Vikram meets Betaal... Ishqbaaz way!
Undaunted, Vikky (vikram) climbs up the tree and hoists Betaal on his shoulder and starts his way! As always, Betaal who now is heavily into serials, has numerous questions. Let us see if Vikky is up to the task.
BT: Vikky, first Q... what do you think are the requirements for a security officer post in the Oberoi mansion?
VK: simple. They said so in the advertisement that they will provide a couple grey suits for each person along with a pair of sunglasses and a toy gun.. all one has to do after being selected is stand as statues.. that too at ease and not in attention. The only time when we are have to be on attention mode is when there is any danger for any family member. Then we have to draw our toy guns out and run and stand near the danger zone but this time in attention.
One other requirement was we turn the other way when any villain enters the house or premises. The earlier guys let in the ghar ka beti, then Gayatri multiple times and then Daksh was given a free run away from the house; they also let in fake dhol wala and that servant guy who used laser to cut Shivaay's room's big glass screen!
BT: perfect! Now next Q. how big is the Oberoi mansion?
VK: oh my! It is so so big you cannot even imagine. All villains have secret rooms in there! I strongly suspect that besides this serial's villains, bad folks from other serials too have found sanctuary in Oberoi Mansion. It is because they have a free passage in and out (thanks to security) plus they have the floor map of the building which even the house members are not aware of. I still remember Svetlana bringing in an icebox with the real Svetlana and somehow taking it in the underground room within Om's room! There was not even a staircase! We saw Svetlana, Rudra, Om and Gauri jumping but do you think they would have dropped the icebox with the real Svetlana in?
BT: hey, it is my duty to ask the questions here.
VK: ok, to continue, I strongly suspect Sultan's headquarters are below Dadi's room! Also, the building may house an in-house dispensary or clinic of their resident doctor. Gunshot wounds, stabbing, accidents, exposure to chemicals or gas leak, or heart attacks... they don't even have to go to the hospital. The doc just appears instantaneously and the victims get treated in their own rooms! Security must be really good!
BT: ok, enough of outlining their plus points. Coming to Svetlana? Which one is real and which one is fake? And when did this switch happen>?
VK: how do I know? I mean.. the writers themselves are keeping their options open. They just know there are two for now. What I don't understand is when they showed the real Svetlana requesting the doc to treat her friend, the real Svelana looks like a pundit's daughter! A seedha saadha ladki.. no oomph factor there!
BT: you haven't answered my question...
VK: wait, once they find the real Svetlana, we will get the answer. This again points to how big their mansion is. There is still Romi in one of the guest room, shayad in a coma! And hidden in the room is their pushteni haaram! Which Pinky does not miss much! Once they remember the necklace, they will go in search of Romi. Probably, the real Svetlana is also wandering around somewhere in the mansion! We should not forget that the evil Svetlana while pretending to be handicapped was waltzing in and around the house everywhere with none the wiser! Also, the Oberois have selective vision. They only see certain things or people! All evil people can wander around at any time! And no one will see them or the household help will look the other way! After all, their security is so tight!
BT: aah! Coming to Romi, I could never understand her motive. Earlier they let us assume she was a Kapoor?
VK: me too! Me too! They did show 3 girls with Mrs.Kapoor in the flashback shots. But then for some reason, they made her Robin's sister! Definitely, they are reserving the 3rd sister to come as a new villain around episode no. 1000!
BT: you are digressing, Vikky.. what was Romi's maksat?
VK: they did say she was avenging her brother's death but when she started snaring Rudy, wasn't Robin alive then? so what was her motive? Guess, she must be as shameless and greedy as her brother. After all, Robin was such a sweet and silent character that he went along with whatever his wife and sasuraal said! The sister must follow in his footsteps! We can wait and watch to see if Romi comes back again as a villain and then we will know! For that, she has to be found in that room!
BT: what do you think of the Oberoi's power?
VK couldn't hold it any longer. He put down Vetaal and started guffawing! So loud that the entire forest shook!
VK: amidst laughter... what power? The only power I have seen so far in when Shivaay conveniently twists Anika's arms now and then which his brother Om follows with Gauri. Oh, one can also talk about their muscle power while mixing dough in the kitchen for their pizzas and makki ka rotis! Besides that, they don't wield any power at all!
BT: but all those calls to the police commissioner?
