I had a fantastic book of short stories as a part of my syllabus in Elective English during my graduation. And one of the stories had a profound line that has stayed with me, even though i have long forgotten the story and its author.
"A virtue is no virtue until its tested in fire."
Today, when Tejaawat turned and gave Maala that eerie selfish smile as he stepped out to destroy her world, i was reminded of the above quote. He loves her. True. But he loves himself more than her. Angootha lagwaa lo iss baat pe. It didn't take him more than 10 seconds to decide to finish off his stepson when he had just seen the desperate and warm motherhood in his beloved wife's eyes for Rudra. No conscience pangs. No effort to think of Plan B which would also convince Mohini and not involve killing of that son. And if that was not enough, he even used some psychoemotional chess with Maala and took a promise that no matter what he does, she will always forgive him.
And the worst part was when he was stepping out of the palace to plan Rudra's game - he turned to look at Maala. Without any guilt or second thoughts. Just a triumphant fiendish smile.
All this with the woman he claims to love. The woman he has been married to for 15 years. The woman around whom his life revolves.
As soon as the test of fire came, his virtuous love failed and his survival instinct and his dark side won. And on the other side, look at Rudra. He is staking his own life for Paro whom he has known not even for 15 days and with whom he has no SAID relationship. This is what VIRTUE is.
Tejaawat's love turned out to be just as flawed as he is.
Having said that, a gripping episode carried completely by Senior Actors. The scene between Thakur Sa and Mohini was POWERFUL. It looked like one of those wolf meetings of the dark side. Even Thakur was taken aback by Mohini's cruelty - only to equal himself with her by showing his own brand of cruelty to his own wife.
Not bad at all, creatives. Good job in an emergency state.
BRAVO!
The precap looks very very stormy.
