Hindi TV Serial - Qubool Hain - Razia exposed to everyone at home

The serial has been showing suspense for quite some time. The way in which Razia has been holding Babi Bi hostage and in a drugged state inside the house was getting boring and frustrating for viewers, and the new episode of how Humeira lost her memory and thought that she was a married lady called Rajni, and then the emergence of a crook called Vikram, was making the story very boring, and the serial was feeling stretched. Finally the makers of the serial used the occasion of the holy day of Eid to solve some of these problems and do disclosure. Another major suspense that was going on for some time was the puzzle of who was the father of Zoya, who was brought up as an orphan, even though her father was alive. Zoya had come to India, away from her adopted family, to hunt for her family, and this hunt was shown for many many months, with suspense from time to time, but feeling very stretched. Over a period of time, the viewers were shown that the father was Siddiqui, and both his wife Razia and Tanveer knew about this. Razia was determined to ensure that neither Zoya nor Sidduiqi got to know about this, and Tanveer was using this knowledge to get Zoya out of her way, so that she could marry Asad.
And then came the occasion of Eid, and an Eid party that Asad was giving. Since this was an Eid party, Rashid and his family, as well as Siddiqui and his family were all attending the party. In addition, there were some stories ongoing. The marriage of Nikhat was in deep trouble; she was in love with Imran, but his mother was determined to ensure that she played the role of a dominating mother-in-law. They had a lot of demands, although Rashid had met all of them. However, at the end, she wanted Rashid to give gold coins to all her relatives, and at this, Rashid received. She raised a lot of furore at this, and even made many negative reference to the looks of Nikhat, but then finally Nikhat stepped in and told that she would rather drop the marriage than keep on meeting more such demands. Finally the marriage was off, although Nikhat was deeply troubled that her fiancee, Imran did not anything to oppose his mother. So for now the relationship is over. However, Imran has his own problems, since he had an existing relation with Najma (a big complication, since Najma is the sister of Nikhat, both being the daughter's of Rashid). And of course, it turns out that there is also the involvement of Tanveer, with Imran being the father of her child; and Tanveer is now blackmailing him for the same. As a result, the character of Imran is now depicted as being pretty bad.
The biggest story was about the downfall of Razia. Razia had involved the guy impersonating Vikram (the assumed husband of Humeira / Rajni) in her plan of getting rid of BadiBi (she caught him stealing from the house while he saw her taking an unconscious BadiBi out of the house). By mistake, Badibi was in the same car that was taking Siddiqui to the party in Asad's house, and there Razia was trying her best to hide BabiBi from everyone. But Asad and Zoya saw something suspicious; and then in another story, Vikram had taken Humeira to a different place where he was trying to rape her, and Ayyan came there and beat up Vikram. At that time, there was a call from Razia to his phone about trying to take away BadiBi, and this was recorded. As a result, overall, BadiBi was found and she also revealed that Razia was the one who was doing all this to her. At this, Rashid went ballistic, and told Siddiqui that he wanted justice, and Siddiqui promised him the same once they reached home. There, finally Rashid said that he wanted Razia to see the same pain as he had felt separated from his mother, and she was sent off to a prison kind of home, where she will apparently face some rough treatment, although how this happened is not clear.
A good thing for Zoya at this party was that she finally found that her father was alive, since she used the musical toy music on the speaker system, and then found that somebody had placed the twin of that toy on the table, and nobody could do that except her father.

Hindi TV Serial - Sasural Simar Ka - Jhumki made to drink alcohol to reveal truth

For some days and weeks now, the serial has been showing Jhumki in the serial, preventing Khushi and Veeru from grabbing the house and property after the death of Roli. With Roli dead, the property will go back to Veeru, and it is the acting of Jhumki as Roli which is preventing this from happening. On an earlier deadline, Simar and Prem had found Jhumki and persuaded her to come with them and make sure that the household remains in the hands of the Bhardwarj family. However, both Veeru and Khushi were sure that this was some kind of plot, since Roli was indeed dead, and how could it be that there was Roli again. Now all their quest was to show that this was not Roli, and that it was somebody else.
Things were more complicated, since Jhumki had to be taught all the habits and customs of Roli, and some of them were more difficult, such as being one of the earliest to get up and do morning stuff for the household. Another major problem was that nobody else in the house knew that this was not Roli, but Jhumki, and hence were trying to push her back to Siddharth, so that they could resume their normal marital relationship. This was making Jhumpi very nervous, since she knew that she was not married to Siddharth, and hence was trying to stay away from Sid, and he was also confused. Prem and Simar would keep on coming back again and again to prevent this from happening. Finally Siddhart also got to know, and he was also hurt on knowing this.
In the meantime, Khushi was forever on the quest to ensure that she could get the secret of Jhumki revealed, and would try numerous stuff. She would try and get Jhumki to revert back to her natural way of speaking, which was very different from Roli; she even prepared food with a lot of chillies so that Jhumki would feel a horrid taste and would express her feelings, but Jhumki got to know and somehow got Khushi to eat the food first, and it was Khushi who suffered this. On another occasion, Jhumki was supposed to do one performance with the dance group of whom she was a member, but khushi managed to persuade the family to go there and see her. Jhumki got to know, and was able to prevent this disaster from happening.
Finally, it was almost time for Veeru and Khushi to be thrown out of the house, and they did their final attempt. They managed to get Khumki to drink alcohol and she got drunk, and started speaking about everything in front of everybody. Khushi was very happy, claiming that this was the truth of Jhumki, not Roli, and with the lawyer there, it was clear to everybody that the property and house would go to Khushi and Veeru and the family would have to leave. What will happen next ? 

