One thing I don't get is are the Anjolians only Anurag fans where the hero worship is only for the that weakling Anurag because I right now feel he is a weakling. They refuse to believe that Anurag will marry Priyanka, hello ITV anything can happen. Priyanka most probably may get a redemption because the Production House loves her. If you saw that BTS dance with Ishita, Ishita is so natural and this one she is trying to outdo her you can see and she seems too OTT.

The problem with all the tweets and insta post by fans seem to be that they seem to be done by Anurag fans only, who would love a whitewash of his weakness as they have already deified him. On the on other hand it becomes so easy to blame Kajol. Kajol is being Mahanta ki Devi and Kajol is weak and Kajol needs to be stronger but what about Anurag?

Is he really being a hero, he he runs away then meets her and takes advantage of her,not physical advantage but emotional advantage. She loves him and he knows she won't move on and he wanted those moments and gave her that ring meaning even though he did not say it, live the rest of your life with my memory. If he was really sacrificing himself he would have freed her and asked her to move on like Kajol did. He took emotional advantage of her and is using her by breaking her heart at the same time keeping her love for him alive. He has lost all respect that his character had at first engendered.

Priyanka's reasoning to Sharmila seemed funny what she talked about heart transplant and stuff, I couldn't stop laughing. I liked Sharmila's dialogue but that's it. The Chatterjee scenes seem like a caricature of an old school zamindar family from a village living in a city garbed in modern clothes but mind sitting in the last to last century.

Agree with each and every word. But one thing I have learnt is never to argue with fangirls Arivarshi. They have no connection with logic and also they are mostly at a very tender age where fantasies prevail over sense. So it’s better to not engage. It’s a waste of time to explain anything to them. Also Anjolians Insta fandom are one of the dumbest I have ever come across. For now I am done with this show. Just hanging on till it ends for Ishita. That’s it.

There is no reason left for me to care anymore.

1. Terrible storytelling.

2. Slow narrative.

3. Can’t stand either Noina or Priyanka. Both also can’t act sorry and are unnecessarily shoved down our throats.

4. On top of that Ishita having fallen sick twice now. She posted a story today and she seems to have lost so much weight in just one week. This show just has not proved good for her in any respect. And her absence in turn means doom for the show. So why should I watch.

5. The ML’s weirdness around Ishita. He only seems comfortable around people less famous than him or who give him attention and I find that weird. I don’t like that he now tags Ishita only to please/pacify jodi fans. It’s neither organic nor genuine. And that Preeti’s attention seeking and desperate behaviour to hog the limelight. Whenever, there is an Anjol scene or dance, she makes sure she pulls a stunt to attract attention. She fails but still the show is just unpleasant both off and on screen at the moment.

I haven’t watched today’s episode and don’t plan to watch any this week. I am done till Ishita returns at least. Hoping this show ends soon so that she can move on to better projects and hopefully better co-stars like she had in BPP. She thrived there. She was so happy. Here you can feel that she is also not feeling the same. She is a thorough professional and indulges a few (not all) of her non-deserving co-actors by promoting them on her Insta page but as someone who has followed her for so long, I can feel the spark missing in her eyes.

P.S. Are you a fan of Pakistani dramas? Give “Mere Humsafar” a try. Hamza and Haala seem to have amazing chemistry from the promos. Two episodes have aired so far.

Today's epi highlights..Anurag, kajol convo..

Anurag saying that one night is his truth whereas kajol thinks its their fate and destiny..

Anurag spoken words constantly coming back in her thoughts ..Hopefully kajol listens to her heart and don't let go easily of her love to Priyanka..

The contrast of Anurag /kajol imagination scene to Priyanka..

Who would have thought Anurag will be so much in love one day..His life revolves around kajol now..Her absence makes him incomplete and very emotional. I must say Kajol brings that balance in his life..visualizing Kajol and we can see , how she brings that calmness and peace on his face..

On the other side with Priyanka it was good to see the fiery Anurag back.. It was a much needed reality check for her. Anurag poured his every emotions ,he feels about kajol to her..It was heartouching as his every breath,his every beat of his heart is for Kajol..

Such intense deep feelings hoping no harm happens to kajol else he wiil be completely shattered..

Anurag telling Priyanka on her face how he disgusts her and hatred so visible still not getting some senses..

