The biggest culprit in pranbir separation is Pallavi, dida, sahana and Aryan. Pranbir were blaming each other, it was their duty to stop them. They didn’t even take care of prachi, they were expecting Ranbir to take care of unconscious prachi and Prachi was expecting him to go and search for panchi.
He was even ready to go with Rhea in search operation but none of the kohlis take charge if Prachi.
Even when Ranbir got news of prachi’s accident, not even Aryan accompanied him.
This is what I’m saying,both prachi and ranbir are right at their own place they lost their daughter and they’re blaming each other and no one is interfering to stop what’s is happening especially aryan and dida dida should have take prachi to her room while aryan take ranbir,but no everyone just stand and watch the drama
And we are supposed to think thay they couldn’t act as they were in more grief than actual mom and dad of Panchi
And if shahana is still their after 6years leap what will be her story,we knew she leave km after prachi death that’s means she’s not married to aryan,t
U will get her fresh story 😬
What purpose has she ever served in the show. She’s absolutely useless and contributes nothing to the plot. She’ll be shown doing what she always does, existing without any purpose and interrupting pranbir moments like a creep.
I know both pranbir were sad but what about family members if today pallavi had stopped prachi or just say Ranbir to stop arguing to Prachi she need rest then I guess nobody had any objection Prachi will be going in her and Ranbir on his
I think this is something we all agree.
On second thought I think only Dida or Sahana were allowed to interfere between Pranbir to stop their fight. Pallavi and Aryan must have been afraid that if they open their mouth blame will come on to their heads. In a way they must have been releaved that Pranbir blame eachother instead of blaming them. Aryan because Alia was his mom and Pallavi because she always supported Rhea and Alia thus letting things come this far.
If Prachi’s daughter is real, not imaginary, and if she has a father, then in the future, when Prachi finds his daughter and wants to reunite with her, the father of this girl is unlikely to allow Prachi to take his child with him, then Prachi will have to make a choice or she abandons the child she has been taking care of all this time either she gives up her own daughter, it’s not fair. And judging by the promo, I can’t translate it literally, but the woman seemed to say that no one knows who her father is or she was talking about her parents, then it’s possible that Pranbir’s daughter also lives with some woman who takes care of her, and in the future she will be separated from her. Perhaps Prachi has an adopted daughter, but Ranbir has no one, maybe this child who was shown in the presap is just a child who came to the puja, I just don’t know what it’s called when 7 girls are invited, given gifts, fed and all that, and Ranbir said about his mother that she did her makeup badly. It seems to me that this child is younger than 6 years old, she may be someone’s daughter, perhaps Aryana, Sid or the same Rhea. And Ranbir could buy all this for his daughter, as Pragya did every holiday and birthday, she bought something for Rhea. The fact that they changed the chain to an ordinary rope, it is most likely due to the fact that Ranbir bought a chain for his newly born daughter, but now she is six years old and this chain may not fit her, so she changed it to an ordinary black thread, besides, she lives poorly, and can’t afford to wear a gold chain and just wears his pendant on a black string. Maybe Prachi’s adopted daughter will meet her and bring her to her real mother.
I don’t want Prachi to abandon her adopted daughter for the sake of Panchi. So I don’t want Prachi to have an adopted daughter or a daughter figure in her life. Same goes for Ranbir.
Why will she abandon her adopted daughter?? she will take care of both of them equally.
Shreya, if Prachi decides to live with Ranbir after Panchi’s retrieval, and the father of her adopted child isn’t ready to let her child go with Prachi (which is obvious) then at a time Prachi can be available only for one of the girls as she can’t be at two places simultaneously
Would the bauji of adopted daughter allow it specially when they finally reunite Prachi with Ranbir and they decided to be a one big happy family with Panchi?
Unless something happens to her father and he gave entire responsibility to Prachi before he died.
Then you must have said that child and her dad adopted prachi as mom.
Prachi didn’t adopt mimi.
Still Prachi has become adopted mom for 6 years doesn’t matter who adopted whom
First of all I forgotted ranbir is in the picture.
