The Beast Palace : So, the beauty punched the beast
We all need something to hold on to , something to hold us together, something to fall back on, something to nurture us , take care of us, counsel us ' faith , family , soulmate, best friend , our own inner soul. And when you have led a fragmented tattered life ' you are like an insane person running through streets . You become harder, harsher , heartless, soulless , and both you and your life become increasingly intolerable as life goes by. Why? Because there is nobody who has got your back ' nobody has nurtured you or nourished you and you are someone who has been thrown in a bottomless pit where when you scream for help, everyone feels a mad lion is roaring.
Keeping that much in mind , look at Rishabh. He is heartless, soulless , hollow with no anchor and yet there is someone inside him who is crying out for help. Somebody Maddy took by horns and slapped across the face. An unknown but bitter past , an empty present and an uncertain self 'destructive suicidal future. Maddy is right. Rishabh's life starts from Rishabh and ends with Rishabh and in between there is a stardom whose arch lights keep him away from the darkness inside him, there is a megalomaniac aura and self-obsession that covers up his need and hunger to be loved and embraced, there are slaves who lend him power that makes him believe that he has at least something in control, there is a beautiful house full of beautiful things that have taken over the need for a human presence and then, there is a wife ' Madhubala Rishabh Kundra.
Rishabh lives in his megalomaniac world where Maddy is a slave bought in 40 lakhs. But the man inside him wants to own and possess Maddy as a part of his own being. Maddy has become the center of his universe, the punching bag for all his pent up anger , the sponge to absorb all that he fought , lost and hid in 29 years of his life. In short, Maddy is now his other half whom he can bounce off on. A man who had an empty life till now suddenly has someone on whom he can crash , vomit, shower , throw , empty all that he has bottled up for 29 years. Suddenly, his life has a reason , has a direction , has someone human of flesh and blood instead of greasepaint , screenplays, cameras, lights and fame.
Hence , his obsession with his wife. His only connect to humanity and emotions, no matter how dark, twisted and complicated ' is Madhubala. Now, he is showing first signs of a normal human 'being ' who is soft on Maddy in those unconscious moments, whose eyes follow her everywhere without malice , whom he wants in front of him 24 x 7 , who evokes anger and insecurity in him, and above all, someone he is scared of losing.
Scared of losing. Rishabh Kundra. Surprised? Lol- get someone in your life and invest everything in them ' you will get a faint idea of what am trying to say. He disconnected Maddy from her family because he wants himself to be her center of universe and his only connect to emotions. He went raging to the hospital and brought her back without caring for anyone else because he cannot live with the thought now that Maddy can ever put anyone ahead of him, even if that person is her own father. All that insecurity , possessive ownership, the jab of being rejected by her for her father turned into anger that resulted in arm-twisting , screaming, bashing of saasu-maa and the kitchen politics he did with saasumaa and Trishna.
And Maddy? Maddy doesn't hate Rishabh and I know nobody agrees with me on that. She is not on some opaque hatred tablet ' if you see today's episode, she tries to talk to him, tries to reason with him, tries to explain things to him, surrenders to her commitment ' its only when she sees that no logic works on Rishabh , she flies off the handle and punches him where it hurts the most. That is why I call her the nurturer and someone who can save Rishabh and herself from Rishabh.
Whatever Maddy told Rishabh today in the house, he needed to hear that and maybe more. If you don't slap him ( not the kind that she delivered to him a few weeks ago) , if you don't poke his raw nerves , if you don't break down his walls, how will you ever know who he really is. If he is that bad , you have to know why he is so bad or else how is Maddy going to spend her life with him? By serving coffee , slapping him and getting her arm twisted?
Of the two, Maddy is the savior. The only hope for Rishabh and this marriage is Maddy. Rishabh is a hopeless damage who is separated from his own self. Remember the building blocks that we used to play as kids? The blocks could never make a tower on their own ' we had to make something out of it. Similarly, Maddy has to put Rishabh back together but that would also mean putting herself on fire.
Maddy has touched a very raw nerve , perhaps his most sensitive spot but Rishbah totally invited it. Rishabh ne to sirf haath modaa tha, Maddy ne to use dhoke taar pe sookhna daal diya. 2 baatein sunnke Rishabh jaa to rahaa tha , lekin Maddy kaun si kum hai? Uske peechhe peechhe jaake, ' tum jaanwar ho' ka dialogue bhi chipkaa diya. Abb kal to ladkaa bhadak gayaa, to kya mansion mein pakdam-pakdaayi khelegi uske saath?
As for the rest of the episode , Rishabh has done a Ekta Kapoor ki vamp waala kaam by maaroing a sixer on Paddy and Trishkoo's 'sauteli' kahaani, Maddy and Shamshu were sensitive like always and I loved Bittu G's " Madhu Bhabhi, kahaan jaa rahi hain aap?"
Lastly, Rishabh's dialogue to Maddy sums it all for the cause of his irrational insensitive behavior ' " Aur tumne meraa saath chhod diya." Strange. A line like that coming from a villain like Rishabh for a woman whom he 'apparently' detests.
Love and luck always to all,❤️
GOD bless everyone.🤗