Hindi TV Serial - Uttaran - Akash persuades his mother to forget revenge

The serial has taken a total turn from a month back. For a long time, the serial focused on getting Meethi to love Akash (presenting him as Vishnu), so that once they are married, the revenge for the death of Avinash at the hands of Ichcha, when Ichcha was protecting Veer. Even though Mukta was suspicious, and even managed to convince Rathore that there was something wrong about Vishnu, they were not able to convince Ichcha and Meethi of the same. In fact, the tables were turned on Mukta when it was portrayed that she was doing this to get some sort of revenge on Meethi. So the marriage happened and then it was supposed that Meethi and Vishnu had gone for their honeymoon. However, this was not as it appeared, since in fact they had gone back to her inlaws without letting Veer and Ichcha know. Once in Vishnu's house, the inlaws appeared nice but traditional, although in reality they were plotting against her.
Things got very serious when Ichcha suffered a serious accident and was on her death-bed, and they were unable to find Meethi. On the other hand, Surbhi, as Kanha's wife was providing them all the information that they needed, and then they made Meethi (unaware of the death of her mother) dance on the chauthi of her mother's death, all this as a part of her revenge. However, Rathore was on the hunt for detecting where Meethi and Vishnu were, and he managed to find them in a remote village in their haveli. By that time, Vishnu had been convinced by the love of Meethi and was no longer interested in killing her. Around this time, Rathore caught up with them and beat up Vishnu mercilessly, and then took away Meethi. Meethi had heard of the truth from Vishnu by then, and was totally shocked, and all her love seemed to have vanished.
However, things were not so clear. Vishnu's mother was very surprised at the about turn of her son, who was so dedicated to the revenge of his father, but over a period of time, she understood that her son had totally turned and was not willing to go on this quest of revenge any more, and she had to come to turns with this. At this time, the others in her family were totally shocked that she had given up her quest for revenge, also since there was the question of the marriage of Surbhi. Once Kanha had got to know the reasons for why Surbhi was married to him and how she was there as part of revenge, he sent a divorce petition to their house which was signed by Surbhi, but there was a taunt about why the same is not happening to the marriage of Meethi and Akash. What will happen next ? Will this marriage continue in these strange circumstances, where everybody is against him but Meethi is not so sure.

Hindi TV Serial - Qubool Hain - Finally Zoya learns the truth about Tanveer

The serial has been meandering in its story for quite some time. The proposed marriage between Zoya and Asad is moving towards happening, although Tanveer is determined to play the spoiler in the relationship and stop the marriage from happening. Tanveer wants to marry Asad so that she would become rich due to Asad being rich (and this was primarily because when she was working for Razia, in the end Razia had taunted her for being nobody and Tanveer was determined to ensure that she would break out of this and become rich and powerful).
With this in mind, Tanveer has been doing a lot of efforts to prevent the marriage between Zoya and Asad. She started helping in the process of getting Zoya deported from the country, and kept on providing information to the authorities that would help in getting Zoya out of her way, but in the end Asad managed to stop the deportation at the last minute. At other intervals, Tanveer tried other ways to hurt Zoya and also create sympathy in the mind of Asad for her. However, things are a bit difficult for her since Asad is in love with Zoya although he would not admit it, and his mother also liked Zoya a lot.
So there was a direct attack on Zoya by Tanveer, but this was avoided, and in the meantime Tanveer started claiming that there was an attack on her. Also, she finally told Asad that she was married and she was separated from her husband, and he was after her, wanting to cause her harm. Asad believed this, although now Zoya was starting to get suspicious about her. But so far, things were problematic since it was difficult to persuade the others that there was something about Tanveer, also given that she was a childhood friend of the family and who would think something like this.
Before, Zoya had discovered some bills and credit cards in the name of Tanveer's factory, the same factory that Tanveer had claimed was burnt down and not working. Zoya found out that there was a problem with Tanveer's left eye (in effect, she had a stone eye that she was hiding under contact lens). She finally proved this by getting the house fumigated which meant that Tanveer had to remove her contact lens. But finally Tanveer told Zoya that she will do everything to stop the marriage and that in front of her capabilities, Zoya would not be able to do anything.
On the other side, there was a fight between Ayyan and Imran (the fiancee of Nikhat), which resulted in the marriage getting called off. Nikhat was very upset over this, and Shireen was frantic, not letting Ayyan in the house. Ayyan was very angry and burnt the car that they had gifted to Imran, not knowing that Imran was also in the car. Razia blackmails Ayyan by telling him that she has photos of him doing this, and he has to marry Humeira to prevent this.

