Dear Hammie,yeahhh your comment ! laced with quotes
😃Once again a brilliant post. 👏The episode held so many lies in parallel; Sakshi's lie to Anjana, Arjun's lie to Noor, Adi's lie to Mahi (that he likes her), Zosh about to lie to their clients. And centrally, PooSh's lies to their spouses (and cheating).It is very famously said that lying for good ain't a lie. And hence Aditya, the guy who hated his late wife for lying to him about going to Chennai and cheating on him, agreed to lie marriage to his clients for the sake of Zosh (his wife's boyfriend's company), its employees and most importantly for Zoya, who had been an innocent, loyal and loving wife to an undeserving guy. I would observe this lying as a giant leap of faith from Adi towards Zoya.so what I and many others see ... Zoya matters to him how much? and in what way..? he will figure out.. but as I mentioned before... they both are testing themselvesAs he declared that he was lying, that it was only a harmless white lie to tell his clients, I cannot help but remember the Liar paradox.Suppose a liar states that he is lying. If the liar is indeed lying, then the liar is telling the truth, which means the liar is lying. If the liar is not lying, then the liar is telling the truth, which means the liar is lying.brilliant quote...so.. which way ... a lie is untrue... depends how its perceived...There's another lie that Adi has said to himself, that he was doing these things to get "reaction" from Zoya. Did he really ask Mahi to pretend to be his wife? Why was he so happily grinning when Zoya accidentally slipped into his arms?I agree... see his eyes speak more than his loud mouth does... but before he is true to himself... there is fear of being rejected by her Tia... that's what I feel.. he's only just learnt he was rejected by his wife... Pooja that he loved...what if Zoya too thinks as she does, Adi is nothing but a joke! nothing he professes is serious.."Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others." - F. Dostoyevskygreat and most apt quote... seems to remind me of Adi. as he stands currentlyAdi doesn't understand grey, yet he is treading on a dangerous grey line. Since he is a hater of lies and cheating, he would soon loose the sense of what is lie and what is not. He better figure it out what he wants before everything else, and acting Zoya's guardian angel.at times how vividly he sees through Mahi's intentions... he even recognizesMahi will buy his gimmicks where as he doesn't stand a chance with Zoya.. gosh going by what you say... hope he isn't taken over by doubting Zoya in the story..And how would he do that?
"That which is false troubles the heart, but truth brings joyous tranquility." - Rumi
👏 great lines.. for its only the truth that sets you free ,from the aches of the heartWhat brings tranquility closest to his bruised heart? Exactly, that's the truth, the answer he is searching for. 😉..has to be Zoya.knowing both suffer a common grief.. jjjBTW, I was wondering, how pretending to be Mahi's husband make Zosh a family owned bussiness? Co-owner to Zoya hai. 😛his dramatics to vex zoya of course.. another act to bring her one step closer to him.. he knows Mahi will play along as she is not and never be a Zoya fan.. today's episode should be interesting Tia..Thank you for tolerating my quotation-filled rant. Your lovely post inspired me to write this. Keep them coming. 🤗this has well pleased me.. I win... get to read a great feedback, complete with apt quotes.. thanks mate keep reading and commenting ,much love hammie- Tia

hello shruthi 😃 was awaiting your commentBeautifully written post. I agree to your thoughts on marriage of convenience. But for a woman like Zoya even if its marriage of convenience, that marriage carries with it the responsibility of standing by the vows.absolutely... couldn't agree with you... she is marriage material... reliable will work at making her marriage work...Adi complimented Zoya in various ways though those words were hidden in sarcasm. He did play of words and Mahi didnt understand it.she is clever in a cunning way... but know enough to pick up on adi.. inferences disguised in taunts for ZoyaHe asked Zoya "Biwi banogi meri," so Adi is willing to trust this woman. He pauses and tells Mahi we need to pretend.yes... innuendo tha.. covered by his dry wit... but he has passed the idea by Zoya... and Shruthi I can tell you.. she knows the rascal meant it too!Again the precap the man says pehle tum apni patni ko mangalsutra pehnavo. The words have to be heard. I am not sure whether Adi will tie the mangalsutra or he will just keep it so that she can tie it. I am waiting for that scene. But the fact that when he heard apni patni it was not towards Mahi he went, but towards Zoya.yes I think... we all wait with bated breathe... Zoya dreads the moment ankien band!😆Why do I feel Zoya will think it is fake for him, but somehow the woman that she is she cannot brush off the sacredness of that symbol. She might behave in a fashion that will ensure the respect of that symbol, somewhere healing Adi. And I would really love to see the scene where she realizes that symbol meant more sacred to him than to her.these are beautiful lines,Shruthi... she has given away her sincerity.. loud enough for all to hear.. lardki fraud nehin hai... even in day to day living... second time Adi senses he may just be lucky..The first scene where Adi tells Pooja he had specially designed mangalsutra for her. So it did mean a lot to him. Mangalsutra is actually a symbol of trust between a husband and wife. The mantra chanted at the time of tying the mangal sutra is thisThanks for these sacred lines... upon which hinges the bond of any relationship... in marriage, we are morally bound to honour itMangalyam tantunanena mama jeevana hetuna: kanthe badhnami subhage twam jeeva sarada satam ( Meaning:"This is a sacred thread. This is essential for my long life. I tie this around your neck O maiden having many auspicious attributes. May you live happily for a hundred years (with me).)so its the blessing of the virtue of trust not for one but both husband and wifeA husband trusts his life with his wife when he ties the mangalsutra around her neck. A wife by accepting the thread agrees to ensure she behaves in such a way that at no point he has to stand in front of society with bowed head because of her. She agrees to be his strength. And the husband promises to respect her always for what she is doing for him.beautifully explained... and like I the onus of trust falls upon both and not just one.. personIt is a very sacred symbol if you know its meaning. And it is not child's play.truly..its accepted, recognized and passed through generations.. a symbol of the bond of marriage. Now it'll be interesting to see how Adi and Zoya will deal with the situation shown.. especially when in their past marriages.. the sanctity of the symbol was grossly defiled...thanks for sharing your precious views Shruthi... lets enjoy the moral tones of the story as well as human complexities ... much love,yours hammie.

Zoya impresses me.. Adi goes to say.. has a hand in itAdi idk..im amazed by his tactics.. how knowingly or unknowingly he s the reason fr Zoya's growth is the best part to me abt ths phase of story..yes.. what baffles me about him.. is that as much as he transparent... there is lot that is opaque about him..Hammie ur thoughts are gvng the episode much weightage n readers like me definiteely getting the crux of the story thru ur thoights.. luv n hugs fr doing them without fail..by now nusi you are familiar with the way I think and write... want to get as much as I can from the episode... you look after your self... much love, ever yours hammie
