May 14, 10:14I too don’t agree with Raghav’s choice of revenge but remember this character has a purpose and revenge doesn’t mean acting morally. I too did not agree with this marriage to Paaki as a way of revenge but that’s my opinion. (and i hope this marriage is revealed to be fake). Raghav’s mentality is different from mine and he knows what he is doing.
I like the comments of everyone in pointing out the difference between the two families. And that is exactly what the serial is. Gauri is not Kamla. Raghav is not Kalpi. Their entire upbringing and mentality differs. We all know in real life these two classes of people are poles apart in every way. The both depict real life.
For the rich, their actions and beliefs are different and they will be led or driven by their own beliefs. Often times money, materialism, deals, profits, revenge, etc are part of the rich mentality. But these change over time. The same applies for Kalpi and her family. The poor goes more on the side of values because they have not material things to take up their lives. In falling in love with Kalpi, Raghav begins to see the difference. And he was sincerely trying.
I don’t agree with what he did to Kalpi and there is no justification for it. But I do understand the man even with his poor choice of action. Raghav loves Kalpi but love is new to him so when confronted with revenge, his initial personality came forth and that was to seek revenge. The animal in him came out rather than being who understood relations. Again, after 20 something years of being a cold, hard businessman that formed him, we honestly don’t expect changes after two months of falling in love with Kalpi. Do you guys remember the episode where Kalpi messed up Raghav’s house when planning for the party? He was mad with her for messing up his house. She didn’t see something wrong with it. I did. I sided with Raghav on this. Raghav threw away an entire glass set because one glass was broken. Whereas, Kalpi said they would have mended the one glas and use it back. That is the difference between the two classes. So what is happening now in this wedding, is the difference is coming out again.
Now, if Kalpi was there on the night he and his mum was talking, I am sure Raghav would have listened to Kalpi’s advice and act accordingly, but she wasn’t there.
Now before people bash Raghav, let’s understand him. He is a man. A business tycoon who has dealt with cold, hard people all his life and is formed by those things. A man is not like a woman. Does not think like her. Is not emotional like her. Is not led by his emotions but by rationality. I saw the writer bringing that out in the conversation between Raghav and Sahil when he asked Sahil to sign the papers. He said businessmen are not emtional.
Now look at the different between Neetu’s response to signing the papers and Sahil’s response to signing the papers. Neetu the woman looks at her daughter’s life and connives about getting even richer (the irrational and emotional woman). Whereas, Sahil sees his property going down the drain and not his daughter’s marriage (the rational man who thinks “what does my property have to do with my daughther’s marriage). He was being a man in his thinking and it was different from Neetu’s.
Isn’t this the same for Raghav? He is a man afterall, and he is led and driven by how a man sees things, thinks and believes. And his action is not always emotional. We women are emotional and led by our emotions and our emotions are not always right. And emotions change often too. it depends on the prevailing circumstances.
So I won’t bash Raghav. I think if we look carefully, the character of Raghav is coming out well with all shades: good, bad, understanding, sometimes not understanding. etc, etc.
I don’t like the marriage jilting part, but I honestly do understand the character and what the writers are attempting to do.

May 14, 09:47Well I thought the same thing too Kris. His mother never told him to marry Paaki. I don’t beleive Gauri will accept Paaki as her daughter-in-law. We have to see what unfolds because Raghav does not know that it was the Yadhav who looked after his mother all these years and was looking after her up until he wanted to marry Kalpi. I beleive Gauri will be shock to learn what Raghav did and who he hurt. So this is to be revealed too.
That is why I believe that Gauri will be the one to unit Raghav and Kalpi and family. She is the common factor between these two having full knowledge of circumstances at both ends.
Paige S
May 14, 09:42I hear all the views about Raghav’s revenge. I do do not agree with his choice of revenge. But he knows what he is doing, although i beleive there will be some regrets later as our hero begins to see life differently than only from his eyes. The word revenge says it all. It is more than wanting to fire someone or get back at someone. It is personal and it is out to inflict suffering and prolong that suffering and take delight in seeing that person crumble and suffer gradually over a period of time. And it works best when you hit the core or the things of what your ememies love the best.
Revenge is best served cold. It seems Raghav knows this principle well.

