Diya,

Of course a teen is a work in progress. For that matter all human beings are works in progress as nobody is perfect, but law is law and there is juvenile law to deal with underage offences. Each child is different, but in general children start understanding actions and their consequences at the age of 4 years. That's why we send them to school at that age because they are ready to follow rules and directions. At age 16, they are given driving licences, so a 14 year old Shaurya is not that underage to understand the consequences of speeding. As you said, Shaurya is responsible for that mistake and he needs to own up to it first no matter what is at stake. Forgiveness is a great thing and anybody who committed a crime by mistake deserves it, but we should also remember that closure is also as important for the family of the victim, who suffered because of the crime, whether intentional or negligent. When the offender escapes the law, the victim's family never gets a closure and they feel cheated of justice.

On a positive note, I am glad that in today's episode they showed that Shaurya feels guilty and wants to tell Mehak the truth in spite of Karuna leading him the wrong way, which is what I expect from him. Shaurya has an independent mind and he doesn't make decisions based on what others tell him to do. That was a big shocking revelation and he had little time to assimilate at the time of marriage, so his confusion is understandable. I liked today's episode.

Hi Rekha and Diya.

Even I liked the writing of yesterday's episode, especially the blood on his hands part. And I didn't like Karuna telling Mehak "even if he tries to tell you what's bothering him, don't listen". She's totally over the thin line of wanting them to be happy and being really cruel to Mehak. And yes, thank God Shaurya is really clear in his head that he needs to talk to her and tell her about it.

Must say the anger inducing liquid was super irritating. How do they think of such things? Lets promote both stupidity and superstition at the same time.

Anyway, I've realised that my ambivalence to the show is also because of this track. It is one thing to forgive the person responsible and acknowledge that it was an accident, but to live with them? Kiss them? Have kids with them? Thats a whole different level of forgiveness and forgetting. So just watching without trying to pre-empt what will happen next or judging. Lets see where they go with this.

Also after having grandly commented that I will not speculate, here I am speculating 😆

This is a show, and also a show that is usually fast paced. So basically even if this is the most important plot point of the show, that they always wanted to show ever since they started, they will have it for 2-3 weeks or a month max, unless she leaves him and they start from the beginning all over again. And in that time they have to find some resolution to this issue.

They can do that in a variety of ways. The one which they've used so often that they have emptied it of value is that he is in some life-threatening danger and she realises that even after all this she wants to be with him. Or he goes to jail to atone for his sin. Or he loses everything and she feels it her duty to just be by his side. Or he gets paralysed or something and she has to look after him. I'm not trying to be morbid, just thinking of the ways in which they can bring them together without just saying "it doesn't matter any more because some time has passed."

Or he didn't do it in the first place. That is another option. Very filmi, but a safe way out for them, And with enough potential to do lots of drama.

Absolutely! Karuna needs to understand that lying does not do any good to anyone. The issue here is really grave and one is tempted to cover up and save people who matter the most, but how does she expect Shaurya to be happy if he has to face the girl, whose parents he killed in the accident, everyday for the rest of his life?!

Regarding the anger inducing medicine, I just ignore the whole bunch of vamps these days! I just don't connect to them at all! I liked the episode only for Shaurya and Mehak.

@bold my thoughts exactly!

You when he's drinking Shaurya had a voiceover "Until I tell her everything, I can't even look into Mehak's eyes". That's it. That's exactly it!

Agree, this track has so much potential,
Instead of feeling complete with the happiness, Shaurya was left feeling incomplete, time warped & stretched, turning everything around him fluid and meaningless, his whole world shrank at an accelerating rate,as if there is one man in the centre of eternity, one blast from the past & his dreams of a happy future turned into a living nightmare, all because of the past that eventually caught up with him !!
Shaurya will be feeling like a helpless prey stalked around with no place to run or hide,it's the war within, with his conscience on one hand and his life,his love on the other ..the question is will he be able to build a future of love and happiness on the foundation of death and deceit 😕
Love is asking him to pay the biggest price & leave it to Mehak whether she will buy or not,it's not for him to bargain anymore

How cruel a fate! If the CVs want to eventually show a life together for these two, they really have their work cut out ahead of them now. They have to give us a redemption story line like none other and have the leads deliver it to us. Anything less, they will have the viewers drop out one by one. That is the beauty of a story like this. People react to it on a personal level and it touch them deep. What that also means for makers is they have to proceed with caution maintaining a right balance of all things...The potential here really excites me...😊

Hi Vedika and Rekha,

Relpying to both in one...

Regarding the underage driving - To call it a menace is an understatement. I see kids as young as 10 driving and it scares the bejesus out of me. I am appalled at how parents can be so casual about it, even encourage them with fancy cars at that young an age. The law, as is today is archaic and has so many loop holes that both parents and the kids can get away with minimum punishment. The new bill proposal along with the JV laws that was passed after the Nirbhaya case would put a lot of onus on parent and would make them equally guilty. You give the drugs or drinks to a child, you are guilty of the crime, you put a kid behind the wheels - again you are guilty of the crime and whatever follows. The juvenile laws allows discretion to be tried as adults only for 16-18 year olds and that too only in the recent amendment. I am not a lawyer and don't speak legal, so do take this citing of laws with that in mind 😊. But, there are aspects of this here that is very close to my heart and I can bore one endlessly. But, I will stop here with my stance still that 14 year old is still a child and doesn't have the mental growth to make these decisions and the punishment should take that into consideration. I mean no offense Rekha when I disagree here, I really hope you don't read it that way. I can understand and appreciate the other point of view, but this just my belief system on this issue.

And now coming back to the show - yes, I cannot imagine being in love and living with someone who was responsible for yanking the very ground I stood on. The redemption track excites me for the drama it promises. But, what I was trying to say is - for me to even appreciate the drama and somewhere understand it I need to see all these emotions and growth in his character. Absolving him of this is another level altogether that I cannot even comprehend.

I was happy to see Showrya struggle thro this, but stay very clear on the fact the he has to own up. I remember Karuna saying the first day to give her so much happiness and love to compensate for this (to that effect). And it struck me as true, but I still kept thinking that is not making amends...It would be to own up to what he has done and surrender completely to her. Vedika, some of the tracks you mention on how they can proceed after this confession sound very promising...😊

I did enjoy yesterday's episode too but for the maami, maasi and naani. And I don't even want to see today's because of that horrible preview. They have enough drama on their hands without needing these characters...
