Suprabhat Bhagininno! 🌄🌻🌻🌼🌼
After today's episode-- weather prediction:
It is currently bright and sunny with Love-in-the-air winds blowing from all sides but the evening is likely to witness a storm with thunder, lightening and scattered heavy downpour... this rain should taper off by mid- week; newly down farms may suffer unseasonal damage.
😅😒😟
Can't help but draw parallels between the idea of 'first love' , 'waiting', 'letting go' and 'moving on or not' between the story that is now unfolding and the main plot of the show.
So Pulkit has been waiting for Devyani, without any hope of getting her, for over 10 years -- their 8 year old daughter has been his hope for life. He could have remarried, lived his life just like he was falsely made to believe that Devyani was living too... But he chose to live with her memories without really seeking her until the opportunity came knocking and too hard to resist-- because it also came with the hope that all the things he has assumed so far are false and his inherent faith in their love is actually true.
So first question: Is waiting a sign of true love? And waiting patiently, without any hope or grudges. It's not exactly a wait to secure 'possession' on the person who one has lost but to be able to meet again if life offers the opportunity to do so... because deep within one is aware that the 'love' has been lost...
It is different from waiting for someone to make up their minds.
So Pulkit has actively waited for Devyani, making a choice that no one else will ever have the place that is hers -- when they get talking and become friends Chavan Saheb should make note on how to actually not allow "Dil mein, Zindagi mein Kisi ko Nahi aane doonga" 🥴😜 -- such promises can be kept only when the flame of passion has branded the heart so deep that there truly cannot be any other way but to fight for it, which wasn't the case in the 'true love' of the main plot.
The kind of "wait" that Virat had offered vahini as part of the promise was unhealthy -- it was a sign of not wanting to move on and not wanting to 'let go'... how can it be constructive when the rationale for the "wait" is to remain unhappy and burning in the fire of loneliness for the rest of the life. Because to have someone you love truly happy, you'd treat the root cause of the angst and not make the pit deeper for it to turn into a useless puddle of water.
Waiting of course doesn't apply to Delusional Didi... She couldn't even wait for a week to see if her true love would have found her after he failed to recognise her voice.
Second question: is letting go a sign of true love or is it holding on to love that is truly love?
How tricky is this situation. So Pulkit has evidently let go of Devyani assuming that she's made a choice and opted for something more amazing in her life... He's let go of Devyani assuming that she's happy and settled. It would be disappointing if it turns out that he was aware Devyani would be in a state of torture even if forcibly married to another man but he did not have the same confidence to find her back...
Letting go of 'true love' in the main plot is, however, a caricaturish representation. While Virat actually sacrificed what he thought was his 'love', it was not a sacrifice for the one he loved but for his brother. He actually did not care if his decision to let go would keep Patralekha happy. He was confident that his brother would be an ideal husband and give her the happiness she deserved because the decision to marry his brother was hers to begin with. Now, it doesn't actually classify as letting go of the love because Patralekha continued to beg with him to stand up for their relationship and was in a state of heart break when she realised that nothing dramatic will happen at the pheras -- may be she was expecting her 'dream' to come true but ended up in a state of shock because she had to finish the pheras with Samrat 😅 just realised, inka delusional state toh bohat Purana hai...
Does letting go apply to Vedi vahini? She hasn't of course been able to let go -- she's actually the only one who can let go in the true sense of the word in context of 'love'. Because she can see that Virat has found his happiness in Sai. It is actually Patralekha who can be the bigger person and "let go" but her love was never love to begin with. It was attraction that turned into obsession without passing the stage of forging a connection. The obsession with the idea that this man who she couldn't trust should have been driven crazy in her absence.
Is Sai actually "letting go" by constantly reminding Virat about Patralekha's presence and their 'love'. To a large extent -- but Sai's letting go has been more from the point of view of her gratitude and goodness than her 'love' for Virat because her reason to have "set him free" was the condition he himself placed before her. She wishes him well and she deeply believes that he's a man of his words on that front and so he does have feelings for PP. It will change soon but at the back of her mind, she will not forget that when it comes to Patralekha's presence between them, Sai will be the one who has to let go and walk away. Even in her state of 'love' for Virat, if she thinks Virat really can be happy only with Patralekha, Sai will walk away...
Can Virat let go of Sai? It will be difficult for him. He will resist it a lot to try to mend and repair and keep her... but if he's convinced that she would find happiness only without him, he certainly will.
The interaction between Sai and Pulkit dropped a few hints from the shady past of the Chavans -- and the Question that Sai asked is the one we've all been asking : "Itna sab Kuch ho Gaya toh Kisi ko Kuch kaise pata Nahi Chala?"
The presence of a baby in the picture and Devyani's state of mind -- it ought to have been sudden loss of mental balance otherwise she would have shared her story with someone -- at least with Ashwini -- before the family would stop believing her... Let's hope the story of the separation is intriguing and not with loose ends, especially how Harini was born, separated from Devyani and then found by Pulkit... It seems like Bhavani and her stooges kept Devyani hostage during the pregnancy away from the family and turned her into a mentally unstable person during that time or would it have been the extreme trauma of being separated from the newborn...
Question 3: Can one repent separating an innocent mother from a newborn child? Is there any penance that can make up for the sin one commits while forcing a child to grow without a mother?
