Obsession is the single most wasteful human activity, because with an obsession you keep coming back and back and back to the same question and never get an answer. - Norman Mailer
All extremes of feeling are allied with madness. - Virginia Woolf
Yuvraj Luthra was determined to an extreme extent as an adolescent ,to get back his mother's happiness. He grew up with a mother who always had scores to settles with Leela Taneja. He grew up deprived of love. Abandoned by his father first and then by his mother who had always been consumed in hatred and vengeance, Yuvraj wanted attention from the only person worth living for in his life, his mother. However, Anita's fire of hatred was so intense that a son's love for his mother wasn't enough at all to extinguish it. Instead, Yuvraj got tangled in his mother's fire when she finally held him close to herself. He saw the happiness his mother had in him being her accomplice and his determination to defame Twinkle Taneja got stronger and stronger.
However one thing went wrong. An emotionally broken person, an abused individual, a person dealing with worst kind of abandonment was showered unconditional love from a person who was suppose to be only a pawn. Yuvraj had gotten everything in his life. Every single thing he has ordered, had been at his feet. Except love and when he got love showered from Twinkle, he felt all more entitled to it. His determination to get her and marry her turned into obsession and an unhealthy one at that because Twinkle is not a toy or doll as he imagines her to be. Twinkle is a human being. Yuvraj fell for Twinkle because she gave him the most precious gift of unconditional love and support in her seven years with him. She encouraged him, she boasted his ego, she blindly trusted him so much that she was would've if needed, given up her life for him. Despite Twinkle's dedication, Yuvraj never managed to acquire a place in Twinkle's heart that was equal to her love for her family which Kunj has managed to do since he has married Twinkle. Yuvraj was always the second person in everyone's life and deep down he realizes that in matter of love, he is not a winner which is why he went ahead to break all the barriers of morality. He was not his mother's first choice. His mother chose his father's betrayal over him. Twinkle chose her mother's happiness over him by accepting Kunj in her life as a husband instead of Yuvraj, putting Kunj on the same pedestal that she puts her family on. Heck, even Mahi backed away from him and he wasn't able to tolerate a rejection of a girl whom he himself considered a 'nobody'.
The complete change in Yuvraj's role occurred after he saw her getting married to Kunj. That was the last nail in the coffin. When Twinkle refused to put Yuvraj above her family's happiness and wouldn't fall for his emotional manipulation, Yuvraj resorted to physical abuse by manhandling her. He went as far as to defame her of rape victim of Kunj. Her marriage to Kunj opened the barriers of limits for Yuvraj as now, Yuvraj had to reach to Twinkle before Kunj in one way or another. His alliance with his mother from the point of Twinkle and Kunj's marriage has been not to destroy Twinkle as Anita's has been but to destroy the relationship Twinkle shares with Kunj. The purpose of Yuvraj's life is Twinkle because he has been able to give him the only thing he always yearned for. Love. Anita doesn't hold any candle in Yuvraj's life except being the provider of luxuries and wealth.
In yesterday's episode and the episode where Twinkle had decorated the room for Kunj and her to have a 'special' night, Yuvraj has mentioned one thing that holds the utmost significance. He said that he has crossed all limits for Twinkle. Obsession doesn't have limits. It goes on and on and on and there's no scope for an obsession to die down until it is replaced by another obsession. In his own mind, Yuvraj has shown Twinkle that the world and anyone else means nothing to him as he has done the most impossible things in order to get to her. Yuvraj does not think of his crimes as his own crimes but he thinks that the world sees his actions as crimes. It is an interesting factor in his delusion of believing that the attachment he has with Twinkle is really love. He also mentioned yesterday that Twinkle is his "aadat" signifying that the reflection Twinkle had shown him ever since she had gotten married forcefully under pretense to him, has brought out it's colors. Yuvraj has seen Kunj being successful in getting the ring to Twinkle. He has seen Kunj kissing Twinkle on the night that was suppose to be his mehindi and both Kunj and Twinkle wearing co-ordinating colors. He has seen her chose isolation with Kunj rather then freedom with him. and lastly, she has shown him his real place by getting him beaten by the world and him not being saved by anyone for that matter. Twinkle has bruised his ego and pride however she has been unsuccessful in breaking apart his obsession. The only person to has the power to do so is he, himself.