Amrutlal wants to get the land on which the mill stands, and he was finding it difficult to do as long as the mill was working and on a regular basis. So, he was the one who set fire to the mill, which was the event which caused Kishan to leave for abroad to get support and funds for re-opening the mill and ensuring the heritage of his family was preserved and the workers of the area got the support they needed.
However, when he returned, he returned with a wife, Bhoomi, which nobody was expecting. In fact, due to a communication gap, he thought that he had told his family about the marriage and they were approving of his decision to get married to Bhoomi, while they thought that they had arranged a bride for him and he was accepting of their decision. So, Bhoomi faced a lot of problem in getting accepted in the family and has to run through a series of tests set by the matriarch of the family, Aruna Irani. Inspite of not knowing the details of these items, she manages to pass these tests.
Now, Kishan decides that he will not let this happen, and will prevent Amrutlal from taking the property of the mill. For this, he has to first determine the role of Hansmukh in this whole episode and then figure out how the papers were actually given to Amrutlal. With the help of Bhoomi, first he goes to Amrutlal's place when he is looking for sellers to sell the land on which the mill is built, and then informs everybody that the papers he had were false and that they should not get tempted to buy the land since there are lots of problems with the papers and why they are getting sucked into something that is legally wrong. Amrutlal is not convinced, but he has an element of doubt and gets in touch with Hansmukh to find the true papers and also threatens him to resolve matters.
Kishan and Bhoomi then trap Hansmukh and get his evidence on the phone, and then force him to get the papers from Amrutlal under a false guise. He then uses this to get the court order vacated and finally managed to ensure that the matter is now clear, and even when Amrutlal appears there, he manages to show him that everything is correct and even Amrutlal's lawyer agrees with this. At this stage, Amrutlal reveals the whole truth about whatever Hansmukh had done to help him.

Hindi TV Serial - Punar Vivah - Ishita in her quest to get Yash to be hers

The serial is moving into apparently the final week of this series, with the new season of the soap ready to start soon, and hence the current serial needs to be wrapped up soon. Ishita is under a lot of pressure, since she wants Yash to be hers, while she is now under pressure from both Akash and Aarti about her behavior, and has to move matters quickly. On both these fronts, matters will get very dangerous for her, leaving her with very little time.
Ever since she was prevented from marrying Yash and married Akash, Ishita has always wanted to marry Yash. This is becoming a passion with her and she is willing to do anything to get this ambition of hers fulfilled, not caring about her being married to Akash (who is still vulnerable, even though he has got a lot of love from his brothers) and about Yash being happily married to Aarti and having many children with Aarti. For Ishita, she is now the total villain of the piece, and will do anything in her quest to harm Aarti. She tried to harm Aarti before her delivery, but was unable to do anything. After that, after Ayu was born, Ishita did not give up and finally got the kidnap of Ayu done. Aarti was initially blamed for this, but soon after, the same child was adopted back by Pari and brought back into the house.
By now, Aarti is very suspicious of Ishita, but like many other Hindi Serials, the makers of the serial always show the good people to be a bit dumb, always expecting that people will get better over a period of time and will lose their badness, and many times have to suffer because of that (some serials can show this suffering to happen for many months or years, while other serials can show this suffering to be a bit shorter). She wants to ensure that no harm can come to the family because of Ishita, but is not cunning enough to prevent Ishita from doing what she wants to do - she has to catch Ishita after she has done whatever she wanted to do.
Now, Ishita is in trouble with Akash wanting to be intimate with her, while Ishita is trying to rebuff him, and even tells him that she is using him to get closer to somebody else. Akash finally mentions the divorce word, and asks her whether she is interested in divorcing Akash since she is not really interested in the marriage. However, Ishita gets a reprieve after that when Akash has to go Bhopal for some work. Soon after, Ishita has a confrontation with Aarti where she gets 2 stinging slaps from Aarti since Aarti again believes that Ishita is after Yash. Also, when there are some dancers in the house for a function, Aarti traces one of them as being the one who was involved at the time of Ayu's kidnap, and gets the information from her that Ishita was involved in the kidnap.
With so little time left, Ishita has to move quickly. She has to quickly snare Yash in a situation where he cannot deny, and so gets him to a hotel elsewhere with the pretense that she has a detective to investigate the kidnapping and that the detective is getting closer. She then gets Yash to drink a juice that has been drugged and is hoping to showcase Yash in an intimate scene, so that he cannot deny what happened.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha - The sudden marriage of Rubel and Latika, and pain to Anuj and Sheila

