'I am What You Have Made Me'

----- If only Radhaji had not visited Madhu and instilled this belief in her that it was not she who was at a loss by this break-up but her own son RK...We would have missed this... Oh!!! What a solace it is to see three women, one a mother, a mother-in-law and third one both a daughter and DIL sharing such affinity for each other...simply loved this emotional interaction and the moment between Padmini, Radhaji and Madhu...Madhu's own MIL encouraging her to fightback and prove her own son wrong...A treat to watch women bonding without the usual "kitchen politics" or "malicious" or the "scheming" saas-bahu drama...It's Radhaji's encouraging words and also the life-like poster of RK are enough to spur Madhu into resolving that she won't turn tails and go in hibernation...

----- If only anything and everything did not keep reminding RK of Madhu...then he would not have been a restless soul that Madhu has turned him into...It's not because of everything there belongs to Madhu, it's because it's RK's subconscious that is associated everything and anything his eyes fall upon to that of Madhu...Somehow RK's love for Madhu is more laden with his obsession for her and Neruda's line perfectly describe this : "I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul." (Pablo Neruda)

----- If only Madhu had kept on to her earlier decision of not working with RK and not returned...At least she wouldn't have riled and upset the super suave and cool RK's shoot...It was interesting to see how Madhu just by her mere presence seemed to get under his skin...Madhu maintaining an aloof stance and going about her job unperturbed was something that really appealed to me...

----- If only you had kept Madhu quiet like always and not given her such strong lines and see what happened...Drashti completely stole the show...The confrontation between Madhu and RK calls for a round of applause...I simply love this fiery and defiant Madhubala, saying to RK, "I am what you have made me"...What do I say about Drashti, let me just quote "Caeser's" words with slight rephrasal : "She came, She spoke and She conquered"...yup, with the best lines as add ons, she simply took over the center stage...that does not discount her covert acting, especially her eyes speaking volumes, her overt behavior conveying the nuances...the one I would make special mention of, is the one on the sets, when Madhu gives it back to RK with a straight face, but the moment his back is turned, lets out her breath...as if holding her actual emotions in check with difficulty...

----- As for the challenge she throws up to RK..."I shall revenge myself in the cruelest way you can imagine. I shall forget it." (John Steinbeck)...

----- MB team, thank for consistently churning up episodes that are equally entertaining, consistent with the story/track, in sync with the characters and yes thought provoking...

----- Raghuvir Shekhawat, thank you for giving Drashti such amazing lines and yes, the entire female characters...and of course RK too...

----- Vivian, you did a wonderful job, yup cannot envision anyone else but you as RK now...

---- Drashti, only one word for you "Wow" simply "Wow"...
