Kumkum Bhagya 7th January 2022 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
The Episode starts with Prachi telling Rhea that whatever papers are there, nothing can harm me, as I was not in my senses when I signed on it. She tells Aaliya, Pallavi and Rhea that you have spiked my drink and took my signs, so these papers are not valid in any court of this world. She says it is asked in court, if you was in your senses when you signed on it. Rhea asks her to give the papers. Prachi says how my signatures came on these papers and says even court shall know how I signed, and tells that her weapon is like her marriage, which can’t survive infront of her. She says whoever wants to destroy my identity, their own identity will be destroyed. She says she will do the same thing with the papers, which is done with the useless papers. She is about to burn it. Aaliya says stop, nobody has cheated you, these papers are genuine. Prachi says I am taking Rhea’s test, lets see if these papers pass the test. She burns the papers keeping on the lamp. Aaliya shouts Prachi. Dida smiles. Prachi says it is burnt, your truth can’t pass this test, and your dream to throw me out from here, became just a dream. She picks the ashes of the papers and blows on Rhea. She says I don’t care where to throw it? She says she is done with today’s drama and says their lie can’t stand by her, and asks her to accept her defeat. She says just like I have destroyed your fake papers, I will wipe off your illegitimate relation with my husband. She asks her to get habitual to defeat, as Prachi Ranbir Kohli came in your life and says everything will happen, whatever has not happened. Dida smiles and appreciates her in her heart. Ranbir thinks she is too good and she is right, she doesn’t need my help, she can do anything alone.
Rhea comes to Prachi and says wow, what a performance, it was good entertainment, burning the papers and then picking the ashes and blowing it. She says the talk was big, that Judge will not accept the papers, and tells that these papers were genuine and raised a question mark on you. She says you was trying to expose my lose, but your expression and anger were telling it is not true, and says if these papers are not important, then you wouldn’t have burnt. She says you burnt it, as it was raising questions on your identity. She says what you said that these papers will not survive, and tells that you are on Survival mode. She says you need some strength and that;s why did this. She says you have lost the test series and says tour of Kohli house is over. She says you can be kicked out for signing these papers. She says I don’t need fake confidence, I get confidence from this family. She says there was not original papers, but Xerox copy. She asks what do you think that I will roam with the papers, on which I got your sign by cheat. She says it is kept safely in the locker, and says you can’t even see or touch it, with anyone’s help too. She blows on the ashes and says it is your dreams ashes, which you burnt it. She says you was not going from here, and asks her not to call NGO woman, as they will help her, as she is ghar wali and you are bahar wali. She says you haven’t signed on just admittance papers, but also on divorce papers, even if Ranbir don’t sign on the latter. She says Buji and Ranbir are with me. Ranbir nods his head. Prachi thinks he might got egoistic as she refused for his help. Rhea asks if she will go by herself or after thrown out of the house. She says I will speak to my lawyer and goes. She goes and looks at the papers, and says Prachi did a big mistake by signing on these papers, and can’t stand infront of me. Shahana keeps eye on her. Rhea says it is like my marriage certificate and I feel peace. She says Prachis life is locked here, which will open on my sayings. Shahana hides. Rhea thinks she will not tell anyone about these papers and doesn’t want anyone to see it.
Prachi comes to her room and finds Shahana sitting. Shahana tells that she had gone out through the window, but the main gate was closed. She tells that she saw how she was fighting and burnt the papers. She says something went in her eyes, and went from there. She says then saw Rhea keeping the papers in the locker. Prachi thinks of Rhea’s words.
Ranbir tells that this is not right, I don’t know how Prachi signed and tells that Rhea will stoop low to defeat her. He says if I help Prachi, then I will lose my family. Dida says but you will get Prachi. Ranbir says Prachi herself don’t want my support. He says she tells me clearly always, but I get happy as she is near me, we are in the same house but we are not together. He says if she don’t love me, then it ok, but I will not force her to love me. Dida says she loves you a lot, but doesn’t express it. He says she is hiding something else from me, and also her feelings. He says until she tells me what is in her heart, you will not tell her about my feelings. Dida says it will be too late then. Ranbir says she shall decide, what she wants to do. He asks her to promise that she will not tell anything to Prachi. Dida promises him that she will not tell whatever they talked, but she will express her feelings to her. Ranbir says I am getting late for office.
