Another heartbreaking episode.. And some more fantabulous performances.. Kids are just so adorable and talented too. It was so heart-wrenching to see the kids bidding final adieu to their mother without knowing it. Can't even the imagine the mindset of the mother who had to leave these adorable kids behind.. And the father who has to watch his beloved wife and kids going through it.. There are absolutely no words to describe the pain, the grief..
The kids showing such a brave face, I just wanted to sweep Aarav into my arms when he so cutely described how well he behaves like a 'accha baccha'. He was just damn cute. And Disha with her inherent optimism and chirpiness trying to cheer her mother, but the lone tear falling from her eyes.. Oh, God, why so much pain in this world !!
Gurdeep was excellent with her expressions, And the silent observer Ram who had to voice Anu's wish of getting promise from kids to take care of each other.. I don't know whom to feel sorry for more.. Each & everyone of them are suffering.. A cute moment when Anu refers Ram as ziddi and Disha corrects it saying he is the bestest father... Will she feel the same after tomorrow? I shudder to think of it..
Kids singing 'I love you and we are happy family', Ram and Anu unable to enjoy the moment with the heart-full of sorrow. Why the hell this wonderful family has to go through this... The kids doesn't want to leave the mother, and Anu doesn't want to let them go.. Disha sensing the dangerous current in the air, wanting to be with her mother, so natural and so painful. Ram has to resort to shouting to get the kids leave.. Poor guy..
The scene where nurse asking Doctor to try arranging money for Anu's treatment.. Ok. She did do it with good intentions, but Doctor already told Ram that there is no hope, and that's what triggered Ram to decide to grant Anu's third wish.. Now this new development of Doctor asking Mr. Kapoor for funds is going to put Ram in deeper trouble once he takes the irreversible final step. Probably it will act as a proof that Ram took that step because of financial constraints and not because Anu's condition was hopeless.
Mr. Kapoor easily agreeing to help another patient (Anu), but not even willing to listen to his own daughter.. Yes, he is good at heart, but the goodness is shadowed by his anger & ego.. Though he may say it is not anger, but pain, I don't agree with that line of thought. If it is only pain, he would have atleast listened when Sooraj tried to reason out.. M & M duo (Manika & Manav) doesn't have any goodness, they are fed up of Mr. Kapoor wasting the money on charity.
Some more beautiful, but painful moments. Ram making Anu wear his mother's bangles. Btw, Ram looked very good in that scene, I think he lost some weight after the start of the show, he looks thinner now compared to the first episode.
Anu wants her father, poor Ram, this guy just can't say 'no' to his wife, and that too when it is her last moments.. He had to invent some ideas to get his clueless FIL to talk to his wife. Ram pretends to be villager whose wife benefited from Mr. Kapoor's charity trust and requests Mr, Kapoor to bless his wife considering her as his daughter.. The flinch on Anu's face when Ram said it and then again when Mr. Kapoor called her as Beti and said 'I am like your father', just so realistic and painful. Hats off to the makers for showing such intricate emotions..
After the call, Anu wants the life support system to be switched off (in my limited knowledge, it doesn't look like Anu is connected to the life support system, it merely looked like oxygen mask. But I am willing to overlook this point as the makers are doing a damn good job everywhere). Ram is still not ready, he borrows some more time by making her wear mangalsutr, bindi and Sindhoor. Anu's FB of remembering she wearing all these when she was hale & healthy was very apt there. Ram now produces the nail polish and claims he practiced to apply perfectly this time as she always complained that he doesn't do properly. A beautiful moment (the very last :( )between the couple where Ram with so much of concentration applies the nail polish.
The acting is so perfect, emotions realistic and the feeling just so natural.. A 10/10 episode..
Precap : Ram switching off the life support... I don't think either Anu or Ram had thought it through.. There are legal complications here.. As a patient, Anu has a right to reject treatment and she can demand the life support to be removed. But she should have expressed her decision to the doctor, now how will Ram prove that it is not his decision but he was only carrying out Anu's wishes. What proof he has? In India, the law on passive euthanasia (since there is no external means used to end the life, it is not active euthanasia) is not very clear cut. If it is the patient's wish, there are no issues, otherwise there are issues involved.. Ram is going to be in deep trouble, not just emotionally, but legally too..
