That is it !😡 Gist of today's episode. Good evening / morning girls and boys !
Episode opened with Pooja taking Sippy family to task, she is worried about the news getting out in the open if there is a defamation case. Dr. Rohit Sippy and lawyer chaachi pacify her that they asked for a closed hearing, and therefore no concern for media publicity.
Suman is agonizing about the law suit and the amount of money to be paid and Pari's career to be nipped in the bud by this case. Sonakshi reassuring Pari that nothing will befall her career ???? How? If the word got out that she switched dresses, that doesn't defame Pari? It doesn't matter what the explanation is whether it is because of a stain or not, does public have patience to follow through with the cause of the dress swap? There is some more cryptic talk between Pulkit and Sonakshi about the difficult path towards manzil when you take up the truth. The father accepted some allegation, in an attempt to do the right thing and abandoned them? I didn't understand the heads and tails of this conversation.
Meanwhile, Suman had chest pain and the doctor says VT, needs angiogram and has to be performed only, AND ONLY by the best cardiac surgeon in Mumbai, Dr. Rohit Sippy. Then, we have to hear unnecessary banter between Sonakshi and the doctor, about why and how Dr. Rohit Sippy won't come to treat her mom. Meanwhile, the brother makes a decision for the doctor that he won't come to treat Suman, because she is a Rastogi.
For a show that started off as a parody about TV shows and their depiction of unnatural twisting of medical facts, this is becoming QUITE a show. A surgeon ( not a cardiologist, is Dr. Sippy a cardiologist or a cardiac surgeon ) and ONLY ONE surgeon in the whole of Mumbai, which touts as the medical tourism capital of India is capable of doing a garden variety angiogramThe brother of the doctor turns down a call for the doctorfrom a peer . When the rest of the world considers time as muscle ( heart muscle in the case of a heart attack ), unnecessary banter takes precedence over what needs to be doneTomorrow, they might show that the other doctor checking out Suman turns out to be a dudd and indeed Dr. Sippy is the ONLY ONE in Mumbai Oh Yes ! How did I forget the upcoming OTT drama of Pari yelling " nahin, Dr. Sippy can't touch my mother even if she is dying "If the whole of Mumbai has one doctor capable of doing such a procedure, what about the 1.3 billion hapless souls who inhabit my country? Should we all die as we can't reach Mumbai in time to treat a heart attack? The whole thing is too jarring
Now, coming to my pet peeve 👎🏼🤢😡God, the monologues. What did we do to earn these? We get it Sonakshi, how difficult a TV star's life is. There is an evil mother, evil sister at home who care about nothing but money and their own careers, there are insensitive people around you who ask for selfies in the worst of circumstances, there are cruel rivals at work and old flames who plot against you to see your downfall, there are clueless enemies like Rohit Sippy and his chaachi who don't understand the altruistic you and try to drag you in dirt while you are trying to save the child, there is cruel fate which gives you the worst possible blow by causing your mother to fall ill while you are neck deep in troubles. Oh ! My! Sonakshi, how can we not sympathize with you and bawl our eyes out at your troubles👎🏼😡 I understand they are trying to give us her POV. But why aren't there any monologues about all the nice things that happen to her, like for example, how doting and reliable that younger brother is, how helpful Nethra is, for being a producer, she keeps following Sonakshi around and tries to sort her troubles out, about how the audience worship the very ground she walks on as some supernatural human being, about how great her support systems are at work who make her day flow seamlessly from her driver to household help to her assistants? Why are there no monologues about these niceties in her life? Why should these be always sympathy building? She turned the whole medical fiasco of her mother around and made it all about herself, about how unfair people around her are to her😲.
OK, girls! Had a long day. I can't seem to be able to gather my thoughts much better than this🤔. Later.......
