Tia's Thread - You Give Love a Bad Name!!!
Yesterday's episode reminded me of a story I once read. I can't remember the story but it was about two lovers who keep coming together and break up in endless cycle over the course of time. They meet as teenagers, then meet again as young adults in university, then meet again as adult professionals, then meet again as middle aged people, then meet again as older retirees.
And in that course, they come together, have passionate affairs, break up and then come together again as a set pattern.
In the meanwhile, they both get married multiple times. But every time they meet, married or not, they have an affair and ruin their spouse's life, their children's life and break up families.
All in the name of Lau.
In short, they are such people that neither they can be together since they are totally incompatible nor they can stay apart because they are also wildly attracted to each other like some people crave danger or adrenaline rush.
Dev and Sona are like those two people. They can never be happy together. Because everything Dev is - needy, lier, weak, escapist, are things Sona considers weakness.
And everything Sona is - strong, closed up, secretive, private, are things that makes Dev frustrated.
And together they are a lesson on all people how not to live life and love.
They remind me of the Bon Jovi song.
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
If one doesn't have the guts to fight for their love, then trying to create situations hoping they will get jealous and come running after them, is a coward's way out in my opinion.
How do you know in that situation whether they want you because you are as necessary for them as Oxygen or they want you, well, because someone else wants you.
And what happens when no one else wants you? Will they still want you then?
But that's the kind of game I have seen teenager plays in high school. Like flirting with someone hoping to get their boyfriend/girlfriend jealous.
If who they are dating is a smart person, they will say that they won't need a player in their life. They need someone they can trust. And they will walk away.
If they are dating someone insecure who thinks that they can't do better than this, they will run after them hoping to latch on to the person before someone else gets them.
In first scenario, you'd reclaim your dignity by not participating in petty games. If you truly matter, the person playing those petty games will come after you because they are afraid to lose you. Not to mention, all these petty games will stop permanently. They will never dare to play games with you again because you didn't dance on their cue.
In the second scenario, you will forever be a pawn in their petty games.
I know what I will choose.
EPISODE: The episode starts with Sona lying on bed and thinking of what Bijoy said. There is an additional scene where Bijoy said that it's natural that she will feel bad because she used to love Dev once.
Just then Sona gets a call. It's of course Bhaiya. Behena is surprised.
Bhaiya: Miss Sonakshi Bose, why are you so surprised? You must have other friends who call this time.
Me: I am sure she has friends to call her so late like Jatin. But none who are planning their wedding. It's called decency. May be you should learn it.
Sonakshi says: No. But why are you up so late? You haven't started to take sleeping pills again, have you?
Bhaiya rolls his eyes: Don't worry. This problem won't remain your problem for very long. You should have fell asleep by now. Why you are still up?
Me: How else she will pick up your call, you idiot? Who can sleep through a phone call?
Behena stammers.
Bhaiya: I am starting a new life. Who can sleep in this excitement?
Behena says: Oh yes, I am very excited for you.
Bhaiya: Sonakshi, I am talking about me. I mean I am very excited that I am starting a new life.
Behena: Oh it's such a big responsibility no? And it's natural to feel nervous in this situation. And there's also the change factor. Everything will be fine.
Bhaiya: You are trying to make me understand?
Behena: Are you understanding?
Bhaiya: When you are with me, my best friend, then what do I have to worry about? So all set naa? There is no doubt, right? We are doing this.
Behena nods.
Me: No really, Bhaiya. What did you expect her to say after you conveyed how excited you are about your new life? Unlike you, she never ruined other people's happiness for her own happiness. She always wanted you to be happy. So if you keep giving impression that you are happy and excited, trust me, Behena is not going to stop you at all. Don't you remember what she did when you were marrying Natasha?
Now unless CVs have turned Behena's character 180 degree as well, she isn't likely to ruin your happiness. EVER!!!
Remember what I said about Maiya's tricks? The same applies to you. The deception and game you are playing, might just backfire on you.
Bhaiya: If you nod in phone call, how will the other person understand?
Behena: You understood no?
Bhaiya: I understood. But I don't know when you will understand.
Behena: Come on, Dev. It's about your life. Everything will be fine. And I also have no doubt. In fact, I am happy for you.
Bhaiya: You are happy and I am excited, what else do we want? From now on, we will never look at our past. No looking back.
Behena agrees: No looking back. Now we will just think about the future.
Bhaiya: Then fine. I will wait for you tomorrow at 9 a.m. for a new start.
Behena agrees: A new beginning.
They both hang up the phone.
Bhaiya looks at album filled with girls' pictures and gets angry.
Me: What? Did you think Sonakshi will suddenly beg you to stay in her life without no effort on your part? You chose a bad tactics to win her back, Bhaiya. Someone will get hurt in the process. But you two being the self-destructive lovers will only get your happiness by destroying others' happiness.
The easiest way would have been to prove that you are capable of standing by her. That you have learned the lessons of equality and just like she won over Ishwari, you can win over Bijoy. But instead you will try to make Sonakshi jealous by arranging marriage with a girl and Sonakshi will behave like a dumb idiot and put pressure on her dad to accept you whether he wants to or not.
So basically every parents of daughter can regret giving birth to a disloyal girl and wish for more loyal boys as if there is not enough of those demand already.
Great!!!
Next morning Sonakshi is waiting with Ishwari in Dixit house.
Mami comes holding their pawn praising her beauty. Vicky also supports Radha saying her taste is very good. (*SNORT*)
Mami says that now even Ishwari put tasted ok stamp on her.
Golu says that it's no big deal. He sees a lot of girls in school. They all look same.
Ishwari says: But this is not just any girl your BigCha is going to meet. She is special. He might even marry her. Then she will come to stay in this house with all of us.
Sonakshi thinks.
Me: Again, Ishwari your plan just might backfire.
Soha asks: Does it mean that Papa will get married today?
Radha says: If God wishes, then he will get married fast.
Ishwari says: That's very good. Isn't it Sonakshi?
Behena was busy looking around for Bhaiya.
She smiles.
Radha says: I think that Dev won't be able to say no for this girl.
Ishwari says: Look, what does it matter what we think? This time whatever Dev wants, he will get. He should just get married soon. It's good for everyone, isn't it Sonakshi?
Sonakshi asks: Auntyji, where is Dev? Why is he taking so long? He didn't change his mind, did he?
Ishwari says: No. How will he change his mind? He said himself that he is ready for marriage.
Golu runs to Radha and snatches the pic: I also want to see.
Radha tells him to be careful.
Sonakshi tries to sneak a peek.
Golu looks at picture and says: So this is new BigChi.
Ishwari sneaks a glance at Sonakshi: Not yet. Because they are not married yet. But if they get married, she will be.
Sonakshi feels uncomfortable. So she starts looking at her phone.
Golu shows the picture to Soha: Look Soha, your new Mamma.
Soha looks at her Mamma and sees she is busy in her cell phone.
Ishwari also looks at Sonakshi.
Soha says: I am looking at her.
Sonakshi looks up and sees Soha looking at her. Soha smiles.
Golu grabs Soha's head and turns it to the picture: Look here.
Soha says: Yes, she is very pretty.
Sona says: Auntyji, who takes this long? He is taking more time than a girl. I will go and check.
She gets up and sees Bhaiya finally clean shaven but with Chunky Pandey suit and Chunky Pandey hair.
(Those who don't know who is Chunky Pandey, google him)
Behena is stunned at even Chunky Pandey fashion sense.
Bhaiya shows attitude and totally ignores Behena and goes straight to Mummy and touches her feet.
Ishwari blesses him: You are my sun. Keep shining like this always.
Me: Baalon mein itna tel... I mean gel daalenge to chamkenge hi naa.
(If he uses so much oil... I mean gel... then he is bound to shine.)
Behena is still staring like an idiot.
Radha says: He is looking like a prince charm (ing).
Golu says: Not bad, BigCha. Not bad at all.
Soha says: Papa is looking so handsome.
Bhaiya: Thank you. Thank you, Suhana.
Me: Poor things have never seen Bhaiya in season one. So this is already a step up from his previous hobo homeless look. We have seen him in season one. So sorry. The Chunky Pandey ain't cutting it.
Bhaiya turns to Behena: Good morning, Miss Bose.
Behena says like an idiot: Thank you.
Bhaiya looks confused.
Behena shakes her head: I am sorry. Same to you. Good morning.
Bhaiya asks: You okay?
Behena: Yes. Actually... I am getting a call.
Bhaiya grabs her phone: The phone needs to ring before you get a call. None of us heard it ring.
Behena: It's on silent, no.
Bhaiya says: Okay. You can talk on the way. Let's go.
Me: You frigging kidding me? Jatin looks way better than this sample. So basically a Bhaiya in suit = your brain cells committing suicide, Behena? Well, seeing your idiocy, my brain cells are also protesting.
They are about to leave when Ishwari says: Dev, you are looking very good.
Bhaiya says: The thing is that today is a new beginning of my life. There is no place for my past in my life anymore.
He looks back to Sona: No looking back, right?
Behena nods.
