Today's episode shook me. It brought back some memories which I buried deep down.
Dheeraj needs to stay behind bars for the rest of his life for slapping a depressed man. It was a new low. Imagine, Anuj, slapping Toshu for not being able to walk on his feet. Would it go down well with any section of the viewers? Mental trauma and physical trauma are equally challenging. Just as slapping does not fix a physical injury, it does not heal an emotional wound.
And, the worst dialogue, "Itni Si Baat Ke Liye Tu Bhabi Ko Chod Kar Chala Jayega?" I loved how violent Anuj became after this. "It's a damn big thing for me."
When I went numb after my miscarriage, my near-ones told me, "Who grieves like this for a 10-week-old unborn baby? It does not even have hands and legs", I was shocked, disgusted, and broken. Losing a child (biological/foster) at any age is one of the biggest losses. It's a wound that even time can't heal. Bereaved parents require empathy, not criticism. I cried for Anuj today. Marrying a divorcee with kids, respecting her, and supporting her are not heinous crimes that he deserves such a harsh punishment. Just because he accepted MAA with her baggage, he is not bound to throw away his child to make space for MAA's never ending baggage.
