Dishonest to the core

I thought this track was brilliantly done till today. Today was the most dishonest episode of Ghum ever. This episode was way better in KD. Way better. There Rono clearly said he didn't want to embarrass Rupkotha by discussing what she told him in the Cafe. Rono said openly that people change, times change and I've changed too.

Here Virat says I've learnt the power of truth from Sai and then goes on to..well..not lie..but omit the truth in the most dishonest way. He's no Lakshman to Samrat's Ram (Samrat is no Ram and Pakhi is certainly no Sita 😋). There was zero mention of what was said in the Cafe. He just declared that he and Pakhi are just friends. I mean he forced Pakhi's hand by saying this, yes. But yet again Sai is made to look like the suspicious shrew and Pakhi is just...confused and sad. Just so dishonest from Virat. Maybe he and Pakhi are 'just friends' in his head but not to her. Why that omission from a guy who says I made a mistake not telling you the truth last time. So he tells half truths this time? 🤦‍♀️

Also his patronizing Shivani bua was infuriating. I wanted to bonk him on the head when he spoke to her the way about her divorces. So being divorced and open-minded means she should condone him holding hands with his ex in a Cafe is it? What's that got to do with anything? Basically Sai is a suspicious shrew and don't believe what she says is the implication from a guy who acknowledged Sai's unwavering commitment to the truth. I can't even. 😔

Today Virat made jalebis, fried them, refried them, froze them, reheated them and served them up on a platter to the family. And they swallowed it like champions.

What a disappointment. I could have stomached him not revealing exactly what Pakhi said, but to eliminate all discussion of the conversation is just dishonest. Not to the characters (they don't make sense anyway) but to the watching audience. I feel cheated today. It was a total letdown.

I need to empathize with the protagonist and today I lost all empathy for Virat. I can empathize with Pakhi (she's honest if delusional). I can empathize with Sai who's walking on hot coals through this track. I can empathize with Samrat who feels cheated. But I can't empathize with a pathological omitter of the truth.

This hero has feet of clay. The outcome could have stayed the same but the conversation could have had a little more honesty. Very disappointed today.

Seriously I can't take it that Sai is going to say I love you to this guy and later sleep with him🤢

I seriously understand where Virat comes from..

He still somehow feels that what happened to Pakhi was his mistake..he wants her to have a shot of normal life with Samrat. He wants Samrat to stay in CN. But why do such nautakanki? Ram - Lakshman crap was too much.. Tomorrow if Didi herself reveals the details of their meeting to Sammy or tomorrow she makes Sammy’s life miserable will Virat take the responsibility?

He is making the same mistakes again and again.. he could have taken Samrat aside and told him the entire fact right from yoga days to cafe date.. and asked him to take a decision instead.. Doesn’t his brother deserve this much? Is Samrat not capable of deciding whether he wants to continue with Didi or not after gathering all the facts.

Exactly!

After AJ experience there's no way they couldve taken this so lightly.

Another reason he kept the disgusting truth to himself is he's going on transfer so he thinks w/out him they'll have a shot at married life.

Even the 'goodness he was trying to project looked 🤢🤮 cz again he was repeating history by forcing his decision on Samrat's relationship 💆‍♀️

They are not even copying properly. Instead just bent on whitewashing a character who absolutely DOES NOT deserve this. Just posted this in the episode discussion thread:

I haven’t been watching for over a week now, but today I wish I was, so I could quit again Came to see updates, and kya bakwas hai. I hate NeilSha for making me love a horrible show like this. Anyway achcha hai, these kind of episodes are helping a lot with the detox.

I seriously hope TRPs fall and inko akal aa jaye. I know - who the hell are we - but still. At the same time as this I also stopped watching the top show since I got irritated with them also. But seeing how their track is hotting up again I am going to start rewatching with more interest. They are also a remake and I also ffed through the original, but the way they have redone it for a wider audience is genuinely praiseworthy. They can be very cringe sometimes, but I feel they genuinely deserve the top spot.

i didn't expected more than that from today's episode knowing vanku and pakhis love ( character). Virat has still not killed the snake lurking at them and it is going to bit him hard when he will realise it's impact on their marriage life, especially on sai. I only liked the part where he thanked sai. The past 3 days episode i enjoyed but today it was a disappointment. Now the delusional didi as well as many members will think that samrakhi relationship closeness is reason for virat's rude behaviour to sai.

Bold - Oh God!! We have to see such days too..

I don’t know why white wash a single character at the expense of the rest.. just because they bought tide on wholesale doesn’t mean they have make Didi white..

There are Chakrams who could use a good washing too..

I have no words to describe my rage 😡😡 Jalebi / Escapee Chavan is making the same mistake again 🤦🤦

It was such a disappointed and totally ridiculous episode 🙄🙄 I was confused whether I should bash my head or go inside the screen and bash Veeru's head on the wall repeatedly 😾😾

In their love for a parallel story and Pakhi, they are destroying Virat every single day.. I cant even say much now..

Heard also that he said today that Patralekha is in a situation where she needs a friend. How understanding. What about his wife who has literally NO ONE? She is supposed to understand his unstated feelings on her own, but he will support the woman who proposed an EMA to him?! I am expecting the next interview of the actress to say how decent KBA actually is, where she didn’t propose an EMA, just a divorce and then going away together. How decent

Pah. How much will they butcher all the characters? First Sai whitewashing criminals and praising her abuser KBA, now this. Frankly now it feels like this serial is about a brash young girl whose love for a decent man from a great family finally broke her high flying and honest spirit and made her a proper bahu. And there are people who still support and justify Virat’s character - even women. Jai ho.