If Priyanka still have some self esteem left in her, she should ponder about pishima's talks to her.. let go of that obsession of Anurag..

It's to wait and watch if it's going to be redemption for Priyanka or she gets more crazy to even harm in future episodes.

I'm still figuring how this apu/bulti plot has surfaced out of the blue in the storyline. What connection will it have with anjol?

As creatives can't keep them not sharing same screenspace for long so may be this wedding will bring them in same frame..

Regarding Naina who needs a stranger as an enemy when there is one in the family.

For her own selfish agenda ,she will not hesitate to ruin the reputation of her own family..she is using apu to bring the love back In hers and arjun relationship..

Shreya will surely backfire her plan and I can see her playing the victim drama later ..Her second option as apu will marry bulti ,will be give arjun money for his business.I hope naina does not put her father's printing press at stake ..

Let's see where all this will lead to as build up for bulti to elope and marry is already in process.

Loopholes always there in ITV shows and here I'm wondering where has gone the car as dowry for arjun?

Yes I love Pakistani dramas my favourite being Koi Chand Rakh or anything with Muneeb Butt in it. I will certainly watch. I find most Pakistani dramas much superior to current ITV anyway.

You like Pakistani dramas too ??

Maybe you can watch : Meer Abru ( losely based on Kahin Toh Hoga ) / Yakeen Ka Safar/ Ishq Tamasha

I personally still love these ones...they are my favourites and I can keep re-watching them numerous times

So my very first guess was rite since I saw the Insta story with havan kundh at the Mukherjees tht Bulti will elope to marry Opu....

Well well well....what can I say

Noina wants to bring back Arjuns love for her ?? Yep rite !!! She will get the shock of her life when he tells her tht he never loved her in the 1st place, but married her to take revenge from Kajol 😂😂😂

What revenge is another joke of the year 2021 / 2022.

Instead Arjun sits with another musibat on his head called Noina. And yes this girl will stoop to any low to get what she wants....

I dont want to comment anything on Anurag, becoz my words might come across as too harsh or even insulting.

This trio : Anurag / Kajol / Priyanka are the biggest joke of this show at the moment.

Circus Galore and I dont even know who is the ringmaster anymore....

One is supposed to feel sorry or sympathy for Anurag....sorry all I feel is anger and disgust....

Since this guy has fallen in love, it seems like he left his damn brains in the garbage bag...

Even I am wondering why Opu / Bulti marriage is happening out of the blue. They never got footage before and out of nowhere they hv started their track. The events in this show are like jumping from one thing to another without finishing the 1st one....all the tracks are all over the place.

Another shaadi track with lots of Tamasha and than we hv the 4th one with guaranteed TAMASHA....

No wedding in this show can happen peacefully !! Looks like the writers can only create drama in these weddings, otherwise all their tracks suck big time 😏😏

Loopholes always there in ITV shows and here I'm wondering where has gone the car as dowry for arjun?

@Savee the Opu/Bulti track has come out of nowhere...I wonder if it was because extension was given to show, its incongruous because the lead pair can't even get their act together and yet a pair of college age kids are going to marry - showing the lead pair how to fight for their love against all odds.

Of course Shreya will aid Bulti because she wants to foil Nania who is prepared to sacrifice her family time & time again

I also find it odd; Opu has never once stood up to injustices done to Kajol when she was in the house by Nania or Chandana; just stood there like a mute spectator...now they have this BS track & honestly he is going to support a wife when he can't support himself..this is is pure comedy just as the Priyanka / Anurag / Kajol track is as dark comedy

Good to see old Anurag back...now we need more of that fire to stand up.to Priyanka..

He cannot be so blinded by Priyanka's threats that he would roll over. Where has brains gone...just because he is in love as is Kajol does it mean all good sense goes out of the window.

Well Priyanka is left in no doubt as to where she stands with him now & later & the good thing is that Sharmilla knows...cue more Maa Durga & falling flowers tracks but yes if Chandana/ Sharmilla & Pishima can get together that would be great - perhaps at Opu/Bulti wedding Anurag will get so drunk he will reveal all to everyone.

As to everything else all I can say is if I dont like the tracks I can choose not to watch which I wont do as this is fictional story anyway and as I say if I dont like the way a track is going I rewrite it in my mind. Of course the writers may show anything and everything even if viewers want something else and that is production house prerogative.