Yuvraj cannot take rejection. His ultimate act of killing Twinkle along with himself was to remove Kunj from his pathway for once and for all. Fire is used to destroy however obsession/junoon is so powerful that it always resurfaces in most dangerous ways. His pride and ego has been hurt and Twinkle has kept on repeating that her faithfulness and love is reserved for Kunj.
> In igniting fire around himself and Twinkle, Yuvraj had given his obsession a rebirth that is stronger then before. He has also somehow used Twinkle's anger to inflict more pain on himself to get to the destruction that could unite him with her.
The episode started with Twinkle calling out to Kunj immediately after the fire has started. Twinkle has till now kept Kunj at bay. She has been the one to wage the war at Yuvi since the wedding day. Kunj has crossed over a line in order to protect Twinkle instead of standing by her just a day ago which hasn't earned him any brownie points in Twinkle's eyes. Kunj's exit and Yuvi's entrance determined how Twinkle herself has gotten Yuvi to a point of destruction where she cannot survive until she has Kunj to run to. Twinkle's call to Kunj determined her need for him to be present regardless of the internal struggles that are cropping up in between them.
Kunj manages to go inside however he is not able to rescue Twinkle, instead it is Twinkle who comes towards him. A pillar drops in between Twinkle and Kunj when Kunj tries to cross over to her however Kunj is held back by barriers of Twinkle's love. It was Twinkle's love for Yuvraj at a certain point that has deluded him to this extent that he cannot understand anything besides his own obsession when dealing with anyone for that matter; It is also Twinkle's love for Kunj that is keeping Kunj away from harm in Twinkle's eyes. -This falls in as a barrier in between Kunj and Twinkle that only Twinkle can cross and Twinkle does crosses over to land safely in arms of Kunj. That little moment of bliss is short-lived as Yuvraj drags Twinkle back in.
The fact that both of Twinkle's hans were tied by the men in her life and the uni was the let go defined how Kunj will ultimately let Twinkle chose her won decision. The true test of Kunj's love for Twinkle has just begun and while Kunj will fight for his love, he will not impose his love upon Twinkle. Twinkle can only come back to Kunj after fulfilling her motive and that is to throw Yuvraj away from her life.
For Twinkle, all she has ever wanted is, to live her own life. She never wanted to avenge anything from Yuvraj nor does she wants to avenge justice for pain now. Twinkle has pushed attacks on Yuvraj for her sister and now, for the pain her husband is going through. Her marriage ties her with Kunj and she wants her marriage restored back to it's glory. Twinkle pushed Yuvraj in a deeper hole of self-destruction today with her saving him. While he continued to long for death by her side, Twinkle rescued him with Kunj's help and granted Yuvraj a life of pain and agony to punish him for his sins. God banished the humans from paradise to earth after they ate the forbidden fruit, to live a temporary life and prove their worth. Twinkle in rescuing Yuvraj has waved the flag of war to resume between Kunj and Yuvraj. She has allowed Kunj to proceed on just as he wants to because he has already put her on a stake when it was not necessary for him to do so, however this time, the terms and conditions have been imposed on Yuvraj by Twinkle. Twinkle's pity for Yuvraj and the purity of heart has triumphed over her hatred.
Quoting EP 187 and EP 185 to elaborate:
EP 187:
...
Yuvraj's redemption is off the books now as Twinkle no longer considers her relationship with him to hold any significance in her life. There might come a track but with Twinkle might get a chance to walk over to Yuvraj in order to show him the right path but after deciding on not forgiving Yuvraj, she has stepped into the field not to defend herself but to fight for herself which signifies that Yuvraj has wholly become her opponent now.