After a time period where the serial showed the stars of Rubel and Sheila Mami being on the ascent, and Avantika and family being out of the Dewan mansion, the serial started showing something reverse. For quite some time, viewers of the serial would already know that the best way that the serial would show an answer would be for Sheila and Anuj to realize the problems that they are facing, since Rubel seems to have taken the values that they have given him to a higher degree. They have no respect for parents and for relatives, so to expect that Rubel would give them respect is foolish, but the serial is now starting to show them facing all these problems. One of the biggest issues for them was when Rubel came to them and told them that he is now engaged to Latika, and since Sheila mami knows exactly what Latika is like, she was horrified. She would be looking for a daughter-in-law who would be docile, who would listen to everything that she was saying.
Now, with Pankhuri in the mansion as a caretaker (appointed by Kaira, since Sheila would never have allowed such a thing), the best way for Sheila and Rubel to get pleasure would be tell the news to Avantika and Aditya that their beloved Pankhuri is now acting as their servant, but Nanaji has put a stop to that. He knows what will pinch them, and has told them that if they are ever responsible for Aditya or Avantika learning this news, he will immediately donate the mansion to a charity and they will not be able to do anything about it, and this will go against their plan.
So, Sheila is now searching for a plan where she can arrange so that Aditya or Avantika can learn the situation about Pankhuri without telling them directly, but so far all her plans are failing. And yet, this is her goal. In the meantime, Aditya and Pankhuri discuss Rubel behaving strangely with the company lawyer, him being very uncomfortable with what Rubel is asking him to do. Pankhuri finally manages to get to his office and sees Rubel there, and threatens him with the name of Nanaji. He reveals that Rubel is looking to get a contract marriage, with the marriage getting dissolved in some time, till they can get the mansion in their name.
Pankhuri and Aditya want to tell this to Nanaji, and Sheila is shocked when she hears of this. She tries to stop them, but they come to the mansion and tell Nanaji, and he is not as shocked, but threatens that he will take action. And then Rubel comes in, having decided to take an action which is drastic, and very shocking to his parents. They were uncomfortable with the engagement, but were told that it was just for a period of time; and now Rubel comes in with Latika, with both of them wearing garlands, and tells everybody that they have got married. Everybody is shocked, and tells them off, but Rubel could not care. Even when his parents confront him in the room, he is very rude, which shocks Anuj, since it is the first time that he sees how Rubel actually is, he is focused towards getting what he wants and could not care for any relations. Latika on the other hand is focused towards her goals, and even while re-assuring Sheila, she is waiting for the day when she gets 50% of the mansion in her name.

Vikram also plays an active part in this process, conspiring along with Ram. Finally, Sid does manage to get hold of the file, only to see something which Ram was intending to show him. This says that the property would be turned over only to Ayesha and not Sid. Sid is very angry at this one, since he cannot understand why the property does not come over to him, and Ram explains to him that this contract was done before Sid was there in the scene, only to ensure that the property does not go away from Ayesha. This settles Sid for a little while, but he remains very suspicious.
The family is also trying the police of divide and rule, seeing that Mamaji also provides a lot of advice to both Sid and Ayesha, and hence it was necessary to remove the very close relationship. So, since they are seeing that Ayesha is a bit stingy with spending money on anybody else, they work on 2 aspects related to Mamaji. First, the Rs. 10 lakh bill run up by Mamaji on his clothing is thrown towards Ayesha, making her feel the pain of paying this bill, and she even raises the same issue with Sid, who dismisses it angrily. Further, Priya talks to Mamaji in a way that both Sid and Ayesha get suspicious about what is happening, with the concept of whether the money that is deposited in Mamaji's account is because Mamaji is playing a double role. Mamaji is very angry at all this, and goes to Ayesha to return her the Rs. 10 lakh.
Now, they decide to give a party to Sid, a bachelor party and hook him up with a girl at the party. This will be recorded to give them more things to hold over sid, but then Ayesha turns up over their and is very angry at Sid about what he is doing behind her back. Ram and Priya try to handle the situation, but Ayesha is very angry.

