Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha - Woman turns up to confront Harish about affair

The serial is finally reaching a disclosure point. Adi has always been afraid of relationships because of the break between his parents, something which has caused him a lot of pain. Some weeks back, it was revealed that the reason that Avantika was so angry with Harish and broke up with him was because of his signature on an abortion request in a hospital many years back, something that Avantika saw. When Avantika asked Harish about this, he refused to say anything which reinforced her suspicion that Harish was having an affair. When this came up recently and Adi heard about this, he also confronted his father who also refused to provide him any more details; this made Adi so angry that he broke off his engagement.
After this, due to a problem at the marriage of Pankhuri, Adi steps in and gets married to Pankhuri. This causes some problems in both sets of families, but things are getting resolved to some extent. The attack on Pankhuri makes Avantika worried about Pankhuri, and she unbends enough to get more friendly with Pankhuri, telling Pankhuri that there is no reason for Pankhuri to be afraid of Avantika.
The joker in the whole pack is Mami, who is very angry over the fact that the family business is basically being run by Avantika, and her husband, the son of the house seems to have a secondary position. This is increased by the fact that Adi is involved in the business, seems to be running well, and recently Nanaji also stated that if Avantika and Harish are reconciled, he will gladly hand over the whole business to them. So Mami does some sleuthing, gets into the safe of Avantika, and gets the abortion document which has the signature of Harish.
Next, at the actual celebration of the 25th wedding anniversary of Harish and Avantika, Mami has arranged a surprise. She gets some lady (from Kullu) to come and harass Harish about being his love, about being the one who he was having an affair with, and finally makes the statement with the abortion document. Now, Avantika has already seen the abortion document, and hence this makes it somewhat believable, but this is when Preeti steps in and declares that the abortion was of her.

Hindi TV Serial - Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon - RK and Madhu now close together

For some time now, the show was showing the conflict between RK and Madhu (and her family). RK was shown as a supremely arrogant, having become a superstar within the period of 5 years of entering the film industry. At the same time, Madhu and her family are shown as a family with a different background. Madhu's father had left them and another man had taken the responsibility for all of them (Madhu and her mother and sister), and they highly respected them. However, there developed some amount of conflict between them and RK, and RK used power to subject them to harassment, subjecting Malick to a beating, putting Madhu's sister on a blackout in the film industry and then finally pushing Madhu to get married to him.
Madhu's presence in his house was a problem for Madhu. Dipali, who is married to RK's brother was earlier having an affair with him, and does not like the prospect of a wife in RK's life, especially when RK makes it clear that their affair does not exist any more and that he now has a wife. RK's mother, who he also does not talk to much, is also initially skeptical about Madhu and does not treat him well. This gets even more problematic when Mallick is proved to be the one behind multiple attacks on RK, but then RK does not file a complaint against him and gets him freed.
Over a period of time, Madhu realizes that she is now in love with RK, something which seems very strange to her because of their history and the forced marriage that has happened. She does not know whether RK feels anything like this, although she has the full support of his manager, Bitto ji. She takes more steps to get closer to him, and when the occasion of Karva Chauth happens, she undergoes the fast, although RK does tell her off since he does not believe in such rituals. At the same time, when she fell ill, he took a lot of care of her and even investigated as to how she feel ill.
Eventually Madhu does learn that RK is also in love with her, and she gets him to do a number of things. For example, there is some conflict in her family and RK pops in to her house to even out stuff, get them to realize that he is no longer an enemy and even releases the blacklist he had put on her sister's name. He also looks for a producer who would help in making a movie but without letting her know that RK is behind this. It is through this that he comes in contact with a weird man, who is also the long forgotten father of Madhu and her sister.

