Hi Everyone (Anu, this post is particularly for you, as I just finished watching the episode again...yawn, its midnight!)
- Bani does not look happy when she goes inside Jai's Study...she has a very slight smile on her face, but it is a sad smile....it reflects the happiness and contentment of getting Pia married but it also shows the grief of letting Jai down....the moment Jai enters, her eyes turns very serene and downcast!
I might have read it wrong, but I saw a smile with content and happiness too for her sister. Her reactions changed when only Jai came in front⌠does that mean she remembered Jai's state only when he came in front. (I know u r going to sighing at my childish behaviour. But I desperately want someone to convince me Bani wasn't against Jai's interest. U know na I am happy coz bani made the mistake of taking Pia's palce just coz Jai and Bani are meant to be.)
- Jai holds Bani tightly and tells her how dare she gets Pia and Pushkar married in his house and in such a manner. Bani tells him that she did not want to do such a thing and had wanted to tell that Pia and Pushkar are there at the Walia House on the day of the Party (Remember when Jai and Mohan corner Bani) but Jai was trapped in such a fury of hatred, that she couldn't tell him as much as she wanted to....this proves that Bani did not decieve him nor did she have any intentions to do so...Jai's temper always gets the better of him. If Jai had given one chance to Bani, she would have told him about Pia and Pushkar being at the Walia House!
U really believe Bani would have given it away? I mean tell Jai that Pia and Puhskar are in his house? and after she saying so what did she want Jai to do? Does she even know Jai? Looks like she knew him well that is why she kept quiet. Even if jai was calm do u think she would have told him. Na, I don't think Bani is such a fool. Not after seeing her outwit Jai 3 times in 5 hours.
Btw what if Jai had forgiven and forgotten about how Pai left him with a different bride on the day of his wedding. Do u think it is still correct to expect him to have his ex-fiance's wedding at his house? No. how fair is to say if Bani can see Pushkar get married to someone else, Jai also should be able to accept it. Both of them are tempermentally different and not to forget their situations are drastically different. Pushkar didn't leave Bani the day he was supposed to get married to her, did he? He doesn't even know about it. While Pia accepted Jai's marriage proposal.
- Bani tells Jai that she along with her sisters have great respect for Jai. As I mentioned before, Bani will never say something she does not mean...if she says she respects Jai, that means she respects Jai! What she did was rebellious, but not disrespectful...no one except the family members came to know of what has actually transpired between the Husband and Wife! If she had to be disrespectful to Jai, she could have easily done so....remember what the Media guy tells Jai, that he has been most supportive of Pia and Pushkar's marriage...now that means, Bani would have told the Media guys about Jai's support.....if even it was a lie, it was better than telling them that Jai is up against two helpless lovers.
I wont agrue on Bani's respect for Jai. I admire Bani a lot, she is one of her kind. This is the only time I will disagree with what she has done coz she much as she wont have intended to hurt Jai⌠that is what she ended up doing. And it wasn't as if she wasn't aware what this would mean to Jai. Btw what was the Media doing there in the 1st place? Wasn't it called to keep Jai under control? Or was it meant for anyother purpose I am not getting? Was it any damage control for Jai??? afterall the world seems to believe he ditched Pia for he loved Bani. Was it potraying him as a great guy by getting his ex-fianc now his sister in law married in his own house.
- Bani literally pleads with Jai to let bygones be bygones but he replies by telling her that she sat with her face covered in the marriage, isn't it? Now he will do such a thing with her, that she won't be able to face herself ever....who says such things to a wife? Jai says a lot more and Bani just keeps quiet and listens to him...there is not even a trace of antagonism in her face.....but at the same time, she does not look scared of Jai....and good for her! Bani doesn't have to let go of her self-respect and honor to pacify and make-up with a husband who's ego has been crushed.
