That's what I've been saying! Been there, done that guys. I really thought we'd get something more along the lines of Priya assuming that he doesn't know something, like the geezer thing for example as callback, and then he turns the tables on her and she's in shock, and then we get them both kind of learning more about each other and letting go some preconceived notions.

@bold: True, and that made his gesture hit differently 😊 Waise S3 Priya is not only a dentist, but a very effective masterni also. 2-3 meetings mein middle class ka essence nichod ke pila diya Ram ko 🤣

Why bother the jeev jantu in the rain forest? 😈

Arre main toh kehti hoon seedha rocket mein daalo aur Mars bhej do. Desh ka bhi bhala ho jayega. We'll finally find out if Mars is habitable or not.

@Blue: Papa Sood isn’t entirely wrong😆 Ram is indeed in relationship with Kriti (he hasn’t broken up yet) and has no qualms playing with Priya’s hair or playing trip and catch with Priya (the dil ki dhadkan moments) while still being in that relationship 😆

As much as I don’t want a third wheel between RaYa, the fact that Ram is someone’s bf and still getting married to Priya is like sand in the eye.

Yeah, this is the one thing where like I'm like...

I feel bad for all three of them in this situation like, you can't control your feelings, but also, Ram, get it together. I know you and Priya are probably soulmates, but you have a girlfriend. And I know Priya doesn't know Kriti, she doesn't owe her anything and this is Ram's responsibility, but I feel like if after everything she went through with Yuvraj and Alekha she just keeps letting all these romantic things happen in front of Kriti... I'd kinda judge both of them. This is all very messy and hurtful to everyone and I might just be Team Kriti here.

(Yes, we can argue that Kriti insisted on this fake marriage, but also, she trusts Ram not to betray her and I don't blame her for regretting her actions now. Like, babe, you could've absolutely fake married him yourself, gotten Shalini to do her surgery, explained the situation, and then continued with your life plans before you were actually ready to marry Ram, but okay.)

🤣🤣You put everything in a nice gentler way, but I am with you. I’ve been voicing it out in a different way.🤣All I hope is that the writers’ve understood how messy the script is and it is hard to romanticize a contract marriage especially when the man has an active GF he’s frolicking around with…..How’s Priya okay with wasting her life for someone and his family who she has no connection/obligation and who give two hoots about her and her family. I don’t see Priya feeling even a tiny bit guilty about misleading her parents. She has no second thoughts of shaming them with her lies about Yuvi and the future when the truth comes out. Ram seems to have no mind of his own being a puppet to his GF and friend. They are oh so casual about the entire fake thing. There is no emotional connection between the lead characters so far other than the forceful romanticism created for the leads by viewers who love them( like the forceful connection abetween Pizza and Priya with the mehendi🤣)🤣🤣

I agree with you on the above scenes.

But why should all the blame be on Priya. Instead of questioning Priya about her relationship with Yuvraj. Why couldn’t Ram and Alekha find out themselves what the truth was. They believed Yuvis lie and decided Priya was at fault for running after her ex. Is it always the females who has to be questioned.

And didn’t Alekha see them cozying up when she came to deliver Yuvis phone. Didnt she think then?

Well, blame be on Priya, for lying to her parents...

I don't care about Kirti , Ram and Pri...they are in the mess created by themselves. To some extent Aleka too ..as instead of solely dependent on Ram /Pri..an intelligent , rich and independent girl like her should do a background check..but I guess Ekta has kept this track open for future poverty track

Honestly , Papa Sood and Mamma Kapoor , are the only two person I feel bad about...

I understand that the message is not very good, the man changes his girlfriend for another, but the behavior of Ram, and Kriti herself, makes it clear that there was no depth and value in their relationship. At all.

In a few days with Priya, Ram did and felt more than in years. Everything speaks about this: both words and actions, his complete freedom next to Priya

You are too sweet, Sea. You know I love RaYa too. But if Kriti had broken up with Ram, I would have found the scenario more acceptable.