Hindi TV Serial - Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai - Naitik finally out of coma, his son very disturbed

For some time, the serial has been showing Naitik in a coma. Apparently, since the character playing Naitik had got married in real life, he needed some free time and so the serial was structured to show Naitik in a coma since that would not require much of screen appearance (else why would the actor playing Naitik agree to a role where he would be mostly in coma and not doing much acting); further Naitik was going to be also acting in the dance serial Nach Baliye. Finally, when it seems that Naitik will have more time on his hands, the serial is going to show him having more time on his hands.
For the time that Naitik was in coma, Akshara was shown as handling the responsibility, handling the jewellery business. As a result, her life was much more complex, since she would leave in the morning and come back in the evening. Her mother-in-law was handling the child, Duggu, and because of what had happened to Naitik, Gayathri was much more doting on the child. As a result of all this, Duggu was getting much more arrogant and spoilt, not listening to anybody and his grandmother was not going to listen to anybody complaining about her grandson.
Even when Akshara went to Duggu's school, her teacher told her the same thing, that he would spend the whole time playing football, not putting much effort in school preparation, and so on. During this time, Naitik started responding to treatment, and opened his eyes once. Soon after, Naitik finally regained consciousness, and although his muscles would have got much weaker, finally the presence of Duggu and his football in the room ensured that Naitik showed effort and got up from the bed.
However, Duggu was very apprehensive about this, since he had not seen his father in this state and had also been warned by other children. And then when he saw the attention that his father was getting from his grand-mother, he was also getting jealous. Now this is something that Naitik will have to manage.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha - 15 days are up, Pankhuri attacked

The serial is finally getting over the 15 day interval that was prescribed before Adi and Pankhuri could come together. During this time, there was some drama, including the fact that Mami was suspicious about why Nanaji was wanting to change his will (she was very suspicious that Nanaji wanted to write out Rubel from the will). So, Rubel and she decided to get the will out of his safe in the night (she had already got keys made for the same) and they took the will out, read it (and all it did was to add Pankhuri to the will). However, during this event, first Pankhuri and then Nanaji saw Rubel with the will, and he was very angry, asking Rubel about how Rubel managed to get inside his safe. Rubel was equally angry about his property now had Pankhuri also being added to the claimants, since she was an outsider. The net result was that Mami realized that Rubel is no longer in the good books of Nanaji, and it would be only Avantika who could ensure that things were fine for him now.
The next major event that turned things around was the attack on Pankhuri. When Pankhuri, Avantika and Nanaji were traveling to the court, some hoodlums tried to get involved. The idea was to ensure that at that time, Rubel would get involved along with some friends to save these, but this backfired. The hoodlums got provoked by the action of Pankhuri and Nanaji and attacked both of them, with Pankhuri getting injured badly enough to require hospitalization. This was a shocker, with the family badly shocked by this, and since they also had the details of the license and car which was involved, they are also working with the police to identify the people involved. Adi was shocked, else he would have remembered that Rubel had threatened Pankhuri since she was not willing to take the case back.
Now the preparations are on for the 25th wedding anniversary of Harish and Avantika, with everybody looking forward to this. In the meantime, Mami, using her power of the stolen keys, had got to know that the reason for the separation of Harish and Avantika was the abortion that Harish had gotten for somebody and is now figuring out the best point to make use of this information.

Hindi TV Serial - Ballika Vadhu - Marriage of Anandi and Shiv happens, his sister not at all happy

Ballika Vadhu seems to have been inspired by the other serial that focuses on values and tradition, 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kahlata Hain' and has been showing the traditions over a number of episodes. So, the marriage events that happen in the marriage of Shiv and Anandi have been shown in great detail, enough that I have forgotten when these series of episodes started. First the marriage, the house leaving of Anandi and her arrival in the new house with a number of episodes. However, not everything is fine. Even though the entire household of Shiv is welcoming, his sister Sanchi is not at all welcoming since she considers that her brother has married a rural behanji and not somebody hip. So, as a result, Sanchi acts very snide and does activities that causes her family great embarrassment.
When they are at her house, there Sanchi does a playact, where she takes up Anandi's past and causes her family to be very angry at her. They warn her that she better behave better, but Sanchi still continues on this same way. Her father takes her aside and warns her, her grand-father gives up in frustration. For example, when Anandi reaches Shiv's house, it is Sanchi who is supposed to welcome her to the house, but she takes her own time to come to the reception.
Things get more problematic at the function held at Shiv's house where Sanchi is getting frustrated and tells her friends about her frustrations, and when they don't seem to find any problems, she tells them about the history of Anandi. This is picked up by other ladies who over-hear Sanchi and have a lot of words with Shiv's family as they are shocked that Shiv married a divorcee, and then say that they will not attend the function and take part in the celebrations.
So, even though the rest of the family is very comfortable with the choice of Shiv, since they consider Anandi to be a very suitable daughter-in-law, and don't feel that Shiv made any sort of compromise, they do realize that they will face problems from time to time in terms of people pointing out that Shiv married a divorcee.

