If ever there's been a person whose heart and mind are at war with each other, it's Rishi Singh Bedi. Todays episode highlighted this turmoil beautifully in all the scenes Rishi was in -- whether he was with Tanuja, Raj, or Rano, Rishi was fighting three different kind of battles with himself.
Coming to the TanShi scene which was one of the most beautiful Rishi&Tanuja scenes thus far ❤️ Rishi fought the ultimate battle between wanting to be near Tanuja and wanting to believe her but having the doubt in his mind about whether he should believe her or not. He didn't think she would ever do what she did -- how could she sit in the mandap with him and have good intentions while doing so? Rano left no stone unturned in reminding Rishi about who Tanuja really is and that is where Rishi begins to recoil and remind himself that he needs to hate Tanuja. I loved the fact that Tanuja stood up for herself and made sure that Rishi heard what she has to say by stopping him from leaving every time he tried to. The pulling back was heartwrenching!!! Rishi so wanted to leave but Tanuja made sure he heard her out. His face had all kinds of questions but hearing Tanuja give her explanations made him even more perplexed. What more did she want from him? She got what she supposedly wanted did she not? Why then, is she trying so hard to make him understand her? Rishi takes a few steps towards Tanuja and asks her "what should I believe?" He's had an onslaught of information thrown at him from all angles and he is caught in between the mess. He's been trying to make head or tail out of the situation and the last thing he wants is to see Tanuja give him her side of the story. He's already been fighting a battle with himself about not becoming close to this girl but he allowed himself to open up to her. That is why she caught onto his unspoken feelings. He cups her face so gently as if to say sweet words but what comes out is something Tanuja has heard one too many times, " listen to me, I believe what I see and your face isn't going to have any affect on me"... she gives him an equal reply, "that is what I want, for you to not go by my face but to look at my soul and judge me by it. Have you not felt the same way I have? We've been fighting the same battles Rishi. You say one thing but your heart says another."
That was more than enough for Rishi to handle so he backs away but notices the mangalsutra stuck to his sleeve. This scene was the most romantically heartbreaking scene because it shows you the effect Tanuja is having on Rishi to the point where he, in his confused state, apologizes to her and tells her he will put the mangalsutra back on. He doesn't even realize what he's doing and gets transported to another world with him and Tanu. He doesn't know that he is with his Tanu right in front of him but that connection is what's making him do what he's doing. They share a passionately sorrow-filled stare at each other and Rishi backs away. "I've put it on you" he says. Tanuja can't seem to understand what just got into Rishi. Rishi gets a call and in his realization he backs aways and runs out of the room leaving a perplexed Tanuja behind.
Beautifully written and portrayed scene by Sharad and Kratika!! Such passion in their turmoil that is so wonderfully enacted by the two. They just keep getting better and better! 😳
Rishi reaches the main hall and learns that Raj wants to speak to him. He, yet again, has to put up a brave face and go to his father knowing that he's in a fragile state. If only everyone else knew how Rishi is having to control his emotions for everybody else. Rishi comes to his father with smiles and laughter. He tries to pacify him and make him forget about what just transpired between his parents. The last thing he wants is to lose his father because of his attitude and behaviour and so he listens to his fathers plea. Raj admits that he did everything and that Tanuja is not at fault. Hes done all of this for Rishi's sake because he regrets not acceptig Tanu at the right time. Now that he's been given a second chance, he doesn't want to lose it. He asks Rishi for a promise, "you will give Tanuja a chance" he pleads. Again, Rishi has to fight within himself to accept his father's request and give his marriage a chance. Raj and Rishi share an emotional hug. This scene was so emotionally saddening because Raj only wants what's best for Rishi and to see him happy and Rishi has been trying to sacrifice his emotions for him. The father-son bond is lovely to see and how much Raj and Rishi love each other really shows.
Rishi heads over to speak to Rano (and funnily enough tells Tanuja to call her LOL!) This scene indicated that Rishi is now in a state of should I, shouldn't I? Raj made him keep a promise and it seemed Rishi willingly accepted even if it was for his father's health. In respect of that promise and for his father's health, Rishi has taken it into his hands that he will try and tame Rano and pacify her so that she doesn't create a ruckus in the home. How will he do this? By speaking to her in her own language. He's saying all the things Rano will want to hear and nod his head to all her questions. He's being smart here and trying to think for the betterment of his own sanity. He may not like Tanuja at the moment but that shouldn't overpower his feelings to the point that he creates a big scene like Rano did. He's already made that mistake before and this time he handled everything with maturity. Hats off to Rishi.
I know the rest of the night will be an uphill battle for TanShi in terms of all the mixed emotions and frustrations that they will have to deal with and the awkwardness they will have to face in terms of what that night means for them. It will surely be interesting and I look forward to this tense hate-love phase in their lives!
