Alright, going step by step: 1) Go Madhu! Grab Diputz's arm! Next step, twist- and if you do that to her neck as well I'd be eternally grateful😆. Okay all kidding aside- I love the whole Madhu growing with regards to handling Diputz. Whatever happens between RIshbala I hope this aspect does not dissapear- Madhu should either always have the upper hand, or be on an even keel- that is what makes their interactions fun. Her standing silent, tears in her eyes while Diputz gloats is not something I want to see again. So here's hoping. 2) Trishna continued to show biodad's characterisitcs today with abomb- it's all about her- I noticed the telling hint among her rants: Madhu got a husband, and what a husband- superstar RK! So that whole "RK is just doing to get revenge on you" was mostly an attack on Madhu's weakness- not that I had any doubts about that- but good to know that it was not just about the heroine dream that Madhu "snatched" away. The guy is also part of the package. That said, I do not think Trishna will have anything to do with Balraj or his entry. We should remember that she is incredibly scared of him and for a good reason- he will have no cause to spare her if he realizes who Trishna is- before Padmini ran he was trying to indirectly kill her several times, so, no, I don't think Trishna is so far gone. I also liked the Malik/Padmini interactions- the hand on the shoulder, and the nonverbal communication between them was great- showed how they understood each other, even though they had no formal relationship.
Now, on to Madhu/RK: I want to make one thing clear- I honestly don't think anything RK said today was an act or a deliberate manipulation to get a reaction out of Madhu. He was not happy about any of his confession- infact he looked like he was being dragged to the gallows, not confessing to his lady love. Poor Madhu! What a complex man you have chosen to love!
Another thing: No matter what happens ahead, and no matter even if RK is dissapointed- he is now aware of the strength of the bond between him and Madhu. He even articulates it clearly- even when they are far from each other, they can sense each other, even when Madhu does things to defy him, she always places his wellbeing above everything else. He's aware of the currents between them and what they mean. Whether in his mind, she loves RK or Rishab, he cannot deny that Madhu loves her husband. Now, the question is what does she love more: his trappings? Or him? We know that Madhu does not give a fig for RK's superstar status. RK has to find out and whatever misunderstandings happen, he cannot let Madhu go.
Remember what he said yesterday? I will not lose this time. In that sentence, where is Madhu's choice to love him or not? She has none. He wanted to prepare for her arrival, set his trap so to speak, but she prempted that- Bittuji did not call him and say "Yo, Chief! Bhabiji is coming!" RK sensed her. And more importantly, he realized that she sensed him. Whatever the connection between them, whatever the misunderstandings, he's going to keep her in front of him. He can't do anything else.
From Madhu's side, it was so evident how much RK has a sway over her, and how uncertain she is of her place in his life. Again and again she told him "It's all just a joke to you- you hurt me again and again, and you laugh at my pain." Lets remember that it was not so long ago that he was tormenting her regularly, and however much she loves him and understands him, those scars don't just go away. Indeed, seeing her today, we see how aware she is of what type of person he can be, and how afraid she is that its still just a game to him. I stand in awe of Madhu's strength. Today we saw all her doubts, all her uncertainties. And today we saw that she chose to love him anyway. She chose to fall for RK all the way, anyway. It's unhealthy. It's sad for her because he has the emotional maturity of a toddler. But its there. And its the strongest bond she will ever have- the source of her greatest torment, and the source of her greatest happiness.
So, in short? RK and Madhu: always together, always in each other's thoughts- whatever else happens in the near-term, atleast we can take comfort in that. In the end, all they will ever want is each other. And that's the way it should be.
Also, kudoes to RK for a truely unique confession!😊
