Well, looks like Radhika has done a lot of growing up- what we wanted for her in 2009- she has come into her own. She has openly acknowledged the fact that she was, is and will always be Dev's wife. Just when things settle down, we find this Ravan played by Hiten trying to destroy their jodi. Hiten is a powerful actor. I hope he interprets his character his way without giving way to the yo-yoing of CB's CVs.
We know that Kanha is silently laughing at all these antics. However, we are yet to see a spiritually grown Rads- our wish from the time she went to the Ashram (with the Guruji with the fake white hair)- she is yet to see the "nature of the world" and recognize the intrinsic leela of all happenings and not get so emo about all this.
I am surprised that dadi, Dev's dearest friend and counsellor has taken to her bed in misery. She is a character of steel- my favorite female character in the show and we see her upset about Dev's "passing". She needs to stand tall with Rads and tell the world that her grandson is alive and her heart knows so- just ask us, Dadima- we will give you proof that Dev is alive and kicking.
Vaishali cannot but help be a watering pot- she is truly being in character. The mircha gang continues their silly machinations of rolling eyes and speaking cryptically.
All in all, a few character improvements while the rest remain just the same.
