Hindi TV - Qubool Hain - Ayyan and Zoya get married by mistake

As usual, when something is going right, things have to go wrong. However, even though Qubool Hain has reached some high ratings, it is starting to get boring with the same sequences running again and again. How can the same person be involved in everything, and the same thing keep on happening again and again, as it seems to happen in the serial from time to time. So, Tanveer keeps on appearing in the serial again and again, and even though she is caught every time, she is free to do what she wants on every occasion. In the current episode again, Tanveer has been blackmailing Imran with the truth that is the father of her baby and if she reveals all this, his life would be ruined. It is without doubt that this marriage to Najma would be over as well. And Zoya has started seeing something suspicious with the presence of Tanveer nearby, and Tanveer is increasing this suspicion, in the plan of getting Zoya caught so that Tanveer can actually kill Zoya (and in fact, viewers would not have guessed something like this). Finally Zoya, without telling Asad goes off on a plan to catch Tanveer and lands up in a deserted hospital, caught by Tanveer. She is in deep trouble right now. Tanveer has her goons tie up Zoya to a bed and then after some lectures, injects her with poison. However, Zoya is able to run away from there but with the goons chasing her.
On the other side, Ayyan and Humera are in the car, happy since they have just taken the opportunity to get out of the house and go for some shopping. But soon Vikram is after them and tries to catch them. There is a lot of fighting, and finally even though Ayyan is injured, they manage to get away from there. The goons are after them, and they take shelter in a community center where a mass marriage programmer is underway. Zoya has already reached there, and everybody can predict what will happen next. It is like a procedure that happens step by step. They wear marriage dresses so that they cannot be seen; then Ayyan leaves Humera so that he can see whether the goons have gone away but is seen and has to move quickly. And they both sit opposite each other as a part of those getting married, and when the maulvi asks them Qubool Hain, they are both preoccupied and say something that seems like agreement. And lo and presto, they are now married.
Once this happens and the maulvi congratulates them (and Ayyan has already been recognized), they are in a state of shock. They tell each other that is not it, and also that they will not tell anybody else about this marriage but already their state has changed so much that people can see something is different.
Ayyan goes back home with Humera although she can see some change in him; he tells the others about the encounter with Vikram and they can also see that he is hurt; and then it is revealed that he is already married and when asked, he confirms. On the other side, there is the marriage of Imran and Najma along with the marriage of Asad and Zoya, and the wedding of Imran and Najma happens (Zoya is unable to reach in time to stop the marriage). However, Asad is very angry that Zoya had again left in the nick of time, and she has to now tell him what happened, and he will do the right thing, which is ask her to live with this marriage.

Hindi TV Serial - Bade Acche Lagte Hain - Another leap, but some tragic scenes before that

The serial goes serious from time to time, but it has never got as serious as is happening now. The question of misuse of the strong anti-rape and anti-harassment laws do come up from time to time in the papers and in court cases; the serial took a case like that but has not really taken the question through the whole discussion. In addition, for some time now, it was clear that the serial will go through 2 time-leaps, with the first leap happening for a period of 9 years and with the serial staying in that period for a time of around a month or so, and then moving for another time leap for a period of 7 years.
During the prom night, when Pihu had agreed to the question by Varun of changing the prom dress and being intimate in the room, that was the night where Priya had caught them before something could happen. And since Pihu was scared of what would happen to her, she screamed that Varun was trying to rape her; and this made Priya ballistic. She anyhow believed very strongly in her daughter and had fought with others who tried to tell her that Pihu was making a fool of her. Priya in turn called Ram, who was equally angry and got the police to come and arrest Varun. Varun in the meantime was denying that he was forcing anything, that Pihu was agreeable to whatever he said. But given that Ram was a powerful businessman and was very angry, no one was willing to listen to anything that Varun or even his family was willing to say.
However, Ram was persuaded by Neha and Saumya to come to Neha's house and listen to a few of Varun's friends who told him that things were not what he was made to believe. That there were so many phone conversations and messages between Varun and Pihu and that everything was with the consent of both of them. Ram came back to his house disturbed and wanted to have a clear conversation with Pihu about this; he did push back once or twice at Priya when she tried to butt in, but in the end, there was also the impending trip to London for a business deal that had to happen and he had to leave. In the meantime, a lot of further bad things were happening with Varun and his family, since his brother and sister were forced out from their schools, and they had to face a lot of bad name. They came in and scolded Varun a lot about what he wanted to do, and left him very disturbed.
In the end, Priya wanted to lighten the mood of Pihu and so took her phone to try and call her friend Geetika, but found that she was reaching the number of Varun; his brother took the phone and pleaded with Priya to help. Normally Priya would have done something, but since she could see that Pihu had the number as Geetika but it was actually Varun, she decided to confront Pihu. Finally Pihu admitted to all this, and Priya was aghast at what had happened since it meant that Pihu, in trying to save herself, had also sent an innocent boy to jail. Pihu did strike back to some degree, saying that it was continuous pressure from Priya and Ram which finally caused her to break free; Priya wanted to tell Ram everything but was not able to reach him. She called the police station and told them not to take any further action on Varun, but he had committed suicide because of the enormity of what all had happened. When driving further to the police station, they had an accident because of which Pihu did not suffer much but Priya went into a coma which has now continued for 7 years. There is the marriage of Neha and Vikram's daughter Riddhima happening for which there are a lot of festivities.

