Surprise II
Woosh, woosh, woosh… Meher looked above at the small AC vent that sprayed fresh cool air on them as they sat in a small family cabin of a private jet. “Now can you tell me where we’re going Sarabjeetji” asked Meher for the fifth time. “I told you we’re going for a family holiday to Himachal Pradesh” replied Sarab calmly, casually flipping through the magazine in his hand. Meher grabbed the magazine and replied “I mean why are we going, you didnt mention anything, nor asked and all of a sudden you tell us to get ready shooshatak and in two hours suddenly we’re sitting in a plane flying to Himachal Pradesh.” “First of all Meherji, this isn’t a plane, its a private jet, with Covid and all the travel restrictions in place, I rented this to safely bring my family to and from the vacation. I have also made all the preparations for our stay there, and I know your worried about our home but don’t worry I had also informed Ajayji about this for the past couple days so he knew what to do. ” A couple days asked Meher shocked” slapping Sarab’s arm with the magazine again “you’ve been planning this for a couple days and couldn’t be bothered to tell me, you can tell Ajayji but can’t tell your wife” she hit Sarab again with the magazine. “Mamma” called out Seher as she joyfully climbed into Sarab’s lap, “why are you hitting Papa” she asked smilingly. “Yea Meher mamma why are you upset with Papa” asked Param next sitting next to Meher as Karan followed behind him. “Yea Papa planned such a nice surprise for us” said Karan excited! “Thank you baccho, only you three value me” said Sarab feigning hurt as he kissed Seher’s head.” “Oh please” said Meher cutting him off. “And puttarji said Meher holding Param, I’m hitting your papa because he was planning this vacation and wasn’t bothered to tell me. Tell me puttarji when you have a project at school do you prepare for it in advance or do it the night before”? “I always plan in advance mamma, and even you help me mamma” replied Param. “Exactly Puttarji said Meher as she kissed Param’s cheek. “If your papa was planning a surprise for you kids, shouldn’t he have told me so I could prepare things at home for when we go and also have things ready for when we come back. So when we get back home tired from the vacation, we don’t have to worry about laundry, or cleaning our room etc. “Your right Meher mamma, papa why didnt you tell Meher mamma” asked Param. “Meher mamma ka chamcha” replied Sarab softly. “What, what did you say” asked Meher. “Nothing” replied Sarab. “No no, you definitely said something” “Meherji, I didnt say anything” “you definitely said something, some moo mantra for sure” “Meherji am I crazy to argue with you, you my Bandarji and invite my downfall” replied Sarab folding his hands playfully. “Smart boy” replied Meher as the family burst into laughter.
After a couple hours the private jet landed in Himachal Pradesh. Sarab, Meher and the kids got off and got into the car that waited for them. They drove through beautiful greenery and large mountains. The kids ooed and eeed as they had their eyes glued to the windows. Sarab looked at them from the rear view mirror and smiled as he saw the kids so happy. He reached over to his wife sitting next to him and entwined his hand in hers, holding her hand as he drove through the long road. He was happy that the start of the vacation was going well, what starts well, ends well. After driving for 30 or so minutes Sarab slowed down and turned into a long dirt road. The long winding dirt road was narrow but after driving a few minutes turned into this beautiful large wooden bungalow. The bungalow sat elevated to the ground and had two stair sets leading up to the beautiful home. Across the home you could hear the crash of water as a great river ran around right next to it. Surrounded by tall green trees the home was secluded from the rest of the world and large mountains looked over the trees past the river. All three kids wowed as Sarab stood smiling watching the kids and Meher stunned by the beauty of what laid in front of them. They could hear no cars or engines, the only sound surrounding them was nature, birds chirped at the green tree tops and the water crashed through the rocks as it continued forming the crisp dark blue river. Slight winds flowed through the air moving through the tree leaves singing a song of their own, if heaven had a name it would be here for sure. Meher was speechless, now she knew why Sarab choose this place to vacation, no resort or water park or any man made hotel could come close to this, this place was designed by God, by Mother Nature and nothing could compare. Walking over to Meher, Sarab grabbed his wife from the back and pulled her close. Pecking his wife’s cheek he asked “so what do you think”? Still stunned by the natural beauty Meher replied “its beautiful” “not more than you” said Sarab looking at his wife. “Sarabjeetji you can flirt with me later but look around you” Meher pointed “this place is heavenly” “I don’t think so” Sarab replied “besides I did’nt come here to look at anything else, I came here to look at you.” Meher turned to look at her doting husband. “There’s no cell towers here, no signal, and not many people so finally no phone call or message or person can disturb us. I came here to spend time with you, to spend time with my kids, my world away from the rest of the world. Meher held Sarab and rested her head on his chest as she closed her eyes “It’s perfect” she said. “mamma, papa” the kids came running one followed by the other. “Maybe there is someone here after all to disturb you” Meher teased slapping Sarab’s chest as she walked towards the kids. “I can take care of that no problem” Sarab yelled behind Meher “I just need you to cooperate with me” he smiled as Meher turned around to show him a thumbs down and stick her tongue at him. Sarab loved when Meher made those faces, she did it more often than she knew, she often teased him with her tongue out and crossed eyes or by making a sad face and pouting when Sarab didn’t get his way. She would suddenly bring out the little kid in her and Sarab loved it, his Bandriji he thought!
“Mamma Papa, can we go swimming in the river? Please, please, please” the kids jumped together. “of course” said Sarab walking up behind Meher, “we’re going to go swimming, fishing, climb trees, zipline and so much more” he said picking up both Karan and Seher, one under each arm. “what do you think we’re here to do” he asked as he started running with the kids. Karan and Seher laughed as Sarab ran around with them. “Param let’s go” said Meher holding Param’s hand and running behind Sarab and the kids. The running and laughter between them soon turned into a game of tag, with one running and trying to catch the others. No one was tired from the flight or travel, seeing the beautiful home and scenic location had leased everyone a fresh new energy. It was a beautiful sight seeing Sarab, Meher and the kids so happy and content together. This was perhaps the first time that all five of them had been away together alone, so carefree and so content.
