This post is not related to the episode today. But just a thought that I have been having since a long time and considered penning out.
Sakshi Goenka is a strong, conniving woman who thrives in her power to make the world fall at her feet by the mere snap of her fingers. She's everything a woman wants to be, and doesn't want to be. She's smart, intelligent, beautiful and has managed to make a name for herself among the male driven society. But she's also manipulative, selfish and extremely power hungry, to the point that she doesn't care who or what she has to crush in order to keep climbing that ladder to success. She's got everything she could have possibly hoped for. Money, Fame, Power, Family. But she failed to see that the biggest power is in being a family.
Shaurya and Rajnath Goenka are the two most important men in her life. And possibly the only two people she loves and cares about, apart from her best friend Raima. But do they reciprocate the same feelings? I guess at this point it's safe to say that she's living in denial if she thinks so. Shaurya, the son she crossed every limit, moral and ethical, in order to protect and save from anything and everything he managed to screw up in his life. The son she stood by even when he destroyed a girl's life beyond repair, knowing full well the implications of his crimes and how he feels no shred of responsibility or remorse for it. Why? Because she wants to be a loving and doting Mother. But does that matter to Shaurya? Obviously not. He uses his Mother's love for him, manipulates her feelings and emotionally blackmails her in order to get her to help him get out every new mess he creates. And Sakshi, thinking it's her duty as a Mother to do so, doesn't think twice before doing exactly that. But what does she get in return? More empty promises, more lies, more decieving.
Rajnath, her husband, her partner in crime, is walking the similar path. He showers Sakhshi with love and compliments only when need be. Because the rest of the time, that love and compliments are being showered upon his wife's best and only friend, Raima. Sakshi understands her husband's need of accomplishing the best in all things business related and supports him for the same in any way she can. She can transform from being a business partner to a trophy wife in the blink of an eye or as per a certain situation demands. What more could a husband possibly want? Except, Sakshi is as, if not, more power driven than Rajnath. She just remains calmer, cooler and more calculated on the surface, repressing her real emotions in the far walls of her heart. She knows her husband is impulsive, which somehow causes her to believe that she has to be the one to make the final decision. But men like Rajnath have egos bigger than their brains. They won't let a woman, be it their wives or somebody else, have the last word. They feel emasculated if something like that happens. Which makes me think that maybe this was the reason why he found solace in another woman's arms. It doesn't make for an excuse, but since everything happens for a reason, his infidelity might have had one too. And that being feeling so emasculated by his own wife that he no longer knows who wears the pants in the family. In the many years of their marriage, Sakshi has somehow managed to dominate the relationship and has the upper hand. Being with Raima gives Rajnath that semblance of control back that he has lost with his wife along the line. A wife who is completely oblivious to her trust being shattered to pieces at the hands of her husband and best friend.
Raima is Sakshi's best and only friend. She is her confidante and she trusts her with her deepest and darkest secrets. And according to Raima herself, they are like sisters who share everything. What Sakshi is unaware of is that it includes her husband too. Sakshi brags about having a strong sixth sense, of having the ability to judge people with just a glance, and yet she failed to see that her best friend has been canoodling around with her husband right under her nose all these years. What good is a sixth sense if it doesn't work when it comes to figuring out the people closest to you?
Sakshi Goenka is the perfect example of having everything yet nothing. She has money and power, but what she also needs is a loving family and friends. Instead, what she got from them is betrayal. And she is completely unaware of it. The 3 most important people in her life are stabbing her in the back. Planning and plotting against her to save their secrets from coming out. What good is a life like that? A life where all the money and power in the world can't get you what you want most. Love. Sakshi is just a shell of a woman. She has nobody she can call her own. Nobody she can count on at the time of need, because sooner or later, these people that she cares about so much will abandon her. And then what will she have left? Nothing can destroy her more than these 3 people of whom she's a Mother, Wife and Friend to. Not even Durga. It's only a matter of time before either one of these relationship teeters and falls, wiping along with them the woman Sakshi Goenka once used to be.
