You are the best sister, she is the bahu of this house

Whereas Swa had the relation, she believes the relation exists. That of her and her brother. Her brother is dead. And even if he is a terrorist, she had every right to think about that past and atleast cry. Because something existed. Something was shared.

So though what Jaya said is contradictory what she did is right. Swa was lost in the room, but Jaya bought her to the present. Her reality. That she is the bahu of this house. So Swa does have the twin responsiblity. Yes she can be the best sister, but trying to be the best sister, she cannot jeopardize the role of her new bahu. She cannot jeopardize her new family's position, honor or in anyway imply the sacrifice of Abhay Sinha can be anything less. She has to do twin roles.

Without jeopardizing the honor of her new family, she has to go for the truth. Truth in such a way that principal or Adarsh will be with her. Open rebellion doesnt help. Because there is lot of power involved and it is idiotic to challenge the power centres directly without having preparations.

If you look whether in Ahuja case or in Banwari case she had the covert support of Adarsh and Suha. She won it because of them. Here also she needs them. And she has to work in such a way to get them. So I will as of now go with Priti's suggestion. That PIL is the best option for her.

For this radhika has to step in for truth to prevail.

I did not like the way jaya spoke to swadheenta, it was downright insensitive and inhuman. asad and her shared special bond, and it won't disappear overnight. she should atleast be allowed to cry in peace, that much is deserved. but maybe jaya thought a reality check through tough love is the way to go, still that line about respecting their love and affection was awful.

despite all that, it is amazing how swadheenta is still able walk and maintain composure. whereas adarsh cannot even function properly, I don't blame him though.

simmi's gut wrenching screams😔 brilliant acting.

If you see Jaya closely, she does close the door and talk to Swa. And she expects her to maintain the decorum. She has to be there. Else tongues will wage. Where is the new bahu. And it will hurt swa only.

Though the words she spoke was harsh, I would say she did the right duty as the eldest bahu. She protected Swa's honor as she didnt tell anything else to anyone else. Jaya will guide Swa through the mess. And Swa needs one.

Yes Mano Asad did tell she will be best DIL also. And thanks you found relief in my post. But for the show no relief is in sight, tonight it is going to be more intense.

Yesterday's episode for me was the game changer in many ways. It truly started setting the rules for what is going to happen hereafter, not just from a story perspective, but also from the point of view of each of the characters. But, the thing that took precedence for me was the fact that yesterday's episode was dedicated completely to the women of the show.

Man on Man. Where do we start

Simmi - The final acceptance that her dead husband was gone. The shock, the trauma, the disbelief and then the acceptance. Sarcy has suggested this earlier. And I have agreed with her then. I truly hope that Simmi shows her strength hereafter, not just for herself and the baby, but also for Swa. What she does and how she responds to the situation will change a lot of things for Swa

Jaya - I had missed the irony that she asked Swa to let go of something when she had held on to the non-existent relation forever. That gives me hope. Although she sounded that way, her intention was to make Swadheenta realize that she has multiple responsibilities now and that she cannot dawn only one hat. She is a daughter and a sister, but today she is also a wife and a daughter-in-law. She subtly told Swadheenta that she has to manage and balance all her relationships. May not seen significant, but how Swadheenta handles it hereafter will decide the course of their lives.

Suhasini - She simply drew the Dahleez yesterday when she held Swadheenta's hand and stopped her from meeting maami. What could be more of a game changer? Whether Swadheenta remains in the confines of the boundary drawn for her, or if she decides to break the shackles will decide every aspect. Abhay had said something earlier during the slap fest. Baat agar Simmi ya Ahuja ki hoti, toh koi problem hi nahi thi. Baat yeh hai ko Swadheenta ne mom ki baat ko challenge kiya hai. If she challenges Suha's decision again and steps out of the bounds, a lot of things are changing

Maami - A lost woman. Yesterday when I read the written update about how maami acted, I agreed with many that it was a wee bit selfish on her part to force her daughter to support her when there has been such a tragedy even in her daughter's place. But as always, I slept on it, and I feel differently this morning. Till yesterday this girl was her daughter. Today, Swadheenta's brother is dead, her father like maamu is in jail, and her mother like maami has been thrown out of her own house. She is literally on the streets now with no support, and this entire time, her daughter hasn't even seen her once. In a day's time can a daughter have gone so far away that she becomes unreachable? Did maami loose her daughter too the way she lost her son? Does her daughter also believe that they are perpetrators, the way the world seems to be seeing them at the moment? Is this even possible? Looking at it from her perspective, she did no wrong in asking Swadheenta if she really believes all that is being said about her family. If suha is her mom, maami is no less. But will maami's words make Swadheenta cross over the Dahleez drawn by Suhasini?

Swadheenta - I am so glad I am not in her shoes. Could someone be in a messier situation? As a matter of fact, I feel Abhay and Asad are in a better place than Swadheenta. She lost her brother, but she has not been allowed to grieve his loss. Her maamu is in jail, and she has not even processed that part of the truth. Her maami is on the streets and she is not being allowed to meet her. Her SIL has shown her a mirror with new responsibilities, another SIL is broken because she has been widowed, and her brother is being tagged responsible for it, her MIL has shown her a boundary that she cannot cross, and her maami is asking for her help. What is she to do? But what she does will create history!

I forget to mention the only hero in yesterday's episode. ASAD. You rock champ. You are the best! Salute 👏

But I was fuming at everyone in the Sinha family (barring Simmi) as well as on Swadheenta's parents.

Yes, the Sinha family is dealing with the loss of a loved one and that too in such a brutal fashion. But did even one of them, or at least Adarsh, put himself in Swadheenta's shoes? Forget Adarsh, did even Swadheenta's mother put herself in her daughter's place? Did Jaya even think twice before unceremoniously calling the brother-sister relationship as non-existent, put herself in Swadheenta's place? Doesn't everybody know about Asad's importance in Swadheenta's life? Were they not witness to the beautiful speech that Swadheenta gave after her wedding about Asad?

It is unfair for everybody to expect Swadheenta to forget the Gilani's and mourn for Abhay (not that she is not mourning his loss). And the poor girl can only mourn for her dead soul-brother in solitude, where nobody would hear her mourns. I wish Swadheenta's mom had shown a modicum of sensitivity and maturity. I wish she had given her a shoulder to cry on, to mourn for Asad. A girl can't build and sustain new relations without the support of the existing ones. Relationships are built in the heart, they are not easy to discard. Can't someone in her circle understand that much at least?

My heart goes out to Swadheenta, more so because everybody will understand Simi's grief, but no one will even bother to understand what is Swadheenta's situation. If each of the members of the Sinha family had put themselves in Swadheenta's place, they would have understood the amount of pain she is in. I just wish people around her could see her pain. Even if they believe that Asad is a terrorist, what stops them from sympathising with Swadheenta? Shouldn't they at least empathise with her because she has been faced with this cruel truth that her brother is a terrorist? All I see is everybody asking her to forget - as if forgetting is such a simple thing. And is it not shocking to find out that your brother is a terrorist? Wouldn't that be heart-breaking and traumatic to deal with? Can Adarsh not see it from that perspective at least, that his wife is in a kind of traumatic shock? I didn't see anyone lend a shoulder to her, no one.

I am not too sure if anybody will support her. As I see it, she might have a long lonely battle ahead. And I hope I am proven wrong.
