Hindi TV Serial - Rang Badalti Odhani - The background of Shaan finally getting revealed

With the presence of Sam, the history of what caused Shaan to have his current behavior is getting revealed. For some time now, Shaan's family is somewhat mystified by his behavior, his unsettled emotional nature, and the way he shirks his family responsibility. His father, who is anyhow going through an emotional state because of the threat of divorce by his wife, cannot easily accept this nature of Shaan.
However, the story is slowly getting revealed with the presence of his friend from college, Sam in his life. Both Khanak and Sam do not really like each other, and do not hesitate to attack each other verbally whenever they get a chance, and Shaan has to take a lot of effort to ensure that they remain cool with each other, and not let the skirmishes escalate.
It starts turning out that Sam and Shaan do not relish the memory of another friend from college, called Rahul, who now is a fairly successful businessman. Sam and Rahul meet when Sam goes to provide him a service for planning a marriage, and she is shocked when she sees Rahul.
Rahul teases and torments her, but Sam does not want to reveal the presence of Rahul to Shaan ever since the incident in college when Rahul rejected the love of Sam (when Shaan felt that Rahul would easily accept the love of Sam); ever since then, they have been separate from each other, and Shaan does not event want to ever meet Rahul again.
Further, Khanak gets to know all this when she sees Sam with Rahul, and Rahul had also saved her when she was being heckled by 2 people for being a village girl. Now, the next step will be when Rahul and Shaan meet.

Hindi TV Serial - Rang Badalti Odhani - Turbulence in Shantanu's life because of his past catching up and parents drama

Rang Badalti Odhani was going through some light moods recently, and then suddenly everything turned serious. They showed the acceptance of the relationship between Shaan and Khanak, with the realization that both of them loved each other a lot. In fact, Khanak moved towards understanding the full scope of the relationship, starting to learn more about the physical intimacy that becomes a part of such a relationship.
However, things starting getting complicated at the same time. The relationship between Shaan's father and his mother, which was never seemingly very close, reached breaking point (not through some bitter fights), but more like a realization that she was not happy in this relationship and wanted to separate, through a formal divorce. When Shaan heard about this, he was totally shaken, and started behaving strangely. He would not speak normally to his father, accusing his father and mother of acting like having a normal relationship. He was also somewhat distant from Khanak, who would not understand what her husband was going through.
One change in Khanak that is for the positive is where she is not shown under Shaan's control; she loves him a lot and would want to ensure that he is always fine, but that does not mean that she will accept everything that Shaan does. She regularly tells Shaan to be more responsible, play his role in the family work and so on.
Another angle that is being shown in the serial is about old friends of Shaan, such as Sam. Khanak was trying to figure out what Shaan was doing in his college days, but when Sam shows up, she is very uncomfortable with the close relationship between Sam and Shaan.

Hindi TV Serial - Rang Badalti Odhani - Finally Khanak reveals her love for Shantanu

For quite some episodes now, there has been an ongoing thread in the serial about the love relationship between Khanak and Shantanu, and how Khanak has been unable to articulate her love for Shantanu, even though she can feel it. As a result, Shantanu has been pushing Khanak about this, and threatening her in various ways that unless she does say so, the relationship between them will become more difficult.
And another occasion is coming up, where the marriage anniversary of Shantanu's father and mother is coming up, and there is some tension between these 2 people (and there is also some tension between the elder brother and sister-in-law of Shantanu). Part of this has been building up for some time, and it grew somewhat serious such that the 2 husbands were thrown out of their rooms.
Finally Khanak promises Shantanu that she will do the formal proclamation of her love during the celebration of the marriage anniversary inside the house, in front of everybody, something that Shantanu just cannot believe. And in turn, Shantanu, does a song and dance at the celebration, using his old guitar that he has not been using college (and for which he had scolded Khanak pretty badly, asking her as to how she could dare touch his old items).
Finally, Khanak gives a long speech at the occasion, touching the lives of all the family members, making them realize their love for each other, and of course touching Shantanu a lot, and showing a number of lovey-dovey scenes between them.

Hindi TV Serial - Rang Badalti Odhani - Getting difficult for Khanak to reveal her love for Shantanu

The serial is taking a pretty long time to come to a decision on one aspect, whereby it is pretty clear that Khanak and Shantanu love each other and are very attached to each other, but they still need to get closer to each other both in terms of emotionally and physically. The way it is working right now is that Shantanu has told Khanak that he loves her, and now expects that she will do the same.
And while Khanak is very attached to Shantanu, she does not believe that she is so forward that she can easily say those words to Shantanu, making him very frustrated, since he cannot believe that anybody can find it so difficult to express their love. Khanak is also frustrated because she feels that Shantanu is pressurizing her to express her love in actual words, and not willing to understand as to why she cannot say those words.
The story is not taking this very seriously, with all this discussion and conflict happening in a very light hearted way; including Khanak loudly talking to herself all the time about how she should really tell Shantanu what he wants to hear. She makes a plan whereby she cooks some halwa, and the kaju put in the halwa spells out the words of I Love you, but that halwa gets in the wrong hands in terms of first to her father-in-law and then brother-in-law, which results in tension of these 2 gentlemen with their own wives.

Hindi TV Serials - Rang Badalti Odhani - Shaan and Khanak are now discovering each other, slowly and steadily

Rang Badalti Odhani is a relatively new serial on Star One, that was a bit slow and low viewer attention, but is now gathering pace and starting to draw more users. The serial starts with the situation in a village where the village girl Khanak is in love with Suraj and getting married to him, but tragedy occurs soon after marriage when Suraj dies in an electrocution at the factory owned by Shantanu's father (and due to negligence by Shantanu). As a result, Khanak goes to the panchayat for justice, and Shantanu is asked to make up - he first arranges for a groom for Khanak, but when that fails, and in order to save his own life, he marries Khanak (even though he is already committed to Natasha, and his mother and bhabhi are totally for Natasha, and cannot understand or like Khanak). However, Shantanu's father and brother support Khanak and see her as a way to get some sense of responsibility into Shaan.
In the beginning, Shantanu and Khanak really don't like each other, but slowly move closer to each other. However, this starts to impact Shantanu's relation with Natasha who was already shocked at this marriage; and Shantanu's father tries to increase the closeness between Khanak and Shantanu by sending them on a business trip that cannot be avoided, and away from the machinations of Shaan's mother and bhabhi who are trying to separate them.
They start falling for each other, but then comes a decision time whereby due to pressure, Shantanu has to decide whether he needs to break the marriage and marry Natasha, and then Natasha herself moves away (partly because the actress playing Natasha is getting married in October 2010); this causes both Shantanu's mother and Bhabhi to be very disappointed and against Khanak.
Now, Khanak and Shantanu are moving closer to each other, but very far more intimate with each other.
