Misti, I too enjoyed the sarcasm the most as it showed that human Radhika who could feel hurt at her father when he let her down during the kidnapping track. I loved the sarcasm where she didn't let Barkha know that she knows the truth. I want to see more of this Radhika than that sacrificing Radhika who pressured Dev into choosing Barkha. Well that Radhika was brainwashed and manipulated Even though my question is whether he got really emotionally blackmailed by Radhika or was it Dada. Actually your responses down shows that it was Dada all along. So he did chose Dada over Radhika (the old guy blackmailed him with his death). I hope they show more human Radhika from now on. yes I also want to see realization on her part that she made a mistake when she went with Dada's judgment of Barkha. A wrong is a wrong and going with untruth was wrong on Radhika's part and she is suffering from it. yes...I think Barkha herslef though her actions mightl do this for Radhika. It is better that she herself sees it through Barkha's behaviour than someone else telling her...because seeing by her own eyes will make her believe it more.
What I also liked in this scene was also a monologue by Radhika that everyone knows the true face of BB (hence showing that she is wary of BB too and is not sharing her plans with her). But she was unaware of Barkha's true face. So there is now total loss of illusion on Radhika's part. yesThe day before she was still thinking that Barkha has changed from that loving caring friend to this person who is obsessed about Dev. But now she knows that Barkha true nature was hidden from her. I would like to see Radhika linking her behavior from long time ago to all this and concluding that Barkha is a psycho.yes would like to see this thought process of Radhika..Will they show this as it involves Radhika more than Barkha. I sincerely hope they do but lets see..they actually have been showing it (they have shown the first three steps in Radhika realising what Barkha is), just focus on Radhika when you are watching the episode and u will see it... In any case, Rubina is very capable of showing all types of emotions as she has demonstrated in last few days. Just wish they would give her some powerful scenes (monologues) or with Dev where she is allowed to speak her mind.Yes
Avinash was very good and he did make selfish Dev come live. I really wanted to whack Dev on his head few times for his obnoxious behavior. This is the first after April-May episodes where I used to feel like that about his character every day.Well aren't we all at some time in our lives selfish towards the one person whom we love the most? and Dev has grown up in a dysfunctional family He never did make up for his behavior to Radhika at that time and now that she is his wife and has accepted to stay with him, he is repeating that old behavior. He expects a lot from her and then rarely apologizes for his mistakes. Its quite similar to what he did during Rohan fake husband time...he did apologise to Radhika for misbahving with her but knowing that he did wrong by forcing her to get married to Rohan he has never apologised to her for that (in the hospital scene he does tell Rdahika not to repeat his mistake so he knows that he has done wrong but hasn't said sorry)...he is doing the same thing now...he apologised for shouing at her and thanked her for saving the families name but he has not apologised to her for taking away her rights.
His behavior makes one wish that he loses Radhika for a short while so that he can understand her true value. yes he should loose her for sometime. Just protecting when she is in danger is not enough. He needs to value her and he doesn't at crucial times. So he is a taker and hasn't given anything so far. Lets see if there is some realization on his part. He is a giver when it is for others but for Radhika he is a taker because he takes her for granted and Rdahika has always given and has never said no.
It will be interesting to see what will be his reaction when he really acknowledged the true face of dada. That is a big question. Will he ever be shown having this realization? He should if they are serious about lifting up this show. They can have a powerful episode where Dev understands not only the true nature of Dada, but also acknowledges his own shortcomings. Avinash can easily act in such an episode as he is a good actor. But again will he be given such an episode. So far they haven't given him anything remotely like this. I wish they show that You are right about this vicious circle. Radhika's love for Dev is limitless and she continues to do things for him and never demand anything from him. There should be a limit to such behavior and either Radhika needs to put a stop to this or Dev needs to lose her to stop this vicious circle. There is a famous saying in Sanskrit (ati sarvatr varjyate) which means that too much of anything is bad. So too much love of love for Dev on Radhika's part is also bad as she enables his bad behavior.Also too much watering can rot a plant and too much love can kill a person...by killing it means stopping the emotional growth of a person...
Barkha - she is one psychotic person. Misti, your analysis was on target.thank you😉 She is jealous of Radhika since the childhood and her obsession does seem to be Radhika.this obsession had to be long one to have this affect on Barkha Since Radhika is the superior one, Barkha wants what Radhika loves. yes If tomorrow Radhika stops loving Dev and want somebody else, Barkha would go after that person. yes she will...she only wants what Radhika has...Also she is delusional when she said that Dev chose Barkha and gave her rights or that Radhika considers herself his wife. Was Dev made dumb in this scene when he didn't pick up on Barkha's words? Or was he selfish when he suggested that Radhika would never think like this.Dev did not choose Barkha he chose dada...as for Barkha she is slowly loosing her grip on reality...few more sessions with badi bahu will make her go over the edge.. Yes, you are right about this. Her delusion is increasing everyday and BB will continue to drive her over the edge. But again who would pay? Radhika most probably and also Dev.
Maybe Dev said that Radhika will never think this way because Radhika told him that she does not care what others consider her to be she just wants to be his wife at home....maybe he is worried about Radhika that he is not paying attention to Barkhas words and is just thinking that Radhika what is botehring Radhika ...I am holding back on Dev right now because want to see him more before coming to any decision....
Ok, I accept your view point here. It is possible that he is not paying attention now and later on these lines would connect in his mind. Would it be too late at that time?It might be, lets see what they show.
But shouldn't Radhika be allowed to think like that? yes she should...she has the right to Hasn't he given her rights to somebody else? yes he has Isn't she the one who is doing all the work and Barkha taking credit for it? Is it fair for Radhika. Why this amazement at Dev's part? He should be feeling guilty that he has taken so much from Radhika and she is suffereing because of his and his family's actions. That he and his family are enjoying everything because all the blame that should be his and his family's has passed to Radhika...Dev does realise that...he himself told Padma that he wants to give Radhika's rights...but the problem is that when he has to chose between RP that is dada and Radhika, dada is winning. Dev has been fed on duty and tradition since he was a child and Radhika is a recent addition to his life...although he loves Radhika he will chose duty...the only time he will choose Radhika is if he sees her in danger (which he did before)...
Ok, I see your viewpoint. But I am not liking this selfish Dev. He needs to pay for his mistakes. So far Radhika is the one who is paying. He is having his cake and eating it too. yes he does need to pay for his mistakes
By the way, I am still curious as to what is RAdhika's status in the society. She is present in all the functions with mangalsutr and sindoor. So whose wife is she being considered in the society. Surely, not everyone has selective eye sight. At this point, I wouldn't mind if Radhika has to go out with Rohan for some reason and somebody comes to Dev and then tells him that he saw Rohan with his wife Radhika. Maybe that would wake up Dev from his stupor and serve him right that his wife is being considered his brother's wife in the society.Angie you how the writers love to take what you usually write and twist it and give it back to us...so now that you have written I am getting scared.😉...but I would like to know what they think Radhika is to this family.
In conclusion, it was again Rubina's episode today and Radhika was the star.yes I liked her looking at Padma and Padma as usual giving her that helpless look. Padma likes Radhika a lot but would never give her anything that would adversely affect her and her son's interests (in this case family security and tarnishing of her son's name). yes...Padma will help Radhika if it does not affect her secure life...otherwise she won't. Yes.
