What a brilliant episode! Both yesterday and today, were amazing episodes and probably the best ones I have seen on Indian TV so far. Most shows are so unrealistic and over dramatic, it's so hard to find real gems like these. The whole scenario was realistic and not even a bit dramatic or over the top emotional. It was so perfectly balanced on both ends and both the actors were superlative in their portrayal. Big round of applause to Vikram, who made me cry, with his portrayal.
Vikram, could have easily confessed to Shobha, but he realized that the time was not right. I liked that he told Shobha he doesn't think Samarth deserves her or ever will. But, I also understood why he asked to give him a chance, because it is not easy to dissociate the kids from your personal relationship with your husband. Also, the kids are too young to understand the complexity of divorce. From Vikram's end, I understood his decision. Even though his words were saying something else, his eyes, his tone, his behavior everything screamed of his love for Shobha and I am almost amazed that Shobha did not see through. My heart went out to Vikram, for setting his love free and for unconditionally loving her.
Shobha, who came to find out the truth about Usha's claims, struck me a little odd today. Yes, Vikram did ask her to go back to Samarth, but there is no way that a woman would not have seen through his heart today. Everything in his eyes and tone proclaimed how much he loves her. I would have much preferred that despite his words, Shobha would have seen that glimpse of love in his eyes and understood that Usha was right. She could have gone back to Samarth and then kept playing out Vikram's unconditional love for her versus Samarth's selfish want for her. And then in the course of time understood her own feelings for Vikram.
but here, they showed her to be so oblivious to his pain at letting her go. Vikram and Shobha have developed a relationship where they both can understand what the other person is feeling without them saying it out loud. But, vikram seems to have understood Shobha better than her. She could not understand him today, and she failed as a friend. She can be in denial about it, but today, it was so crystal clear, any woman in her place would have understood the underlying love in his eyes.
Also, she almost looked like she was happy that Vikram told her the right decision was to go back to Samarth. This, after he has cheated on her with multiple women, abused her, tortured her mentally, and literally thrown her out of his life. Even for the sake of the kids, this was a weak move. She should have told Samarth she needed time to think this through. And for some time she would move out of the house and take a break in Mumbai or something. I understand it is hard for a mother, but if a mother is not respected, it will affect the kids too. If husband-wife are not happy, kids will never learn what a marirage is about and what healthy relationships are like. For a longer term, it is important for kids to understand what makes a happy and mutually respected relationship between parents. And her kids are so young, that if they divorce now, and if they handle the kids well enough, they will grow up to understand the circumstances better and will have a happier upbringing than seeing mom unhappy and dad compromising.
Either way, we got to see the different shades of love. Vikram's unconditional love which is as pure as it can get. Letting her for her happiness and the children that he loves like his own.
Shobha's love for Samarth, that she moulded for so many years, but is ready to forgive him for the sake of the children and the love that she finds hard to forget.