Precap: Shahana asks Prachi to give some idea and says yours hands have Hoshiarpur’s name and Rhea’s control. Prachi says she is not getting any idea. Dida says she has an idea, though it is strange, and says Kohli house shall have a raid. Prachi asks raid? Rhea opens the door and find IT officers (Prachi and Shahana in disguise) coming inside.

Total copy of ksk. It seems like makers have run out of ideas.
But Prerna was way better than Prachi and Anurag was way better than Ranbir. Prerna had a strong character and wasn’t submissive like Prachi. It’s just the plot that’s same not the characters.
@Ruhi
Prerna wasn’t submissive unlike Prachi because the actress that played Komolika wasn’t a – what’s Akituster’s word for it ?? , yes , the favoured pet – Komolika’s actress wasn’t the favoured pet of the makers’ unlike this Rhea’s is.
And since the makers lacked the brain and imagination to make Rhea more smart and cunning and manipulative on her own , the characters around her , all of them including Prachi , Ranbir , Pallavi etc had to be made dumber to make Rhea appear more smart and cunning.
Even now when Pooja HAS to leave the show because she has no option , I don’t much faith that her exit will be by actually exposing Rhea , all her wrongdoings , because apparently DP of KKB stands on single leg of Rhea as a villain , out her and makers don’t have imagination to drive the plot without her acting as a villain
The creators need their favorite Mugha to flood the whole screen. This is why they shoot a bunch of meaningless scenes making everyone a hero stupid.
lol the precap is a copy of Disha and Purab. 😂😂😂🤣🤣
I’m loving pranbir story
I don’t want abhigya to be back soon
I want our queen ekta k to create a sports or musical drama for shabir and sriti jha at 8pm on zee tv
Or remake of bengali series mithai
Hahaha the precap is too funny and good😂😂
Although they’ll fail like Prerna in KZK2. But I’m sure Prachi will fight even more after this. She’ll start to expose Rhea. Rhea your days are ending in the Kohli house get ready🥳
There could be a surprise and Brachi’s plan might succeed.
Initially Ranbir turned from his family to keep Prachi; but not he rather not support Prachi so as to not lose family (in his eyes). But if I recall, his family throw he out in the first instance; but are not doing the same now, so why is it so hard to support Prachi? I guess because everyone hates her he should follow suit. But why didn’t he do so before fleeing the mandap. The only thing hope for, is that Prachi exposes this affair and other plots as Rhea/Alia’s doings, reveal Pallavi/Vikram’s true face to the society, then walk away with her child. This environment is way too toxic for her to fathom the thought of staying.
After all this is over and Rhea is exposed, I really hope Prachi leaves this toxic environment and focus on her baby. She should single handedly raise the child herself and keep those animals away from her child. Even better if she moves out of India to another city.
Totally agree best revenge is to expose Rhea and the rest and walk away with her baby and raise it alone just as she was raised alone and got the best upbringing she should do the same. Plus it would be the best revenge against her evil in laws to be denied the most precious thing in the world
You guys we should give a chance to Pranbir/Ranbir he will learn all the truths and get very regretful for ever doubting Prachi for a BIG allegation or accusation. We should always keep pur hopes up!!
@Anam Jiwani
Ranbir’s redemption better be a good one though. I think Prachi will leave the mansion after Ranbir finds out the truth but she will leave from his life forever and focus on her child whilst Ranbir will follow her everywhere and will not stop earning her forgiveness. I know Prachi will eventually forgive him but it shouldn’t be an easy one. I am waiting for Pranbir’s reunion and their new life with their child but Ranbir should suffer first. He should also take his wife and child away from the Zoo and go back to their old home where they were living so happily:)
You get it this is so true
The Kohli family deserves a daughter-in-law like Maya who tortured them so much. Had it not been for Prachi, Ranbir would have been married to her.