Sai's arrogance even in the beginning with Pulkit was not needed -- she did not bother to find out about the truth and she wasn't interested even now until she heard Madhuri address him as 'Bhau'. What is surprising is that her assumption about Pulkit's possible marriage to Madhuri was so strong that it overpowered the logical side which should have verified the doubt before jumping to conclusions...
There is a parallel even in her own story and Harini -- both girls losing a parent at birth for various reasons. She was still not convinced about Harini calling Madhuri "Maa". It seemed like a flimsy question because it came from Sai, who's been fighting the chakrams to earn Usha maushi the respect of 'maa jaisi'... Does it matter if a child addresses any woman as "maa" even if she's not married to or related to the biological father? Sai was being guarded but the question came across as being in bad taste...
Of course, she only turned to see Harini eagerly and with a sudden feeling of 'connection' the moment she learned that it was indeed Devyani's daughter... Yet, Sai being the loving heart that she is, was not warm enough to the child...
At least she apologised to Pulkit and admitted that she'd acted impulsively out of her misunderstanding. Her apology to Madhuri and the question Madhuri asked was relevant -- "I didn't understand what did I do wrong to offend you so much when you visited us."
Sai's lack of basic civility with the woman was definitely an action not expected out of her -- when we are blindly in love with someone we often let the minor mistakes pass and we justify them in our minds. Yes, it was Sai's bad day and she was reacting as s wife and not as an investigator but she, unknowingly, left a question in Madhuri's mind that must have left the poor woman in a state of discomfort for so long. Would it have harmed her to be open and courteous?
So Mahadev has chosen Sai to become the sacrificial lamb for Pulkit and Devyani to unite... The way Sai brings Devyani out in the Precap, I hope she's not going all guns blazing all alone at the chakrams-- looks like Virat is not around. It would be foolish and irresponsible on her part to not involve Virat right from the start, especially if he's already answered her question whether he would do whatever it takes to have Devyani be better again...
Sai's need to conceal this vital information from Virat and confront the Chavans on her own cannot be justified, morally and even legally. At a time when the two of them have just begun to come closer in every way, and especially after Virat public acknowledgement of their marriage and his decision to leave the house if she has to leave, not letting her go, Sai should be mindful of things that can damage the beauty of what they are beginning to share and build between them.
Why shouldn't Virat mind Sai's interference in the life of his Tai, who is mentally unfit? All good intentions known, what gives Sai the right to take a single-handed decision to execute her plans with PD sir, without even taking her biggest supporter in the loop and making him feel 'unwanted'. Why does the thought of Virat's feelings not cross her mind? Or is she too confident that Virat will be okay with everything she does? Would Sai have allowed Virat to take any decisions for Aaba without informing her?
Can one sacrifice their own relationship for the 'good' of another person without considering the harm it will cause their own partner? Would it not amount to subjecting Virat (and herself) to the same pain that Devyani has suffered, even if the reasons are different?
Devyani will finally meet Pulkit tomorrow -- after eight years at least. How tearful will Devyani's reaction be on seeing Pulkit? Or will she go hysterical to protect him from harm? The story is finally at the doorstep...
Bhavani's twitching eye has left her anxious with her stooges assuring her that their secret would remain guarded but a secret at home is like placing rocks under a boat in water; it will hit the rocks and capsize. But as the saying goes, "We dance round in a ring and suppose, but the secret sits in the middle and knows." Bhavani, of course, will find consolation in the fact that this will be the moment she has been waiting for to win back control on Virat and turn him against Sai... It will hurt Bhavani's false sense of pride beyond doubt that Sai will be the one to reveal her secret to those who don't know -- since Ninad and Omkar are equally perpetrators, it is essentially only Virat and Samrat (may be Mohit), who should basically not find out about the dark past. Does anyone else's opinion matter to Bhavani? So Sai's rebellious act would actual make Bhavani happy in the end because clearly sacrificing Devyani would not matter as much to her if it can bring Sai to her knees and separate her from Virat -- Kisi bhi keemat par. But it is clear that she has no motherly affection for her own daughter. This track will of course also reveal Bhavani's motivations for her nature.
------------
Did the scene with Mohit dressing up as a sage and setting up the drama in the hall have any context or was it only to make Badi Vahini's mother depart before the onset of the taunts?🙄 Most probably added to increase the screen time of the episode to reserve the cliff hanger moment for Monday..or was it added to give a glimpse into Vedi vahini's intelligence that she had almost spotted Mohit right in the beginning -- hamari Didi sabse sayani and suljhi hui unlike Mohit's fake beard 😅 otherwise Vahini's one-dimensional expression would have been missed from the screen today.
But yes, small appreciation for Vaishali aunty -- One, for asking Mohit to invite her to watch his play and Two, for arriving and departing before her imaginary son-in-law and his wife could return. 😐
****
Coming to the question of first love... How long does it take for people to actually find the 'first love' that would make them realise that everything else that came before was not close to being 'love' and anything that would come thereafter would not be the same either? Do people truly identify their 'first love'?
And, when they do and lose it, then can it be forgotten?
Is first love the first feeling of attraction for someone never experienced before or is first love that for which you recklessly fall and can fight the world?
Million dollar Q: Who is Virat's first love- Patralekha or Sai? 😅
