I'm pretty sure you're all looking at the title wondering if I've gone mad from the two glimpses of Viraf in that episode but no I'm still sane enough to have thought about why they showed us so much torture in these MEs. I felt like it was so pointless to show so much negativity for so long but then I thought about it deeply to find some logic. As always you don't have to agree but I'm sharing to perhaps widen your perspective :)
These past two episodes have made me realise that it was important for Tara to distance herself from this family and essentially sever her ties with them. From the very beginning, we've been shown that her biggest weakness is her family and her loved ones because she is willing to sacrifice anything to save them from any kind of hardship. Kala used this to make Tara to act out of character and reduce her to a helpless typical Indian heroine (something MJ would rather die a thousand times before seeing!).
However at the same time, Kala's great plan to alienate Tara from the world so she could break her may also be the reason for Kala's eventual downfall because a person who has nothing to lose is far more dangerous than someone who has something to lose. Currently Tara has no one to support her, to believe her and to help her substantially in getting justice for MJ and Dadaji - This makes Tara dangerous because now she'll be playing mind games knowing that she has nothing more to lose so why hold back and cower? Kala has his reputation, his image and pretty much everything on stake now so technically all this torture is going to come back to haunt Kala.
We witnessed a fearful and compromising Tara who was wiling to surrender to her enemy in order to save the lives of her loved ones. Tara's biggest fear was losing MJ which she has already lost (well we know he's still there :D) so there's nothing Rudini can do to break her spirit now. Plus the Shekhawat family was only holding Tara back and causing her to be bogged down with the responsibility of protecting them from Kala but now she has no family to look after and no husband to prove innocent. Kala thought she had the upper hand but in reality she enabled Tara to get stronger from all those hits!
It was very painful to watch but it was necessary in my opinion as now Tara can fully mobilise and play the game with Kala without any inhibitions. She of course has the support of MJ who is lurking around but her inner strength will do a lot of damage by itself. Hopefully on Monday we'll see Tara back as our loved Bhai of Bhopal so stay tuned to Ek Boond Ishq on LO at 8:30. PLEASE HIT THE CM AND COMMENT ON VICHA'S PROFILES :)))))
Much love,
