Today's episode was totally unexpected but I totally loved it. I know a lot might be upset with Raghav's behaviour but I welcomed it. I shall further indulge as to why below.
Deep into darkness gazing, long she stood wondering, fearing, doubting the man she saw before her. Was this the same man who was professing love and admiration for her not to long ago? Was he the same man whose mere presence brought a sense of warmness inside every fibre of her being? Was this the same man stood in front of her?
Raghav knows his anger has always been his worst enemy. He has grown up being a loner ever since he lost his father. He finds comfort in having rules and regulations and living by his own terms because then he can have control over situations, ensuring nothing ever leaves him. He has become extremely obsessed with his house as we have witnessed on various occasions. And often we think what a weirdo. But what do we not understand is that, this is his coping mechanism. His house is a place where he finds great comfort. He does not deny the fact that living a lonely life is upsetting but he would rather have that pain in his heart than have someone come in his life and disrupt everything, only to have that person leave him again. When he fell in love he broke his own rules and regulations; he swerved his entire life's purpose to a whole different direction. He used anger as a tool to keep Kalpana away from him when he started to feel for her , because love was an emotion he could not have control over. HOWEVER, he has also grown to demonstrate great patience once he acknowledged his feelings. Patience was a word unheard of in his vocabulary, because the way he has ensured he lived his life was to go after what he wants, ensure an affirmative response is acquired, and settle it right there and move on. He does not believe in unfinished business, which explains why he was so adamant in acquiring a response from Kalpana.
I have to say Kalpana impressed me tonight. She has learnt from a young age to turn her wounds into wisdom . She was taken aback by his reaction, and when he wanted to comfort her, she stopped him. (That was a beautiful scene). The grace and elegance which Kalpana used today to put her stance forward, reminding him that she did not want to come to his house in the first place was beautifully done. Her insecurities have always prevented her from opening up her heart, but slowly she had begun to enjoy the beauty of the world again, she was glowing, she felt she had wings and was ready to fly, and booom! Reality strikes her yet again. Today she was painfully reminded of the different in status by the one person she felt had begun to understand her. Raghav did not mean to hurt her, his anger has always got the better of him, and yet he did. That one tear drop on his hand, broke his heart. He wanted to see her happy and yet he brought tears to her eyes and that frustrated him so much that he ended up breaking all those Belgian set: which for me demonstrated that it was not the glasses in the first place that annoyed him-, him kicking them only served to add weight to my previous comment, but the power not to be able to control what was happening his house caused him to erupt like a volcano.
I loved that scene. Raghav was being forced to do things he did not want to do from the beginning, but he was biting his lips and enduring it all doing despite being frustrated on various occasions. And today it got too much for him. He ended up venting out his frustration on the one person he loves and Sammy ended up bearing the brunt of his anger. Sammy gave him a well-deserved reality check today. When he questioned him about whether Kalpana was *someone- or I should say something* he wanted to gain because he formed a like towards her, I believe that really turned the spanner in his belly. He was furious, but he needs to understand that things cannot always go his way. The day he chose to open his heart, was the day he made the promise of compromising aswell but he has failed to understand that point in greater depth.
Raghav has no pleasure in the stimulants ie anger he madly indulges upon, he acquires no pleasure in hurting her, in fact it breaks him just as much. He is yet to understand the responsibilities that come with love, because he has never truly experienced love. He never had a guide in the form of an elder, (destiny has always been cruel to him, but now his mother, his own flesh and blood, is going to guide him towards the right path, and I, am a viewer, am eagerly looking forward to this scene.) Raghav is yet to understand that that tragedy should be utilised as a source of strength, and how no matter how painful past experiences might have been, by losing hope we create a difficult path for ourselves. Our faith and beliefs are what keeps us going and until and unless he comprehends that, he will never be able to truly open his heart to Kalpana.
Today we witnessed a massive progression in RagNa's relationship. It had so many hints of the future hidden in there. Gauri is going to be the strength of RagNa when their relationship is out in the open. Raghav is not going to become submissive in Kalpana's love, if and when she asks him to sacrifice for Kamla. And Kamla is going to feel insecure of Gauri and Kalpi's bond as Gauri is going to fill Kalpi's life with the motherly love she had always craved. And this will be when we shall witness Kamla going through the same turmoil Kalpana was going through when she kept picking Pakhi over her.
