Half-assed reunion

Not sure if I can put my finger on it, but there was something missing when Neil and Ragini confessed their MUs to each other and how each was so wrong in not believing the other.

It wasn't blissful, it was incomplete. Ragini cried and cried. And Neil agreed he should have tried harder to convince her 15 years ago. He didn't mention the phone call at all.

Instead of groveling in front of Neil and making it look like it was ALL her fault, Ragini should have pulled herself together and asked Neil why didn't he try harder 15 years ago? Why did he not make an all out-effort to convince her that Suhani was not his biological child. Why didn't he chase down Ronnie, get a blood test, get a DNA test, get his friends to counsel Ragini, stalk his wife until she became convinced. WHY did he let it go? Quite frankly, Neil's behavior at that time was almost like Suhani WAS his child and Ragini can like it or lump it!

The Neil we saw in the Flash Backs was a little emotionally detached. It is difficult to gauge how he felt about keeping the Roopali-secret from his wife. Was it just a matter of fact for him? He was not doing anything wrong, then why on earth would his wife have a problem? And why does his wife need proof about the baby? Is his word not good enough? At a different time and place, in different circumstances, it may have been enough, but not where they were in their marriage, only 4 years into it and four little children, and a wife who was insecure at the best of times! (given Neil's past) They were starting out and navigating a complex new relationship.

It is easier to relate to how Ragini was feeling at that time. A young mom with four small children, no sleep, her body changing with child birth, feeling unattractive, a husband who was busy pursuing a very high profile career. And then in midst of all this, an old girlfriend pops up. And much to Ragini's horror, the ex is pregnant. And when confronted by the wife, the ex-lover gives her very ambiguous answers! Ragini's paranoia takes over. But Neil couldn't see any of this. He wasn't thinking like a husband.

But why did he so easily agree to the divorce? It was almost like, "A divorce? Oh well, whatever. Divide the kids? Sounds like the plan! I am off to New York. Don't call me."

Their reunion looks a little hollow to me. So much bitterness is still hanging in the space between them! So many questions still need to be answered. And all along, Neil really did have all the answers. If he loved his ex-wife so much and was "possessive" about her, as he claimed, why didn't he try again? Why leave it so long? The big question is, would anything have changed if his daughter Nishi did not make the first move?

They rushed in clearing the MUs ,because i think somehow they were not getting the good Trps and hence decides to bring some new tracks by starting with showing the MUs cleared betwen Neira and then show some family bond which actually was the real concept of the show and that missed since day 1.

Well, very valid questions.

But somewhere I think BOTH of them knew that the nitty-gritties of the whole "why did you not tell-to-why did you not trust my word" phase were not worthy of painful recall at the immediate stage.

She was heartbroken to find out that she accused of him something he had never done. He was relieved that she had finally found out the truth. They may or may not get down to the bottom of the time the call came, Suhani's birth, his miserable years and her times of extreme difficulties in the near future.

At this point, they are just relived that the lowest point of their bitter past has finally been put to rest. Yes, there are some unanswered questions. If you saw this in an english drama you will expect them to reveal it at some point during the re-uniting phase on in the immediacy of it.

But given BT's ham handed past/present I don't expect a dime of justice. They will just say, here's the reunion what you wanted so be happy now.

Since the creatives mishandled the flashbacks they have not been able to really get a hold on things.

Viewers were getting tired of the same repeated things going on and on and on.

Hope the next track is handled better.

They knew that they messed big time with the FBs and the actual reason of divorce which is so lame frankly,and hence they rushed.

It also showed how they started the show,without ready even with the core reason of divorce which actually is the main important backdrop of this whole show.

Agree it was rushed, and the reason is again viewers were irritated with fake marriage and Suhani's

that's fine... Now it's all new and fresh

we fans are for sure happy about the new Promo

hope for the best

Yes I agree that the scene was a bit rushed.

But what I feel is its just the first one to one confrontation after the misunderstandings got cleared. We cannot expect them to blurt out everthing in a single scene.

If the new promo is the jist for the future track, then its very likely that we may get some more NeiRa scenes and their one to one conversations. They'll open up slowly, will share all their feelings when they parted, the feelings when they both once again entered in their lives, everything! But we'll have to wait for that..its not possible to cover all this in one scene.
