A girl comes to Indira asking for her help to divorce her nikamma husband. She married him because she loved him, but is now tired of responsibility. (Aside: On a lighter note, I felt Indira should have been glad and relieved to know that there are others like her). The husband comes at that time and tries to say that they do not want to separate. But the wife will not hear of it. Here, I felt, Indira should have at least heard out what the fellow had to say. You cannot hear only one side of the story and attempt justice.
Anyway, Rishi fights the case of the husband and Indira argues for the wife. Important questions were raised about love -- the nature of love, its pain, its pitfalls, its simplicity, and its complexity. Rishi has invested his whole self, every fibre of his being in loving Indira. He admits as much in the beginning of the episode when he says that Indira's love is his zindagi bhar ki kamayi. He puts aside his ego every single time because he loves her so much. There is nothing that he will not do to see her happy. For him, that is what love means. It literally means showering the object of your affection with all the love in your capacity.
For Indira, love comes in different shades. Her love for her family, her love for Ishaan (as distinct from her family), her love for Rishi, and her love for Indu...all of these are different, distinct strokes and shades of love. She has a great capacity to love, but perhaps not lose herself in it because she is also deeply conscious of the responsibilities and obligations that come with love. Another form of love. Both experience love in their individual ways and express them in their individual ways.
But does love change with time? As you get to know a person better, do the initial feelings undergo such a radical change? Do you start disliking the person to the extent of wanting to separate? What is it that changes? Does a person change? Does marriage change that thing called 'love'?
To my limited understanding, a person, in essence, does not change. So, (this is for the girls especially) the person you loved and the person you married are the same. It the rose tinted 'lowe' makes it all look different 😊
Rishi and Indira were "all heart" today when fighting the case. The outpouring of frustration should have happened long ago. All the bitter words and the accusations should have found an outlet yesterday before the lines were painted and chalked. But better late than never.
I really liked the precap. A very angry Rishi was scolding Indira about starving. And when the possibility of the pregnancy was mentioned, the change of expression on both faces was priceless. Maybe they'll come together after all. Unless our Hitler, on the rebound, builds a wall where the lakeer was 😆