They deserve to have that witch Chea as their daughter! Let them adopt her and she can torture them for the rest of their lives. Whilst Pranbir move on and live happy with their baby 🙌

KKB YOU MADE ME LAUGH BECAUSE YOU HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD…PALLAVI DOES IN FACT LOOK LIKE A HAMSTER; I ALWAYS FOUND SHE HAD A WEIRD LOOKING FACE BUT COULD NOT PLACE WHO OR WHAT SHE LOOKED LIKE …YOU GOT IT JUST RIGHT SHE DOES LOOK LIKE A HAMSTER LOL HAHAHAHA AND UK LIKE YOU FORGOT SO LET ME REMIND YOU THAT PRAGYA AND ABHI ARE IN A COMA …THAT IS THE LONGEST COMA EVER FOR JUST A LITTLE SMOKE INHALATION…MAN THESES SERIALS ARE UNBELIEVABLE THESE WRITERS COME UP WITH SOME STORYLINES THAT MAKES ONE WONDER WHAT THE HECK THE WERE THINKING OF LOL
Lol KZK2 phir se 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think a plan won’t work because Prachi and Shahana’s sudden disappearance from a house will make them suspicious especially since they live in the same house.
Why have they turned Ranbir into such a disgusting and inconsistent character ??
Even now when it’s akin to life and death situation for Prachi , Ranbir will close his eyes to all that’s happening and withhold his help just because Prachi didn’t explicitly ask for it ??
Just yesterday he told Rhea that he will never support her in her backstabbings and cheating of other people , but now he knows how Rhea conspired against Prachi , he doesn’t think that , staying a mute spectator is as good as helping Rhea ??
And since when his love for family became more love for Prachi ?? Didn’t he think about it before marrying her two years ago ??
And , he feels happy that she is around him , even while hating him , BUT he knows that if Rhea’s plan succeeds Prachi will be thrown out and yet still he will not prevent it just because Prachi didn’t ‘ask’ for his help (beg would be a better word , he wants her to beg in front of him) What an inconsistent character he has become !! Why must Ekta destroy each and every beautiful character that she herself has created ??
TBH it’s becoming harder day by day to hold onto PRANBIR. They need to start on Ranbir’s redemption track asap and it better be more convincing than their separation reason , else fans will not love PRANBIR anymore
Agreed Colin. With that experience in mind, I hope you understand the cynicism that has grown from some of us older (i.e. we’ve seen this all before with abhigya) viewers.
But even earlier, he wanted to marry Riya, first because of his mother with a fake heart attack, then because Prachi lied to him that she did not need him, and only then he put Prachi in first place. This I mean that before he was not shown so decisive …
I want to be the devil’s advocate today. Let’s feel for Rhea. I think Rhea would also have been a good and loving wife to Ranbir because she really loves him. I know she was childish and a spoilt brat and so did not handle the relationship well. Example was Rhea sending Ranbir after Prachi to woo her. Why should she do that? A proverb says you don’t make a cat the keeper of your meat. That was what Rhea did. She sent Ranbir to Prachi and he fell totally in love with Prachi and this became irreversible.
You will agree with me that Ranbir would have been fine with Rhea if Prachi had not come into the picture. Ranbir and Rhea were brought up together and groomed to care for each other. That is why Pallavi is drawn to Rhea and wants Rhea. Let’s know that it could be very painful if you love someone and your love is not reciprocated (Alia never loved any other person but Purab, Tanu initially had her love for Abhi well reciprocated but Pragya came and took over and Tanu kept fighting to reclaim Abhi’s love and now also Rhea). I remember Abhi once speaking emotionally, happy to see Pragya return said something like arresting her (Pragya) and locking her permanently in his heart (when she did not come back on time as agreed from King’s place for marriage. I think she was involved in accident with King. Abhi was really dejected). Tanu was happy praying Pragya will not return, but Pragya returned and Abhi was visibly jubilating. The power of love!
Someone who suffers from unreciprocated affection/love may be agonizing and dying silently daily. Even if he/she gets involved in other relationships, they will not be the same (Sid and Rhea). Note that Rhea never had any other lover just Ranbir before Sid came in brief. She did all she could and still doing all she can – deception, forgery, aggression, blackmail, threat, suicide, negotiation etc. – to win Ranbir back from Prachi. It is very unfortunate that Rhea’s love is one-sided. Some people suffer this fate and it could be very traumatic. So let’s sympathize with Rhea. However, the truth is that she kept her meat with a cat.
