Chhanchhan is taking a very bold step ... will it backfire on her?! 😲
Again the precap left us dangling on the edge ... till then, I had no idea what Chhanchhan planned to do!
Updated 😛
Manav is becoming blinded in his quest to prove to Chhanchhan that she is wrong about his mother. He sees that Umaben gave Chhanchhan Manav's first salary ... but he did not note that she did so only on Dadaji's say so. So true is the old saying that one sees only what one wants to see.
Dadaji is one shrewd old man ... and very observant with it ... plus he is firmly on Team Chhanchhan. He notes the tension between Chhanchhan and Manav, and acts immediately.
A good point made there - the right to a man's earnings is first his wife's - and that's what he promises in his wedding vows as well. Of course, many guys - and girls - give their first earnings to their parents, and that is quite justified too ... but most of them are not such nithallas that they start earning only after marriage, most do so before marriage. 😆 Thus keeping both happy! 😆
Manav also did not see the bad grace with which Umaben almost slapped the envelope into Chhanchhan's hands. Dadaji noted Chhanchhan's graceful gesture of returning the money to Umaben with approval ... his position on Team Chhanchhan strengthens further 😃
Did Manav mistake Chhanchhan's feelings on the whole salary issue? Or did he himself feel guilty about not giving his earnings to his wife? Why did he ask her if she felt bad about it? Was it to make a point to her that his mother was gracious enough to give her the money? Or was it also to tell her the reason he did so ... a reason which Babuji has also mentioned in an earlier episode ... that the family has seen many ups and downs, and it was Umaben's cleverness?/cunning?/ smart thinking? which rescued them time and again ...
Again the ChhanMan scene was good ... the tension still persists between the couple, but easing very slightly ... till Chhanchhan ups the ante the next day herself!
Sweet Chhanchhan-Kaumudi kitchen scene, as Kaumudi makes pakodas for Mukut because he skipped dinner ... Mukut is lucky, he just doesn't realise it!
And Mukut-Kaumudi tensions also persist ... is Mukut having an extra-marital affair? For whom was he ordering flowers - orchid bouquet, no less! No wonder he is not happy with Kaumudi, that poor girl wouldn't even know what orchids are! And Manav is an idiot ... he can't imagine his brother having an affair, or in fact even thinking of another woman, so he happily tells Kaumudi bhabhi to expect a bouquet. She is going to be so disappointed when it doesn't arrive! Or will it? Another thing to wait and watch! 😛
And Chhanchhan decides to step on it ... not lose any time and get cracking. If she is going to find out whether her MIL is really playing tricks on her, Manav and indeed the whole family, CC is going to start her investigations right now ... no time like the present! But she has two goals in mind - showing Manav the truth, and trying to keep his relationship with his mom intact ... because he did threaten to break it, not once, but twice! And he actually walked out once ... he will do it again ...
So a very staged fight between Manav and Chhanchhan - staged by Chhanchhan, of course, carefully thought out ...
SN - Ranjana's face when Chhanchhan stormed off muttering loudly about Manav's anger was hilarious - mouth open, till she catches Umaben's eye and promptly shuts it! 😆
And Manav is totally befuddled as to why Chhanchhan is taking things so far ... poor guy probably thought he had sorted everything out last night, or pretty much so ... and suddenly Chhanchhan blows up over nothing ... he's never seen this side of her earlier! 😆 And Chhanchhan cleverly brings in the doubts Manav was voicing about her acceptance in the family ... all for the benefit of the eagerly listening Umaben ... enough truth in what she says to ring a bell for Manav, so that his worries about her anger are all real enough ... it seems justified completely!
Chhanchhan also tells Umaben not to say anything to Dadaji or Babuji ... so obviously, she does not expect it will take very long for this showdown to happen ...
Poor Manav comes rushing down to stop Chhanchhan from leaving ... doesn't say anything to Umaben about why Chhanchhan left, subconsciously following Chhanchhan's heated order ... but Umaben can barely hide her glee. Does she really think Manav will throw Chhanchhan out so easily?
Precap - I thought Chhanchhan would bring Sonali into the equation, because Sonali is her only proof of Umaben's intentions ... but will Sonali play ball?