After running around and playing outside the family finally went inside and decided to rest before having dinner. The wooden bungalow was beautiful it was a two story double home that was combined together to make one big home. There was a big kitchen with both wooden gas and an electric one. The rooms were large and comfortable and almost every room had a view of its own to love. Meher and Sarab’s room was in the middle corridor and overlooked the beautiful river that ran by the house. The river was calm and wide at the end where it turned and then by the time it got to this side of the house it would crash through the rocks creating an amazing atmosphere. They had a large bathroom with two showers, two sinks and a large bathtub in the middle. The kids room was a few doors down on the right side of the home. In the middle there was a study and a library before having a small children’s playroom which was attached to the kids room. This home was owned by a family who know lived abroad but because they had a large family Sarab thought this would be an apt choice for his surprise vacation. The upstairs had more rooms and bathrooms followed by a small movie theater. Finally after running through the home and taking a quick shower the kids were hungry. Meher had just finished setting all their clothes and started to tie up her hair to begin making dinner. Meher was looking at the fridge and pantry doors when suddenly she felt her hair loose falling against her face, turning around she saw a smirking face of Sarab throwing and catching her hair pin, before Meher could say anything she felt herself pushed into the pantry and heard the door close behind Sarab. Turning on the single bulb in the pantry Sarab turned to face Meher. “Sarabjeetji what are you doing, the kids are outside!” Meher said quickly in a hushed tone. “Meherji” said Sarab holding Meher close “The kids are outside and we are inside, what difference does it make, besides how could I miss this chance” he continued slowly leaning down towards Meher. “Mr. Jatt in Toilet, have some shame, your the father of not one but three kids.” “So what, I’m the father of three kids and I definitely don’t mind being the father of one more” Sarab said with a wink, “or three, or four or five, actually let’s have 9 then we could make our own cricket team” he said excitedly.” Putting her hand on Sarab’s mouth to cut him off Meher replied “I am very happy and very tired with just three kids, you try giving birth to one and then tell me about 9.” “Fine” said Sarab, “three kids and the two of us are perfect, besides Yuvi and Kushi are also our own kids, right” asked Sarab? Seeing her husband mention her brother’s and his sisters kids as his own, swelled Meher’s chest with pride and love. Apart from his handsome looks, Meher loved the heart of her Sardarji even more. He loved and cared for everyone around him without any discrimination or self motive. He was always there for everyone and showed his love freely, except his love for his wife, that was reserved just for Meher and just that thought alone gave Meher butterflies which was enough for her to pull her Sardarji down towards her.
After their little moment in the pantry, Sarab and Meher now both sat on the outside deck. Meher leaned towards Sarab resting her head on his shoulder while Sarab had his hand around his wife. They both used a throw to cover themselves from the slight cold wind and sat quietly enjoying the sound of water and the swaying of the trees. Life was peaceful after so long. After having a nice big meal the kids played ball outside for sometime until the sunset and then finally tired from the day they went to bed. After several quite moments Meher quietly, in order to not ruin the moment asked Sarab “Sarabjeetji, will you tell me now why we actually came here”. Sarab looked over at his wife and kissing her head replied “how do you always know Bandriji” ” I know you better than yourself, just like how you know me” Meher replied “we’re both halves without each other, the other piece knowing the other better than themselves.” Sarab smiled “I really wanted to bring you and the kids out somewhere, somewhere where my wife doesn’t have to worry about fighting the next problem, somewhere where my kids can be kids. And honestly if I had to live like a farmer my whole life or some small retail worker in order to live here like this with you and the kids I’d choose that anyday. But unfortunately we have responsibilities and a busy world we have to go back to. But before we do that, before we go any further there is something I need to do” Sarab said looking out in front of him. “You want to tell Karan don’t you” asked Meher? Sarab looked over at his wife and with a slight sadness in his eyes nodded in approval. “I have to Meherji, the more we delay the more I feel like I’m lying to him. It won’t make a difference in our relationship or it might but either way I’m going to tell him. “I knew that you would tell him” Meher replied “and I think its best you do it yourself, your Bandru adores you and I’m sure he would want to hear about it from you only.” “Like how Param only listens to you” asked Sarab getting a smile in return from Meher “Whenever you think is the right time to tell him, tell him and if you need me, your Bandriji is always here, right next to you” said Meher snuggling closer to Sarab. Holding her close Sarab smiled, his heart said that everything would be fine, he knew his son but his brain wanted him to tell Karan the truth and so he would. Not any time but tomorrow itself. Meher and Sarab sat there enjoying each other’s company, living in the moment. Now Sarab had no worries for tomorrow, he closed his eyes and enjoyed his today.
Next morning Sarab was busy getting his boots on when his Bandru came running to him waving his head cloth. “Good morning my Bandru” “Good morning papa” replied Karan happily. “Meher mama already got Param and Seher ready and they’re walking to the nearby fruit farm to pick fruits.” “Good” replied Sarab as he tied Karan’s head cloth “because papa and Bandru are going somewhere else” “where, where Papa” asked Karan excitedly “Slowly puttarji, your head cloth will be tilted, we’re going to the market to pick up some groceries and other stuff, we can then walk up to meet your Meher mama, and Param and Seher at the local restaurant for lunch, sounds good” asked Sarab as he finished tying Karan’s head cloth. “Great, let me go get my boots too, today I’ll wear my boots like you” replied Karan before leaving. Sarab grabbed his wallet and watch and held Karan’s hand before walking out the house with him. They walked outside the house and Sarab decided to take the short cut to cut the narrow driveway. They walked through the small bushes and found themselves surrounded by large trees. The tree’s made a canopy over them with the sun peeking through the holes in between. “wow papa, this looks just like my fairy tales, so pretty” said Karan excitedly. “Karan, puttarji fairy tales are great, they give you an inspiration when you feel down in life but we should always be living in the moment. You should have stars in your eyes but you should also be able to look at the world in front of you. Like look at these beautiful trees and this quiet nature, there are minimal cars here and everyone lives so happily, do we get to see this in Punjab”? asked Sarab as Karan nodded no. “The amazing thing about traveling puttarji is you get to see different parts of the world and meet people who don’t live like you, its like reading a new fairytale, every new destination is like a new book and every new person we meet is like a new character in that book. I want you to live life and actually see these fairytales, this way you not only get to read the fairytale but you get to live it puttarji” said Sarab picking up Karan and walking with him on his