Hindi TV Serial - Punar Vivah - Aarti all ready to deliver a baby, Ishita trying everything to stop her

After so much time, the serial started showing some positive news for the main members of the serial. The quest of Yash and Aarti to ensure that Akash left all his anger and hurt was finally achieved. In the end, Akash felt the comfort and love from the family and decided to change himself - so he returned the room back to Yash and Aarti, he told Ishita to hand over the keys of the house to Aarti (where Buaji came in and taunted Ishita about what she was being asked to do) which were in turn handed over to Radha (the quest of Yash and Aarti to ensure the re-marriage of Papa Scinidia and Radha was achieved and the marriage did happen, and they look fairly comfortable after the marriage), and Akash also told Yash that he was returning all the share of the family business that he had been given and would act an assistant to Yash so that he could learn about the business. And all of this left Ishita very angry, since she was very jealous of the closeness of Yash and Aarti and wanted their relationship to break.
So, now Ishita has taken over as the villain of the serial, taken over from Prashant. She has been trying a number of tactics over the past few months to do whatever it takes to harm Aarti, and has been getting more and more frustrated since she is not able to break the strong relation between Aarti and Yash. She knows that Aarti is pregnant and the steps that she is taking will harm the baby as well, but her jealousy is driving her to do all this. In the midst of all this, she has no regard for Akash, and when Akash is slowly getting close to her now after his emotions have got more balanced, she cannot stand any such attempt to get close and feels disgusted whenever Akash tries something.
She tries to add more separation between Yash and Aarti by trying to get Aarti to fall down after slipping over some water (using the opportunity when Aarti is trying to clean a bit of the floor), but Aarti gets saved by Yash before she can fall. And even though Ishita tries to instigate Pari to blame Aarti for this, especially since Palak does get a bit hurt after she slips, this soon ends, and Yash is not at all angry over this. So, this attempt by Ishita comes to an end, and she also gets scolded by Buaji when Buaji sees her trying to peek into the room of Yash and Aarti.
Now, it is speculated that after the delivery, Ishita will try to get the baby away so as to try and put some distance and arguments between Yash and Aarti. Will she succeed ?

Hindi TV Serial - Bade Acche Lagte Hain - Trying to get Ayesha and Sid to marry

The serial has suddenly gone into a very strange mode. For some time now, the serial has shown both Ram and Priya in a mode where they are together and very happy over that part, but otherwise their life was going through strange times. They had lost all their property (or rather it was donated by Ram to Ayesha so that she would walk away from the marriage and leave him free to be back together with Priya). But this also meant that they were no longer rich, could not afford stuff such as spending to send Pihu to a good school, and so on. Further, since they had such a pride, it was difficult for them to accept help from even their closest friends (which was very odd for me, since if I was in such a state, or a friend was in such a state, I would expect that very close friends would be the ones who would help).
And things got even bad after that, since they were now working for a company where their boss was an old enemy Ashwin, who left no chance to get back at them. However, this was soon overcome, since Ashwin did the unexpected step of taking a report that Ram had created and presenting it as his own. Priya has anyhow been shown to be outspoken, so she went in front of a number of investors and pointed out that Ashwin had used Ram's proposal, and this left the investors the knowledge that The Ram Kapoor was in their company. They immediately elevated him to a position where he was the senior of Ashwin, but Ram did not take any revenge back, and rejected his resignation.
On the personal side, Saumya and Natasha had figured out that Ayesha was pregnant even though she tried to throw them off, and soon combined this with the fact that Ayesha was apparently seeing somebody in a nearby chawl. Ram and Priya reached there and found that it was Sid (who was on the run from the police for 5 years). They turned him into the police, but Sid managed to run away from their office. However, Mamaji and he over-played their hand in trying to be clever and decided to seek help from Pihu (also with the thought that the police would not be looking for Sid over there). But, this was seen by Priya, and eventually Ram landed there soon after Pihu; but this time, instead of letting Sid run away, Ram decided to appear in a new leaf and be all brotherly, by telling sid that he would turn him to the police and then get him out on bail. In doing so, Ram wanted to get the trust of Sid and Ayesha, and also wanted to start manipulating events the way he wanted rather than wait for Sid and Ayesha to do as they liked.
So the plan is to ensure that Sid and Ayesha get married, since in a clause in the contract, Ayesha's rights over the property would revert back to Ram if she did get married, even if this was to Sid. But the idea was to get them to do this (and one way was to show to Sid that legal advice for resolving the case would be to show him as a settled family man, and for that, he would need to be married). Sid is not very comfortable with the idea of getting married, which irritates Ayesha.
Also, the serial is showing more happiness in the marriage of Ram and Priya, since she is shown as pregnant, with Ram being the protective husband and even their family trying to ensure that Priya does not exert herself too much.

