I think I saw this episode slightly different from most of you and I know most of you won't agree with my views so please feel free to disagree. 😳
First of all my poor Vividha. Right now this girl is suffering the most. I know many people might feel that it's Atharv, but at this moment in time, he's got it the easiest. Yes, he fought his way back from death to be with Vividha but as far as he is concerned, his problems are over. He has no memory of what he's been through and most importantly he doesn't know Vividha is married. So he is in peaceful ignorance of all the problems that he is going to be facing. As far as he is concerned, he has come back to his Vividha and he just wants to marry her as soon as possible.
And Ravish.
When I started to watch the episode, I was dumbfounded when he told his family that they had to keep everything a secret from Atharv, especially the fact that he was now married to Vividha. And I thought to myself, what an idiot! Not again. Didn't Ravish remember the horrible impact all his lies had last time when he kept Atharv a secret from everyone. But as the episode wore on, one fact became glaringly obvious to me anyway.
Ravish loves Atharv more than he does Vividha.
Ravish would be fine if Vivi went away from his life, he would get over it. But not Atharv. His actions proved that to me today. From making sure that all evidences of the Vashisht name were removed from the mansion to asking Vividha to remove the mangal sutra, Ravish wanted to protect Atharv. Yes we all know that when Atharv finds out he's going to hate the fact that he was lied to. But Ravish is not Atharv. They are two different people with different personalities. Ravish is dealing with the situation in the way that he thinks is best. And the fact that he asked Vivi to remove that mangal sutra shows me that he will keep his word about getting Vitharv married.
And that brings us back to Vividha. Why did it seem that she was reluctant to take off the mangal sutra. Was she feeling guilty? Is she feeling in love with Ravish?
No, no and no.
Vivi didn't feel guilty, after all she was going to divorce Ravish anyway, nor did she have any epiphany either that she loved her husband. It was simple. The makers cannot afford to show their female lead happily handing it over to her nice husband so she could be with the man she loves. That would just make her look like a real heartless vamp. But the fact is, she was going to hand it over. She was willing to remove it because for her, it is a burden underneath in which she is being crushed.
Vividha is only her real self when she is with Atharv. So when he takes her by the hand to the mandap and tells her he can't wait anymore to get married she smiled. And when he tells her that he will whisk her away if he makes her wait next time, she blushed.
And despite that mangal sutra round her neck, she still can't keep away from him. As she caressed his face and hands gently reminiscing about how much he has been through to come back to her twice, she can't help but cry because his pain is her pain. And as she turned to leave, Atharv holds her from the back, telling her that he can't keep away from her much longer. And it takes every ounce of her being to stop from responding because in his arms, the world just melts away.
In the pre-cap, Vivi is slaying Uma who tells her not to break her marriage. This is the real Vivi. The one who will defy society and anyone else who will stop her from being with the man she loves.
