had a crush on him, yet he doesn't like Chhanchhan working in an office where an unknown guy has a crush on her. He has no problem talking about his old friend time and again with Chhanchhan, but doesn't like it when she mentions another guy, or gets gifts from him. He wants her to agree to everything he wants, and doesn't understand, or doesn't want to understand that her hesitation is because she has to be sensitive to her position as not only his wife, but also daughter-in-law and lady of the house. Women have to tread this balance far more than men do ... a sad but true commentary on the double standards still present in society. We had this discussion around the Kaumudi Mugut track as well.

Manav follows Manthan's advice and decides to woo his wife ... but can't get over his jealousy about the gift from Vineet. Chhanchhan's annoyance was less over the dress than over his saying that if Vineet had gifted it, she would have worn it ... really, Manav?! Shocked As Chhanchhan said, falling in love, marrying the one you love is easy, but nibhaoing a marriage is far more difficult.
And deal is still "almost" done? When is it going to be "done"?

On the other side, Mugut and Kaumudi are on the same track about the challenge ... but among the other two couples, Ranjana and Manthan are putting challenge ahead of family, while Sanjana has veered around to family ahead of challenge.
Chhanchhan and Manav are working more on their own relationship than on any challenge! Embarrassed
Manav realises that he can't stay angry with CC for too long ... while CC has already decided to give in and wear his gift ... just for him. Embarrassed
But Manav is an idiot ...  really, Manav?! Shocked Mentioning an ex-girlfriend, another girl at a time like this? When you're romancing your wife ... who's just been rather pissed off with you about that very girl?
Lol ... kiss challenge issued by biwi for once, rather than husband ... don't want to remember the previous challenge issued by a different Manav which got us all horrified LOL ... then he challenged her to kiss him in front of the family ... now the tables are turned!

And time for Manthan to start veering around to realisation about family ahead of challenge ... German clients, he sends Manav off to romance Chhanchhan, thinking to cut him out, and his move backfires as the clients don't need Manav's fluent English, they need German. So he sends Manav off to romance Chhanchhan again ... Manav really needs to figure out his priorities in life ... and his timing!

Poor Vineet is getting an inkling that there is a man in Chhanchhan's life ... about time ... he needs to be let down gently.
Brothers Borisagar have a tough time dealing with German clients LOL Manthan might regret sending Manav off too quickly.

Manav woos CC yet again and kisses her in the middle of the restaurant. Challenge is done. Chhanchhan informs him pertly that the challenge was for kiss in front of family, not strangers. Challenge not yet done.

Manav saves the day with an online translator. Both husband and wife seem to be truly the internet couple! This deal is actually done. Manthan also veering around to some sort of realisation ...

Chhanchhan challenges Manav silently in front of the family ... proving her point, it's not easy to be bold in front of a conservative family ... love that teasing glint in Sanaya's eyes ... utterly adorable!
Her smile wiped off her face and Manav gets up and approaches her ... is he really going to do it?! Shocked

Precap -open confrontation between Chhanchhan and Rupali ... where is this going to go? And Manav angry with Chhanchhan ...

*Edit* 
Posting this here because it is one of the sweetest interviews with Sanaya ... with Drashti, about their friendship. Reminds me so much of my friendship with my best friend ... when we get together, even our husbands and kids are resigned that we will always regress back to our college days masti and craziness! These two are adorable!