🤣🤣🤣
Is episode coming today or tomorrow
I think tomorrow.They uploaded the precap of other shows but not kkb.
How long they will going to do this?
Till they get the trp they want
They are doing this for trp.Last time when they took two years leap they didn’t uploaded the episodes and precaps on time. I remember they used to upload the episodes in evening around 6pm on the day of telecast.
I agree with sanam that dida and sahana are the biggest culprit..they talk big of siding with prachi and the time prachi needed them the most they let her go alone in such a condition..toxic people
I don’t understand the relevance of shahana’s character in this show.When Ranbir said to shahana to shut up and if you want to go with prachi then you can go but what did she do? Instead of going with prachi she stayed in KM. She only left KM when she got prachi’s death news. What kind sister she is?
Exactly
But I still believe that it is the imagination of prachi as the girl is calling her father bauji..if no if some child calls his or her father bauji ,it won’t hurt prachi??? And if it is prachi’s imagination then she can’t be shown having memory loss 🤔
Yes Prachi’s part must be dream.
How desperately I wanted to see prachi having memory loss and not remembering kohlis and ranbir..my wish will never come true 😢
Best time to do that was after 1 month leapbut without her pregnancy. Now that she has a child memory loss track won’t work.
It can work..May be prachi feels connected with kushi when she meets her ..in this way if she seems kushi with necklace, she won’t recognise..May be it works
Sristhi, but shahana was there for prachi always. Let’s not talk about aryan and dida waste luggages in km.I think shana thought prachi will return, may be that’s why she didn’t go out.
According to me SHA❤CHI is the only true love in kumkum bhagya.
Shreya, so Sahana thought Prachi will return but Ranbir didn’t 🤣🤣🤣 I agree that Sahana and Dida is at more fault. They had all the right to interfere where as Pallavi and Aryan might have kept silent due to their own guilt
Why will he think as he ousted prachi???
Why will Sahana think that then?
Shahaba might have thought she can convince ranbir for letting prachi inside km. So she can bring her back to ranbir as she always wanted prachi with ranbir.
That’s why she tried to talk to him at that time.🤷♀️
And once Ranbir asked her to shut up and go after Prachi if she wants? Did Sahana still believed once calm down Ranbir will go after Prachi or let Prachi back into KM because whatever he said was just in anger? Then how come Sahana is correct to believe that but we are not. Or was Sahana so confident in herself that while Ranbir truly hate Prachi she would be able to convince Ranbir to accept Prachi anyway?
Ha yes believed that’s why left after Prachi’s death.
Fandomara I get shreya’s point..May be sahana thought prachi will come back( as she herself asked prachi to leave km many times but prachi never left) and may be sahana thought meanwhile she can speak with ranbir but still sahana’ s action is neither justified to let prachi alone in this condition
That’s the only true bond there but sometimes Shahana ruins it by being annoying. I find her very irritating.
Nope
RHEACHI is the best 😍😍😍😍😍
Cuz they are multiple relationships rolled into one : siblings, mother-daughter, cringe lovers, sautans, sisters-in-law
🤣🤣. That love story came to an end.
No no shreya that love story can start again ..prachi’s love for rhea is undying 😂 😃
Fandomara,So ranbir himself ousted prachi by saying I hate to see you face and get out.
Even after this he will expect my prachi will surely come to me shamelessly???
😂😂😂😂
Exactly
Not shamelessly but once calm down. Besides how many times he has stormed out but later gone back to Prachi after she ended their relationship due to misunderstandings caused by Rhea and Ranbir’s own actions last year.
He went back of her when prachi ended their rekationship but now it’s not the case here ranbir ended the relationship by saying nothing is between us just leave. So still he will except my biwi will come to me. 👏👏. After Prachi’s death what a performance by ranbir👏👏.
Anyway it’s wastage of time talking about this.