Bhaiya says: Then fine, let's go. I don't want to make anyone wait.
Ishwari is a tad confused.
Me: Now you are doubting your plan, Maiya? I think you have a lot of people to answer when Bhaiya says yes. Starting with Asha and Soha.
At Bose house, Bijoy lights up a candle (?) in front of God.
He is super happy that Bhaiya is getting married.
He says: I lit a candle. Now you will have to fulfil my wish. I mean, I am requesting. We are in one team, no God? God, I want that Dev Dixit gets all the happiness in the world. I want whichever girl Dev Dixit sees, he falls in love immediately and he gets married to her quickly. Everything will be fine.
Asha and Dida see Bijoy praying to God.
Asha walks to God and prays.
Bijoy says: Asha, what are you doing here? I am having a private moment with God. So please excuse us...
Asha says: What is private in front of God? God is for everyone. I also want to wish for Dev.
She turns to God: God, whichever girl is with Dev today, may she always be with him. Always keep them together and give them your blessings. Fill so much love in their heart that they have no space for anything else. Please make them come together forever. That's our wish.
Bijoy is shocked: Asha, what did you wish? How can you ask such wish for Dev? It's not any of your planning, is it?
Asha: What could be my planning, Bijoy? I also want Dev to be happy. If you think good for people, good things will also happen for us. Didn't you know this? You know what? As you are getting older, you are turning into aunties from colony. You know the ones who just keep gossiping? Every day. Doubty aunty.
Me: There is a saying, be careful what you wish for.
Bijoy, as is his character, asked a straight forward wish. He wished Dev sees the girl he went to meet and falls in love and gets married quickly. He should always be happy.
Asha, as is her character, asked a twisty wish to outdo Bijoy. She wished that whoever is with Dev today, God should always keep them together. And she also asked Dev to be happy.
Now in her mind, she was thinking that Sona is with Dev. But today also the other girl is with Dev. So if God makes that girl his future, then also both of their requests get fulfilled.
After all, Asha didn't make a straight forward wish.
Now we all know that the girl is Radha and Vicky's pawn yadi yadi yada. But had she been an innocent girl just coming to meet Bhaiya and God was in a mood to fulfil wish today, then all schemes and all twisty talks would backfire on them...
In real life, that's often the case.
Although in television they show schemers to win every time, but in real life, often schemers end up being defeated.
That's why wise men used to say to take the path of honesty and truth. There might not be guaranteed win, but there is no loss, guaranteed.
But when you scheme and plot and take the underhanded way, win is not guaranteed, but loss is guaranteed. Because even if you win by scheming, it's not a real win. You know that you won because of tricks. And that's ultimately is a loss.
Bhaiya and Sona come to a restaurant. The manager greets him and says that he has done what Bhaiya instructed him to do.
Bhaiya and Behena come to the table.
The manager asks Behena if she liked the arrangement. Bhaiya says: No no. This is not for her. She is my ex-wife.
The manager says: I am sorry, madam. I thought actually...
Behena and Bhaiya both say, it's fine.
The manager leaves. They sit.
There is no one else in the restaurant.
Bhaiya says: Poor guy. He got so embarrassed because of us. How would he know that I will never do all this for you.
Behena says: Oh please!!! You used to do all these for me before.
Me: Hain? Really? Behena woh scenes kaun kha gaya? I mean, aaj tak saare romantic outing to humne sirf aap ke aur Ritwik ya Jatin ke saath hi dekha. Warna Ishwari to aap dono ko bahar saans bhi nehin lene deti thi. To aap kya first break up ke pehle wali baat kar rahe ho? Haan, tab to Bhaiya romantic bhi the aur attractive bhi. Sirf Shaadi hote hi sab gutter mein gaya.
(Who ate those scenes? We only say romantic outing between you with Ritwik or Jatin. Ishwari didn't even let you breathe outside, let alone date. Are you talking about pre first break-up scenes? Yes, then Bhaiya was romantic and attractive too. Everything went to shit after marriage.)
Bhaiya: That was before. Not now. Now I will do all these for someone else. Isn't it?
Behena nods: Right.
Bhaiya asks: So? How do you like this decor?
Behena looks around: What do I say? Say it's good or tell the truth?
Bhaiya makes faces.
Behena shrugs: It looked a little gaudy to me. Like you are trying to hard. But it's okay. Taste and class aren't everyone's cup of tea.
Bhaiya sits down: I think you haven't slept all night. That's why you are cranky.
Behena: I hope that girl doesn't get impressed with your show off attitude. Otherwise you two will keep on playing show off with each other.
Bhaiya says: Payal...
Behena: What?
Bhaiya: Her name is Payal (anklet).
Behena: I am sure, like her name, she will fill your life with chan chan.
Bhaiya: And my life will fill with music.
Behena: Yes, music without lyrics. Because lyrics will be taken over by chan chan.
Bhaiya: Sometimes I don't understand if you are mother of a six years old girl or you are six years old.
Me: Six? Then how did you celebrate 8 years anniversary? What's going on? Am I in alternate universe. For that matter, if I am, then it will all make sense. Until now I fail to see which person will stop a wedding where the groom is eager to get married without being an ass?
Behena: In my case you are wondering. But your case it's confirmed. You are still a child. Look at it. Who puts flowers like that? Such a kid.
Bhaiya looks at it.
Me: I don't know. Does any of this seem true love to you? Do you see anything that indicates that they even love each other? I don't think you can be a player in love. But these two are playing games with each other.
Bhaiya is baiting her and Behena is being bitchy. I am of the belief that we either love someone or we don't. Hence there is no point playing games.
Radha is fretting at Dixit house. Vicky says not to worry. His pawn will handle everything.
Radha is worried that Payal might mess up. Vicky says that nothing will go wrong. He will be controlling her from here.
Me: Wow, what a controlling family. Ishwari and Sona are controlling Bhaiya. He is trying to get his control back on Behena by trying to make her jealous. Vicky and Radha are controlling Payal the Pawn. Perfect. It's a frigging puppet show.
At the restaurant, Bhaiya says: You are right. I am still like a kid. I haven't changed.
Behena agrees: Hummm...
Bhaiya says: Why should I change? I don't want to grow up. You are there to take care of me. Always there, right?
Me: I don't know, Bhaiya. Let me give you a very good reason why every person has to grow up at some point of time. It's called parenthood which is not a child's play.
You got a child, remember? And you also want to be a father.
Pray tell how you will manage to be the parent and the kid at the same time?
Growing up doesn't mean you can't be fun and cheerful or have a sense of humour. Growing up means taking responsibilities for your actions, being accountable and living a life which can set an example for your kids. Not living a life which serves a warning to your kids on what not to become.
Behena is pleased to get the job of Bhaiya's Nanny cum baby sitter: Now you always need someone to take care of you. What else can I do?
Bhaiya: There was only one thing missing in my life - a friend. You filled that gap. Now there was the matter of life partner, which my best friend is looking for me.
Behena: All I want is that everything goes well and you like that girl.
Bhaiya: You know what? I feel that today whatever happens will happen for the better. I don't know why I am getting feelings from inside that I will like this girl. All confusion between us will get sorted. Maa will be happy. My life will be back on track.
Behena smiles: Good.
Bhaiya looks away and sees Payal. He says: Wow!!!
Behena is surprised: Wow? I didn't even say anything.
Me: Behena, unless Bhaiya is LLTT (looking London, talking Tokyo) which he is not, obviously he is not looking at you. So could you stop making a fool out of yourself?
Bhaiya shushes her and keeps staring at Payal.
Then he calls her and walks to her. He starts flirting at her that she is prettier than her picture. Payal says the same thing.
Bhaiya brings her to the table.
He says: I know it's a little weird. But I want to introduce her to my ex-wife, Sonakshi.
Sonakshi smiles.
Payal says: You are joking, right?
Me: *SNORT* I wish.
Sonakshi says: No. I am actually his ex-wife. And now we are very good friends. The responsibility of his wedding is in my head. So I want that he gets married fast. Because he needs a life partner who understands him and takes care of him. He is like a kid, you know.
Me: *SNORT* Behena, you forget to mention that this kid also has a kid and wants to be a father. Go figure.
Bhaiya says: He is right. I am like a kid who needs a lot of love.
He looks at Behena. Behena says nothing.
He says: Why are we standing? Let's sit.
Behena is about to sit when Bhaiya stops her: I mean us.
Behena says: Sorry. What was I thinking? Actually, you two sit and talk. I will go eat something. I am hungry.
Bhaiya: So sweet. By the way, everything is on the house.
Behena nods.
She moves to another table facing them.
Me: Behena, are you a peeping tom? If I were you, I'd have said that they need privacy and have left. Instead, you decided to watch people date. So in short, you have turned into a chaperone from Brittish era who used to watch other people have fun.
Had you two brain cells to rub together, you'd have told him that since he obviously doesn't need your presence once the girl arrives, you will bring a date as well. You refused marriage. But that doesn't mean that you can't date and enjoy a single lifestyle. Bhaiya and Maiya's game would have ended in nanosecond.
