May 22, 09:35Zee tv had nothing good to offer, I started looking at DDBEDS, not bad, I love Raghu, I still do even though he cannot admit he loves his baby ji,
I tried with DAK, but that character Urmi just drove me crazy with her father and the husband wanted me to smash his face through the tv screen, things looking up in that show now.
But after a while I just fell in love with EMA, maybe because of Ragna, loved it so, even though Ragna hearts got broken, Raghav did what he did for whatever reason, I still love him. I love Kalpi, she is real, there’s nothing superficial about her. I could totally identify with her.
Kamla is another story, I understand she being a god fearing individual and doing good for others, because you do u to others as you would want them to do unto you.
But this character has gone way beyond the norms of doing good, she has crossed the limit, ok whatever she did in the last by ignoring Kalpi and always there for paki, whst is in the past is done, but, by God, now is the time to stand for and with your daughter in her Mose vulnerable time.
But noooo, Kamla the Mahaan has to run once again to paki and if that is not enough, she brought Sahil and neetu to live in her house. The ones who are the root cause of everyone’s problems, the cause for Raghav to hurt both her daughters.
There must be a limit to good ness, man, oh come on.
Oh well let’s see, things have a way of working out after all the drama and Rona dona etc.
M@hi
May 22, 09:30My take on Paki is she is innocent in all this but she is still a selfish girl. She really doesn’t care for Kalpi.
Kris
May 22, 09:40Totally selfish, that is what makes it hard for us to feel her pain and have any compassion for her.
But logically I feel sorry for her, she did not deserve this. But she is in a position to rectify that hurt both of hers and of Kalpi.
But would she do it or would she keep on insisting she is Mrs Raghav Singhania, and continue to be delusional and think that she could make Raghav love her.
If she have any selflessness in her she would quietly bow out of that marriage, leave Raghav with everything, and build her own life, like Kalpi is doing. Kalpi has absolutely nothing, but her education, and if she could make it big in the world and get everything from nothing without any help from a rich husband, then Paki can leave all her riches and start from scratch too. After all they have the more or less the same values and upbringing from Kamla

May 22, 09:54Mahi,I wrote previously that pakhi wouldn’t not give up so easily. No matter how gouri humiliated her she would hold on. But what sense does it make. She as a daughter cant stand to support her parents even knowing they r wrong. Leave them for her own selfish desires.
All she need to do MAKE some compromises WITH raghav. Look my parents did wrong to you. Ok to compensate I’m giving divorce. Give me the house n get her parents back n leave raghav to go with kalpi. That would have been a good idea lol. I really pity raghav. He is in for a long lecture from his beloved kamla maa. She just is ignoring neetu n sahil faults n wouldn’t not listen to gouri for her explanations n is bombarding raghav. Poor guy. Hope she can give him dome time to explain.
Kamla is a drama queen n although she is being a woman with a good heart she is still acting unfairly towards kalpi n Raghav. She is taking care of 2 big grown up neetu n sahil before she try n comfort Kalpi. She didn’t even think ABOUT raghav difficult childhood days n his suffering of not getting live from neither of his parents because if those evil people neetu n sahil. Yet she is showing so much care to them .Kamla character IS disgusting n annoying.

May 22, 03:47EMA’s TRPs are up, mainly because viewers are hanging in their hoping for a happy outcome of Raghav and Kalpi’s love story. Everyone loves a good love story, where love conquers all. Don’t mess this show up creatives. Other shows don’t hold as much interest anymore as, in order to extend their staying power the storys have been recycled to death, love and marriage have become a “joke”. EMA is at a crossroads too and hope the right choices are made.
It took both Pakiya and Vithal to make Kalpi laugh and forget her woes for a while and then there comes Kamla bringing in salt (the Kapoors) to rub on her daughters wounds. Their own daughter, who they hoped would helped them out, chose not to help her parents out realising that they have done some bad things. St Kamla decides that they need help and support and brings them home. Why does she overlook what they did and yet can’t understand the pain and suffering Ragav and his mother endured. Raghav’s solution and reaction for his pain may be wrong but his reasons for them are legitimate. The Kapoors did their deeds for money and power. I suppose Kamla can be ok with that.
