Honestly I was expecting so much more what with the hype of Aditya suddenly giving his marriage another chance, the kidnapping, the promo, Nisha's deviousness, the shadow man, etc. But I'm not very impressed.
Firstly what the hell has happened to Aditya?!! Like seriously this past week I've regretted ever considering Aditya different than the usual TV heroes. He's become the regressive, passive, side hero that most heroes on Indian TV are. I wanted some oomph man! I wanted him to tell Jhanvi what's going on. I wanted him to trust his Baba. I wanted him to trust his family. Like seriously. Okay let's take a deep breath and let me explain to you what I mean.
- Scene 1 - Nisha blackmails Aditya using his mother's photo and tells him to give the marriage another chance or else she'll kill Aditya's murder. Fine. Aditya gets scared.
- Scene 2 - The birthday scene. Yeah let's keep that as is. I accept.
- Scene 3 - Aditya goes to Jhanvi's house later. Not to give her money as Nisha had said, but to tell her what is going on. Or better yet, write everything on a paper and give it to Jhanvi on top of the money with a meaningful glance at it. Perfect.
- Scene 4 - Jhanvi tells Baba everything and finds out what Aditya's mother looks like. Then they bring Kaka and Kaki into their confidence.
- Scene 5 - The 3 elders keep Nisha busy as Jhanvi searches for proof in Nisha's room and finds something that can lead her to Aditya's mother.
- Scene 6 - Nisha herself leads Jhanvi to Aditya's mother.
- Scene 7 - Aditya also arrives at the scene and confronts Nisha. Jhanvi now stands back (also calling the police and taking photos as evidence).
- Scene 8 - Nisha gets arrested for kidnapping, Aditya's mother goes back home, and everything goes back to normal.
Yeah, yeah I know I'm expecting too much, but still this is not at all what I expected after what the CVs have shown. Up until the family knew about Nisha, yeah Aditya faced everything on his own, but now everyone knows. Aditya could have easily taken someone into his confidence if not Jhanvi.
Back to today's episode. Not much really happened for it to be called a mahaepisode. The real revelation would have been on the shadow man. Now that would be something I would have paid to see! But really by just showing this dhamkna back and forth wasn't much fun.
Jhanvi doesn't know anything and yet she threatens Nisha to reveal the truth in 12 hours else she will. I liked that Nisha played her game and didn't reveal anything to the family. Now the ball is in Jhanvi's court. Jhanvi has to do something or else Nisha will know that it was just dry threats.
One thing I absolutely hated about today's episode was the hit-and-miss between Aditya and his mother. I mean if someone comes to your door and you are offering to help him/her out, you would at least look at them once. This hit-and-miss situation was a bit too much for me to digest.
I'm not even going to spend time analyzing the situations today, but go straight to the precap. What a precap. Jhanvi meets Aditya's mother, who is weak and needs help, but Jhanvi doesn't recognize her. That's a bit too much to accept. The family considers she's dead. Wouldn't they have at least one photo of hers hanging somewhere in the house in a prominent place? Both my grandfathers are no more. One passed away almost 15 years ago and one last year. And we have photos of both hanging in a prominent place in our house. Fine let's suppose there is no photo. But now the story looks like it's going to follow the typical Indian TV show mentality, where the mother will stay at Jhanvi's house until she's better and then she'll leave and after she leaves then Jhanvi will find out who she is and then everyone will go on a hunt for her and even then Nisha will find her first and use her to threaten the family and...
Raghuvir sir and Sudeep ji if you are reading this then please please please don't let this show go down that typical path. Please! Show Aditya telling Jhanvi everything and Aditya meeting his mother at Jhanvi's place. Show the two of them joining hands against Nisha. Show who the shadow man. Show Baba meeting his wife. Show anything but the typical Indian TV show path. Please! I've been loving this show so far (and I can tell you that I hate anything that isn't atypical) and I don't want this show to become the same regressive drama that 90% of shows on TV today are. Please!