So you are telling after Prachi ending their relationship she can expect Ranbir to come back to her and Ranbir would even actually do it without Prachi taking back her words. But once he ended their relationship he can’t expect Prachi to come back or Prachi shouldn’t at all? Interesting
Don’t worry after panchi and pranbir will be together that time panchi will interrupt in pranbir scenes ,🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲 honestly they could have shown many things I still believe pranbir are becoming to early parents I get rishi and Lakshmi once get patch up and rishi propose Lakshmi then after that slowly there family will become big or may be they will bring something else I dont know just to keep this show alive kkb makers are doing every possible way to keep it’s trp
I’m totally disappointed with shahana more than dida and Aryan,when ranbir shout at her to keep quiet or she should follow prachi she just stood their doing nothing,she knew prachi is desperate at that moment she gave birth within few hours ago and she didn’t bother to followed her,but when prachi death news come,then she start her drama i feel like king her at that moment
*killing
🤝🤝
Both sahana and ranbir start drama after prachi’s death
🤣🤣
They’re both hypocrites,shahana start blaming ranbir,after prachi presume death they’re not ready to see their own mistakes that’s why they will just blame the next person,I thought after shahana blame ranbir then ranbir will blame his mom and say you didn’t even try to stop prachi she’s your daughter inlaw then pallavi will blame dida that you’re elder in this family you should spoke to prachi and dida will blame aryan that ranbir is your brother you didn’t bother to stop him,everyone what a shameful family
🤣🤣🤣
Toxic family..better prachi stay away from them and they can find happiness 😊 🙂
But Prachi also belongs to that toxic family. That’s why she started with blame game. Pallavi also has the tendency to blame Ranbir and never to accept her mistakes just like any other Kholi.
*Prachi also
No fandomara prachi doesn’t belong to this toxic family any more..ranbir ousted her from his house as he told her that she has nothing left anyone or anything for her in HIS house
Shristi I was referring to the behaviour of passing the blame and never accepting your mistakes. Prachi has it just like every other Kholi.
In the next series there should be intelligible answers, who lives with whom, who is where. The only thing is that the role of Rhea and Aliya should come to an end, because if Tina and Aliya do not show bts, it does not mean that they are not being filmed. In fact, it would have been better if Ranbir had written his daughter’s name on the medallion, then there would have been no confusion whether she was Panchi or Kushi, as they would call her in the future or leave her two names.
New beautiful bond in town. Prachi and her daughter. I love for this bond already 🥺I want to see a lot flashbacks on Prachi over those 6 years with her new family.
This zee tv is getting on my nerves..today we all wanted to see the episode to know about last part being dream or no and who is in which state ,, they will post it tomorrow..that too may be in the evening
Not zeetv zee5 😩😩
Sorry zee 5 😉
I just hate the stylist tripti how she is doing style for Prachi ….saree so boring at least change the design it’s the same old boring crap
Mugdha published a boring reel in her New look ( yellow saree) . She Also published a vidéo on all her performance when prachi Lost her baby panchi the all emotions that she portrayed . This IS the only vidéo that I loved 😍
I liked prachi in yellow saree however I wanted to see her in a complete different look after leap
🤔 she only posted in Yellow sari it’s means that After the leap her Real look start with Yellow saree . But regarding the purple Saree ?????
Her violet saree scene is true but I think only that child is dream. But she has scene in violet saree. May be mugdha had mood to do a reels in yellow saree not with violet saree.
May be she didn’t want to reveal her look before actual episode.
She could have posted purple saree after Friday
So I guess Nagpal knows that if he would show FL suffering, people would connect with her, instead if showing ML suffering so he makes Ranbir to say that dialogue, and audience forgets his suffering and connects with prachi
May be Nagpal is actually intelligent than we think. Now he will torture innocent Panchi too. So people will connect with her, sympathise with her and so watch KKB for her
Not at all.
If they show shameless, stupid prachi again .I am not interested at all..for me strong prachi is needed
Exactly 😂😂
I am really surprised that people actually think that after getting prachi’s accident news whatever Ranbir did was a drama.
And if that’s a true then everytime when Ranbir got injured while saving Prachi and whatever Prachi did that should also be a drama.
We can’t say excatly drama but it was a performance.