Bhaiya stares and Behena. Behena stares at Bhaiya.
Payal lifts her hair where she has a bluetooth stuck to her ear where Vicky is instructing. But of course Bhaiya doesn't see it.
Vicky asks her to cough to signal that she can hear him. So she coughs.
Bhaiya asks if she is all right.
Payal says that they met to get to know each other. So he wants to proceed or should she start?
Bhaiya says: People say that I am too complicated. So I will start. I just introduced you to my ex-wife. But there's another girl in my life except her who is very special to me.
Vicky and Radha are shocked.
Sonakshi looks at Bhaiya.
Bhaiya continues: My daughter, Suhana.
Vicky and Radha are relieved.
Bhaiya shows her picture.
Payal: Wow. She is so cute. As pretty as her name.
Vicky says: To not overdo it.
Payal subsides.
Bhaiya says: Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am. That's why we are best friends. We have understood it. But people don't understand it. But I can do anything to take care of Suhana.
Behena feels uncomfortable.
Me: Oh, so that's why you are getting married. You are so noble and generous, Bhaiya. You are marrying only for your daughter. So that she gets a nanny. But won't hiring a baby sitter would be cheaper?
Payal smiles.
Bhaiya says: There is another understanding between us that I will go stay at her house every alternate week. I know it will be hard to accept this for you...
Me: Oh hello, Bhaiya. You actually think Bijoy will let your married self enter his house to live with his daughter and granddaughter? Are you out of your mind?
No really, tell me honestly, am I crazy or this is turning into a twilight zone?
Vicky tells Payal to agree and instructs her what to do.
Payal puts her hand on Bhaiya's hand and says: Look, I can understand your situation. I respect the fact that you didn't hide anything. Whatever decision you take for your daughter, I have no problem with it.
Bhaiya: Are you sure?
Payal: Yes, I am sure.
Behena glares at her.
Bhaiya looks at Behena.
Vicky instructs Payal to remove hand. So she does.
Bhaiya asks: If she has any question.
Payal still following the same instruction: I have no question. I always wanted a life partner who is honest and who loves his family. After all, family is our real treasure. Because all these qualities are in you. I like you.
Me: (*SNORT*) Honest? God, that's hilarious... Aisa ilzaam to Bhaiya ke dushman bhi unpe nehin lagayega. ROFL...
(That blame even his enemy won't put on him)
Bhaiya and Behena look at each other.
Payal says that there is no pressure. You think about it and decide. I won't mind if you say no either. I just saw you with Sona. She is very beautiful, matured. I probably have no such qualities. But one thing is sure. I will try to complete your life by being your life partner.
Bhaiya looks at Behena: I think I should tell my decision in front of Sonakshi.
Sonakshi looks up. Payal waves at her and asks her to come.
Behena comes to their table.
Payal says: Dev wants to say something to you.
Bhaiya says: Sonakshi, I want you to listen to my decision. My decision is...
He picks up the phone.
Behena asks: Who are you calling?
Me: Who else, Behena? Mummy.
Ishwari picks up the phone and asks: Did you meet Payal? Did you like her?
Bhaiya says: I like her. I am ready to get married.
Ishwari and Sonakshi both are shocked.
Vicky and Radha are happy. Payal smiles. Mission accomplished.
Me: Yep. Now what will you do Maiya? What will you tell Asha and Soha whom you included in your hare-brained scheme?
But two things that gave Payal away today.
1. How did she know Sonakshi goes by Sona?
2. Which woman in the world will agree to marry a man who disappears every other week to live with his ex-wife in her house for his daughter?
If Bhaiya didn't get it, he is a moron.
PRECAP: Bhaiya probes Behena.
Behena says: I am not okay and it's because of you.
Bhaiya asks: What did I do?
Behena: You went to meet the girl and said yes in first meeting?
Bhaiya: You brought me to see the girl, I liked her and said yes. Now what's the problem in this? You first decide what do you want?
Sonakshi looks at him angrily.
Me: Behena, looks like you enjoyed chaperoning. That's why you wanted some more opportunity to do so. I always suspected you to be a masochist to still being hung up over Bhaiya. Just think that you now can get busy with being a wedding guest and no need to play third wheel anymore.
And if Bhaiya reminds you that he asked you to stick by him until the wedding is complete, you simply tell him that he needed you for moral support. Now that he is very eagerly getting married, he no longer needs you. Now he can go forth and be merry.
As I said, if you had a functioning brain, you won't be with Bhaiya, no? After all, all it took is different looks to kick start your hormones. Until now, you were not at all bothered by his numerous affairs.
Kuch Rang Shallow Waters ke Aise Bhi!!!
NO RULES!!! YAY!!!
And in that course, they come together, have passionate affairs, break up and then come together again as a set pattern.
In the meanwhile, they both get married multiple times. But every time they meet, married or not, they have an affair and ruin their spouse's life, their children's life and break up families.
All in the name of Lau.
In short, they are such people that neither they can be together since they are totally incompatible nor they can stay apart because they are also wildly attracted to each other like some people crave danger or adrenaline rush.
Dev and Sona are like those two people. They can never be happy together. Because everything Dev is - needy, lier, weak, escapist, are things Sona considers weakness.
And everything Sona is - strong, closed up, secretive, private, are things that makes Dev frustrated.
And together they are a lesson on all people how not to live life and love.
They remind me of the Bon Jovi song.
Shot through the heart, and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name
If one doesn't have the guts to fight for their love, then trying to create situations hoping they will get jealous and come running after them, is a coward's way out in my opinion.
How do you know in that situation whether they want you because you are as necessary for them as Oxygen or they want you, well, because someone else wants you.
And what happens when no one else wants you? Will they still want you then?
But that's the kind of game I have seen teenager plays in high school. Like flirting with someone hoping to get their boyfriend/girlfriend jealous.
If who they are dating is a smart person, they will say that they won't need a player in their life. They need someone they can trust. And they will walk away.
If they are dating someone insecure who thinks that they can't do better than this, they will run after them hoping to latch on to the person before someone else gets them.

I know what I will choose.
EPISODE: The episode starts with Sona lying on bed and thinking of what Bijoy said. There is an additional scene where Bijoy said that it's natural that she will feel bad because she used to love Dev once.
Just then Sona gets a call. It's of course Bhaiya. Behena is surprised.
Bhaiya: Miss Sonakshi Bose, why are you so surprised? You must have other friends who call this time.
Me: I am sure she has friends to call her so late like Jatin. But none who are planning their wedding. It's called decency. May be you should learn it.
Sonakshi says: No. But why are you up so late? You haven't started to take sleeping pills again, have you?
Bhaiya rolls his eyes: Don't worry. This problem won't remain your problem for very long. You should have fell asleep by now. Why you are still up?
Me: How else she will pick up your call, you idiot? Who can sleep through a phone call?
Behena stammers.
Bhaiya: I am starting a new life. Who can sleep in this excitement?
Behena says: Oh yes, I am very excited for you.
Bhaiya: Sonakshi, I am talking about me. I mean I am very excited that I am starting a new life.
Behena: Oh it's such a big responsibility no? And it's natural to feel nervous in this situation. And there's also the change factor. Everything will be fine.
Bhaiya: You are trying to make me understand?
Behena: Are you understanding?
Bhaiya: When you are with me, my best friend, then what do I have to worry about? So all set naa? There is no doubt, right? We are doing this.
Behena nods.
Me: No really, Bhaiya. What did you expect her to say after you conveyed how excited you are about your new life? Unlike you, she never ruined other people's happiness for her own happiness. She always wanted you to be happy. So if you keep giving impression that you are happy and excited, trust me, Behena is not going to stop you at all. Don't you remember what she did when you were marrying Natasha?
Now unless CVs have turned Behena's character 180 degree as well, she isn't likely to ruin your happiness. EVER!!!
Remember what I said about Maiya's tricks? The same applies to you. The deception and game you are playing, might just backfire on you.
Bhaiya: If you nod in phone call, how will the other person understand?
Behena: You understood no?
Bhaiya: I understood. But I don't know when you will understand.
Behena: Come on, Dev. It's about your life. Everything will be fine. And I also have no doubt. In fact, I am happy for you.
Bhaiya: You are happy and I am excited, what else do we want? From now on, we will never look at our past. No looking back.
Behena agrees: No looking back. Now we will just think about the future.
Bhaiya: Then fine. I will wait for you tomorrow at 9 a.m. for a new start.
Behena agrees: A new beginning.
They both hang up the phone.
Bhaiya looks at album filled with girls' pictures and gets angry.
Me: What? Did you think Sonakshi will suddenly beg you to stay in her life without no effort on your part? You chose a bad tactics to win her back, Bhaiya. Someone will get hurt in the process. But you two being the self-destructive lovers will only get your happiness by destroying others' happiness.
The easiest way would have been to prove that you are capable of standing by her. That you have learned the lessons of equality and just like she won over Ishwari, you can win over Bijoy. But instead you will try to make Sonakshi jealous by arranging marriage with a girl and Sonakshi will behave like a dumb idiot and put pressure on her dad to accept you whether he wants to or not.
