Kahiin KIssi Roz - Ramola and Shaina (The early days)

As explained in previous articles, the main story line in this 714 episode series is is the ongoing vendetta between Ramola Sikand (Sudha Chandran) and her daughter in law Shaina (Mouli Ganguly) who has the misfortune to be married to Ramola's son Kunal (Yash Tonk) who Ramola secretly despised too. In general it was Ramola who held the upper (and gun) hand but not always.

To revisit a scene from a previous blog article Ramola's first overt act against Shaina was to hunt her down in an apartment block along with one of Ramola's helpers.

Once Shaina became wise to Ramola's intentions it was her turn to act the bad girl. First she coerced  Ramola in to taking her own life though of course that never happened.

 

 Next Shaina donned a bob wig and terrorised Ramola in a typical soap opera device of a dual and mistaken identities.

After these initial confrontations it was Ramola who triumphed by immolating Shaina, Kunal and her children in a particularly shocking episode. However being a Hindi serial Shaina was reincarnated and in later episodes they again locked horns. These confrontations will be covered in later blogs.

Storyline - The Rajpuls.

The next article on this series covers the period up to episode 300 approximately. After Ramola was revealed as the person who was making her Shaina's (her daughter in law) life a living hell the series seemed to veer off from this plot strand for a little while.During this unwelcome hiatus we were introduced to the Rajpal family who were competing with the (Ramola) Sikand family in business. Fearing for her sanity and safety Ramola often prowled around her home, pistol in hand.

Even in the office Ramola undertook some unorthodox business practices as can bee seen from the screen captures below.

The Rajpul family were primarily the evil father (DJ), wife(Avanti) and daughter (Devika). After a series of confrontations Devika plans to shoot Ramola, Shaina and her always bemused husband Kunal.

It was left to Ramola to kill the Rajpul clan and put an end to the scheme's of the rival family. However Avanti became a persistent antagonist in later episodes.
