ok, I knew I loved the new gangster when he entered and now he's proven his credibility over these last two episodes. The man gives dutta real competition as a gangster, in fact his dialogues are better, absolutely terrific ''maut se vo dare jisse jeenai ka saleeka na aya''…
ok. So jagpat turns and initially tells tasha to follow them ONLY because of nakusha. nakku's call to him 'daada' followed by that brief interaction between tasha where dutta says 'beech mein mat bol' and nakku lowering her head immediately speaks volumes to jagpat. that is enough for him to draw some sort of conclusion about the couple, and how he can help them. When he looks back at nakku its as if he is SEEING HER clearly, and more then that he is empathizing with her. So this is never a simple case of him helping them out of the jungle, he is doing much more. his words constantly have some symbolism etched in them. a fave bit of mine was when he says ''bohot gehra rishta lagta hai, patni hai teri? batak gaye?" I know the batak gaye on the surface was referring to being lost in the jungle, but I think it also perfectly described dutta as patti…he's stepped off from the path of being a husband to nakku and embracing his love for her. Again when jagpat says ''challe ga to bache ga, rukke ga toh batke ga" …this is not jagpat talking about duttas survival from the jungle, how does he know whether dutta is capable or not of making it out alive? Why say ''bache ga''?.... again this seems to be talking about the tasha relationship that marriage bond…and in the long run it is also referring to dutta being saved from himself. His future regret and turmoil.
In today's episode we again saw jagpat behaving kind of fatherly towards nakku. He refers to her as beti, advises her on declaring her name in full ''nakusha dutta patil'' and basically attempts to converse with her as a person. More than this, when he overhears dutta say to nakku angrily 'ab bi isse ke peeche jaana hai'….he immediately attempts to stop this by appealing to duttas ego …he says he wants to be able to tell people that DUTTA entered his house (yeah ok I do not believe this for a second). All the way through he's been sweet and somewhat protective towards nakku but mocking (in a funny way) of dutta. Duttas inflated ego, his power self importance means nothing to jagpat. The other lovely thing is that he has repeatedly emphasized that Nakku IS dutta's patni. If dutta did not know this at the start, he defo does now. Deny all you want but the married status isn't so easy to be rid off.
Anyway im dying of curiosity to see where jagpat will take us, what is intentions are, his past and his future in ltl. Hope he's here to stay. We can get rid of ganpat and keep his as a protective figure for nakku! feel free to add any symbolism i may have missed off and if u disagree 😊