M@hi
May 14, 08:11Hello everyone. Wow, reading all of the views you guys put forward I couldn’t stop my self from saying that they were all so beautifully done and exhibits many brilliant minds.
kris
May 14, 08:18Yes indeed Mahi, but all these comments just putting the show higher up on the charts, but they will not look at the contents of the comments whether it positive or negative, wish the cvs would check all comments on all the sites as see what impact they have on the viewers, instead of looking at the amount of comments that sending it higher in the ranks.
They are of the notion that this track has gotten more viewers because of the comments, but little do they know that there are silent viewers and readers and when shit happens people open their mouths.
M@hi
May 14, 08:27You are right. But aren’t the TRPS based on people viewing the soap only?
kris
May 14, 09:16It is also in the number of comments too, even though it may say differently, but over time I have been observing the show on top always has the most comments, whether it be about the show or people just chatting.
M@hi
May 14, 09:22I know the websites does theirs differently but for the TRPS I think its by how may people views it. Not sure if its also on the views here.
kris
May 14, 06:35Paige I must agree with you in your previous comment below about the acting skills of certain actors. Like you I am not a SRK fan and I am one of AD. and my observations of both same conclusion as you.
I loved Ashish as Raghav from the beginning even though some think he did not fit.
He has that rugged yet gentle look totally fit the role of Raghav.
Even if the writers feel that by marry Kalpi so early in the serial, they could have written a bit different instead of all the hype of the marriage etc. they could have continued a romance until the revenge,
I know most won’t agree that maybe it could have gone on or even left Kalpi at the mandap, but not marry Paki, not turning up for the wedding is enough to shatter Kalpi and her family but marrying Paki put the nail in their coffin.
M@hi
May 14, 08:18Exactly Kris. If they didn’t want Kalpi and Raghav’s marriage to happen this early they had so many other ways to do it. Seems like they were very excited to pair Pakhi with Raghav.
Like someone said Raghav got time to make big preparations to fool Pakhi but he didn’t even think of informing Kalpi and her family. He stood her up.
The most interesting part for me is to see how Kalpi handles all of this. The main point is Gauri never told Raghav to extract revenge the way he did. He chose it. That’s not befitting the character of Mr. Raghav Singhania.
mrs-rajat-tokas
May 14, 06:28Raghav is sexy and all but did he really have to marry Paakhi to get his revenge? He could’ve gotten Sahil fired from his job because that would take a great toll on the whole Kapoor family! I think that when Sahil signed the property papers Raghav should’ve divorced Paakhi and marry his true love Kalpi.
M@hi
May 14, 08:19Yep, but silly writers didn’t do that. They want us to pity Pakhi.
Paige S
May 14, 00:06Another observation: do you remember when Kamla opposed the wedding between Raghav and Kalpi because she put Paaki first? The next day what did Kalpi do? Kalpi said she loved Raghav and will never love another but him alone, but she cannot hurt or go against the one who gave birth to her i.e. her mother. I was annoyed with her for taking that stand,shouting from my living room ” what’s the matter with you girl? Marry Raghav! Don’t be influenced by your mum!” But she was influenced by her mum and won’t marry him until her mother consented to the marriage. How did the viewers react to kalpi then? Did they gave her right? Hailed her as virtuous for obeying her mum? Raghav didn’t say a word on Kalpi’s decision.
And now Raghav found himself in the same situation, and he reacted similarly. His mother made him swear on her that he would take revenge on the Kapoors. His mother put him in fix as Kamla did to kalpi. ( I know the consequences for each person’s decision was different) but let’s face it, the principle was the same. So let us not attack raghav too much. We can’t crucify one and not the other.
Paige S
May 14, 00:11Both of them were obeying their mother. One didn’t want to marry because her mum wanted something else, and the other didn’t pursue the wedding just yet because his mother made him do something else. Same thing. See, the mums — both of them — are responsible for this stalled wedding! Not raghav, not kalpi. So this all the more makes me route for kalpi and raghav marriage. There is hope.
shiny
May 14, 00:34i too think the same kalpi is blasting raghav for hurting her parents but what abt raghav sahil killed his father and tried to kill his mom too.even sahil tried to kill gauri when she was wth jadhav family .

May 14, 03:30I dont watch hindi serials but just happened to come across EMA couple of months ago and got hooked. Thought it was a beautiful love story and enjoyed every episode until last Friday when like many other viewers was left feeling shattered.
