Yesterday's epi I would say belonged to Rajmatha Priyamvadha and Rajmatha Priyamvadha only. The way she handles Gopal Seth. The respect she gives to Gopal Seth irrespective of he coming in the wee hours of night. Once she manages to pacify him, her concern for Gayatri. She has no qualms waking up the entire Raj Parivaar to know the whereabouts of Rani. Once Swarna tells she is with Ranaji, the pace at which she goes to RNJ room.
Then I loved the face of between mother and son. The mother in her questioning her son as well as the king. He assaults her when she tells this is not the man she bought up telling he bought him up to strike the deal. She doesn't back out. She goes on telling the son who she gave birth had a heart, her upbringing taught him to respect woman, not to leave a woman unprotected in jungle.
And when RNJ accuses his wife she asks the same question Gayatri asked. Why is he trusting his enemies more than the Queen of Ameerkot. And swiftly tells ask who is playing the game.
And she moves fast with her next move as the fair queen in her take charge. The queen who doesn't want any innocent to be punished. The truth serum in chacaji's tea and its aftermath was hilarious to the core 🤣🤣. Oh my God Chachaji lusts after RM and the words he used for Kokila I was 🤣🤣🤣 and finally the truth comes out. Gayatri went to save Ranaji, but she ended up in trouble.
And that last line which she gives looking at RNJ. Will you correct your mistake or you want Rajmatha to correct your mistake. I loved it loved it and once again hats of to Rajmatha Priyamvadha 👏👏👏👏
If on Monday I saw a wife slapping a husband for the unfair accusation, yesterday I saw a mother pointing out her son's mistake and standing by her DIL.
It's time we get something like this. Hindi serials never point out the mistake in a man. They love to gloss over the mistake. I don't want leading lady to point out the mistake, but there should be someone who should be pointing out the MLs mistake and yesterday RM as a mother did that.

Shruthi, RM let me down as a woman y'day.
She shouldn't have let a young girl out in the jungle alone in the night.That's irresponsible. Poor Daymanti, is so connected and could sense her daughter is in danger even when she was miles away & sent her husband to verify.RM had all the means to help RGD & she waited tlll dawn to prove RGD's innocence to her stone-hearted son.

Been saying this in other threads, will say it here too,just wish they had shown her sending some soldiers to rescue RGD, when RNJ refused to budge in the night. ofc,they could be shown unsuccessful & the hero could have still had his rescue drama.

I liked the few seconds Govind Seth had in the RajMahal.I felt for the Seths.The royals came across the lowlifes who take huge dowry & abuse their daughters-in-law & prevent parental intervention.

AR always excels and loved the mother-son honest talk.RNJ, looked like a brat again when he said, i left her in the jungle,outside ameerkot.

@simran you need to understand one thing about royal era. King had the ultimate power and everyone else is supposed to obey him. Hard one but that is the rule. RM can guide the king but he has to take action, else she should bring proof to prove his decision wrong.
If anyone else had left Gaytri out in the jungle RM could have taken action. But it is the king himself who had done it. According to those era no one has the right to supercede a king directly. If you look everytime RM armtwist him to take action. But he has to take action and she will bring forth things in such a way he takes action.
So it was as per the rules of the royal era and within those rules whatever she could do RM did rather than sitting idle , it's king's decision what I can do.
On a side note I can say RM would have gone through lot of such things which Gayatri is undergoing with practically no help as I remember one dialogue she said to BRM. I didn't cry because I knew there will be no one to wipe my tears. So RM would have come up to this state fighting lot of things on her own , which might have hardened her and she keeps her emotions tight. Atleast in Gayatri's case indirect , but she is getting support of RM.