This reminds me of how quick she was to believe Kalpi was wrong when she:
Thought Kalpi had stolen the pen that Raghav had actually given her (when they were little).
She believed Kalpi was trying to cheat when she was actually trying to get her exams remarked.
When she saw R and K dance together she thought Kalpi was making her moves on him.
She slapped Kalpi at the engagement because she thought Kalpi was taking Pakhi’s man.
A parent(especially a mother) stands by her child and when they are guilty will correct/punish them. This mother was quick to jump to conclusions. I wonder about the idea behind creating this character.

May 22, 09:12Well said Anonymous…well said.
telly
May 22, 09:49Every time I read these comments about Kamla, I realsie just how unfair she is as a mother to Kalpi. Event Gauri is now no more a hope for motherly love. Vittal needs to stand up against dumbla.
Paige S
May 22, 01:32One final comment. Tonight’s episode made my heart go out to Raghav. The poor thing. He’s trying but is entangling himself in a terrible situation he will regret. It’s already showing. In tonight’s episode he told Sammy he will give kalpi everything to make up for his blunder. Sammy corrected him by saying that he (Raghav) still does not understand Kalpi’s love, that she loves him and not his wealth. I just realized that poor Raghav is so deprived of love in his life that he does not know what love means and what it is. He thinks love is giving of your wealth which is what he wanted to give kalpi. When I realize this my heart was filled with pity for him. I was like OMG….the poor guy doesn’t know. I would forgive a guy with such mistakes and marry him.
Aw…shucks ..come on kalpi …marry the guy. He’s such a confused yet magnetically lovable man!!! The perfect Harlequin hero. Ah come on writers….we have been through a lot this month. We really want the marriage of Raghav and kalpi. Now tomorrow we have to deal with that Kamla . Aw shucks!
Kris
May 22, 07:13So true Paige, the union will happen but they can’t give it to us that easily, there will have to lots of the usual dramas, twists and turns before it finally happens, I am waiting for that day to come, I pray and hope that their feelings for each other does not change and is eternal, no matter who may try to come in between. They are made for each other. The perfect Jodi, en every way.
Paige S
May 21, 23:16For me the bottom line is this: if the writers don’t bring Raghav and Kalpi together in blissful marriage, I will stop watching EMA for I certainly don’t wish to see Kamla and Paaki. So I’m hanging in there.
sonia
May 21, 23:13Hii i dont understand firstly kamal maa she is a working woman she worked whole her life she is a nice person she have helped lots of people like escaping raghav and saving his life from sahil and neetu helping and bringing gauri to her home serving and treating her well helping chawl people always like her own family but some times she is really annoying like she is always been partial in kalpana and pakhi’s matter even after all what happened she is thinking about pakhi and her parents I think she should start using her brain because the two person she bought in her home knowing that they are not normal people they are killers of raghavs dad and also destroyed many lives for their selfish reasons and greedyness they are the people who have been manipulating her and her family whole her life but somewhere happy that they are in front of kamla’s eyes if they do anything wrong or any scheming bacause that manda is also their kamla maa will see this with her own eyes and atlast realise how bad they are.
then pakhi I know she have nothing to do with her parents crime but intentionally she have been taking always what was belonged to kalpi and that’s why she will have to suffer.
then raghav I thought by marring pakhi he will treat her badly or torture her mentally so that her parents gets effected by this but he said to pakhi that he knows she is not at fault and cannot give her the status of a wife than why marrying her in the first place he could have married kalpi that could have been the biggest torture for sahil and neetu that raghav singhania ditched their daughter and married kalpi and would have start taking revenge with his mother by slowly destroying their business because he is big and sharp businessman and for kapoors their money and power is everything.
then kalpana why is raghav calling her now after all what he did in the first place he came in her life made her fall in love with him even though she did not want to fall in love she wanted to do something in her life for her family and her aayi but because of your kindness and the love she was craving for she start loving u and u proposed her and on the marriage day u left her alone on the mandap shattering all her dreams marrying the girl who has always taken everything from mothers love to the man she loved the most plsss give her space and time because she is really broken from inside.
time will heal everything after that I hope directors don’t spoil anything and everything goes fine and start ragna’s love story with fresh

May 21, 22:22PaigeS and Kris I hope that by you sharing your personal experiences will make a positive difference in someones life.
