Can anybody tell me ...if by any means, RK wanted Madhu to come to the reality and not to treat him as her husband since he struggles to shove her off. He wants Madhu to do it since he cannot. Even in yesterday's episode, he casually asked her ...if she will stay with him if he says so ...Madhu surprised him even there by assuring that she will be with him. On one side,he seeks assurance and other side, he tries to put sense in her mind to ditch him.

PS: I hope my question makes some sense !!!

Today was a little painful but again this is a part of RK's transformation the same as the Ganesh track was. It is his transformation from RK back to Rishab Kundra who believes in relationships and knows how to have faith in people and God. In every transformation we have to take two step backwards to move a step forward but just as RK ridiculed Madhu for her belief in this marriage today he will appreciate her later. RK cant commit himself to rituals who have been practiced like a fake mockery infront of him for ages. Again he saw his mother practice this ritual for his father's long life. But as soon as his father died Radhaji didnt think twice before marrying another man. He saw Dipali keep it for Sikki but she jumps on RK whenever she gets the oppurtunity. Today RK ridiculed Madhu for fasting and her faith in marriage and relationships but it is her faith that is slowly transforming him. I have only seen half the episode so this in a way is my half take in between classes im catching the episode online lol.

abs loved the epi...👏

I found it very interesting that in order to dissuade Madhu, he today used the arguments he himself has discarded in front of her- I didn't put the mangalsutra on you properly, this marriage only has four pheras etc etc. He has told DiPutz repeatedly that the number of pheras, the rituals do not matter to him in any way, as the relationship is based on belief- he think Madhu as his wife, and so she is (I'm also assuming the marriage is legal, not just ritualistic...darn soaps can never make that clear).

But again, RK is in disbelief for two reasons: 1) Madhu is putting her health in deliberate jeapordy- which is far cry from giving blood and walking barefoot to Siddhivinayak and 2) She is beginning to consider him her husband despite the lack of rituals from her side. He's also confused because it's a clash in his head: If KC is all about traditions and not belief/truth, and Madhu to his knowledge believes wholeheartedly in traditions, then rationally, she should not be doing KC because according to their marriage, he is not her husband- she did not complete her pheras. Yet she is doing the ritual. RK is having a very hard time reconciling that with what he thinks should be happening. He prides himself on reading people, and he is good at it. Yet, somehow, he sees but does not see Madhu, understands her, but not fully. And that's driving him nuts.

Also, poor Madhu- her total belief in RK is heartbreaking and again, scary. I would say it's akin to her faith in Bappa: he won't let her down, no matter what anyone says. In Madhu's eyes, damn the world (especially Radunce and Diputz, curse their presence on my screen!), RK is her husband, and he will never dissapoint her. I hope she is right. Otherwise, I don't know if she will ever recover from the breaking.

RK- this is the time to do what me and my fellow SBCC clubs members have been saying: Less Bhasham, more action. Get to it hero!

Today's episode was on expected lines.

Rishbala - Yes, RK was angry, violently angry, but the way he said 'Tumne mere liye vrat rakha', he emphasised 'mere', somehow caught my attention. It was a genuine shock for him when he realised she was fasting for 'him', why...incomplete marriage ceremony, thrown on mangalsutra, it was almost he was reminding himself. Therefore, the validation he thought he got about the hollowness of the festival, proved once again by madhu.

Seconds before this outburst, he is angry with her for not drinking the juice, but tells her ever so gently not to clean it because the glass will hurt her. It is a bizarre dichotomy..total love and concern for her yet, for all his bluster, fear of commitment for fear of rejection.
I also loved the way he announced pack up after the girl on his sets faints...because he realises it is a losing battle, he also simultaneously realises it about Madhubala. I wish they showed some parts of his introspection, there was hardly any flashbacks today, was it to maintain the suspense? Or that is just who he is, RK, unfathomable, unpredictable.

MB- Since we have been emotionally manipulated throughout this week with MB's happy state of mind, naturally it was heart breaking to have her stand there and listen to Rk and then again face the music from her darling Maa. But she does manage to tell her she has kept the fast for her husband, stops short of saying, it was not to impress her!

So this is like the choking episode on another friday a few days ago, all of us guessed he was faking it, but there was that sliver of doubt, what if!! It's the same suspense...we know he'll come and break her fast, but what if!!

Song for today, dedicated to MB; once again the theme being intezaar, because that is what will have to do till monday.

Aaja ve mahi tera rasta ho dekhdiya
dar se hatti nahin nazar
aaja aaja dil ki pukar par aaja
der karna teri aadat thi sahi
der se hi sahi magar
aaja aaja ve mahi tera rasta ho dekhdiyan
