So, no apologies from Dev yet to Radhika for putting her through the test. Based on what has been shown I am taking Dev saying to Padma that he will be losing Radhika not because he is scared of losing her but because he might have wanted to remind her what he will be losing when Padma uttered the Sita dialogue in her most pompous voice. He brought the matter out regarding forgiving Radhika by Barkha out in the open because he did take the pledge in front of everyone and hence he might have wanted to end this matter once and for all in front of everyone so that no more questions are raised on it. Since Barkha was going on and on as a broken record, he gave her a chance to prove what she thinks is true and he also got frustrated and maybe guilty (he looked down when Barkha reminded him of promise during marriage being broken) and being arrogant also said yes to the test...but now since according to him Radhika has proven his trust on her and Barkha is again continuing...he has decided to put an end to this ridiculous pledge which he now regrets taking (hopefully he has guessed that Barkha does not want to forgive Radhika) . I think he does not want to accept the fact that Barkha was wrong regarding Radhika attacking her and hence is trying to find each and every excuse that he can think off and wants to continue living in his bubble or may be buying time...The latter option is in case he is giving Rohan opportunity in the muth and giving him responsibilities so that he can take over if Dev wants to give it all up.
Dai and her parallel universe ...she wants babies now...Dev's babies with Radhika as the mother...has she thought what will be society's acceptance of that child? So she thinks what happened to Dev as a child was perfectly ok? Him being insulted as a child and as an adult due to being adopted was perfectly ok? This amba lives in a dreamworld of her own. What exactly does Dev mean by the term rights of a wife? Will Dev come out in society and say that Radhika is his wife? I hope this is cleared as soon as possible without bringing down Dev anymore. When Dev and Radhika ran away, Dev was adamant regarding having their relationship being accepted in society first before anything happens...I hope the writers remember that.
I liked Virat and Padma today because they were being true to their nature...Virat is furious that he is not being given the respect of the eldest son of the Purohits, his main bone of contention since he was a child...he is being given a chance to change but now it depends on him whether he changes or not.
Liked Padma too...She is not a happy bunny and does not like the fact that Radhika has won...well Padma was being Padma...the insecure person who has been insecure from the very beginning...yes she is a victim like chaya...but her insecurity and her habit of blindly trusting people whom she thinks provides her with security might be her nemesis. Her insecurity is making her equate Barkha to herself and Radhika to chaya..and her insecurity also made her stand quietly when her son was being spoilt. She used to answer back badi bahu when dada was ok because dada was her security...when dada took to bed she kept quiet and let badi bahu rule the roost because that dada was not there and also she might have been happy that Rohan was getting all this attention...that means Rohan's position in this family is secure, hence she is secure. This insecurity made her blindly trust dada...blindly trust badi bahu, blindly trust Rohan and maybe blindly trust Barkha...this insecurity also makes her show her mean side to the people whom she thinks is danger to her security. This characterization of Padma that I have written here is only based on Padma's dialogues and her behavior in this show...what the creatives have shown in this show. I will actually congratulate the creatives for creating this complex character of Padma (also congratulate Sushmita for playing her brilliantly)...but please stop from referring to her as a pure soul...her actions show her not as a pure soul but a weak one who needs the support from a very strong, positive and secure person to get over this insecurity issue that she has...that is if she wants to change after she realizes her mistake and repents for it...But I again don't know whether there will be retribution for her because now the creatives are saying that she is a misguided pure soul (as per Kanha's dialogues) when her actions and dialogues are showing something quite different...as a misguided weak soul who is ok so long her security is not threatened...if she thinks it is then she becomes a person who can abuse and hurt a person in the worst possible way...and can also become a manipulator.
Anyway today Radhika/kanha said that she/he cannot accept the pot of rasgullas because that is for Radhika and she is not Radhika ,...if that is the case then how is Radhika /kanah winning be similar to Radhika winning? I am talking about fridays dialogues. It might be Radhika winning if all this is an illusion...and this illusion started from the day Dev was in the muth and getting worried that he feels that something is wrong and Radhika is in trouble and Barkha trying to kill Radhika..that day Dev not coming to Radhika's rescue was actually defeat of Radhika's trust and faith in kanha...so the illusion starts for Dev by Kanha to show him what might happen if he continues in this path also he gets toknow the true intention of the people to come out of this mess ...and hence Kanha making Radhika win...otherwise if all this is not a illusion and R/K accepts that he is not Radhika then how is his winning equal to Radhika's winning? Another thing Dev feeling the presence of R/k...so I am guessing that according to the writers since to Dev R/K is Radhika hence his ehsaas is there...if the ehsaas is there then why didn't he feel the presence of Radhika when Barkha was hugging him like a khamba? I mean Barkha had to tell him that Radhika is coming and had to tell him that Radhika has gone...he asked her where is Radhika? Does this ehsaas in Dev have some switch?If it is not ehsaas then is it because Dev has lost his soul and hence he is behaving this way?
I am guessing that todays episode was a filler and a breathing space for the audience to relax before the next twist starts...keeping a very confusing script and dialogues aside...good acting by Rubina, Avinash and Mickey...specially Rubina.
