I know! It's frustrating. Well, I am happy with the change introduced in the last 2 episodes. I liked that Kuhu owned up to the error of her ways. Kunal- the less said the better.

hi dear, welcome back, we really missed you, happy to have you back

my replies or rather my pov are in bold

Hello doll! 🤗

Thank you for welcoming me back so warmly.

Mental health issues- I completely agree. I have given up on ITV portraying mental health sensitively and properly. Your comment made me think though that I can ignore it because I can educate myself from better sources but every viewer is not that way. There may be those whose introduction to PTSD is through the show; they will end up getting the wrong information.

Regarding Kuhu's behaviour, I agree that she didn't know what was up with Mishti and I can understand her being annoyed but IMO, she took it too far. Rather, the writers did. While she did say, "ab mujhe lagta hai ki wo seriously zyada hi bimaar hai," she didn't follow it up with any actions that showed her concern. Her behaviour didn't change. In the past, Kuhu has always softened when she notices Mishti in trouble, so I was taken aback by her lack of concern. As for KuhuNal, so disappointed with Kunal's behaviour. Just poor👎🏼

Hello, I am Priya, I have been silent member for long time just now active in the forum. I loved all KuKu AT members discussions. Regarding Kunal behavior, its very disappointing. Even today, he didn't even let her speak and only believing her after Mishti response while questioning Ketki. I am not seeing any love atleast little respect from his side. Also Kuhu never questioned his behavior which is strange to me.

Welcome to the forum, Priya!

It's nice to know that people used to like our discussions!

KuhuNal are disappointing me on so many levels, it's not even funny! If I had been watching the episodes instead of the clips on IG, I would have stopped watching.

Welcome Priya! Hit the nail right on the head.

@bold- I just said the same thing in another thread.

Since the focus is on another issue, I doubt Kuhu will say anything because she anyway feels guilty about her behaviour. Understandably, she is focused on supporting Mishti right now.

The writers need to pick up the slack. Maybe things will improve after the Varun storyline ends.

I'm sorry you felt I was taking a dig at Kuhu.

Honestly I wasn't.

I simply felt it was cute n funny to see her (and the whole RV family) 'have fun' acting like they 'hate' mishti.😊

We've always known how Kuhu likes teasing, taunting and pulling Mish's leg for her style, personality etc. She herself has often admitted, she enjoys annoying Mishti and 'bitching about her' - that's a very usual sibling kind of vibe😛. Frankly I miss that light-hearted 'sibiling' wala bickering she would do with Mishti, her arguments and digs at Mish used have that fun element. But sadly the writers took it too far with her insecurity and jealousy, I'm also disappointed with how the writers have twisted and destroyed her character after Kuku second marriage.

Once again I did not intend to mean any offence.

p.s yes I saw this post on twitter too but I couldn't link it here (problems with phone)

since I know that you copied from twitter, so by 'they' I meant the 'kuhu hateclub' from twitter

havent seen the episode yet so cant comment if the scene was actually funny

to spice up the drama kuhu's character is often butchered & made to do extreme things & seeing the viewers involvement in mishku equation(the discussions on this forum on the mishku topics & most of the thread ending up being closed or reported, clearly indicates mishku bond's popularity) they seem to have kept them as a back-up, whenever they run out of the ideas, they can utilise this plot

instead of addressing their insecurities & issues with each other & resolving the conflict

Once again I did not intend to mean any offence.

Hi everyone!

Since this is the dedicated space for Kuhu, thought I would express my thoughts on the trajectory of Kuhu's character. Honestly, I am very disappointed with the way her character is being handled by the CVs. Her hatred for Mishti has become the foundation of her character. It's hard to watch her being this bitter. Earlier, there was a reason why she felt the way she did, because someone would inadvertently ignore her for Mishti. Now, her behaviour towards Mishti just comes across as thoughtless and harsh.

KuShti had a love-hate relationship where their tussles were interspersed with moments like Kuhu baking a cake for Mishti but now...😔 It makes me even more dissatisfied because everyone can see how Mishti is acting out of character but Kuhu is not questioning if something is seriously wrong nor is she worried about her. Considering she grew up with her, Kuhu has been with her the most and her being so unconcerned just doesn't sit right with me.💔

Tired of this Kuhu vs Mishti storyline, especially when it is this nasty.

Hi

I completely agree with you about Kuhu's character graph.

