Saturday, 16th Feb. 2013 (ep.#197) was sixth of the 12 episodes in the MEIEJ CVs reassurance of 'two weeks' after the commencing of the 'twist' track.😕😊
An excellent ep.⭐️
Firstly, Madhu stated with clarity that she and RK did get married *and* lived together as husband and wife, but were now *living apart*.
So legally, they are still securely married.😊
But the series needlessly stuck to its usual habit of muddying the waters by having RK refer to Madhu as his 'ex-wife' while speaking to Dipali.😕
Sincerely hope that is passed off along with his unfortunately misleading previous jibes about the standing and validity of his marriage.
I found myself increasingly reassured in this ep as I have not been in the past few eps that RK is indeed knowingly putting on an act.
But that moment when Madhu flashbacked on RK cherishingly reprimanding her for calling herself ordinary, and then steadily in the present referring to herself as ordinary was deeply hurtful.😭
There are so many things RK will have to do to make this nightmarish mess right - not just the terrible hurt of vicious words that he knowingly dealt out, but also the hurt he may not have considered he was causing, that the countless precious adoring moments they shared have now become as a wound to Madhu's heart.😭
RK is getting more and more vicious with Dipali every time she speaks insultingly about Madhu.😡😊
Earlier, he would simply be openly hostile.
Dipali had probably gotten used to it - the verbal taunts, the "Out!", the openly contemptuous look he would give her.
All the times he told her to stay in her bounds didn't work.
His reminders that she is his bhabhi have always had nonexistent effect.
She uses that relation as a shield in between transgressing that boundary in repugnant fashion.
RK has *finally* starting to treat her not as a bhabhi but simply the woman who betrayed him in a gamble for success and wealth that failed her abominably and left her living off him with every point of her failure at hand.
Today, it felt as if he was finally withdrawing the power that he had left in Dipali's hands - the immunity with which she would intrude her presence and advances on him, taking it for granted that he would either accept her and she would have everything she thinks she deserves, or he would reject the advance but not expose her.
He was finally unmindful of who might see this 'bhabhi' of his in his arms.
This time he was not defensive but on the attack in the smoothest most finessed way.
Now, as each day marks Madhu's absence and Dipali unwittingly salts his wound by mocking at Madhu for being fooled in love, he responds with increasing ruthlessness.
Once when Dipali had told him that Madhu only loved him for his wealth and fame, he had gotten physically violent and pushed and held her against a wall.
But it had been she who was in control and he who had been clearly vulnerable and hurting.
But when she came and commended him for playing and discarding Madhu, he reacted by grabbing her hand with a knowingly painful grip.
And that time, she was cowed at least momentarily, by the fact that he was willing to hurt her even without being emotionally overset, and by the threat that he would be willing to do worse to honour the hate he bears her.
This time, Madhu's gentle visibly loving response seen on TV stoked the fire.
Going by the reasoning that he is deliberately pretending, he may have felt divided against himself by the warmth that after everything Madhu still loved him and was unmindful of letting it be seen, as against desperation of what more he might have done to turn Madhu against him.
The brief jab of pain Madhu caused Dipali at the parlour in retaliation for the taunts and gloating was perhaps as nothing compared to the humiliation RK caused Dipali today.
Dipali has deluded herself for years that she can have RK back.
His telling her to back off never worked.
And he endures Dipali just as he endures Kukku Bhatia - with bitter resignation and contemptuous disgust, because he believes that the day he cannot avoid a decisive confrontation with them, he will be forcing his mother to choose, and he fears that Radha may not choose her son.
This time, he led Dipali on, like a predator.
Letting her believe she had won him back at last, letting her bask in his warm smile, and then letting her see just how easily he could inspire such a foolish hope in her, and finally again reminding her that she was not even remotely in Madhu's league.
And seeing Madhu's, Bittuji's and Radha's reactions throughout today's ep convinced me that RK is most extremely fortunate in the depth to which he is loved by these three people.
Only hoping now the CVs may honour RK's characterization as it was prior to this 'twist' track, and soon give a better reason for his conduct which has wrecked this past week for so many of us viewers.
Each of the three - Madhu and Bittuji even more so than Radha - completely and absolutely prioritize RK to the extent of being unmindful of the effect on others.