Hindi TV Serial - Devon Ke Dev Mahadev - The birth of Vinayak and how he got an elephant head

This week saw the story of Ganesh Ji, the god with the head of an elephant, who is also known by the name of Vinayak. Ganesh Ji is known as the god who is invoked when something new is about to be started, and is said to have a mouse as his mount. Out of the sons of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvathi (Karthikeyan and Ganesh), Ganesh Ji is the one who is more well known and prayed towards in North India while Karthikeyan (in the name of Murugan) is more known in the southern part of India and has more temples dedicated to him.
The sons of Lord Shiva came into this world with a purpose, with Karthikeyan coming into the world to defeat a demon who had created huge turmoil in the world and had also conquered heaven, driving Lord Indra out of his kingdom. Kathikeyan was born, and became a warrior who defeated the demon (although in the meantime, there was also the presence of Goddess Durga and Kali also shown, when Parvathi turned into these ferocious goddesses in order to defeat evil).
And then there came a time when Lord Shiva left Kailash for some time and this was a period of time when the world was slowly coming apart, a general sense of depression and anarchy was prevailing in the world. And so it was prophesied that it was a new child of Shiva and Parvathi that would make things better in this world, but Goddess Parvathi was not sure about. And then one day Parvathi created a model in the form of a boy and when she is resting, her powers lead to the actual creation of a young boy who is very powerful. He is named Vinayak.
However, Vinayak is arrogant and also very dedicated to his mother, and so when his mother is doing a prayer, she tells Vinayak to not let anybody inside. When Lord Shiva arrives there, Vinayak does not let him come inside, and a fight breaks out where Vinayak defeats Indra, Nandi and others. Lord Shiva arrives there  and warns Vinayak that he is being very arrogant, but Vinayak challenges him to a fight and then actually starts an attack. Finally Mahadev uses his trishul and beheaded Vinayak at the exact same instance that Parvathi arrives from inside, but she is unable to prevent this from happening.
She gets very angry and asks Shiva to restore Vinayak in exactly the same form (she first tried to restore him herself and then remembered that if Mahadev killed somebody, no one else could revive him). He refuses, and he also knows that he had been cursed by the sage Kashyap earlier when Mahadev had killed the sun god that Mahadev would also kill his son sometime. Parvathi takes on a massive form and threatens that she will kill the entire earth unless her son is restored, and Mahadev asks Nandi and Indra to get a replacement head, but from somebody or some animal that will volunteer for the same. Finally a head is taken from an elephant (one that had received a boon for the same earlier) and Parvathi calms down, and is very apologetic for what she had done.