With reference to getting over the past, he said he will provided she will return the Jai who was at peace with himself. When she said she couldn't do that, he said it isnt possible for him to forget. Why blame Jai for not being able to forgive? He would forgive everything and everyone one day. But for that give him the space and time. From the time he has known the truth, he has only reacted to a situation coz it has ended up in infuriating him more. Everytime Pia-Pushkar's happiness seems to be placed before his troubled heart. WHY?
I don't expect Bani to stand by Jai just coz she is married to him and is his wife. All I expect from Bani is to be compassionate towards Jai and a Human Being, as a friend and as that person who has always turned to Jai when in trouble. I am not saying she doesn't care⌠but somehow it isnt serving the purpose. We all know when Jai saw the concern for him, he didn't retaliate or hurt Bani, in his own silent way he appreciated the gesture. No one in this world is worth so much that u give up ur self respect. Jai is not worth Bani losing her self respect⌠I would never want that.
- All said and done, Pia and Pushkar, the two idiots have been married and poor Bani and poor Jai are stuck in the most dreadful relationship a person can ever dream of.....I think that Bani should just keep out of Jai's way, but at the same time, not take any insult or any provocation from Jai lying down...she is his lawfully wedded wife...not his personal doormat....let Jai realize this and start respecting her.....love will follow!
Jai respects Bani a lot. Can anyone forget how he appoligised to her for questioning her integrity? He knows to value someone's self respect and esteem. He makes sure he never insults her in front of the world. What turned this situation upside down is the fact that Bani broke his trust so many times the same day(btw I still have my doubts abpout Mohan). Remember he placed the trust he had for Bani above the love he had for Pia. He said ek ne mere vishwas ko thoda, dusare ne mere dil ko, aur teesre ne mujhse mere pyar ko hi cheen liya'. I agree Bani should keep away from Jai. let him cope with the situation on his own. Jai wont treat Bani as a doormat, he treats her his equal in many ways.
His confrontations with Bani are always rude which gives the picture of him abusing her, but more than that it is Jai pouring out his heart to her. Tears well up in her eyes not coz she is hurt by Jai, but for Jai's hurt. If Jai's hurt moves her so much, then why does she forget about it when she sees Pia? Not that I care, but has she ever told pia that what she did by walking out of Jai at their wedding was wrong? I have never seen Bani say so⌠I wonder why? There is no point discussing it, I agree but doesn't Jai have the right to know why Pia agreed to his proposal and betrayed him so badly. You want a solution to this problem? It lies in Pia having the guts to tell jai she said yes to him coz of his Money and walked out on him coz she didn't loved someelse more than his money. Does Pia have the guts? Or Bani for that matter to face that truth??? Does Bani have the guts to shake up Jai and tell him that Pia doesn't deserve him coz she never loved him, it was just his money and power?
No point in dweeling on Pia-Pushkar. Pia is going to walk out of this wedding coz of her ambitions. Jai shouldn't even give a damn now. Trust me, if I could have my way I would stop Jai from wasting time over Pia and Pushkar.
- And on an offnote, Jai has forgiven Pia....I am pretty sure of that! When he talks about settling scores or rather destroying Bani, he never once mentions Pia...whereas previously, it was always Pia whom he wanted to finish off.....I thought that Jai kissed Pia with a lot of affection and his "All the best" was so heart-wrenching.... And only for one instant, Bani's eyes are really hurt.....
Jai forgiving Pia??? This is not going to happen till the day he is hopelessly in love with Bani and he is thankful for Pia walking out on him on time. I saw him bite this teeth when he stood in front of Pia. Balaji's patented secial effects(the faces becoming red) only proved Jai was all flared up. That kiss was an act for media who was standing by same as when he hugged pushkar. Bani's reaction was that of a normal wife⌠and I am glad to see that. It remained only for a moment coz she had understood what it meant. Pia-Pushkar's eyes were popping out. Jai is over with the feelings he had for Pia, he is not done with Pia. Not as yet. I still say Jai allow them to rot to hell on their own, u just sever ur relationships with them.
All those who watched this episode and all those who have read the updates, kindly share your views and here are my questions for today:
- Do you think that Bani has trampled over Jai's ego and has been utterly insensitive to him and his feelings?
