Real mixed with reel - DTN pg 1

Mangala free episode. Atlast. It was nice to see an episode involving Nimboli without Mangala trying to control and object. Atlast CVs let go off their precious discovery Mangala for atleast one episode.
Anandi's complete family enjoying and participating as any true normal family. No BH and no Mangala.

I think Shivam looked very pretty as a girl and he even unconsciously imitated Nimboli's walking style.
And Nimboli looked like a thousand bucks like a boy.

Kundan was fooled.

The boy who played Gandhi did well.

Want to see more of Sarita than depressing Mangala.

After really long time felt like I was watching Balika Vadhu of old times.

Good that people saw the kidnappers and the vehicle and more importantly Sarita saw this.

My question for all of you is: How did Mangala not join the fashion show? How did she stay back? Normally she is like velcro and stuck to her "mhaari chhori." Even when she is told to stay back she is adamant about joining in all of Nimboli's activities with the BH residents.

Whatever the circumstances for Mangala to be absent, they must be reproduced repeatedly for the show to move on from the stagnant place of underhanded politics of divide and rule. Perhaps Mangala can be sent away for a few days somewhere.

Further, it would be nice if the show progressed towards Mangala's unmasking. There are so many ways to start doing this:

1. Kanta (the one with the sick husband, who was supposedly going to Mumbai to get him treated, but instead is roaming around Jaitsar, attending melas and haggling over bunches of spinach) can try to pawn the kangans to a jeweler known to Dadisa, who then calls Dadisa.

2. Nandini/Nimboli blurts out something about meeting her "mother" in the mandir.

3. There is another encounter between Anandi, Nimboli and the redoubtable Kanta.

4. Someone from BH overhears Mangala fill Nandini's ears with untruths, and witnesses her manipulating the child.

Let them do something other than replaying the same old dynamics.

Yes. The story needs to move on.

I think Mangala is already unmasked before ananth and Dadisa. It is the others who are not aware. She should be unmasked just the way others who play these games are unmasked. Like DB, Teepri etc. Because negativity from her will affect Nimboli more than anyone else and she deserves a break from her life saver. The life saving act is undone when Mangala forgave Kundan and let him loose on others.

I think Nimboli knows something is wrong with Mangala but out of gratitude and fear she is not prodding enough.

Nimboli's heart broke many times and knowing Mangala wont make her traumatic anymore. She will forget about it just like she used to do previously. Nimboli will come to her own judgment and will forgive Mangala. But will be wary of her and her words if she is smart enough.

It was not just an episode free of dark shadows but full of positive spirit with the theme woven into the scene so well.

Want the writers to take forward what they showed yesterday.. LIttle N said those lines with a feeling..Question is - did she really get the import of what she was saying?? and Shivam too? Do not know if Anandi had the time to explain to them what they were enacting..