shoulder. Karan laughed and both father and son continued walking happily. Karan looked at the trees above him and heard birds singing. Karan saw a nest of birds and poked at Sarab’s head while he had his eyes glues to the top “papa look a nest, look you can see the small birds beak, they look so nice” said Karan fascinated by the birds. Sarab looked up to see a nest of Crows. Sarab put Karan down and seeing the birds felt as if God was giving him an idea. “Karan puttarji those are Crows” said Sarab. “They’re so pretty Papa, they look big and strong and they sing so well” said Karan still looking at the nest. “Crows are amazing creatures puttarji, they can not only make their own tools but they also use those tools to accomplish their tasks. They can make things out of wood and leaves and use those to care for their family, they’re one of the most intelligent birds. In fact if there is a danger nearby, crows will inform other birds and warn them about it, Crows are also known to remember our faces.” “So if they saw me, they’ll remember me” asked Karan stunned as Sarab nodded. “Hey guys, I’m Karanjit Singh Gill, guys I’m down here, can you see me” said Karan jumping up and down excitedly waving at the birds. Sarab smiled and replied “but do you know why I really like Crows” Karan shaked his head “why” asked Karan. “Because Crows have a good heart, they don’t look as colorful and pretty as the other birds but they are really kind, helpful and loyal. Koyal’s the birds who sing really well” continued Sarab “Koyal’s will often place their eggs in a Crow’s nest and in turn push out the Crow’s eggs and then fly away. When the Crow comes back and finds the Koyal’s egg what do you think they do” asked Sarab now kneeling down next to Karan. Shrugging his shoulder Karan replied “I don’t know, Crows will also push the Koyal’s eggs out because they pushed out the Crow’s eggs” “No” said Sarab calmly. “The Crow treats the egg just like it takes care of his own eggs. He cares for the egg and loves it without thinking whether its his own egg or some other birds. When the egg hatches the Crow feeds the little bird” “Even though its a little Koyal” asked Karan quickly. “Even though its a little Koyal” confirmed Sarab “The crow takes care of the little Koyal like it takes care of his own, feeding it, keeping it safe, teaching it to slowly fly and then when the Koyal is big enough to fly, it flies out of the nest one day to go build his own.” “Wooow” said Karan quietly in awe. “Puttarji I need you to look at me” said Sarab slowly turning Karan towards him. “Puttarji what I’m about to say will never change the love I have for you in my heart. I love all my kids equally but there’s a special bond between us, all you kids have my heart but my Bandru is just my Bandru.” Karan smiled as Sarab continued. “Puttarji, both you and I are like the Crow and the Koyal” said Sarab slowly gauging Karan’s reaction, when Karan didn’t react Sarab continued. “Puttarji, your Meher mama and I got married when you were already an egg, Meher mama brought you as a baby in her tummy with her, I wasn’t there when she had you but I was there when you were born, even before you were born I was there to feel your first kick. I saw your first pic at the hospitals monitor and was there with you before you even entered this world and I will always be with you Puttarji as long as I have air in my lungs and as long as my heart beats, you will always find your Papa next to you” Sarab said engulfing Karan in a hug. “So I’m like a Koyal who was given to you like that Crow” asked Karan “so I was the only Koyal” he continued “not Param or Seher but just me, I’m like that Koyal” asked Karan again slowly. Afraid of what Karan’s next reaction would be Saran nodding slowly. Karan was just a kid, that’s why Sarab wanted to explain to Karan in a manner that he could understand, Sarab didnt want to throw medical processes at him and confuse him and make such a big revelation at the same time. His sons mind would be overwhelmed and Sarab didnt want that, that’s why Saran opted to tell him in a storybook like way, but now that Sarab had told him he waited nervously for Karan’s next reaction. Sarab prayed silently to God, he prayed that his son would understand his emotions more than his words and would remember his feelings over the new facts. Karan stood there still processing the new information and all Sarab could do was wait and pray. Time froze for Sarab, his heart beat louder than those crashes of waves and if anyone could hear it Sarab was afraid all the birds and animals nearby would run away hearing how loud his heart beat. Sarab prayed to God because it was not a matter of him, it was a matter of a father, a father was desperate for his sons approval, a father was desperately hoping that these worldly facts would not come in the way of his sons love. At that time a father prayed and waited for his son’s next words, for his son’s next reaction, this was no longer Sarabjeet Singh Gill who could fight the world, this was simply a father kneeling down next to his son. A father who waited for his son.

Guys just saw today’s glimpse of episode on twitter (by mistake) and you know what its just so funny and looking like joke and it is a complete copy paste..Just as meher meets sarab in gurudwara same seher meets the new lead.. Absolutely no difference.. perfect exact scene pin to pin but in a royal and disrespectful manner and it heavily lacked a storyline..😶
For the benefit of those who did not see the first episode post leap, or who don’t want to see it, you may not have missed too much.
Here goes, if you are interested:
I watched this first episode, post leap.
In a nutshell, very disappointing indeed!
It is a completely different show to the original CS.
Apart from the photo of the garlanded couple on the wall, which anyone will recognise, and the new Seher looking 100% like her “mother”, there is barely anything to link this show with the original.
As for the actors, they are a pale shadow at best compared to the original cast of the Gill’s and Dhillon’s.
As for a story, this look’s like just another run of the mill ‘love triangle’ we see everyday elsewhere on ITV.
At least the young chap’s playing Karan and Param look ok ish. Not too bad.
As for the person playing Seher, she look’s, talk’s and act’s like Meher – because, she actually is Meher and must be getting rather bored looking at her picture on the wall with garland’s on them.
Entertainment value – a modest 3/10 to be generous. Some might even give a lower mark.
@AJ.. I understand that you are disappointed after the first episode post leap, and trust me the disappointment is gonna increase with each passing episode. There was a reason why most of us decided to not watch the show after mehrabs death and the exit of original cast.. letme explain.. there are lot of remakes of hindi movies in regional languages and also vice versa.. BUT there are certain classic movies which are NEVER have a remake version.. its because the makers know that the remake will never match the classic one and therefore will not succeed well.. The same applies for CS.. The unique story and the original talented cast of CS has made it a classic one and trying to make a remake version of this classic show is a blunder!!! Because it will never match… Avinesh Rekhi sir has set such a benchmark as sarab.. Noone and absolutely noone can match that!!! Anita Raj maam as KK is another irreplaceable antagonist.. similarly all the characters.. they cannot be replaced or they cannot have a remake version.. But when makers try to do it it ends up as a disaster.. and therefore the post leap CS is a disaster
@AJ : did the last rite of the mehrab happened? If not they may try after some time to bring mehrab back to the show 🤔, just if that happens I wish Avinesh Rekhi would say thank you., but no thank you.