Hindi TV Serial - Saathiya - Finally Ahem manages to escape, Gopi gives birth

For more than a week now, the serial has been showing a level of crime that was not seen in the serial earlier. The earlier problems caused by Urmila and Rashi was never at this level, this is a life and death situation that was depicted. The family had a partner called Aman for a plant in Bhuj, and then, as Gopi was getting closer to the delivery date, a major problem occurred. Ahem did not appear for a party where he was supposed to come directly, and after a couple of hours, everybody was very worried. When Aman was contacted, he was equally concerned and stated that he would use all his resources to find out what happened and take action appropriately. At the same time, he told the family members that there was no need to inform the police and that he had contacts with different sources including the police and Aman would take the required action. The family members went along with this.
And then Gopi went out to get any information on Ahem, in a very emotional state. She was soon out of contact from the rest of the family, and in her heavily pregnant condition, was roaming around the desert region, and in a twist, came into contact with a young camel who was seemingly separated from the rest of the family. And Jigar was also out searching for both Ahem and Gopi. And to make matters worse, Kokila became very ill, feeling the pangs of separation from Ahem and Gopi.
Then the family members finally went to the police station, led by the ill Kokila, in order to find out progress, and were very surprised to see that the police denied all knowledge, that the name of the inspector given by Aman was false, and that the police had no knowledge of Aman filing any kind of complaint. They soon put two and two together, and concluded that Aman would be the one behind the kidnapping of Ahem and got the people to investigate. In the meantime, Ahem was able to run away once, but was caught, and then managed to run away again. Aman had threatened Ahem that he would hurt Gopi if Ahem did not agree to sign the papers that Aman wanted Ahem to sign. Finally, when Ahem was able to run away, he was running away from the gang, towards the same bus in which Jigar and Gopi were traveling, and then in a quick climax, Jigar and Ahem were able to beat up the gang members and then Gopi gave birth over there.
One problem remains that Koki was in a critical condition, and it is expected that the news of the baby, Ahem and Gopi would be able to revive her.

Hindi TV Serial - Bade Acche Lagte Hain - Priya hands over Pihu to Ram instead of court case

Twists keep on turning up in the serial on a regular basis. Currently, the biggest issue was the custody case filed by Ram where he wants custody of Pihu. He was shocked when he got to know that Priya was alive, and even more so when he knew that he also had a daughter called Pihu, and that Priya had hidden this from him, and deprived him of the pleasure of seeing the birth of Pihu, her growing up, and so on. One cannot really fault him for this anger, especially since his main point is that Priya deprived him of the company of Pihu for 5 years, and he wants to do the same to Priya, and after 5 years where Pihu will stay with him, then they can have the discussion again.
For Priya, this whole approach is very difficult. First, she thought she was doing the right thing by staying away from Ram, and was shocked when she saw the anger in his eyes, and even though over a period of time that anger has reduced, it has now really gone away all that much. Ram is still determined to get the custody of Pihu and is willing to do whatever is required for the same. He gets angry with Rajat when he sees that Rajat is supporting Priya, and even breaks off the business partnership (of course, it gets even worse since he knows that Rajat is also in love with Priya).
At the same time, Priya is worried about the impact of such a case on Pihu, and after Ram was shot in the party, she is very concerned about whatever is happening and does not want any further problems to Ram. So, she takes a radical decision, and just before they head inside the court, she tells Ram that she does not want to have a court case for the custody, and hands over Pihu to Ram. Ram, and Vikram and Rajat who are also there are shocked and speechless, although Rajat does give Ram more advise after this has happened. Ram is of course very happy to get the company of Pihu and takes her home.

Hindi TV Serial - Parichay - Court order for Siddhi and Anands to stay with Kunal

The story sweeps round and round, seems like a circle. Basic problem: Other people manipulate the situation, Siddhi tries to solve everything on her own but she ends up being seen as the wrong person, criticized by everyone and is not able to (or does not want to) explain the situation properly. Kunal is shown as the guy who remains in love with Siddhi, but is impulsive and angry, and is persuaded that Siddhi is not really in love with him and has told her so many times (even when he has understood the problem she has faced, but when faced with a situation again, again he gets persuaded that she is telling him a lie). The last time such a thing happened when Siddhi was forced to marry Abhay, and as usual she did not try to tell Kunal the whole situation, and he understood the situation as he saw it.
Now, things are more critical. Siddhi is apparently married to Abhay, and Kunal wants custody of his other Anand (he has recently learned that the other Anand is also his son, while Abhay is hyper over wanting the custody of the child). Both the children have learnt that they are brothers, and they decide that they want to be with each other, and hence run away together. All of the grown ups go after them, but then the children are kidnapped. It is then that Vikram returns to the serial, since he is the one who finds them and brings them back.
In the custody case, it is the Anand living with Kunal who makes the final punches, claiming that he wants to live with his mother and father, and then is able to convince the court that Kunal had not really signed the divorce papers and hence the divorce has not happened. Kunal then wants a divorce, but the judge goes through the legal process, saying that Siddhi and Kunal must live together for 6 months before they can proceed with a divorce; the kids are over-joyed, while Abhay, Richa and Thakral are devastated. The judge also declared the marriage of Siddhi and Abhay as void, since her divorce has not happened.