We saw that facet in Madhu when she did not permit the fact that she would be taking RK away from his mother for an indeterminate duration to shake her in her intent to leave with RK because he needed it.
We are now seeing that same facet in Bittuji and Radha as well.
Madhu has always struck me as loving RK so absolutely powerfully beyond reason or logic that she may let herself be cut to the heart repeatedly.
But since we are not such grand fictional characters, some reasoning for the torment we have endured in the episodes this week would be greatly appreciated.
Radha was certain to do whatever was needed to bring Madhu back into her son's life.
She tried the direct approach repeatedly and failed to get through to her son.
The reconciliation Madhu engineered has maintained itself. RK has not again turned away from his mother.
But the fear of having her son even unintentionally become cooler to her as the warmth Madhu brought into his life seeps away...
It may be proving a powerful motivator for Radha.
She showed in her happy conversation with Padmini her absolute determination to not lose her son.
And if not even for his happiness or peace of mind, then for no other reason in the world.
And Bittuji's whole world has always revolved around his 'Chief'.
He would arrange any harm to avenge RK. And he would also endure anything, blame and debase himself for his Chief's sake.
Madhu had won Bittuji over by her efforts for RK after the visarjan shot, and by her devotion and love for her husband.
She offered Bittuji something that was priceless to him - a person who loved and understood his Chief even more than he did.
And today finally, the knowledge that her loyalty and concern for RK is still paramount despite everything induced Bittuji to cross his last line, to claim her as sister... though whether he will address her as other than 'bhabhiji' - this girl who is younger to him and is the wife of the man he worships - is a different sort of minefield.
The knowledge that neither RK nor Madhu are happy without each other means that Radha and Bittuji can forge ahead with determined zealous subterfuge to bring them back together.
Which may get an unfortunate reaction from RK if his bitterly executed efforts are thus laid seige to.
Madhu's responses to the press were magnificent. Like her being from a chawl, her marriage too she does not permit anyone to make her feel demeaned by.
Madhu proves in every situation that her dignity raises her to a higher level than anyone that may seek to slight her.
She has only once been shaken, and it was not by RK's insults but by his very convincingly delivered but pointwise very dubious claims of playing her false.
Madhu's scene with her mother and sister seemed a rather strong case of Padmini and Trishna hearing what they want to hear.
Padmini's equating Madhu's advice to her mother with the situation vis-a-vis Madhu herself simply proved that as Madhu fell more and more in love with RK, she has become someone that her parents no longer know or understand fully, and are yet unaware of this - Shamsher perhaps less so than Padmini after his three murder-attempts and the aftermath effect.
Would have expected Padmini to be more wary from the very moment that she saw Madhu's panicked reasoning to Bittuji for why he had to be with RK.
Instead, her maternal desire to have her daughter's every hurt set to rights as quickly as possible may have caused her to deliberately forget what she could not see a way of dealing with.
The precap was dreamy - a visual and emotional pleasure to tide through until the Monday ep, very unlike last Saturday.😳😊
RK in black suit and red shirt, Madhu in white salwar-kurta and red-and-yellow dupatta, and the white gauzy drapes falling over them just as they came face-to-face.
The very latest promo late this night 16th Feb. 2013 (Narrator: "Apni zindagi sey RK ney Madhu ko nikaalaa. Par kya apni yaado sey mitaa paayegaa?") has the tone remaining hopefully ambiguous, pointing out that RK removed Madhu from his life but stating nothing of his motivation in doing so.😕😊
RK's expression is tender and not at all conflicted as he reaches out to a dream vision of Madhu while standing by an open cupboard which seems to contain some of her clothes.😳
It is only when the vision Madhu vanishes that RK draws himself back, visibly pulling himself together.😳
He loves her, yes. But his expressions in this promo indicate that he *knows* it and is at ease in admitting it to himself.😕
RK's expressions in this promo have been the first even remotely clear confirmation of the CVs statements supporting RK and asking us to be patient for everything to sorted.😊
CVs, could you please maintain the hopeful tone of this promo, and give a really good reason for this 'twist' upheaval.😊
Because if it turns out to be ego and fear of vulnerability, it's going to be an absolutely wretchedly non-epic reason. Addicted enough to this show that would swallow even that.
But would be beyond thankful if you do give a reasoning that might make us glad to be wrong in doubting the sense of this 'twist'. Please?😊