@Ayni I don’t think any of the cast members would return to this production house after what has happened. I feel like these actors have too much self-respect to return to a place that has insulted them after they poured their hard work and dedicated their artistic talent for the last two years of their lives to make the show a success, only to then be shown the door 😡😢
Thanks @AJ for providing your perspective on the leap. I’m not at all surprised that the episode was disappointing. I can’t stomach watching it without the original cast. The way everything has happened has left such a bitter taste towards the PH and Nimrith. I don’t think the show will be sustainable with her being the lead and her fellow co-actors, some of whom are models and don’t bring the experience of acting that the original cast had. The proof will be in the numbers. I predict that the trp will drop…it’s only a matter of time. I just hope that as awful as the situation has been for the original cast, they can breath a sigh of relief that this toxic environment is something that will no longer suffocate them.
@Radhika – I agree completely.
There is that saying in English “no man walks in the same river twice, for the river is not the same and the man himself is no longer the same”. Exactly same here – they will not be able to replicate the earlier success by merely having Nimrit and trying to use similar ideas. Nimrit was very good acting as a wife and mother. Now, trying to play a carefree young girl, it is very different. She may well have typecast herself in the earlier role. The new young actors cannot be compared to Avinesh, Rana, Bitu etc, all of whom were very good character actors.
I give this post leap 1 month, if that. Maybe the producers will realise there game will be over sooner than planned.
@Ayni: No last rites for MehRab. They went straight from a few tears shed by the relatives to 16 years, followed by immediate and somewhat ridiculous efforts by Karan and Param trying to fix a husband each for Seher.
So, Nimrit has gone as Meher being a wife and mother of three to almost immediately as Seher very busy trying to find her (next) husband. There is a clear hint she will than be involved in a love triangle, with the two protagonists wasting no time at all in trying to make their mark, even in the first episode. Worse, the protagonists look like cheaper versions of Manav and Sarab. Not sure how many female leads have had four lovers in one serial, but Nimrit seems keen.
As for the acting skills, the young men look like models who think good look’s is all that it takes to be good actor’s.
The chances of Avinesh, KK, Harleen etc ever being tempted back must be zero.
Look’s like Nimrit could be left with egg all over her face, by early indications.
Absolutely right @AJ : she will go to the history book with her four men in the same serial! Okay there’s no rites for them! They still can show as FB or let it be. CS is known for its numerous lose ends and they never bothered too.
True @AJ @Ayni @Radhika..The leap itself is a loophole..Param being without specs..a really need a doc to whom he consulted..Karan without a turban when he wore patka when he was small..What a thinking gosh.. Nimrit having new eye contact lenses with Megrab tatoo and explaining the shit meaning of it..As far as I remember”MehRab” was given by fans and not by the ph or actors..Still using them😂. Nimrit doing heavy online hefty promotion of her new chapter and even promoting new couple which isn’t formed yet..(darr ka mohaul h babu bhaiya)..Never in her 2 years she never promoted the couple post covid..Pre covid everything was just perfect with show and with actors both on and of screen..but just after covid it went deep down the ocean..Nimrit now sharing her pics with Avi to other fans..But why??The couple has ended for her and who shares such personal pics with fans without putting it up on her social media first..What kind of thinking is that!!😲 Now many would say Avinesh didn’t do that too..But FYI Nimrit was the one who broke all ties with her co actor by playing unfollow follow game on IG and never bothered the lead couple so why would Avi bother..Next thing,post leap this ph has roped in so many male actors(models basically) that i might forget counting..My god how many you need to replace the irreplaceable SSG..Meher and Sarab would never be alive seeing the pathetic conditions of her children post leap😂..Now Nims has got enough courage to reply to haters on her comments and even her father is also a part of it and his dad says she is busy with 20hrs of schedule work..But as much as I remember Shootings are allowed with a max of 12hours..then 20😲 A newbie lead romancing 4 leads in a single series..sheer courage by the actress but in overconfidence..such steps are taken with mind not with the intension if boasting that i did such a courageous job..The new actors seems younger than seher even her brothers and new lead..The story is just a cheap modern copy of original one lacking the beautiful sikh culture of India..Thank God Mehrab aren’t alive too see such scenes..Sorry for my open words but these aren’t hate but are true facts which no one can deny..Is this show promoting ki d of auditions for the new male leads roped in..There are numerous more faults to be written but i restrict myself for the time being🙃
@pixeless perhaps she is posting these Mehrab pictures for (1) attention and (2) to retain existing fans of the show. It won’t work. Fans have seen her true colours and can see through her cheap tricks. As for her apparently working 20 hours…I don’t believe it. Especially since she had to take time off for health reasons before because she over exerted herself. She is desperate for high ratings! Hopefully it will be very apparent to her that she alone was not solely responsible for the success of the show and it cannot be sustained. I hope this is something nimrith and the ph will quickly realize, both of which could use a dose of humility and reality 🙄
And FEY ,Avinesh did so justice to the character of Sarab and the sikh religion that people want him to post pictures in turban as he suits the best in it!! That’s what you call as love and respect you receive in the past 2 years👍
OMR!! Just happen to see the promo of CS by chance.. 😂😂😂 thats their replacement for sarab?? GOD help these fools who think that model could replace the character of Sarabjeet Singh Gill portrayed by Avinesh Rekhi perfectly.. The character in itself was beautiful and Avinesh Rekhis performance took it to levels which cannot be matched by anyone..
In this promo the guy even has dialogues BUT honestly a silently sleeping sarab was a 1000 times more impressive, adorable and handsome than this guy…
seriously @Radhika!! The power and presence that SSG brought can never be matched! SSG could crush this model replacement with his thumb! I know we’re biased, but just seeing the promo alone was enough for me to be confident that this show will not last.
@MD.. Lets just wait to hear “CHOTI SARRDAARNI TO GO OFFAIR BY THIS MONTH END” … and then we can all celebrate 😂😂😂😂
Now that would be the cherry on top of the cake that karma could feed to the ph and nimrith 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
@Radhika: welcome to the $1 version of Sarab. There is also a $1 version of Manav coming up. Will be fun. Watch this space.
