@Jyoti: Lovely episode analysis as usual!👏👏👏👏
For me today there were four clear highlights in this episode:
1. DS clearly on the side of Manyata
I expected Uday, Unnati and Vijay to be on Manyata's side and it was very sweet that all of them helped her all night to prepare for the test. But the surprise element for me was when DS's expressions during the test showed that she was on Manyata's side also. She was clearly concerned when Manyata could not match Jay's method of counting the grains using servants. She also told Jay "You have not yet won so keep your showing off under control". To me clearly clearly DS was on Manyata's side. I suspect Komal also secretly is on her side. As I expected Brijraj behaved like a piece of crap today,
2. Manyata talks of her love but does not mention Akash
The second highlight for me was when Manyata tells Vijay she wants to do this test not for the raj gaddi but for love. But THANKFULLY she does not take the name of Akash! So I think the CVs have at least created a vacuum here that soon Uday can fill. I would dearly love Uday to be the love that Manyata refers to. By the way when Uday entered the room to help Manyata with her lessons, the look of love in his eyes was plain to see. I wish sincerely that Manyata would reciprocate that love. He deserves it.
3. Vijay shows his true colours as an able helper to Manyata
Although till now Vijay has always looked like a sidekick to Jay, today by switching loyalties to Manyata he has shown his own true intelligence. Also when Manyata says she does not want to cheat and win, Vijay understands and upholds her good intention - he decides to accost the small pandit and use the method of unveiling the culprit and preventing further cheating by Jay instead of using any underhand cheating methods himself! The hug he and Manyata shared was also special. In every way today I think Vijay would make a good minister if Manyata gets the gaddi. He is funny and naughty but he is not ill-intentioned. Plus he is clever whenever needed.
4. Unnati takes Uday's case forward with Manyata
It is absolutely sensational that the precap shows Unnati discussing Uday with Manyata and asking how close Manyata has become to Uday, and Manyata confirming that she relies on Uday only nowadays! This role of Unnati as the Cupid is always one that I wished to happen. At last it is happening. Unnati is a "realist Cupid", not a silly or mushy Cupid. She has already told her brother that he should be satisfied with Manyata's friendship and not push her for her love. But now slowly Unnati herself is trying to get Manyata to gently agree that Uday has become indispensable in her life. This is the hallmark of a true realistic Cupid, who does not blindly try to bring together two people, but instead slowly and gently helps them to bridge their differences and reduces the gap between them till they can themselves fall in love.
All in all a good episode. I think now Manyata will win Round 2 & 3. That may happen this week. After all the contests are done I wonder how Jay may react, and what will be the future of the Manveer track!
