We got to see the pain anguish and tears of two mother's Shalini and Barkha. What a contrast they are !!! Shalini who led a life of guilt all these years due to R's illegal activities. She yearned for a normal family life with her husband and children but never got it and Barkha who had all the good things in life but failed to see it. Barkha lost a son, so did Shalini. Death is painful and it takes a long time to get over it especially for a mother to lose her young child. For Shalini, its equally difficult since her son is very much alive and living in the same city but seperated from her.

Shalini, finally chose to end her misery by exposing her husband's evil side. What she will gain in return only time will tell. Maybe peace of mind and reunion with Adi. But Jasmine's attitude will always be a concern for her. This character has turned positive and very likeable. Hope Adi and Shalini together will convince Jasmine to change her mind . But, like Varsha said its in the gene pool 😆 and Jasmine will remain a carbon copy of R forever.

Barkha shut herself in her own world and made life miserable for people around her especially Nikhil. Now she has lost him too. If only she had opened her eyes and looked around her or atleast look at Nikhil's sad face then he would have been with her now. In her obsession to get rid of Laajo she unknowingly got rid of Nik 😲

Hey Anu, its raining posts!! good one. Like "Tale of two cities"...here we have a " Tale of two mothers"...though I don't want to call Barkha a mother in the first place. Your every word is so true.
Its like we are comparing two opposites!! Barkha had everything but did not have a heart to love and give. Shalini had no power , yet she had a heart to distinguish between what is right and what is not!!
Barkha is blind to others miseries as she is self obsessed...even this tragedy where she has lost her second son has not made her see through her mistakes. Its always said that the weak blame others for their problems while the brave accept their mistakes. Here there is no need to say who is brave and who is a coward. So true that in her obsession of keeping out Laajo out of Nikhil's life she lost Nikhil, yet she says she wanted Nikhil to be happy!! wonder what her definition of happiness is?!!😲 Revenge always takes away everything with it ...and that's the case with Barkha.
Shalini was a helpless mother. She lived her life in dilemma and guilt. Her principles and idealism made her life with Ranawat more miserable moreover her son's separation made it unbearable. I feel so bad for her. She had to choose between her husband and her principles !! And any person with conscience would do what she did though late than never. In such a situation a person looses more than gains ...but a clear conscience is a bigger achievement than any material things is it not?!! So I feel Shalini has gained more than she has lost by sticking to her idealism...and I am sure she will get back with her son whom she yearned to be with. What more can a mother ask for?!! ( Here I don't want to talk of Jasmine!! as she has never valued her mother's advice!! and such people learn their lessons the hard way)
So, Barkha lost everything though she got what she wanted ( Laajo - Nikhil separation)
and Shalini gained what she wanted though she lost her husband( whom she disliked)
Here I feel Shalini is the winner!!😊

Hey Anu/Varsha interesting topic and good food for thought!
I think in such circumstances no one is really the winner as in one way or another both lose out whichever way you look at it!
Barkha realises now what she's lost and regrets not loving Nikhil when she had the opportunity while Shalini regrets may be not turning her husband in sooner? She's going to be finally reunited with her son but lost her husband in the process and possibly her daughter too though I do think towards the end Jasmine will change and will realise that her dad is a criminal though I've got a feeling her dad will use her against Shalini!

Enjoyed reading both your views Varsha and Hema...

Shalini has an edge over Barkha. Her conscience is clear now but R will not leave her in peace and as Hema said he might use Jasmine against her.
Barkha is a loser all the way but she is never going to accept that. After Adi's truth is revealed I hope she will not lose Ayesha also.

Big Bad Barkha did not see Laajo's pure love for Nikhil, and she has belittled every achievement of Laajo's to date.
My concern yesterday was that not one of the Bhardwaj family members could get Barkha to stop spouting her venom. I do hope that Inder, when he hears of the situation acts on it for once and throws Barkha out of the house, sadly that's not going to happen😡
I do not think that Sagar will take advantage of this situation, and believe that he will stand by Laajo
and act with a clear head ( somebody has to).
Total respect to Shalini for her actions.

awesome topic and very thought provking and after today's episode I could really appreciate how wonderful the actors both these mothers are...they bring out strong emotions out in us viewers...
Barkha is a nut case along with jasmine... I agree though both have lost a lot today ,but what remains to be seen is who will rise out of these ashes and shine once again...Shalini in supporting her son or barkha in pulling the very sand under her son's life...
today made me cry so much for so many people be it nani , I loved anita ji today...a mother who is able to support her daughter in her plight even though she knows all her wrongdoings...

Hey Sami I liked Nani as well for supporting her daughter in spite of everything I suppose that's unconditional love for her daughter!
Also I feel when Barkha will find out about Adi's parents she will not spare Ayesha either! Right now Batkha is pouring out all her venom she's like a wounded tigress! So beware!

I know hema she wont spare anyone but I feel when nik comes back he would witness his mom at new low with laajo and I feel this time he might even refuse to live in his house...funny thing about this family is that they r so pessimistic I mean one never looses hope until one doesn't find a body ...there were way too many trees there for nik to be stuck some where...but barkha has declared him dead along with others without even going to the place where it all happened , btw I liked it how cvs showed it was DK and not sagar who brought laajo back.

anu amazing topic. Two mother's each have different lives. I love Shalini is a mother and wife who did the right thing in order to change her live and she choice positive way right now proud of this character and don't know what the future holds for her, and also she has a daughter who is not in her mental state.
And the other hand we have barkha who just hates anyone who is not in high society lol. This character is full of negative even hates her own son so much if he is not doing what she like him to do. Now that he is missing/dead she is blaming his wife whom she hates very much. Barkha right now is right time for her to choice to be good to others or hate. And regrating what she did to her son when he was around never listen to him, never cared for him when he needed her. Now is good time barkha to make a decition to handle with care the state of her family is. Is all up to barkha.