I too am very disappointed with how the writers have twisted it out of proportion and taken her honest emotions - insecurity and jealousy and pushed it so far to just pure anger and hatred. Especially when we saw the progress in Kuhu's character post-leap (during mishbir's break-up); I was looking forward to her character progress - because she had learned to build her self-respect by being an independent entrepreneur. She was not taking any bul*shi* from Kunal and his indifference behaviour, and giving it back to him equally. That's why I was really dissatisifed when she instantly fell into Kunal's proposal to cancel the divorce within a matter of minutes. She endured a whole lot of pain and (for lack better word) crap from Kunal after being trapped/fooled into their marriage. She truly did/still does care for Kunal, she stood by him during his tough times (when he was fighting with Abir about Mish, and feeling confused about his identity as rajvansh). Kunal had to earn that respect and love back from Kuhu, not just cajole her with 2 min 'flirt' and 'romance'. It frankly didn't work for me.

In regards to the current track, I understood how Kuhu must have felt about Mishti being away for so many months, leaving the house to Kuhu to handle (although that's what Kuhu always wanted, she finally felt what it would be like to be without Mishti, yet still wasn't happy). With Kunal away as well, she must have definitely felt quite alone, without help and love from people of her age (Abir, Mish, Kunal). So I get it, that she was miffed with Mishti. But like you said @bold I totally agree with you. Given Mishti had panic attacks during her childhood, Kuhu should have been much more quick to recognise that Mishti was not acting to be sick. And even when she started to feel something was truly off, she didn't approach it in a delicate way, but rather chose anonymous dhamki lettersThat was really non-sister like (poor writing). Although they never thought of each other like real sisters, somewhere deep down they do care about one another, that's why it was important for Kuhu to understand and comfort Mishti - which we are getting to see the last 2 episodes👍🏼 It makes much more sense, as a sister, as a girl, she completely understands Mishti's feelings after learning the truth.

I'm yet to form an opinion about Kuhu-Kunal situation now; due to the new actor entry. And it looks like they are giving time for the actor to ease into the character, hence making his behaviour very indecisive and forming a new track/story. I just hope it allows their characters to actually get to know each other properly, because frankly I don't think they understand one another enough to be a married couple. They never really got the time.

sorry for the long post. Just thought I'll share my views with you

She was not taking any bul*shi* from Kunal and his indifference behaviour, and giving it back to him equally.

when Kuhu accepts or loves someones she loves them wholeheartedly, the person doesnt have to prove themselves worthy of her affections over & over again, so in a way her love is sort of unconditional

kuhu only started giving back to Kunal when he crossed a certain limit & because she was trying to detach herself from him, please note that they clearly showed that she mostly just ignored him or said 'sorry' & moved away from the scene, eg.:-

- the scene after Neha's roka/sagai in kuku room where kunal himself says 'pehle iski taraf dekhta bhi tha toh world war ki taiyaari kar leti thi par ab jawab tak nahi deti'

- the scene at offsite where Kunal feeds her the walnut chocolate, just before that when kunal tries to speak to kuhu she just says 'I am sorry, main aaj ke liye bhi sorry hun, kal ke liye bhi, parso ke liye bhi...'

so she always tried to avoid any interaction with Kunal as much as possible, even if it meant her just apologising to him without any fault of hers & leave from the place/scene

That's why I was really dissatisifed when she instantly fell into Kunal's proposal to cancel the divorce within a matter of minutes. She endured a whole lot of pain and (for lack better word) crap from Kunal after being trapped/fooled into their marriage. She truly did/still does care for Kunal, she stood by him during his tough times (when he was fighting with Abir about Mish, and feeling confused about his identity as rajvansh). Kunal had to earn that respect and love back from Kuhu, not just cajole her with 2 min 'flirt' and 'romance'. It frankly didn't work for me.

kuhu knows that kunal loves her, infact kunal has always loved her

- the scene in the initial episodes after holi when kuku bump into each other at night & kuhu gives him that advice, 'past mein jo hota hai hum usko bahut seriously lete hai...'

- he recalls those words & Abir's words when Meenu asks him for his rishta with Maheshwari's daughter

- when Meenu swaps the rishta, the dejected/helpless look he gave to kuhu

all these are enough evidence that he was intrigued by kuhu & was looking forward to his rishta with her

infact even after Mishti breaks her GD with Kunal, he so easily & so fast becomes friends with Kuhu, the Kunal who is so bothered by family ki izzat, Meenu ki marzi is going out with Kuhu clearly indicates that he sort of liked her

so the point is that kunal had feelings for kuhu but being the meenu ka munna he never had the courage to act on those feelings (even after the leap, where its more evident) & he always does whats best for his family/Meenu

and kuhu knew this, kunal never expressed his feelings for her because he avoids making promises which he cant keep because he knows if he has to choose between his family & kuhu, he will always choose his family

and Kunal only expresses when there is some external trigger, eg.:

- during bachelor party when he is drunk, he confesses 'agar Mishti nahi hoti toh hamari kahani kuchh aur ho sakti thi'

