I, for one thought it was a brillaint epi, so many things have happened in it. But there is one thing that stood out for me, for which, after all these months of throwing shoes and jhadoos, I am willing to throw a bunch of flowers at the CVs for today's epi. (small one, I don't trust the damn lot).
The outstanding thing was for ASR for the first time probably in his life has found someone other than those of his family who care for him. He is cared for without any of the baggage of pain and sorrow of the cirumstances that he needs to constantly navigate through in his interactions with his own family members.
I loved the interaction between Garima, buaji and ASR. I loved how they showed their care for him without any demands, any expectations. Imagine a person who's never allowed himself to trust or believe anyone other than his family, opens up to these simple women and is touched by their acceptance of him. A man who has never apologised, does so without hesitation. How far this man has travelled!
No, he is not god but nor is he the dog that he wants the world to think he is.
This is a man who's had a lot to put up with, not just what destiny has thrown at him, but worse what other people have done to him and his life. While, KKG and he are bound by the sorrow of the loss of their respective parents, KKG had a wonderful set of people who took her in and loved and cherished her as their own. ASR has not had that luxury, he's had to grow iup very quickly, harden himself and learn not to care. No, he is not perfect and nothing excuses his bad behaviour, but at least he seems to be thinking a bit about his actions.
As for KKG, much as I adore her, much as she has been wronged, I just wish the Cvs wouldn't assassinate her character by making her such flighty creature- she's upset with what has happened, goes out for walk with her dad, comes back and the moment she sees the gol gappas, everything is forgotten! OK, she's 19, but that is not being 9, is it? I just wish she'd think a bit and reflect on things.
Anyway, for all their sins, the cvs have done well by giving us an episode full of honesty, ASR admitting what he thinks of her home, she giving him a true picture of how the other half live. he tellign her she's hurt him, she telling him she's upset with him too. ASR admitting he shouldn't have lost his calm, buaji and garima telling him that the bond matter more than the labels.
Most important, the cvs have been honest with the viewers, no more hiding behind ASR's towels and torso or KKG's 'cute/uncute' antics.
ASR proved that he is the Asli Sone ka Rakhsas, he cracked a joke and nearly laughed at it- main to bahut khaata hun! ha , ha!😃
