Rishbala - My take on ep Tuesday, 20th Nov. 2012

RK seemed to be intent on letting Madhu know about Radha and Dipali, and at the same time he did not want to dwell on any of it.

He gave the briefest summary on each point but didn't talk of years of hurt at watching his mother prioritize and believe Kukku over Rishabh, or Dipali jilting him for Sikki and still getting accepted by his mother as bahu.

I felt that yesterday's ep was not - contrary to advance publicity - about making any new revelations about RK's past.😛

Rather, the point was showcasing the extent to which Madhu's reactions have focussed on him.😳

What RK said was gutwrenchingly portrayed by VD, but it was nothing dramatic or melodramatic. But even seeing him *remember* painful memories was visibly agonizing to Madhu.

He is used to doing things for others without thinking it's anything he deserves to be appreciated for. The Bhatia foursome are exceptional at sucking the life out of anyone and thinking it's their right.🤢

But in the case of Madhu, it's going the other way round.😳 She understands the intent and absolute unimportance he gives to his good deeds, and places his pain above all else.

It was an outstanding episode with every one of RK's understatedly hurt words showing their effect in Madhu's fantastically expressive eyes.😳

What RK was saying we already knew, and it was the more effective for his attempt to avoid expounding on the years of effects of any of the betrayals.

DD portrayed that level of exceptional emotive bond exquisitely.

DVD are managing to hit all the right pitches in their characterization portrayal, and the effect is outstanding.😳

great post leela 👏
Wow amazing take on the ep
It was indeed a gud ep , rishbala bond is getting stronger n stronger
They hav started caring abt each other n now they r emotionally attached too
VD n DD were too gud in yesterday ep , loved their performance

Very well put Leela..

I guess i have seen quite a few post wondering if the story is proceeding too fast... They should definitely read your post and understand. The revelations were nothing that the viewers did not know about but the way RK is letting Madhu into his past is just a step ahead in gradual growth of their relationship...

Ofcourse we still know things only from RK's perspective and i guess a proper revelation would be one when the guilty (read Radhaji's) gets a chance to talk about her side of the story...

I guess the entire purpose of the beautiful episode yesterday was for Madhu to get a glimpse to RKs pain and for her realization to the changing dynamics of their relationship...

Nice post, i liked yesterday's episode. Being rk a superstar what is perfectly written about him is that he not break down physically, cry loudly or speak a lot in details. His character sketch is written in way that one should understand his pain from his eyes and body language. Without flowing any tears from eyes he depicted the pain very well. Madhu on other hand want to live and touch his pain. Well said and waiting for today's episode. Thank you for pm.

Nice post
Vivian & drashti were too gud in yesterdays epi