Hindi TV Serial - Kya Hua Tera Vaada - The leap, and initial episode scared viewers about Bulbul

The leap happened in the serial after the death of Pradeep before the leap. In 2 episodes where the 2 serials, Kya Hua Tera Vaada and Bade Ache Lagte Hain were combined, the story of Anushka was shown to take a very dangerous end (and as the leap shows, the end has not yet happened). Two marriage stories came to an end in these episodes, where Pradeep was shot by Anushka (by mistake, since he wanted to shoot Mona and Pradeep came in front trying to save Mona) and finally dies in the hospital, so the lingering story between Pradeep and Mona was brought to an end. Also, the trauma of the tragic end of Pradeep in such a way also brought to an end the story of Mona and Vineet. Mona told him that this tragedy has forced her to think and that she wants to think about her children for now (although I do not agree, she is still a lady in her prime, and the serial should not have taken her in such a direction which showed her to be a conservative lady - she could have married Vineet of her own wish and had a happy married life).
So, now the leap has happened. Her children are now young adults, some working and some still studying. Her eldest daughter Bulbul carries off from before the leap where she came to the conclusion that it was Pradeep who decided to go to Anushka, and this is what eventually killed him, so she does not have the same affection for Pradeep after the leap. And apparently Anushka is also out of jail (which is strange, since she committed 3 murders, and there would be no reason for her to be out of jail in such a short time), and the promos show that she is out for revenge, the period of 10 years has not cooled her desire for revenge on Mona and her family.
Now, the serial starts by scaring the viewers about Bulbul. They show her getting ready for a night out at a bus shelter in the evening, in the way that they would portray a prostitute getting ready. And then she goes out with a guy who comes up in a car, and goes off to a hotel where he has booked a room. Malika notices this, and ever catty, decides to phone Mona to taunt her about her daughter. Mona reaches the hotel, and is shocked to see her daughter over there in a short dress. And in the next episode they show that everything is fine, Bulbul is a TV reporter out to do a expose. She saves Mona in the next episode where Mona has gone to meet a Government official about permissions for her restaurant and is about to get taken by the guy.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha - Aditya comes to take Pankhuri, she refuses, he gets angry

Some of what happens in the serial is a bit beyond the ordinary, more absurd than you would normally expect. So, for example, soon after a marriage happened that was a surprise to almost everybody else, the mother of the groom put forward a condition that anybody would have refused. For a newly married couple, if somebody puts a condition that they stay apart for 15 days without meeting each other, it can be very strange. However, in the serial, they all agree to this and Aditya and Pankhuri agree to stay apart for 15 days on the condition laid down by Avantika.
And Pankhuri has to stay in Avantika's house where there are a number of people ready to insult her and her family at any minute, with Avantika not scheming but not at all friendly; and Mama Mami along with Rubel scheming against Avantika, Aditya and Pankuri; and nobody seems to be knowing all this. So Mami keeps on doing something or the other, such as insulting Pankhuri's family in a bad way. Finally, there was a huge argument with Pankuri's Mamaji replying back in the same way.
Nanaji already knows that Mami and Mama are upto no good and finally tells Aditya about what happened in the house and tells him to get Pankhuri from the house, forget the condition, and setup a different house. That would be the only way for them to have a successful married life. However, when Aditya arrives there, Pankhuri, wanting to ensure that they keep to the agreement refuses to meet Adi and shuts the door on him. Aditya is very angry and goes away by saying that he will not only not speak to her for 15 days, but will not speak to her or meet her ever. This makes everybody very surprised about what Aditya just said, but he refuses to listen to anybody. In Harish's house, Harish scolds him that he is proving right what others are saying about them not being able to have a successful marriage.