- during the navratri track, after his fight with abir, when he is broken he confesses 'maine tumhe chhod kar unko choose kiya'

so even in their 1st marraige there is enough evidence for kuhu to believe that kunal atleast likes (if not love) her

even during & after their 2nd wedding:

- just before the baraat when Abir asks him, 'tune kuhu ko I love you bola toh usne kaise react kiya', and Abir realises that Kunal hasnt proposed her yet, kunal says, 'itna kuchh ho gaya wo khud hi samajh gayi hogi'

- during the #worstproposalever scene, kunal said 'mujhe yakeen nahi hota main kisi ko itna like kar sakta hun'

- he only takes her away & gives this long speech only when he senses that kuhu is sort of insecure because she tells him, 'humne baat toh ki hi nahi', 'seedha divorce se shaadi ho gayi', 'tum sure ho na tum yahi chahte the'

so kuhu was even perfectly fine with him using the word 'like' not 'love' (even after their 2nd wedding) because kuhu knows that because of his past relationships Kunal avoids using words like 'love' & kuhu is not sensitive but understanding enough that just because he isnt using the word 'love' doesnt mean he doesnt love her

though I am not sure where they are taking this kunal2.0 but as far as kunal1.0 or rather kuku is concerned, these 2 have a very deep & understanding bond

infact she was almost sure that kunal will not divorce her

- when she leaves RJV house giving Kunal the calender & Kunal says 'tum sach mein mujhse divorce le rahi ho, & she replies 'iske siwa tum mujhe de bhi kya sakte ho'

and once her anger sort of cools down next day she messages him 'mujhse abhi aakar milo varna main samjhungi tum direct court mein miloge'

she knew that marriage is a big deal for kunal too & thats why she wanted to try one last time before going to the court

and kunal comes during mishbir haldi, so she says 'ab sab theek ho jayega'

but as soon as the truth was out by Mishti, her insecurities resurfaced

- the scene where Meenu asks Kuhu to not divorce Kunal on terrace, Kuhu clearly says that she doesnt want to leave RJV house but she doesnt even want to be in the same house as Mishti

so it was clear that she was ready to sacrifice her love & a bright future with Kunal because she didnt want to be living with Mishti, because she fears that it would be a repeat telecast of her bachpan or her life at Maheshwaris since Mishti arrived

In regards to the current track, I understood how Kuhu must have felt about Mishti being away for so many months, leaving the house to Kuhu to handle (although that's what Kuhu always wanted, she finally felt what it would be like to be without Mishti, yet still wasn't happy).

because her bro, Abir was also not around & was with Mishti, and since they didnt tell her about what happened & were stuck in the lockdown in a lavish resort, so its quite normal to conclude that they are happily enjoying their time together i.e. having a honeymoon when she was handling the family & her husband was stuck abroad in office work & given the workaholic nature of Kunal its not difficult to assume that he would be working round the clock

this is a clear trigger for her jealousy with Mishti enjoying her honeymoon & she is handling the house

and another trigger her insecurity that Mishti has taken away Abir, just like in her childhood when BP-BM had to focus on Mishti so Kuhu missed her daadi-daadu

With Kunal away as well, she must have definitely felt quite alone, without help and love from people of her age (Abir, Mish, Kunal). So I get it, that she was miffed with Mishti. But like you said @bold I totally agree with you. Given Mishti had panic attacks during her childhood, Kuhu should have been much more quick to recognise that Mishti was not acting to be sick. And even when she started to feel something was truly off, she didn't approach it in a delicate way, but rather chose anonymous dhamki lettersThat was really non-sister like (poor writing).

most of the times Mishti just ran away from the scene so Kuhu didnt actually get to see Mishti having a panic attack

also these attacks & the symptoms can be different for different age groups, the panic attack that a child has and an adult has can be different

she did try asking Mishti but Mishti didnt tell her

infact she tried to evoke a reaction from Mishti too

- the scene where she spies on Mishti at ngo & then in kitchen she tries to confront her with the numbers she has found before Jugnu comes & takes Mishti away

Although they never thought of each other like real sisters, somewhere deep down they do care about one another, that's why it was important for Kuhu to understand and comfort Mishti - which we are getting to see the last 2 episodes👍🏼 It makes much more sense, as a sister, as a girl, she completely understands Mishti's feelings after learning the truth.

I just hope it allows their characters to actually get to know each other properly, because frankly I don't think they understand one another enough to be a married couple. They never really got the time.

sorry for the long post. Just thought I'll share my views with you

though we have had hundreds of discussion about kuhu/kuku already & tried to understand their motivations/povs in previous kuku ATs, still tried to answer in the most concise manner possible to the popular doubts about kuhu & tried to share my understanding from those discussions

hope it helps you in understanding the motivations/pov of kuhu
