Honestly the past week had been very meh for me with the whole Daal drag that I even thought I will just take a break from the show cuz I was zoning out. *I KNOW* 😲
But MAN was I wrong! This week's episodes so far have been mindblowing. Though I hope the Daal fest is over now😆 Just caught up with both the episodes today because I couldn't stay away from my EDKV. Just cant😳
I loved loved loved the bookstore scene yesterday! So many memories attached. So many emotions. Shravan finally felt genuinely jealous about Jeevan and Sumo when he said "Kuch zyada hi attachment nahi hogaya tumhe?" 😉
But more than this I loved Nirmala sneaking from behind books to just get a glimpse of her son. It was so so heartbreaking! Truly what a mother's heart would feel. Yearning to see her child after so many years. That this one moment, this one glimpse would be enough to fulfill her for the rest of her life. The way she almost broke down and cried, it was so realistic. For the first time in a show, the mother who left, isn't actually at fault. For the first time, it isn't the mother who is wrong. I love this take in the story. It establishes the mother son bond so beautifully.
I also love how we finally got to see Nirmala's side of the story today. Till now we only saw one side of it, but seeing the other side changes everything. Just like how it will for Shravan soon. She was never wrong! I for one believe that a woman has every right to be independent, every right to work, every right to feed her family or provide for them the way she wants. If Ramnath couldn't settle himself well enough, how the hell is that his wife's fault?! The fact that rather than appreciating, he blames her just because he can't see his wife be the man of the house. Well its your fault in the first place. Maybe if you were man enough to take care of your family, she wouldn't have to. But even then if she wants to be independent she has every right to.
I knew from the start that Ramnath was a fishy character. He had a dark side to him and today that was revealed. How sick of him to slap his wife? Moreover, instill such a disgusting image of his wife in Shravan's head? That too at such a young age?! Like how the hell can a father scar his own son like that? Just how?! Clearly his ego was bigger than his love for his family. All of it seems fake now. All his affections and feelings look superficial. Now that I think of it, I am glad they didn't drag the Ramnath track. This man just doesn't deserve the love that Shravan has for him. Not till he rectifies his mistakes, if he even can. And when Shravan finds out about this, oh man he will lose his shit. He will never forgive Ramnath for separating his mother from him like that.
All of Shravan's viewpoints, all of his opinions, Ramnath is to blame for. And I think that's what Ramnath wanted all along. He wanted his son to go to Oxford, he wanted him to get a degree, become a successful lawyer, all to prove to Nirmala that he could raise Shravan better than her, or more so, to prove the idea that a man can be more successful than a woman. He did it all to fulfill his own ego. He may have done it out of the love for his son too. But I don't see that as the main reason behind it. More than the situations, I think Ramnath is the biggest culprit in shaping Shravan to be the way he is, trying to make him a complete replica of his father. But that will change. Once he learns the truth. Shravan will regret every ounce of hate he felt for his mother.
Again, I see Shraman in this too. The way Shravan misunderstood his mother and stayed away from her for all these years, questioning why she never contacted him. The same way Shravan stayed away from Sumo all these years, questioning why she never contacted him either. In fact he already asked her during the reunion party "Did you ever try contacting me? Ever try saying hello even?" It explains why over the years, only his hatred grew for both Sumo and Nirmala, meanwhile on the other side, only love and yearning grew. I can't wait till mother and son unite. It will be the most beautiful reunion ever. So many feelings attached, so much depth, so many questions, and so many regrets.
I actually feel bad for Shravan. He got trapped in between all this without any fault of his own. All his dilemmas, all his frustrations make sense now. He is not justified for looking at women the way he does, but I don't blame him after all the constant poisoning Ramnath did to him over all those years. I can't wait till he finds out about this. He will never forgive him for it. But most importantly, I wonder if he will ever be able to forgive himself?
