Really...
The CVs made us go round and round, jalebi-like in our heads, making us conjure the most IMPROBABLE, ridiculous plots we could, coz we couldnt come up with anything better...
So the cousin is none other than Shaila Bua's freak daughter obsessed with this expressionless moron (read: Subbu) (I have NO idea what she found hot and lustworthy in him)..and the woman who apparently used to constantly harrass Lakshmi, telling her gory tales about his "affair" with Neha and him being a dirty, dirty man...is no other than Santoshi Bhalla. YUCK. The stupidity of it. The stupidity of Toshi unable to figure out in all these days since Subbu's intentions came to the surface, WHAT she might have done in London to earn her this seemingly inexplicable wrath of this dentist-turned criminal, has shocked me beyond belief. I mean, is it SO difficult to put two and two together? 🤔
If Shaila Bua KNOWS what's wrong, if Neha Vanraj is involved then HOW D F DID TOSHI NOT GET THE POINT? HOW? I mean, EVEN when Shaila Bua wasnt contacted, did Toshi leave her brains behind or something? Subbu used to live in London, Lakshmi and Karthik DIED in London...and she had been to London last year...and she couldnt connect the dots? Really? Despite knowing Lakshmi's husband was an 'Indian doctor'...like one has to be really idiotic to not piece the puzzle...
So apparently, Neha Vanraj was a dental assistant in Subbu;s office, and somewhere during all those gross dental procedures she fell for him..she told Lakshmi about an apparently non-existent affair...even when Subbu point-blank refused to go out on a date with her, saying he's married..blah blah
There was this scene where Neha tried to "force himself on Subbu" IMAGINE THE HORROR...She tried to hug him from behind ...and it looked COMICAL...Looked like they were enacting a scooter scene for some amateur play😆 then Neha said "Main tumhari biwi ko bata dungi ki main pregnant hun..with your child" (I think she assumed the bear-hug she unleashed on Subbu out of the blue, could've resulted in a pregnancy or something)...and Subbu, enraged slapped her even as twenty other office goers stared at them
Long story short, even when Subbu tried to distance himself away from Neha, she found him so irresistibly sexy that she couldnt bear to be away frm him..and got Toshi on board to "fight her case"...Apparently, Toshi used to constantly call Lakshmi and harass her, saying her husband was a dirty man, playing with the lives of two women
Before making the fatal jump from the terrace/balcony/whatever, Lakshmi cried and did her share of bad acting..said a host of things, that you had left Ishita as well, you're a liar and a cheater, you have played with this girl as well and leaving her, I cannot stay with you, I am going away from you..blah blah and then BOOM!
Subbu had a WHOLE MINUTE TO WRENCH HIS WIFE FROM THE EDGE AND SAVE HER BUT HE DECIDED HE WILL MAINTAIN A CINEMATIC PAUSE AND WAIT AND WATCH FIRST...IDIOT😔
Toshi, on the other hand, pulled a dramatic "Nahin! Main aisa kabhi nai kar sakti"..
And on her part, instead of caring for her sis-in-law (the reason which she had gone to London for), Toshi decided she would rather play Agony Aunt and solve Neha's love and pregnancy probs...Based on the web of lies Neha have devised, Toshi thought she would rather go ask Lakshmi to "control her husband" than confront Subbu...Logically, if a guy WAS out to spoil your daughter's life, you will try and confront him as soon as possible...why will you go to his wife?? As if the wife has put the husband on a tight dog leash and controls his every movement...
Toshi went to speak to Lakshmi and as good as threatened her, saying, "apne gande parivaar ko hamare masoom parivaar se door rakh...agar hamari beti ke saath phir kuch hua toh changa nai hoga" without bothering to listen to Lakshmi...not that she had much to say in this matter...What can the WIFE DO? Its not like she is training the husband to go play Casanova with 50 women outside! That she'll say, "Enuff. Time to give you your certificate!"