Hindi TV Serial - Qubool Hain - Zoya finally reverses her plan to leave, after she hears Asad

The serial is going through a lot of complications, with multiple stories ongoing. There is still some tension between Asad and Ayyan, ever since Ayyan used money to Rashid out of prison and free of the charges against him. What caused further problems was the statement by the police inspector that the charges were made on the basis of bias, and done by the first son (Asad) who was left by Rashid after the fire in the doll factory; Razia using that incident to apply pressure on Rashid to do what she wanted.
There is a blossoming love story between Zoya and Asad, although both are apprehensive about this, since they are very different from each other. They have a love hate relation with each other, with Asad adopting a stance of coldness and rigidity, and also blaming her when a number of things have gone wrong (with many of them later turning out to show that Zoya was not wrong, or did not do so deliberately). However, he felt a great sense of shame when he learnt that Zoya's parents are dead and she was originally in an orphanage from where a family adopted her (he remembers the time when he told her in anger that her parents had not brought her up properly, and that her values were very different from those of a normal family). Every time he had told her like this, her tears had come out, but he would have been angry and not cared.
Now, her visa time has run out. For her, her mission was a failure, since she had come to find her natural father, and this in turns out to be Siddique, but Razia detects who the illegitimate daughter of her husband is, and manages to manipulates in such a way that both Zoya and Siddique believe that the other one is dead and do not know the actual identities (in Zoya's case, she is shown the grave where her father is supposed to be lying). This brings further pain to Zoya, and she decides to leave; this causes great happiness to Tanveer since she wants to become rich by marrying Asad.
But, at the last minute, Zoya is shocked when she hears the voice of Asad asking her not to go (the voice coming out through a recording on her laptop); till now she had believed that Asad was interesting in her leaving and was in fact helping this out by getting her early tickets. So, when she says that she will not go, everybody is happy, except for Tanveer.
On the other hand, Ayyan has finally agreed to marry Humaira after Razia tells him that she will get Rashid sent back to jail on the same charge; she further pressures him to tell his family early, which he finally does. Rashid suspects that there is some pressure on him to take this decision, and Ayyan is forced to defend his decision; although there is a cute scene where Zoya tells him about some signs to detect whether Humaira is in love with him (and those signs certainly point to this).

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha - Pankhuri joins as caretaker of the Diwan house

The serial is going from bad to worse, with the storyline being totally unrealistic. In reality, in life, there are people who are more evil or less evil, and even in the Geeta, it says that when somebody is behaving badly, it is your responsibility to ensure that these people get their just deserts. If you don't say anything to them and  let them do what you want, then you are equally guilty and shirking your duty. In the serial, ever since Avantika backed down up Atul's demand and handed over all signing powers to him, their family has been going through a total downturn. It is great to say that you want to stay with your husband and make your own destiny rather than take from your father, but it is a very regressive talk. For any person, it is their right to get what their father has created, whether you be a son or daughter. However, the serial has totally gone off this track, and presented a picture where when a daughter reconciles with her husband, she rejects everything that her father has given. Further, when you are running a company where your customers and employees work and depend on the company, it is sheer irresponsibility to hand over the running of the company to something who is not at all suitable. Even worse, you are leaving your father in the hands of people who are ruthless, and who can do anything to get what they want.
So, as part of their plan to get total control of the house, Sheela and Rubel do further planning. They do not like the presence of Shanky in the house, since he is somebody who keeps on reminding them about how things were better in the past, and is likely to not follow what you say, and hence they get Shanky kicked out of the house. And Nanaji, behaving like how Neville Chamberlain totally gave into Hitler, has only one aim; even though he keeps on threatening that he is still the owner and can make things right, keeps on giving into what Anuj and Sheela wanted, and keeps on asking them for more pain under which he will not buckle. They have already done whatever they wanted, kicked out everybody else from the house, done things in the house that he would not have liked, and yet everybody let them do what they wanted.
Finally, somebody good in the family came. Kaira, the daughter of Sheela, and who is apparently on the good side, was tasked with appointing a caretaker for the house, and through a chance, finally ended up appointing Pankhuri as the caretaker of the house. Nanaji was shocked at this, since he is sure that nobody in the house will like it, and Rubel will literally almost torture her until she decides to leave. And then when Rubel comes in, a side of him is excited, since this is the way for him to do a full round of torture of Pankhuri until he has got his revenge and she leaves. And of course, since Adi does not know, with his temper, he will literally erupt.

