I know you're all going to say I'm so needy but yesterday I needed a shoulder and today I need a bear hug *long sigh* the episode was so emotionally draining. Damn I'm such a softie! But then I can't stop myself from watching because I LOVE angst and the separation drama because I'm crazy you know 🤪 This is probably going to get long, so I apologize in advance! I have like so much time to watch and observe and blabber now LOL.
So firstly I would love to commend Sidhant and Jasmine for stealing my screen and my heart again today because they both have improved so well in emotional scenes. Sidhant scared me with Kunj's anger and depressed me with his pain. Jasmine made me cry so much today, I love how yesterday' episode the focus was on Kunj's pain and today on Twinkle's. So this post will mostly revolve around how kickass of a character she is and I think that works exceptionally well since its International Women's Day! So thank you CVs for giving us such a fabulous, strong female lead and happy Women's Day to all my amazing ladies here on the forum *blows numerous kisses your way*
Kunj's anger in the beginning of the episode was louder than I was expecting, it was accusing, it was harsh and it was very painful, both for him and Twinkle. I don't think he's mad at Twinkle, he's mad at her choices, her decision to keep him in the dark. Kunj so painfully tells her, she could've confided in him. He doesn't care that she told no one else, he should have been in the light about this. I found it really interesting that he understood her motives, but still didn't understand them. He understands that she did what she did because him and his papa have such bad relations and perhaps everything between them would have ended. But he doesn't see that Twinkle was doing this to protect that relationship, to protect the family's reputation. When she's crying that she handled everything, my heart actually broke because he lists everything that went wrong and asks which one did she handle? And that's when my tears started to fall for Twinkle, because she is so misunderstood. Now I understand Kunj's point too because he feels that he would have been able to protect his father from the death bed. But I mean perhaps if Twinkle had told Kunj and a fight ensued then and Usha broke down then, Manohar could have had a heart attack then too. So my only sadness with Kunj is that he should try to understand Twinkle more, not now because I know he's human, he's in so much pain and his world just came crashing down. But he really needs to sit down and actually think about why Twinkle did what she did.
Kunj's LONE TEAR when he spoke about his papa in the ICU killed me, Sidhant's bloodshot eyes, Kunj's pain, everything was just so on point, it broke me more.
The part that REALLY had me crying was Twinkle's breakdown in the middle of the road. She just wants to be understood, sure she may have made some mistakes along the way, but she risked the most important thing a woman has (her virtue) for THEIR family, she risked it all and this is what she gets in return? The floodgates really started when she got up seeing the car, she knew her Kunj would come back. He wouldn't leave her alone. He would always be there. But he wasn't. Twinkle's smile that faltered there, omg Jasmine you killed me. I stand by Kunj being hubbygoals because even though he didn't come back himself, he sent someone trustworthy to bring his wife home, he in a sense did not abandon her.
Yuvraj Luthra, as evil of a genius you are, just get ONE thing clear. Twinkle did not bend in front of you. She only seeks the blessings and shows respect to her husband, her love Kunj (gurudwara scene), NOT you.
Bebe Sarna is one of the BEST characters on this show. Her character is so consistent, so wise, and so admirable. The way she told Anita to shut up and fought for Twinkle TILL THE MOMENT SHE WALKED OUT THE DOOR, shows how much she loves this girl. It wasn't a fake one time, don't leave Twinkle, Bebe ran around trying to make Usha understand. And the way she protected Twinkle in regards to the video, my love for her only increased! Kunj also protected his biwi in front of Anita's accusations. This is so important in my eyes. Kunj has repeatedly, especially during the Mrs. Amritsar competition, said to Twinkle that I won't let you look bad in front of the rest of the world. He stood by that today and said she would NEVER do anything to harm OUR family. So in the eyes of the world, he wants everyone to see her as a part of the family. But Kunj baby that cannot happen until YOU see her as part of your family, and he doesn't which was signified in the last scene.
I don't blame Kunj for his feelings but I was really upset to see him remain silent when Usha first pushed Twinkle towards the door. She looked directly at him for support and he remained silent with a pained expression. I expected him to say SOMETHING but nope. Then when Usha started her drama, I knew he would choose his mom and you know what, I don't blame him. Anyone would choose their mother's life. I feel like one improvement that SERIOUSLY needs to be made is Kunj's priorities. He shouldn't have to make his mother or Twinkle first place, they should both be and that's only when he considers her to be a part of the family...
I feel like the wardrobe is one of the most intimate places for husband-wife because it's the place a man begins to share. It is full of their clothes, their personal belongings, idk how to explain this more but wardrobes I feel like are a big domestic type thing (ik I make no sense LOL). So when Kunj throws Twinkle's belongings out, I feel like that's when his pain is really manifested. He just watched his mother try to kill herself, his father is in coma, and he feels none of this would happen if he knew the truth so he really is blaming Twinkle but in his eyes it makes sense. He blames her bachpaana, but I thought Twinkle was finally maturing.
Omg the song actually slaughtered any strength left in me, especially when the first thing she remembered was how Kunj promised to bring her back with respect. That is her silent wish. She is leaving but with the hopes of having her husband bring her back to her rightful place when he realizes all that she did was for the family's benefit. I liked how Twinkle was the one to take the knife from Usha's hand, it shows how she will continue to be the one to try to mend things between the two of them and hopefully one day Usha sees that. Again, the last scene just showed me how Kunj's biggest flaw is his inability to understand Twinkle's intentions in relation to THEIR family because he is accusing her of hurting HIS family. Oh but I will say that as Twinkle was having those flashbacks, you could see that Kunj was in EQUALLL pain seen her go because he shut his eyes so tightly, trying not to cry, to keep in his emotions. He needs to be strong and everything is just not working.
I hope I didn't come off as bashing Kunj, because I honestly do understand his place and I'm trying to stay neutral. Just yesterday Kunj was the one to make me cry, but today it was Twinkle </3
I'll be accepting those bear hugs now! 😳
