This one just breaks my heart. It reminded me how much Kuhu has cared for him and loved him from the beginning itself. I know I sound like a broken record, but I just wish Kuhu had a life partner that would prioritize her, just as she does them.

Sach kahun to I like the slow agonising love story because late hi sahi but we will get a fulfilling story for these two. But for now, I hope these edits mend your heart.

@Peace: Exactly! It's no coincidence that the the decisions Kunal takes which Abir approves of and dubs "independent" happen to also be the decisions that go against Meenu. Why can't it ever be Kunal's decision to support his mother because he sees sense in what she is saying, cares about her feelings, or thinks there is a better way to deal with her?

Haye, I loved your reading of the back hug dream sequence, how Kuhu's love just sort of snuck up on Kunal, and enveloped him, when he wasn't looking. And in a moment of stress and doubt, her touch and presence is what he craved.

@clarity: I totally get your POV but we may have to agree to disagree on this one. Abir and Meenu are very different on the surface, but when it comes to Kunal, I see them as equal forces, pulling him in opposite directions when all he wants to do is hang out peacefully in the middle. As you know, I also find Meenu a much more sympathetic and layered character than most viewers of the show, so that contributes to my reading as well. Abir's ego issues are not as apparent because they don't take the shape of saazishes, but I think he is equally hellbent on forcing people into his way of thinking -- they are both very my way or the high way people and Kunal takes on both of their share of compromise. That is precisely what I think Kuhu is starting to see and point out now, but Kunal desperately wants to hide to maintain whatever little peace there is.

For the next AT I decided to narrate KuKu story through gifs and came across a fact that I am sure has been mentioned multiple times. But here it is again we get best KuKu scenes whenever Kunal wears blue.

1) Kuhu's I love you scene

2) Kuhu allergic reation scene

3) calendar/cupboard scene

4) cheek kiss scene

5) Humma sequence

6) The dori scene

I love this idea. Can't wait to see the new AT!! Let's paint this forum blue!!😉

@Peace- That's an interesting point.

That made me think about the conversation on emotional labour, how women do a major chunk of it in relationships. I am also reminded of Pihu talking about how she doesn't want Kuhu to be Kunal's therapist all the time.

There is a trend in popular culture of having women 'love' damaged men to healthier versions of themselves. There are many examples on ITV where women accommodate and assuage men who are commitment phobic, angry, heartbroken etc.

Does this make us expect more of female characters and less of male characters? How do we look at this conversation from KuKu's POV?

@Sam- Fair enough. 🤗

Meenu- Yeah, I have no sympathy or empathy for that woman. She is irredeemable for me. I think her equation with Kuhu shows just how self-centred she is and how disposable people are to her. Post the MishBir wedding, I understood that Meenakshi never had any affection for Kuhu. All of her 'niceness' was super fake and served her in the moment. She sees Kuhu as a pawn in her Clash of the Titans with Mishti. She really seems incapable of any genuine affection. Even her 'love' for her sons is conditional and driven by a sense of 'I am always right'.

Tum logon ne toh jhoomar ko hi hatane ko bol diya 😆.

Nahiiin...I love that jhoomar. Yaad hai, yeh wahi jhoomar hai jisko Kunal ne kiss karke apne pyar ka izhaar kiya tha.

The inspiration for this siggie was Sam's HC on KuKu's tiff after they came from the resort. I was digging around for some images of when she slept on the couch but came across this aerial shot of Kuhu and the jhoomar glistening. So I had to use it. Scruffy, angry Kunal was according to the HC and the sight eveyone seems to love.

I was just playing around with image of Kunal laying down staring at the ceiling. I couldn't think if it looked too crowded.

Arree! Jhoomar hataane ko nahi bol rahe. Focus se hataane ko bol rahe hai. I love the inspiration for your siggie and the jhoomar😆. It's just that it's the first thing that catches your focus rather than what you want to convey through your siggie.

You should totally choose what you like but I am just saying ki this is what I do. When I am confused while editing my photographs, I choose focus over beauty because at the end of the day, that was what caught my eye. I hope what I am trying to say makes sense.

EDIT: I love the idea of using TIU quotes!! I'll go looking for them once I am done with replying to all the messages or actually, I'll share my favourites with you tomorrow because din me bohot time hota hai when I am not helping out with housework.

She had those gorgeous, flowy floral ones before the leap that were so her. The ones after the leap are just plain nightgowns with a net overcoat that has some weird frilly/feathery detail at the cuffs. So far, I think we have seen a peach one (after her first event and recently after the logo launch) and a maroon one (the tickling scene). The post leap clothes have been quirky at best to downright absurd. It's a wonder that Kaveri manages to convince me that whatever she is wearing is adorable, just by the way she carries it.

The one exception is that dress she was wearing at the resort. It was so cute and looked amazing on her! And I am so glad she found that kurta -- has to be my favourite night look by far ☺️

I love those quotes, and now you have inspired me to look for more! 😃

Before I reply to this post, see this!!!!

I loved those floral nightgowns too but Kaveri pulls off everything. Out of the non-traditional outfits, my favourite dress post leap was the yellow and black one before NishMish mehendi. She looked so good in that dress!!🤩 Also, the other dress I want to add to that list is the white one below. It reminded me Kuhu's wardrobe before marriage, western clothes with traditionally embroidered borders.

Fav Kuhu looks!

I think thats the case why so many of us kuku fans are disappointed, because we feel that the work that needs to be put in from kunal's side is still pending, and thats why we sometimes feel that maybe Kuhu deserves someone better

but then going by the past history of kuku love story, writers have mostly surprised us by not taking a cliche route, and the small-small details embedded in kuku scenes give us hope that maybe they have more in store for us and we will get both being equals in this relationship love story in kuku's case

I am really hopeful for Kunal's redemption by accepting Kuhu's flaws & insecurites & supporting her when she decides to sail through them

pihu, I hated the ruffled, transparent shirts that Kuhu wore post leap, with mostly hideous skirts, this white combo being the only exception🤢

somehow I dont get the stylist's obsession with ruffles, even in the FL lead's case, whats with those extra flowy night gowns I mean will a simple, unfashionable mishti ever wear such ott night gowns😲

Phew!! I am so happy to see you!! I thought you had abandoned ship because you were hoping to get over this agonising but amazing couple during this break. Please inform us if you do get over, either we'll pull you back in or I'll get closure.

Also, did you know that someone nominated you and me for the member award category of besties 🙈.
