(AU) shaadi aesthetics - Rudra and Soumya got married a 2nd time

Rudra and Soumya spent weeks arguing, fighting and mostly annoying the rest of the family with how to go about the situation after their accidental shaadi. Everyone, even Khanna and the entire staff, would usually leave the room the second they started again because these two could be worse than Shivaay bhaiyya and Anika bhabhi when it came to yelling and shouting at each other. That’s why it was all the more a surprise to the family when one day they walked into the living room, holding hands, announcing that they’d give it a try. Rudra had watched KKHH the night before and realized that maybe it was his best friend after all, kyun ki pyaar dosti hai, and Sumo... well, she was just glad that her duffer finally came around. Shivaay insisted on them getting married another time, pure reeti-rivaaz aur dhoom dhaam ke saath, in front of their family and loved ones. Saumya, Gauri and Anika took care of the decorations and the theme. Everything was decorated in a subtle pink and white, with fairy lights, carnations and roses. The girls picked Tum Se as the song for their first official dance as married couple, which crushed Rudy’s hopes of dancing to Palat Tera Hero Idhar Hai. If he couldn’t get that, then he wanted to be responsible for the reception party and the music after with the help of his brothers at least. He insisted on making his special punch and you know how it went after... let’s just say Saumya had the proper welcome into the Oberoi khandaan and once the photographer sends the pictures they‘ll all find out what went down after Rudra’s highly questionable beverage of choice.

If you could make the IB girls (their character) to be in a relationship with other male desi tv characters, who would it be?

Anika: Mayank from Miley Jab Hum Tum.

Snark monsters who’d sass each other to death, in the best way possible. She deserves someone who’d challenge her and fight her, but is non-problematic.

Gauri (Kumari Sharma): Lol, NK from IPKKND.

He’s so cute and soft and worshipful and Gauri deserves someone who’s fully enamoured of her. Also, they’re different enough for us to get the lolz from watching them navigating life together, but again, he’s completely non-problematic and that’s what my girl deserves.

Saumya: Shravan from Ek Duje Ke Vaaste.

Both because I’m loving the Sumo/Shravan thing, and coz she’d be a good match for his casual sexism and fuckery by shutting him down with facts. Also, height difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bhavya: Neil from Naamkarann.

Hotass law enforcement couple alert.

Somebody started this petition to get Saumya back, I don’t know how effective it will be, but I feel like we at least have to try. Saumya as a character mattered to a lot of people and we weren’t even given a proper closure on her story. Plus the story of Rudra that is being shoved down our throats is forced and doesn’t make sense. Rudra and bhavya don’t even have any chemistry. I am tagging you guys because you are the most famous ishqbaaz blogs I know and I feel like maybe you can get people to sign this. we just need almost 150 signatures more. Please guys we have to atleast try.  @tellywoodtrash @ilovefusion @ishqbaaaaz @chashmishh

Hello TT ji, I was reading your really old IB lbs and I saw that you wrote that Annika was one of your fav female tellywood characters (early on in the show, when she doesn't take society's bs of her so called character assassination saving Shivaay from being deemed a murderer). Made me curious, what other tellywood female characters have you been a fan of?

Hello anon!

Oh man, I really really loved the Anika of yore. I miss her so muchhhhh right now. Oh well.

The following is by no means a comprehensive list, but just a few (lead) characters I’ve loved over the years that came to me when I received your question:

Parvati Agarwal (Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki): I always liked her best from among the leading ladies of the three big K serials (Kyunki, Kahaan, Kasautii…) Sakshi played her with this amazing strength and dignity, and she went on to be just an all-round badass as the show went on. She was my TV mom!

Zoya Farooqi (Qubool Hai): She was the draw of that whole show for me. She was so lovely and strong-willed and quirky and just… She literally lit up every life she touched. She was pure love and sunshine. I know they phased it out later, but I used to really love when they used to touch upon her interest and aptitude for technology, showing us a facet that girls aren’t really shown having in Tellywood.

Paakhi Shekhawat/Rathore (Tumhari Paakhi):  She was such a bright spirit, and so determined yet dignified in the way she fought for her position in Anshuman’s family. The sheer sweetness and brilliance of Paakhi made me overcome a show premise that I wouldn’t normally consider watching (child marriage, the hero already has a child, yet another urban/rural divide, etc.)

Aliya Ghulam Haider (Beintehaa): I was just drawn to her because she was a regular, no-nonsense forthright kinda girl who didn’t put up with bullshit from Zain, as much as she loved him. Perhaps the only female lead I’ve seen who has the most pragmatic approach to a marriage. 

Gauri Kumari Sharma (DBO/Ishqbaaaz): Reasons here. She isn’t flawless (as per my perception) but I love her, flaws and all.

For that matter, all the girls featured in Ishqbaaz, like Mallika, Tia, Saumya, Svetlana, even Bhavya to a certain extent… Other than Mallika, their characters never got due justice in the show, but I still love them. A lot.

