Todays episode was a very poignant one. It started with everyone from
the Thakkar family gathered around and talking about the competition.
Baby keeps telling Minakshi that she will win. Anish and Dimple are also
acting lovey-dovey. Lila tells Dimple that she wants to talk to her and
leads her away. However, at that very point they start announcing the
prizes.
Subodh and Minakshi win the 5th prize and Subodh says that he would
like to be Minakshi's husband for the next 7 births. Mitali and Pravin win
the 2nd prize which is a trip to Goa for the entire family and Pravin tries
to exchange the gift for cash. Dimple and Anish win the first prize and
Anish tells Dimple that he is going to announce that he loves Dimple.
Dimple asks him not to however, anish says that they have to do it some
time so they may as well tell everyone in the family now. Anish announces
that he is love with Dimple and everyone in the audience cheers for them.
Baby is shocked at this news and tears start rolling down her cheeks.
Gattu too is very upset as are Lila and Pravina. The rest are puzzled.
Anish says that he will not get off the stage until the family cheers for
them. Pravina tells Baby that she and Lila know the truth. Baby removes
her arms from the crutches, asks her bhabhis to hold her and starts
clapping. Pravin is puzzled and asks Pravina what the matter is and
Pravina tells the family that Baby loves Anish. The family is shocked by
this. Baby asks everyone to clap and on her insistence everyone cheers for
Anish and Dimple. While they are making their way to the family Baby
tells the rest of the family not to mention anything in front of Anish and
Dimple and pretend to be happy for her sake. Gattu is upset at this and
walks away. Anish and Dimple come there and Baby congratulates them
and berates Anish for not telling her earlier. Dimple asks if Ba would be
ok with this and Baby says that she will talk to Ba. Anish tells them that
he will give them a treat at his place. Once everyone leaves, Baby is
surrounded by her three bhabhis and she tells everyone not to cry at
Anish's place
At Anish's place the family is very morose and Baby asks them to pretend
to be cheerful. Anish asks them what the matter is and Baby says that
they are all tired. Anish announces that the food is ready but he says that
Gattu will eat first. Gattu is no where to be found and so Dimple and
Anish go looking for Gattu. Gattu is sitting in one of the rooms crying.
When Anish and Dimple come there he starts beating Anish and then
expresses his displeasure at Dimple too. When they ask him what the
matter was, he tells Anish that the romatic scene that he did on the stage
he should have done with Baby, since Baby loves him. Anish and Dimple
are shocked.
My comments: The acting was SUPERB in this episode. It really touched
me to see the way Baby handled the situation. The rest of the family was
good too and the best part was that there was no melo-drama. A special
mention must go to Deven Bhojani. That man is an actor par excellence.
Today the sadness that he potrayed for his darling sister was amazing.
One could see the anguish he felt for Baby in his eyes. His potrayal of
Gattu is the best piece of acting that I have seen on the small screen in a
very long time. I wonder what will happen next. As much as I like Baby I
hope Anish and Dimple dont sacrifice their love for her, because it would
not be love it would be pity and it would be so wrong. Baby deserves
someone who can love her with his entire heart and soul and with a family
like the Thakkars she does not need anyone's pity. What do the rest of
you think?
