Hindi TV Serial - Pavitra Rishta - Purvi sacrifices her marriage for getting her mother accepted

One knew that such sort of things will happen. When the serial can create such a gap between the lead pair who were so much in love with each other, then it is very easy to show that the marriage of Purvi would not happen. One of course finds it a bit difficult to understand how this can be a Pavitra Rishta when there is no meeting of minds or hearts.
Purvi has a strong feeling that her mother is not getting her due, with no respect from her other daughters, and an impending divorce from her husband, somebody whom she loves dearly. So when the chance comes to demonstrate her love for her mother, when Ovi comes to her with a message that she will accept Archana as her mother if Purvi can get Arjun to marry Ovi, Purvi makes up her mind that this is what she will do.
So, she meets up with Arjun just on the eve of the marriage, hits him with the blow that she wants him to marry Ovi, something that he had already left behind, and be happy. Arjun is totally blown with this, but under blackmail from Purvi, finally agrees and does the marriage.
Even everybody in various sets of families are shocked, with Savita probably being the only happy one. Arjun told Ovi that this will not be a happy relationship; and even her family members know that Arjun had made his feelings towards Ovi clear in the past.

Hindi TV Serial - Bade Ache Lagte Hain - Some discoveries start to happen

There were a lot of people who wanted a quick meeting between Ram and Priya, but when you look at the serial over the past many weeks, it is quite clear that the meeting would be a major point, and hence there is a lot of sense to drag things as much as possible. And so it has happened. Even though the serial showed a meeting between Ram and his daughter, something that Priya could see and also approve of, the meeting between Ram and Priya could not happen, even though they were pretty close to each other at various points. For Priya, when she sees that Ram is married to her own sister, she backs off and decides to ensure that she will not approach Ram.
On the other side, there are things that are moving closer. First, her own sister, Ayesha, learns that Priya is still alive, and gets very scared since her marriage to Ram and the stature she has got since then would come to an end. She also knows that Ram remains devoted to the memory of Priya and if he gets to know, it would cause her nothing but problems.
And then there is Rajat. One wonders whether they will indeed show a triangle between Rajat and Priya, with Ram also being there. Seems a bit strange since Priya remains dedicated to Ram even though she is not with him. Now, Rajat has learnt that the lady who he knows as Pooja is actually Priya Sharma; Priya also learns that the hard nosed businessman she knows as Rajat is also the author called Anjaan, who has written the book that inspired her and gave her confidence. In India, Ram has finally managed to ensure that the truth is out, the blame for the chemical mix-up is put on Sid and Priya is officially clear of all charges. Things would start to move at a faster pace, hopefully.

Hindi TV Serial - Kuch To Log Kahenge - Nidhi and Ashutosh have a tiff and are separate for now

As usual, there are ego clashes between the 2, where Dr. Ashutosh is not able to understand the feelings that Nidhi has towards Mallika, while Nidhi is not able to understand why her husband cannot feel what she is feeling. So, when Dr. Mallika is found in an unstable condition and Ashutosh cares for her, Nidhi is unable to understand as to how he can do that when Mallika tried to poison her and otherwise make her life hell with her accusations and actions against Nidhi.
Further, this was compounded by the tension that was happening between Nidhi and Ashutosh over having a child, since Nidhi did not want to have a child immediately while Dr. Ashutosh did not understand why there was a need for a delay.
So, things come to a crisis when Nidhi confronts Dr. Ashutosh and decides to leave the house, and then her husband, instead of doing the normal action of trying to stop her and otherwise cajole her in dropping her emotional responses, responded angrily that he would not stop her from leaving the house. They still meet at the hospital, but there is a coldness due to the argument, something that their family and friends are trying to solve, partly by creating a situation (such as in the operating theatre) where they spend more time together.

Hindi TV Serial - Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon - Shyaam sets a plan in motion that attacks Anjali again

The character of Shyaam is very difficult to understand. Earlier, he felt trapped due to his marriage with Anjali while he wanted Khushi, and as a part of the effort to get Anjali out of his live, he tries a number of attempts to kill Anjali; none of these end up working and no one gets to know what he is doing. Further, when Arnav discovers that Shyaam was cheating on Anjali and was interested in Khushi, he ends up taking the extreme step of forcefully getting Khushi married to him so that Shyaam cannot go after her. However, Shyaam does not end his tactics, and in the end, it is Arnaav who finally kicks him out of the house since he already knows the secret of Shyaam.
However, the presence of Shyaam in the serial brings in the villain factor which is otherwise not present, and hence the serial makers had to bring him back, and so they do. For some time, they show Anjali acting a bit strange and then they show Shyaam and Anjali getting back in touch, and then further, Dadi also gets in the action, encouraging this; she does not know what is happening and in her arrogance, decides that she needs to get Shyam back in the house, and this will be done when the god-bharai function is happening.
At the god-bharai function, Shyaam's plan is to create a major disaster which will bring him back in the house, and for this purpose, he steals back into the house and then plans a disaster to strike into Anjali's life - he puts glass on the floor which causes her legs to get injured, and then a wire onto the staircase which finally causes her to fall; and then the inevitable where her baby gets aborted. So, shyaam essentially kills his own baby.
