It is a figurative question, of course. Not a literal teaser da.😳

When I come up with questions/scenes like these (e.g. Azeez spending the night before the duel alone in front of a fire; Heera reminded of AMK when she sees the rain, while biding time in prison etc) it is because these are parts and bits of the story that shall remain behind the scenes for logistical reasons (or the story shall never end)

YET they make for interesting discussions/ angles here, amongst friends 😳

And look what a cropper Sandy has come up with!👏

Khalil too. All these men thought that the visually impaired petite girl was an easy target/scapegoat and could be dominated at will. But she cleanly pulled the rug from under all the three 'strong and powerful' men without raising the slightest suspicion.

She wriggled out of being forced into the wedding with the swine by defying him in Sabha Niwas and clearly had the upper hand till he mentioned AMK. She also turned the tables on him in the Shehzade's court and played along with Khan Sahib to trap him into the duel and made him a suspect in everyone's eyes.

Khalil- she played along and gained time and sent the SOS through the Marwari Racer.

And you forget how she tricked both the beast and his jailor friend in the latest escapade - one of the two main reasons why we have an 'alive' Khan Sahib today!

And she adroitly convinced the Shehzade into allowing a meeting with AMK in the dungeons and managed to prepare the medicine and treat her husband right umder his nose without his being aware of it.

She proves that the mind is a weapon sharper than the sword. She is like the reeds who can bend and survive in any storm.

And it is because they bend that they do not snap!

Durga in her place might probably not have succeeded with the three men as much. Being straight, confident and daring she would have put the opponents on the alert. And being a warrior would have raised the sword and been overcome.

No. She wouldn't have. She would have gone down in history as a brave girl. And she has here too. But she wouldn't have been a 'survivor'.

The likes of JB would have put the opponents not just on alert but ready to pounce with her self proclaimed greatness and lectures.

I knew this was coming!🤣

Heera would have been Chanakya's delight.

Yes... that is exactly the sort of girl I wanted to pen. Headstrong but in a way that one wouldn't think of describing as 'headstrong' at first, second or even the third sight. Her genteel nature is genuine. But any man who mistakes her as merely genteel and thus disarms himself (hence AMK always had his guard up???) can be in for quite a rude (and deadly) shock as Mahendar/Khalil and Shehzaade find themselves - since that genteelness conceals quite a devious mind within - all used for a good cause, of course!

While she has no qualms apologising (even to those in status far below her) if she is wrong; she is quite strong-willed when cornered using wrongful means and pressure. Which is why even in the direst circumstances, she refused to get married to Mahendar because she knew something was very off about him. She refused to get married to AMK because of the abject betrayal she felt (though she'd give up her power to him). And refused to forgive him at first - taking her time to understand him.

But all of this stubbornness came with good reason [the sort of reasons that would have got most of us strong-willed girls behaving in similar fashion, I think (and hope!)]

Of course, all of these dire circumstances could have worked against her favour too - but she always seemed to have a trick up her sleeve, dusts her skirt, stands up and carries on from where fate dropped her with a never-say-die attitude. Much like her own husband!

Which is why, no other couple could have survived and come out of the events in part 4.

Damn... I got carried away, I think...