Hindi TV Serial - Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai - A leap happened, and Naitik in coma

The serial has just gone through a time leap, a 4 year plus time leap. Before the time leap, Naitik was in hospital, struggling for his life. He and Akshara had an accident, and as a result of that accident, in the process of saving Akshara's life, he had suffered some major injuries and was hospitalized. Doctors finally reported that he had gone in a coma and was not able to recover from the coma.
And then the time leap was shown in the serial. They have moved 4 years into the future, all the characters are the same, except for 2 items. Duggu is now a young boy, going to school; and Akshara is now out of her sareer, wearing smart suits, and because of all the responsibility, she now has taken over the office along with Naitik's father and they do the office bit daily. The equations within the house has still not changed all that much, with her mother in law still believing that what she says and believes is the right thing to do. Every day, they show Akshara talking to Naitik, telling him whatever happens, and hoping that he would come out of the coma.
Because Akshara now goes to office, her mother-in-law takes more control of the house, including the bringing up of Duggu. She spoils Duggu rotten, to the extent that he now behaves like a spoilt child, not listening to what people are saying, not liking it when people scold him, and so on. To the extent that now his school teacher has just told Akshara that Naitik is now fighting with people in school, is not doing well at all, and does not listen to whatever is told to him in school. Akshara is very angry at whatever happens, but it is difficult for her since the once who is causing all this is her own mother-in-law. She is just hoping to make things better, and what could be better than Naitik coming up.

Hindi TV Serial - Bade Ache Lagte Hain - Ram shot while trying to save Priya

In 2 recent hour long episodes running on Sony TV, the serials Bade Ache Lagte Hain and Kya Hua Tera Vaada saw some changes in the storyline of the serial. However, this changeline was more in the case of Kya Hua Tera Vaada and less so for the case of Bade Ache Lagte Hain; since the person behind the transformation was Anushka Sarkar from Kya Hua Tera Vaada. In the case of Bade Acche Lagte Hain, the serial was also going through some drama, but not of the same scale. The shooting by Anushka was at a party thrown by Rajat and Vineet, and the need for the party was because Rajat's business partnership with Ram was getting broken.
The reason for the relationship getting broken was because Ram was getting more and more bothered about the relationship between Rajat and Priya. Even though Ram had always known that Priya had loved him truly, he was getting more and more bothered since he knew that Rajat was madly in love with Priya, and the fact that Rajat was helping Priya in the custody case (including discussions with the lawyer and the effort to ensure that Priya had a strong financial backing) embittered him towards Rajat. It got so bad that he started turning against Rajat, speaking badly to him, breaking his business relationship with Rajat. However, this did not change Rajat's support for Priya.
And then the shooting happened. Ram stepped in to try and prevent Anushka from firing her gun, and in the struggle he was shot (after which Pradeep was shot a bit later). He was rushed to hospital with Priya in the ambulance and was then treated until it was clear that he was out of danger. However, it seems that Ram will remain bitter, atleast in the promos where he speaks bitterly to Rajat, and it is not sure whether anything will change; one thing that will change is the relationship between Rajat and Priya, since Rajat admitted before everybody that he was madly in love with Priya.

Hindi TV Serial - Pradeep dies after being shot by Anushka, leap to happen (update: not yet dead, operation successful)

Over the past few weeks, the serial has been taking a strange shift. Viewers were earlier puzzling about what the story line will be when the 2 different stories move to their own track, the story of Mona with Vineet and Anushka with Pradeep. The marriages for both of them were planned, and since this is a story, both could be planned for the same time with the parents having to worry about which marriage they will attend.
And then things suddenly turn into a very different direction. The serial shows an old lover of Anushka turning up, and then they show her to become more and more negative (since earlier she was shown as scheming and arrogant, but now shown as somebody who has defrauded her earlier company and eventually as a murderer).
Due to a turn of events where she is being blackmailed by her previous lover (who is shown as claiming that he is still her husband since they never had a divorce), finally she snaps, and in the midst of a fight with him, kills him by accident by whacking him on the head with a hard vase. However, and this is where they show her to be even more negative, Pradeep walks in soon after and is accused of the murder, and yet Anushka is now shown as doing anything to get him off the murder charge, in fact, if he is convicted, nobody will accuse her.
It is Mona who takes charge of getting Pradeep proved innocent, and she works at trying to get evidence that will do this, and finally is able to get evidence, and yet Anushka finds out about this evidence and in fact kills the lady who provided this evidence to Mona (Anushka got into a scuffle and the gun went off killing the other lady). By this time Anushka has almost gone off her mental balance and decides to kill Mona and starts for the party where Mona has gone (Vineet is having a partnership with Rajat (from Bade Ache Lagte Hain) and they have a party to announce this). At this party, things get stranger. Anushka arrives with the gun, and tries to kill Mona after first shooting Ram who got into a scuffle with her, and then tries to kill Mona. However, Pradeep arrives first and stands in the way of the shot and is killed by her. Ram is in serious danger, but is then declared out of danger. Now as expected the show will take a leap and move to a future that is around 8-9 years.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha - Condition set by Avantika that Adi and Pankhuri stay apart for 15 days

