It was Uma Ben's show all the way ... a Machiavellian performance ... she doesn't even take her own husband into confidence, and is fooling him as well as her laadla son. While I HAVE seen mothers like this, who insist their children marry their parents' choice, usually both parents are involved ... or the father is at least supportive. Here Manav's father is also kept ignorant of his own wife's tactics.
The sons again are on their own trip ... their idea of UB's last wishes all center around property and wealth ... they don't seem to be very bothered about her actually copping it 😛
Finally the Sarabhais had the conversation I was waiting for ... where they discuss that they need to meet Manav's family ... since the ChanMan love story is all of three days old, I didn't find it all that belated ... in fact, for a love story, it reached the stage of marriage pretty quick 😛
I felt sorry for Manav ... or rather, I tried to imagine what someone in his place would feel, then I felt sorry for him ... he is really caught between the devil and the deep blue sea ... I don't blame him so much for abandoning Chhanchhan and his love story so quickly ... his mom really left him with no choice ...
So let's see what Manav will do ... or rather, since he seems to have turned into usual Mamma's dikra boy, let's see what Himanshu and Simple do ... they seem to be far more enterprising. Have a feeling Chhanchhan will also play the sacrifice card at first and tell Manav .. jaa Manav ... jee le apni zindagi ... mujhe bhool jaa ...
(Not that I blame her really 😛)
