Yesterday's episode took me through a gamut of emotions but provoked only one kind of feeling, 'Disappointment'
As much as I loved how beautifully they are taking the romantic story arc forward,
I felt the makers are digressing from the core storyline.
As far as I know, naagin 5 is a love-revenge saga. It kick started on the classic background of, 'Hero, heroine and Villain'.
Take 1: The Villain, 'Aakesh' killed the hero, 'Hriday' and so the 'heroine' took revenge by killing the, 'Villain'.
Take 2: All the three are reincarnated. The Heroine wanted to reunite with her soulmate, 'Hriday'. But destiny played its foul play and she ended up being, 'Aakesh' consort.
Now, it was completely fair till the time, Bani was planning with jay to INSTIGATE Veer. She wanted an open battle with him and complete her so called alleged revenge.
But what they have started from yesterday isn't revenge anymore. Its out n out betrayal. Bani always claimed that she wants to fight with veer saamne se! She was always of the principal, 'I would never attack Veeranshu in a back-stabbing way', it would always be on his face! What happened to her ethics yesterday then?
She was literally planning to kill veer by treachery! She was only supposed to set up the fight! Fighting it or not, is as much Veer's choice as hers!
Yesterday she came across as a evil woman who was scheming with her ex-lover to kill her husband in the worst way possible.
If she's so desperate to kill him, why not just reveal her naagin form and fight the ultimate battle, right then n there! He had anyways shown his true form to her!
Another thing, Veer falling in love with her, isn't her fault, I get that. But now when she can see, how much deeply he has started to fall for her, agreeing to jay's plan itself was a huge mistake from her side! I had expected her to say that laying a trap to INSTIGATE veer and Laying a trap to kill him are two extremely different things!
How is trapping someone to walk into land-mines be seemingly ethical? Bani is outrightly deceiving Veer, on an enemy level! This is the kind of enemy she wanted to be?
Isse peeche se vaar krna hi khete hai na?!
Veer apni burai gale mei leke ghumta hai, but bani is masking her devils under that pretty face of hers! I really found that disturbing.
I found her no different than jay yesterday!
Maybe she did it in peer pressure, but that doesn't justify her act.
This is the inconsistency in her character writing I always find. The last time she gave back to jay when he told her to kill off veer as soon as possible, was amazing! And that was like, 1 day back! Now suddenly she's ready to kill him off in the most meanest way possible?!
Its fine if she cannot reciprocate his feelings but atleast don't steep down to the level to plan to kill him, when he was at his vulnerable. Baring out every ounce of his soul infront of her.
'I would never hurt you', 'I wouldn't let any harm even touch you', 'Mein tumhe jee jaan se chahata hu'.
Veer doesn't get tired of expressing his love even when the timer is ticking on his head! Her revenge would have been valid if veer was equally hating her! Then I would have called the fight of equals! He's so emotionally invested in her now, it comes across borderline betrayal now from bani's side! Itna invest hone dena hi kyu hai, jab maarna hi hai usse!
I don't want bani's regret when the truth comes to light, I want her redemption for atleast this one act.
I get it, everyone's hidden demons come to light at some point in the worst way possible and bani's came yesterday, I feel. We could see her inner turmoil yesterday regarding how she felt for Veer,but her cold behaviour towards him, even after reaching the forest, made me uncomfortable. I was hoping she would refrain from going ahead. But on the contrary she was searching for that damn tree, from where Veer's death route starts!
I wasn't even able to enjoy the hug properly, since it wasn't 100% genuine from bani's side!😭
PS: I loved how beautifully they redeemed Veer's past life sins!❤️
Aakesh killed hriday in last birth, veer saved jay in this birth. Cause and effect both are fulfilled now.
PSS: This isn't a hate post on bani, alright!😆 The fact that she would never behave this unethically, made me more disturb about her! Woh hota hai na, safed kapde pe ek bhi daag, prominently dikh jaata hai!
Rest of the episode was, as we all unanimously feel,
IT WAS MAGIC!❤️ Words would fall short!❤️