Paige – faith, hope and love, love has entered and is having a bit of a struggle. Now its time for faith and hope to do their jobs. As long as there’s these three, we are on the path to success.
True that this is just a serial. However, as shared here, these things happen in real life too and who better to tell the tale than the “experts” themselves. My thoughts anbd prayers are with all those that find themselves in this situation and don’t know how to come out of this whole. Faith, hope and love, such powerful little words than have such an enormous impact on life.
Take heart people. You can let circumstances drag you down or you can rise above it and soar like an eagle above the storm clouds.
Paige S
May 21, 23:06You are sweet. I’m not to blabber on personal stuff but just wanted others to know that I don’t comment in a vacuum, that is devoid knowledge of what the real world is. Had my fair share of it already and I know many others had too. I heard a story a few months ago from a woman who told me about a wedding dress still hanging in her closet. She never got a chance to wear it. There are lots of stories like this. Do you know why I understand Raghav so much? Not many men, upon making such blunder would still love a girl so much and admit it. Many men become become hateful and malicious but Raghav, as irrational as he is in his thinking and action, still loves the girl so much that he still tries to win her again. People will hugely disagree with me on this, but I won’t make Raghav a bad guy. Within him is a man who loves passionately and deeply but circumstances control him. I actually feel sympathy for him. ( paaki is a different kettle of fish, don’t worry). He needs a strong woman like kalpi to help him.
I love a good and pure love story that ends with a happily ever after, whether in real life or in fiction. ( I literally threw away books with stories that didn’t end happily) lol… Raghav and kalpi had such a refreshing and pure story until the writers decide to kill it. Damn them! And I’m one woman wired for a fairy- tale ending. But hey….let’s not lose sight of EMA lol….I still hate Kamla and I just know I’m going to get very upset tomorrow when she turns up to meet Raghav in place of kalpi. She is such a humbug !!!
Paige S
May 21, 23:07*** sorry that should read ” I’m not one to blabber on personal stuff”
Paige S
May 21, 21:34Take care Phoenix…hopefully I can see the other guys online. I love reading their comments.
Kris
May 21, 21:31Good night Suni, Paige, I’m heading to bed, take care till tomorrow.
Yes Paige, they could make an Indian tv serial of my life lol,
And now maybe of yours too,
Take care
Paige S
May 21, 21:32Good night. Tomorrow. Hopefully EMA can give us something to smile about. lol
Paige S
May 21, 23:20Wait…I take that smile back because after reading the precap …I just know there will be no smiles on my face!! Why? ( I’m gritting my teeth here…..) Kamla!!!!!
Kris
May 21, 21:13Paige dear, let me tell you something about myself, I was in a relationship with my first what I thought was true love, we promised to be together all our lives, never leave each other no matter what. I promised him certain things, however, circumstances changed, misunderstandings happened, families interfered and I had to break this relationship, even though I did not want to, it was totally against my heart, I was heart broken to no end, he was devastated and did not understand my hurt and tried to destroy my character in retaliation. I did nothing against him and took all he dished out, his family pointed at my character and called me various kinds of names I am too ashamed to say, he got married just to show me he could get any girl he wanted. Big mistake, the marriage did not last. I begged him not to get married because even though I broke off the relationship, I had no intention of breaking my promise to him. I still wanted to be with him and fulfill all our dreams together.
So I had to move forward and live my life. It did not end. I did not have much moral support from family members because of how I was brought up. But I had my religious values and did what I thought was right at the time. Looking back I know things could. Have been handled differently, but things worked out great for me, and I am now in a better place that I would have been with him had we stayed together.
So my point is everything happens for a reason, we may not agree at that time but in the long run things have a way of working out for the best.
Raghav thought that he needed to tie up loose ends before settling down, remember how he went to sort our Kalpi results,
So after finding out about his mother and the kapoors etc, he though he could not get married to Kalpi just yet and settle down with this over his head. I am sure looking back and reflecting on his actions later on he would think maybe I should have gone about it a different way etc.