I know its only a show, but several things still bother me like when Raghav did not turn up at the venue for the wedding, why did somebody not go looking for him. When he finally does turn up all the guests including the Panditji have left, only Jadhav family and Manda waiting for his arrival even Sammy his right hand man had gone missing.
Raghav knew exactly when Paki returned from Paris and could contact her n make all speedy arrangements for their marriage, yet he never thought to call Kalpi or her family to explain or call off the wedding.
A chawl in Mumbai is teeming with people and even a squeak will draw a large crowd, yet Raghav is being thrashed by Vitthal and not a soul ventures out to check what is happening. Strange.
Nothing can compensate the humiliation and betrayal felt by Kalpi on being left stranded at the alter and that too by a man who claimed to love her and pursued her relentlessly. No explanation or reason offered will assuage the hurt felt by Kalpi.
For me the writers or whoever have really ruined a beutiful story and made a mockery of human feelings and will now make everything into a sorry sordid affair. They can still redeem it by making the last couple of episodes into a nightmare Raghav was having (wishful thinking on my part). Anyway irrespective of what viewers feel the writers etc of this show will go their merry way dishing out thier own brand of bigoted, perverted and sadistic views of life, love, marriage, revenge etc etc.
ButI have the option not to watch this crap and will exercise it. So goodbye EMA, RIP.
kris
May 14, 06:22But his mother did not tell him to marry the girl for revenge, but your point is valid. I was so angry at Kalpi too for saying that even though she knew her mother always puts Paki before her
kris
May 14, 06:24Joyce you have indeed said what everyone here is feeling and thinking.
M@hi
May 14, 08:25@Paige S: as Kris say he wasn’t instructed to deceive Kalpi. I really don’t think Gauri should be happy for what he did.
@Joyce: I really couldn’t have said it better than you did. Your comment is very true.
Phoenix
May 14, 08:57I agree with you Kris , that Gauri did not ask Raghav to marry Pakhi . He chose that method for attaining revenge . He chose to put revenge b4 love , and he doesn’t deserve any forgiveness . When one makes a decision , like he did , they must be prepared for the eventuality and reality if their choice . .
He must know that , losing Kalpi forever , is a possible outcome of his actions .
Kalpi only chose to do what any loving daughter would do .
Despite her mother’s unfair treatment of her , Kalpi respected and sought her blessings b4 moving forward in life . A mother’s blessing is very important . She did the right thing and respected her mom .
Kamla did the right thing and sought God’s guidance , and that matter was resolved with God’s guidance .
However Gauri did not care to ask her sons position nor guide him wisely . She was all consumed by her angst and instead of asking Raghav to proceed wisely with God’s blessings , she guided him onto possible self destruction ; in order to exact revenge Raghav is on a path to ruin innocent lives as collateral damage . She should have been filled with overwhelming joy after having found her lost son .
I understand Raghav’s anger and hatred , but , it’s wrong for the writers – and many writers show this same thing – to have a hero being filled with vengeance to the point that he has lost his moral compass , and can’t difrentiate what is right from wrong .
Hi Mahi 🙂 . .. I watch this show because my aunt likes it and is always talking about Kamla 🙄 … but it’s never been a favourite of mine 🙂 . ..

May 14, 09:43Paige very observant n that’s true we r being baised o be sided ONLY not seeing raghav predicament ONLY emphasize on kalpi humiliation. But raghav is torn between the LOVE of his life n the promise his mum made him take to avenge the kapoors n indeed kalpi had made the decision THAT what her mother consent that what she will do. So raghav was put into a predicament as what he should take up as priority but marrying Pakhi was no sign of starting a revenge unless the marriage paper is fake. N he don’t show up at neetu house fir the matrimonial night.
devya
May 13, 23:44Hope gouri come to save raghav n can help to explained. So sorry for vithal. His love for kalpi is vast. Great father.

May 13, 22:45Mr. Raghav Singhania, sir! Have u read ur viewers comments? The are giving your character a good (and justifiable) thrashing. U will also notice from the writing that these are intelligent people telling you that EMA writers, producers and director have destroyed your totally lovable character. Raghav might be on TV, but Ashish you’ve been acting long enough to know that your viewers will ascribe that character to u in real life. Its going to affect your career. What will u do when EMA flops (and it will if u keep those writers). Raghav, why would a traditional Indian girl like Kalpi who refuses to even kiss u before she’s married want to be with u after you’ve left her at the altar to be with another woman…a woman who always ends up with everything she has ever wanted? EMA won’t notice a loss of viewers right away because we’re all still clinging to the hope that none of this is true so we keep watching and hoping. But viewers don’t want to see Raghav with Pakhi…it turns our stomach….so little by little you’ll see the TV sets being turned off or the channel being changed. I for one am now very interested in Ek Hasina Thi. I think its a good show.