*spoiler* Your reaction when are saw that Sumo is the third Nafratbaaz sister?!?

Plot-wise, it makes zero fucking sense. It completely negates her character from day 1 until now, and it's 300% obvious ke yeh awaiii ka ghusaaya hua plot point hai. But but but, Nehalaxmi’s ~~bitchface 😈😈😈 is giving me lifeeeeeeeeee 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽, and I’ll take more Sumo in whatever capacity they’ll give me. I know she’s going to meet a gruesome end, but can only hope she’ll murder stupidass Ruvya on her way down. (#TeamSumo all the fuckin’ way, babyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!! BURN IT DOWN MY GIRL, BURN IT ALL DOWNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥)

[tellywoodtrash]

For the anon who wanted to know what got us so hype for Sumo’s return!

[tellywoodtrash]

speed-reading...

... through the last week's written updates to catch up on whatever went down and i gotta say i've never rooted for svetlana more than when she's got bombs strapped to rudra. 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

COME ON, SVETLANA!!!!!!!! BLOW THE BITCHHHHH UPPPPPP! 💣💣💣Khatam karo saara siyaapa (so my girls sumo and bhavya can fall in glorious gay love and be with someone who really deserves them, i.e. each other!!!!!!!!!!)

[tellywoodtrash]

Hey TT! How have you been? No live blogs for two episodes :( Hope to read them soon! Also, (*spoiler alert*) did you see Leenesh's insta story? Our very own Saumya is backkk on IB! Thank the gods above. I just want the writers to not mess up atleast for this storyline (whenever it starts).

Anon 2 says:

TTJIIIIIII LEE AUR NEHA KA IG STORY DEKHOOOOOOO

Anon 3 says:

IS NEHA MAKING A COMEBACK?????

Anon 4 says:

Aaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Apparently Saumya is going to be back on IB!! 😀😀😀

Anon 5 says:

TT, NEHA’S BACK ON IB SETS. Well, from her picture with Lee that’s what you get and the caption said ‘Swagat nahi karoge humara’. Honestly, as someone who’d only watched the first 60-70 episodes of IB before DBO, it brought tears to my eyes. Can we finally get the amazingness back? Her and Mallika were baes. I do wonder, if she’s really coming back to the show then what that will mean for Bhavya and Bhavya-Rudra?

Anon 6 says:

OMG! Did you see Lee’s instastory? Looks like Neha is back on set, and she might rejoin IB! Wow! I would so want to see Soumya back. But now I’m worried that audience would start demanding Ishaana back too, if Soumya comes back. I love Gauri, and I never liked Ishaana, she was such a cartoon. But Om fans really seem to like Ishaana and want her back, instead of Gauri. What do you think?

First off, *group hugs all of you* 

This is the best fucking news I’ve seen about this show in AGES. AGES!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

(Special shout out to @theincorrigiblemagpie, my partner in lamenting the loss of the amazing character of Sumo! Look, sometimes whining @ the universe brings results!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😝😝😝)

@ Anon 1: Slightly burnt out by this work week, not to mention bored (“Laal Ishq” was okay and all, but hella underwhelming in allllll ways for me. *sigh*) so I decided to just take a break for a few days. The lbs should be up by tomorrow! 

I really wonder what capacity they’re bringing Neha back in… Is it a cameo, or is she going to be here in a more long-term role? My instincts say she’s here in an cameo (perhaps an extended one, ala Additi Gupta) and she’s going to be a catalyst in the Ruvya relationship. Probably Sumo beating some sense into Rudra in her no nonsense style and telling him to get his head out his ass and just get over his issues and accept he loves Bhavya or soemthing.

I hope I’m wrong though, and they reinstate the RuMya relationship, and just let Bhavya out this forced relationship, and go live her best life. In every way, Rudra is wrong for her and just holding her back; whereas Sumo is better suited for him and wouldn’t let him jerk her around. Not to mention, ShivKara wouldn’t LET HIM because of their emotional investment wrt Sumo. PS - I’m hella excited for Om/Sumo (even more than RuMya.) They were my OG brotp for this show and I have ALLLLLL THE FEELZ for them. OM’S CHOTI BEHAN IS COMING BAAAAAAACK, ALLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!! May they give takkar to ShivRi in the “adorable adopted siblings” dept, coz this show really needs to give me my platonic love fixxxxx. 

@ Anon 6: Om fans may like Ishaana and all, but honestly, if the writers didn’t know how to write for her THEN, when she was part of the core 6, then they sure as fuck haven’t magically figured it out now. In any case, Ishaana and Om never really developed romantically (even as much as Rudra and Saumya did, and that was like… what… 15%?) so even in the HIGHLY unlikely chance that she did come back, she’d have zero impact on Rikara as a couple. Riddhima/any other ex would have waaaaay more of an impact on their plot than Ishaana, who was a minor blip on Om’s radar. At best, she served as a lesson on judging people, rather than a serious romantic prospect.