But in the heat of the moment he thought he doing right by that.
Kris
May 21, 21:22Situations like this always reminds me of my past.
I always think that, would they reunite or not. I know I did not and I won’t because what I have is so beautiful and will not Chang that to go back to the past. What’s gone is gone.
But this situation is so different.
Paige S
May 21, 21:23Well Kris…am touched that you can share that. I, on the other hand, was in Kalpi’s position. (and experienced some of what you also experienced). And you still want to know why I am so insistent on a RAGAN uniting? Still so in love with Raghav….lol…maybe we should get together and talk (wink). RAGNA is the only reason I’m watching EMA. Perhaps this fictional love story could complete what I longed to see.
Paige S
May 21, 21:26Kris…I am going to copy your last entry herein and keep it. It will give me something to ponder upon given that our situations are similar somewhat. You see that post- wedding disaster with Kalpi, when she tried to be strong and brave but then broke down….I was silent as I watched that, that night. Deja-vu, my dear Kris. Deja-vu.

May 21, 21:28Bravo Kris !! 🙂 . ..
You’re counting your blessing and not your curses .,.
Great point about Raghav’s wanting to tie up loose ends .
He’s a business man , but matters of the heart isn’t straightforward like business . ..
Hi Paige , good night to you , I think 🙂 . .
I’ll read your insightful comments when I have a bit more time . .
I need to be up early tomorrow , so bed time now . ..
Bye Kris , sweet dreams to you and the family . ..
Good Night / Morning everyone . .
Kris
May 21, 21:28Exactly Paige, I think I am seeing myself and want to accomplish what I’d did not bey seeing them together.
But I did accomplish same but not with the same person, confusing isn’t it.
Well I got my educated Prince Charming, even though he ain’t no handsome hunk and not rich. But comes from very wealthy and high class family background of educators and doctors etc, but he is so humble and down to earth unlike the rest of his family.
So in a way I could identify with Kalpi double, and really want them together.
Paige S
May 21, 21:11Vitthal and Pakiya – Good. Excellent performances and I was glad to see Vitthal put his foot down. PAkiya…love how you spoke up today, mate! Bravo. We need to see Pakiya get some substantial scenes and roles too! Love the guy. Nice Siddarth.
Sammy – Good. A very good friend. He is stable and understanding and I explained why. I am glad he is around Raghav because it is people like him and Kalpi that would help Raghav through his inner conflicts and change the beast into the charming Prince he was meant to be! Hats off to Sammy and even to the writers for having Sammy there as a voice of reason in the head of a man who has lost touch with his human side. I commend the writers for this.
Kamla – even science can’t explain her! I said charity begins at home and she needs to start respecting her husband and family and their feelings. It is not about her. She has a family to think of. Oh wait…she never thought of her family in the way a real family should be thought of. Paaki and the Kapoors are her family. As long as everything went her way, the family was happy. Kamla crosses boundaries and she is not conscious of it. There is nothing wrong in helping people but when you cross boundaries, that could only mean trouble. Boundaries are there for a reason. It protects and keep away unnecessary troubles.
RAGNA REUNITING – Yes, I am ALL FOR THIS! I want this to happen so badly. And like Phoenix said, Raghav has to divorce Paaki and do the right thing in order to be with Kalpi. Somehow I know he will, because he such a straight forward man.
that’s my take on tonight’s episode.
Paige S
May 21, 21:00I see Raghav in the same situation. It is not justifying him. It is understanding him and I know that well because I too struggled in making certain changes in my life. There was a time when in my view what I did and the manner in which I did things was right but others didn’t think so. It not easy to make such changes. Hence I understand Raghav’s character VERY WELL.
The scene between him and Sammy was good and brought out the difference between these two men and their upbringing. Both are rich and educated and successful but yet different. What made the difference? Their family upbringing. Kalpi, Paaki and Sammy have the same thing in common despite their different socio-economic backgrounds: family. That is what Raghav didn’t have. Hence, EMA brought out the importance of family in nurturing a child in the way he/she should grow. So don’t be harsh on Raghav. Understand him.
