Hi angie.

What an episode it was eh? While there were lots of filler moments.. I thought addressing Ram's grief and the cause of his anger made the episode.

How many times have we banged our heads about this taken for granted line??? Innumerable... and finally hearing it from the man himself made my day. If there was one thing that rankled about Priya's life in the past 5 years is the fact that she thought there was no need to contact Ram... she says she wanted him to move on and lead a happy life when in reality it was she who had moved on. And she had... there is no question about it... she had constructed a life for herself with her child and was happy with it! She struggled yes and maybe she thought about Ram on and off but she had categorically moved on.

I think Ram's anger is more than anything directed towards Priya's staying away from him. He is not able to see how she could have not wanted to contact him..And that is why he wonders if his love is getting taken for granted. Every time he addresses Priya's betrayal... the first line he says is "You kept yourself hidden from me for the past 5 years" Going over the past 15 episodes, this is his first line.. reference to Peehu comes only next... but he is focussing on Peehu right now..Has anyone stopped to think and wonder why? Because he knows he will break if he wonders why Priya did not trust their love to withstand the storm that filled their lives... and also he will have to face the fact that she took his love for granted.. she thought he will move on!!! That hurts and it hurts like hell. That hurt is manifesting as anger.

Today when he put Ayesha in her place..he did not shout or scream like he did when she put natasha's secret out in public.. he just told her what he felt. Priya is the only woman who matters to him. While she thought that he had moved on... he knew that she would never think of anyone else!! What faith and what trust!!! So it is only natural that he react to being taken for granted!! People are aghast that he wants to separate Peehu from her mom... wonder why? Priya made her choice of leading a life with peehu alone... the best way to get to her is to show her how life would be without the one who she loves the most!!

And another thing that must be rankling in his mind... Priya had no intention of meeting with him this time too. The fact that she would have gone back to Dubai if it had not been for the accidental meeting must be grating his nerves like hell man!! He is not just reacting to her hiding, he is reacting to her wanting to stay hidden... that destiny had another thing to say is a vastly different story!!

There were some other parts of the episode that were not just heart warming... they were great displays of true emotion!!!! Natasha proved in her bindass style that she is a force to reckon with in her interaction with Ayesha..kudos to sumona for this... there is no other character in the show who has grown really 'slipped, fell, bruised, gotup. Dusted herself and started again- this gal has done it all and with panache and elan!!! GO NATASHA GO was the refrain in my mind.

The other heartwarming scene that blew my mind away was the heart to heart talk between Vikram and Ram . If Neha rushed to her children to offer them solace, where does Vikram go ' to see his best friend ' because no one ...sorry PRK fans... even Priya does not know Ram as well as Vikram does. Vikram realises that what is happening in their lives affects Ram a great deal and he rushes to him. What made the scene special was the fact that neither did Ram nor Vikram rant... Both projected their deepest anguish at the way their loves and lives were fragmenting around them and the fact that they were powerless to stop the tides of change. When I saw those hurt and anguish filled eyes of Ram when Vikram asks him about his constant love for Priya... my heart went smashing to a gazillion pieces... and my mind dropped it's jaw wondering how one person could, without moving a limb, portray grief, anguish,hatred,love,pain and anger in one stroke!!!

My dream scene of the day was undoubtedly this!!!

In fact this scene mattered more to me than the putting ayesha in her place one did!!!

Today's episode surely had its highs inspite of being a filler for the upcoming track. Devastation had struck home, closer to Raya. Two best friends homes being shattered with the news of betrayal and
a child. Would time let them heal or their experiences?

Thank you Cv's for listening. For showing us the hurt behind the anger. The wounded bull that was forced to rage on the one he loved the most.That was needed to know his anger wasn't mere madness but one that stemmed from being hurt the most from the one who he believed wouldn't.Flashbacks making their entry again. This time it broke our hearts to see not one but two couples. But their friendship is such that Raya could actually look at those incidents to wonder how relationships as golden as Vik Neha could be growing apart. Well, lets hope it gives them insight into their own. While Season1 was about a couple bringing their best friend's arranged marriage work. Looks like Season2 was all about both couples working towards their or against their marriage. Bring it on! Let the so called parallel leads dissappear and we cold go back to the awesome Foursome scenes!

The highlights of the day :

1) Nutz's RB mode : Woot!! now that's the strong independent woman I like. She takes no shi*. And give it twice as good as it gets. When Ayesha hits below the belt about Pihu and the additional baggage she needs to feed now, the lady rose to the occasion to point out she ain't eating her hubby's money. Family aren't considered X-tras and even she was welcome to have a meal. Showed her how even her own kid wasn't on her side. Loved it. Always had a huge soft corner for nutz coz she was one who suffered from a mother's love negligeance which showed up in Season1. But her character progression has been beyond fantastic. She isn't the PICTURE PERFECT bahu but one who has erred, failed but managed to rise above by acknowledging and correcting her mistakes. Bravo!

