Gosh, My heart went out to Vikram, the episode really brought tears...
What s predicament? Poor poor Vikram...
He released Shobha, after his unconditional support for so long to her , he let her go...
He asked her for the hair oil recipe, almost making it clear that he wont be able to tolerate her presence any longer - just as an employee, just as a friend, but also as someone else's wife..
Shouldn't Shobha have realized that he LOVED her so much ??
If they were just friends, why did he have to detach himself from her like this, if she was going back to Samarth,? Shouldn't she have realized that there was an overlap of relations and feelings here , that she cannot be with Vikram the same way once she is back with Samarth?
Is she that naiive?
Has she learned nothing about feelings/ emotions in life?
And then the way she reacted when Vikram asked her to go back to Samarth, she showed him relief, she showed him happiness, she showed him that his answer was right, that she was testing him all this while, going on Usha's words that he loved her or not... shouldn't she have thought about how Vikram will feel at that instance? She acted selfish, really selfish, it was an easy decision for her...Does she have any idea what love means? Could Vikram have given her that answer if he didn't love her unconditionally?
Is she that stupid?
Or maybe she is a coward?
She just want to be an ostrich and dig her head in the sand - announce to the world that there is nothing between her and Vikram, because people who fall in love like that - or according to her ' have an affair' are lesser human beings...
This was the easiest option for her - be a pativrata nari, the best mother and SIL and DIL?
That way she wont have to answer the society, she will just go back to her previous life just like so many other women do ...but the difference is Shobha - that they don't have a Vikram in their life...
Will be nice to hear people's opinion in the forum.
This is not a Sonali bashing post - just a post on Shobha the character and how she came across in this particular episode...

I have reservations against Shobha's character. But maybe this is reality! People do not like to come out of relationships in our society since it is so complicated. we all just take the easy route. To her right now going back to samarth is the easy route. After all he is the father of her kids. But if you think about it - you dont become a father just by giving your genes. Shobha has to realize that! Maybe the charcater is like that! described by her friend as 'forever in denial" until something shake her out of it!

I believe some 20 years back the behaviour of Shobha would have been acceptable but women of today has more self esteem, either she is living in an era alien to us or she is a coward that's all. I hope this Shobha Samarth thing does not last long and Shobha realises her mistake very soon.

Yes completely unacceptable for Shobha to go back to that cheating husband.. She has made herself strong independent for the very reason that she can lead a life on her own terms why should she go back why coz the kids biological father are the kids of the kids , they also need to know yes at this stage it cannot be told to them but there are many such kids who are separate from their parents yet they grow well & become good individuals , a mother giving good values can make up for both parents should could have stood there & defended her self and answered her reasoning to Vikram why shud I go back to that man.
Somewhere I cannot sympathize with Shobha accepting herself to go back.. Vikram gavr his reasons that Jiyu wanted sanata clause to get father & mother together but is Samarth the one who will be the dedicated ??

As society we have moved in various ways for woman in lookin for justice to such reasoning and makin our stand that injustice cannot be tolerated then Shobha should take that stand..

Now gaining so much strength does she see herself a fool to weaken again ??

I think its a combination of all 3

She appears to have had a sheltered life hence the naive nature
One would have to be stupid not to see take one look at Vikram and see his love
And of course, going back to her husband and kids is the easy way out...everyone is "happy"

I hope the CV use this as a chance to show the stark differences between Samarth and Vikram.

Where Shobha realizes Samarth does not show the same care and compassion for her and her kids
Where the kids realize what Vikram felt for them was fatherly love and despite Samarth being their dad, his love is lacking

Shobha despite having seen the outside world since 6 to 8 months.. still wants to go back to her sheltered coccon life..! :(
She chooses to be stupid not to see Vicky's love so as to prove Usha wrong!

I suppose, her naivety regarding relations is justifiable. She lived a fairytale life for whole nine years, and to break that habit of being a good wife with my-hubby-is-perfect kind of thoughts that used to fill her mind all the time, just can't be broken in nine months in which she has been living independently. And that is also partly because of her upbringing too. Her mother suggested to overlook Samarth's wrongdoings and forgive him.
Shobha is a coward too, I agree. She is afraid to take any chances because she sees her kids first, her priority. They are the ones who will suffer as they are too small to understand the situations between their parents.
Also, a woman having an 'affair' with other man when her hubby is all well and alive (people really don't care about what crimes he has done and all, all they do is gossip and speculate) is sort of seen as a taboo in our society. This thought is nagging her probably. With Usha 's straightforward and blunt replies, she has jumped deeper into denial mode. She is doing a great mistake by returning back to her old life. Women need to understand that life doesn't end when such things happen. Life does shower you with opportunities to better you life. All is needed is to MOVE ON.

Only some strong shock or realisation on her kids part can she accept Vikram as her better half, second half 😊