EP 185:
...
>> Basically Kunj is going to to be the one to go at war with Yuvi in this last phase in order to protect and restore Twinkle's heart and life as I mentioned. The whole track has basically been waged against Kunj by Yuvraj as Kunj came in last minute to stop the forced wedding between him and Twinkle. In order to get Twinkle, Yuvi needs to eliminate Kunj and he has done so by using Mahi, the sister Twinkle yearned for her whole life by putting her opposite her and in doing so, distancing Twinkle from Kunj and making Twinkle realize the cost of going against Yuvraj. While Twinkle's regrets grew stronger, Kunj came more and more closer to her in order to protect Twinkle from her own self-sacrificing nature. Yuvi in midst of the war, waged a separate battle that questioned and brought out the emptiness of Kunj and Twinkle's relationship by attacking Kunj's family this time instead of Twinkle to make Kunj realize that he does not need to spent his life with Twinkle as he himself doesn't trust and fully understand Twinkle. (Kunj's repetition of not being able to understand Twinkle-logic that his wife implies in every other situation). The same backfired back on Yuvraj and no he wants to continue the battle he started out with but players have changed their positions to which Yuvi remained oblivious to.
...
Twinkle and Kunj are the only ones present in the hospital as Yuvraj is treated for his burns. Yuvraj being the only one to receive the burns and take in the reaction to fire while Kunj and Twinkle remaining unscathed was a reflection on how Kunj and Twinkle together can overcome the fire ignited by Anita and Yuvraj. The fact that they are not following two separate pathways, is going to bring the two at such a halt that they would not know which way to go.
Yuvraj's obsession hasn't broken however the pride and ego stirred in that obsession has broken and withered with Twinkle being the one to save him.
Yuvraj lied in the bed defeated. He was not remorseful or having regrets. Yuvraj's defeat was solely because he once again was unsuccessful in having Twinkle become his.
The scene was of utmost importance as in her attempt to show Yuvraj a mirror of who he has become, Twinkle and Kunj provided Yuvraj with the weapon of their own love. Twinkle went on to remind him that SHE ONLY LOVES KUNJ and that she is quite happy with her life with Kunj.
Kunj the duumbass went on a rant because he is disgusted by Yuvraj to such an extent that he is not willing to spare Yuvraj or his mother at any next move. While Twinkle expressed her pity at Yuvraj, reminding him that "HE" is not worth her, Kunj went ahead and handed Yuvraj the tools that have been contrasting elements in him and Yuvraj since very beginning. Love doesn't mean giving pain, which Yuvraj has handed to Twinkle as a punishment for rejecting him and Love doesn't mean attaining something by "force".
Kunj's reaction outside while waiting for the doctors in the hospital was full of disgust either and he wasn't very happy with Twinkle saving Yuvraj's life either. While she was ready to let go, he is not and his journey to justice for his wife has started off on a wrong note which could essentially staring his relationship more then he realizes. Twinkle's decisions would be reaction of Kunj's decisions and Kunj's realization of clearing the communication between himself and Twinkle is the most important factor until he proves to Twinkle that he is the one who is worthy of her support till the end.
In later half of the episode, Twinkle sits in the car to drive towards "Batala Road, Celebrations complex." Batala area is Amritsar is somewhat similar to Gurgoen in Delhi. The rough translation of Twinkle's destination is her walking towards victory in her motive to restore her marriage back. ironically Yuvraj is the one driving the car in her pathway to victory which signifies that Yuvraj will now be playing the last card he has left by reuniting Twinkle and Kunj; handing over every legal and religious right back to Kun in the most easiest way.