Like sane/rational people, Shaila and Toshi ought to have first met Subbu...I mean its necessary to make a BG check on the man as well, and they'd have found out Subbu wasnt the least bit interested in Neha...on the other hand, if Neha would've focussed 20 seconds longer on Subbu's face UP-CLOSE, She would have realised she isnt the least bit interested in him as well😆
While I did not get HOW the Bhallas were responsible fot the mess created in his life initially, I do get that murky gossip and false notions can impact emo people like Lakshmi, who would prefer jumping off the terrace than kicking the hubby's ba**S and bringing him back to sense, or conversely speaking, having a bitch talk with the freak stalking her husband, or asking a third non-interested stupid interfering party like Toshi to back off and tell her she knows what she has to do and doesnt need to be taught😡
I feel Toshi should have stuck to the good ol' principle : Do not interfere in others' matters, especially when you're on a vacation and a fixed purpose. Do not get involved MORE SO, if its concerning romantic liasons and pregnancies...but nai, Toshi had to to display her Tashan...raha nai gaya unse...I am annoyed with HOW CALLOUS AND IMPULSIVE Toshi can be...and STUPID, not to mention
If xyz man still continues to have an affair with my niece, then will I go make HER see sense and MEET THE GUY or drag his wife into it and threaten her? No really..I want to know... And conversely, WHY did Subbu not try and make that "aurat" understand and back off, in London itself? Why did he not complain against her for causing harrassment? Surely, its not right to keep calling someone and harrassing them the way Toshi apparently did? And what about Neha? easily uske khilaaf action liya jaa sakta tha...workplace harassment can have dangerous consequences..tab dimag kaam nai kiya uska? Either way, this plan to bump off Simmi and Ananya is unacceptable...
Subbu hates Toshi, no doubt...but shouldn't he hate that Neha girl more? I mean, she DID spread false rumours and baseless stuff around...got fake preggers reports made, this and that? I think it wud've been just had she been bumped off first...to come ALL the way to India and hunt Toshi down and try and murder her daughter...wow...
Although, Toshi DID do a stupid thing. She could have easily minded her own business. She didnt have to play the cop there in London..Its laughable that Shaila and her daughter are happily enjoying their lives, but the Bhallas in India havent prolly slept a wink in the last 10 days😆coz of Neha Vanraj who prolly is hanging on another rich man's arm now
Subbu lunged at Toshi, who remained hidden, cowed down in fear, behind Bhalla ji...Raman, angry and threatening thundered, "Meri maa ne galti ki...par tune jaan boojhke yeh saari planning ki...tu paagal hai..par main tujhse zyada paagal hun...agar meri family ki taraf aankh uthakar bhi dekha, toh zinda gaadh dunga"
THIS DIALOGUE LIFTED MY SPIRITS...Raman in his tashan-daar avtaar...made my day😆 No matter what, Raman wont let anyone harm his family..mess with it...just love this guy...and KP only had few lines today, and yet, he NAILED all of them👏
Though there are people like Lakshmi who are extremely vulnerable and impulsive too, I'd rather she kick Subbu in the groin than make the jump..that way, atleast he wud have tried harder to get Neha and Toshi off his back...
I am most pissed with Sujata...Subbu, well, he suffered a loss..but Sujie...had she lost her mind too? She as good as EGGED SUBBU ON to do such a ghastly thing..which BTW HAS CONSEQUENCES...AND HE SHOULD RIGHTLY BE PUNISHED FOR IT...😡
Its no laughing matter, whatever he did...IMO, Sujie NEEDS a reality check and both she her SIL shud be put behind bars...you cant act so mad and uncouth..and coax your son-in-law to commit such CRIMES. DUH! Toshi was extremely stupid and idiotic and interfering, but she obvio didnt think Lakshmi would DIE.
There are a hundred diff ways Subbu could've tackled it...I mean, unless and until you get SOLID proof that your spouse is cheating, why on earth will you take your child and jump off the terrace? That's SUICIDE-MURDER, DUDE!!😡 At the end of it, Toshi has been an idiot and callous...but not a criminal...and no matter WHAT Subbu's justiications are, HE and Sujie ARE criminals...I hope they are put behind bars...and if they're not...
