Sanaya really looks like a teenager in this one! Daljeet is looking pretty too.







Latha and her neverending collages! Had to post because San is looking so sweet in one pic!




TV shows ...
Watching Bade Bhaiyya ... hope Meera will soon get rid of Aman. Both Meera and Abhishek have father issues ... he was abandoned by his father, hence major insecurity ... he clings to his family, including the useless chachas, because they are the only father figures he has, and he doesn't want to lose them too.
She has spent most of her life struggling for her father's approval, she yearns to make him proud of her, but sadly her own father doesn't appreciate what she is, because he is so adamant that she become who he wants her to be.
For once Riya didn't annoy me ... I felt bad for her the way that obnoxious guy shut her up repeatedly at the party ... Aman's friends seem to be as obnoxious as he is ... and the conversation between the sisters was nice.
Abhi breaking down in front of his chacha, and Hemraj being so nice and pragmatic and supportive was nice too.

TV Shows I'm Watching

Bade Bhaiyya continues to hold my interest ... a very likeable, sweet lead pair ... both Abhi and Meera are really nice people, genuinely and individually. Most TV lead pairs have some issues, the ML is so often the typical angry young man ... here Abhishek has reason to be angry - lots of reasons, in fact ... father abandoned the family, he abandoned his dreams of becoming engineer, his family is a bunch of shameless spongers, his mother is helpless and semi-invalid, he has virtually no help in running a homestay which appears to be the sole income for the family of 13 people ... yet he is affable, even affectionate with his family, always supportive and even tempered for the most part ... rarely when he does lose his cool, he recovers it almost immediately and apologises for his lapse. Almost perfect, in fact ... except that being so unselfish and self-effacing is a failing in itself. And like Meera, he too suffers from low self-esteem, which is probably compounded by his chacha always reminding him of his father's abandonment, so he 'owes' it to his family to support them.

Meera ... am happy to see that my first favorable impression of the actress's talent was not unfounded. As the story progresses, Namita is bringing in some sweet nuances into Meera, and her dialogues and script support them. The way she realised Abhi was defending his family a bit too loudly and taking the blame on his shoulders, her 'golguppa man' analogy ... and I really liked that she let him know she knew he was lying, she knew it was his family's fault, but she let it go immediately. Sensitive and understanding both.

And Abhi got a glimpse into Meera's vulnerable side, her craving for her father's approval, the small chit which means the world to her ... how he knew that she wasn't talking about a friend, but about herself ...

Liked the Kapil-Bubbly scene ... so Kapil finally brought to remorse about his misdeeds by his Taiji,not by scolding, but by gentleness and understanding ... so much more effective than scolding. And not only Kapil, his mother Madhu as well realised what she and chacha were doing wrong, and she led her husband back from the wrong path as well ... whether that chacha actually uses the money to pay the property tax remains to be seen.

Tuesday 16th Aug - The cliched 'lost in jungle' scenes rendered slightly less cliched by the pragmatic, practical approach of both Abhi and Meera. The difference between Meera's trust in Abhi and her instinctive distrust of Aman ... she is uncomfortable with Aman even touching her hand but has no problem holding tight to Abhi on the bike.
The little scene where she sends him a friend request, his smile when he sees it, accepts ... she smiles mischievously ... very cute!

Burning her clothes because it's more important Abhi doesn't catch cold, he's indispensable for Pant household .. is that the first time anyone other than his mother has been worried about him and his health? Love the way Meera is bindaas about material things like her make up (shared generously with Anita), her clothes ... yes, she doesn't earn so she doesn't realise the value, but she is genuinely not bothered ... gives the impression that she could very easily live without them.

Good to see Daadi worried about both Abhishek and  Meera, and chacha worried about Abhishek's safety. The family does care for him, but their selfishness usually overrides all other emotions.

I think rude Aman is on his way out of Meera's life ... good thing too. Quite an obnoxious man.

Sanaya makes an Appearance

Sanaya News ... and Other shows

Leaked clip of  mock shoot/promo/whatever of Sanaya's new show ... so the show is confirmed, the leads seem to be locked ... she is well and truly on her way back ... halleluiah!!!





According the latest clip from SBAS,  Sanaya and Harshad are playing doctors. Time for me to get ready to *head desk* a few million times ... but anything for Sanaya!!!

First promo for SP's new show Naamkaran ... and it already has me intrigued. I am going to catch this one for sure. Bonus is that the actors are all good, and the child actor seems good from the promo. SP has a record of casting very good child actors ... think Bhavesh and Harshita of Veera, and Ruhi from YHM ... so I'm hoping this ... and Sanaya's show ... are no exceptions.

Bade Bhaiya Ki Dulhaniya continues to hold my interest ... hope the chacha chachi don't degenerate into outright villains, they are  already going down that way. Hope Kapil has some redeeming qualities and owns up ... that will paint his parents very black indeed, so I doubt he will do that. But I wonder how will Meera be cleared ...  and I hope she is cleared very soon, and this whole matter isn't dragged till eternity with no one being the wiser.
If I was Meera, I would have said very firmly that I gave Rs 30,000 to chacha chachi, if the family wants, they can believe me, if they don't believe me, no skin off my back, I'm going. I tried to help you all out, but it seems no  one in this family is bothered about the entire family, except for Abhishek. I'm sorry, Abhishek, I think you're fighting a losing battle here, but they're your family ... all the best.
And if Amma tells her ... so you're saying my son and DIL are lying, Meera should turn around and tell her very firmly, yes, I'm sorry to say this, but they are.

Kuch Rang Pyaar Ke ... the story reaches the main point ... Dev is deliriously happy with Sona, she is his anchor, his soulmate, she makes him feel light hearted and happy again, which he hasn't felt ever since childhood, she teases him, laughs with him, makes him laugh, and he enjoys every moment he spends with her. With her he is not the provider, the responsible one ... with her, he is just himself.
And Ishwari hates that ... an insecure mother, she sees her son going away from her, sees another woman holding sway over him, sees Dev listening to another woman's words, following her wishes ... and Ishwari is scared that she is no longer the number 1 woman in her son's life. Of course, her feelings are reinforced by Radha Rani.
I'm not sure of RR's motives, except that maybe she feels an outsider woman, especially an intelligent one, will see through RR's and Vicky's shenanigans very quickly ... and also they are happy  for Dev to remain unmarried, as that means Vicky may get a bigger share of the business. Vicky is a complete waste ... and RR's encouragement shows a mirror how women raise sons who feel it is all right to insult, eve tease and molest other women.

Ishqbaaz ... not really holding my interest. Gul's strength is romance, but here, none of the couples have a spark ... and her humour is forced at best, and slapstick at worst. The scenes between the couples are repetitive, and all are lifted in some way from IPKKND, but the actors don't manage to lift them anywhere near the same level. Good for a light watch, as the track is light as of now, and for the bromance.
