As usual your post give words to my feels for the episode and Vitharv.
I have not seen a single episode of this show which has not been upto the mark except some minor cliches which really being a tv show they hardly can avoid.
Coming to episode, Atharv doing rituals for his mother and he did wear his father's watch which is Virasat, Ramakant gave his pushtani ring for Vividha which conveys he only considered Atharv as his son by heart. Though he had messed his life a little more but somehow I feel his watch is gonna play a major role later.
Contrasting thoughts of 2 wives and what they had from the same person was so aptly done. I do think that Ramakants father thoughbis a strict man but a good man. I am having slightest hope from him.
Kailash ... the way I am short of all good adjectives for Atharv similarly I am short of all bad adjectives. This man is a creep, he is just behind money, he didnt even ask Ramakant what his son does, is he not handicapped or anydamn thing. Just want to get married Vividha to any rich guy. On top of that he reached to the family on his Asthi rituals.
Each passing day I so wish that it has to be Vividha who will give him back with interest.
