Ashwini and Shivani STOLE the Show

WHAT AN EPISODE! It was kind of annoying that they spent 22 minutes at the doorstep but gah, whatever.

As expected Mast Mast continued her tirade against Sai. But ASHWINI CHAVAN, take a bow. Honestly! Saturday's precap was so deceptive. I thought there's going to be fireworks and total melodrama and there were fireworks, but of a different kind. In the face of extreme rudeness, Ashwini was a sea of calm. Firm and determined but didn't once raise her voice. She went ahead and did as she pleased. She had faith in her son and that's all mattered to her. Unlike Mast Mast and the others, Ashwini never makes a big show about her love for Virat but when it truly mattered, she was the only one who stood by him. She tried to reason with Ninad but when he didn't care and was singing his Vahini's tunes, she decided to take matters in her own hands. This was AWESOME 👏

Ashwini, from what we've seen so far, is not a bechari abla nari but she's also not vocal enough. She survives in that toxic household. I hope today is the day when she decides to not just be a survivor but also a fighter.

As brilliant as Ashwini was, appreciating today's episode will be incomplete without appreciating Shivani. She's the one who encouraged Ashwini to support Sai and Virat, reminding her how she's been treated all these years. Shivani is just so much fun. She doesn't give a damn about anyone and I didn't expect her to be either pro or anti SaiRat but I am so happy that she has decided to choose the RIGHT team.

Ashwini ❤️

How much she suffered over these years 💔

Devyani also was the star of the show :).... i loved how she was referring Sai as "tu" in a friendly manner, while her mast mast maa was referring her as "tu" to demean her.

Ashwini, shivani.... and especially devyani were the rockstars of this episode. Ashwini is actually the best male lead mother role I have seen on itv, because I have seen in other shows too where the male lead's mother is belittled or at least not given the authority and respect she deserves, but unlike the others ashwini never takes it silently with her head bowed in shame. She retorts back with as much sass and strength she can.

Shivani impressed me with how she strongly not only protested hitler mast mast ki nautanki, but empowered ashwini to stand up for her son and daugher-in-law.

Devyani... omg I have no words for this girl Who said this girl is paagal... she's the most sane in this paagalkhana. This girl really knows what to say and when, and she has a good eye and sense of what goes on in the house more than anybody else. She was the biggest relief in this episode that was full of abusive tirades and insults from hitler mast mast. She spoke harsh truths, showed the mirror to some arrogant people and provided a bit of needed humour too. Can't wait to see more of these 3 awesome women standing by sai.

There was a lot of affection in the way devyani called sai tu. Whereas when hitler mast mast called sai tu, it's like she's spitting at sai.

And kudos to the fact that she has not broken or become completely subservient in all these years of abuse and still managed to muster the strength each time to hit back at her abusive husband and sister-in-law even if each time she speaks up she is subjected to more emotional abuse... Ashwini is a fighter, but now I can see with the entry of sai, she will become more emboldened to speak up now as she won't bear seeing her daughter-in-law enduring what she has, and sai to a certain extent will also encourage her. Bhavani should be ashamed for encouraging ninad to mistreat his wife this way. This bhavani is intolerable to me. In a way this woman despite being a widow, she and that devar of hers look more like they are having khullam khulla affair in the name of bhabhi-devar rishta and hukum-giri of bhavani. 🤢

It warms my heart when women support each other. Especially today, when the only thing they kmew about her was that she is Virat's wife.

I can only imagine that this bond will further strengthen when they know Sai.

As for Bhavani, she's in for a ride to hell. When Sai politely defended Usha mausi today, she called her badtameez and what not. Little does she know, that Sai ne abhi badtameezi shuru bhi nahi ki hain🤣

@Bold- I really hope we don't lose out sassy sai now that she is a married woman 🤢 I want her to be the same as before and stand up for herself, and that virat better not expect her to keep her mouth shut just because they are elders 🥱

Inspite of being abused by husband -bhabhi , she gathered the courage to spoke up for her bahu...

Bhavani - nindad 🤢Hypocrites

Respect has to be earned. Bhavani and her natak company has done nothing to deserve respect.
