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 - Bade Ache Lagte Hain - The custody trial just about to happen

The serial is heading towards another conflict point. For quite some time, the serial has been showing a slowly developing closeness between Ram and Priya, very different from the reunion between Ram and Priya after a gap of 5 years where Ram was very angry that Priya had his child and did not even tell him anything and wanted the custody of Pihu. He in fact even filed a case for the same, which caused Priya a lot of distress. However, things started moving in the right direction since Pihu brought them closer together again, and also there was always a love between them, which caused some of the bitterness to break. And of course Ayesha did not do anything to keep Ram strongly attached to her side, while Priya did such tasks such as keeping the ritual fast for Ram.
However, now Priya realizes that some of this closeness that she felt over a period of time is going to go away since the date of the court case is now only 3 days away, and though she has been assured that the case is strongly in her favor, she remains sad for Pihu. After all, she reasons, whether Ram wins or Priya wins, Pihu will only get one of her parents, and will remain separate from the other parent.
On the other side, the story of Vikram and Neha remains complex. Neha's child previous to her marriage remains a problem for both of them, and it is not even his fault. Neha was very worried about Vikram and his  relationship to Rehan, although Vikram seems to be taking it fairly well (he even cared for Rehan when he was sick and tended him back to wellness). At some point, they will need to let their children about this relationship, and work this out.

Hindi TV Serial - Parichay - Rohit is alive, and now Siddhi has to prove this and get Kunal free

For some reason, the serial primarily seems to be focused on the conflict between Kunal's family and the Thakral. Now, pappa Thakral feels that he is better than Kunal, and hence there will always be a conflict between them. But the situation is more tricky for the next generation, since beti Thakral (Richa) is passionate about Kunal, and beta Thakral (Rohit) is passionate about Raveena, and both Kunal and Raveena now don't want anything to do with Rohit and Richa.
So, the current situation is that Rohit is trying to get his revenge, and for that purpose, he tries to get Siddhi the accused in his murder case, but things are never simple. Kunal steps in, convinces the court that it was actually he who was involved in the case, and then Thakral (how does Thakral become the prosecution lawyer, when his own son was the victim) manages to prove that it was a planned murder and not a simple accident, and thus things get more serious.
Siddhi did not want Kunal to take the blame, but Kunal went ahead and did the same, and now Siddhi wants to get him out. For some time, people in the household believe that Vikram had also fought with Rohit at around the same time, and maybe he was the murderer of Rohit. However, then Siddhi manages to get a glimpse of a guy who was after Raveena, and it was Rohit. When she tells family members, they do not believe her, but then Vikram and others start believing. Now they need to catch Rohit and show him to the police so that the murder case will be over and Kunal can be out of jail. What is surprising is that Thakral also apparently does not know that Rohit is alive.

Hindi TV Serial - Parichay - Kunal stopped from arguing his own case in court

The serial has been going through a lot of drama. On the one hand, Kunal is getting more and more guilt-torn about the relationship that he has with Siddhi, convinced that he is doing wrong by being married to his dead brother's fiancee, and so on. He has told Siddhi about this many times, and this feeling is only getting reinforced. On the other hand, Siddhi for some reason known only to the makers of the serial, is refusing to tell him of the truth, that she is in love with him, and that she is fine with the marriage. She never even told him of whatever the confrontations that she had with Richa (and then they say later that their husband misunderstands them, since they hide half the things that could have led to a better relation).
Now, the court case filed against Kunal by Richa is progressing; after the initial setback, Thakral calls of a surprise by calling Siddhi to the stand, where everybody is surprised at her being called to the witness stand. And then Thakral manages to get her to reveal that she was there at the hotel where the incident between Richa and Kunal took place, something that Kunal did not know about. Also, during the case, he told the court something that shocked most of the Chopras, that about an impending divorce between Kunal and Siddhi. Now, Raj and Gaurav did not know about this divorce case and are truly surprised and very angry.
During the midst of the case, Kunal gets very angry after being provoked by Thakral, and takes physical action against Kunal. As a result, the judge stops proceedings, and orders that henceforth, Kunal will not able to fight his own case and will have to have a different lawyer, something that Thakral wanted. On the other side, Raveena is debating what she is doing, and whether she was the one who leaked the news of the divorce to Thakral.

Sapna Babul Ka Bidaai, Ranveer in lots of trouble

When everything else seems to be going right for the serial and the characters, then there is a need to add complexities to the story and turn it around. As a part of this, in the serial, when everything seemed to be going fine, you either add some new villainous characters to the scene or change the circumstances, and that is what they have done in Bidaai.
First they added a daadi-bua who does not like Vasu at all and who seeks to play people against one another, and then complicated matters by adding a deadly case. Just when Daadi-Bua seemed to be pushing Ragini and Sadhana against each other by implying that their husbands were being treated distinctly, came a case whereby some hoodlums were troubling Sadhana, and then Ranveer assaulted one of them very severely.
As a result, the hoodlum is very critically injured, and Ranveer is now in jail, and now Sadhana has to either speak the truth and see Ranveer get a long jail term, or she has to lie if she wants to retain her relationships, especially with Ragini. Ranveer is being prosecuted by a lawyer who has not lost a case, and he promises to get a long term for Ranveer.
