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 - 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 - Kya Hua Tera Vaada - Pradeep accused of murder, more tamasha over Karva Chauth

The serial is really becoming very confused. The projected date for the marriage between Mona-Vineet and Anushka-Pradeep was coming very close and then there were a few variable introduced. An old friend of Anushka turned up, who was then revealed to have been a husband of hers (with the divorce not having come through) and they were also revealed to have committed fraud and stolen money from their previous marriage. Now Anushka wants to marry Pradeep, but there is blackmail going on and Anu has to pay money to her former husband. In a confrontation, she kills the guy and Pradeep comes in soon after, and is then blamed for the murder. Anushka would rather that Pradeep be convicted rather than she be blamed for the murder.
When Mona gets to know, she abandons everything that she is doing and goes to try and help Pradeep in his problem. She cannot believe that Pradeep would have been guilty of killing somebody, and Vineet also decides to support her in this quest. And then the next level of confusion turns up, with Karva Chauth coming up, with one former husband a future husband. Mona gets 2 sargis from both sides, but has told people that since Vineet is going to be her husband, she would keep a fast for Vineet. However, Vineet's mother is not clear about what is happening, and is anyhow always not sure about her son marrying a divorcee with 3 children whose husband is very close by. Anushka also tries to add more confusion in all this mix.
Now, the serial is reaching a point where, Anushka, once pushed by Pradeep and Mona after 2 guys were caught following them on behalf of Anushka, blurts out that she would rather Pradeep be convicted, else she would be accused of the murder of her former husband.

Hindi TV Serial - Kya Hua Tera Vaada - Seamier side of Anu revealed

Things are getting more complicated. As if the broken relationship between Pradeep and Mona was not enough, there was the planning going on for 2 marriages, the marriage between Pradeep and Anuska, and the marriage between Mona and Vineet. For quite some time, Mona was shown as very unenthusiastic about marriage between her and Vineet, but both Vineet and her father-in-law, Alok, were very keen. Vineet's parents were not enthusiastic about their son marrying a divorcee who has 3 children, but finally they are also agreed. Others in the household such as Mallika, the sister-in-law is trying to intervene but nobody is really listening to her.
Till now they have shown Anushka as an arrogant and strong willed person, who will do whatever she has to do; but now they are showing more details about her, such as the fact that she is already married and actually had done fraud in a previous company. They do all this by introducing a new character, Shaurya, who scares Anushka whenever she hears his voice on the phone; and then he lands there and starts threatening Anushka by saying that he will reveal the truth about her to everybody unless she gives him a lot of money. She does not have that kind of money, and starts looking for money, primarily to see where she can steal this much money.
Things get interesting, since Mona finds out about his background and tells everybody in the house to beware of him, but then Anushka slaps Mona but before something else can happen, Suhasi tells her that Anushka is the daughter of the house while Mona is moving out and hence should listen to Anushka. Mona is not very happy about this, but accepts it and also persuades Alok about this. The next item of discussion is about whose marriage will Alok and Suhasi attend, if both of them fall on the same date.

Hindi TV Serial - Kya Hua Tera Vaasa - Mona gets promoted very high, seems very strange

A lot of people would have seen the movie called 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyaar Ke' where a cute Aamir Khan was trying to save his factory from the clutches of a rich vengeful man, and even when he had completed the order, his truck was stolen and he finally recovered the truck and everything became good again.
Kya Hua Tera Vaasa had almost a similar episode, where Mona was stuck in a major trap set by Anushka, with Mona not wanting the workers of a part of the company to be fired since it was going to be closed down. Anushka was of course wanting those workers to be fired, but Mona, goaded by anushka, agreed to a promise whereby if the unit was turned around in 3 months, everything would be fine, but if not, she would leave the company. And then, for some time, nothing happened.
And then, the new owner of the company came to India, and noticed that the unit had not been shut down; he became angry and Anushka fed the anger, to the extent, he claimed that since there were only 2 days left to complete the order, if the order was not completed, he would fire Mona. Mona was scared, but then managed to recruit a group of women's activists, with the help of Anushka's mother. When Anushka got to know, she goaded her mother to remove the activists, but then Mona spoke to her again and things were all right again and the production was completed.
But, the truck was hijacked, and they set out in pursuit, finally managed to catch the truck, get the completed items, beat up the hijackers, get to know that Anushka was involved; then the client got the order, was happy and everybody was happy. Further, the boss got to know that Anushka was involved, which caused her a lot of shame, and then the surprise announcement - Mona was made the President of the company, at the same level as Anushka, and now senior to Pradeep.
This was a very very surprising development, and one wonders how Mona could have been made the President, she does not have the experience or the competence level as of now; very surprising since one would have expected the serial to show the slower growth of Mona. 

