Questions Galore - Take for 28/04

The siblings are indeed close and the bond a strong one. But as we have seen...it takes just one act (not taking Disha into confidence by Ram and Anu about the ending of one life) to make someone lose faith in someone else whom they have trusted and loved all their lives. So hopefully, this bond remains close.


Little Aarav is a rockstar. His strength lies in the way he behaves like a child and doesn't act older than his age. The way he takes cues from his sister and behaves accordingly is adorable. But somewhere in that little boy, the creatives have also shown a mature person in the way he realises his sister is cheating in their game so that he can have all the food. Disha, as usual, shines in her role. I watch this PH's other show Udaan (though not every episode) and realise that they pick really good child actors. And they manage to carry the show on in spite of no romance or conventional romance and they manage to get good trps. We have to see how DKBDHJ fares, especially given Sony's situation in the ratings department.


Disha is trying to cope the best she can and that is not easy, given that she is just a teenager. Blaming the father is realistic because as far as she is concerned...he told her he killed her mother and he's absconding too (Disha doesn't know about the accident, so as far as she is concerned...her father is MIA) Disha is blaming everything on her dad because that is how the mind works in such a situation...you find the person closest to you who you feel has lost your trust or not behaved the way you expect that person to and blame that person. She doesn't know all that has happened, all that has been discussed between her parents.


Okay, the time frame has not been clearly established I feel and so, it could have been 2 or 3 months since Anu was in the hospital or even much lesser time. There is nothing to tell us that this is or isn't the time frame. What I'm trying to say is...I think the makers have left it to us to assume the time frame. It makes sense to assume that Anu was in the hospital for a longer period because of the financial dues that they have to pay. Also, if we think...the previous treatment 2 years ago would have also drained them and they could have been still paying for it or just finished paying. I think some things are left for us to assume or to our imagination and also to make the children's plight look more pitiable. It also makes it easier for Mr Kapoor, the grandfather and father of the year! to force the children to come with him and stay at his house. As far as Disha is concerned...it's realistic to show her blame Ram and wish for her mother to come back. There's no way she is going to rationalise things at this stage.


The reality of life is...most people do not want unwanted burdens. They are justified in this day and age when costs are running high. But that doesn't mean you have the right to hurt people with your words...the good Doctor's wife needs some fine-tuning in her manners!
Loved the way the cvs have made Aarav worry about the smaller things (yet not really smaller) like how they were going to eat the next day and if the doctor uncle would bring them food. They have kept it real because given Aarav's age...these are the things he would worry about. But again, by asking his sister to promise she would never leave him, constantly asking about their dad...they also showed that maturity and insecurity in him.


Who is paying for Ram's treatment?! Wonder if the police will get to him? Our serial police show their efficiency in bits and at different intervals.


Yes, I think Ram has been lying unconscious for some days, because 15 days may include the day Anu died, police started their investigation, Ram fled with the ashes, Disha talking with Ram and Ram getting hit by the lorry. I think because Disha is matured...we forget that she is still a young girl. I don't think she at this point in her life is thinking so much ahead because there's so much tragedy that she has had to absorb. She's just trying to survive and take care of her brother. Hence going to school which is one such act which would normalise things a bit.


It would be unrealistic within 15 days for her to discuss options with neighbours or think of using the FD as collateral and borrow money. I don't think she would even know that one could do that. The only reason she knew that she could break the FD was because she remembered a conversation between her parents talking about it.


Mr Kapoor is an egoistic person and am sure he is still reeling from Disha's words to him. If he can throw his own daughter out of his life and not accept her back even after 18 years...who is Disha to him? I won't be surprised if Karan turns out to be the brother-in-law's co-conspirator against Ram. Neighbours not talking to the children about future plans...I'm sure they don't want to get involved that deeply. They are being kind by giving food...but talking about future plans means getting more deeply involved.


Manika and her family are going to be the thorns in Disha and Aarav's lives. On a lighter note...after watching BT shows and their time frames, any other show and it's time frame is unfazing!!
