Komal & Maanyata : Of Love & Passion.
Till date , I felt or rather we were given the impression that Komal was trapped in a loveless marriage – that BR and she were a fruitful political alliance who bore two beautiful brainless arrogant daughters. But the last three minutes changed my view of Komal's feelings for BR. She loves her husband – she really does. Even though he has been a black sheep, an errant man with his share of bad habits ( wine and women ) – still, Komal, a woman of immense heart ( its still commendable how she embraced UV back into her motherly arms after having lost complete faith in him ) – she fell in love with her husband . How else do you think she saw the angst and self-destruction in BR beyond his alcohol and his harsh words? How else could she feel the insult that BR felt at the hands of Giri and Philip? Why else would you cry over the fear that you are losing someone precious to darkness? While everyone around BR is busy judging him or using him, Komal , even though she reprimands him, confronts him for his frisky ways – she sits with her daughter and cries rivers over how Brijraj is consuming himself. You would do all this , you would feel all this , only if you loved someone.
Yes, there is no quality in Brijraj that would make anyone love him. But he was the first and last man in the life of an innocent reserved Princess and she turned him into everything that she would, love , respect , worship and idolize. And no, its not being a conditioned doormat. If she was one , she would never take out Band, Baaja, Baraat of him like she has done before and like she did today. She loves him and its BR's ill-luck that he never honoured that love enough . A very deserving woman to an undeserving undeserving man.
On the other hand is, Maanyata. I think Unnzie's one line sums up ManVeer in one go – " Ye aapka kaisa pyaar hai , Dada? Pyaar bhi hai aur dushmani bhi?" That is how it is , actually. UV has gone back to being what he was – a cold evil calculating victor because he is safe there. Maanyata 's jungle hatred seemed to get tired of hating UV today. That vintage physical and emotional tension between them returned today. When UV tossed , twirled and turned Maanyata around during the dance – he was your vintage UV. There was no anger , no angst , no hatred – not a single negative emotion on his face and whatever is going on inside him , did not show. He was a royally shameless smug stud who knew his Plan A ,Plan B and Plan C better than how Maanyata will ever learn to spell these words. He made it clear to her that it doesn't matter what she thinks or where they are today – the future is open – one fine day , your heart might change and you may fall in love with me. THIS. THIS is what gets to Maanyata – his intense passionate nature that threatens to burn her . She had no answer to that you should look the way her turbulent eyes were fixed on UV's face after that statement. There was a passionate fear and emotional shock to her face after that. This is the only thing that Maanyata has always failed to counter – his passion and his profound claim that she is his. Hating him, screaming at him , accusing him is easy but standing still when he lays claims on her completely GOOGLES her.
The only worry is that Maanyata might be too late in getting sync with the truth and her feelings for UV. One day , the wait may get so long for him that even if she comes to him, he may not be waiting any more. He has re-conditioned his heart already and has worn his ego suit again – its sad how he refused to admit to Unnzie that he still loves her and angrily labeled Maanyata as a trophy that was his. And to think, he is the same man who was grinning and blushing boyishly to Unnzie a few weeks ago that he loves Maanyata. Sigh. As they say. Hearts don't just break – THEY GET EVEN.
Maanyata is once again getting all consumed and exhumed by UV. The first thing that she wants to speak to her Mom is about UV and his syaapa –to the Mom who is currently reveling in the relief that UV saved their family's proud nose. She still doesn't understand the legal implications and seriousness of hers and UV's alliance. Not even after Brijraj has screamed his lungs out , trying to explain the situation to her. Disprin please!
P.S- Komal loves husband who doesn't deserve her. UV loves a woman who will take a lifetime to be deserving enough of him. Brijraj and Maanyta – same bloodlines. Komal and UV – same longing- same lonely lives. Destiny parallels and how.
Love and luck always,❤️
GOD bless everyone. 🤗
