For context- think of Deepika Padukone and Irrfan from Piku- no one can say they are a sizzling couple and yet their understated romance/bonding in that movie gave a new way to imagine what a romantic relationship could look like. Further context- Arnav and Khushi of IPKKND had unparalleled sizzling chemistry, is an iconic rage really and yet, today, this is not a couple I would enjoy watching because of so many stereotypical elements in the ArShi bonding

Which is why I bought into the Anjol romance almost from the word go, because it just seemed like a very grounded partnership as opposed to passionate emotions flying all over the screen. Which is another reason I am annoyed with yesterday's episode because it feels like the writers were trying to shove sensuality to us out of nowhere. Again another writing issue- a sensual scene between them would have been far more believable at a much later stage of their relationship which we never seem to be reaching thanks to the overly stretched MUs. I also think this has lesser to do with Karan or Ishita's equation and more with the writing- because they have also displayed remarkable chemistry in a manner that is true to their characters (think Durgo pujo chok shuddan scene, or all the awkward car conversations, which had more originality).

But this is completely a personal preference that I am stating- I understand TRPs and fangirls may not always want this. I wholly love the Anjol chemistry and find nothing lacking except for the nonsense they are now doing with the overstretched MUs and the TRP damage control mode that CVs have gotten into

I don’t think either me or arivarshi mean “sizzle” in the context you are thinking. But of course I can’t speak for her.

For me sizzle is organic chemistry that flows naturally without awkwardness and does not seem forced. So taking the example you gave, for me Ifran and Deepika had the sizzle not because their chemistry was like that of Arnav and Khushi, but because it seemed natural and flowed in an easy organic way. And in any case, physical intimacy does not mean sizzling chemistry for me at least.

But I do agree that the writing of this show has been faulty. They have ample time to spend on the vamps but rush through the leads scenes thus loosing all impact.

Ah I see, thanks for clarifying. I think I was referring to @arivarshi mentioning the sizzle factor coming in later for their relationship, which I took to mean in the context you were not referring to.

Anyway, in terms of being organic- would probably disagree and say that I think Anjol are extremely organic, at least insofar as they are staying true to their characters in the relationship and not relying on ITV tropes. I love their bonding, so much so that I am ready to put up with the rest of the rubbish this show has been for a long time and watch every new epi just for them xD

I hope the Cvs don't see this lol they are complacent enough with the rest of the story as it is

Bold: Yes I agree and I really don't care about the sizzle but if you are trying to show sizzling chemistry then it should actually exist, here I think it is more about sweetness and exploring each other with shyness. And I agree not every relationship is about the sizzle or sparks flying. And IPKKND though my second favourite show after Beintehaa I always found Arnav a little toxic and Khusi a majboor doormat who had spirit but was somehow crushed because of Arnav's economic might. Their chemistry was awesome and Arnav changed post MUs cleared. And that is my problem here I never saw Anjol as a spark flying hot couple but a mature couple whose relationship is based on love kindness and respect. A simple hug or holding of hands was more their type.

Italics: Yes they were both simple people with responsibilities which brought them together and their mutual respect made them fall in love. But everything happened in the show feels unconnected. Even the dream Kajol had was so out of place. Her fantasy was so out of place that dark road and this almost kiss. I liked Anurag's NGo dream better because it was dancing and singing.

With sizzle I mean a simple spark that is in a look not sexual tension but the edge of attraction. The world doesn't exist but the other the focus becomes the other, there are many ITV couples who show that well. It could also be a slow burn.

Finally colors have updated the precap scene earlier than usual..

Read some good comments on every media channel that promote the show esp today's precap and for anjol..

I speak French and even read comment in French for anjol..Its good to see overseas people appreciating anjol but sadly the channel or creatives not getting the audiences demand ..Focus on anjol and blend their journey with other subplot..

I will say thank you to creatives to keep the true aspects of anjol characterisation while executing this rain scene..

Anurag in his caring mode avatar and kajol a little caring plus angry mode avatar..

One thing I liked about this scene and anjol its not the cliché type meaning rain so there should be spark and sizzle chemistry etc..That was not even a romantic moment to go and look for spark flying everywhere as the deja vu type on ITV .

The beauty of anjol lovestory for me is their unspoken words and their eyes speak a lot ..the respect ..the care ..the awkwardness. the little shyness..

There will be their romantic scenes coming up and I hope creatives continue to keep the beauty of this couple...A subtle romance and strong in emotions as per their characterisation..

New episode Anjol MU continues, Stalker Woman manipulates the situation to her advantage. Anurag turns drunkard. Party BTS we saw finally happens. Kajol is heartbroken. Yaar these writers are 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 words better not be said.

These shitty makers are soooo fuc****absurd 🤬🤬🤬

I just cannot with these ppl anymore. The sword of Damocles is hanging above their damn heads and they still come up with this kind of shit.

Does Anurag turn into drunkard in his own party or somewhere else ?? 😡😡

Please dont tell me tht this bitch Priyanka takes advantage of Anurag while he is drunk, by accusing him to have slept with her like in other tv shows otherwise I might curse these damn makers to destruction only 😡😡😡😡

And dont tell me he danced with tht bitch and the pics we saw was a dream ???

So basically if the dance happens now than the other OL video shit abt MU clearing will happen afterwards.....the blast crap ??

Both are pathetic....and maybe its better if they both go their seperate ways....

Anurag is such a piece of crap also and Kajol....I better not say anything 😡😡😡

If outsiders keep manipulating both these idiots all the time.....there is no use to be in a relationship....

Sorry to be a spoilsport but I really hope this show goes off air now 🤬🤬

For the life of me, I cannot understand what Kajol is doing. Today she was overdoing it - "na ka matlab na hota hai.... " as if Anurag was attempting to molest her? seriously??!! 😕

I’m going to take a leaf out of Wynn’s book and enjoy whatever is left

Did we watch TSBTSP in the latest epi or Mean Girls 3 hahahahaha what a high school episode that none of us signed up for

Oh wait no, they lowered the age bar from high school also. buffoon entered the party with magic tricks, this is officially a McDonald’s kids party mashup with high school prom. Next episode they’ll crown Anurag the high school jerk, sorry jock, as prom king