You are serious?What rhea felt for Ranbir is obssession,control,lust,but absolutely not love.Rgea isnt childish or immature she a criminal minded nutcase who gets what she wants by hook or crook when it does not belong to her but she wants to own.Resorting to crimes to win Ranbir could never amount to love
Rhea’s arrogance in thinking she is better is what made her believe that Ranbir would never love Prachi.
@bigbee
Are you like, serious ??
Which ‘loving’ person frame someone they love in molesting case (Maya) just so that they can act savior and impress them??
It’s not love, it’s obsession. Rhea doesn’t love Ranbir, she loves the ‘idea of owning him’ just like Alia wanted to own Purab. At least Alia’s obsession with Purab was better than Rhea’s for Ranbir because Alia’s obsession with Purab was unconditional, whereas Rhea truly, actually wanted to have Ranbir in her life only after learning he doesn’t love HER, after all, but Prachi, the one girl SHE hates above any human being. Ranbir for Rhea is more than anything a trophy to win from Prachi, a confirmation to herself that she is better than Prachi because SHE got Ranbir, not Prachi
@bigbee
And Rhea is the one who at first didn’t reciprocate Ranbir’s love and used him in most disgusting way possible. If today Ranbir loves Prachi it’s solely because of Rhea because she is the one who made both of them come closer to each other and know each other better and fall in love.
Without Rhea’s external interference PRANBIR would never have happened because both of them detested each other too much to spend more than few minutes willingly with each other. She acted as a catalyst to bring them together so she has no right to blame either of them of ‘betraying’ them
Wow , so according to your theory almost murdering someone should be forgiven 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄(ranbir was going to perpose prachi that day ) & we should sympathize 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love the challenge that Bigbee offered and the many sane replies! Reading which brings a smile is always good! Rhea doesn’t know what ‘love’ is. Her only claim to fame was her father’s name and money. That’s what attracted people to her side. She has no experience of actual human love and is only a reflection of the criminal psychopath, Aliyah. The love that her other ‘parent’, Meera, was discarded and thrown away when it became inconvenient for Aliyah. I wouldn’t be surprised if Aliyah was searching out the latest tech to take over Rhea’s body when the plastic surgeons can’t do anything else to ‘improve’ Aliyah’s body. Rhea is not a real human character. She is a container for noxious, toxic gas which releases poison on a regular basis. Like all environmental dangers to life, she should be sequestered deep underground to save human life and to insure that aliyah has no way of stealing Rhea’s body for herself. Remember, Aliyah ‘owns’ everything that was created by abhigya… at least according to Aliyah. She stores that data, safely, in the special data center created (by cosmetic surgery) in her lips… which gets regular downloads… as shown through the changing size of her lips. Aliyah is just waiting in the wings to see if energy is being given to ‘pranbir’ or to ‘abhigya’. Aliyah will show up as one of the couple’s comes into the limelight. This has been the Aliyah show from day one. She does not disappear. Her face keeps changing, literally and then she comes back to reclaim her throne.
@bigbee
Sorry to say but Rhea never loved Ranbir. She was obsessed and infatuated with him. There’s a huge difference between love and obsession. Ranbir never loved Rhea. He was attracted to her yes especially as they were brought up together but he was also a playboy and a flirt who didn’t know what love was that’s why he liked the idea of Rhea being his. He only realised love when Prachi came in his life.
And as for Rheas situation, yes she did have a hard childhood. Growing up without a mom is difficult and it was clear she wasn’t raised properly. Abhi and Alia were to blame for that. But Rhea got her mother and sisters love years later and even when they were acting like a happy family, Rhea still felt threatened by Prachi and continued to hate her without any reason? Prachi even sacrificed her first love for her sister who humiliated her on many occasions, defamed her character and tried to kill her yet didn’t even feel a pinch of guilt about it. We can’t blame Alia for this now. Rhea had a choice she obviously chose the wrong one. She isn’t a 5 year old who needs to be treated like a kid and has to be manipulated. Even now, without Alia in her life for the past 2 years the crazy woman still hasn’t changed and has actually gone worse now. To be honest I think she would gladly plan Prachi’s death again. So no we should sympathise with her🌚
@Collin, you have a point that Ranbir and Prachi were not initially in love, they actually could not stand each other. Rhea’s pranks and crimes toward Prachi brought them together. Very correct. We know that Rhea was uncultured and had no proper upbringing. But who do you blame? Pragya who dumped her daughter and never looked back for 20 years! A very callous mother. I have my reservation about Pragya. That is why Rhea has no attachment to her. She calls her Prachi’s mother. Rhea was a victim of neglect who became rebellious coupled with being brought up by a crook (Alia).