Hahaha @AJ,@Radhika..I have noticed two things that Nimrit nis trying her level best to get into seher but seeing her is a cringe for meher and the ph has roped in many actors in the entire two years but personally the new male lead is the mist cheapest version of sarab u ll get in the market and the worst character CS ever got..No bad but seriously he looks Very cheap especially with his hazel eye😂😂
@Aj 😂🤣 They must have found this model roaming around at the dollar store! But in all seriousness, I am cringing at this pathetic attempt and desperation with the new cast! I can only speak to the promo as I caught a glimpse of it and it just doesn’t measure up. But I think we all knew and expected this. You can’t give fans gold and then expect us to settle for rocks in the sand! I wonder how long it will be before we see those ratings drop!!
Have you seen guys @Radhika @AJ @MD that boycott udaariyaan is trending on Twitter because of the shit episode they gave in the last 2 days and were blaming the writers..Then i knew that cs and udariyan both have same writers..so I don’t see less time when cs again goes for a boycott trend 😂😂
@pixelss.. what has happened to the writer 🙄🙄 He was so good in the beginning of CS..
Honestly I think yeh writers ko dohre padte hain, shuru mein theek hain phir achanak inki satak jati hain. I watched a couple episodes of Udariyaan and thought Tejo is very beautiful lol only reason for watching the show but ever since the character is cheating on his wife I stopped it’s despicable to say the least. There is plenty of cheating going around outside no need for more inspiration on TV, maybe show them what the society needs and someone might learn a thing or two, oh wait Sarab did that and they kicked him out 🤷🏽♂️
@dropofthought.. exactly.. there was one character on ITV who coulx be considered as an inspiration for people.. An upright politician, an ideal husband,father, brother, SIL, uncle,boss, friend… The man was perfect.. pure white as was told in the show..Sarab would be every womans dream husband and its not only because of the looks but also because of his character and his moral values..But then the biggest injustice on ITV was also done to this character!!! Shame on the makers.!!!
@Dropofthought : @pixels :@Radhika: Rajesh Chawla seems not to have any inspiration! He is writing for too many shows at the same time or he too has to please PH might tells him how, what they want.
@Pixelss: I actually watch Udaariyaan everyday . Not seen the twitter trend but will check. The crazy thing there is one sister wanting to ‘steal’ and marry her sisters hubby. The poor chap does not have the intellect or intelligence of an Einstein. Maybe this has put off people.
But back to CS – they have recruited so many male actors and the only female actor seems to be Seher/ Nimrit. Perhaps she wants to extend her choice of husbands as the writers are ‘only’ offering 2 to her as ‘Seher’. She may settle for 3 or 4 this time round. And God knows how many children with how many partners. Morals? Not quite Indian.
As you all India based (just out of interest). I am UK based, so often am on the internet when people in India are fast asleep! I think Ayni is Dutch based – could be wrong.
Exactly AJ, I’m US based hence when the others are commenting I’m usually asleep and the same happens when I post.
@AJ, almost I am Swiss based.

I’m willing to bet a lot of rupees that she wasn’t ‘the most hurt.’ My eyes aren’t capable of rolling to the back of my head any further!
@MD.. This is the funniest interview I have read in the past couple of days🤣🤣🤣🤣.. So far her plans backfired and people realized she was celebrating mehrabs death.. So now she gives this statement tht she is very sad🤣🤣 Does she even know that we audience seen sad people and how sad people behave 🤦♀️ She couldn’t be more clear in saying that all the news going around is the truth and that she is definitely affected by this.. I am so happy 💃💃💃
yeah @MD i also read about it today and felt that whatever was written more than half of it was exaggerated and fake as to how and when she started considering Avi as her senior..Seriously??.. And she being the most teary eyed is the most difficult thing to believe in 2021..guys @Radhika @AJ @Ayni there is something thats getting my nerve and i wanted to share with you all and would appreciate if you provide your opinions too..
1) Amidst all the controversies going around on instagram about the leap why does nimrits father need to interfere in all these..her father is a respected retired army man..why is he getting involved in the controversies..he is replying to every fan comment to watch the leap and said that it is more better than the previous one and also saying that nimrit does 18-20 hrs of hard work..Seriously?? in every bts i have always seen nimrit attached to her phone and nothing else and isnt 20hrs more than enough did her dad say
2) she said in her interview that she doesnt get bothered about the hate she is receiving,,ok,,but she is busy replying to all the hate comments on social media..why is she doing that when it doesnt bother anymore..i know she is all aware as to whats going on but she should better remain silent…
3)OMR!!! since sunday she is reposting all the reviews on her stories about the leap..the same when she did with hitesh in the beginning..but can someone remind me when she did such things when avi was there..ans- never ever except the last day..why ?? coz seeing her reposts some blind fans would support her and will be happy to just get the actreesses attention and increase their so called followers..and she hasnt stopped sharing about the new leap..so is that a promotion strategy or seeking the reviews of viewers by giving then her own attention..its really painful as a mehrab fan to watch such kind of disrespect behavior and a cheap ,mentality of the lead actress..by her such acts she is hurting a lot of sentiments who have been loyal to the show since the last 2 years..and then she would say that she is receiving hate !! why wouldnt she!!and there arent many but only few fans who are doing such cheap tactics..
if you guys had any more views you may pen it down below!!!
Absolutely right @pixelss
But who would make the dumb so called fans understand.. Everything is crystal clear in front of their own eyes still they are not ready to believe and saying that don’t talk ill about nimrit.. But her own actions have made her do this.. The main thing is that we don’t hate her or dislike her but her behaviour and actions are making us believe that she had broken many hearts of people.. You know what @radhika.. It feels a lot of pain when many fans of the show who used to support nimrit and avi as mehrab are deliberately saying that whatever nimrit did we correct and we will support her with the new lead.. Then why did they support mehrab💔💔
@pixelss thats because they didnt support mehrab.. they only supported “meh” and since it was a part of mehrab they claimed to be supporting mehrab.. because real mehrab fans would never support their death!!!
@MD for me personally considering all the bts.. i found that the kids,avinesh and abhie were much more sad and it was clearly visible in their posts and stories than nimrits’ fake crocodile tears..for me she never looked as if she was sad!!people who are generally sad they dont try to hide through silly humour and jokes!!
I hope the interview scores the opposite of what she was expecting shows what an apportunitist she is. And Avinesh Rekhi, ironically letted his pictures speaks, with short note 💙Monday blues 💙 what a statement!!!