So basically every parents of daughter can regret giving birth to a disloyal girl and wish for more loyal boys as if there is not enough of those demand already.
Great!!!
Next morning Sonakshi is waiting with Ishwari in Dixit house.
Mami comes holding their pawn praising her beauty. Vicky also supports Radha saying her taste is very good. (*SNORT*)
Mami says that now even Ishwari put tasted ok stamp on her.
Golu says that it's no big deal. He sees a lot of girls in school. They all look same.
Ishwari says: But this is not just any girl your BigCha is going to meet. She is special. He might even marry her. Then she will come to stay in this house with all of us.
Sonakshi thinks.
Me: Again, Ishwari your plan just might backfire.
Soha asks: Does it mean that Papa will get married today?
Radha says: If God wishes, then he will get married fast.
Ishwari says: That's very good. Isn't it Sonakshi?
Behena was busy looking around for Bhaiya.
She smiles.
Radha says: I think that Dev won't be able to say no for this girl.
Ishwari says: Look, what does it matter what we think? This time whatever Dev wants, he will get. He should just get married soon. It's good for everyone, isn't it Sonakshi?
Sonakshi asks: Auntyji, where is Dev? Why is he taking so long? He didn't change his mind, did he?
Ishwari says: No. How will he change his mind? He said himself that he is ready for marriage.
Golu runs to Radha and snatches the pic: I also want to see.
Radha tells him to be careful.
Sonakshi tries to sneak a peek.
Golu looks at picture and says: So this is new BigChi.
Ishwari sneaks a glance at Sonakshi: Not yet. Because they are not married yet. But if they get married, she will be.
Sonakshi feels uncomfortable. So she starts looking at her phone.
Golu shows the picture to Soha: Look Soha, your new Mamma.
Soha looks at her Mamma and sees she is busy in her cell phone.
Ishwari also looks at Sonakshi.
Soha says: I am looking at her.
Sonakshi looks up and sees Soha looking at her. Soha smiles.
Golu grabs Soha's head and turns it to the picture: Look here.
Soha says: Yes, she is very pretty.
Sona says: Auntyji, who takes this long? He is taking more time than a girl. I will go and check.
She gets up and sees Bhaiya finally clean shaven but with Chunky Pandey suit and Chunky Pandey hair.
(Those who don't know who is Chunky Pandey, google him)
Behena is stunned at even Chunky Pandey fashion sense.
Bhaiya shows attitude and totally ignores Behena and goes straight to Mummy and touches her feet.
Ishwari blesses him: You are my sun. Keep shining like this always.
Me: Baalon mein itna tel... I mean gel daalenge to chamkenge hi naa.
(If he uses so much oil... I mean gel... then he is bound to shine.)
Behena is still staring like an idiot.
Radha says: He is looking like a prince charm (ing).
Golu says: Not bad, BigCha. Not bad at all.
Soha says: Papa is looking so handsome.
Bhaiya: Thank you. Thank you, Suhana.
Me: Poor things have never seen Bhaiya in season one. So this is already a step up from his previous hobo homeless look. We have seen him in season one. So sorry. The Chunky Pandey ain't cutting it.
Bhaiya turns to Behena: Good morning, Miss Bose.
Behena says like an idiot: Thank you.
Bhaiya looks confused.
Behena shakes her head: I am sorry. Same to you. Good morning.
Bhaiya asks: You okay?
Behena: Yes. Actually... I am getting a call.
Bhaiya grabs her phone: The phone needs to ring before you get a call. None of us heard it ring.
Behena: It's on silent, no.
Bhaiya says: Okay. You can talk on the way. Let's go.
Me: You frigging kidding me? Jatin looks way better than this sample. So basically a Bhaiya in suit = your brain cells committing suicide, Behena? Well, seeing your idiocy, my brain cells are also protesting.
They are about to leave when Ishwari says: Dev, you are looking very good.
Bhaiya says: The thing is that today is a new beginning of my life. There is no place for my past in my life anymore.
He looks back to Sona: No looking back, right?
Behena nods.
Bhaiya says: Then fine, let's go. I don't want to make anyone wait.
Ishwari is a tad confused.
Me: Now you are doubting your plan, Maiya? I think you have a lot of people to answer when Bhaiya says yes. Starting with Asha and Soha.
At Bose house, Bijoy lights up a candle (?) in front of God.
He is super happy that Bhaiya is getting married.
He says: I lit a candle. Now you will have to fulfil my wish. I mean, I am requesting. We are in one team, no God? God, I want that Dev Dixit gets all the happiness in the world. I want whichever girl Dev Dixit sees, he falls in love immediately and he gets married to her quickly. Everything will be fine.
Asha and Dida see Bijoy praying to God.
Asha walks to God and prays.
Bijoy says: Asha, what are you doing here? I am having a private moment with God. So please excuse us...
Asha says: What is private in front of God? God is for everyone. I also want to wish for Dev.
She turns to God: God, whichever girl is with Dev today, may she always be with him. Always keep them together and give them your blessings. Fill so much love in their heart that they have no space for anything else. Please make them come together forever. That's our wish.
Bijoy is shocked: Asha, what did you wish? How can you ask such wish for Dev? It's not any of your planning, is it?
Asha: What could be my planning, Bijoy? I also want Dev to be happy. If you think good for people, good things will also happen for us. Didn't you know this? You know what? As you are getting older, you are turning into aunties from colony. You know the ones who just keep gossiping? Every day. Doubty aunty.
Me: There is a saying, be careful what you wish for.
Bijoy, as is his character, asked a straight forward wish. He wished Dev sees the girl he went to meet and falls in love and gets married quickly. He should always be happy.
Asha, as is her character, asked a twisty wish to outdo Bijoy. She wished that whoever is with Dev today, God should always keep them together. And she also asked Dev to be happy.
Now in her mind, she was thinking that Sona is with Dev. But today also the other girl is with Dev. So if God makes that girl his future, then also both of their requests get fulfilled.
After all, Asha didn't make a straight forward wish.
Now we all know that the girl is Radha and Vicky's pawn yadi yadi yada. But had she been an innocent girl just coming to meet Bhaiya and God was in a mood to fulfil wish today, then all schemes and all twisty talks would backfire on them...
In real life, that's often the case.
Although in television they show schemers to win every time, but in real life, often schemers end up being defeated.
That's why wise men used to say to take the path of honesty and truth. There might not be guaranteed win, but there is no loss, guaranteed.
But when you scheme and plot and take the underhanded way, win is not guaranteed, but loss is guaranteed. Because even if you win by scheming, it's not a real win. You know that you won because of tricks. And that's ultimately is a loss.
Bhaiya and Sona come to a restaurant. The manager greets him and says that he has done what Bhaiya instructed him to do.
Bhaiya and Behena come to the table.
The manager asks Behena if she liked the arrangement. Bhaiya says: No no. This is not for her. She is my ex-wife.
The manager says: I am sorry, madam. I thought actually...
Behena and Bhaiya both say, it's fine.
The manager leaves. They sit.
There is no one else in the restaurant.
Bhaiya says: Poor guy. He got so embarrassed because of us. How would he know that I will never do all this for you.
Behena says: Oh please!!! You used to do all these for me before.
Me: Hain? Really? Behena woh scenes kaun kha gaya? I mean, aaj tak saare romantic outing to humne sirf aap ke aur Ritwik ya Jatin ke saath hi dekha. Warna Ishwari to aap dono ko bahar saans bhi nehin lene deti thi. To aap kya first break up ke pehle wali baat kar rahe ho? Haan, tab to Bhaiya romantic bhi the aur attractive bhi. Sirf Shaadi hote hi sab gutter mein gaya.
(Who ate those scenes? We only say romantic outing between you with Ritwik or Jatin. Ishwari didn't even let you breathe outside, let alone date. Are you talking about pre first break-up scenes? Yes, then Bhaiya was romantic and attractive too. Everything went to shit after marriage.)
Bhaiya: That was before. Not now. Now I will do all these for someone else. Isn't it?
Behena nods: Right.
Bhaiya asks: So? How do you like this decor?
Behena looks around: What do I say? Say it's good or tell the truth?
Bhaiya makes faces.
Behena shrugs: It looked a little gaudy to me. Like you are trying to hard. But it's okay. Taste and class aren't everyone's cup of tea.
Bhaiya sits down: I think you haven't slept all night. That's why you are cranky.
Behena: I hope that girl doesn't get impressed with your show off attitude. Otherwise you two will keep on playing show off with each other.
Bhaiya says: Payal...
Behena: What?
Bhaiya: Her name is Payal (anklet).
Behena: I am sure, like her name, she will fill your life with chan chan.
Bhaiya: And my life will fill with music.
Behena: Yes, music without lyrics. Because lyrics will be taken over by chan chan.
Bhaiya: Sometimes I don't understand if you are mother of a six years old girl or you are six years old.
Me: Six? Then how did you celebrate 8 years anniversary? What's going on? Am I in alternate universe. For that matter, if I am, then it will all make sense. Until now I fail to see which person will stop a wedding where the groom is eager to get married without being an ass?
