EK has always, always managed to keep the drama quotient up in all her soaps, barring the occasional slip-ups and faulty plots..
With YHM starting on such a realistic note, she has managed to bring in even more realism with Shobha's journey into attaining her independence...
I am thrilled that Shobha hasnt been showcased as a puppet in fate's hands, and has charted the course of her life by doing something basic and much needed - being financially independent...
I do not mean to classify all accomplished, noted men in the society, but today's episode does shed a light on how most wives of such filthy rich, politically-connected husbands fare in real life -- they are treated no more than "trophy wives"...an atrocious term indeed, for any woman!
Sonali perfected the role of the hurt, betrayed wife to perfection...the defeated look on her face when Samarth bluntly told her he could do without her, that he never loved her, that she was daal-chawal-roti-paratha watever, and the silent tears rolling down her cheeks moved me...though I have never been in such a situation before, it pained me to see how devoted and loyal wives everywhere go through this same shit day in and day out...of living out a loveless marriage...
And I know Sonali aka Shobha is going to rough it out and not try to make it "work"...a relationship that's beyond repair needs no "working upon"...This is a wonderful portrayal of how affluent men think they have women rolling at their feet and can make them grovel and beg for their happiness...while Shobha's fightback to this ugly scenario would be, in equal measure, a portrayal of why a woman doesnt need a man to validate her self-worth..
And for once, I can proudly say - women have the potential to understand each other's pain if they open their senses and hearts...Sharda supporting Shobha at her worst, and finally coming to her senses is a wonderful victory indeed..
We just need to wait and see how Samarth's exit from her life, is going to create the solid foundation of love between Shobha- Vikram!! Kudos to the CVs!!
