I know you're not watching IB currently (good for soul), but from TT's posts it seems like there is an interesting discussion on parenthood. Moving away from that, I was reminded of Gauri faking her pregnancy last year. I remember Mais had written a really good essay on why Gauri was justified in doing what she did. What is your opinion on that whole issue? (I'm asking now, because I forgot to ask last time)
Hi friend,funnily enough I watched those parenthood related episodes because twitter stanned them like crazy and I was curious. But that’s not what you’re asking; you wanna know what I think of Gauri’s fake pregnancy (Mais’ post for reference purposes) if I read that right, yeah? Phew, yaar, bohot purani baat hai aur mera yadaasht thoda kamzor ho gaya hai.🙈From what I remember, I was not a fan of Gauri going down the fake pregnancy route because I personally have a problem with that trope in general, but I understood where she was coming from. I think it was more of a spur of the moment decision to say she’s pregnant, for rather selfless reasons, compared to e.g. Tia’s fake pregnancy and her evil scheme aimed (at that point at least) for self-enrichment purposes only. Gauri’s pregnancy was more like a white lie… a white lie that had a huge emotional impact on Omkara, like the anon in Mais’ ask said, but I agree with Mais that you always, always, aaaalways have to look at the circumstances, matlab Omkara and Gauri’s relationship at that point of time. Omkara hated to be in the same room as Gauri at that time, absolutely detested the sight of her and has told her so almost every chance he got, while Gauri was saving his family’s ass right and left. Excuse her for being thoooodi si inconsiderate of Omkara’s emotional wellbeing for a second. Plus, on a general level, if a dude is actually stupid enough to fall for the “you were too incluenced to know what you were doing” thing, (I think that’s what happened, right?) then I can’t feel bad for him whatsoever. Nope. By the time a guy is trashed enough to not know what he’s doing, meaning who he has sex with, there’s about a 1% chance he’s biologically even still able to have sex at that point of time. If he’s blacked out and actually doesn’t remember, then it’s rape, which would open another can of worms entirely. That’s one of the reasons why fake pregnancies always piss me off. It just doesn’t work like that, and if you fall for it then by all means, grow some brains or at least don’t act like the victim that didn’t have anything to do with it. I hate this trope and who’s to blame in which way, I really do… but to come back to the point, and without wanting to justify faking a pregnancy in any way,  I see why Gauri did what she did and can’t really hold it against her.

I know this seems far-fetched but I am really hoping for a grand, lavish Rikara wedding once our jathadari hippy accepts Gauri as his wife and their relationship just for the sake of it. Also, no Shivika-Rikara combined wedding (since a remarriage will definitely be the route that CVs will take once Shivika get back to their senses). Rikara should have their own wedding so the two couples can shine separately and can be given the undivided focus and attention that they deserve on their wedding functions!!! Gosh!!! I am going to be so happy seeing my babies happy and them actually, willingly getting married and enjoying the process :') Yeah, I know I am reaching but a girl can dream, right?

Few thoughts on the so-called on past week’s IB track:
(A sort of disclaimer) In a country where the top court acquitted the accused because a/c to the judges, the ‘victim did not struggle enough’ and ‘raise an alarm’ (Mathura rape case, 1979), speaking up about sexual harassment is nearly impossible. Representing this issue in popular fiction is thus, a huge challenge. What a survivor is going through, what are the repercussions/consequences of speaking up, etc is too difficult to portray in fiction. 
One recent film which revolved somewhat around this issue was Pink. I really liked that film, ‘cos as a Delhite, that movie, at least in some parts, was quite relatable. The movie starts out with 3 girls emerging out of a horrific scenario one night, and deciding to forget about that night. The fact that these were three independent, strong-willed, ‘urban’ girls who chose to suppress the incident, instead of reporting it; made it believable.  Because the question is: who is going to believe them? The immediate reaction of girls was that we’ve escaped, so lets try to put the night behind us. Its only when the perpetrators do not let the girls forget, and actually threaten/intimidate them to apologize for protecting themselves, that the girls are forced to take action. 
