Red hot Maha episode - Page 10

Morning/Evening, InDi, G, Dazee and Beena Di...Dazee & InDi, loved your posts! Completely agree with everything you've said. Dazee, I have faith in these CVs, too...They have rectified what was necessary in only the way they can!!

After a long time, I felt the tremors today at first watch itself. Now a masterstroke in storytelling, the ME more than set us up for what was in store today. The depth in the epi was staggering, even with the flaws in execution at certain instances. But I am more than willing to overlook the lapses here. Before I go any further, loved the Naani-Anjali, NK-Sheetal scene...NK on a mission--may he not fail! The chess match was very telling...'Checkmate'-- Check & Mate(Priya, hahaha, another Crooner title!😉)--when have we discussed that in the Crooner before, and for whom? Who was victorious then? If the conclusion of today's match is an indicator, the road ahead is going to have plays and gambits which we least expected.

We are all united in sensing the storm on the horizon yet again...That shot of the full moon, a premonition as always. Will broken glass be next? I struggle with the track because of the sutradhaar: Sheetal's modus operandi is blatantly "obvious", just like it was with Shyam's scheming. But then we had that mind-numbing and utterly heart-stopping miscarriage which changed the trajectory of the story; I feel we are headed in the same direction here. The obvious conclusion would be that Sheetal will be "caught" by Khushi and Khushi's "suspicions" (and ours) will be confirmed. As Priya so eloquently reminded us a few Crooners ago, we are "seeing" this track through Khushi's eyes, and we are interpreting Sheetal through that lens. What if there is something/someone else there? The gambits. This is the piece I am struggling with the most, and really, I don't want to speculate about.

@InDi: Re. ASR and that amazingly poignant leap of faith and love today: Just brought me back to Priya again...That bridge convo she had referred to re. status, money, and what it takes to be Mrs. Arnav Singh Raizada. You closed the loop on her words today so brilliantly!! Not so much a prophecy as it is an awareness and complete acknowledgement of who she is to him now. Liberating his wife so that she can be independent. Not because she has asked for it, but because he knows that the future is never predictable, no matter what rituals, pujas, beliefs, etc tell us. It brings me back to his conversation with his Di, too...'Sab apni zindagi hai'---destiny determines when we come into this world and when we leave, but as far as 'living' in this world, he can have some control over it. In turn, he wants Khushi Kumari Gupta Singh Raizada to have (at the very least) financial control over her own life. And I LOVED that it incorporated her love for food and cooking--what mattered to her & her identity! I also loved the dialogue about registering her because there is no one like her!! That dialogue needs to be patented!!

If Khushi leaves without an explanation, ASR 's conviction in his love will be on trial. Somewhere a sense of defeat that he failed to convince Khushi about the atoot bharosa and vishwas...That faith=love are not just words. No matter how noble Khushi's intentions in reuniting a supposedly fatherless child with its biological father, fact remains that their love lost in the process; somewhere her insecurities trumped. And this fact remains even if she were to stay, too! What will spur him to win her back, knowing that there is no truth to this hand fate has laid in front of them? It will be a battle between good and evil, yet again. Innocence (both the child's and the couple's) and veiled vindictiveness spurring heads. In which "realm" will love triumph again? The battle begins now. En garde!

Priya, you would have loved the epi; thought of you throughout, my oracle!! Hope you had a chance to watch it, hun...😊