Paige S
May 13, 23:36Sammy, aasish is a terrific actor and I do believe he will do very well in different roles if he gets them. I do want him to get such roles. Let’s encourage him. I think watching him act different shades of his character is interesting. It shows that he is bold and a versatile actor. Not like Shah Rukh Khan (sorry fans of SRK, I don’t like him). SRK does only one kinds of role that is the lover boy role. But he bombed miserably in the film Don, a role vastly different for the lover-boy role. He didn’t have the look, nor was he able to portray that cool, bad guy personality. He couldn’t sell that role well. There were several lesser known actors that I know could have pulled that role better. Ajay Devgan is an actor I respect because he does all kinds of role. He’s a very versatile actor.
Aashish has a chance of showing his acting prowess as Raghav. The lover boy, the cold-hearted tycoon and I hope the action man. I am looking forward to some fighting scenes in this serial. Let’s encourage aasish. He’s doing a good job. Kamla was badly bashed by viewers but let’s face it, the actress Shilpa did a good job at her character, don’t you agree?
Paige S
May 13, 21:50Going back to my hopeful self. I know i sound crazy but I hope this marriage with Paaki is fake. I mean it will be a great humiliation and revenge to get all his property and then say: ” I never married you.” And Shahil and Neetu will say “But you married Paaki in court.” And Raghav will say,” when you paid to get Kapli failed why couldn’t I pay to get a fake marriage.”
I want Raghav to reveal the marriage was fake in front of Vitthal and others so they can forgive and trust Raghav again.
Hi guys, I want you to see the writers trying to clear up their own mess. They did well to make Vitthal upset and beat up Raghav. That’s great and I loved that. Vitthal your acting is superb. Gosh, I felt your pain as a father. That palanquin made me cry when Vitthal said he bought that for his daughter, what am i to do with it now?
Don’t worry Vitthal, Raghav will come through and will give your daugther such grand wedding that you will lift your head up high and walk.
Well done Vitthal. Well done. And guys you see, the writers made this part good for us. I think it was a fitting way to express his pain. Good that the writers at least did this part justice.
Let’s give them a chance. Raghav is still to make it clear that Paaki’s dad, Shahil was the one who made Vitthal go to jail. Raghav you will be redeem! We are still routing for you.
devya
May 13, 22:12PAIGE I like reading all of your comments very frank have great VISION n filled with HUMOR. It makes me laugh sometimes. Good justification fir raghav to give to kalpi parents. If neetu can paid to get false paper then Raghav AFTER the severe beating hope he got his senses right n start the first episode of REVENGE. Fake marriage paper to begin with first. But poor pakhi will have to go thru the pain of her parents wrong doings. Don’t mind but let kalpi n Raghav be together. Very nice suggestions PAIGE KEEP POSTING CIMMENTS U R BRIGHTEN UP THIS PAGE.
Paige Summers
May 13, 23:23Hi Devya, you are very insightful too. I enjoy your comments a lot. As well as Kris and Fuzee’s too. I want to believe that there are several more twists to this story. I tend to look for the clues in the story. So there are many things yet to be resolved. There is Gauri’s identify to the Yadhav, vitthal’s wrongful jail stint and grandma falling down the stair. I want to see how these develop. If kalpi has to be strong after that situation so should we. We need to be strong to see what comes next…lol…
fuzee
May 13, 23:24Excellent comment Paige enjoyed reading it . Yes u are right .Altough we are throughly dissapointed with Raghav for hurting Kalpi an her family. But being the romantic fools that we all are we want Ragna to be together and forever. Just to send a clear message to EMA team by now u guys should have realised the overall sentiment and lets get one thing straight .
EMA IS RAGNA AND RAGNA IS EMA
we are not settling for anything less….
Paige S
May 13, 23:43Beautiful message to EMA team Fuzee, just beautiful. “EMA is Ragna and Ragna is EMA” we are not settling for anything less. Atta, girl !!!!