Coming back to subject here, portraying this issue with sensitivity is not something one can expect from Indian daily soaps. Upar se if its Ishqbaaaz to toh aur sone pe suhaga. I mean, Gul begum thinks that by making her heroines wear jeans she is presenting a ‘modern’ and ‘progressive’ female lead on television, so suffice to say that this woman has the least credibility in Tellywood to portray an issue as sensitive as MeToo. But madam ko shauk chadhta toh kya kar sakte hai. 
Bringing it back to the plane of IB, I don’t get it that why do the CVs choose Gauri as the poster girl for their so-called “empowering” tracks? Be it the 2rs version of English Vinglish, and now this. 
The problem is that Gauri is an unreal character. I dunno what Gauri was supposed to be, but a/c to me Shrenu and Atif had significant leeway/freedom to portray Gauri the way they wanted to. Because everyone watching DBO was aware that they are watching the ‘Gauri Kumari Ssarma’ show. DBO is probs the only Gul show, where the OTP or the AYM male lead is not the highlight of the show. Gauri was the ‘hero’ of the show, and I’m consciously using the term ‘hero’ here because she got to do everything that the ‘heroes’ in Tellywood do. Gauri had almost become like this Batman-sort of character who is a fighter, she makes mistakes, falls down, but always gets up and defeats the villains at the end.  It was almost as if Gauri was not allowed to accept defeat or fail. 
To then make this Gauri, the subject of such “empowering” tracks, the CVs have to significantly change her character sketch and introduce artificial insecurities or other traits which do not set in well with her original character sketch. 
Despite my misgivings, I gave in and watched a few parts of this track, because my friends really praised it. I didn’t mind the Tuesday and Wednesday bits where Gauri is assaulted. The direction was off though, and it looked like some bits were cut because they overlapped weirdly. If Atif or LM had been directing the scene, it would’ve probably looked better, but then it would have been too scary for me to watch. 
My issue started with the Thursday episode (or whatever I saw of it). The fact that Gauri decided to keep quiet about the incident was not OOC, because DBO starts on the point that the whole village chooses to believe Kali Thakur instead of Gauri who they’ve seen grow up in front of their eyes. Omkara, the objective outsider in this plot, also chooses to believe the worst of Gauri. No one listened to or believed Gauri that time, and can well explain why she would think that no one will ever believe her. 
What annoyed me a lot, was that Gauri decides to let the perpetrator go scot free. Because this undos all the development in Bareilly track 2. [A short break here, I’ve seen a lot of fans comment that Kali Thakur did not actually molest Gauri unlike the superstar, and I feel people totally missed the danger KT presented. KT wanted to make Gauri his sex slave for life (and for his brothers too). I’m not comparing KT and the superstar, but it irks me that people really underestimate KT’s villainy]. Anyways, so by the end of Bareilly track 2 Gauri is not scared of KT anymore. Yes, she wants to escape him, but this time its a do or die situation for her. Because Gauri understood that as long as KT’s alive she (and her mother) would always be in danger, she cannot run from him forever. Which is why Gauri stabs him to death. IMO I think Gauri fully intended to close KT’s chapter there, because she looked like an avenging angel in that scene, it was not the fear she present in the first Bareilly track. 
For that Gauri, to now let the superstar go unpunished is out of character. Gauri would not speak up about the incident but she would let the matter rest. DBO Gauri would find some way to expose the creep for what he is, and in this case, take help from Anika and Bhavya, because it would be too much for her to face him so soon after the incident. 
For the sake of the track, the CVs had to significantly alter Gauri’s character sketch (like they did in the English track) to ‘fit’ the popular perception of a survivor of sexual harassment as portrayed in television and movies. Here I feel, Shrenu had to make a performance choice. There are moments were the real Gauri slips in the scenes for example a particular teeth gnashing and eyebrow frown expression which is peculiar Gauri expression, I really can’t explain it properly but there it is, and one sees that when Gauri traps the superstar in a carpet and escapes. 
