"telly tadka's" review of the episode: "The Anguish of a Scarred Soul"

Try to read the entire article, it is done beautifully.

Today's episode was very emotional and it showed us the vulnerable side of RK. Prior to today's episode, I always felt that RK is a man of mystery who hid his softer, more caring and understanding side under his tough exterior. He might appear to be all business, but inside that tough exterior he hurts sometimes too. His confession to Madhu was truly heartrending to her and as a viewer I could empathize with him and completely understand his plight and see him why he is the way he is. I felt that he truly deserved someone to be just there for him not necessarily under the pretext of healing all his wounds but just being there for him to lean on when he is emotionally broken. Both VD and DD were stupendous in their performance today. RK's confession to Madhu by the lake was perfect and well executed by the CVs. It could not have been any better. He was distraught with painful memories of his past and was so overcome with grief that he did not even pay attention to all her advances of trying to comfort and soothe him by reaching out to him. Madhu should feel proud that she is not married to a man who calls himself a beast instead the man standing infront of her is the most senstive person that she would ever come across who values her happiness and does not want to see her in pain or emotionally broken.

I really felt terrible for RK when he kept going about how many times he had been hurt deeply to his soul by his own loved ones and everytime he was hoping that someone would miraculously show up to play doctor and be there for good to heal all his wounds. At that moment, I felt like reaching out to him and telling him that things will get better as Madhu is there by your side and she is someone who will be selfless and caring enough to keep you from getting wounds and if you do get wounded during the process of knowing her she will be there to heal all of them. The constant hurt and pain inflicted by the ones he trusted the most that included his dad breaking his promise to leave him all by himself and committing suicide, his mom who then became his focal point in life deserting him to be someone else's wife and his lover Diplai whom he trusted enough to assume to be the healer of all of the above wounds gave him the worst wound of all by showing him his place in her life and chose a safe and secure future with Sikki as opposed to standing up for love and being there with a struggling artist like him. Those constant attacks left him feeling increasingly vulnerable and insecure. Hence his admittance today was heartbreaking when he said that to the entire world he is the one and only the superstar RK but atcually he is the one and only perosn who can still survive after being so deeply hurt to his soul and carry on as though nothing ever happened. His pain was clearly etched on his face and he was not trying to hide it from Madhu this time and we could see the reflection of his pain in her eyes when she was reliving his past through his eyes.

It is cleary evident from his past that he had a heart that trusted too much and forgave too easy only to be inflicted with more pain and suffering. Life has taught him tough lessons and the people around him who he thought as loved ones and kept near and dear to him have played a devastatingly bad role of turning him into a ruthless person. RK bared his heart and soul to Madhu today and this should make her realize that he was not this way always but circumstances and people around him have forced him into being the person he is today and she should feel that she has a special place in his life for him to open up about his guarded memories from his past. When she kept insisting him that he is not answering her question he went on to say that he does not want her to become like him who has lost his soul and feel shattered and emotionally broken due to a loved ones betrayal. He saw the shock, pain and embarassment in her eyes when the locket was shown to her and at that time he made up his mind not to reveal her anything that would cause her pain and emotional distress. He goes on to say that he would not wish that for his worst enemy and how could he wish that to her? That was an Aawww moment for me. How sweet of him to think of her and put her feelings above all else. His admission to Madhu about Malik's third attack did surprise her a bit but not a whole lot as I had suspected. Madhu actually was taken back to find out that inspite of three different attacks on his life all he could think was to keep her from the hurt and pain that she might be exposed to when the truth came out. There was pride in her eyes that she was married to a guy like him, respect for what he had done to her by standing up for her, admiration for his ability to find out that she cannot go behind his back. All of the above factors is cumulatively going to make her realize her love for him as she has already started falling for him regardless of his complicated dark persona and hence ultimately we could see love shining in her eyes. It makes perfect sense for the CVs to show her ILU confession to RK in her dream. I am glad that it is only a dream as RK still doesn't look like he is ready to take that leap of faith when it comes to love with Madhu after being burnt so badly by Dips in the name of love.

To me it seemed like RK's response answered several of her burning questions which she wanted to ask him but could not ask. She was only looking for a response to her question about Malik but RK actually gave her more than what she had expected. She has always been open and honest with him. He just feels so attached to her and knows he can always trust her. She has always accepted him for simply being him. In spite of all his flaws, of all his faults, she has stood by him and pulled him out from the jaws of death by giving him blood and praying for his life. She was there for him when he had least expected her to be there for him. RK understood what she was feeling because he had experienced it himself and can put himself in her shoes.

Precap was perfect where both were looking into each other's eyes and tujh mein Rab dikhta hai song was playing in the BG. Perfect song choice for both of them because they both are looking at their true character for what they really are and not what they had assumed of each other (nafrat ke deewane) when they had gotten into this contractual marriage.

OK rewatched the epi and a small take ..

BIG time disappointed in mads expressions esp when she heard Malik trying to kill Hotty a thrid time. No shock? Nothing..

She just looked as if ... I don't know how to put it nicely.

I thought that would be the turning point when she comes to know of the thrid attempt. I mean it's disgusting someone comes to Puja with evil intentions in their mind.

And Mads still was demanding "Mere sawal ka jawab do" 😕

Like really Mads?

Also disappointed that cv's didn't show much about Dips and RK. I for one would have loved to see( only if Hotty is not touchy touchy with the witch) how hard RK had fallen for Dips and how dips dumped him.

Then I would be able to relate better to his pain and why he feels disgusted with Dips.

I just feel RK's revealing of past has been rushed.
