OMG this was so beautiful. It makes me feel all sorts of gooey

I totally forgot that scene where Kunal sees her with some guy at a cafe. Can someone give me the episode number?

Honestly, I always felt like writers don't put much effort when it comes to Kunal's character. There were so many instances where the storyline needed his reaction but it was never shown to the audience. One of the examples of this is the time when Kunal got to know that Meenu threatened Abir that she would reveal Kunal's birth truth and throw him out of the house. Kunal's character had just found out that he was not Meenu's biological son and then he comes to know that his Mom threatened to throw him out of the house. He should have been appalled by that revelation because he had always done everything his mother asked him to do. Why was the feeling of betrayal and abandonment not shown? After this huge revelation, he doesn't even think about anything but starts his Mishbir Milan plan and starts dancing in Nishmish functions. I know his character is supposed to be fully devoted to his brother and he puts himself last, but the writers always do a lousy job in actually showing Kunal's character's feelings in a convincing way and his character sometimes looks half-baked. If Kunal's character was written properly, it had the potential to become the best character of the show because he has so many layers and great scope for character development.

THIS!

I wholeheartedly agree. There is so much potential but the incomplete writing leaves so much to be desired. Even I forgot about that due to his non-reaction. The core of Kunal's reaction was feeling like he didn't belong and he finds out that his priya maa threatened to make him homeless and he has no reaction to it?

@bold- 🤣🤣OMG exactly. That is so inconsistent with his character. He went back to being devoted to Meenakshi like he hadn't even heard that part.

Also, @aqua, I agree, the outfits during the NishMish shaadi track were A1. Really liked Mishti and Kuhu's haldi outfits

Aaj ka..taaza taaza banaya hua...

I differ only on one point. Kunal had this look of complete shock on his face when he finds out about Meenu. It felt like he portrayed all his emotions in that one look.

I was really hoping for scenes after that but they didn't show anything. That was super super disappointing. I wish he would focus on himself for once and we would be shown that. That track was supposed to be about Kunal and it ended up being about Abir. Why couldn't it have been about both??😢

Ek baar to Nanko ka perspective dekhne milta. They did this a second time too when he called Parul 'maa' out of nowhere. What do the makers have against showing Kunal's feelings??

Why don't I remember seeing this?? Anyway, it was so good!! So so nicely done!!❤️

unpopular opinion:

I think kunal was always attracted towards Kuhu, right from when he bumped into her on that night after abir had kidnapped him

also Kunal not finding Kuhu attractive & still going out with her just after her sis dumps him on his GD day doesnt go in line with what we were shown in initial episodes about Kunal's character

he clearly had feelings for Kuhu from the start, the look they exchanged in the scene that Sam has mentioned clearly indicated to me about Kuhu's complaints, & Kunal's helplessness

infact when I was watching the show in initial days, and I wasnt even a kuku fan by then, I could clearly see kunal's liking towards Kuhu

even during Ketu's haldi, when he goes inside to wash his stained kurta & finds Kuhu trying to wipe off stains from her hands, there is this scene where they interact in Kunal's room & I found that there was a flirty undertone in all their interactions and I was surprised that this man is in marital courtship with her sis but looks more interested in her

@clarity: I don't think you can take Kunal at face value when he is talking to Meenu. I totally accept that I am filling in the blanks here because there is no getting around the fact that Kunal isn't authour-backed enough to analyse him without a little imagination but in stringing all of the disparate scenes we got together, I formed this image of a guy who makes no bones about the fact that his mom and brother are his highest priority -- and that is a conscious, adult decision on his part. He keeps trying to distance Kuhu from his life to stand by this decision but circumstances and Kuhu herself don't oblige. Kuhu keeps hanging on and becoming more and more essential to him, making it harder and harder for him to put a cap on his own feelings.

If you juxtapose the scene where he tells Meenu he doesn't like her with the bachelor party scene, where he tries to tell Kuhu that he doesn't love her but ultimately can't do it when he looks in her eyes, it becomes more about him not understanding this connection they have as "love" (which persisted until recently when he asked Jugnu what love was), because it's simultaneously so much bigger and so much quieter than anything he has associated with that word before.

When he was saying he doesn't like Kuhu, I read it more as him protecting her from a marriage with someone who could never be the husband she deserves. He was saying to Meenu, don't make me ruin this person's life permanently, and extremely angry with her for making him into this horrible, deceitful person. And for me, that is the appeal of their story -- he keeps pushing her away and she keeps loving him anyway. In the process, he discovers that he is worthy of love and she discovers that she is capable of a lot more depth than anyone ever gave her credit for.

Offo!! Mere gharwaalo ko aaj pakka lagega ki mera chakkar chal raha hai. Smiling too much today🙈.

What'd I do?? It was all Riya. If it wasn't for her, I would've probably left the forum long back. Her stories and the topics on Kuku kept me coming and then ofcourse, she created the AT. Thank God for her that we're all here and I have place to discuss the show (Potter, ATLA and so many others) and my ships.

@Bold-1: So true!! I love the fact that he didn't fall for her looks but I do cherish the moments when he admires her beauty as well. It's so ironic that Kuhu worked on her outer beauty since she was a kid to be admired and receive love and the guy who falls for her doesn't look at that at all. It makes me love this couple.

@bold- Oh Pihu thank you so much 😃. At first when I started Kuku I knew IF wouldnt have many fans but I wanted post about them. Then when I decided to create the AT I was ready for disappointment assuming there wont be much interaction on it. But now three AT's later I am so glad I did. I have learned so much from you all about the scenes, characters and other things.

Thank you all for being part of this AT and enjoying it so much. You all are just amazing 🤗

@blue- the feels, yes Kunal has fallen for her personality, who she is as a person. But he has checked her out or admired her multiple times, during the rishta meet, engagement, during Mishbir's sangeet when she started dancing on tu cheez badi hai mast mast. He just didnt make it as obvious.
