That was so beautifully written.👏

I'm not sure how important the sindoor is in a wedding ceremony. If all the other rituals were completed in front of the fire, pundit and the society, surely they are married in the eyes of God and man. There was no mangalsutra either. So, even if he hadn't applied the sindoor, the marriage rituals are completed, aren't they?

I feel Rana has no clue that he hadn't filed Gayatri's maang. But what was positive was that some of the sindoor fell on her nose. I believe that's a very positive sign and signifies marital bliss.
So, there's hope yet.

I don't know if I'd call Ranaji's character weak merely on the basis of his constantly mourning his wife. I would call it inconsistent, instead. When he was first introduced..in at least three to four episodes, he came across as a brave but very reserved man, a little lost in his thoughts but still very much aware of what is happening around him.

The dead wife angle appeared all of sudden...the small glimpses of past happiness were fine and so was his subsequent sorrow. But, soon after that, that was all he was involved in to the exclusion of almost anything else...that's where I found his character inconsistent.

I think the harshness he showed toward Gayatri was a momentary aberration and will not happen again.

After the marriage, I don't expect much change in him unless the cvs decide enough is enough. Gayatri will obviously find out soon enough that he's not in love with and her dreams will be shattered. In fact, I look forward to that Gayatri who no longer lives in wonderland and has to face harsh realities. How she conducts herself and lives her life, the choices she makes henceforth will be great to watch.
I'm not a Zee TV viewer but I doubt if the portrayal of wives and women in general differ from other channels. But, I'm hoping that Gayatri's portrayal will not suffer the same fate as most bahus on Indian TV.

As an aside, I had a good laugh at chachaji fear that a waris will appear soon to end all his hopes of being a king! If he only knew the truth!

@sam that maang unfilled was a surprise for me too. CVs executed it beautifully I would say. I mean maang filling is a public ceremony and Ranaji not doing it, in front of everyone was unimaginable. But the veil ensured the public saw only what needs to be seen. I had earlier also said naa veil or mask Gayatri will have to carry to show herself a queen in every sense.

@pippa saat phere is more important, that is where both husband and wife make promise or saat vachan on the life together. Mangasutra is the symbol of trust a husband places on wife. The sloka that accompanies the mangalsutra ceremony tells " Oh beautiful woman with auspicious attributes, this sacred thread is important for my life, I am tying this around your neck, May you live hundred years happily with me". That sloka signifies the trust of the man that as long as she is there he will be protected or she is his protection. Since it is only a symbolism some communities have it, some don't. I believe it is an evolved custom as we don't see that custom in many old royal hindu marriages.

Coming to Sindoor it is said that it is the symbol of husband's love. A woman with her maang filled gives out a message that she is deeply loved by someone and other men should not look at her inappropriately. It was kind of an indirect message to ward of many roving eyes I would say😃

In other words sindoor and mangalsutra are the public symbols of a husband's trust and love towards his better half. And in a relation which does not have these 2 things, the symbols don't carry any value.

Coming to Ranaji I would say people are playing more on his weakness. By reminding him again and again about Sulakshna they are making him guilty of marrying Gayatri. He is unable to handle this and it is at that time he appears rude and irrational.

beautifully expressed...

I think in most North Indian marriages mangalsutra is not part of marriage rituals, but sindoor is an integral...

Beautifully written.

RaGa both know Gayatri has not been given the rights of a married woman and Gayatri wanted to question it, as it brought up questions in her heart but she was satisfied with the portrait, a portrait full of lies. The truth is going to haunt her heart for a long time when its revealed as she will live with the truth of knowing she is not a complete dulhan but rather the mere pawn in a game of politics.

I still believe Rana was not just a mere pawn, he knew the entire truth going into this alliance, he had options to abdicate but elected not too, so in essence he had selfish motives but poor Gayatri, she went in completely blind. Her heartbreak is going to prick us like a thorn thats for sure.

RaGa have a long path to walk and whether or not they do it on their own or whether they will continue to be puppets, are for us to see as the viewers.

@innocent Rana was also a pawn. He never saw the letter written by Gayatri. That's the twist from his side( I have not seen some epi, correct me if I am wrong). Those pure feelings from the girl's heart is not seen by him. RM presents Gayatri as a barter system for the kingdom. As far as Ranaji goes because of the previous incidents and the fact that she hid the truth who she actually is, he feels Sethji and Gayatri wants the power of the kingdom and they are using their wealth to get it.

RM behaved like a Rajmata. If she had behaved like a mother instead of the deal she would have shown him the letter and how much Gayatri loves him. And if he marries a woman who loves him so much Ameerkot also can be saved. Only deal was spoken to him, not her love.

And believe me the character Ranaji is he would have definitely moved by the girl's feelings and would prefer to give a chance to his life as well as that of kingdom with her. Power doesn't reach Ranaji, relation reaches. That's why he says you might forget I am your son, but I cant forget you are my mother when RM tries to cut her wrist.

RM has a status to keep so her playing political games are her part of life. Rana was also aware that by agreeing to this wedding he is getting rid of debts that could conclude the closure of the Palace etc. RanaJi is fully aware of what has transpired. He knew this was a wedding out of compromise, and he knew Gayatri was not aware of the deal because RM said it was a deal b/w her and Govind Seth which was the truth. I agree Gayatri lying to him initially about her identity worked against her as he thought she was planning to trap him when the truth was revealed but his doubts were put to rest when RM told him the reason why she agreed for this shaadi. He also knew the nose jewelry was given to Gayatri by the Raj pariwar and yet he deduced that as her wanting to overtake his first wife's place. Things like that tell me, he is purporting to be a victim when in essence the true victim is Gayatri. He could have met her and told her the truth, I mean he tried and was interrupted with the murder attempt, but then he didnt try again.

Rana would have deduced it as a calculation to marry him if he knew Gayatri loved him. Banda's brains are not functioning these days. He would never have thought of it as a good thing as he never wanted to marry again after the tragic death of his first Queen. But he fails to realise an heir is required to ensure the safety of their Kingdom. EDIT: He would not have been moved but rather pissed as he never wanted to get rid of his first wife's memories, he is obsessed with her and does not want to let go. (Maybe am wrong, but his character thus far has made me perceived this only as far as he is concerned).

There is no love to speak of. Gayatri is naive and believes her lusting on him was love. I hope when he reveals the truth to her, her delusions break. Love is yet to be developed in this show and I hope this journey of discovery is conducted by them both.

nice post Ranaji didn't felled her mang but it was fell with ranaji's blood so the marriage is completed in a way

besides even if Ranaji would hv felled her maang the marriage isn't completed bcoz the marriage is forced on ranaji he hasn't accept it frm his heart in both case Rani Gayatri devi has to win Ranaji's heart & paraja 's heart too to become the real Rani Gayatri devi

now the journey has only started RaGa has a long way to go & Gayatri has to go step by step to win Ranaji's heart