The serial is showing a twist that not too many people who would have thought would have happened. Not telling Avantika about the marriage was a step that was always fraught with risk, since it was impossible to think that she would not find out in the end (especially with Pankhuri's family also involved); the only point being how long this relation would remain hidden, and whether Mama-mami would find out about this before Avantika and seek to make some benefit out of this. However, Avantika found about the marriage when Pankhuri's parents and other relatives came there to see Pankhuri and how she was faring in her new home (they were not particularly pleased with the marriage because of what had happened earlier).
When Avantika found out, she did a lot of question and answer about the marriage, calling Adi there and asking him about the circumstances of the marriage. The initial fear was that Adi would have got married without his permission, having been pushed into the marriage, but Adi denied all this and stated that the marriage happened because he jumped into the gap when Shivam was stepping back. Avantika also expressed the worry that this was a marriage between 2 very different people and hence it would not last much and she did not want Adi to go through the same pain as she went through.
As a result, she set the condition that she wanted both of these to stay separately for 15-20 days right in the beginning, something that no one was really happy about. Harish managed to get the condition slightly modified so that Pankhuri would stay with Avantika while Adi would stay with Harish. There was some strain between Aditya and her parents, but that reduced when Ambika suffered an injury and Adi took some quick action to help her. However,  the biggest issue right now is that both of them are somewhat unsure of their relationship and love with each other, they consider each other to be a very big friend of the other, but does this extend to a husband and wife relation. Maybe it does, but they are not able to express this to each other. And then there is the cousin, Ruben, who is the son of Mama-Mami who got into a tiff with Pankhuri over a local accident and had to spend some time at the police station and who considers all the property and business to something that he has full rights over.

Hindi TV Serial - Punar Vivaah - Yash puts Aarti's photos on the wall, but ..

In numerous Hindi TV Serials, it has been shown time and time again that relations between a husband and wife is based on truth, and when things are hidden, it can very quickly get problematic. Most of the time what happens is that they show the good wife hiding something from the husband, but not with bad intentions. It could be something that could hurt him, or it was something that she was doing in his favor, or it concerned something in her past that was not told to her husband but there were no other problems as such. It was the same thing in the current serial. When the marriage happened, Yash's family was told that Aarti was married before and was a widow, hiding the fact that her ex-husband was alive (and that she was a divorcee, not a widow). Yash's family wanted a widow for Yash (who was also a widower, not a divorcee) and this was a fact that was hidden from his family. Aarti was very troubled by this fact that the truth was not known to Yash and felt that this could cause problems, even more so when Prashanth came into the picture and even came into Yash's life as a friend.
Over a period of time, Yash had made it clear to Aarti that he was still deeply in love with his ex-wife and that she could never take this position. Aarti was by now deeply in love with Yash but had become reconciled to the fact that her position would always be second, even though Yash was a perfect father to her son, not having a different position from his own daughters. However, one day she suddenly saw a change. The day before Yash had put photos with Aarti on the wall, and she did not see these photos when she went in to the room and lay down, this was a big disappointment to Yash; the next day when Aarti got up, she saw all these photos on the wall and was very happy.
But at the same time, Yash also met the mechanic who had seen both Aarti and Prashant the previous day and got to know from him that she was there earlier, and this could be a big problem since he does not know what is happening, and this leads to suspicion.