Also, there was this particular dialogue which a lot of people had interpreted as “victim blaming herself” but I don’t think it was that. Victim blaming would have been if Gauri had said that its her fault that she is the fan of such a person or she was foolish to ask for a selfie. But what Gauri said that she should have been smart enough to smell him out, because, obviously Gauri being more intelligent than most should be the first one to smell a rat. 
If I analyze the track ignoring this character issue, there are still some false notes. No doubt Shrenu acted well (when does she not?) but the entire track seemed hollow. We have all the “checklist scenes”: the villain pulls the dori, tears the sleeve, the survivor screaming in half-darkness, trying to wash off the incident under the shower, sitting in darkness in the ‘typical’ pose depicted in posters, etc, but it was a conscious attempt to ape such tracks from movies than to come up with something original. The one shot that i did like was Gauri’s handprints on the painting of the woman, when she was struggling. That was symbolism done right, and it was organic. 
What really ruined the track for me was the whole sting operation bit. The idea behind MeToo is to have the victims speak up and find support in each other. If they had to go with the sting operation bit, then why not have Gauri devise a plan to expose the devil like she exposed Buamaa? The CVs altered her character sketch for the sake of the track only to have Shivika do what Gauri would herself have done in DBO. 
The only reason for the sting operation bit was to take close up camera shots of Surbhi. Surbhi is a stunning woman offscreen but I hate it when writers almost abuse the actor’s physical charm just because the actor possesses it. For example, how the makers of Jodha Akbar showed Akbar practicing sword fighting half-naked on the terrace of the palace, only because Hrithik Roshan has amazing abs. Like it was sooooo unbelievable that Akbar, the Mughal Emperor, would be training like this in the open unprotected, that too shirtless. This smacks of lack of integrity in the writers. 
After that the whole track lost meaning. And then we have the obligatory ‘everyone praising Shivika’ and Shivaay giving a lecture at the end, effectively murdering the entire set up for the track, which was precarious in the first place. So, this ‘track’ might have checked a lot of boxes, but at the end of the day it just came across as tokenism, for me.

Hello, welcome back! Now that Rikara story is kinda over, it seems weird to ask this but still. Do you think Om and Gauri are a good match? I mean, I love them individually as characters, GKS is actually my fav FL of 2017. But I don't think they are suited to each other. Like if Om was not married to Gauri due to circumstances, I don't think Gauri would love him. Like I can't imagine Gauri falling in love with a guy like Om, though he's really nice. What do you think?
heeeey, thank you! :)
i agree with you, i can’t think of a plausible scenario where Gauri and Om would’ve naturally fallen in love with each other if it weren’t for Kali Thakur’s shenanigans. pre-KT Gauri probably wanted a tough Salman Khan type Hero™, not someone as passive/angsty as Omkara.but that’s why i love them so much as a couple!
usually on TV, love just happens to the OTP, but with Rikara the process was a lot more deliberate:
Shivaay and Anika were in love much before the naam, khoon, khandaan stuff got resolved, but Rikara mainly progressed every time Om’s worldview (the main conflict) was challenged. to simplify, Omkara would essentially fall more in love with Gauri each time he willingly questioned his own ideology. Gauri, i think, fell for him every time he behaved in a complex way, forcing her to look at things from his perspective (i.e. he loathes me, but loves our baby/respects my mom/fights for my honor?).
almost all of Rikara’s separations were a choice, not a matter of circumstance (unlike Shivika’s divorce for e.g.). butthey still decided to come back to each other (he even kidnapped her with consent lol). the universe (or villains) didn’t conspire to make these decisions for them, they did themselves, especially post-DBO.