Hindi TV Serial - Jodha Akbar - Jalal leaves for war with Sujanpur

The serial is right now at a very critical stage. It has been made to appear that the murder of the unborn child of Jalal, inside Queen Ruqaiya, was caused due to dhatura. This dhatura was inside the last items that the queen ate, as a ritual done by Jodha and her brothers in happiness over the pregnancy. Jalal is furious over this, and decides that since it has been shown that the death happened due to the dhatura, and the dhatura was inside the item that was given by Jodha and her brothers, it is clear that they caused the death, and hence they need to be punished. Accordingly, in his rage, he orders the arrest of Jodha and her brothers and tells them that he will punish them with their life, and this will be a horrid death, since they will be burnt to death.
They are called before the Diwan-i-khas, the place where the emperor holds court before a few select people, and there when the trial is about to start, Jalal wants to short-circuit all the procedures that are supposed to be a part of the trial. As a part of these procedures, they are allowed to have their say and do whatever they can to show that they are not guilty. In this case, Jalal tells everybody that he is dispensing with a trial since he believes that they are guilty; and everybody is horrified at this, since it is assumed that the emperor is the representative of Mughal justice, which can be strict but is fair.
Finally his own mother steps in, although Jalal is not happy. She tries to point out the obvious, as to how everything is tasted before anybody of the royal family can eat it, and how earlier as well, food that Jodha had prepared for him had become spicy; that she believes that there is some kind of plot against Jodha and her brothers. Jalal says that he will postpone the trial and execution for 10 days, but at the end of which, if there is no innocence, then they will all be burnt to death. In the meantime, Jodha's father has come there to announce the impending marriage of another daughter, Sukanya, who will be married into a smaller kingdom, Sujanpur. The Amer king gets a cool reception and then hears about what is going to be the fate of his sons and daughters and the crimes for which they have been arrested.
In a twist, a farmer comes to Jalal for justice and claims that his family has been hurt by some intruders, and they are being patronized by the rulers of Sujanpur. For Jalal, this is feeding his revenge, since he now plans to setout to destroy Sunjapur and their rulers, and tells Raja Bharmal that since Jalal is his son-in-law, he needs to support him rather than any future in-laws of his daughter, and tells the sons of the Amer king that they have to join him in the battle on his own side. And in a further twist, the tilak for Jalal as he is leaving is to be done by Jodha, and she does do it. Jalal is all set to take revenge on Jodha and her family, and all this is part of the revenge.

The serial gave no respite between one story and the next one. So RK just finally managed to get over the issue of Sultan through a thrilling kind of event. For quite some time, RK was under a lot of threat because of Sultan. In fact, Sultan had threatened Madhu that unless she left RK and came to Sultan, he would kill RK and should could believe it since Sultan did seem like that kind of person. So, she started acting strange, finally telling RK that she was actually for Sultan and hence she wanted a divorce. And of course Dipali was very happy since that meant Madhu would be out of RK's life and she could again get together with RK. RK was shocked at what Madhu was telling him, but over a period of time he realized that there was something wrong in all this and something is strange. He refuses to give her a divorce, and then finally Madhu admits the truth to him. In the meantime, Radha is also getting very confused about this strange behaviour of Madhu and is getting angry at her.
Now, they make a plan. This will have to be the finale plan, where they need to ensure that the police catch Sultan before he can escape again, else both Madhu's and RK's life will be in danger. And even though they know that Dipali is up to no good, she remains in the house and continues to be in touch with Sultan, revealing whatever she knows. Finally the scene shifts to a celebration where the plan is that Sultan will get hold of Madhu and finally the police can find Sultan and they can end up everything. In the end, even though Dipali tries to help Sultan, they finally find Sultan and RK is able to shoot him after Sultan has managed to shoot the police officer in a limb. The police accuse Dipali of working along with Sultan, but Madhu and RK manage to save her by saying that they believe in her.
The next problem that occurs is when a producer, Amar comes to their house when they are having a pooja. The pooja gets interrupted because the producer is very angry about his film not yet completed because of RK being so busy in other things, and then accuses Madhu of diverting RK by having an affair with a gangster. RK is very angry at that, and the producer says that unless RK shows up early the next morning, he will destroy RK.
So, the next series of events is about RK facing problems as a superstar; Kuku is back as the head of the Producer's association and works with Amar to ensure that RK is blacklisted and no producer or other cine worker can work with him. RK dismisses this and states that since he has the love of the fans, nothing can happen to him and says that he will produce a film himself. He launches a film with Bittoji helping to provide financing for the film. He ropes in a leading lady played by Anita Hassandani, but unknown to him, she has been in touch with Amar and she will no longer play a role in his film. In the end, Madhu will play the female lead and will become a superstar because of this movie.
