Beautifully written, Mahi. I agree with almost everything you wrote except I didn't really feel much for Sona.
In fact, I got angry with her for ratting on curly haired chaachu😡. Curly haired chaachu and Deepa were having their private conversation, he is venting at the perceived injustice just doled out to him , more like sounding out his frustration and his next game plan. How many times, when something bad is served to us, do we have an immediate knee jerk plan?
Let me explain with an analogy ( by now, people must have figured out, I love analogies 😃)For example, I have a melt down when a impossible and unexpected situation is thrown at me, which happens once every couple of months. Behind closed doors, I might vent out to my secretary that I don't know why I am putting myself through this torture, I should move on to more greener pastures. I don't really mean that, as I truly love what I do. But, in frustration, THAT is my plan. That is NOT my intention. If one of my intrusive colleagues who hears this conversation from the other side of the door, goes to my chair and talks about planning for my replacement, because she/ he heard me say this, I WILL HIT THE ROOF😡I will deny ever having said it as I truly haven't😡, rather I am sounding out my frustration. That doesn't mean I am lying, it just means that my colleague has no business meddling with my affairs, whether I deal with the situation or I quit😡Sona expecting chaachu and Deepa to admit to " yes, I was going to sue Naren" is plain stupid😡 and her shocked, oh so betrayed, bechari reaction evoked nothing but disbelief at the audacity of that lady from me😡 I might be sounding harsh, but think about it....
I feel the same way you feel about everything else. I agree this Nishi doesn't invoke the nice, warm fuzzies like the prior Nishi. The Nishi is a confident cosmetic dermatologist, born in affluence with a chip on her shoulder, love for her family and her daughter, head strong and matched with Suman in temper, who lived in her own bubble, but didn't hesitate to admit her mistake when she knew she was wrong. Why must they turn a completely natural character into this? A out and out vamp who has eyes only for money💔 This truly broke my heart.
I agree with you about Rohit's character. This guy is a good balance of a guy who is flawed because of a short fuse, but his depth of understanding of situations had been amazing👍🏼. I often feel like Sona didn't even understand what he is soo peeved and angry about, his hurt and his heart break. She pushed him to the extreme, of him not caring anymore about what she is saying, what she is expecting from him. That was the ultimate disconnect she pushed him into, which is sad😒. But, I don't think she understood the crux of the problem. Now, he is only relying on his instincts about what he believes about Sona's innate character even though he is in total disagreement with her recent ludicrous acts and thoughts. I don't know if I am making sense or digging myself into a deeper ditch😃
I will stop. Love to read your thoughts. Amazingly expressed, my friend👍🏼
Oh thank you Milli. On a day like today it's nice to get another perspective. I know it's fiction but man was I so mad after today's episode and what is to come on Monday.
Whatever sympathy I felt for Sona mainly for her intensions (Road to hell paved with good intensions only na) gone after seeing the upcoming segments. Beware total white wash for sona and complete guilt and repent for Rohit...
Man the love of ITVs for so called righteous FLs fighting for everyone's good by bringing out their worst side then get victimized then get glorified.
Seeing the state of Sippy family I prefer a plotting (for so many years) Nishis than Sona who blows them down like a pack of cards in a matter of month!!!
Sorry for the character assassination but felt so sad for the loss of another good story telling to mediocrity.
Look forward to your take on next week's episodes(badly need it)Take care friend😊