And pallavi is a shameless woman after prachi presume death she just called rhea and informed her our prachi is no more🤦🏻♀️
I will not blame prachi neither ranbir but this time I will blame the people that are around when pranbir are blaming each other,they’re just stand as if they’re watching horror movie,aryan dida shahana they’re the most useless characters
This is my stand too.
But I blame Dida and Sahana more. Aryan might have felt as it’s not his place to intervene due to guilt that this is all because of his mom.
Same feeling.
But fiddausy you know very well both are waste luggages then why you are disappointed by them??
This appy is so attention seeker 🤮 just mugdha posted her appreciation post she is always posting in her stories
So mugdha is also attention seeker??
Shreya, all people in entertainment industry are attention seekers as only getting attention, gives them money
😮.
But compared to other bhagya’s this kumkum bhagya crew is less attention seekers. If kkb crew tried to seek attention of audience by now Krishna will have followers more than 1M mugdha more than 1.2 and everyone from kkb.
No I’m saying just mugdha posted her video ….appy is posting for attention as if what great scene she did
Oh god honestly I didn’t liked Prachi’s look they gave her again saree I thought it’s a big leap.so.prachi can be shown on different look but it’s saree and look at the saree so typical boring nothing new on the design. 🥴🥴🥴🥴
And there’s appy promoting her useless performance yesterday. As if she’s proud of what Shahana did. I mean she lost the sister tag for me sorry not sorry 🤗🤗
😂😂😂😂
Mimi is sharing fan edit that refers to her as Panchi and RK’s daughter because only she will use bauji. Would she do that if she knows that her father in KKB is someone else?
In facebook I get people may live share the premier episode when it is released in zee5 or when it’s released on zeetv. So on weekdays sometimes previous episode in addition to premier episode will be shared as live. But why share Friday episode on Sunday night?
There’s a major difference in Mugdha’s performance and Appys. Appy barely did anything. Just said a few words to Ranbir. Mugdha portrayed all kinds of emotions, upset, anger, sadness, broken. That fan said Shahana lost her whole world 😭 really? Then why didn’t Shahana go after her whole world? Where was she when she was told to get out?
If she go out how she will get food?? Only ranbir can give her bread,apple,juice everyday that’s why she left her whole world.😔.
Didn’t you just said Sachi is the only true love?
Yes I said.🙄.
Even now I am sticking to it.
Compared to others Shachi is the true love.🤷♀️
Compared to Shachi, Rheachi is truer love and I am sticking to it
🤣🤣.
😂😂😂😂shreye
To be fair I don’t see the point in Shahana’s character anymore post the leap. A lot has changed since then. Prachi has a new family and possibly moved on, god knows what Ranbir is doing. Shahana must be busy with a job and Aryan. Plus the writers aren’t even writing Arhana’s story properly. They lost two great chances twice. Once in college, one before the leap. Arhana was starting to get close but they rushed with this leap and their relation is destroyed again. They are in their 30s do they even care anymore? Maybe they have moved on. What’s the point in bringing them back together after 6 years when there was nothing to begin with. They can just end their characters. Prachi will not be in KM for a long time. Shahana only stayed there for Prachi. But Prachi isn’t there anymore. So why bring Shahana back? All she does is interfere everywhere. We see more of that than Arhana itself. If the writers want to bring freshness like they said then end some current characters and introduce new ones. One thing neutral audience get bored of is seeing the same faces daily. This show doesn’t know how to progress. Shahana will be like 30 now can’t they just show she’s moved abroad or whatever. Will they have kept her single just for Aryan? It’s a bit mad. Aryan can be relevant as he’s the fls brother and the ml’s best friend. If Mili or someone else has come for him in those 6 years then that’s fine. But Shahana, Rhea and Alia are three characters that are not needed anymore.
* shahana must be busy with a job and Aryan moved on
TT, Shahana is more a sister to Prachi than Rhea is and Aryan a brother
But she isn’t related to Prachi in any way. Just because they have a close bond doesn’t mean Shahana will live with her and her in laws. She’s basically a guest in that family. And now has become irrelevant. Prachi doesn’t live with them anymore. When Shahana returns will she live with Prachi and her new family? Where’s her biological family? She had a grandmother. And Sarita. Why is she staying at others peoples house? As it’s been 6 years I wonder what’s in store for her. I don’t care about Shahana but I find it boring to keep showing same characters every leap. Audience get bored of it
And what has Aryan done for either of PRANBIR to help resolve their differences ??