She became a crook. I believe she would have changed to really love Ranbir after those escapades. Don’t forget that I am the devil’s advocate.
I took your position as advocate seriously and loved that you brought up the issue of Rhea. I think it is wrong for you to say that Pragya ‘dumped’ Rhea. Pragya did not want to leave Rhea behind. As usual, she had been coerced, threatened etc. and was FORCED to make a horrible choice. Pragya had always been kind and generous to even her enemies (which was naive). Leaving Rhea was completely the opposite of what Pragya desired. Pragya didn’t have a chance…in anything… with the psychopaths surrounding her including her stupid husband who should have been under a doctors care for schizoprenia, purposefully induced by his psychopathic sibling.
What about when Rhea grew up? Don’t forget Rhea was also raised by her nanny, Meera who was like an angel. When Rhea finally met pragya she had a bond a beautiful one indeed yes and we saw a side to Rhea we never saw before. She could have easily redeemed herself and for once choose her family over a guy who didn’t love her. But her own dumbness led her to the situation she was in for the past two years that also caused her to lose all her family. She doesn’t even give a bulls eye about her father either. The man who raised her? Who always sided with her? Believed her over Prachi even despite knowing what Rhea used to do to Prachi back in college! She only cares about money and wealth. She thinks she’s in love with Ranbir but it’s far from love. It’s a toxic obsession. Many times it’s proven to her Ranbir only loves Prachi. But clearly she’s the biggest fool who is still clueless. I would blame Alia for Rhea’s past mistakes but after the family reunion and the sisters marriages, Rhea was her own person and decided not to change despite given the opportunity to. Someone who doesn’t even value her parents existence will know the meaning of love and relationships? So there’s no one to blame but herself. She deserves to rot in jail.
@bigbee
Again you are wrong about Pragya. She did not ‘dump’ Rhea, she never did want to part with her.
Decision to get separated was ABHIGYA’S mutual decision, because they thought the bitterness of Kiara’s death would lie between them forever and instead of letting their daughters grow up watching their parents always fighting it’s better that they separate. Again, both of them wanted to have BOTH of their daughters with them i.e. Abhi wanted Pragya to take neither of the two whereas Pragya wanted to take away both with her. As neither of them would yield, a middle solution was offered by Disha that, since the daughters did belong to both of them and neither could challenge the other’s claim to them, each of them i.e. Abhi and Pragya would have a daughter i.e. Pragya would take away one with her and Abhi would retain back the other with him. And by pure chance Pragya chose the 2 minutes elder one to take with her.
All this happened in front of entire family. So how can you say that Pragya ‘dumped’ Rhea ?? Yes she never looked back after leaving because that’s what had been decided between them, that they would never again interfere in each other’s lives and this would have continued forever had Shahana and Prachi not decided to come to Delhi and events at the Mehra’s party not forced Pragya to come to Delhi to Prachi’s aid.
Like Rhea grew up without attachment to her real mother the same way Prachi grew up without one to her real father but do you see Prachi having that extreme hate for her father that Rhea had for her mother ?? Like Rhea grew up hating her mother for ‘dumping’ her, Prachi could grew up hating her father for throwing out her and her mother but she did not.
You blame Pragya for dumping Prachi, but do you blame Abhi for even trying to stop Pragya from leaving?? She left in the middle of the night amid a storm, Abhi didn’t even have a decency to ask her to stay in for night and go in the morning when the weather improves, even when he knew that one of his daughters would be going out in the storm with Pragya !!!
And you cannot blame Alia in this because she was not controlling him, at least not on the night of their parting before 20 years leap. All he did, did under his own volition. All BOTH of them did, did by mutual consent.
Two daughters, each one grows up without care of one of the parents yet one grows up hating her other parent yet another doesn’t hate the one that was not with her. Who do you blame ??