Hindi TV Serial - Bade Acche Lagte Hain - Sid found, Ram and Priya do conspiracy to defeat Sid and Ayesha

The serial seems to believe that it should not show too much despair, or too much pain. So, for example, you had the situation where both Ram and Priya were looking for a job, they had no money, and Ram's family was also kicked out of the house by Ayesha after she got angry at them for muddling up a business deal where she had to show that apparently they were a nice happy family. This seemed like the bottom, and then both of them found a job, and then they showed that the manager of the place was Ashwin, who was humiliated by Ram earlier for the actions he took. Now that Ashwin is in charge, he took a lot of pleasure in tormenting Ram, calling him to work on Sunday (when Ram was supposed to be off on a family trip) and then not showing up. And crucially, he asked Ram for a report which he rejected.
So, when Ashwin was upto this kind of stuff, there was a meeting setup for the investors in the company, the ones who were in charge. For further humiliation, Ashwin had setup Priya to be the usher in charge, and when it was clear that Ashwin would be using the report prepared by Ram and was taking credit for the work that got a lot of praise, Priya could not stand it anymore. Since she was anyhow close to the mike, she stepped up by saying that she wanted to praise Ashwin, and then made the startling declaration that this was an idea stolen by Ashwin, instead of giving the credit to Ram (even when he was specifically asked).
The investors had already heard of Ram, and then they decided to give him a job that was at a level higher than Ashwin. Ashwin was shocked at all this, and submitted his resignation, which Ram rejected since he wanted Ashwin to work on this.
On the other side, Ayesha had got pregnant, and this was seen by Saumya, who went and told this to Natasha. However, in the hospital, Ayesha managed to get this reversed by claiming that the abortion was being done for a friend, not for her. They did not believe this, and followed this lead, with Priya then seeing Sid at the hospital. After this, both Ram and Priya followed the story by trying to trace the person whom Ayesha was seeing. They finally confronted Sid and then got him arrested. However, Sid managed to escape from the police.
But, in a plan, Sid wanted to stay near Ram so that the police was not looking for them, and get Pihu to help him. This was seen by Ram and Priya, and they managed to turn this around so that Sid was then arrested by the police, with them trying to manipulate things so that Sid would now believe that Ram was trying to help them in opposition to Priya. As a result, Sid would be manipulated to marry Ayesha, and under the contract, this would ensure that the property would be released from Ayesha and would revert back to Ram. This would be a just punishment to Sid and Ayesha.

Hindi TV Serial - Saathiya - Gopi trying to tell Kokila the truth about what happened in hospital

The attempt by Urmila to know the sex of the twins that are there in Rashi's womb back-fired badly. Urmila wanted to ensure that they were sons so that Rashi would have a high position in the house (the serial did not mention about what would happen if they were girls, since I don't believe the Modi household as shown in the serial would try to get rid of a girl child, especially since Meera is well loved as the child of Ahem and Gopi. However, the police had an eye on the hospital and was listening to phone conversations, and tracked the nurse who was willing to reveal the details of the sex of the child. They came to the hospital to arrest the nurse, and when she was being arrested, the nurse thought that this sex-determination was being asked for by Kokila, and hence she named Kokila. Kokila protested her innocence, but was arrested by the police and taken to jail. Gopi knew about what was happening and threatened that she would reveal everything unless Kokila was taken out of jail, and this was an assertive manner that Gopi is not known for. Even though Urmi tried to put pressure on her, Gopi refused to back down and told Urmila that she will tell the truth to Kokila, since Kokila did not deserve to be in jail for even a second.
Urmila is very scared; already Kokila has a very low opinion of her, and if Kokila were to find out that Urmila was trying to do a sex determination test and was the reason for Kokila to land up in jail, Urmila would land up in severe trouble. So Urmi is trying her best to do a situation whereby Kokila thinks good of her and Gopi does not tell the truth. Urmila at the moment is in a slightly positive situation because she did a drama at the police station, getting the police inspector in a web whereby he was finally forced to reveal Kokila, and hence Kokila is grateful to Urmila. But this would not last if Kokila was to find out that Urmi was the one behind all this.
Urmila decides to invite the Modi household to her house for a Holi party, and before that, asks both Gopi and Rashi to spend the night there before. When they reach there, Rashi is very surprised that Urmila is asking Rashi to do all the work and favoring Gopi; this was so different from what happens normally that Rashi even checks whether Urmila is fine.
During the party, when Gopi tries to take Kokila aside to tell her everything, Urmila keeps on interrupting and preventing Gopi from having that discussion with Kokila. And then when Gopi keeds Laddus, Urmila adds bhang to these laddus and kokila eats one and so does Urmila. Kokila prevents anybody else from eating those laddus, but both Kokila and Urmila are now high.

Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Ka Dard Hai...Meetha Meetha - Aditya leaves the house after Nanaji asks him to go

The serial is going through a strange set of circumstances. Sheela is so focused on getting everything with herself that she is willing to do whatever is required to push everybody else out of the house. They played upon Avantika's mood for ensuring that the family is reconciled, and ended up passing over all powers to Anuj; including the power of attorney and the right to take all decisions. However, this is not enough for Sheela, since she wants to ensure that Avantika is pushed out of the house and Sheela has exclusive rights of the house.
Anuj learns that the house is willed to the wives of Aditya and Rubel, and she is not happy enough with this; she wants to ensure that the entire house is handed over to Rubel, and for that, she is even willing to try and break the marriage of Aditya and Pankhuri. So, when Aditya and Pankhuri start their drama of acting like they are fighting (and blaming the bad condition of  the marriage of Avantika and Harish), Sheela is very happy since she believes that she can leverage on this condition and finally get them separated. However, she is very distressed when she learns that both Aditya and Pankhuri were just doing a drama and they called off the drama after the party (where Harish was hospitalized, and then finally Avantika learned about the medical illness, and about how Harish had not moved on, just did not want to tell her about this condition which could have ended his life in a short time).
However, things get more problematic. Sheela is trying to figure out more plans for how to get them all out of the house so that she can take control of the house. She starts another master plan, and this one is one where she also needs the cooperation of Latika as well. The plan is to happen in the party where Avantika is doing all the cooking, with the party happening in Harish's house. During the middle of some games, Latika moves out of the area and then Aditya gets a call. The reception is not clear and he moves to another room to take the call, and also closes the door because of the noise in the party.
Then everybody hears a scream, and Rubel rushes in and sees Latika on the bed and Aditya in the room and accuses Aditya of making designs on his fiancee, since Aditya has never forgotten her. This discussion and argument continues on in Diwan mansion, where Rubel says that he will break the marriage since he cannot trust when both Aditya and Latika are in the same house. He says that he wants Nanaji to take a decision on this one, and then Nanaki takes a most surprising decision. Probably since Nanaji knows the true nature of both Sheela and Rubel, he tells Aditya that he should leave for his dad's house and not stay here anymore.
Aditya is shocked and cannot understand what is happening, and how can his Nana suddenly call this house not his house any more. In his anger, he tells Pankhuri to quickly pack so that they can leave immediately, and when Pretti mousi tries to object, he does not listen.

So, when Koki learns the truth about the lies of Rashi and Urmi, she is shocked and decides to expose all that Rashi has done in front of everybody. This is a shocker for everybody. But before this, Rashi has already gone off to her mother's house with her luggage, and Jigar goes there to pick her up so that she can be there in the house for Diwali celebrations (so far only Jigar knows that she has gone there in a huff).
So, finally Rashi comes back to the house, where she is happy that Jigar has come there to pick her up, and that she is important for the household. However, Rashi is in for a big shock when she comes back to the house, since Koki subjects her to an interrogation as soon as she comes inside, and that too, in the full flow that Koki is capable of. Even though others try to stop her, she shuts everybody up (including Gopi who tries to intervene but is forced to keep quiet).
Soon, the others find out about everything that Rashi and her mother are done, and when Jigar admits that he knew some of this, there is confirmation as well. It is at that point that Rashi is turned out of the house. Her mother is shocked at this and cannot stand such a thing happening. She comes to the house in order to try and bring her daughter back, but does not succeed. So she starts a new drama where she sits at the gate of the house, claiming that she will not leave till they take her daughter out, but Koki tells everyone to ignore this drama, telling Ahem to be quiet, although he is getting very angry and wants to call the police to sort this out. When Gopi is going out to meet Urmi, Koki stops her as well.
The next part of this drama will be where Urmi attempts to use the drama of some injuries on Rashi's body in order to claim that she was being tortured for dowry, and there will be the need for CCTV footage in order to verify the truth.
