I didn't see yesterday, but my thoughts when I saw the end of the previous episode, the mask-haran, was that Suhani should stop pushing it and leave this obviously disturbed girl to a medical care professional, preferable a shrink. But let's face it, du--the cvs aren't responsible enough to show how something like this SHOULD be dealt with, and the mask had to come off, so rather than RagsMen doing kaand, better Suhani did it.
I think it's been the pattern that Suhani will tolerate a lot of shit thrown at her, but usually reacts on others' behalf. I'm not sure that is very right or healthy, because I don't know if it indicates a degree of strong self-confidence that can ignore put-downs, or a sense of martyrdom, as in Oh, I will bear this atyachaar and bring on claps from trp aunties.
I really don't see anything in Suhani (lookswise) that would invite taunts, but apparently she's been subject to them, so we'll take it as given. Again, the question arises--why hasn't she ever asked dadi to address HER by her name? That wouldn't be anything more than asking that someone stop demeaning you. It's just ignored by her, and everyone, like it's perfectly okay. If nothing else, she should simply not react/answer when she's de-personalized by being addressed as 'ladki''. What worries me is that things like this indicate the writers' total lack of awareness of what their writing indicates. They are just presented as facts, not as issues that should be addressed. So I very much doubt there will be any in-depth exploration of why Suhani is particularly protective of Gauri.
Oh, Yuvraj supported her? Good, I suppose. If only the better to piss off dadi. But why do I feel this kind of agreement from Yuvraj is a facile way of showing he's a bit different from how he used to be?