You blame the parent who talked disrespectfully and in anger about his wife in from of his daughter. Rhea’s upbringing was solely Abhi’s responsibility as Prachi’s was Pragya’s and this was mutual understanding. Pragya is not to blame one bit for how Rhea turned out to be
I believe that Ria never liked Ranbir. But I agree with you about the assessment of why she became just like that! I also blame everything on Pragya and nobody else! Yes, Abhi did not cope with the upbringing by entrusting him to Alia, who was not able to give her the correct attitudes, but if it were not for Pragya’s vile act, none of this would have happened!
@Akituster, a mother is a mother. Pragya should have come back after her anger has subsided to see her daughter. There is no justification for that. Abhi has no lever, he is controlled by Aliya. Aliya never left Abhi, she was tied to his apron string and saw anyone who challenged her closeness to Abhi as a competitor. Pragya was her competitor in that regard and he was always happy to rid Abhi of Pragya. So when she left with Prachi, Aliya did everything possible to frustrate her coming back including preventing Abhi from looking for Pragya and fully taking over Rhea care and upbringing, it was a strategy to be in control. What I don’t understand is why someone like Disha who was close to Pragya did not reach out to her. Even during the first break-up caused by Grandma’s death. I expected Disha to have made effort to find her so-called Sister.
But Disha paid for abandoning Pragya as Aliya took advantage of Pragya’s exit to scheme the separation of Disha and Purab. Anyway, the issue at hand is Rhea, who was a victim of all the scheming, who grew up without her biological mother and fed with very negative and provocative news/information about her mother. All these negative factors shaped who Rhea became and as fate would have it, her twin sister became the victim of her venomous disposition.
I would suggest that Pragya’s new found poverty, shock and the immediate demand for survival kept Pragya busy for some time. With the immediate leap, it would be difficult to pinpoint the moment that Pragya gave up hope. At that time in the plot, the writers had already begun to discredit Pragya. That most certainly was a part of the influences which were occurring in the real world (producer friends with Abhi’s real wife) vs the reel world. ‘Pragya’ needed to be removed or discredited and ‘Pranbir’ was most certainly a part of that effort. It was easier to understand the script if you payed attention to the production ‘team’ politics.
@Bigbee
A mother is a mother , so is a father not a father ??
Could Abhi have not tried to track Pragya for Rhea’s sake and to find out about his other daughter ?? And Alia proved it that it was not an impossible task to trace Pragya. Like she tracked her location to get both of them divorced , Abhi could have tried to find where she has gone. And he could have done the finding without telling Alia or anybody about it , so that rules out ‘controlling by Alia’. But he didn’t. Would you blame him for that ?? No. Because a mother is a mother , and it’s only her responsibility to think about her kids , always keeping aside her own feelings , self respect , hurt. A father can Right ??
Nert ei cannot be an excuse for a woman who abandoned her child! A real mother will do anything – humiliation, humility, even crimes – but not when she does not act as Prashya did. The most accurate thing was given to her when Ria herself – she disgraces the word “mother”!
Honestly speaking, Tanu has never annoyed me as much as these people!!
@Riya
Tanu is indefinitely better than you !!!! She married Abhi for sake of money , yet she stood with him in his poverty , and what did YOU did ?? You ran away when the hardships of poor life proved too much to you
Not this again please😂😂 I think I’m already starting to hate my name!
I think Ranbir will help Prachi in a plan because he does not want a divorce nor for her to leave Beth.
If we keep in mind the story is happening in India, we’ll see that in spite of all inconsistencies, there is a consistent hard line in the story. The caste system of India is defended strongly. The marriage with lower classes has claimed as evil leading to unhappiness. That is the hard core maintained through the 8 years of the story. This should be the ideology of the writer/producer
Hey STRYwrt! I would add misogyny, greed and a huge embrace of criminality for the rich. The rich, can do anything they please because they are humans who practice misogyny. Anyone not a part of their wealthy collective are not humans but rather convenient slaves, easily eliminated. Please remember that these attitudes are what form British Raj Hinduism, currently the most popular form of Hinduism. This is political and does not describe original Hinduism which values ALL life. The particular castes which enabled British Raj Hinduism when the British Raj first arrived are also the same castes with the wealth. Why would they want to change anything when they have such good lives, living off of the production and work of the rest who they can treat as slaves? But dear STRYwrt, there are other truths about India as well. People are trying to fight back. Unfortunately most end up becoming political prisoners in this country which is the largest democracy on the planet. (LOL)
@STRYwrt
Umm…I fail to see where is caste system portrayed in KKB.
