I took the scene where Radhaji was in Madhu's room differently. Sometimes the dialogue in Hindi drama's is a bit much for me but as far as the intent behind the scene I get it. Radhaji hopes that Madhu will be the one to change RK, to make him realize that he does have a heart, she herself said as much. RK told her that she's not to say anything about his dad to Madhu so Radhaji needs to encourage Madhu in some way. I think that the intent is to make Madhu realize that there is more to the man, he isn't entirely evil as he wants everyone to believe and if she can get Madhu to see that then maybe they'll have a chance. We as the audience are getting glimpses into what has made RK into man he's become but Madhu doesn't know that, she's just being given little snippets of the whole story, she needs to put the pieces together herself.
When Bittuji brought up the money in the account Madhu was sure that he wouldn't actually do what Bittuji was threatening, I'd like to think that while she knew it would go against RK's instincts as far as the game was concerned, part of her was thinking back on what Radhaji was saying, notice her surprise when he calls Karthik? (Which by the way I refuse to believe he actually did, I'm going to live in denial and say that he was just pretending to make the phone call).
My most favourite scene of the whole night was when she comes down the stairs and RK is walking towards her. It seemed so... real.. like for whatever reason both of them actually forgot about the game and were two people who were sincerely captivated by each other. While it didn't seem entirely authentic in keeping with how strongly Madhu dislikes RK, I'm okay suspending belief and watching in ignorant bliss lol
As far as the humiliation, I chalk that up to this being a Hindi drama. Do I get it? Nope, but I'm also not from India, I've only been there a handful of times so I can't say if this attitude is part of the norm, but again this is a work of fiction, I go with it because there are some things necessary to move the story along. I also don't think it was something he planned to do. The thing with RK is, every time he has anything resembling a real human moment with Madhu or feels anything stirring in that place where his heart should be, he lashes out. I think it was impulsive on his part.
I know perhaps I haven't made a lot of sense here (sometimes I tend to ramble... thus why I'm not big on message boards) and perhaps I'm just seeing this completely differently, but I mean after the week I've had I just want a fun show I can escape into and I find that finally this show is getting to the point where I actually sincerely enjoy watching it. It's the only Hindi drama I'm keeping up with now that the fall season is starting.