In the car, Yuvraj asks Twinkle that why does she not like him. What is it about him that she doesn't like and combining it with Kunj's rant, the ultimate conclusion that Yuvraj has come to is 'sacrifice'. Yuvraj's behavior in the car is worth noting. He is forcefully sitting in place of someone else once again. He is once again DEMANDING answers from Twinkle of the question he has asked. His expression change once she tells him that he is the most selfish human being she has come across. That he has only tried to get to her without understanding that SHE doesn't like him and reciprocate his feelings in any manner as him.
Instead of taking her to the destination she has asked to be taken to, Yuvraj forcefully pull her out of the car to thank her. Yuvraj Luthra's obsession may have lost it's pride and arrogance but his obsession hasn't lost it's determination. He is alive because of Twinkle and he realized that. His realization of his mother telling him the wrong way to get to Twinkle has also struck as Twinkle explained to him in the hospital that he did not think about his mother at all while putting his own life at stake along with hers. The only way back to Twinkle now in Yuvraj's eyes is to become the person she loves the most. His expressions were worth noting when Kunj told him that Twinkle cannot even tolerate to look at his face at this point because of the amount of pain he has handed to her. >> Yuvraj is going to play the most wildest game till yet. He is going to follow the instructions this time to get to Twinkle. He is going to "sacrifice" his method of getting to twinkle by becoming a nice, caring, compassionate man and making it appear so as if he is redeeming himself. Twinkle wouldn't care for much as she literally wants to be left alone however Kunj's suspicion over Yuvraj, and Twinkle dealing with everything with normalcy is going to be cause of disturbance in the relationship of Kunj and Twinkle.
The war between Kunj and Yuvraj will now start. With both stepping outside there boundaries. Kunj has already broken his line of fire and Yuvraj's pretense of redeeming himself to get to Twinkle, to confuse Twinkle into thinking that he is still the person she fell for a year ago and dated seven years straight; has put both the men at an equal level.
Yesterday's song sequence has already indicated at a rift and misunderstanding bursting in between Kunj and Twinkle due to Kunj's insecurities resurfacing and him not having Twinkle by his side to brush those insecurities away becoming a cause for those insecurities to be heightened until Mahi returns to stand by Kunj to ask for justice for herself. Kunj and Mahi are the guardians and they are the ones to protect Twinkle from Yuvraj.
Kunj has been handed Twinkle very easily once again by Yuvraj. While he is destined to be with Twinkle, he needs to prove his worth. He needs to return Twinkle her belief in their love and make sure that that belief is strong as Twinkle's belief in Yuvraj's mannerisms is till this day.
Upon return to the Sarna household at night, it is not Leela, Bebe or Kunj by Twinkle's side but Usha who is wiping the gritty impact of the fire off Twinkle. Usha is Kunj's favorite woman and the most important woman in his life besides Twinkle. She is his mother and the only person who knows Kunj to the best extent. The one to make Twinkle realize about why Kunj's anger took him out of bounds and how his happiness is with Twinkle and only Twinkle. Usha is going to be the person to reunite Kunj and Twinkle in the truest sense after Yuvraj's facade of being a good person wears off.
>>> For Surjeet's postion in the current episode, I'll quote parts of my previous analyses that explain his importance:
EP 188:
Anita entered the Sarna house to ruin Twinkle's position and insulting and humiliation isn't enough to satisfy Anita Luthra in what she wants to pursue. Twinkle's past relationship is going to come forth her in every step from now on and it'll not be just because of Yuvraj but because the relationship has become a more significant pawn in Anita's strategy against the Tanejas to ruin Twinkle. It is important to note that Kunj no longer to consider Twinkle his responsibility. He is deeply, madly and crazily in love with her and despite being her husband, he is not the first man in Twinkle's life on a emotional scale which means a whole lot more. At one point or another Kunj will stand up against Twinkle in their own space, tired of her past coming between them and that realization of the Twinkle's past knocking doors will be hinted to Kunj by Anita's poisonous words. While his belief in Twinkle remains strong, the frustration of constantly dealing with the same thing over and over again will cause a rift between Twinkle and Kunj in future.