Behena: In my case you are wondering. But your case it's confirmed. You are still a child. Look at it. Who puts flowers like that? Such a kid.
Bhaiya looks at it.
Me: I don't know. Does any of this seem true love to you? Do you see anything that indicates that they even love each other? I don't think you can be a player in love. But these two are playing games with each other.
Bhaiya is baiting her and Behena is being bitchy. I am of the belief that we either love someone or we don't. Hence there is no point playing games.
Radha is fretting at Dixit house. Vicky says not to worry. His pawn will handle everything.
Radha is worried that Payal might mess up. Vicky says that nothing will go wrong. He will be controlling her from here.
Me: Wow, what a controlling family. Ishwari and Sona are controlling Bhaiya. He is trying to get his control back on Behena by trying to make her jealous. Vicky and Radha are controlling Payal the Pawn. Perfect. It's a frigging puppet show.
At the restaurant, Bhaiya says: You are right. I am still like a kid. I haven't changed.
Behena agrees: Hummm...
Bhaiya says: Why should I change? I don't want to grow up. You are there to take care of me. Always there, right?
Me: I don't know, Bhaiya. Let me give you a very good reason why every person has to grow up at some point of time. It's called parenthood which is not a child's play.
You got a child, remember? And you also want to be a father.
Pray tell how you will manage to be the parent and the kid at the same time?
Growing up doesn't mean you can't be fun and cheerful or have a sense of humour. Growing up means taking responsibilities for your actions, being accountable and living a life which can set an example for your kids. Not living a life which serves a warning to your kids on what not to become.
Behena is pleased to get the job of Bhaiya's Nanny cum baby sitter: Now you always need someone to take care of you. What else can I do?
Bhaiya: There was only one thing missing in my life - a friend. You filled that gap. Now there was the matter of life partner, which my best friend is looking for me.
Behena: All I want is that everything goes well and you like that girl.
Bhaiya: You know what? I feel that today whatever happens will happen for the better. I don't know why I am getting feelings from inside that I will like this girl. All confusion between us will get sorted. Maa will be happy. My life will be back on track.
Behena smiles: Good.
Bhaiya looks away and sees Payal. He says: Wow!!!
Behena is surprised: Wow? I didn't even say anything.
Me: Behena, unless Bhaiya is LLTT (looking London, talking Tokyo) which he is not, obviously he is not looking at you. So could you stop making a fool out of yourself?
Bhaiya shushes her and keeps staring at Payal.
Then he calls her and walks to her. He starts flirting at her that she is prettier than her picture. Payal says the same thing.
Bhaiya brings her to the table.
He says: I know it's a little weird. But I want to introduce her to my ex-wife, Sonakshi.
Sonakshi smiles.
Payal says: You are joking, right?
Me: *SNORT* I wish.
Sonakshi says: No. I am actually his ex-wife. And now we are very good friends. The responsibility of his wedding is in my head. So I want that he gets married fast. Because he needs a life partner who understands him and takes care of him. He is like a kid, you know.
Me: *SNORT* Behena, you forget to mention that this kid also has a kid and wants to be a father. Go figure.
Bhaiya says: He is right. I am like a kid who needs a lot of love.
He looks at Behena. Behena says nothing.
He says: Why are we standing? Let's sit.
Behena is about to sit when Bhaiya stops her: I mean us.
Behena says: Sorry. What was I thinking? Actually, you two sit and talk. I will go eat something. I am hungry.
Bhaiya: So sweet. By the way, everything is on the house.
Behena nods.
She moves to another table facing them.
Me: Behena, are you a peeping tom? If I were you, I'd have said that they need privacy and have left. Instead, you decided to watch people date. So in short, you have turned into a chaperone from Brittish era who used to watch other people have fun.
Had you two brain cells to rub together, you'd have told him that since he obviously doesn't need your presence once the girl arrives, you will bring a date as well. You refused marriage. But that doesn't mean that you can't date and enjoy a single lifestyle. Bhaiya and Maiya's game would have ended in nanosecond.
Bhaiya stares and Behena. Behena stares at Bhaiya.
Payal lifts her hair where she has a bluetooth stuck to her ear where Vicky is instructing. But of course Bhaiya doesn't see it.
Vicky asks her to cough to signal that she can hear him. So she coughs.
Bhaiya asks if she is all right.
Payal says that they met to get to know each other. So he wants to proceed or should she start?
Bhaiya says: People say that I am too complicated. So I will start. I just introduced you to my ex-wife. But there's another girl in my life except her who is very special to me.
Vicky and Radha are shocked.
Sonakshi looks at Bhaiya.
Bhaiya continues: My daughter, Suhana.
Vicky and Radha are relieved.
Bhaiya shows her picture.
Payal: Wow. She is so cute. As pretty as her name.
Vicky says: To not overdo it.
Payal subsides.
Bhaiya says: Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I am. That's why we are best friends. We have understood it. But people don't understand it. But I can do anything to take care of Suhana.
Behena feels uncomfortable.
Me: Oh, so that's why you are getting married. You are so noble and generous, Bhaiya. You are marrying only for your daughter. So that she gets a nanny. But won't hiring a baby sitter would be cheaper?
Payal smiles.
Bhaiya says: There is another understanding between us that I will go stay at her house every alternate week. I know it will be hard to accept this for you...
Me: Oh hello, Bhaiya. You actually think Bijoy will let your married self enter his house to live with his daughter and granddaughter? Are you out of your mind?
No really, tell me honestly, am I crazy or this is turning into a twilight zone?
Vicky tells Payal to agree and instructs her what to do.
Payal puts her hand on Bhaiya's hand and says: Look, I can understand your situation. I respect the fact that you didn't hide anything. Whatever decision you take for your daughter, I have no problem with it.
Bhaiya: Are you sure?
Payal: Yes, I am sure.
Behena glares at her.
Bhaiya looks at Behena.
Vicky instructs Payal to remove hand. So she does.
Bhaiya asks: If she has any question.
Payal still following the same instruction: I have no question. I always wanted a life partner who is honest and who loves his family. After all, family is our real treasure. Because all these qualities are in you. I like you.
Me: (*SNORT*) Honest? God, that's hilarious... Aisa ilzaam to Bhaiya ke dushman bhi unpe nehin lagayega. ROFL...
(That blame even his enemy won't put on him)
Bhaiya and Behena look at each other.
Payal says that there is no pressure. You think about it and decide. I won't mind if you say no either. I just saw you with Sona. She is very beautiful, matured. I probably have no such qualities. But one thing is sure. I will try to complete your life by being your life partner.
Bhaiya looks at Behena: I think I should tell my decision in front of Sonakshi.
Sonakshi looks up. Payal waves at her and asks her to come.
Behena comes to their table.
Payal says: Dev wants to say something to you.
Bhaiya says: Sonakshi, I want you to listen to my decision. My decision is...
He picks up the phone.
Behena asks: Who are you calling?
Me: Who else, Behena? Mummy.
Ishwari picks up the phone and asks: Did you meet Payal? Did you like her?
Bhaiya says: I like her. I am ready to get married.
Ishwari and Sonakshi both are shocked.
Vicky and Radha are happy. Payal smiles. Mission accomplished.
Me: Yep. Now what will you do Maiya? What will you tell Asha and Soha whom you included in your hare-brained scheme?
But two things that gave Payal away today.
1. How did she know Sonakshi goes by Sona?
2. Which woman in the world will agree to marry a man who disappears every other week to live with his ex-wife in her house for his daughter?
If Bhaiya didn't get it, he is a moron.
PRECAP: Bhaiya probes Behena.
Behena says: I am not okay and it's because of you.
Bhaiya asks: What did I do?
Behena: You went to meet the girl and said yes in first meeting?
Bhaiya: You brought me to see the girl, I liked her and said yes. Now what's the problem in this? You first decide what do you want?
Sonakshi looks at him angrily.
Me: Behena, looks like you enjoyed chaperoning. That's why you wanted some more opportunity to do so. I always suspected you to be a masochist to still being hung up over Bhaiya. Just think that you now can get busy with being a wedding guest and no need to play third wheel anymore.
And if Bhaiya reminds you that he asked you to stick by him until the wedding is complete, you simply tell him that he needed you for moral support. Now that he is very eagerly getting married, he no longer needs you. Now he can go forth and be merry.
As I said, if you had a functioning brain, you won't be with Bhaiya, no? After all, all it took is different looks to kick start your hormones. Until now, you were not at all bothered by his numerous affairs.
Kuch Rang Shallow Waters ke Aise Bhi!!!
NO RULES!!! YAY!!!
Is it new trend to wear checks suit and contrast belt? I prefer old look for dev..cannot see him in this cartoon look.
ReplyDeleteComing to story...i felt actors not at all interested. Did not feel..anything. when dev came with suited..i thought sona going to burst out laughing. I felt how difficult would have been for Erica to emote bowled over this new look. Gosh we hv to watch this chikna dev now?
