This proverb is said to emphasize that the person who has control of a situation in the end is most successful, even if other people had seemed originally to have an advantage.
CVs are currently engaged in showing us how one can upstage your significant other, not so significant in this case because I don't think Khushi means anything to ASR at this point of time.
In yesterday's episode, we saw both the leads challenging one another. We saw a determined Khushi who was hell bent in getting her questions answered . We also saw an equally determined ASR who was flabbergasted by her audacity.
Today however, the tables have turned. We saw a "smarter" ASR who has managed to tilt the game to his advantage. We see a distraught and unhappy Khushi who is still desperately trying to turn the tides.
So does ASR come across as the smart one? To me a smart person will be one who could win a game through his/her wit, intelligence and integrity. Victory through deceit and lies is child's play. Anyone can be a victor through unscrupulous means. One must remember, victories achieved through means of deceit and lies are short lived. That is why we see villains always winning in films and serials because they stoop to underhand tactics.
One may argue that everything is fair in love and war . Is it? Would you continue to trust someone, if you learn later in life that this very same person whom you love dearly has cheated you at one point? The person whom you consider your partner has resorted to unscrupulous methods to prove his point? What's great in winning by hook or by crook? It does not prove anyone smarter or intelligent. Instead, it only goes to prove how weak one is.
For the first time while viewing the serial I thought to myself, does Khushi deserve ASR? Is he priceless as he is touted to be?
To me, ASR comes across as a person who lacks conscience. He does not seem to have feelings of guilt or shame for harming others. He is ruthless in getting what he wants. He is narcissistic to the point of being insensitive. But what makes him dangerous is that although he is emotionally bankrupt at the core, he is a master of creating the "illusion" of having so much to offer.
CVs have been continuously degrading the characters with each passing episode. Why couldn't Khushi have asked the relevant questions over the phone rather than beating around the bush? Why couldn't she see through ASR's treachery?
ASR has now dug a deeper hole for himself. His path to redemption will be an arduous and lengthy one. When his game is up, ASR will have to pay a hefty price to appease Khushi and the respective families.
Happy Woman's Day!