Paaki—I’m only sorry that she is in this mess but it is high time she learns reality. Look at it carefully and ask yourself: what does Paaki think of Kalpi? Obviously she doesn’t seem to have any feelings for Kalpi She doesn’t feel that Kalpi can get the best in life including a handsome, tycoon like Raghav. Only she (Paaki can get that!) Paaki always took away everything from Kalpi without feeling bad or being sorry her actions. And elderly woman pointed out to me today: that despite Paaki knowing that Raghav and Kalpi love each other, she still DIDN’T bow out of that marriage. She didn’t even regard Kalpi’s feelings or love. No. Paaki has to get what Paaki wants. So she stuck to the guy although the guy made it clear why they are married. So why should I pity her after the way Gauri dealt with her? I don’t. EMA writers will have to do more than bring crying scenes and sad background music to make me feel sorry for her.
Kalpi- She did the right thing in her reaction to Raghav.
Raghav and Kalpi’s love – love is a powerful and strong emotion that gets to the heart like no other. I quoted in previous comments that 3 things exist: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is LOVE. So it would not be easy to write off just yet that love between Raghav and Kalpi and I for one am holding on for them to be reunited. I know it is hard but if I were Kalpi I would give Raghav a hearing. Why, you say? I mean I totally understand what Kalpi is going through. But deep and sincere love gets us in the inner most being and isn’t something you can dismiss just like that. Especially if that love is so deep and genuine. Here is why I would meet him: on the actual wedding day despite his great blunder, Raghav told Kalpi it is YOU I LOVE and want to be with. He told her about his revenge. I found that bold and astounding that a man left you at the altar, comes with another woman and still declares his great love for you. I want answers. Only answers can bring closure to this and make me decide on the direction to take.
Kris
May 21, 21:20Yes, and u like Paki, Kalpi asked, what is Paki fault in all this, she thought of Pakis feelings but did Paki think about how Kalpi must be feeling? I did not look at today’s episode, but what is Pakis take on how Kalpi must be hurting. Did she thnk, Oh my God, I should try to reunite Kalpi and Raghav, knowing that they both love each other. Would she do that.
Or would she cry in self pity, that her biggest love hurt her, would she only think about herself and not Kalpi the way Kalpi thought of her. Even saying that paki needs Kamla at this time.
I want to see what happens there
Paige S
May 21, 20:41Our Beauty and the Beast:
On the issue of revenge: I agree with Gauri completely. She cannot be set so strongly on revenge and then soften up on Paaki. She is right and consistent. Raghav does not accept her as his wife and neither did she accept her as her daughter-in-law. I did say in previous comments that Gauri would NEVER accept Paaki as her daughter-in-law. And I was correct. Raghav also did the right thing which again was good in the writers making that consistency in his character. He was frank with Paaki and did well in telling her that we can’t share the same room. All of that is misery and revenge coming out right there. That is good. The writers stuck to their theme in both mother and son. Quite frankly, I like Gauri still and I like the way she handled Paaki. Here is why: Paaki cannot do for others what she cannot do for her own parents. Neetu might have been a bad person, but if you look at it and you will see that Neetu was still nice to her in other ways to make up for her poor moral standards. Yet, Paaki as a daughter calls her biological mother by her name and is always hostile towards her. She never showed her any kindness and now wants to show others that she is caring. That is what you call hypocrisy.
Raghav – as I said earlier Raghav is man of deep internal conflicts. He sees things in black and white and as business. Before you bash him ask any man on Raghav’s personality and you would be surprised to learn that they would understand Raghav a lot. A man thinks and reasons differently from women in every area. Do we not see this in our homes, schools, offices, etc every day? One situation, two genders and two completely different reactions. For all of his life Raghav handles everything, including his personal life like a business transaction. Kalpi changed his world and his views but time didn’t allow that change to be completed hence his thirst for revenge taking over. Now we will continue to see Raghav as a man of conflict, torn between revenge and the love he wants so badly to experience but never got for most of his life. This deprivation of love is what made Raghav so cold and heartless and unable to see love and relationship and things like that as important. I wish to draw your mind to the episode where Sammy and Raghav had a similar argument like they did tonight after Kalpi broke the glass set and messes up Raghav’s house. Sammy understand Kalpi and relationships, etc because he comes from a loving background with his parents. Raghav didn’t.
