While I'm dreading about Tuesday's episode, I am equally content at the neatness with which RoNakshi's vows taken during the wedding have been redefined.
Rohit is one powerful man - both physically and emotionally. When his protective instinct kicks in, no one can stop him. He would do anything and everything to keep his precious possession safe. While suman starts going off about how none of the sippy's came for sonakshi, ajit turns up and hands sonakshi the phone saying rohit wants to talk to her. And oh the relief the moment he heard her voice. That one breath of sigh, those few seconds of leaning against the wall in relief, and that one gesture of drawing the phone to his lips as if trying to feel his Sona said SO much about his worry, anxiety, guilt, stress and agony and to what extent he loves his wife.
And then when sonakshi burns her hand - a very very typical scene that's been used countless times in the ITV, But each time it has its unique effect on the audiences just like it did on me. "kya karrahi ho Sona, steam tha ye, blisters ho jayega". You know, I might have been upset with how cvs has been turning rohit character so unbearably annoying with his taunts about parvati and always holding her responsible for everything but he has always fulfilled the responsibility of a good husband. So far, he has always stood by her, stood FOR her (95% of the times), supported her decisions and showered his love on her and taken pride for the woman she is.
The circumstances might have been such that his trust was broken, the time had been such that he uttered something as hurtful as 'I hate you' to the very person he loves the second most, yet he hasnt stopped worrying for herWe should remember rohit is also a human, it's is OKAY to get mad st your wife, he is no angel to always do the right thing. What matters is how he COMES AROUND. and he proved his power in coming around with perfection (... so far. im not talking about the potential misunderstanding on the way)
And the same goes for Sonakshi. This woman has my respect. Despite being accused of such heinous crime, inspite of being left alone to get interrogated by the police, sonakshi finds the mental and physical strength and energy to talk normally with her husband on the phone, hears the longing in his voice when he asks if she's gonna come to the hospital, replies immediately that she's coming straight to the hospital, goes into the ICU and embraces her husband in her warmth and consoles him. I mean look at the beauty of her character - if it was any other daughter in law with the least bit of selfishness, she would have gone to her maika right there and then. But having selfless in the gene is something only a few are priviledged with. And sonakshi is one such woman....yes sometimes her goodness backfires and make her look dumb, but in the world so brutal and toxic, it is hard to win over. But as they say "apna time ayega", and when it comes, the sippy's will be st sonakshi's feet.
The upcoming episodes are gonna be a difficult test and trial for both rohit and sonakshi. While sonakshi will have a hard time proving herself innocent, rohit will have to give one of the most difficult tests of faith on his wife. Lets see if he passes this test or not :)