Please help me with a link or email or something. Thanks.
Paige S
May 13, 21:02I will say it again that I hate how the writers messed with marriage and relationship as if there is nothing else upon which a good and thrilling story can be written. But the damage has been done and now we can only hope that the writers do read these comments and change.
And call me stupid, but I am still hoping that somehow, Kalpi and Raghav are married soon. That shows the in all of us there is an element that wants to see good prevail. I and many want to see this happen. But how the writers accomplish this I don’t know. I hope that Gauri becomes the person to make the difference and unite the two. I see her as the only way. She will have to explain what happened and why Raghav did what he did. She is a mature person.
I know there are many aspects of the story that get on our nerves but I would encourage you to keep watching the show because of the terrific cast and let us see how the writers develop the story. Keep writing and commenting for you do make a difference in the story (though I cannot explain what happened to the writers when we all ask for the wedding of Raghav and Kalpi and got the opposite).
I know I bashed them over the head enough but I am willing to give them a chance to see how they come through. So I would likewise encourage you to treat EMA as the drama it is and look at it to see how it turns out.
And now for the fanatic side of me: Please writers, we tolerated the craziness of Paaki and Raghav please don’t push it too far. Hope Raghav has nothing further to do with her. And I hope the conflict now created between Raghav and Kalpi’s family does not keep them separated. Fans want to see Raghav and Kalpi marry. Still clinging to hope! Please don’t pair either off with any other. It is still Raghav and Kalpi all the way for me. I am still looking for the “once upon a time, there was a prince and an poor girl…..and they lived happily ever after”.
devya
May 13, 22:52U r Absolutely fantastic in your comments. Yes I still think fairy tales exist
Paige S
May 13, 20:48The viewers have gotten hooked on the characters of Raghav and Kalpi, mostly Aashish and Rachana. It is these two that make us watch the serial, for aside them them, EMA is the same as the other serials, am I not correct? And we watch it because we want to see these two highly loveable people/characters come together, no matter what happens in the story. If the producers should replace Aashish or Rachana then EMA will flop because it is these two people act their roles extremely well. And please, don’t ever change them. They are brilliant actors and I want to encourage everyone of the cast to keep acting. You guys are wonderful people and you do an excellent job.
As I looked at EMA carefully tonight, I begin to see the drama and story coming out. I am so sorry that the writers messed up the relationship between Raghav and Kalpi. I didn’t like this at all. I agree putting obstacles in even a relationship is ok but not to the extreme at which Indian writers present it.
There is no doubt that Raghav loves Kalpi more than anything. If Kalpi didn’t have that influence on him then Raghav would not have pursued Kalpi and become side-tracked from his mission to take revenge. I guess he found in Kalpi what was missing in his life hence he pursued her. But he fell in love (which he didn’t cater for and started to make changes). Thus, the character of Raghav starts to suffer conflicts within himself. This is natural. In all fairness, we cannot expect the characters to change completely in such short time. Now that isn’t realistic. Isn’t this the same that happened in Jodha-Abkar? The king was a mean and horrible man but starts melting after meeting Jodha, but he had conflict within himself that does not always make him do the right things always. And he continues to have such internal conflicts. And it depends on who is surrounding him that impacts him. But he is always in conflict.
In Raghav’s case, when Kalpi is around him he is influenced in one way. Now that his mother is around him, he becomes influenced again. The stone-hearted, cold and revenge-oriented Raghav takes over rather than the lovey-dovey Raghav. So if the writers intend to present this struggle with Raghav, honestly I understand it. Although I still hate that they brought in the part of Kalpi’s wedding and make them suffer.
But one thing remains sure: Raghav loves Kalpi and wants to be with her. But because of the conflict within him, he sees the relationship with Paaki differently. It is a business deal which he may annul after getting his revenge. He told Kalpi that tonight, didn’t he? He wanted to clear things before marrying. But let’s not judge him too harshly or the even writers at this point. Remember, who Raghav was at the inception. A cold and revengegul man with a mission. He won’t understand everything about good relationshps and love. He told Kalpi that many a times when he pursued her and even on the night of the party (in the room where she wore the red sari, he told her about the things that made him who is). Everyone was after him for his wealth and people were out to destroy him so he became a man who loved not one and trusted no one. Kalpi’s upbringing is different. So we cannot always expect Raghav to fully understand and accept Kalpi’s purity to his hardness given their different circumstances. So I don’t judge Raghav harshly. But again the development of the story was weak at the wedding point, even though I understood what the writers are trying to do or achieve. For Raghav, he was bent on marrying Kalpi, but meeting his mother (another poorly developed part of the script) forces him to back-peddle and put revenge first.

