Symbolism of the fruit scene

This show has a lot of symbolic scenes which depict what is in store for us. I had earlier mentioned about the water scene when responding to someone's post. Another important scene was that of the fruit plucking scene from yesterday's episode.

Tara was hungry and looking out for something to eat when her eyes fall on the fruits on a guava tree. She tries to reach them but could not. She then mutters to herself that if she could not bear the hunger how much more hungry would MJ and Radha be since they have lost a lot of blood. She needs to get the fruits for them at any cost. She then picks up a stone and throws it on the fruit but it misses its mark. She feels frustrated and is about to turn away when she sees a low hanging fruit. She gets excited and reaches for it when she realises that MJ had tugged the branch down so that she can reach the fruit. She hesitates to take the fruit but MJ plucks it and hands it over to her. He then shakes up the tree so that the fruits fall in her outstretched dupatta. One of them falls on her head and he apologises for hurting her but soon another falls on his head too prompting her to giggle at his sheepish look. She offers a fruit to him but he shakes his head indicating that he wants her to eat instead. She shrugs and eats the fruit happily.


My interpretation of this beautiful scene is this. The fruits depict the elusive love which Tara is desperately wanting from MJ. Initially she wanted it for herself but then realises that MJ and Radha need it more considering the amount of time they have lost with each other (her reference to their loss of blood). She tries to get that love for them but fails but soon she finds that the fruits which were hanging so high suddenly seem much closer to her. Looking again she realises that it is MJ who had brought them close, meaning MJ is offering her that love which seemed unreachable to her. He wants her to take his love for herself. She hesitates to accept it and he then plucks it and gives it to her, indicating total surrender to her. He then showers so much love on her that she gets hurt by it (although unintentionally). The pain is sweet though because she knows he did it out of love and he even apologises for it. The force of his love hits him too, much to Tara's amusement. She then offers his love to him but he wants her to have it and she happily cherishes it.

Wow!! Beautiful interpretation of the scene thanks for sharing! Xx

Loved the symbolism the whole while i wondering what it can..there was something..Voila...
Its so WONDERFULLY DESCRIBED that Scene..the depiction of well analyzed...
It is indeed that shower of fruits were like shower of love in future !! which even might hurt Tara & maybe Mjay too but it will be fruitful to more giving depth of love !!

What a lovely interpretation of the scene.👏

Forgot to add. When Radha tries to eat the fruit and fails, Tara asks MJ to feed her but he didn't seem interested to do so. Seems to indicate that even if Tara is willing to sacrifice her love and asks MJ to give his love to Radha, he may not be willing to do so.

K... now after reading your symbolism only one thing I can do is smile like a fool..

wow what interpretation dear

MJ will never give his ek boond ishq to Radha

He will give tins and tons of ishq to Tara only

he will make Tara understand his feelings for her, his love for her

Very good and brilliant analysis of the sweet and emotional scene. ..Viraf and chavvi did justice to the unique scene. ...loved it very much...

This is gold! Thank you for confirming my thoughts about this fruit picking scene! Very well written :)