EP 191
One of the things that stood out to me was that despite interfering, Bebe was cast aside until the end when verdict on Anita's actions needed to be passed and the warning that Bebe ensured was that she will forget the last straw existing. She will forget that Anita is Surjeet's wife which ironically Anita herself seem to forget time to time. Why so? because Anita entered this house for a reason, not for love. Anita never intends to become Sarna. Anita is a Luthra and that's what she stands for in front of the world. I loved how she yelled her name clearly for everyone to understand that she is and will always be, Anita LUTHRA.
The throwing on Yvraj into the mud signified how Yuvraj, despite being nothing still walks with the arrogance of his obsession; that obsession would crush in his eyes with Twinkle showing him his true place and bringing all the wounds he inflicted on her to justice. That is where Yuvraj would allow himself to be redeemed, but the key to that redemption would be held by Twinkle who will instead of using it, will walk towards Kunj leaving Yuvraj to the place he craved for himself by going after something that did not belong to him at all.
Cherry stood behind Bebe, who was the person who seem quite happy with the decision Twinkle has taken. It showed that there will be no holding back Twinkle because all the limits have been crossed. Cherry standing in the scene emphasized that the Sarnas will finally acknowledge the fight Twinkle has taken on to defeat Yuvraj and make sure that he realizes that he holds not an ounce of value for anyone in the world. Kunj's silence in the whole ordeal hold more then it lets on. Kunj will stand by Twinkle in her every decision and thus he came forwards to silently embrace her. It is also the first time that Kunj has initiated a physical relationship with Twinkle; an action that just didn't scream him supporting her but also making Yuvraj realize that he will the ultimate choice and that he is the one who married Twinkle.
EP 200
The Yuvi-Anita scene was the highlight. The hug was amazing and everything but man, I have a thing for illogical sinister plans that are so genius but then fall plop.
Yuvi's first words to Anita are comparing him to monkeys in circus. Now monkeys are creatures that create balance in between humans and animals and circus signifies the division of life. He continues on about being deprived of "designer clothes, air conditioner and television." The term "designer" matters in the sequence of things he is frustrated at not having at his mercy in the past three days because these three objects are clear indication of greed and luxury. Don't forget that Yuvraj Luthra in his mind is a winner with everything at his mercy. His whole upbringing depended on materialism which is why he treated Twinkle like a doll instead of human. He also yells about not being able to eat chicken in his food. Butter Chicken and Chicken Biryani are foods that signify wealth of a person eating them. It signifies a glamorous and prosperous lifestyle and that glamorous lifestyle was provided to Yuvraj through Anita.
Salt is used to preserve taste in food. Boiled lentil and rice are staple food that provide with necessary energy. They are also a symbol of the 'circle of life' as without staple items, a person cannot survive off and live a healthy life. Anita complains at that point that her phone was taken away from her. Phone/Mobile is a symbol of communication in the modern world which evokes a more angry remark from Yuvraj as he is called out by the jailer and then by Yuvraj again as he points towards his the number on his shirt.
134 adds up to number 8=1+3+4 which is a number of new beginnings. 134 in itself signifies a person collecting all the negativity in their life and putting it all together to heal themselves and allow them to walk on to the new path. Yuvraj shows the number to Anita and calls out if she has left her lenses at home upon which Anita instead of realizing the sarcastic remarks of Yuvraj, gives him an idea on how to get out of the jail by choking on food. Chocking yourself signifies hatred of life.
The whole scene in the jail signified how Yuvraj will allow the negativity and the pain of rejection from Twinkle to dictate this last round of attack he is going to wage on Twinkle/Kunj and we all know that Yuvi's impulsive plans are all half-baked especially sine he operates on those plans without Anita. Anita and Yuvi separating over their goals will lead them to failure and the one to lead Anita to failure, who will make Anita realize what her fire of hatred has done to Yuvraj's life would be Yuvraj himself > pointing out if she lost her lenses and applauding her for being a mother without 'mamta.'