Now, do you remember the story of Beauty and the Beast? Well, it started out that the Prince was mean, cold-hearted man that is rude and hostile towards people. He was a prince and had great riches and everything but still didn’t know to love. He didn’t have such a loving upbringing and that made him they way he was. When he was unkind to an old lady one cold night, she turned him into a beast. In other words, she made his external appearance to reflect what his inner being was: a beast. A cold-hearted, monstrous person. And the spell cast on him would be broken when and only when he LEARNS TO LOVE and have another PERSON LOVE HIM IN RETURN. That would be evidence that he has changed. And if you remember the story, when Belle, the fair damsel came to the castle, he was hostile and beastly towards her at first. The beast had conflict in his feelings from the man he is and the changes occurring within him that Belle was causing. But after lots of struggle he learnt to love.
Kris
May 21, 21:00Hmmm, good comparison Paige,
But like every action has an equal and opposite reaction, so will Raghav actions have effects on all those around him.
I however don’t like Gaurie to be nasty towards Paki, she don’t have to accept her as her dil, but she could at least be civil to her, she is not at fault. She need to be different and make Paki see that she needs to get out of Raghav life. Not by shouting at her but by explaining to her in a civilized manner, like the civilized educated woman she is.
The circumstances made Raghav whst he is today and he need to sort out this turmoil he is in before he can have a chance to make back with Kalpi. I really really want that.
Their romance makes me remember my own young love and stolen moments and all that.

May 21, 20:20Well, just finished watching this episode and read all of your comments. Fair and nice. There is a bit for me to pick out on everyone’s comments, of course, all of which I truly respect. to some who may not understand my position and take on EMA and some of its topic, I wish to restate the following:
My view of marriage is far different from what I write in these comments. From the very onset I was paranoid with the writers, Zee and EMA creators for the entire wedding fiasco, really because I hate that they desecrate marriage which is close to my heart as an institution established by God, and I share the view that it is “until death do us part!” I have bemoaned the horrible attack on marriage and if you guys go back to some of my earlier comments on marriage and its portrayal in EMA (and all other Indian serials for that matter) you would see evidence of my disposition.
So why did I take a different approach? It’s simply. EMA is stressing me out a great deal. Sadly, the writers have no regard for marriage and continues to poke fun at it. Commentators on this website would also know that I have asked repeatedly for a direct contact to these writers to let them have it and to tell them to lay off the mocking and trivializing and desecration of marriage. My true views on marriage is shaped by my religious convictions on what God has established it to be. And I will always respect that and hold on to that and no serial, whether American or Indian, will get me to change my views on the sanctity of marriage between one man and one woman.
With regard to EMA, I had to take several steps back, several pushing my head into the freezer to cool off and several deep breathes and accept the fact that this is a serial and therefore I need to assess the serial as just that…a serial and a fiction that is poor on details in many areas and lacks realism in many other. I had to relax and begin to assess EMA as story that is being told. Therefore, it would be unfair I guess for my to dictate to the writers what to write. It would be my job to assess them on well they developed the story they are presenting. Therefore in all of my comments I try to minimise the moral stance given that the writers don’t seem to pay attention to this, and I began to assess the story on its strengths and weaknesses, character development, plot development, how well (or not) they stuck to their theme, etc, etc..
So I decided to concentrate on analyzing the serial on what the writers present to the viewers and how. It would be insane for me to comment on them to be moral and righteous when the serial is anything but moral and righteous in what it portrays. And this goes for all other serials in India and the US and wherever else.
Having established these to be my personal convictions, I hereby give my views on tonight’s episode but I wrote all of this so that people would understand why I comment the way I do, and why I take certain stand for/against a particular character. For the longest while I have been commenting on EMA on strictly its storyline and how it develops it with respect to its character and plot. But I tossed the realism out the window a long time. (Admittedly I try to bring in some moral discussion when it warrants it).
And guys like Phoenix and others, if you go back to some of my earlier comments during this month, you will see my position. Like in an earlier comments I gave the grounds for taking back Raghav if I were Kalpi (like him not having any physical contact with her etc). Anyway now for my take on tonight’s episode.