And I doubt Nagpal gives a damn about the audience’s boredom….. entire 2022 is the evidence. There wouldn’t bigamy track in the whole of 2022 if the writer actually gave a damn about what we want to watch
He will only do whatever is profitable for him.
Only spoken true facts 🙌🙌
I want to know more about Panchi too. What was she told about her birth parents? Does she wanna see them one day? Does she have a grudge on them as she thinks they abandoned her?
She is a kid so they won’t show she is having a grudge on them.
You would be surprised. Have you seen our writer? Not that i want her to have a grudge, chances are less but it’s also not impossible
Oh waiter is nagpal so everything is possible.
Ranbir can be hated, but he can be pitied, a man who saw the death of his daughter and later found out about the death of his wife deserves pity at least. This is only a theory, but is it possible that if Prachi has memory loss, and the one who saved her had a wife who looked like Prachi and in order not to injure the child, he replaced his wife with Prachi? Then it will be possible to explain the presence of mangalsutra in a recent Mugdha photo, where she is in a sky-blue outfit? The characters of Dida, Vikram, Shahana, Aryan look like a suitcase without a handle, it’s not convenient to carry, but it’s a pity to throw it away.
YY,love the last three lines you wrote, suitcase without handle 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Totally agree.
Last lines 😂 😃 😄
TT is right about one thing though. Usually in leaps new characters are introduced. Some old ones are written out. What I believe is they should have ended Rhea, Alia and Arhana. The director even spoke about freshness. He doesn’t even know how to utilise this word properly. He can show freshness in the casting not just the story. Yhc for example is a very progressive show. Not just because it’s on a popular channel but the storylines, new characters, tracks constantly keep viewers gripped to the show. And now they’ve done a rebirth after a successful Rusha story. This isn’t just any regular short leap. It’s 6 damn years. A lot has changed or should have changed.
Ekta don’t have enough budget when it comes to kkb so they can’t bring new characters also.🥴. They are already in a poverty.
If she doesn’t have enough budget she can help herself out by ending some characters. That’ll save her money
Exactly
And moreover I don’t know what problem they gave with dusri peedhi no new entry of prachi is with a man then where is the new entry no news nothing no new side characters no change in look Prachi look is still the same just she was before 4months leap still same pattern boring saree ..I don’t understand if Prachi has moved on where is the family no news came of any character…look.at her boring saree look still looks the same I guess no progress nothing chii I just hate this leap no presentation nothing 🤮🤮🤮
How many comments do we have now on this written update??
I am seeing number 1023
Wow ..we are on fire 😂 😅 nagpal is having a lots of hiccups 😂 😃
He should be vomiting blood from the amount of curses he gets from all the 3 Bhagya fandoms
True ..he has destroyed the mental peace of all bhagyas’ fans
If the Kohlis are the one providing Shahana everything: food, luxuries, living off their money then why wouldn’t she stay back after Prachi left? Before she guest appeared in the Kohlis, Shahana was poor. After living with them for a few months all of a sudden she became rich and made her friend’s in laws house her permanent residence 😍 best sister indeed!
Poor those two grannies that Shahana left behind and forgot about
I wish girl with Ranbir might be Rhea n Sid’s daughter.
And when and how was she conceived??
If the girl was shown having 5 years..May be we can say that ( not logical but knowing nagpal we could have digested that ) but girl living with ranbir is shown to have 6 years
Now I feel ranbir is also dreaming. May be Trisha falls then they both comes out from dream and looks back.
I think pranbir are living imaginary life with their panchi.
I saw the promo now my opinion changed upside down.
She can be born premature and be only some months younger than Panchi.
Perhaps it’s the contract. Maybe the makers wanted to end some characters or some wanted to leave themselves but their contract isn’t expired yet so 🤷♀️