Couple of days ago I mentioned that Anita's time in Sarna mansion will soon come to an end because of the blames that keep piling up against her and the one to kick her out would be Surjeet instead of Bebe because she has been accepted into the Sarna family for Surjeet's happiness. The track is starting to gain momentum now and the one to disclose Anita's intentions to destroy the Sarnas associated with Tanejas would be none other then Yuvraj himself because of his frustrations and anger at not being able to get to Twinkle, which was the purpose of Anita being present in the Sarna house.
Yuvraj listens to his mom as he she recommends shifting to the hospital. A hospital signifies a place that provides healing but Anita taking Yuvi after making him choke himself, which translates into Yuvi's hatred for life without Twinkle reflects on Anita's failed efforts to bring her son back on the path they started out from. Yuvi's upbringing had so many flaws that his focus changes to everything that attracts him and Twinkle will remain focus of his life throughout. Once in the hospital, Yuvi lets himself free and is glad at the better condition then the cell he was thrown in, he starts playing with an apple.
EP 201
Bebe stepping onto the name of Kunj on the leaf by havan-kund indicated how she ultimately pushed Kunj this far in standing by Twinkle and while it had brought on really bad situation and circumstances, she'll make sure to mend the reasons because of which Kunj and Twinkle's relationship suffered. Also, her acceptance of Anita into the house has been instrumental in bringing Twinkle's past closer to her present.
The same was reflective once they got to the house and everyone was on the stairs. Twinkle alerted Bebe about the downfalls that would come in if she accepted Anita alongside with her and Kunj, the result wouldn't be pretty. The smashing of the kalash against the glass that pierced Kunj signified how Yuvi and Anita's return into the house had purified his relationship with Twinkle by erasing the misunderstandings but it also brought the negative shadows upon their relationship because of the quest of revenge that ran in the Luthras' blood.
Bebe is going to regret her decision to accept Anita as Surjeet's wife upon Anita's revelation which would follow in next two months at most. Not only did Surjeet will suffer another heartbreak but Kunj and Twinkle's life would be impacted deeply later on as well after Yuvi is thrown away by Kunj and Kunj avenging the justice for which he walked in and endangered himself for.
I wish I can find more snippets to make it more easier to understand but all I can say is that check the analyses from 182 onwards to make sense of this track.
The person to not allow Anita back into the mansion will defiantly be bebe however, the person to put a stamp of approval will be Cherry and Yuvraj himself. It'll be Yuvraj himself who'll stand up against his mother and blow the horn on her because of his realization that she has till date given him the wrong pathway towards Twinkle. Yuvraj is selfish. Even with him committing a sacrifice as big as he is intending to walk upon towards, he is thinking about himself and his way to Twinkle.
The episode has started off the face-off between Yuvraj and Kunj once and for all. It is unclear as of right now how long Yuvraj will keep his charade up but his mother will not sit by easily as this time, Twinkle "TANEJA" has not just stolen the Sarna family alliance from her but also her son. Anita is going to be losing everything in the war where Twinkle will ultimately find who is worthy to be her eternal partner. Kunj has been chosen repeatedly by Twinkle but things are going to get intense.
I wish I could be more clear. I feel this post is all over the place. The episode was really amazing. I'm very excited to se how the last phase of war subsidies and how far Yuvraj will go in his sacrifice to prove his love and how much longer will Kunj hold onto Twinkle's hand without imposing himself. Kunj's path to avenge justice for his wife is going to be incredibly rocky. Especially since he himself violated the terms upon which he could've been handed victory by Twinkle. Mahi's role in avenging this justice is going to be interesting to witness.
Sorry for late posting. Had an incredibly busy day however tomorrow I'm starting my shift later so might post few ours after the episode. PLEASE DO LEAVE your thoughts! I read every single person's thoughts and really wish we can have a good discussion over the episode.