personality-wise Omkara and Gauri weren’t the perfect match initially. they challenged each other way too much, they didn’t understand each other’s perspectives, and approached life very differently. sure Dadi is all about that takkar ki ishqbaazi, but lbr with them it was too much takkar and not enough ishqbaazi. Omkara had to consciously change himself to be the right person for Gauri, and so did she. they grew together as people in ways that they wouldn’t have individually and now finally they seem in sync. they’ve willingly GROWN to become each others’ soulmates, which is why i think they are a perfect match now.
eternal love doesn’t just magically appear one day, you have to actively nurture it. that’s what Gauri and Omkara have done. and sure, Omkara might not be the Hero™of Gauri’s dreams, but homegirl somehow manages to pull out moments of herogiri out of him anyways, so it’s not like she’s completely deprived of her old fantasies ;) haha

Can everyone stop bribing Queenie by taking Shankarji ka name?
From rudely throwing her out of his house
To seeking permission to stay in her house
Omkara Singh Oberoi has come a long way
Queenie is like 0.00000000% impressed by Dilpreet
“Kal ki tarah sofay pe so sakte hain..”
HOMIE HOL’ UP!!!
WHAT?!
OH C’MON!!
It’s one thing for the fandom to assume the emotions of the characters
It’s totally different to fill in missing scenes! :@
Rage aside
LMAO!
Queenie doesn’t want him in the house at ALL!
HIS FACE!!
HISSS FAAAAAAACEEEEEE!!
I’M CRYING!!!
“Hain ji?”
HAAN JI xD

I loveeeeeee how Queenie just doesn’t let him get away with any reference of apnaiat xD
“Apna ghar?”
“Uuh….aapka toh apna ghar na jee!”
“Nahin, kiraye ka hai.”
BWAHAHAHAHAHHA!!
Oh oh oohh senti scene
Gauri got all transfixed seeing Dilpreet’s face
I think I can get behind Gauri not recognizing Dilpreet as Omkara
Dillu is OVERTLY jolly.
Omkie couldn’t digest food without scowling.
But look at apna Omkie getting his hopes up at the idea that she got reminded of him :’(
Oh! I really really love Queenie’s no-nonsense attitude right now
“Yaar phir shayad yaad nahin karna chahti na tum?”
Omkieee T_T
I know it’s all YOUR fault
But damnit aise karega toh mera dil kaise na naram hoga L
OKAY THIS BIT!!
He held his ears as he watched her leave
In an apologetic gesture
And then just started doing his little dance
Like he KNEW this wasn’t the way it is supposed to be
MUMMAAYYY! T_T
Okay back to Dilpu
GHUSSS gaya hai character mein
Akele mein bhi he ain’t ditching his Punjabi
“Pani do ghantay aur machar 24 ghantay”
Oh you entitled asshole xD
I cry at how they have established ke Omkara only drinks baraf wala paani :’)
So Omkie not being able to drink warm water just feels so..apna apna
At least SOMETHING is properly established with him
LOOK AT HIM PERK UP HEARING GAURI’S NAME
AND DURR SE KITNE PYAAR SE NIHAAR RAHA HAI!!
Okay Dilpu dances a lot
Laughs a lot
AND TALKS A LOT
Queenie isn’t impressed with any of that
I miss my mother’s food L
Wait..kal?
They are in same clothes
Did the day change?
What is going on?!
Waise what was with his random “sorry”
But that silent acknowledgement of his
That even if he apologizes to her all her life it wouldn’t be enough
T____________T
“Oh ji vaada hai…dulhan hum le jaenge~”
DID HE SING?!
It’s slightly random but alkdaskdjlhsakdjhaskjdlahskdljsahkjsa
I loveeeeeeeee how they are showing him wear a proper pagg
They are SHOWING him tie it
IB is the last show I’d have expected these details from
Omkie you can just close the door -_-
Totally random but right now my hair is tied in the same pony style as Omkie xD
Urgh why are these scenes so randomly disjointed
Khair
As long as Anday aren’t interrupting them
Queenie got pricked by a needle
And jaan Omkie ki chali gayi
DUFFER YOU LOST ALL YOUR RIGHTS TO WALK TO HER WHEN YOU SEE HER HURT! :@
Phone utha ke “Aaho!”
