Another good episode where RK leaves no stone unturned to distance Madhu from himself and push her so far away that she is going to go to any extent to crush any hopes/feelings that RK might have and develop once he realizes that what he feels for her is indeed love. Once again he publicly humiliated her in front of the all staff members at the set which was so uncalled for. Couldn't he have not had this conversation with Madhu in private? Why does he have to publicize her private life when she clearly wants to keep a low profile? Her first encounter with Sultan was accidental and it involved no planning from her end but RK makes it sound as thought it was her well thought out elaborate plan to take revenge on him. If it is anyone it is him who knows what revenge is and how to extract it? So, he should know better that this is no revenge but a mere coincidence. For him to have that rationale, he should be able to think straight and not look at things based on what he conjured up in his mind after taking one look at a pair of stranger's eyes. RK's accusation of Madhu is clearly baseless when he has no proof that it was Madhu who was responsible for the damage to his car.
Madhu/Sultan confrontation was pretty intense and I have to say that I loved it. DD and Avinesh do share a good onscreen chemistry and liked the fact that despite Sultan being a ruthless gangster who had threatened her earlier she could look him in the eye and tell him exactly how she feels about the whole situation. Her making it clear to Sultan that she and RK are no longer in a relationship actually might have opened a door for Sultan to initiate any relationship with Madhu since Aryan seems to have a liking and formed a special bond with Madhu. The little boy who plays Aryan is very cute and I love his chubby cheeks and would love to pinch/kiss his cheeks. DD is very good with kids and I wonder if she is the same with this little boy in the sets.
Sultan did look a little disappointed of what he had put Madhu through despite showing no emotions. He might think through what Madhu had said about him not understanding someones feelings and emotions such a hurt, pain etc and we might get a little insight into what made him to become the man he is today. He seems cold, distant and removed but yet there is some kindness that I noticed in his eyes when Madhu was explaining to him about the taunts and accusations that she was forced to face from RK. Eyes are referred to as the window to the soul and I am intrigued by Sultan and his behavior of wanting to toughen up his son despite him being a kid who should be taught life lessons and responsibilities with love, care and affection and not the way he forces him into doing things. I don't buy into his reason of a lion teaching its cubs to hunt and not eat grass and hence he is being strict when it comes to raising his son. It has to be more to him and he probably has a past that he is scared to look back and hence trying everything in his might to toughen up his son who is handicapped but still does not let that bother him because his father would not approve of his behavior. Aryan loved the fact that Madhu was back at his house and had this big smile to see her. He sees her as his friend and loves her company. There is no doubt that Sultan loves his son but his ways of expressing love is no way close to what Madhu is capable of and I think Aryan/Madhu bond might actually make Sultan jealous and rethink his strategy of how he bonds with his son. His son addresses him by his name and does not call dad and there is no happiness or joy when he sees his dad instead there is only fear and worry to appease him.
I wasn't getting excited about the precap where RK questions to himself about his love for Madhu and Madhu's love for him. I am not going to raise my hopes yet since he is in a drunken state and intoxicated enough to loose his senses to not comprehend what he is talking. For all we know, he might forget his entire blabbering and go on another mission of yelling, screaming and publicly humiliating Madhu if she does not show up to the sets on time or has a conversation with another man the next day. At the moment, the most dominating feeling that he is experiencing his jealousy and that green eyed monster will never let him be in peace sowing all kinds of crazy thoughts about Madhu and the stranger in his mind. He needs to sort out and prioritize his own feelings before he goes branding Madhu and her feelings for a stranger as love. Clearly, he is hurt by the turn of events and Madhu is not giving him the time and clearly not weeping over the heartbreak he had caused her. He just couldn't take her moving on and for a man who admits to his mom that his feeling for Madhu will never change he is too worried about her and her friendship with another man. He should ask himself what is that he wants and needs from Madhu and his subconscious mind is doing the right thing by making him take that step in that direction. If only he could think through when he is sober, it would be of some use to him and make him stop talking trash about Madhu and humiliating her in public. That should be the first step and from there on he could go on analyzing his feelings for her and the events that have transpired between them.
