My take on yesterday's episode

Yesterday's episode was so disgusting that it seemed a pointless waste of time to watch it and even more worthless to try and make sense of it. But then, something occurred to me this morning (bang in the midst of a day choked with deadlines) and I wanted to put it out here to find out what you guys think.

If we suspend our disgust at the events of the last two episodes and think of everything that has happened in them as part of Indira's 'dream' (which has gone on pretty long), a few things start making sense. Such as Rishi's unseemly haste in wanting to marry Indira just after getting two of his closest family arrested.

Those who are in tune with Rishi's character would be able to identify the dissonance in his behaviour over the last two episodes. He is out of character. I'm sure many Rishi fans would have said "This is not the Rishi we know!" The Rishi we know would not send his family to prison and immediately get down to planning his wedding. My guess is that this dissonance is because we are seeing Rishi in the way Indira has visualized him. In her defence, she does not really know another side of him to be able to think of him differently. All through, she has taken his presence in her life for granted. And this is something Rishi has been constantly reinforcing. He has been openly telling her that he will never leave her side.

The other events in the episode, such as her married life, kids, and so on, are perhaps to indicate that she now knows that Rishi is the one for her. She has shed the last vestiges of doubt and distrust and is willing to accept his hand. Earlier too, when she realized that she loved Rishi, that acknowledgement also came through in her dream. I think she makes up for her lack of active introspection by searching her subconscious mind for answers. She seeks answers to the big questions in life in her dreams, which she knows and understands as instruments to bring hidden truths to the fore. She yearns to be married and live a normal life. She wants a husband and kids.

In the 'film' that she sees with Rishi, not a single member of her family is present. Not even her laadla Ishaan. It's as though she has no other responsibilities. But in her 'dream', which I think comprises the remaining events of the two episodes, they are all there exhibiting their normal behaviour. They will serve as reality checks and jolt her out of her dream. They are reminders of her responsibilities. Which she is now willing to share with Rishi.

Coming to the Mandira accusation in the precap, it is perhaps Indira's guilt surfacing. She perhaps thinks that she has no right to be happy when her sister is so unhappy and going through so much.

I think she will wake up into a reality in which Rishi is no longer around her. He is probably somewhere else dealing with his own demons. That's when the universe will swing into action and bring the couple together. Amen to that!

I'm finally done. Over to you guys. Please feel free to concur/ poke holes in this theory...as you think fit.

Sravasti, well if it is dream, it is one of the weirdest dreams I have ever come across 😕.
All this will make sense only and if and only if it is Indira's dream and when she wakes up, Rishi has gone.

If this is reality and we are moving towards another marriage track (potential flop), then I am disillusioned. I have no words.. I am pretty sure this marriage will also stop with probably disastrous consequences (Manshi pair being formed). If this is reality, then like @jjkg said in another thread, it is an absolute murder of Rishi and Indira's character... 😕

The point about dreams is they are weird and illogical. But I guess we have no option but to wait and watch.

I have a feeling it is not a dream...though I am not sure what else can it be...cause everything just fell into place immediately after the court case...Even Indira started dressing up and munna screaming for the electricity and kutumb mata for ration...Is everyone in SN weird? and what about Rishi? he too looks very relaxed...

I have a strong feeling that mandira could be pregnant, and thts the course the story is going to take. what do u guys think.

well... to me yesterday's epi was nothing but a filler episode...n then worst of it...was the precap... I don't konw in which direction this story is moving... but at this stage I don't want InShi marriage... however I was the d one who was carving 4 der marriage... but don't know , why I'm feeling dis now... at this stage, I want Rishi to take care of his career first so that he can help Indira in taking up her responsibilities n some more "Shadi se pahle ka romance" n den marriage...

this better be a dream or else this entire serial is soon gonna turn into everybodys worst nightmare😆😛

Reasons y i still feel it cud be a dream:

1. almost every scene is a repeat of what inshi have already done before. the almost kiss was done in macau, the 'to kijiye na' was same as 'pvt mein aa jaun', n many more!
2. indu cud not imagine the kiss & the SR pieces bcoz she has no experience there. she completed those pieces theoretically & moved on after rishi says...the next part is not for kids (which is again a repeat of a similar dialogue 'aap to bacchi nahi hai na' by rishi in the episode where she dresses his wounds) knowing rishi, his version wouldnt have been so censored😛
3. she did not smile even once in the entire dream. if rishi was imagining her, the first thing he wud have imagined is her smile...or rather indira laughing like crazy @ something he said. her smile is dat important to him! remember he u used to carry her 'ek din main bhi hasungi' chit wid him wherever he went like a charm! this unsmiling indira even after so many happy events take place in her life cannot be rishis dream!
4. the whole thing is how rishi will be as a husband. he changes his name, he takes care of the kids, he plays wid the kids, he objects to their marriage. if rishi had been dreaming wudnt it have been the other way round...like indu being happy, indu gradually trusting him & opening up wid him, joking wid him. these r things which matter to rishi. the dream was full of responsibilities which usually matter more to indira.
5. the saree sequence...i know dis bit is too technical...n in HD thr r bloopers galore, but does indu really own such a fancy saree with such a fancy blouse 😆looking at her wardrobe (other than her marriage ka lehenga which was just wow!!!!) the saree does look like a dream😛 n knowing wat rishi is (remember the fotos he has changed on the matrimony site) i doubt he wants to see her in a saree...saree is too sweet n innocent like indu...rishi is neither 😈
6. yesterday nobody acknowledged rishi during the saree thing. it was as if only indu cud see him. strange if he was thr...like some sort of a ghost 😆
7. as soon as rishi leaves to meet the pandit mandy = responsibility, enters. she is taunted, she gets unreasonable, n hence indu starts feeling guilty.
8. since friday all things seem like individual scenes. there is no connect bween them. plus rishi planning his marriage on the very day he put his family behind the bars is just 🤢 i dont expect him to be sorry but this scene a day or two later would have been better
9. to immediately think of marriage after any bad patch in life ends is usually something indu does. she thinks marrying rishi will offer her some solace. for her its simple...if rishi has to be in her life its as her husband (her love confession...she says she wants to be mrs. rishi kumar, after being rescued from jail she again asks him to marry her)

all things said...i can only add one thing. if its a dream rishis character is saved. if its real indiras character is saved. but in the end, InShi lose! more on this part after the actual episode/s😛

NOTE: my entire post depends on the rishi kumar/ ricky diwan we have been shown till thursdays episode! now if the CVs decide to ruin his character in a single day like they did wid sam, inder, etc...all this is gonna go for a toss

The debacle that was yesterday's episode does not deserve indepth analysis. I cannot believe the utter ruination of Rishi's character. 🤢 🤢 🤢 No dignity, no strength of character, no self respect. 🤢🤢 🤢 Bas ek sadak chaap Romeo ki tarah battissi dikha raha tha. Gross! 🤢 🤢 Ab toh yeh din aa gaye hain ki the only redeeming feature remains the good looks of Rati and Sumit. Both of them were looking awesome yesterday. Unfortunately I cannot drool for long over good looks so yea I guess mujhe yeh serial dekhna bandh hi karna padega! 😡

@Shruti: Yaar agar yeh Indira ka sapna bhi hain toh aisi nightmarish dream sequence dikhakar kya kar rahein hain creatives? I have never felt so disconnected with this serial in these past 5 months as I have felt so since the Friday episode aired.

Sravasti...