I think I might write an OS or TS ...it can't be any worse than what is currently on offer...but the romantic in me still keeps a little flame alight that all will work out in the end 😃😃😃

@Wynn..I second your thought here and yeah was thinking same there must be a purpose of this plot coming up..

Agree these two will kind of teach the leads how to fight for their love against all odds..

I went through written update and I must say Apu has guts as he confronts the chatterjee's in their own house..

Definitely needs more of this Anurag ..Might be this apu/bulti lovestory will bring some senses in the lead pairs..

pishima talks ,with Anurag saying it loud and clear about his disgust for her may be will put priyanka at a crossroad ..

Anyways never know with her obsession. Either it's redemption or she stoops more lower..

So true it's a fictional show and it's for entertainment ... Even if I don't like a track that won't stop me watching it as it's just reel and for sure not letting a show having an impact on my real life...I also appreciate the actors acting skills and they work over 12 hours daily for us viewers to watch an episode..They are the director's actors and they perform as per the script.. As you say rest is in the creatives hands and production house.They will take into consideration to certain extent audiences views but at the end its their money and business..

That will be nice to read an OS and yes I'm positive too eventually all will be well for anjol.

Analysis update on 12/1 show, actually good to see drama of another kind concentrating on Chaterjee family - yes as much as I am a romantic - there is the practical level headed side of me &.Chaterjee family are only looking out for their only daughter who has grown up in privileged rich family & I felt a sense of empathy when papa Chatrjee was silently voicing out his thoughts...yes in most alliances families are always looking for a good match for their offspring and wealth marries into wealth.... I like young love, spring love, innocent love and let's date college love....but reality hits sooner or later😀😀 it will be up to this young couple to make things work for the duration of the remainder of show but I cant help feeling this track is so out if the blue that it bears no relation to main story or the Kajol/ Anurag story or Arjun/ Nania story

Arjun was good today.-''love is an illusion and I am repenting". Indeed you are Arjun and you can't very well reveal that it was your plan and your parents and aunt conspired with you to marry Nania for revenge against Kajol...wonder when that truth will come out?

Shreya.- of course is going to support Bulti not for her well being but for marking her rivalry with Nania...but oh she does it so well

If this track had indeed been shown at time of Arjun/Kajol's relationship it would have added value to show.

As to Kajol its ironic that she is shown supporting the relationship which is all well and good to support your sibling but is not fighting for her own relationship so perhaps this track is actually in a weird way to encourage the path of fighting for your love with Anurag/ Kajol.

.

@Wynn...Today I missed the early telecast because of other priorities and had to watch the evening one on colors USA..

Nice analysis of the epi and you said it all so aptly..

I too felt same about kaushik..A father's concern about his daughter who has been brought with all the privileges in life.

Logically thinking this should have been this way..Both families do agree about the relationship but conditions make a career first and secondly be financially independent..

In ITV no logic so kajol promising to unite them is not a surprise.

I so wish Apu/Bulti do make this relationship work as now they are kind of love struck but later they will have to face the reality..Bulti is used to live a luxurious life and will have to adjust in a new life style..

Arjun repenting it's too late and naina will make his life more complicated with her rivalry with Shreya..

I must say both daughter in laws of chatterjee's will make their life a hell..

Naina to achieve her goals and to keep her enmity with kajol will go to any extent..Shreya is oversmart but naina too is no less..

I just feel in the future as Apu wants to take over his father's business may get brainwash by naina and put the printing press at stake..

It looks like this plot is added to bring back the fighting spirit of the leads.

The storyline took a turn abruptly as Anurag/kajol lovestory was expected to start after the NGO as per promo ..Then chondona character took a 360 degree turn and kajol a punching bag in the process..

Now they have turned focus on anjol lovestory and with a never ending separation..

Lets see where this wedding track will lead and whether Priyanka get a redemption and reunite anjol or she stoop to next level..

I think this is first TV show where sub-stories from the main plot/leads is far better & interesting than that of that of protagonists!

However, it is so odd that out of nowhere opu-bulti's track has popped up. Those 2 seem a bit young to get married as well.

Mukherjee household is weird, looks like besides Kajol nobody works ( perhaps her uncle does. Everyone else just while away

Anurag-Kajol-Priyanka blackmail track is meaningless😕
