This whole thing is a farce inflicted on us by the CVs. The classic maa vs patni dilemma for the unfortunate hero, with the viewers hopefully on tenterhooks waiting for the next episode to relieve them of their tension. I would in fact bet that they will drag the matter over till Monday!😉
There is no point in all or many of us playing into the hands of the CVs, and agonizing over this highly contrived crisis.
Nothing is going to happen to Anusuya. Worst come to worst, Laachi might stage a walkout with her parents. And Puru can concentrate on the coming battle.
This said, a few points I would like to make.
One, Anusuya should, as Deepika, now happily restored to us, has pointed out correctly, have told someone - Bamni or Puru - about her suspicions re: Sumer. His explanation regarding the scorpion affair was clearly false, for no one else had touched that pot from the time Anusuya took it from Sumer till the time the scorpion bit Puru. She should have exposed that patent falsehood of Sumer's , if not right then and there, then afterwards with Bamni, who was then suspicious of Sumer, or with Puru.
Surbhi, you had felt the same thing then. But Anusuya prefers to play a lone hand, because the CVs want to manufacture this crisis.
Two, Anusuya should have wounded Sumer and stopped him, instead of killing him outright. I have discussed this point at length on earlier threads, and won't repeat myself.
But I don't agree with Surbhi's objection that Sumer, who would of course have talked his way out of that sticky situation, would have tried to attack Puru again. He would never have done that, for once he comes under suspicion, even if he manages to exonerate himself, he will still be watched and kept under scrutiny. He is a coward, and he would have abandoned the idea of killing Puru.
Three, Laachi's attitude is odd and artificial. Again because it has had to fit into this contrived crisis the CVs have cooked up. There is no point in fretting over it.
Finally, Laachi kucch bhi kare, why does Puru box himself in by announcing, right at the beginning, that he would pronounce judgement that day itself? Why does he not start an enquiry into the whole matter, which is clearly a very serious one? The way he behaves reduces the whole to a joke, or a farce.
Now he will make some smart aleck manoeuvre, and hey presto, the truth will be revealed. 😆 All that remains to be seen is how the Dasyus react to this theatrical denouement.
The way in which such stand offs and dramatic confrontations are created, only to come to nothing soon thereafter, with everyone behaving as though nothing had happened, is the standard operating procedure in our serials.
What seems to be just as standard is the way in which our Pavlovian reflexes come into play, making so many fret themselves to flinders.
