2. The writers and directors constantly showing Abhi two timing and his abject infidelity is grating on my nerves☢️. Are we supposed to be happy at how he is fulfilling his responsibilities towards the wife and the " hone wali"? Reminds me of those movies of the late 80's/early 90's guys when the woman was constantly told that " why do you care about the other woman? He is fulfilling all of his responsibilities towards you" and the final justice is that both women are asked to live in harmony with the guy and " share the guy". Guys, this is 2017, NO SUCH infidelity is acceptable to us😡.[/DIV]

I hated how he was rubbing cheek to cheek with Pragya and then running after the🤬to make sure she is not angry that he is rubbing cheek to cheek with Pragya. It seems like he knew this was not right from him asking the witch if she is angry because of his acts😡. So he thinks he can do anything in the name of Holi " Holi hain". If he is compelled to do those things with Pragya, why doesn't he question himself / admit to himself what he wants? He doesn't know what he feels but wants to know how Pragya feels about him😕🤢

So far he is not conflicted with what he is doing, he has every intention of marrying the 🤬I want him to ask himself " why he is doing the things he is doing with Pragya" not " I am marrying the witch, so it is wrong " and he will get his answer.

This whole sequence was reprehensible and repulsive for me😡

3. The whole daadi, dasi being happy that Abhi, Pragya getting closer and that Pragya is happy is unbearable. Do you guys define this as happiness, having your husband who has forgotten you, getting married to the🤬in a few days shows every intent of marrying her, while he is getting intimate with you and runs after the witch to explain his intimacy with you? This is insufferable to me😡

[/DIV]
[DIV]5. Useless bhaang sequence. I have zero interest in it after today's episode. Isn't that guy Ramu kaka, did he now become Bahadur? I guess Nikhil is in the crowd now.

I am grateful to the directors for not airing this episode on Friday. I would have been walking around as a ticking time bomb ready to explode all weekend long. This episode is like poison to my brain. I am dejected that I ever watched this episode, this is what happens when the heart overrules the brain, you have a heavy price to pay☢️

That is it from me. Sorry guys, if I came too strong. Thoroughly disappointed💔

I am a bit surprised, if I may say so. Much of the venting here on the episode has been legitimate if the episode's evaluated rationally and like many of you have pointed out elaborately. I am just pressed to wonder whether the show's fans never felt similar indiscrepancies all through the earlier episodes.

As I've mentioned earlier, I'm a newbie to the show who finished the first 700 episodes within a fortnight and it felt just as illogical at several points throughout, but what attracted me to the show were the quirks of the characters, the actors' pairing, their excellent acting, the writing/direction in bits and parts and Shabir ofcourse. That's exactly how I feel now as well. I continue to detest elements I hated in the earliest episodes as well, which I turn a blind eye to. The writing's still escapist, it's still ridiculous and illogical in parts and often very soapy.

Still, I see it knowing all of that. So, I'm wondering based on what's happened to me previously with shows I'd been a regular viewer of on a daily basis than a marathon basis like I did here, do you guys think you've reached a stage with regards to the show when your personal vision and expectations of the characters and circumstances have far outgrown the writing standards, limitations and TRP jugaads as always were? Do you sense a show fatigue? Seeing a show nearly every day of the year for nearly three years is no mean feat. The show's been a large part of your lives now and its characters your family! So, the way you react personally to characters is quite plausible as well.

As far as I'm concerned, I find myself empathizing with a guy who's lost his memory, whose family will not reveal his lost year to him for his own sake and who is torn between genuine care and attraction for a girl and a woman who he feels nothing for, but has to get hitched to for the sake of multiple reputations. To add to that, he is a celebrity with a lot of expectations upon him, a lot of odd and dangerous events happening around him with nobody really revealing their own readings to him and his best friend down and out now. I mean, I'd have gone crazy under these circumstances! But inspite of that, he still retains his cheekiness, the sight of his love still brings the glimmer to his eyes, he still feels terribly drawn to her and he still sorrows in private for those parts of the umpteen jigsaw puzzles he can't patch up. Nobody's really helping him either in these quarters either- they can't for medical reasons one supposes. So, I mean... it's all perspective. Things looks quite logical from where I stand. Take off our soapy lenses and hey, it's all insane nonsense.

I don't even know whether this post belongs to this thread since I'm an irregular member to IF, but still, I am just a bit taken aback at the reaction to an episode which I supposedly enjoyed and then come around here and find many venting on the same. I'd reiterate that all their points are extremely valid, but as I said, from a third person point of view, it's nothing new vis-a-vis the show, or so I feel imho. My two cents.
