@Jyoti, very nice take ... and I share all your worries about the future track of this show after the coronation??? π²π²π²π²π²π²π²
But let me put that aside for one minute and give my comments on today's episode first ...
That scene of the announcer announcing the entry of Prince Udayvir Singh, and then Uday appearing at the top of the stairs in full princely costume, and walking slowly down the stairs was absolutely fantastic ... uff, all my skin is breaking into goosebumps! Oh boy, how fabulously romantic and he was looking like Greek God!πππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππππ
The scene of Manyata getting the shahi snan was a bit dragged out but I suppose that is inevitable as they have to show that the crowning ceremony is an elaborate process!
The stupid idea of Jay's to give Manyata an apple ... oh God, what is this, yesterday they pinched the idea from the Arabian Nights story to introduce the poisonous snake and today they have pinched the idea from Snow White to give manyata the poisoned apple?
At this rate, why don't all of us in the forum give a gift to the CVs of all the fairy tales we can find, so that every day they can pinch some part from every story and make it into a murder plot by Jay???
Although Jyoti, you have given a brilliant idea that Manyata may be faking her bite of the apple and faking her unconsciousness, I feel she may not be faking as the SBS today showed her looking very groggy and she is brought by Uday to the crowning ceremony holding hands tightly and all through the crowning she is still groggy. So I guess Uday saves her from death and brings her himself to the ceremony and she goes through it still feeling under the weather! Luckily she only took one small bite of the apple so maybe she was safe.
Uday concern for Manyata today was very touching ... these days he always has a lovely expression in his eyes whenever he thinks of Manyata, and his eyes are always searching for her, like in the havan scene she was also searching for him!
The most important part of the show today is, I feel, the conversation between Brijraj, Giriraj and Philip - there Giriraj is seen assuring Philip that even if Manyata becomes Yuvrani, Brijraj will get her to sign the Philip contract ecause Uday as her husband will see to it that Manyata signs the contract! (This is where I think all these three foolish men are making a mistake, because Uday will only tell Manyata to do what is correct and good, and will not force Manyata to go against her conscience. This Philip deal implies that the people of Devgarh will become homeless as their lands are taken away for building resorts and hotels, which Daadi and Manyata will oppose, I am sure, and Uday will support Manyata only.)
The second part of the story I found very important is the dialogue between Jay and Uday where she says Manyata does not know that if she wears the crown she is going to be forced to marry Uday, whereas she thinks she is becoming Yuvrani for the sake of finding Akash. This is again a mistaken impression by Jay, I feel, because soon after the crowning I have a feeling manyata will develop genuine love for Uday and may be ready to marry him (especially f everyoe tells her that it is for the contract with Giriraj which cannot be discarded as it is a question of family honour).
Komal has already told Manyata today that after she wears the crown, she has to disard the girl inside her and become the yuvrani answerable to family honour and the praja.
Maybe we are now heading for the track where on one side the contract etween Daadi and Giriraj for Uday-Manyata shaadi will come into focus, and also the contract with Philip. These two contracts may now take the stroyline whereby manyata may have to marry Uday (for family honour) and she and Uday may have the dilemma of the Philip contract to deal with together.
Maybe Manyata will marry Uday initially for family honour but she is already half in love with him and she may discover more love after marriage??? Hope so!π³π³π³π³π³π³π³
What will happen to Akash and whether the Akash track will be just conveniently forgotten is the question! At least to clear Uday's name they have t at least show that Akash has indeed died but not from Uday's hand. If they make Brijraj the killer, we then have to see how the story progresses ...