^^ I just wish she wasn't so obedient and acted more as a human than as the Queen mother.
She did tell him the next day, do u want me to go & get her or will u go?Ofc,we can say she knew he would go.
It's not just fetching the queen from maika, RGD could very well been the dinner of a tiger or lion.
There are of things she does without his consent, for the welfare of the state, the rescue should ahve been one of them.
This is the woman who sold him w.o his knowledge, she should have the guts to get the queen he dumped.It's good for the Kingdom too.
What's the point of getting justice for RGD,by proving her innocence,when the victim was dying somewhere?

I get where RM is coming from.

I know. RNJ threw that at her face right. That she bought him up to strike a deal. Actually if not for Damayanti no one would have known about RGD also. It exposed another aspect of royal life. Though they all live in that palace no one actually cares for each other like you said, till the point where their hypocrisy might be exposed. They all live their individual life, cut out from each other. Emotional bonding is less.
And it is because RM called everyone out Kuwar chacha spoke about Wilkinson as he was groggy. So it is actually RGDs parents who still care for their daughter even after her marriage were indirectly responsible for coming to her rescue.
Also I have never put across RM as a completely white character. She is grey and her arm twisting is the most interesting part of ETR2.
The battle is not only between RNJ and Gayatri. But it is also between RM and Gopal Seth. RM actually took advantage of Gopal Seth's condition who is unable to marry of his daughter irrespective of having so much wealth. And in 1940 to have an unmarried girl did raise society's eye brows which prompted Gopal Seth to marry Gayatri to an old man irrespective of him not wanting to do it.
And when he knew Gayatri loves RNJ, he bought her that happiness with his wealth without thinking what will happen to his image. Whereas RM though she has a conscience is image conscious, she will do anything to keep the image. And that is the difference between them.
Now that marriage is done more than Gopal Seth's image, RM's image is at stake. And she is dealing not only with a rebellious son, but also a rebellious DIL who like her father doesn't care about image building.

It's finally a mother's instinct to sense danger for her off-spring that saved RGD.
I really appreciate the CVs for keeping Gayathri's parents in picture however loosely.

@simran did you notice another thing though Gopal Seth asked to meet Gayatri, RM manipulates him in such a way that he goes away. Ok in this case after sending Gopal Seth RM worked to see where Gayatri was and she had no ill intention of harming her DIL. She just send away Gopal Seth to guard the image of the royal palace.
But what about many married girls who are tortured in their sasural. Where when the parents come to enquire about the daughter they are manipulated like this and send back. And parents not insisting to see their married daughters condition. How many times " beti ke sasural mein zidd mat karo" has cost many young women their life itself, where husband and in laws brutally assaulted her.
So it is fine that girls parents should unnecessarily intervene. But is it right to blindly trust the in laws especially in cases where marriage has happened the way Gayatri's marriage has happened.

Nice take, Shruthi!
I concur with you on RM being the saving grace of yesterday's episode and in general, of the show!

However, I agree with Simran on the point of the lack of a sense of urgency in sending out a rescue party!

I accept that the King is the supreme authority and his mother can only advise. However, there have been instances even in history where advisers have taken it upon themselves to act on behalf of the king to avert potential disasters. In this case, RM has an additional advantage since she is his birth mother!

A more acceptable explanation to me is something that I found on another thread. The timeline of the events was such that it was practically morning by the time all the drama came to a close. It may well have been at the crack of dawn or close to that Seth ji came to the palace. RNJ himself had probably returned to the palace just a while before. So, by the time the RM-RNJ confrontation happened, it was probably morning!

However, there was a lack of palpable tension which bothered me! The tension that had a father running to knock the palace doors at unearthly hours. Even if they did not care for their daughter-in-law, this was the Queen!

said this in my first post. RM is a manipulator & am sure, if RGD were to die or go missing,she'll intelligently cover it up.
That's why i like the presence of Govind Seth,who said when it comes to daughter's love/life he doesn't bother about the protocols and visited her sasural in the middle of the night.
Even the King & Queen Mother are accountable to the girl's family.
I wish someday GS will give RNJ an earful in a man to man talk.Will be worth a watch.