Only this time around, Yes. It didn't matter to me much to see his ego being trashed⌠what really bothered me was Bani going ahead with it despite knowing it will hurt Jai a lot more. I know the argument is going to be so what, Jai does it all the time, Jigyasa does it⌠why not Bani. The point is it Bani's nature to overlook someone's feeling for another person's happiness. I am talking about 3 individuals here and not Bani's Husband, Sister or Friend. Pia-Pushkar had her favour cause she loved them more⌠so be it.
- If the answer to the above is yes, do you think that it was deliberate on part of Bani or was it just circumstances?
It was circumstantial. But that doesn't take away from the fact that it left bani having to make a choice of overlooking Jai's emotions. I still believe this wasn't the best way to solve problems. The Problem here is Jai⌠he has to be solved first. Once he cools down, situation would have cooled down as well.
- Do you think that Bani genuinly wanted to bridge the gap between herself and Jai today, when she goes to his study? Or was it more of a mollifying attempt from her end, because she knows that she has made a truly formidable enemy?
Even if she intended too⌠it was the wrong time. Did she expect Jai to listen to her and say 'he is ok with it'? She knows jai well enough atleast not to expect that from him. My point is if she knew she was making a formidable enemy, why did she go ahead with it? As much we hate it, Jai will go on a rampage and worse he will be the one who will suffer more along with Bani.
- Do you think that Bani really respects Jai, but is no longer scared of him and hence will stand up against him from now onwards, whenever he does anything wrong to her?
U said it, she respects him but is no longer scared of him. My advice to Bani be cautious dear, he will catch u unaware and this time he will make sure he hasn't underestimated ur moves. She should stand up against anything he does wrong, but just wish she handles with care and ensure she doesn't end up flaring the devil in him.
- What do you think Jai meant by, "Ab mein tumhein Shaadi ka sahi matlab bataonga?" Please, no need to be graphic in explanations A general answer would suffice!
I really cant say what he meant, but one think is sure he wont resort to claiming any 'maritial rights' against her wish. Jai cant do that, HE WONT. (I really hope Ekta doesn't spoil Jai's character. If that happens⌠I will disown Jai) I feel th etag of Being Mrs Jai Walia will weigh her down. He will put her in situations (just like Mt Abu Casino project) where she wouldn't have an option but support Jai. The boardroom is going to be the battlefied⌠in all probability he will make her one of the directors of the company.
- What should be expect next week? Another Kutumb in the making...another Ansh-Nandini episode in the making or a truly different take on Jai and Bani's relationship?
Ansh-Nandini episode is OUT. Pratham-Gauri story will look very immature for Jai and Bani. So lets see what is in store for us⌠all I can promise is some brilliant acting from Ram Kapoor and Prachi.
I am done answering ur questions MT. It has been a bad day for Jai-Bani fans without a doubt, we are busy taking up stands for/against Jai and Bani. As far me the only thought that brings a smile on my face is Bani exercising her right over the Walia House. She so confidently went ahead and arranged the wedding in that house, being the lady of the house. Only wish her husband could tolerate this act.
One thing I will clarify⌠I am not against Bani, but against what she did today. Only Today! I support Jai and probably will till he gains his composure but that definetly doesn't mean I approve of anything and everything he does. At the end of the day, I want these two to realize they are meant to be together. Pia and Pushkar were just mere catalyst who came into their lives to get them together else, they weren't even looking at eachother when god had planned to make them fall in LOVE.
Nothing really matters to me more than Jai and Bani leading a happy life together. I am so sure the minute I am going to see Bani looking at Jai with care and concern, I will yelling at Jai for being blind. I cant see the two in distress. And if today I reacted strongly(very 'jai'ish behavior) in Jai's favour and against Bani that was coz they had just grown apart⌠making it impossible for either of them to reconcile.
I am sorry if I offened anyone.
That was long... really LONG
Bye bye
Luv
Anu.
