We, the viewers of HD, should be honoured. Today, Ila Bedi Dutta spoke to us! Through Radhey. The message of the scene was that anything that brings TRPs is a hit. The rest does not matter. And the USP of the show, The Slap, was used to convey this message. So, literally and figuratively, Ila Bedi told us that anything goes! If it doesn't work for you, too bad. It works for me and you can take this slap as an indication of what I think about it.
The epi was average. Nice moments were the BNHH moments, which took us back to one of the earliest and most cherished Inshi scenes (this would fetch TRPs, am sure). Anyway, the moment was a personal favourite of mine because it is after a scene in which he tries to rescue her from goons, but got a slap instead. This was at a time when the slaps had some meaning. Still, he goes after her and does his best to convince her to return. Was a really nice scene.
Cut to present. Rishi's bike makes an appearance again and we also saw Rishi's plan in action. Posters of Kabir as a Wanted criminal!! No comments on that. But it helped bring Shrimatiji back into the house. By the way, Shrimatiji is getting back into form. (a certain winner of TRPs) Two juvenile men have a fist fight over what is fair in love and war. Rishi wins this fist fight (more TRPs) because Kabir is distracted by Husna. Very symbolic. She brings about his destruction. They also set 24 hour deadlines for each other. One says he'll help her regain her memory in the next 24 hours and the other says he'll whisk her away to Lahore. I thought the doctor had clearly said that she cannot be stressed out, but the TRPs lie in getting her memory back in 24 miraculous hours because Saajan ki Sajni has walked out.
We caught a glimpse of Neha Talwar in the precap. She seemed in a complete hurry to escape from the zoo and the show. Except that jaate jaate, she reminds Indira of Mandira. Sajni's good deed done, Indira on the way. Jai TRPs!
