@Jyoti: Lovely take today ...👏👏👏👏👏👏 ... and I knew very well that both of us will love that scene where Uday talks to his mother's photo!😛
Overall it was a fairly good episode. On the press conference, as you have said, this Uday does actually save Manyata from embarassment by pretending to have a nonchalant attitude towards his shaadi, and thus diverts the press from asking manyata awkward questions. But, being the stupid dunderhead that she is, I doubt she understood the love lurking behind the anger in Uday's words and actions.
Regarding Akash and Jagat, I now feel sure that this Akash is going to play reverse Cupid. He has been brainwashing this Jagat to join himself and his Dad in taking panga on the rajwades. Now if Akash does something horrible to Uday, like trying to take his life, that will give plenty of opportunity to manyata to do something heroic and save Uday and confess her love. I have a feeling that although this Akash will plan some diabolical scheme against Uday, at the last minute this Jagat (who has a less black conscience) will spill the beans to Manyata and so she may be able to save Uday from the evil plans of Akash.
Now I will come to my most favourite scene - of Uday talking to his mother's photo. All these days we knew that the mother was dead when Uday and Unnati were still young and so they were brought up according to the rules and values of their father. But we also know that his mother's softness and values of appreciating "love" are still alive in Uday (and Unnati, for that matter). Today this scene was special to me because of these reasons:
1. Even in the midst of all this show that Uday is giving to the press and Manyata as if he does not care that his shaadi was broken, the very fact that he was remembering his mother shows that his love for Manyata, his softer feelings, are still troubling him. He is saying to his mother's photo that he will follow his father hereafter, but I feel sure that somehow his mother's atma will not let him lose his faith in love. Definitely Unnati who has seen her brother's self-torture and his talks with his mother's photo will not let Uday become too hard-hearted. Uday may speak harsh words about his mind being stronger and about locking up his heart, but his mother and her memories will not let him do that.
2. It was a beautiful piece of acting today by Ashish and in that self-talk scene with his mother's photo, there were so many shades of subtle emotions he portrayed beautifully. His seething inner anger, his resentment that he did not have his mother nearby to guide him, his shapath to now follow his father's logic, and yet the sadness in his heart seeing what Manyata had done to his love ...
3. It was particularly poignant today that after 100+ episodes we finally saw the image of Uday's mother. There was a definite reason for her introduction at this late stage of the serial. It symbolically showed how the harsh realities of Uday's life were suddenly undergoing a fall-back to soft emotions. Even though he was uttering words of taking the vow to follow his father, the fact thiat it was his mother who made her "entry" today that gives the hint to the real direction of Uday's heart. In his deep sadness and anger, the love in his heart seems to be only growing, not diminishing!
I think it is now time for Manyata to do something big to help Uday in crisis, and she must lay down her own life on the line to help Uday. For this no doubt Akash will create the right evil plan.