@Ayni and Avinesh farewell video was with him giving warm hug to the ones who are behind the camera, who do a lot of work and invest a lot of their time and are the major part of show success, not to the dummy actors..thats why he is the most perfect gentleman👍
Yes @ pomel your are aboultly right the video shared by avinesh rekhi was very much packed with emotions the hug and the heartbreaking good byes with real heros of the show. While nimrit kaur was on a microphone may be singing a see you or a good bye song🎂🤒was annoying
@Radhika @pixeless @Ayni I found this article to be so exaggerated and though I’m sure Nimrith’s attempt was to gain some sympathy, but I don’t think anyone is falling for it. She is definitely an opportunist and clearly reactive because though she claims to disregard comments on social media, this article is clearly a response to the fans whose hearts she and the ph had a role in breaking. The fans called her out and no matter what she says, it continues to prove us all correct and makes the politics more apparent then ever! Her emotions are not genuine. Avinesh’s video of him bidding the crew farewell was genuine. Nimrith’s cry for attention is getting old very quickly. She’s a fool to think there wouldn’t be any backlash or consequences to her opportunistic ways. The only justice for the original cast and we as fans will get is when the show’s trp is consistently low and it goes off air!
Perfect @MD i share the same thought.. interview was just a mere comedy nothing else and all the politics are coming out into surface day by day and is clearly evident..
To mention in avi igtv video, nimrit was seen singing with a mic in her hand ..like seriously!😬😬
This IG account analyzes this article flawlessly: https://www.instagram.com/p/CR3wfmxi7yT/?utm_medium=copy_link
Robby/ Krrishnasoni on insta is really loving my dig’s on the post leap actors.
Here’s an extract:
As for the new guys post leap, they definitely look like drop outs (kicked out, er) from the Acting School. Hence the producers got the newbies to act as Nimrit’s toyboys for Rs 1 each. If you pay peanuts you get monkeys. Actually, Bandar’s.
He replied:
😮 😂😂😂😂
Which page @AJ
@Pixelss: The one with Sarab’s and Rana’s photo.
Oh yeah @AJ ..i personally think that he even was not happy with the idea of leap in the show
@AJ which page is this…. could you please send the link??
Hi @AJ, could you send the link to the page, please?
@Radhika – go to Krishna Soni’s insta and it is on the page where Robby, Sarab and Rana are photographed together.
@AJ.. got it thanks.. MD shared the link
I believe @AJ is referring to this: https://www.instagram.com/reel/CRlO-17HNSP/?utm_medium=copy_link
Ohh.. thank you @MD 😍😍
@MD: Bingo !
Anyone have any recommendations for any new shows lol!! I don’t even see the clips or promos for the new CS its just lost my heart. And udariyaan I’m not watching because I can’t even justify in acting about cheating on your wife, that too TEJO?!!! The guys blind or what?! So at this point currently not watching any new shows
At the moment I can only recommend the Olympics.
🙌 that’s exactly what is keeping me distracted and filling this current void I have. Here’s hoping we all get justice for fans and the cast when there is proof in the trp of how the show is doing. I’m not sure what it will take to take the show off air but I hope that happens in a fast and furious way. From how ppl are feeling about the leap and this other udaariyah show, I hope we as fans show these makers how much power we have 💪
@Dropofthought..i personally think that you must wait a little bit as star plus will soon launch a new show starring paridhi sharma and colors tv also to come up with a new one about the life of people living in north-east india.. that must surely be a treat to watch😁
One more request @dropofthought..can u please come up with the article of the story asap as thus particular one is almost crowded with our comments and we need a fresh space now so that we can comment peacefully😉
@dropofthought intehaan hogayi intezaar ki.. aayena kuch khabahr tere post ki
😂😂😂 for time being i dont have any suggestions dear
And yes please update the next part as @pixelss said this place is getting crowded😉
Perfect @Radhika and i really think it’s getting crowded here don’t you think it guys @MD @AJ @Bacii @Ayni..
And @Dropofthought some fanpages were feeling lonely as they have nothing to watch bow so i have recommended them to go through your writing..PS:- i have given you the full credit 😉
so guys i came across a story of one of the fanpages of nimrit who is against the leap where she gave an apt title for current CS story.. she says that as it involves a love triangle initially with bad faces.. it should be name as “Pati patni aur woh” with “woh” being a male this time..funny indeed!!
😂😂😂
@Radhika @AJ @MD have guys seen nimrit comment on avi new ig post..yaar how much will she stoop low just for “attention” for hew new show..she never ever commented on his posts and is now doing so..why??just to prove that you were all correct..its just giving the vibe of being disrespectful nothing else..i am just so done with her.its damn irritating..and then she would say that she is getting mixed reactions..she herself is poking fans..i think for the betterment of everyone both must unfollow each other and just end this drama or whatever RN!!
The woman is too desperate and I am glad that the genuine sensible fans of Avinesh sir has found right words for her!!! She is acting like an immature kid trying to impress people by fake friendship!!! The woman was laughing and singing with a mic in her hand when the crew members were giving Avinesh Sir a tearful goodbye.. well what else do anyone expect from her after that most disrespectful BTS video..
Oh dear… unfollowing is a good option but I doubt Avinesh sir himself will ever intiate it.. he is too professional for that.. if nimrit unfollow him, he may unfollow her otherwise I highly doubt based on his professional behaviour so far.. But I cannot say as I dont know him before CS.. This is the first show of Avinesh sir that I watched and I absolutely admired his acting skills and I will definitely watch his upcoming projects too😊 But if given an opportunity I would suggest or rather request Avinesh sir to mute her account atleast!!! The woman is really annoying with her posts and stories 😡😡
@Radhika..that indeed us true coz as far as i remember last year when nimrit unfollowed avi,he didn’t do that..he unfollowed her in feb 2021 when i think it was too much for him to handle too but he was also the first one to follow her back after her return..so it may be true that avinesh doesn’t initiate this but he should do after seeing everyone bashing nim even on the comments of avi😂😂
Another good news that the mehraplb track ended with a trp of 1.5.. a good way to give farewall to the OG cast of CS by the audience and fans by even tolerating the body double for almost the entire week with no happiness..the actors must be proud that they received the award of their hardwork during the last week..indeed appreciable 👍 and as for the leap.. uncertainty still persists..