2) RaYa: They have their own baggages. The hurt,the agony, the guilt, the confusion were overturned by seeing their friends in pain. Priya running to meet Neha was a clear example of how they would stand in faith. Ram cares nothing more than getting his daughter right now. But when his friend walks in asking him not to question a thing but have a drink, he does just that. The flashback brought us those joyous moments that we celebrated. The two couples we fell in love with. Can the magic return?

3) GET -OUT : Today's phrase of the day. Trust me, i got Rejuvenated on hearing that. 😳 #Ram Kapoor - Love the man because he wouldn't take crap about his wife. Doesn't need proof for his own daughter. Even if it came from the only person who was probably siding wiht him and against Priya in this fight, it was still a clear and loud GET OUT! My ears were Rejuven..wait for it.. ated! :)

4) Taken for granted: The conversation between Vikram and Ram have always been a delight. We have loved them pulling each other's leg, Vikram trying to showcase his step family's truth, pushing his friend to see the love for Priya, standing like a pillar when Ram needed him. They are indeed the jai viru for Indian television. Today was a showcase of two men hurt by the betrayal(Iam assuming Neha's kid and Vik knowing about it later). In a way, it was only both of them that could understand what the other person was going through. Things to break takes more efforts than it took to make. And then it breaks at one instance. So apt for their relationships.
Dil ko chot wahi log paunch aate hain jo dil ki sabse kareeb hote hain!! And when those close to you betray, thats when your anger arises.! Ironic and true! Vikram knows his friend couldnt hate Priya so much since he loves her much more. The silence, the teary eyes says it all. But would we hear more that could show his vulnerability will be left for tomorrow.

Now how many times have I complained about the taken for granted part? 😆😆 I know quite a few similar minds had the same thought process. Did it feel good to hear that or what? Isn't that what causes strain in relationships? Being taken for granted.. And in this case for 5 years. Long time for relationships to be rotten. Well.. Lets see if this is easier said than done!

Nandini - You just spoke my heart...Bang On. Even I couldn't have put it out so well..How many times have we talked abt Ram's pain and Priya's Moving On funda? How many times have we talked abt his passion for Priya and hurt..? Countless... More than his pain...his anger was visible and misunderstood by all.

I loved today's epi and I've too many people to applaud for.

Firstly, it's Nutz. Wow..She just amazes me each time. Since the start of Season 1, She has consistently improved her skills and I love her expressions. Usually in a scene where Ram or Sakshi are cast, you rarely take your eyes off to see the other actors...but this girl really makes me look out for her. There was a subtle expression she gives, watching both the kids sleep...it has that cheerfulness and remorse. Loved each and every word of hers today..and how true they are..!! Ayesha...the more mean she is, the more better...Atleast people get to know her true colors. Ayesha-Nutz scene was so required to get Ayesha back to reality...and down to earth from the clouds. I wonder why Sudhir had to be quiet when Ayesha keeps blabbering such senseless things...!!

Ram-Priya & Vik-Neha flashbacks from Season 1...It was Awesome. It was so touching to see RaYa have reminiscences of Vik-Neha's influence on their Realization for Love.

Ram & Vikram...It's a treat to watch these buddies together. But today they both needed a shoulder and support. Finally Ram's Love and Hurt had surfaced through his anger. I'm glad that he opened up to Vikram, which is so needed for him.

Ram's expression, when Vikram tells him "Becoz you still love her...u cannot hate her" was so heartbreaking...why can't anybody look at his eyes and make out his pain..??? Instead of interpreting his lines, word by word, if we just try to look at his actions and expressions, they actually mean the opposite of what he says...his passion...madness...craze for Priya is still there and even more. But he just couldn't take that she could live without him for last 5 years.This happens only when u love a person madly...This is the emotion we have all wanted to see and voila...what a superb stroke...he did it excellently.. This Man can not only shout and yell and be mean BUT can also Love deeply and passionately..like nobody else does... We are so proud of him today for showcasing the Trust and Pride he has for his beloved wife Priya...however upset he may be with her.. He gets so protective about her when anything is spoken against her...he can't stand it. Also I would like to add that whenever Ram addresses Priya..it's either.."Meri Biwi".."Meri Priya" which is so adorable...But I have not heard Priya address him anything like that. She looks like she's on the verge of gift wrapping Ram to anybody who wants him. I would like to see Priya claim Ram...!! Overall it's a paisa vasool epi for me. :)
