I am almost 90% sure that this is all a plan by our Bella rani to find out about Juhi's true motives. She had those very suspicious expressions while Juhi was asking for the crown and then when she said are you mad that you are asking such questions? She used a very sarcastic tone to say those lines. The viewers were well aware that Juhi is gonna become the nest Naagrani. It was clear from the promo itself, they why the tone? Why those narrow eyes after the flashback scene? It was not like that kept Bella's decision to hand over the crown a suspense. But still the director kept a suspense element open.
I think this is the suspense. She is doing all of this to find what this Juhi wants. Come on she is a Naagrani, and a smart one at that. She is not as bewafoof as Vyom thinks she is. Maybe she did get carried away initially but then Juhi's behavior in yesterday's episode was so off. Juhi in flashbacks was not so selfish nor was she so power hungry. Also one thing struck me as really odd. While Juhi was telling her sob story of being in captivity, she said she was constantly, each and everyday afraid that, that would be her last day. And then she said that she had a lot of time to think about what her responsibilities were as a Sheeh Naag wansh member and the next in line for the throne.
How can a girl who was in captivity, who did not know whether she would be alive the next day or not, even think about her future. let alone responsibilities and all? When someone doesn't know whether they would alive the next day or dead, how can they even fathom a future that is so bright and happy? That was dead give away.
And also the expressions in precap. Bella had those same deadpan expressions which she had given during 'Main aapne jeevan ke Ravan ka ant karoongi' dialogue. That makes me suspicious that our darling Naaagrani is up to something, something big. And somehow Mahir is also involved in it. Otherwise why would he land up there? It's not like its a regular place where Bella can go when she is missing? Then why is Mahir in the Haveli? And most importantly, the scene where he kisses her tears away felt incomplete to me somehow. Like there was something that was not shown to us or something was missing from that scene.
Let's see what happens next. But hopefully they will not dumb down Bella just for her Naagin truth to come out. Because Juhi was not behaving in a normal manner was very obviously shown, so there were plenty of chances for Bella to understand that something was not quite right with her sister.
What do you all think???