But among all the actors simran cleverly got rid of her by just simply unfollowing her and even not tagging her in the final farewell reel which featured avi..and i just want to quietly observe as to how far will these promotion tactics would work..if works then congo nim and if doesn’t then “ab pachtaye hot kya jab chidiya chug gayi khet🤷”
I only feel like saying one thing to Nirmit, “Come on lady! Why do your words sound so empty!?!?!? Know how to lie at least!”
Well whatever she is doing is called utter disrespect. She neither valued Mehnav nor Mehrab.
The backlash she is facing is very well deserved.
There is only one reason out of the many reasons behind hers facing this backlash that I don’t understand.
Why is she being criticised for playing her daughter? Prabhaas played his own son in Bahubali. The actress who played his wife acted as a mother to him as well. The lead actress in Naagin i.e. Mouni Roy played her own daughter too. Again the male lead was both father and husband to the same actress. Same is with Thapki Pyaar Ki where Jigyasa Singh, who essayed the role of Thapki, played her own daughter Baani in the same season. She had four lovers too. And the character of Thapki’s husband was killed but the actor returned as another character to marry Thapki. No backlash here. Even if the other two examples involve different seasons or parts, the third one is quite similar.
I get it why she is being hated so much. She invited all this for herself! But there is this reason that does not convince me. Could someone throw more light on it, please?
@MD @Ayni @Radhika Purohit @AJ
@Bacii.. the problem is not that she is playing seher.. the problem is that they got this leap because she wanted to play seher so that she can get a new onscreen lover other than Avinesh sir🤷♀️ had she been playing seher but somehow if avinesh was paired opposite to her and the original cast retained then no one would have a problem with nimrit playing seher..
Also all the examples you mentioned, if the leap was in the same season wasnt the entire cast retained???
In CS the entire cast including Anita maam is shown the doors.. please dont tell that they refused to play elderly ages.. if the entire cast was against the leap then instead of this stupid leap they should have opted for some other option if they valued the cast.. BUT NO!! They didnt want someother option because some other option would retain Avinesh too and which nimrit didnt want anyway!!!
This is why she is being lashed out at.. because she backstabbed the entire cast!!! Also she is playing a 21 year old when she is a 26 year old and looks like a 30year old!!!
The actresses that you mentioned dont look older than their own age!!!
Also now the entire show is filled with younger men to suit the actress likening..
Absolutely perfect @Radhika..Its all ninrit’s activities that she is inviting for herself and still have the courage not to stop doing that..she has been hurting the sentiment of fans since a day before the leap and yesterday’s all pictures by both the actors was a final nail to the coffin into the heart of mehrab fans..i too am a mehrab fan but i am matured enough to ignore such things coz when you waited for the love from then,we didn’t receive and now what we don’t need atleast to make others move ahead by forgetting all nuisance the actors aren’t letting the megrab fans do..but personally for me i don’t care whatever nimrit does..i just simply ignore her stories and social media posts..for relaxation i got for avi ‘s post but na she is even there present to poke you..we don’t want any kind of sympathy,love,and affection anymore as she herself has sgown her true colors and she herself knows that half of the fans are just irritated by her behaviour and have stopped watching cs.. that’s why she’s doing all this drama from the very beginning..i think its just better to ignore her for a week or two then we would easily be able to detach ourselves from her coz she doesn’t need our love anymore..i was going through many fanpages on insta yesterday and i felt the endless pain of the fans whe both the actors posted such pictures..loyal fans did so hardwork for entire two years to even get a click of the lead earlier and used to literally go and beg for pictures from the leads but all they got is babaji ka thullu as nimrit wad never ready for it..@Bacii you are wrong here.. nimrit always promoted mehnav as she had the best bonding with hitesh in the entire CS cast but age diff cam when she worked with Avi coz there was a 10 yr gap..but hitesh and mahir are just around nimrit’s age so they go along well and varun himself in his thirties.. so to get a pic of nimrit and varun you need to wait as nim will take her time..and these aren’t rumours but FACTS!!
no @Bacii she always admired mehnav but never mehrab and whatever @Radhika said is absolutely is correct..she herself is creating all this fuss..by trying to poke fans on avi’s post and both leads sharing pics of each other..see i don’t have any prob if they share pics but i feel sorry for the entire mehrab fandom..its like jaale pe namak chidakna to all their emotions..nimrit went along well with hitesh and now with mahir as they fall under her same age group so she doesnt hesitate but both avinesh and varun are in their thirties so u havent got a pic yet of varun and nimrit..mehrab fans are really so disheartened by her behaviour and activities..even if they try to move ahead the actress just pokes their nerve to the extreme end..and people are getting irritated coz they are seeing such a side of her in th entire 2 years ans they are left in shock..believe me this never ever happened in the entire 2 years i repeat never and ever thats why people are bashing out nd there she is ready with all the ans and they are the pics.. i really felt the pain of the entire fandom yesterday..they literally begged for her for mehrab’s pics but she was never ready with avi and now that time has passed!!nothing to repent
@Radhika @Bacii she’s now not even leaving the comments section of even the kids kevina,gaurika and other actors who were part before for her attention and the funniest thing is that she is even getting bashed there too😂😂 why?? Atleast leave the kidss for god’s sake!! Plz!!
@pixelss.. she is such a shameless attention seeker🤮 I hope no actor in ITV ever agree to work with her!! Then lets see how shaika and cockcrow will support her and for hiw long!!!
And the best thing is that the diehard fans who don’t want to forget mehrab as easily as nimrit what they do is they just replace the new lead photo with avi’s using Photoshop and make the new lead as a good brother and sister relationship and make their mood happy..Their dedication is commendable 😂😂👏👏..
