Awesome post.
That's one thing about the makers of this show, they refuse to go down the dragging route, they move along the tracks quickly, turning RK from a beast to human that audience can accept compassionate Madhu to be with him then this twist to switch him back into a beast...unlike other serials, other serials once they turn the arrogant male lead into being good they stick to it, here the makers have fearlessly switched him back, to make it exciting for us, I would recommend you watch those 3 episodes you've missed because if you've watched the previous episodes the character RK was fantastic when he is in this mode. I think what they are doing is bucking the trend right it's great TV, entertaining.
However, he is not unchanged he loves her, even if he is in denial about that love, the revenge element is still there here, in the intimate scenes we noticed his body language and his eyes in the beginning were just observing Madhu's reactions, he may have set out to do this revenge, but Mahdu has changed him his ego however won't let him admit he has been changed and loves her. These upcoming episodes he will realise this.
Also perhaps he is shooting a film Kaynaat all along as part of his revenge, the house was rigged with camera's, that will also be revealed if it's true or not.
Madhu is not weak, she is strong, she started this when she Madhu had she not fought RK to begin with and just accepted the money with Mukund none of this would have happened, and in the past whenever he did anything this huge she has retaliated, when he ruined her reputation and her mother's reputation and beat up Malik, she went and slapped him 4 times, during Ganpati festival when he took out the lights and told her to cook the kheer on her anger, she confronted him in front of everybody and revealed that he stopped the lamp extinguishing plus the bill of the kebabs was for vegetarian kebabs and not meat what he was saying. So this couple are a fighting couple, now they've had a fight and RK has won this round, but Madhu will bounce back from this and retaliate and the fighting will continue. I think the writers are actually trying to show women almost equal in brains at least to men, with their actions Padmini issue she was bullied but she fought back, her daughter is the same. So do watch those episodes you've missed it an exciting fantastic serial. 😳😆