Hindi TV Serial - Kya Hua Tera Vaada - Mona and Pradeep still out on a social gathering

The character of Pradeep in the serial is being shown as more and more negative. When it turned out that the proposal by Jatin may be accepted, he tries everything to prevent this from happening, to the extent that he calls Mona's parents (the same ones who were not willing to accept Mona in their home after the breakup) over; they come and start lamblasting Mona's inlaws for trying to get rid of Mona and so on. Then finally the serial shows some amount of steel in Mona since she questions them about whether they are really for Mona, or for their status in society, and finally manages to quieten them. And then when Pradeep tries to say something, she gives him a verbal slap.
This however is not enough for Pradeep. On the other side, Anushka also learns that Pradeep was trying to prevent Mona's remarriage, and also that he had called her parents over, and further, he had taken Anushka out to dinner so that he could keep an eye out on Mona and Jatin's dinner date. She tells him that he has to decide where he wants to be, and she leaves the place, asking him to make a decision. It would be pretty clear to him that Anushka has her own mind, and will not take the same sort of shit that he used to give to Mona.
In another incident, Anushka and Mallika see Mona in a nursing home and learn that the reports show that she is pregnant (might be that the report is actually of Taani, who is pregnant after her relationship with Madhav). Anushka manages to obtain a copy of the report and is going to use that to make an announcement in the engagement party of Mona's cousin where Mona and Pradeep will be going as a couple.

Hindi TV Serial - Kya Hua Tera Vaada - Jatin woos Mona, and Pradeep plays the jealous role

The serial is going through a phase where they are showing the jealous nature of Pradeep. He left Mona and their 12 year old relationship for Anushka and the promises that she showed him, but still retails a strong possessive sense for Mona; so when he sees that Jatin has given a proposal for Mona, he is shocked. He is even more shocked when he sees his own father pushing Mona for meeting Jatin and for atleast considering the proposal; and foolishly, he scolds his own father for doing so. The result was that he got a thorough scolding from his own father for whatever happened, and for trying to interfere in Mona's life. Further, when he tries to act in front of Mona, she not only talks back to him but Anushka hears when he is trying to act possessive and he is only able to manage the situation with some difficulty.
Mona is still shocked about the proposal, and since her father-in-law was pushing her, she goes to the restaurant to meet Jatin, and to shock him and make him aware, she takes all 3 children along. However, Jatin handles the situation very well, taking care of the children, asking them for what they wanted and getting on a friendship term with them. Pradeep has also come to the restaurant to see what is happening (although Anushka does not know about this) and when Jatin sees him, he welcomes him and does not seem to care that even though he called Mona, she called her children as well as her husband.
On the other side, Tani is seen walking back from the engagement of Madhav with Jia, being further taunted by Madhav at the ceremony, and walking back in the rain where she faints. Now, typically, in hindi serials and movies, wherever there is a fainting happening of  a lady like this, it is often meant to indicate that she is pregnant. One wonders what will happen in this case.

Hindi TV Serial - Kya Hua Tera Vaada - Divorce case in court, kids awarded to Pradeep

For Pradeep and Anushka, the concept is that they are now a loving couple, can get on with business and with being close to each other, and achieve their ambitions in life. For Pradeep, his earlier life was all about career mixed with this duties as a father, but it was Mona who was managing the house, and Pradeep would not even know about the issues that was affecting his children. So, when he decided to leave Mona and start on a new life with Anushka, he had not planned anything in detail.
On the other hand, when Mona's mother-in-law prevents her from jumping off the building, she shows Mona a plan whereby Mona can start with her life again, learning how to stand on her own feet, starting with Mona getting her education complete. This also includes not trying to beg Pradeep not to leave her.
The next events in the show surprised both Pradeep and Anushka. Pradeep would have calculated that Mona would ask him for support for the children, and he was willing to offer the support. However, when the case came up, events worked out in such a way that Mona did not offer any objection to the divorce petition, and wanted this to be a divorce by mutual consent. Further, her condition was that the children would be Pradeep.
The judge accordingly agreed to this condition, and so did Pradeep, and as a result, the custody of the children was handed over to Pradeep and Anushka, something that Anushka was certainly not ready for. Handling 3 children is not an easy task, and am pretty sure that this would cause huge strains between Pradeep and Anushka.

Hindi TV Serial - Kya Hua Tera Vaada - Finally the news breaks, Pradeep calls off the marriage

To tell the truth, I have been finding this show a bit irritating over the past few episodes, but maybe the setting is part of the serial. They show a family going through strain, where the husband Pradeep feels that his wife is now so dedicated to family (read this as the children) and to the running of the family that she does not really have the time to spend on him. This feeling grows on him, and he has frustration with his current job where he feels that he is not valued. On the other hand, his wife Mona gives a very good representation of acting like a door-knob, letting him unleash on her whenever he wants, and not setting him right even once in a while. She just takes the pain in silence, and whenever Pradeep vents on her, she tries to figure out what her fault was.
Things however come to a pass when Pradeep is about to resign from the company because of an issue, and then suddenly his old college girl-friend, the ambitious Anushka comes into the picture as being the owner of the company. She sets things right for Pradeep, and then decides over the next few days that she was wrong to let Pradeep go in the past, and she wants him now. One of her close friends even warns her against this, but she does not listen.
So you now have Pradeep being sought by his own boss, a boss who is ambitious, who has given him promotions, and who flatters him with the attention that he is looking for, and over a period of time, Pradeep even starts having a relationship with her, under the nose of Mona who does not know all this, and who even believes that Anushka is a good friend to her.
And then there is an accident that causes Pradeep to blurt out his true feelings about Anushka, something which Mona overhears, and then in front of both sets of parents, Pradeep declares that his marriage is over, that he cannot stay with Mona anymore (and anyhow, this was a forced marriage), and he is going to stay with Anushka, she is ambitious like the person he wanted. On the other hand, in Mona's house, her father is not very comfortable with her coming back to stay with them, since he cannot deal with what people will say about this.