If you say social classes then you would be absolutely right: Pragya Prachi and Disha all have been insulted and mocked for hailing from the middle class. But this is not related to caste at all…. perhaps you meant to say social status only ??
The producer and reputedly all of Bollywood, happily work for the current political administration. Productions like this one, keep British Raj Hinduism type attitudes, flourishing in the population. Being exposed to repressive ideology… daily, insures the long lifespan of that ideology and viewers do not fully understand how repetition is a cornerstone of indoctrination. Just like teaching children, habits they learn will become a part of their normal behaviour. The dehumanizing attitudes of this production promote viewers to unconsciously carry these attitudes into their daily lives… all supporting the caste system, misogyny, criminality etc to continue. Democracy? What a joke. When villagers have even claimed that the only time they see a political figure is right before elections and the ‘politician’ arrives with guns/cash etc… and are threatened or coerced to vote for said ‘politician’. Mind you, if the ‘politician’ is elected, then he won’t have to waste any bullets killing people AND he will be able to tell his younger male relatives that they can go out and rape women and children with impunity. It also helps to keep people starving and uneducated so that they never find the means to protest, their lot.
#Colin you are missing fundamental idea. To promote caste system is illegal in India, therefore they don’t use name of castes explicitly in the shows. The producer is not accepting to the legal situation so that she always portrayes all people who belong to so called upper classes(upper castes) as commanders inspite of their insufficient qualification.
Although middle class (lower castes) people are more educated and more qualified, members of the so-called upper class constantly humiliate them, they say that they can interact with them only as a servant, they never be an individual who has equal rights with them and the middle class people lose the fight with them every time. The repeated insistance of the producer means that: her goal is to annihilate the hope of people to promote a higher social statue by qualifacation and education
@STRYwrt
How I am missing a fundamental idea ?? I agree that there is a huge problem regarding caste system in India and upper caste people do treat the lower ones like shit , but that’s certainly not the case in KKB.
” The producer is not accepting to the legal situation so that she always portrayes all people who belong to so called upper classes(upper castes) as commanders inspite of their insufficient qualification.
Although middle class (lower castes) people are more educated and more qualified, members of the so-called upper class constantly humiliate them, they say that they can interact with them only as a servant, they never be an individual who has equal rights with them and the middle class people lose the fight with them every time ”
I stand by it that caste problem is not in KKB , it just cannot because Prachi and Rhea are twin sisters, blood sisters , they share same parents so the point of caste is irrelevant in distinguishing between them. How can one say Pallavi is not accepting Prachi because Prachi is of lower CASTE ?? That’s ridiculous. Prachi belongs to the same CASTE as Rhea. As I said you can talk about their class as in their social status / financial position in which they grew up. They are distinguishable in that manner as in one can say that Prachi belongs to middle class but here class refers to financial status , not her caste
I agree that both people of upper caste and upper class as in belonging to elite social status do abuse those belonging to lower caste and middle class / lower class , but their ideology is total different , you cannot compare / draw parallel in their reasoning. For example Pragya WAS a middle class girl because she was a middle class teacher / afterwards a simple caterer after coming to Delhi. But today’s Pragya is a successful business woman , her social circle has changed so has her class. Now Pragya will come under upper / elite class not middle class. But will her CASTE status change ?? No. Your class can change but not your caste
There’s difference between the two and even though there exists problem with both of them they are not interchangeable
#Colin
1. Caste system is forbidden by laws in India so the shows develop a terminology to avoid sanctions by laws. Mentality is the same.
2. Although Prachi and Rhea are twins, neighter mehras nor Kohlis accept Prachi as a member of mehra family.
3. If you couldn’t see new form of castizm in the show no problem it is up to you. But in my opinion castizm is the producer’s ideology and she is glorifying it.
4. Colin it is not neccessary to agree with me. Thank you for sharing your opinions
Riya is a selfish woman who did not ask about her father who raised her, so how do you expect her to take care of her sister Prachi.