Ya as Tia said Chunky Pandey. So hilarious. I seriously burst out laughing looking at bhaiya. Real cartoon. Sona was drooling over him? Why are the CVs hell bent on making this serial worst day by day both in terms of the story and actors looks.
Deletehaha...Pramila, same thoughts. I can imagine Erica dying to laugh.
DeleteGosh...oh my Gosh, what was that?Did you say chikna Dev?
Since the curtain wala look is over for Sona, they r experimenting on Dev now...hahaha...with the new Lungi look.
This suit is not worth it. Dev looked like Arjuna out in the Kalyug, in old fashioned business suit...I cant stop laughing...ROFLing
Seriously I still cant believe that anyone believes remotely that Sona can drool over this cartoon avtaar of Dev. Just look at the way Sona was dressed today...how can someone like her drool over someone appearing like that?
DeleteForget fashion sense...they lack pure common sense.
Precisely. Reminded me of '80s disco suits combined with Govinda/Chumley Pandey hair style.
DeleteAnd Behena drooling on that? How? Why? What the eff?
And what shallow love. The only thing matters is looks.
Tia, the episode was hilarious...so are you..:)
ReplyDeleteYep, these two kids are better off as just friends.
Joker and Memsaab were sitting in a posh but gaudy decor wala restaurant....LOL
Two adults talking like kids arguing over their homework.
I couldnot stop laughing. It was too much fun....comedy show!!!
The end scene where Sona-Ish were shown was too good. These two ladies needed it big time. ..*clap*
Bijoy was funny. Asha,as usual, irritating.
Golu-Soha cute.
But scene stealer were Dev-Sona. I need to say this...I have come to respect these two too much...cant imagine what it wud have taken the fashion blogger Erica to enact the drool scene. Cant imagine what it wud have taken Shaheer to appear so confidently droolworthy...Hatsoff to both!!!
I'm still ROFLing...if they hadnt shown Suhana, I wudnt have known these two are parents of a kid.
If this is reality, I dont know what am I? A dream?!!...LOL
I know, right? Dreams nehin re, more like drama and nightmare.
DeleteI mean who the heck in their right mind will go back to a guy who was claiming a few days ago that he wants most is to get a girl back, then next day says that his Mummy said he should marry and he also wants to marry and that girl is one of many options, the next day says that he does not want to get married and the day after is drooling over another girl and eager to marry her? I mean who wants such a fickle person as husband?
Mad or what?
Sorry to interrupt your convo but couldn't stop laughing at the joker and memsaab statement!
DeleteHahaha. Damn hilarious!
Update done. Responses later.
ReplyDeletellol tia how u manage to write so humorously to this teddha meddha episode ...i agree jatin looks far better than this thel ki dukhaan(no offense to shaheer fans he looked so teedha to me today season 1 he looked the best )
ReplyDeletewell did u observe each actors expression as if they are doing there duty and not even interested ..
erika and shaheer had zero chemistry and supriyaji was clueless and bland ....golu was the only one good .....
lol tia Bhaiya is LLTT (looking London, talking Tokyo) u seriously cracked me still laughing and choking i was having a glass of h2o ....
arey baap re dev acting as if he never hurt sona and asha acting as if bijoy is amrish puri and she is farida of ddlj what nonsense were was brain when they were homeless on street she could have begged dixits to take back sona and any cast make her doormat seriously some one needs to shoot her ..
anyways i want to shoot the writer first ...
tia how are baring all this dear go through the episode and analysis it so well ...
i am following instagram to see only devakshi bit skipping the rest ..
lol u named dev as chunky pandey i call him chumpu oh lord save the fashion u know what thats the fashion in tv those types of suits are fashion and ishqbaaz hero used to ware it but fan demanded to change so stopped it i feel the maker hired it from there to make dev look horrid ....
lol tia a joker .madamji and anklet in restaurant what a scene 3 ka tadka kya kya bakwas dekna pad raha hai .....Pyar hame kis mod pe le aaya
Ke dil kare haye koi toh bataye, kya hoga
dev can't fight for his lou and sona can't express lou eating our brain in the name of lou time waste kiya bijoy ka our hamara bhi aab katam karo natak sona bait ja dev ke godhi me our ja dixit je le apni zindagi
Lol, I know right? I also felt like LLTT. Looking Laughter Challenge, Talking Tragedy. I mean I hope to God this is no one's reality because I don't wish such bad luck on anyone. I had heard of women who keep getting back to a bad man or relationship. But this is an example of that which unfortunately CVs are glorifying.
DeleteIf they were side characters and no one had told us that Bhaiya is the hero, we'd think that he is an ass who does not deserve any woman.
Had no one told us that Behena is the heroine, we'd think what a pathetic character.
But unfortunately they have told us that they are supposed to be together because they are hero and heroine, no matter how incompatible and destructive it is. But in real life, no one tells us who is hero or heroine.
People prove by their actions whether they deserve the lead role in someone else's life or they should be just let go for one's sanity and happy life.
shaheer face value making him the hero on the show if some one else was dev story would be different ...real life funda is different but i bet elders in the family try to sort out things but its up to individual to follow there wish ..
DeleteYep. There's is absolutely nothing worth admiring in Dev Dixit as a man. Only because of Shaheer, people are still sticking to Bhaiya.
DeleteHahaha. I almost choked on the Chunkey Pandey bit! To tell you frankly he looked more awful than him.
ReplyDeleteI'm not able to think why CVs always think that jealousy can be the only via media to make someone realize their love. Would've been more thoughtful if they had shown him taking more care of Sona and genuinely trying to win over her father instead. Cuz to me at least showing a jealousy track for parents of a 6 year old daughter seems quite OTT. Loses all the maturity. But then when did anyone of them had it anyway LOL :-)
I know, right? That's exactly my point. You only realize how much you love when someone else wants him/her? Until then where was your love?
DeleteThat was my problem with Bhaiya in season one when he became obsessed with Behena when Ritwik entered her life. Until then he was fine breaking up with her.
Again he got interested only when he thought Jatin might be interested.
And now they are using the same script for Behena.
I mean kitni baar ek hi formula chalaoge? Woh bhi Sonakshi pe who wished Bhaiya two days ago to get married again and went forward solving Ishwari's past problems?
And now suddenly she is jealous because Bhaiya looks handsome (according to her)? How shallow can you be?
It's like those people who dress up sexy to make their ex notice them thinking if only their ex notice them when they are dress up, they will take them back again. As if that is even love. Pathetic!!!
Rightly said.
Deletei dedicate this fresh new song to the writer and makers of this unique show turned in to shitty show
ReplyDeletebank char--tashreef song
Hosh ke udh gye kukad tote
Hope ke ho gye tote-tote
Tote...
Hosh ke udh gye kukad tote,
Hope ke ho gye tote tote,
Soya na bech ke ghode,
Ho gye dono chitar chode,
Lag-gye lag-gye lag-gye lag-gye,

Tell me bro humne kaya hai bigada,
Aisa lesson mila...

Sare piche pade leke bambu,
Frustration ne gaada hai tambu,
Are batti gul hai batti gul hai,
Batti gul hai re..
Baaney ka sapna tha mera,
Kyun kiya bandey aa,
Lottery aaj-tak kadi naa lagi,
Par...
Lag-gye lag-gye lag-gye lag-gye,
Lag gayi tashreef...
Chaai gari pe gilla aata,
Maangi ti puppi padh gya chanta,
Billi ka humney rasta kaata,
Happiness ko bola ta-ta,
Lag-gye lag-gye lag-gye lag-gye,
Lag gayi tashreef...
Ek-do sheeshi baam laga dey,
Raaba bigda kaam kara dey,
Meri bhi to tu party kara dey,
Maazey naa ley tu meri baaja ke,
Lag-gye lag-gye lag-gye lag-gye,
Lag gayi tashreef...
Bass kar yaar..
Wah wah!!! I haven't heard this song before. But lyrics is on point. I am imagining Payel making chan chan so that Bhaiya can have music.
Deletelol tia i think u need to see this song its dam funny rites deshmukh expression is top notch i didn't add few lines its bit vulgar but too funny u can see in youtube
DeleteReally? Okay I will watch it. :D
DeleteWhat's with the hideous suit?Itna senseless costume department.... what a waste of good looking actors....puke worthy costumes....
ReplyDeleteJealousy track for parents of 6year old.... immature and senseless
sensible window se out jealous bakwas in all tv serials have same boring concept this show joined that gang
DeleteExactly. Sonakshi is permanently in aunty costume and Bhaiya is in hideously ugly suit with used car salesman hair. And honestly. Who plays jealousy games beyond teenage years?
DeleteWho plays jealousy games beyond teenage years?
Delete---> Devrath. Actually Sonakshi never played the jealousy game. Its Dev who is intentionally playing it to make her realise her love.
I have never seen any other show , portrayed as mature love story but actually showing crazy stupid teenage-wala love
Yep. Bhaiya behaves like hormonal teenager with his first crush, has sense of responsibility of a toddler, needs Mummy like a baby and hence wants a nanny for a wife.
