This scene just gives you the pangs. The angst here is beautifully portrayed, especially when you know what Kian means to Janvi and how much Arya has always admired her as a mother from day 1. His total shock at her apathy to his reassurance that Kian is fine, because he thinks she's having a tough time being away from her son for the first time in her life and the reserves of steel she had to rely on to prevent herself from falling apart here. Karan and Ulka are just rocking it!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Both of them nailed the scene. Arya knows Janvi's love for Kian and the shock on his face 🥺 his confusion at her behaviour towards Kian ...

And Janvi's disinterested face.. effectively concealing her emotions..

Both did a wonderful job.

Why zee why...? Why did you have to pull the plug on this. Couldn't they just give us some more of this couple.

Another good episode. Murli and Ritu scene was so sweet, they were thanking each other for their support and it almost felt like the actors were doing the same. I loved how Murli was telling her about how sweet the trio's story was, since he was an early witness to Arya falling in love with Janvi, and he echoed the audience in that the story was great until Anuskha came. I do hope he can help uncover the truth because Arya's like a volcano about to erupt.

Taiji was referring to some secret reason for wanting to oust Janvi, hope we'll discover this. Maybe she's in cahoots with Suyesh. As expected, we'll keep hearing about Brij on the phone. LOL

The Kian Janvi scene was heart touching and watching Janvi's agony about having to mistreat Kian was beautifully done by Ulka. She's such a powerful performer, I'm really going to miss seeing her on screen. She gave Janvi the grace and fire needed for this role. I'm a fan now.

Also we now get bewildered Arya who just can't come to terms with what he's seeing Janvi do, as if it's a completely different person from the woman he loves. He's still not giving up on her and asked her to beat him up to take out her anger on him instead of Kian. Aww.. Aryaman Bundela slaying till the end. He's almost like a volcano about to erupt so Dadaji was right in not including him in the drama.

I observed something and maybe I'm reading too much into it but the writers are showing that the moment Janvi wants to move on in her life and not be burdened by raising a child who is now rightfully with his bio parents, people can't seem to accept it. Not even Arya. We know that Janvi's acting but Arya doesn't. He's always known her as Kian's mother and knows how much she sacrificed for him over the years. He can't seem to digest the fact that Janvi may actually want to move away from parenting and focus on herself, especially since she has no legal claim to Kian. The fact that she told Kian a version of this makes me think it's deliberate writing, because she uses her words to show Kian that yes she didn't do much for herself all those years because she was busy looking after him, and while she did it with all her heart, she was indeed deprived. If indeed this is deliberate, then hats off to the writers for this nuanced messaging. This show and team really deserved a worthy platform to showcase everyone's talent.

I hope at the end of the show they'll have Arya acknowledge this and take on a more proactive role in Kian's life so that Janvi can have a little time for herself to study, hang out, and enjoy life like a typical young woman. She will still be Kian's mother, but not just his mother, building her own identity. Maybe I'm expecting too much, lol

I read somewhere the last episode will be on the 18th, but I'm not sure.

Oh yes. Murli and Ritu finally got a cute scene. They totally deserved it. Alongside our AryVi, I genuinely liked this couple too.

I fail to understand Taiji's gripe for Janvi... Pagal aurat. She's supporting a poisonous snake thinking she's amazing🤦

Yes Janvi has indeed missed so much in her life. Writers did a good job to make her say how much she had missed. But we know she's just saying these stuff to make Kian go away.

I wish Arya had heard her... He would probably let her enjoy time for herself. Actually I would really have loved seeing that... But there's no time for such developments in the story.

I still have a little hope that they'll show Anushka confessing it's not Arya's bio kid. Let's see.

I will think of this show as a finite one minus the Anushka track. The last few episodes have been good. I think once the team decided to go off air, they weren't under pressure from the channel to execute in typical ITV mode, which is why we're getting much better quality writing lately. I wish they spent the time showing Suyesh, Ujwala, and Anushka, not just Anushka. I think Brij not being shown is by far the biggest mistake they made on the show, but oh well. I will go back and watch these episodes on repeat.

My all time favorite on Sony is a finite show Yeh Pyar Nahin to Kya Hai that was 120 episodes or something but they go to tell the full story and wrap up as expected. Almost the same length as MHST but the difference being that Sony allows makers to tell the story. Had MHST been on Sony the experience would have been completely different.

Fingers crossed.. let's hope Anushka says that.

Yes they abruptly cut away the screen time of the rest of the Bundelas and the Sons in law.

Exactly..Brij is an integral part..and he should've been on screen.

Hey even I've watched that show but recently on YouTube. You're right it was a good finite series.

I wouldn't mind if MHST is a finite series. Atleast it wont get butchered mindlessly. But this ending seems a bit too abrupt. I hope they do tie some of the loose ends atleast.

We only got 3 mins of Arya in the latest episode and an overdose of Anushka and Taiji. Maybe they're going to reveal her to be the mastermind after all.

I'm on the fence about Arya pushing Janvi, didn't want to see this kind of behavior from him. Yes, he's angry and can't control his temper but I didn't like it. Even on the wedding night he pushed her on the bed in anger. Their fight scene had sparks flying though. Man these two have great chemistry even in such types of scenes. Universe, do your thing and recast them please. I loved how Arya keeps showing how well he knows her, inside out and doesn't believe her words or actions. He's suspicious about Brij and I hope we get to see him do some fact finding instead of just being angry all the time. At least let him go talk to Murli.

Ugh, instead of some soft moments we get all this other crap.

I think Karan has grown leaps and bounds as an actor just during this show itself. When you compare to earlier scenes in MHST (or even compared to his previous shows Imlie or Krishna Chali London), he's emoting way better now. His facial expressions and body language are way more precise and on point, delivering a great experience for us.

@bold ...this, a thousand times!

I think it's because she feels that once her husband died, Brij took over the business and her Nikamma Nishant won't get any property. She's always hated Arya and maybe she's the one that got him kicked out all those years ago by framing him in the drug case. She doesn't like Anushka either but is using her to get rid of Janvi. The main reason is that she realized how crazy Arya is about her (and now that he's the father of the Bundela heir, Kian) and she knows what a great mother she is, which makes the Arya-Janvi-Kian trio a threat to her power plays in the house.

I think they probably would have shown Janvi's journey if the show had run the way originally planned. What a shame. I still want to know if Arya's the bio dad or not. The actor playing Suyesh hasn't been shooting for the show so maybe Anushka or Taiji will reveal this. There are 3 more episodes to go, why are they wasting it on crap? Give us some meaningful scenes, please.

In my mind, I will think of MHST as a finite show that I can go back and watch over and over (minus the latest track). All said and done, I'm grateful that we go this show, team, and cast because they magic they created in 4 months is rare on ITV. I haven't seen a show like this in a long long time, especially on Zee TV. Recent favorites of mine are Katha Ankahee which was top notch but Sony allowed them to tell the story and it was a finite show so they didn't unnecessarily stretch it. The leads of that show were something else altogether and I really hope that Karan and Ulka get cast in something as epic as that, maybe on Sony. I hope neither of them takes too long a break. I'm gonna miss seeing them on screen.

Yes the episodes until before the big wedding event are watchable anytime. I'm going to consider the story ended there.

Exactly. Why are they wasting episodes with showing Anushka all the time.

Arya and Janvi scenes together are reduced to nothing now.

I haven't seen any of Karan's other works but yes the improvement in his acting happened in this show itself. Added to that he has a richly masculine voice.