I have it to give it to Priya who has no guilt of cheating such a loving and supportive father!! Does Priya secretly think she will turn this fake marriage into real one?🤣

So today's episode was pretty good😆, except for definitely the bakri shreya part🤢

The starting scene with Priya teasing Ram about impressing the in laws was so fun 🤣

And the mehendi and the whole part was really beautiful for sure. Plus I think they used a new bgm today which was soooo like wowww!!! Really loved the whole mehendi part and the chemistry between nm dp was fine as wine just like everytime. I'm really liking them warming up to each other so much, teasing and having fun, and the growing bond for sure. To save this marriage, they are working like such a good team, which is helping them grow closer. So really liking their growing equation, if we remove the aspect that technically Priya is other woman, a normal love story like this, would have been all love ❤

I don't wanna even mention about kriti shreya and cousins part coz that's useless. Even in the scene with nm, the scene looked so flat due to the presence of those people. Even nm couldn't lift it up 😵

And a special mention to the dad daughter bond in the show which is absolute love. It's just so pure!!! Our Priya, our Girl, definitely deserved a father like this. Everytime I see their scene, I get so happy and overwhelmed, just teary eyed.😭❤ Such a good father, and after seeing the bts of bachelor's party, I actually cannot blame him for reacting like this. Hamare Ramu ne harkat hi aisi kari hai🤣

And even the small ritika priya scene was fun, ritika is tryna heat things up, but priya to hai hi priya, alag hi direction me le gayi 🤣

Rest all scenes were bs!

I'm such a grump, but here goes...

Did they show Priya's burn? It was a diya, right? Why couldn't they just make a small design in the corner of the palm or even on the fingers alone, or even or the back of the hand? I am not so hot on these endless marriage functions, and I remember a time they weren't de rigeur, so I do my Priya Scrooge commentary, muttering, "Aaj kal ke chochle!" All that just to shoehorn Ram's wonderful nature?

Also found the pizza mehndi thing silly and totally random. It seems to me that Ram's ott foodieism is supposed to provide a character pointer, because the character isn't delineated enough?

Why does Priya seem so anxious for the marriage to happen? Has she become too invested in not losing face and/or being marked as someone who had 2 marriage arrangements fall through?

I don't feel invested in the potential love story. It doesn't have the feels of the promo shots, just a jumble of incidents that we know will lead to love.

Honestly, for everyone irritated by Kriti, it's Priya who's the interloper. Yes, Kriti is responsible, but, as ajacob says, Kriti-Ram are the couple. Imagine if Priya was in Kriti's place and vice versa, wouldn't most then be rooting for getting the third party off the scene? Unfortunately, our shows can't have other love interests for the leads without blackening them. It's like the lead has to be the best, not just the better, person, and it's not enough to be a good person; the rival must be bad. So lame and lazy. This is what is making this so boring for me. It's not so long since we saw better execution of almost the same story with the same leads (early balh2), and while the light moments here are fun, it can't overcome the lack of freshness for me.

Also, God, I miss Nandini's bite; even Shubham's crude, in-your-face rudeness, coupled with those sudden truths (remarking how he also felt Ram Priya were made for each other, during the first interview in balh2); and Adi. I am glad Ram has a nice, blackmailing (sorry, couldn't resist) mum, and Nandini was too much, but that spice is missing. Shardul is nice, but what's his brief? Alekha is a potential problem, and Priya's lie is hanging over our heads.

I do like Priya's dad and her scenes with him. I also like that he's capable of getting angry. I haven't watched the episode, just 2 clips, Nakuul's mehndi reel and the BTS of P's dad ranting about Ram. Feel sorry for Ram, actually, but there's no question all will be magically resolved. That's why boring.

Sorry, Nitya. Needed to vent, so I rained on you.

I don't know about all that. This season seems a lot more chilled out compared to the previous one. (Yuvi will never be Neeraj though. God, I miss Neeraj. 😆)

I will say though, I can't tell Ram's girlfriend and his best-friend apart, they look the same to me. Unless Yuvi's there or something, I'm just in a constant state of confusion.

Oh yeah, I forgot Neeraj. Lol, I did enjoy Neeraj, especially later.