DeleteDev(singing in his mind):
ReplyDeleteSuit boot mein aaya kanhaiya
Band bajane ko
Naye geet pe naach nachane
Gujre zamaane ko(Ish-Sona)
Sona(singing in her mind)
Kanha re kanha re
Tu hi re tu hi re
mere dil raja re
Phate jeans--->Chunkey pandey suit mein Dev bhaiya casanova se kanhaiya ban gaye.
What a casanova cudnt do to Sona, Kanhaiya avtaar did it....I meant Arjun in CP suit.
Lol. True.
DeleteBut as per Sonakshi's character she is willing to sacrifice her love right? She did during the Natasha track, she did during the break up track, she did during the ritwick track, she did during her marriage, she did for seven years while Dev was sleeping around. So maybe jealousy doesn't make sense for such a character. She's not like Dev who stalks and makes a scene in public.
ReplyDeleteI wish Dev just works to fix the problems between them and then proposes. He still hasn't fixed anything, his mom improved magically on her own, Bijoy still hates the Dixits, and Sonakshi still doesn't trust him. I hope Sonakshi says that she loves him and always will but they can't be together because there is no trust and respect between them.
You are speaking of consistency. But the script is not at all consistent. Because both Bhaiya and Behena behaving like teenager going through puberty. Complete with teenage angst and playing petty games. As an adult, it's bloody annoying to watch. It's like sitting through freaking Twilight.
DeleteTia, great Me comments, as usual. Episode was crap as usual.
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting really mad at these makers, writers and actors now, not about the show (bcoz that has gone down the drain long back), but for the way they have treated every sensitive issue as a joke - Mother-son relationship, SIL slapping FIL, fertility track, now the remarriage track. Fertility and remarriage - Do they even realize how serious these issues are?? how it impacts a girl's life?? Someone please tweet the makers to stop this crap show ASAP. Remarriage is not a joke pls, it takes a lot of courage for girl or guy to do that. When someone has been hurt through bad marriage or through losing a partner, it takes an immense strength for them to move forward in life. Yet here they have yet again made this too joke between 2 useless immature individuals who behave just like teenagers. Disgusting writing in the name of chemistry between the leads.
I know, right. I am at the point that I can't even see any chemistry between the leads. I need consistency to believe in a plot. But it looks more like a study of the teenage mind.
DeleteSo agree with you !!! Its not easy for a woman or man to pick up the pieces and move on
DeleteI agree with you all and Great post !
ReplyDeleteI don't watch :) and find WU to be enof
If you are on twitter - do voice your views. Can't believe the Sob story there on how Dev is suffering and sona is suffering and they are both so sad and seem to think the story line and dev making sona J is all so good --- I don't get why adults will act this immaturely and why any woman line sona would go find new wifey for ex ---- hey but that seems to be just me :)
Maybe twitter is another level of make believe !
Thank you. I am not in Twitter because I honestly love my peace of mind. I don't even go to IF anymore except to check PM's. Nope. You are absolutely right. No woman will go find a wife for her ex and no woman will marry a man who brings his ex to select her. But then when did any female characters in television ever had self-respect. I get about Payal. She is in it for money. But there is no reason for Sona to get involve in this shit. I loved Ishwari's shocked face. I can't wait to see what she explains to Soha and Asha.
DeleteI only watched yesterday's episode to see Dev in that so talked about new avatar. And I had to keep my eyes in the freezer for some freaking time to cool of eye scorching suit from of my eyes. Even the people in the 80's did not experiment in such a horrendous way the way Dev D did. It looked like he had chosen something from Willy Wonka's wardrobe. btw ROFL on Chunky Pandy comment which is so freaking apt.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I liked in the episode is Dev trying to take control over his life although in a much stupid way, but he is doing so. Keeping aside all the past episodes, I liked seeing sona J. Since we know she is going to run back to Dev, I hope this jealousy forces her to convey her fears to Dev.
OMG... Willy Wonka. Yes. Combined with the hairstyle. Good lord. So true.
DeleteHonestly I wish Sona had realized her feelings before getting jealous vs. getting jealous and then realize her feelings. The difference is that I don't know whether she wants him because someone else wants him.
The same way we will never know if Bhaiya would ever stand by her side if his Mummy didn't like her.
That is not the definition of love in my book.
That is not love for me as well.But sometimes if man is not able to take a stand, I think a woman can take if she is strong and wiling to fight. That is the only plausible theory I can come up with to enjoy the show. Let's enjoy the crap cause we can't get out of the addiction and we have to keep ourselves insane.
DeleteWith this if I share my personal story, would it be okay?
Yes, sure. You don'tneed my permission to share your personal story. This is no rules area. So share away.
DeleteThat suit 😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😹😸 enough said
ReplyDeleteYep. I thought of Chunky Pandey and BH remembered Willy Wonka. 'Nuff said!!!
DeleteHow I wished to see one Intense episode of devakshi discussing about their past issues. Then coming together in a mature way. But cvs turned into comical. That no looking back is for us only..they communicated to us that no past digging.
ReplyDeleteI must say cvs have no guts in showing solving real problems. I want to question them, when they Did not want to clear issues..why did they even brought those issues seriously. They could have shown they broke up for silly reason or bcoz of loggerheads something like that.
Now we should just move on..
That's exactly it. I have problem with this track for exactly this reason. For me, Bhaiya and Behena's so-called love seem juvenile and immature. Not to mention pathetically shallow which is only standing on physical attraction.
DeleteTia, when I was talking to saumiee on the forum, she told me to accept this show as a lovestory of two children who are not more than six years old. And then Dev has also said the same. Hence you can call it juvenile love
DeleteSoumie is right. I felt like I was watching high school drama.
DeleteWhenever I try to think its high school drama, Soha,Golu remind me otherwise.
DeleteJuvenile love doesnt involve the kids of the juvenile.
Its difficult to let it go as such....if only the leads werent good,I wud hav quit.
Its Dev's ploy to get hit by Payal's bf so that Sonakshi realises her love for him...LOL
ReplyDeleteNext week brace for the comedy show of the year.
Fusion article says its realistic...I'm at loss of words.
As you said juvenile love...thats how real it actually is.
Lol. First he wants Sonakshi to take him back because someone else might grab his discounted self which is apparently a great bargain. Then he wants Sonakshi to take him back because of pity. Great!!! Instead of showing Sonakshi that he is capable of being a better life partner this time around and a better in-law for her family, he wants to be picked up as an item in a garage sale.
DeleteTia, even in a garage sale a person buys only the stuff they want. This is more like buy one, get one free sale, "mummy likes you, so now I like you too" except with a lot of unwanted tax put in.
ReplyDeleteJust one word for bhaiya's look "horrendous". He looked ugly with the suit and the hair.
ReplyDeletethis guy needs a hair cut asap.
I wish just for one the final episode, can the cv's bring in bhaiya's season-1 look back. Sick of his looks in season-2.
We wish. But I think the show Shaheer is doing in Indonesia requires long hair. That's why he isn't cutting it.
DeleteHaven't people heard about wigs. Why can't they just use it and make bhiaya look decent. PH can't be this canjoos. May be I am asking for too much.
Deletedoes anyone else feel like the recent "off screen" photos of shaheer and erica that are surfacing are a publicity stunt for the show. why are there so many "together" type photos surfacing all of a sudden, especially from two people who claim to want to keep their personal life private.
ReplyDeleteIf this is a publicity stunt, I would like to ask the writers and makers to improve the script and execution of the show instead of doing all this. Hasn't shaheer already been burnt by this previously, why do it again?
I don't know actually. In real life Erica and Shaheer are pretty good friends. So those could be just two friends spending time together. Publicity stunt never trumps a good script.
DeleteFinally someone is there who holds this viewpoint. It is definitely done to make the people engage with the show. In mass communication, this is known as framing and that is what the PH is trying to do. They also know that they have no story to tell, so now they want to engage the audience with pics and vids helping them believe that they are a couple. If you see that was not the case in first season, these videos along with dating rumors have picked up pace in the second season. It is a well concocted plan
DeleteI agree that they are probably good friends, even if they were a couple I wish them well (Erica will need it given shaheer's fan base), what I have a problem with is using this relationship to cover for a weak script/execution. Instead of doing all this just put more effort into the script/execution.
DeleteI think this is a publicity stunt because the pics/videos/stories seem to increase as the script tanked with Ishwari's sudden enlightenment where more people lost interest in the show.
It feels like the show now has people who watch just to finish the show and those who ship sharica. nobody is interested in a cohesive story anymore.
They might be good friends or a couple (the least I care) but the PH is definitely doing all this and asking them to do this for the show. these are some of the tactics used by media people which are taught to us in mass communication.
DeleteThey have been using these vids and pics way before Ishwari's realization. They would release a pic or a vid when they knew the episode is not going to welcomed by the audiences. Now they are flooding with vids because the show is ending.
Exactly, there are def. these two dominant groups and there is a third group who watches the show only for the male actor.
With this, I will also say this that they are definitely a couple in real life as well. It is quite easy to read their expressions.
DeleteI don't think it was media publicity. I feel they are going to marry soon. So they are opening up about them.
