The title expresses my feelings in Kutumb style...didn't know what to make of the epi and so, didn't know what to call the post. So fell back on the standard expression that Kutumb uses for everything - good and bad 😛
After today's epi, I want to know what exactly the Lahorewali's condition is. Is she mentally sound or unsound? Seemed to me today that she could grasp Zara's state of mind, comfort her, and even readily go into the mental hospital to get out of Zara's way. She voluntarily said 'bye' to Zara and returned the mangalsutra to her. A mentally unsound person is surely incapable of understanding the significance of any of this. When Rishi first brought her home, the doctor had said that she is like a child who needs care and understanding even in daily routine tasks.
Coming to Rishi, his impotent rage was well expressed. But he brought this upon himself, right? If he left the decision to Zara, then he must live with the decision. And if he wanted Indira by his side, then he should have communicated his decision to Zara instead of allowing her to decide. His anger is directed at himself for believing that Zara would decide in accordance with his wishes. But having handed it to her, he should have accounted for the fact that this may not go entirely as he wishes. To call Zara's concern for Indu hypocritical, then, was not correct.
Indu fainted! Imagine! Whether it was for the jolt of not seeing her mother, or whether it was because her own tantrum was too much for her, we will never know.
But she fainted at the same time that Lahorewali did! God at work again showing us His mysterious ways and how He treats mothers and daughters who have a "dil ka rishta". Except that He was slightly harsher on Lahorewali. She hurt her head, cracked her skull, and bled a bit. (Ramble: At this point, I remember thinking how exciting and innovative it would be if they showed that through the crack in the skull caused by this injury, Lahorewali's tumour seeps out and she is completely cured. But the precap was about some scam 😔. HD is very much into social awareness. They will now educate us about corruption in mental hospitals. Already, the doc that Zara left a hefty cheque with has been shown to be a cad).
Question: Why did Zara give money to the hospital? If she is a police officer who is in tune with the times, then she knows that in India, no institution of this kind uses donated money for the patient. (Going by that logic, the fact that she thinks that Indira will be cared for in a better manner in the hospital is slightly unbelievable. But this is just a show.) Was she trying to alleviate her guilt by paying for Indira's treatment? I am inclined to think not, but would be glad to hear what others have to say about this.
No doubt, she will bring Indira back home. But not only because of Rishi's reaction. She has to uncover the hospital scam and rescue Indira from there.
Am finally done. Thanks for reading. 😊
