A miscarriage has to be the most traumatic experience any woman can go through .. Every time I hear of one, my heart breaks. Being a mother myself & going through a pretty intense 34-week pregnancy, I know the feeling of at least the fear of losing a child. My heart cried for Anjali .. But, to be honest, I loved the episode. After quite a few shaky ones, in fact today's episode seemed a balanced one with the right pace, intensifying emotions, taking the story towards a culmination. Yes, the story did take a turn none of us looked forward to .. But from drama point of view, this was a major turn.
I loved how they portrayed two parallel stories of two couples through the song sequence ..
"Mehndi Lagake Rakhna, Doli Sajake Rakhna
Lene Tujhe O Gori, Aayenge Tere Sajna"
Both the women, deeply in love, are waiting for their love.. Both dressed in their bridals, with mehendi in hand. But their love stories are not same ... While one gets the "drop of love", an embrace of love, the other gets her path throned, loses the most significant part of herself. Both are in love - unconditional, unearthly but one has got her man wrong. This one song contrasted their love stories so wonderfully ... "Ye Dil Ki Baat Apne, Dil Mein Dabake Rakhna" - Keeps us wondering on the fate of these two Goris going forward. While one has her man setting the trap for her, the other has her man stand by her. While one has her man smile to see her in pain, the other has her man to let her support him in his distress.
The moment Anjali stepped on the broken glasses, my heart went to her. Yes, she has been wrong since she ignored her brother's judgement & concern. She has been wrong for not questioning for once her husband's deception. But she is not wrong because she loves him .. She is right in her love. Delusional or not, selfish or not .. She loves her man & she has paid a heavy price today for not loving him, but for the wrongs that her blind love caused her. Love without reasons it is - in all sense.
This turn in the story opens a major question on the fate of our favourite star-crossed lovers. There are so many possibilities - their story can go wrong again but there is still hope. The one I would love most to happen is Arnav-Khushi deciding in unison to delay or back out from the marriage while Anjali makes them carry on with it. Did not Shyam say he will never let this marriage happen? He tried to kill two birds at a time - breaking off the marriage & his re-entry at RM. We are yet to see if or how he succeeds in his attaining the two objectives though in the process, he has successfully managed to kill his own blood. How ironic! He is the most selfish person in this story who is only bothered about himself & his cravings. He is so blinded in rage & vengeance that he does not even realize he, in fact, has himself lost his biggest treasure.
I am least bothered if Shyam is to enter RM or not .. He will be the bad ass wherever he is but being in RM, may actually help Anjali or at least, Daadi to have her share of doubts on him.
One last thing - the shot where Khushi holds her hand Arnav did not seem to hold her back. This shot did strike me .. It can connote different things. He might have been too numb to reciprocate which is very obvious for anyone at this stage. But as they zoomed out, the two were still together hand in hand. The way they have focused on the shot, without a doubt, it was significant. For me, it was more of to show how Khushi will always be by his side - no matter whether he seeks support or not .. Reminds me of "Peetal ka Bartan" again. Lets not worry too much .. I have faith in them if not in fate. Besides, the good will always have the last laugh.
Notes:
1) Now that Anjali has lost her baby, I wonder why there were so many twin references & what is up with the pickle jar? :)
2) The rocker was not bought for the right reason. It was to hide his mischief, his lust .. So it never reached the angel. It was tainted with his evilness .. Now that the angel is not coming, can we have the rocker show the world what it was really meant for? Just my expectation from the CVs ..