May 13, 23:59Hope his mother comes in to rescue him from the beating n let the yadhav know her true identity. Then his mission of REVENGE can begin. Left pakhi to dream on n live in illusions n fake love don’t go back to the kapoor house.CAN’T wait to see Neetu reaction when Raghav don’t show up. I know we acted like emotional fools sometimes lol. But that was our excitement of seeing raghav n kalpi together n we bombarded the the production team knowing they r professionals. However I think majority of the viewers didn’t like the twist.WE were anxiously awaiting the marriage to happen between kalpi n Raghav. But as u Said previously if money paid for false results fir kalpi then the same can be done fir the false marriage paper n raghav mission of REVENGE will start WITH the first blast of fake marriage. Good luck raghav to succeed on your mission of REVENGE.

May 13, 20:22Finally, I can comment having just finished watching tonight’s episode. My comments are directed to both VIEWERS AND WRITERS/EMA TEAM, so here goes:
Let me start by saying that I would like for you guys to continue watching EMA. Hear me out. In all of my life, I have not for very good reasons looked at Indian or American soaps because they are generally negative. (And I wish to state that I will continue watching EMA only because they have a brilliant cast especially Aashish/Raghav and Rachana/Kalpi. But after this, I am never again looking at another serial). The difference however between Indian and American soaps is the writing; the first(Indian) is highly illogical and foolish, doesn’t make any sense whereas the second (American) makes lot of sense logically despite its negative themes. EMA is a serial after all where all the characters will portray different shades, personality, attitudes and behaviour given their purpose in life. They are not supposed to be moral always, act or think morally, though we all would love to see them moral all the time. I guess this depicts the real world we live in. Even in the holy books we find people with godly characters failing miserably, but there is always grace and redemption for such people.
In the Indian industry as well as in Hollywood, negatives, immorality, sex and everything lewd sells. Foolishness sells. In real life soap (whether Lux, Palmolive, Dove, etc) all sell. That is why these serials are rightly called “soaps” because soap sells! We all can’t afford to bathe in milk and rose petals like royalties of the olden days. We are stuck with soaps which all of us can afford (lol). If we want to see real change in serials then that change has to come from the writers and producers. Unless that change comes from them, we would never get a good, high quality serial. We will continue to get the Ekta Kapoor serials where infidelity, blackmailing, gossips, bitching, bride swapping, revenge, being left at the altar, etc are the main plot of the story. For the records, I have no respect for Ekta Kapoor. Her movies and serials reveal the mentality and personality of that woman and she is rude and perverted. I don’t look at any production from her.
So we can pray for these changes and then we can continue to write and comment to networks, production houses, etc to have their writers and production team stop attacking society’s sacred institution such as marriage, and virtues like love and then relationships. I mean I am not against a serial having such things inside (because they add interest to the story and doesn’t make it boring) because we do live in the real world after all. And none of us would watch a movie where everything goes smoothly. But when all and I mean all of the serials are depicting these things, then it is a cause for worry. I for one am prepared to make a direct appeal to whomever about these things as soon as I find the right agency to whom I can complain.
With respect to EMA, I am hugely disappointed. It started so well and I, honestly, didn’t mind the plot which is about revenge. What irks me about it is, it is poorly developed. All the time I was assessing the writers’ skills. With all honesty, the writers were doing well and I simply don’t know what happened thereafter. EMA has turned out to be the same as the other serials. Same themes. Same blackmail. Same dumping of the one he/she loves. The same marrying the one you don’t love. The same wrecking of marriages and destruction of pure relationships. The same nonsense. My greatest disapproval of EMA and I am angry about it is the serial ,like all others continue to attack the institution of marriage, love and relationship. It makes me wonder why these writers and producers are doing this! It is on this ground I dislike EMA. But if I were to rate it realistically on standards adjudicated to story-telling and movies, then I would rate it high on its ablity to generate suspense, interest, alter the moods of viewers, taking viewers on edge and wanting to see what happens next. All of these make it a successfully serial.
