How many times has Gauri tried to explain the situation to him? Wasn't Om always the one to say that every person should have the right to put forward his/her side of the story? Wasn't he always the fair one? Is he in so much pain that his morals have completely gone for a toss? Has he changed SO MUCH that he can just switch off his humanity? The way he treats Gauri is horrifying. Today was just ridiculous. Gauri was damn right. Blaming her for every little thing that even he knows she has no control over is beyond unfair. It's as if Omkara's conscience has disappeared completely. He poured water on her head and then threw her out of the room. He refuses to listen to or believe a single word she utters. He's labelled her as a cheat and liar in his head and come what may, he will not budge from it. And it's not even gnawing at him from that he might be wrong. He is okay with doing whatever he's doing and that both scares and pains me. Omkara's indifference has become physically painful to watch now.
I loved how Gauri straight up pointed out to him that she's been doing exactly what's being asked of her. He life has changed too, but she never questioned him about it. What she believes is her gratefulness and devotion towards Om, he percieves it to be greed and a big plan to run away with his money. Agreed that he cannot be compared to Tej, since Omkara never had a love marriage and nor did he cheat on his wife and family. But isn't he being as brutal and cold as his own father? Isn't he spewing the same kind of venom that he accused his father of?
Jhanvi needs to see what her son has become. She needs to open her eyes and realise that by choosing to remain blissfully ignorant about Gauri's plight at the hands of her son, she is sentencing the poor woman to a fate similar to her own, if not worse. Omkara and Jhanvi both need this. For the sake of their own souls.
I hope I made sense. I was too upset after today's episode. Please do let me know what you guys think.. no hate comments, please.
Love,
