Just finished editing the whole of MJHT (to the unversed, I like editing my comfort tv shows - which includes tweaking plots, characters, tracks, etc) and now I'm a big pile of emotions cause I edited an ending recap which is the whole show in 17 minutes...

The endings always get me.

Samrat asking Gunjan in parallel universe.

Did you ever love me? Every time you got first opportunity you tried to run far away me? Why did not fight for me for our love.

Was our love not worth fighting for?

Jalebi, I've always wondered why Khushi seemed to have her hair down during the episodes where Arnav was kidnapped? I feel like it meant something and there was some intent behind it, but I never figured it out, and I think there's no one better than you to ask. So, why do you think Khushi had her hair down when Arnav was away?

Because Arnav was her hairstylist, hence without him she couldn’t pin her hair.

(Or Barun was Sanaya’s cause her hair returned to a better state when he was back 😂)

Honestly I have no idea. Sanaya is so easy to style but all her shows only style her hair right for half of its duration 😂. For Rangrasiya and IPK it’s the first half of its runtime, for MJHT it’s the second half.

Rangrasiya first half

(wow, so simple and beautiful)

Rangrasiya second half

(what’s with the fringe???)

IPKKND first half

(legit stunning, you can’t even see the wig and my heart is dying)

IPKKND second half

(sorry I love Khushi but what’s with the weird dated fringe and bangs and a very visible wig ?? And it gets worse - her bangs get better but the wigs keep growing higher 😭)

MJHT first half

(YOU CAN LITERALLY SEE THE WIG, THEY DIDN’T EVEN TRY 😭)

MJHT second half

(look what the small change does 😭)

So I don’t think it’s anything symbolic, I just think they tried to experiment with a style that didn’t work. They got heavier with her makeup as well which didn’t work much either in my opinion. Sanaya really shines with less makeup that enhances her eyes and keeps her lips light.

And if you do want to read a lot into it, we can just say Khushi wasn’t in a mood to dress up without Arnav. Which again, I don’t think is the intent because they DO knew how to show their characters suffering in lack of clothes and makeup - which is Anjali without Shyam. It’s evident they toned down her makeup and hair to show she’s a shell without Shyam. But with Khushi everything else was same.

So, a bad hair experiment.

Something about watching mjht again is making me so sad like ugh it reminds me of like early 2000s wale shows that aired on Star One, and I grew up on that way before Channel V even though I was a teen during V ka hype, but Star One had some good original premises yk (maybe not pkyek but I was a sucker for that nonetheless), like seeing people in the show wearing what was considered cool then is funny cause most people now wouldn't be caught dead in those low rise skirts or whatever but it is good to see because these characters act like teens at least, they're petty and make mistakes and study and have things other than sex on their mind (which I'm so tired of ott shows for, have they not met a good part of Indian teenage population ?) It's sad because ik for a fact that ITV could have grown to do much more each time the creators take risks, the audience fails them and we're stuck with the same show with different names on loop. Like the creators of mjht could have very well just stereotyped Mayank or Sameer as just a nerd or just a player but they are more than that, and for once the girl in the glasses is not a timid scaredy-cat, she may be quiet but she stands up for herself, I am not in my Nupur lover era yet so I'll hold back thoughts on that but yeah the show is making me very very nostalgic, I can't believe I miss the times when I was barely even aware of the world outside my house but I am.

MJHT Rewatch, Day 1

With the most amaze rewatch buddy, @jalebi-likes!

kehte hai khuda ne is jahaan mein sabhi ke liye, kisi na kisi ko hai banaya har kisi ke liye, tera milna hai us rab ka ishaara maano mujhko banaya tere jaise hi kisi ke liye...

In Mumbai's Excel College, Samrat describes his dream girl, who we meet over in a classroom in Morena ✨

"Mere liye ek special ladki hogi, jisse dekh kar mera dil bolega, killer dude!"

"Jab woh chalegi, toh aisa lagega jaise 1000 metallic guitars!"

"Aur jab woh mudegi, toh aisa lagega jaise, rock performance ka drum roll! ""Mujhe jo ladki pasand aayegi, she'll be the best!"

"Mujhe jo ladki pasand aayegi, she'll be the best!"

Meanwhile in Morena, Nupur's sure her rajkumar (sapno waala, not dress material waala, in case there is any confusion) is in Mumbai, and she's right! ✨

"Jiski baazuon mein itna dam ho ki poori duniya utha le..."

"Sabki zubaan par, sirf ussi ka naam ho, jisse dekh kar, poori duniya ruk jaaye!"

kuch toh hai tujhse raabta, kuch toh hai tujhse raabta, kaise hum jaanein, humein kya pata, kuch toh hai tujhse raabta...