However, I need to be fair and honest about the serial. If the writers wrote the story to accomplish certain things, then I would not interfere with their storytelling, except to say just lay off the mocking of marriage and love. If the character of Raghav is to seek revenge, then fine, go right ahead and write the story of how he accomplishes this. Even, if he wishes to get back his property by devious means. Go ahead. It is a story. If the character of Raghav is to show instability at different stages in his life, then fine. That’s ok with me. I understand that in story-telling. A character starts a certain way, meets someone and then changes, but then he is in conflict with his initial self and purpose and the changes happening to him. It happens to us in real life. No human being changes overnight or even within months. There are conflicts within.
So I understand the instability of Raghav, though it is a shame they are experimenting with his character given that they never presented his character as instable in the first place.
(to be cont’d)..

May 13, 19:59Just by marrying kalpi would’ve destroyed neetu’s ego and would have enraged her and sahil. raghav didn’t need to marry pahki in order to gain revenge.

May 13, 18:38This is ignorance n stupidity to the extreme. The director n writers who is promoting this serial is just making huge mistakes n is going further n make this serial incompetent making the characters in this show exhibit their stupidity. raghav first detest marrying pakhi his words becomes useless he is not a man with words anymore he have mix emotions coz when he was set to take out revenge n Sammy told him about LOVE. He diverted his mind from revenge n start experiencing love. Now that he found true love he ditched kalpi on het wedding day to go after revenge what silliness how can he compensates for his wrong doing.
Then he involves Sammy parents.They stood for him that shows he have o respect fir elder people. Then they said his mum loss her memory with o be treatment she remembered everything to tell him. R these writers n director normal people making this show a JOKE.
devya
May 13, 19:02The biggest revenge he could have taken is marrying kalpi n that would have been a big defeat for neetu her pride n ego should have melted. With raghav character who would want to trust him n his initiative. Sammy n his parents r involved he disappointed them he consent Sammy on most of his ideas why dud he left him out on taking this big risk of revenge on the kapoors If going to the city to take revenge then that should be his ulterior motive not to hurt n humiliated a humble ,simple loving family. Nothing was wrong he fell in love n kalpi made him a change person but why portraying a mix n double emotions. It shows his words have no value he can loose his identity by being a deceit. If he had married to kalpi he would have her confidence n cooperation in achieving so much more like how she made him got the bid over the kapoor.Raghav shouldn’t vow to take out revenge at the expense of the poor humble people n pakhi. With his mix n unpredictable attitude he can’t be trusted. The character Raghav is portraying presently is meaningless.Filled with deceit improminent untrusted.They made him looks like a man without values. The twist in this SHOW take away all its quality uniqueness.It shows so much negativity. I think to bring back his show to appreciation the director need to make kalpi a highly professional person who can execute authorities n let Raghav stoop to her for the humiliation n hurt he caused her n her family.

May 13, 19:36Raghav mum remembered about everything but forget THAT kamla rescued her. She didn’t remembered nothing about kamla n her family’s kindness. They ONLY bent on revenge n corruption. Forget about gratitude n kindness. SUCH a devastating episode production team need wider creativity visions to make these shows likeable appreciated.

May 13, 17:23Paaki just loved raghav and tell me guys is love a crime? Will she bear all this just because she’s in love with raghav? Not fair!
Raghav and kalpi loved each other so they should be together but raghav spoiled everything
devya
May 13, 19:12I think because his mind is not positive n he I’d portraying double personalities. His aim was revenge then he fell in love n on his wedding day to kalpi he vowed to take revenge again what nonsense. HE DIDN’T EVEN THINK BACK WHAT HE SAID TO KALPI PARENTS THAT HE CAN’T MARRY PAKHI IF HE DIDN’T MARRY KALPI. SO WHAT HAPPENED WITH HIS WORDS IT BECAME INVALID. WHY R THE WRITERS MAKE HIM PORTRAY SUCH A DECEITFUL ACT. IT SHOWS HE US UNSTABLE. HE DON’T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS. I KNIW LOVE ALWAYS TRIUMPH. BUT IN THIS SERIAL LOVE WAS DEFEATED. Such stupid drama. The best revenge was to marry kalpi n that would have reduce neetu pride n ego.The twist made this SHOW so stupid.