Method Actor Kara xD
AWWW SHIVAAAY!!!
“Gauri se mil liya tu?”
“Main toh milgaya..wo nahin mili mujhse ab tak.”
YAAS OMKIE YAASSSS
BE MORE HURT
IN YOUR REALIZATIONS
KE QUEENIE KYA KYA SEHTI REHTI HAI!
Waise it didn’t take him long to realize just how khuddar Gauri is eh?
HOW AREN’T YOU REPENTING AT HER FEET YOU BEAUTIFUL ASSHOLE?!
Okay this Shivika/Rikara paralleling is something I can get behind ^_^
WALLAHH OMKARA!!
HIS SELF REALIZATION IS ACTUALLY KILLING ME!!
“Sirf dil nahin jeetna..usse itni khushyan deni hain jisko wo haqdar hai. Maine aaj tak usse sirf ansu diye hain lekin ab..ab main uski zindagi mein usse sirf khushyan hi khushyan dena chahta hoon.”
Leave me here to die pls.
Annndddd who is this annoying lady again?
Yups. SHAKAL se SAAS lag rahi hai J
“Furniture toh bohat purana lag raha hai..aur sasta bhi.”
“Koi baat nahin aunty..toote ga nahin.”
MY QUEEN!!!!!!!!
She is at the threshold of patience with this woman xD
But look at her handling her with class and dignity :’)
LOOOOL Omkie at the sideline throwing daggers at Sasti Saas xD
Not uski saas…Richa ki saas
OMG ROKAA!!!
Shaadi ka ghar
Please be a proper shaadi ka ghar!!
BWAHAHAHAH!!!
RiKara ka SYNC wala eyeroll at Sasti Saas!
I LOVE IT!!
Okay I SOO did not imagine this
Gauri looked like she was going to snap and Omkie got all attentive noticing that
Very tiny moment but I’m sure it was there
Waise I wouldn’t blame Queenie for snapping
She REALLY is trying her best to act civil
My Ek Jhaanp Wali Queen :’)
Yaaas! Omkie HATES seeing her like this!
But boy what do you mean you don’t understand why she is doing it?
Normal shaadiyan, unfortunately, aisi hi hoti hain.

Here's a fun thing to do - name 1 (or more;) bollywood movie au for each of your otps! Basically which b movie's plot would you love to see them in (or would suit them most!)
Hi Bunnie!
How have you beeeeeeeen? Hope life’s being good to you!
Verrrrrrrrry interesting question. Took me quite a bit of thinking (it’s a brain-fog kinda day), and here’s what I came up with so far. I’m sure I’ll keep thinking about this more, and add to the list!
Shivaay/Anika:
Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke
Gender-reversed Pyaar Toh Hona Hi Tha
Khoobsurat (2014)
Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.
Shivaay in the Alvira role, Anika in the Ricky role! (Mallika/Vikramaditya Thapar as their made-up love interests!)
Dil Dhadakne Do
Shivaay in Ayesha Malik role, Anika as the scrappy one-who-got-away journalist Sunny Gill
Omkara/Gauri:
Gender-reversed Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
Socha Na Tha
Riddhima as Om’s longterm girlfriend he thinks he’s in love with. Anika as his sweet and loving but bewildered and frustrated Bhaabi.
Jab We Met
Cheeni Kum
Just something about the vibe of the film suits them and their mellowness a lot!
Queen
Gauri meets Om somewhere on her solo travels through Europe; they meet back up in India months later and start a relationship! (Bonus: Svetlana in the Vijaylakshmi role!)
Rudra/Saumya:
Band Baaja Baaraat
Wake Up Sid!
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania
Arnav/Khushi: 
Swades
Madhumati Bua as Arnav’s childhood nanny he wants to take back with him to the U.S.
Sumo/Shravan:
Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na
Hum Tum