DeleteShaheer is already 33..its high time for him to settle.
Story wise it is turning positive...so no need of publicity. Ph giving what majority wants. Only we few ppl crumbling about reality/story. So in my opinion.. soon we will receive good news from them.
Somehow the shows I follow or end up watching have coincidentally real-life couples
DeleteIts very very strange.
I love these two leads as a couple. Shaheer-Erica have wonderful chemistry and really suit each other. But still not sure if they are more than just friends. Actors can give good expressions for a publicity gimmick. I'm still of the opinion that they wont marry and are not a couple yet. Something looks cliched in the way the pics and vdos r coming up in the social media.
For all we know, Shaheer may be celebrating being a mamu again.
He is 33 but Eri is only 24 and ambitious, I'm not very sure if they plan to get married so soon or even that she really is involved with him, apart from being friends.
Till they acknowledge it openly,I'll stick to good friends theory.
Look at eri..her dressing sense. Being Catholic, her dressing itself is biggest proof that sharica are together. These two the way they mingle with family each other's occasion also says a lot. If they come together I will be happy. They look beautiful together. But my only concern is eri might not continue acting. Being her fan I want to see her acting for some time more :)
DeleteWhen I got to know that a new phase is starting in KRPKAB, I logged in to see what was happening..and guess what I saw '' Dev ko kisi ne thappad maara ''.. Lol, so this was the new phase..
ReplyDeleteI honestly do not watch the show anymore. In fact, I avoid it intentionally, bcoz I know if I happen to come across the episode on my TV or laptop, I'm going to end up smashing the screen..
The makers are really confused what to do. First of all, the story of this show is totally changed. The script is absolutely different now. The plot was the ML and FL working and fixing their relationship because of an insecured Mother in Law. This plot is nowhere to be seen in the show.
I also came across an article today that apart from the new girl in Dev's life, there is one more girl who's going to enter as part of the remarriage track. Seriously ? When they were telling new phase, this is what they were talking about ??? And Sona is sitting with Dev and Payal on the table.. I thought she was going to help Dev find a girl. But here, she is babysitting Dev to find the girl . SMH.
One of the worst things in the show is the makers obsession with drooling over characters.. I mean Dev shaves his beard and comes in wearing a fancy cartoon suit, and they show Sona in awe and drooling over him.. Really ?? Is that supposed to please the viewers ?? Basically, they are trying to say that Dev should have a makeover with new costume and look, and that will make Sona come towards him forgetting all those things that happened 7 years ago..
The show really looks dragged now.. Just imagine, in the month of June itself, they are struggling to move the story ahead, how the hell are they going to carry it till the next year ??
Phew !! I think I have ranted too much.. Last thing, I heard that Dev Dixit is planing all these things so that Sona confesses her love.. Oh really ? So a multi million dollar businessman has so much time to waste in the crappy things.. Bhai itna hi dimaag 7 years pehle lagaaya hota toh you could have convinced Sona then itself.. Why all this drama ?? The same old thing where Sona will be wandering here and there without realizing her love... and then suddenly on the engagement or wedding day, she will crash the party and say ''Nahiiiii, Dev ruk jaao.... tum mere ho... I love you ''
And then another innocent girl, payal or the new girl's heart will be broken just like Rithwick and Natasha and they will be wondering what they did to deserve this... Huh !
Good points, Zed. Also, another question comes to mind is that how CVs expect us to believe that after Dev has selected the girl as his new bride, very eagerly mind you, Sonakshi will agree to go on his date as a third wheel? He is giving full impression of being smitten with Payal so of course it's no longer a hardship for him to remarry. And how that girl's boyfriend slapping him is supposed to make Sonakshi realize her love? Is she applying for the post of his bodyguard that this will suddenly look like a good opportunity for her?
DeleteAlso, how another prospective girl for marriage (after Payal, second line up) and Bhaiya agreeing to her as well is going to make her think that he is at all worthy of being anyone's husband? It seems to me is that this track is to make Sonakshi think that she is like a bus. If not her, then someone else. Specially as he is giving full impression of being smitten with the prospective brides?
I have never seen any woman suddenly realising her love seeing a fickle person at play. One who falls for everyone, can't be a husband of one. Simple!!!
Sorry Tia but I wont be able to share my story (I have major trust issues). I don't have the courage to do so.
ReplyDeleteHey, I heard this new song on women empowerment "Most Girls" by Hailee Steinfeld. I wanna hear your views on the song.
P.S This show (KRPKAB) is a lesson for all the people of what you should not be in order to lead a happy life. (narcissistic, insensitive, rescuer/martyr, emotionally abused, too tolerating, egotistical, wuss, dumb (like Saurabh), a loyal friend to undeserving people, stubborn, liar, impulsive, loud, avaricious, horrendous dresser)
Fair enough. Feel free to share anything you want here. But only if you are comfortable. I have heard the song you are talking about. It is a good song. But I'd say most girls are smart and beautiful and unstoppable. Because the only person who are the road block in their life are themselves. Check out this Ted talk video.
DeleteIf she can, everyone can. But you need strong will and courage to go against the flow and of course we need the system which supports a woman.
https://youtu.be/h_Xh5MXA7yY
Awesome video. Thanks for referring it to me.I agree with what she is saying.
DeleteExactly Tia, every person man or woman, is beautiful in his or her own skin. He/ she should be proud of the unique traits that he/she is born with instead of following the pre-defined standards for them.
If after all the crap they have served us in S2, if anyone from this show ever dares to call it even remotely related to reality, I'm going to open a twitter account myself and blast the makers, writers and the actors.
ReplyDeleteIt's teleland's reality as in people don't wear loud make up in bed. That's it. That's as much real they can get.
DeleteHa ha.. you are so right, that's all the reality we can hope for....
DeleteThis track is basically introduced for Sona's confession. Let's just say they drag this track for 2 weeks, or maybe the entire month of June and then she will propose and they reunite.. What are they gonna do from July onwards till the end of the year??? There's absolutely nothing left to show when they reunite...
ReplyDeleteOr maybe they go the typical way, Dev and Sona having another child, then a leap happens, they grow up etc. etc.. like Yeh Rishta kya Kehlata....Bcoz honestly, there's no point in story after their reunion.. I mean they can't show Dev and Sona having problems in marriage again due to... That would be like repetitive for the 100th time... Nor can they show Ishwari's insecurities again in the show... They have used all these things like a million times already..
Honestly, Zed. At this point, all I care is Bijoy to leave his family and go somewhere else to live with Golu. Jatin has already ran. Then an atom bomb can wipe out the rest for all I care.
DeleteThe break up and most of the pain Sonakshi suffered in season one might had been mostly Bhaiya's fault. But Sonakshi's insults, humiliation and misery in season two is due to her pathetic nature which she has inherited from Asha.
So she deserves everything she gets.
Actually this show has outstayed it's welcome. It would have been very memorable if they had left it as a finite series. Instead now it's just going to be a bad reminder of how nonsensical it became...
DeleteTia you are so right. But season 1 me bhi behena ko rescuer bn k Ishwari ki insecurities reduce krni thi (dadi bua track) and then she had to rescue neha and riya as well. Or doormat tendencies tu Asha ne rescuer syndrome k saath genes me hi di ha Behena ko although Asha ko use koi nai krni pari coz Bijoy was/is an excellent husband.
DeleteI cant seem to understand who is torturing whom emotionally? Its a deadlock.
DeleteDev-Ish forcing Sonakshi to arrange his marriage/involve in the preparations emotionally
Ish-Sona forcing Dev to marry emotionally
Dev-Sona confusing Ishwari about them being a couple or not
It looks like its a permutation of teams of the trio and all are involved in making the other a victim. Honestly,it sucks!!!
Latest segment shows Dev ends up in Sonakshi's office to help him chose his sherwani, dressed up in a suit?! Seriously?!! He never lands in his office in S2 except to meet/manhandle/ogle/irritate Sonakshi. Better give the whole office space in charity to Sonakshi ...as a friendship-day gift, atleast she'll put it to good use.
Waiting to watch another comedy show tonight...not that I dont know whats gonna happen!!
Latest one..Dev putting gajra on this new girl nisha.
ReplyDeleteSonakshi's angry outburst at Bijoy that her rishta didnt work bcoz he never liked Dev?!
--> I'm with you Bijoy on this...I hope you quit bothering abt your daughter's happiness, she needs all the miseries in this world...I'm furious with the CVs on this.
When had Bijoy actually disliked Dev? Wasnt he the one who went first to Ishwari for their marriage before the break up?He never disliked Dev till he realised he is actually spineless. And their rishta broke bcoz of Ishwari, when did Bijoy ask her to do anything otherwise?
I'm fuming fuming fuming Tia.
Bhaad mein jaaye Devakshi. Sonakshi zindagi bhar roye...doesnot matter to me if she treats her father this way. He only asked her for the truth. She didnot have the courage to say it and she lied...probably bcoz she herself believed in the lie since Mr. Handsome Dixit does nothing except shaving and looking good in suits.
Yikkeeessss
