Good scenes today but the undercurrents made me feel a little uneasy. RK's desire to leave the film industry is still a driving force in his push to resolve all his situations- and that is a problem. Why did he want to do it in the first place? Because Dips challenged him- but Madhu overcame the challenge. So why the need to leave the industry still? Because Madhu matters more to him than anything else at this point. He even admits that even before he had feelings for her, even before feelings had time to form- he was almost...addicted to her presence- her eyes had reeled him in.

This junoon of RK's is less about leaving the industry and more about leaving everyone behind- he wants Madhu for himself, always. And I wonder if Madhu realizes it-the obsession RK has with her, the extent of his feelings of possesion. I think she thinks that RK is leaving the industry, and when it dawns on her that leaving means leaving- all family, its going to be an interesting time. We know that in a pinch she will always choose RK- but when the situation is enginnered by RK himself? What then?

And this will get worse when she enters the film industry- because the RK who is having trouble sharing his wife with his and her family will have to share her with the world. The only way to reconcile that with his passion? Make her his extension-Madhubala will not be herself, but will be RK's wife. A subtle difference, but a powerful one I feel.

Second part- I don't know how sincere his interactions with the others are- how much of it is genuine feeling vs "i have to do this for Madhu." The way he so easily closed the deal that would have given Trishna her break makes me think its more the latter than the former. And again, that has negative long term reprecussions.

It's all well and good and I do hope he has sincere relations with Padmini and Malik. I think to an extent he does. But I also think in the end RK is RK. And for RK, it has been and always will be Madhu.

Wonder what he'll do to her to make her think the same way.

I do not think that she has any inkling of the extent of his junoon and his feelings of possession for her. And I do not blame her on this. She is a 22 year old girl, pampered by her mother and her foster father. And one fine day, her destiny is inter-wined with this eccentric superstar, who becomes her husband and she eventually ends up falling crazily in love with him. She is lost in her thoughts of having a blissful married life after running away with her husband, without once giving a thought as to what might have driven him to take such an extreme step. She is too much in love to give all these things a thought from a logical perspective. I wonder, not even once the thought crossed her mind as to how will her superstar, super demanding and domineering husband be able to live without his stardom?

And yes, we all know the driving force behind all this RK leaving industry madness is Deepali's challenge. As Shri mentioned, he has to get over Deepali if he really wants to leave everything behind and run away with madhu. He will never be completely happy, even though with Madhu until he throws this Deepali baggage off.

@AA - I was also wondering on the lines of why he wants to leave the industry? He has it all. Doesn't he? True love was the only thing that was lacking in his life and he had found that too in Madhu. So what is the rush? My guess is him wanting to leave the film industry is got to do with his dad's death.. Again, that would be an interesting track to know under what circumstances MK was forced to take his own life leaving RK, his apple of his eye behind. What was Radha's so called majboori which made her to take a plunge in her marriage to Kukku?

My other thought was that he quits the show biz in a rush only to find out that he cannot live without his comforts and luxuries and tries to go back only to be shown the doors. I am thinking that he breaks all contracts with the producers and they decide to take legal action on him and he pays them all out and goes bankrupt only to be saved by Madhu who against his wish enters the film industry. You see my imagination is running wild and I better stop now 😆

@kt25: tht would be worst. I don't think I will ever be able to see a weak and dejected RK. 😭 😭 I would much rather prefer him going back to his old antiques.

about him leaving the industry, you made an interesting point that it might be connected to his dad's death. But, does that mean he always had it in his mind to quit the industry at certain point of time?? If that is so, how much impact did Deepali's challenge actually have on him??

@RKLover - Uh-Oh!! Sorry my post made you feel sad. You see, I rarely conjure up stories like this since I am a sucker for happy endings but once in a while I tend to surprise myself with my overactive imagination 😆

@kt25: Way to go with your imagination. 👍🏼

@RKLover - We saw him standing outside an old unused studio in pouring down rain and was reminiscing about his time and conversations he had with his dad right after he had hurt Madhu in front of Malik by revealing their sham marriage to him. That was what made me think that him wanting to leave the industry might have something to do with his dad's death but I am not going to bank on that alone because Dipali's challenge has taken a priority in his mind and all he could think of every moment is to prove her wrong. But if you ask me it is just plain stupidity, to leave all his hard earned name, fame, stardom, status and money simply to prove her wrong when he knows Madhu inside out and that she would never betray him. Why does it matter what Dips thinks about him or Madhu? If he cannot stand to see her then he has an option to ask her and Sikky to leave to a different house as I am pretty sure he has several mansions/farm houses and they could stay in one of those. Sikky would be glad to be all alone with Dips and would jump right on the first opportunity he gets to be alone with his wife 😆

I remember. It is the sitara studio. I must say, the CVs have played their cards really well from the beginning. They mystery surrounding MKs death, the studio everything would be revealed some day(though I think this track would come much later).

@bold: I agree. I have lost count of how many times I have said this, but I still find it hard to digest that Deepali's words still have so much effect on him. Get over her boy. Please. It is very very unpleasant for us viewers to see a shrewd, intelligent man like you tongue tied in front of her challenge.

Time to let go !

Seems that's the theme of the episode today. Seems that's the theme of the 5th Anniversary Party being hosted by RK at Nataraj Studios Venue. All have assembled there except, the Kuku/Sikky duo and Trishna/Roma.

Personally I felt RK less affected by his mother's presence on the set than him seeing Dipali at the set. So yes, there is still this demon that needs to squashed by him. Will RK be successful in doing that tomorrow ? He needs to if he really wants to close, mend, and fix things before leaving everything and going away with Madhu.

Strangely the "Let's fix our families/hurts before we fix ourselves" though continuing, seems will hit a roadblock by forces that RK might not have reckoned.

@Priya,

Does any one think that mysterious letter could be Dipali's Dear John letter to RK...even though the paper it is written on looks newly minted?!

I dread to see what will become of Madhu once she and RK retire from all this aaish aur araam ki jindagi...already she's a cook and serve wife with no time for romance. I could have slapped her left and right for totally dismissing RK's words about how he felt when he first met her...that was a Dhak Dhak moment that she totally destroyed.

Imagine her in a small house/hut/tent whatever..cooking and cleaning the whole day...poor RK, he doesn't know what he's getting into...no time for romance...guaranteed.

Loved Ballu's dialogues but couldn't digest his capitulation when both RK and Bittuji ordered him about and practically threw him out.

Someone, please assure me that it's all an act on Ballu's part and that he's actually seething with uncontrollable anger inside.

As for the precap...I hope he hasn't seen Padmini...only Shamsher...then the track will be over even before it began.

Btw, how on earth can Padmini be legitimately be married to Shamsher if she isn't divorced?