VK: haa! The police ignore any requests from the Oberois! Shivaay and Tej have repeatedly been in a soup but the police did not lift a hand in their favor! In fact, I still die of laughter thinking of the time when the poor Oberois had to solve the suicide-video case (pukher raja) on their own. The oberois are all words and no action! In fact, the policewalas holds them in such poor light they even refused to return the video that Gayatri took from their safe! And the other ACP, Randhawa a nightmare for the Oberois! The oberois have no clout at all!
BT: what is this dhuniya ki saamne they keep talking about? I do not understand the fact that in all their family funcitons, they have more outside people who know that Shivaay was married to only Anika and not Tia.
VK: you know Vetaal, that has been in my mind too. Maybe the reporters represent duniya folks!
BT: humph! Did Shivaay-Anika divorce really happen? What do you think?
VK: actually, why was a divorce ever needed? No one knew Shivaay had married Anika... not in the legal sense. So why was a divorce needed? And don't they have a waiting period? Sorry.. I am supposed to provide answers. Will check with Gul or Harneet and get back to you. Thoda waqt dhedho!
Also, the paper is not legal unless it is submitted in court and accepted...
BT: Anika... such a nice lady! Long nose, no doubt... interfering in all matters including giving advise on how family members should stay together but still such a self-respecting kudhaari lady! Your thoughts?
VK: welll... She used to be for sure.. but I am still puzzled as to why she opted to stay in the oberoi mansion! These sentimental wife fools! When Shivaay gave her divorce papers first as pag phere ki rasam gift, she should have walked out! She makes Sahil decide! Ok, she missed one opportunity! Again, when Shivaay kept quiet after Tia accused Sahil of stealing her necklace, why didn't she leave? She should have.
BT: she did not have a house to go to. Remember Shivaay sold that house.
VK: I thought so too but remember when Shivaay accused her of sleeping with Daksh, she immediately goes to that house where Daksh attacks her again? Shivaay must have sold it to himself? Or sold to Anika/sahil? Again, to answer these Questions, I will have to send one of the writers to bring you down from the tree!
BT: what are your thoughts on Om? Yet to see such an honest person?
VK: he is only honest in the general sense. If it comes to his near and dear (not his dad for sure), he can keep quiet and not accuse. Remember Prinku and her accident? Also, when Anika came and said Shivaay was with her the night Gayatri was murdered, he spoke in high praise of Anika to Shivaay. And did not run to the police to say Shivaay was actually not with Anika. Such devotion and loyalty over honesty!
BT: how about Rudra?
VK: the writers themselves are royally confused. They show him as a biceps flexing imbecile clingy nonsense-spouting though charming guy in IB while showing him as a macho dabaang guy in DBO.
BT: whatever said and done, the Oberois are filthy rich and keep making more deals in thousands of crores! Just for that we need to watch IB.
VK: but of course! The only deal I have ever seen is that Saraswathi Steels done over making sandwich or pizza! Other than that, poor Shivaay has only time to walk around his pool or push Anika in it.
BT: you have got to give him credit. He also jumps in along with her though I could never fathom why?
VK: he needs chilling for all his anger. Plus he has to twist her arms na! if he is outside and anika in the water, he cannot do it!
BT: aah! You have given the correct answers. I am going back to my tree. One more last question for the day. Who is that third Kapoor daughter?
VK: I think it is actually Anika! They will find this out in the last scene.
BT: but Anika has chutki...
VK: actually Mr.Kapoor had a najayas beti that was chutki... while Anika is Ms.Kapoor
BT: do you think Shivaay will ever know he is najayas?
VK: of course he does! Penultimate episode they will reveal how he heard Pinky talking about this in 100 decibels with Shaktiji when Shivaay was just 2 years old and he has always known.
BT: so Omkara is also naajayas? Since that is what Shivaay believes?
VK: no, no! Shivaay though he has heard this when he was 2, has successfully blocked that memory and locked it up in his brain never to come out and that is the reason his inner self always talks of NKK. The lock to this secret chamber will open when he has the next heart attack.
BT: when heart attack happens, how can a brain's chamber open?
VK: DIL BOLE OBEROI; DHIMAAG BOLE NAJAYAS! Chalo!
Undaunted, Vikky (vikram) climbs up the tree and hoists Betaal on his shoulder and starts his way! As always, Betaal who now is heavily into serials, has numerous questions. Let us see if Vikky is up to the task.