And even i got to know today that during ad time and a countdown for the next episode of CS they are still using Avi’s face..OMR!!! I have never seen such a better love story than this😂😂😂
@pixelss what??? Why does Avinesh sir let them use that??? How much will they take advantage of a professional and polite man!!! 😡😡😡
@Radhika god knows..but one thing is assured that whatever she is doing or her blind fans or even her father(just got to know her father unfollowed everyone from the original cast ans well as the fanpages who supported mehrab and followed them who are in support of the leap and promoting the new couple) ,is doing is really painful and sad to see such developments💔💔 but just wish that one day or another they get to know the real value of their own fame and existence in this show..they are just simply doing wrong and mark my words they would repent ..and i just want the trp fo get low no matter how long this show goes but it doesn’t deserve the TRP.. completely broken💔
@pixelss.. who is her father.. what is his name?? I wanna see this mans comments
He replied only once but he just keep liking the comments related to sehraj and seher and never liked the comments of any mehrab fan..he is a retired army officer and i have a lot of respect for him..his ig name is gsa_19849 somewhat like that
All the now ex CS cast are showing a very dignified and polite silence, none more so that Avinesh. Real professional’s. Hopefully, they will all find suitable projects in the very near future. Nimrit appears to have been isolated by everyone and she may be getting a bit of a reputation in the industry. Post CS, she might struggle, to say the least. Haven’t seen her father’s comment’s etc but being a parent, it is understandable that he would defend his daughter. It is possible Nimrit may be under attack from all sides, not just the social media. If another actress was playing Seher, that would have been another matter. But now Nimrit is seen by viewers, to have ‘backstabbed’ her entire cast to the extent that she alone is left standing in the show.
Well said @AJ👏👏 the others are very much professional.. They also need to start a new chapter in their lives so they have started detaching themselves from the show as they need their personal time too and it’s very much obvious.. Talking about nimrit dad i just mentioned coz get mother is just a contrast.. She still even is gone of mehrab that’s why i started my point and everyone here knows what a daughter means to her father..Respect!! Coming back.. Nobody here gates nimrit.. Is just her upcoming or rather actions that is making us go crazy like anything.. All she need to do is just calm down for a week.. Let allow others to move ahead even the fandoms, stop seeking attention from her earlier co actors and just convey to the channel to stop their shit tactics of using avinesh for their promotion to gather TRP!! Its just that simple af!!
No no no! I never meant to say Nirmit is right. I clearly stated that whatever she is doing is wrong, it is dirty politics that she is playing.
I am against her and I think her words are empty.
I know there is not one but there are many reasons why she is being criticised. All these are wholly relevant.
My question was that why she is being hated for playing her own daughter. That doesn’t mean she doesn’t deserve it, I simply wanted to ask why that is of the reasons behind all the hate. Because some people did go against her because she agreed to play her own daughter.
Her behavior is not at all correct. She is using shameless promotion techniques, I don’t doubt that at all! I was only thinking why use playing her own daughter as a reason.
Nothing else. I like CS the way it used to be before this leap thing, and don’t even care to watch it fully now.
So I hope I am clear. Not a Nirmit supporter.
@Radhika Purohit @Pixelsd
I can understand you dear @Bacii..She is being hated for playing her own daughter as people have just gone gaga seeing her in the beautiful avatar of meher..the initial bubbly nature of meher..then gaining some responsibility after getting married to sarab then whole heartedly falling in love with sarab..all these things are so smooth as a thread unwinding..now when she is playing seher..the problems arises are
1)She doesn’t fit into the role that much..people can’t even relate to her now..and continue to think that she herself is Meher and when people see that meher with someone else other than sarab they simply just go crazy and keeping giving her hate!!
2) audiences thought that if nimrit is stepping in to the role of her own daughter then avinesh should have been retained for the lead opposite nim but that didn’t happen.. moreover avinesh wouldn’t even had accepted even the lead role as it rumoured that he and Anita mam even didn’t liked the script after leap and thought the story was getting more doomed!!
Guys even i got to know that nimrit yesterday followed one of her fanpages and even avinesh follows one if his fanpage..the difference lies here that the fan which nimrit followed kept taunting and irritating the mehrab,cs,and avi fans after leap and even spoke ill of them on her posts and nimrit even liked all those posts and on the other hand avinesh’s fan neither spoke ill about any actor or even the fans..it is an unbiased fanpage and a good one.. Clearly you can make out the difference but fans and their respective idols
@pixelss.. which is this fanpage that nimrit followed??? I dont follow a lot of individual fanpages of actors so i dont know this page..
But yes I know the fanpage of Avinesh sir which he himself follows.. But actually he follows that page since a very long time… infact I got to know about that page after seeing that Avinesh sir very often reshares stories from that page.. And yes its a very good page and posts unbiased reviews all the time.. And if I am not wrong the owner of that page is a regular visitor to this site… because when CS was running like CS the reviews by that page used to have points from the healthy discussion on this forum…Well Now gone are the days of watching episode and gone are the days of reviews by us or by fanpages😪😪
Yeah @Radhika..those days have just vabished away and i really miss those but now i am rewatching cs episodes from no.1 daily..it gives me such refreshment.the new one is just a simple mess..the fanpage name is nimritahluwaliagem..and radhika today something struck in my mind..i thought that jodis are not loved why u intentionally hype them in most cases but are loved through natural development both onscreen and offscreen..same in case of mehrab..their love so genuine and holy that People themselves got attached to it as well as the show without any hype creation.. that’s how magical itv jodis are created along with iconic characters.. audience generally get attached to it through their performances and gracefulness that’s why mehrab is immortal for all of us…and talking about the new written updates about the leap..our dearest Snowflake is there sending out her hearts all over🤗🤗
And u know what @Radhika..Avinesh has unfollowed the entire ph(cockcrow and shaika) but not their owners…What a step👏👏
OMR!!! Did he really do that?? Imagine these people may have insulted and tortured him emotionally to such an extent that a wonderful person like him had to take this step on social media!! Shame on them.. shame shame on shaika and cockcrow..
Now I really hope he blocks or unfollow that nimrit too… her comments her posts her stories everything get on my nerves!!!
Yeah @Radhika u can check out who does avinesh follow on insta..one more thing one of the fans commented on nimrit post that she lived mehrab and the original cast and won’t watch the show anymore and said that it is just finish and disgusting and you know what krrishna soni liked that comment😂😂😂.. This man carries a lot of humour both on and off screen..a dhamaka pack.. But today is good day.. No more over promotions by the fl.. She might be gaining back her senses.. Hope that she does control it for a week or two then SM would be a happier place for everyone🤗
@pixelss.. which post of hers?? Promo or reel or pictures or what?? I wanna see this..
Oh yes.. seems like the man is package of humour
@Radhika..i saw that few days back and i dont remember about the post..and it clicked me suddenly today so i said u!!
@pixelss.. if its a few days old then it will be hard to find also… its okay.. thanks for sharing the info dear😊
