Dhara is pregnant and needs a breather from every form of Nautanki of this family. I know it's the truth for many families in real life, but still, my heart feels for Dhara and Suman both.
I had dealt with my ‘feminist happy go lucky Ma’ when she was bedridden. She was educated and had a job, too, throughout her life, yet those two years were traumatic for both of us. She was unusually cranky, would scream and often wail, wallowing in self-pity. She wouldn't sleep for nights because of illness and had an unusual penchant for making me her punching bag out of frustration despite me being the caretaker and primary guardian of the house in my father's absence.
I had To give Up a Considerable chunk Of my Education during That phase to support my nuclear family. I was in class 12th then. I later resumed education but lost 2 years and tons of opportunities.
For a child, it's excruciating to see a parent crippled like that.
Perhaps, that's why I have an extreme weakness for Shiva despite his temper issues.
No regrets, though, but I know how irritated a person can be. We had house helps etc., and the nurse was there only for a couple of months only.
I wouldn't say I like Suman for her hypocrisy, but her frustration in this scene was on point.
That's why I am so appalled by the reaction of Dev during this crisis. Weeping aggravates the shame, and thus, it becomes even more embarrassing for the patient. One has To be innovative, patient and extremely polite.
Also, the incredible hypocrisy of Dev bringing in Raavi for the comparison. Rishita is a human being and is allowed to make mistakes. Lashing out at her won't make a difference, will it?
