Last week was beautiful .. Harman's Noor-e-khuda sequence , Saumya's dramatic kidnap , All those HaYa hit and miss moments in Pattaya market , Maharani's hilarious intro .. It was complete package .. Bangkok track is one of the best for Shakti 👏 .. Complete focus on HaYa and so trps r the result ..
We often say trp viewers dont understand good shows .. I think its nonsense .. if u give good drama and focus on leads , trps r bound to come .. I think 45 mins episodes r also one of the major reason for huge trps as viewership time increases and so it automatically results in trp rise too , reason why those weekend 1 hr shows do so well .. so next week we might see slight decline as this week we r getting all 30 min episodes .. but the good thing is for last few weeks we r pretty consistent in the range of 2.4 plus and above 👍🏼
Let me talk about Yesterday's Episode now .. I hv mixed feelings about the Episode .. While I really enjoyed the Bangkok climax and how it finished with HaYa both praying in Bangkok temple 😳 , I was equally disappointed with forced entry of Preeto in HaYa track again .. I wanted this entire misunderstanding and love-hate track to b just HaYa focussed but it seems CVs will hv to forcefully include Preeto everywhere 😡 .. Its a fight between Saumya's identity vs Harman's fear and possessiveness which resulted in the misunderstanding and it should hv remained like that only .. Why the need to show Preeto again making Saumya dance to her tunes 👎🏼 .. I m sorry but that flashback where Preeto is further brainwashing Saumya looked quite lame to me ..
Mayb the flashback could hv come towards the climax of this misunderstanding track when Saumya finds out the truth and recalls this flashback of how Preeto tried to brainwash her , it would hv left more impact than showing this flashback so soon as throughout this love-hate track, I will feel that its Preeto's influence which is the reason of this track and not Saumya's identity ...
I will first talk about the best part of the episode that is Bangkok track climax 😳...
Harman as usual continue to b on a roll as he beats the hell out of Avinash and I loved how Harman tells Avinash that he should b ashamed for selling someone's mother and sister here in abroad .. Thats a very good dialogue 👏 .. Finally that guide comes with Thai police and Maharani/Avinash r arrested 🥳 but Harman's eyes were fanatically looking for his Gulabo as he hear some scream of girls and was finally relieved to see her 😳... Harman could see that Saumya is feeling uncomfortable in that gown , so he quickly puts his jacket on her which got to b my favourite moment in the episode 😳 ; This simple scene yet again proves that Harman loves Saumya's soul and not just her beauty 😳 ;

Saumya was completely shaken up after all the action and gunshots which Harman realises and so he tightly hugs his Gulabo by resting her head on his chest ..awww ; Saumya finally finds some peace and warmth in her Harmanji's arms and for that split second forgets all her anger 😳 ; Harman then cups her face and tells her in possessive tone that he will never let her go away from him as she looks at him with moist eyes ; She tried her best to make him hate her but in the end Harman's love won over that same hate ; Harman was so relieved holding Saumya in his arms as if he just got his breath back 😳 ; It was a peaceful moment of bliss for both as they felt each other's fragrance during the hug ; Once again thank u to the editor for not chopping off the hug ..pheww 😆 but I wish the camera angle during the hug was as good as the SBAS angle 🤔 ; Also when Harman plants a little kiss on Saumya's head while hugging her , the moment should hv been highlighted in the episode but as usual the hug was rushed and so we could not even properly see the little kiss 😡.. Anyways at least the hug was shown 😆



Loved what hat other girl told Saumya about Harman being her Maseeha and so she should never leave him 👍🏼 ; I wish Saumya later recalls this dialogue of that girl and also realises his value in her life and stop listening to others like Preeto
I was not expecting HaYa temple scene in Bangkok , so it came like a pleasant surprise for me when HaYa went to pray there with the guide 👍🏼 ; Loved what that guide told Harman that next time they should not come for such adventure trip but instead come for a good outing ,then he can give them a free tour 😉😆 ; Hope CVs in future do remember this and send HaYa for a honeymoon in Bangkok .. I know wishful thinking , but still 😆... Everything was going fine for HaYa till Saumya gives another shocker to Harman by calling him Malik (Boss) thus reminding him that he has only brought her and she is not his wife anymore 😔 ; Harman realised that in anger he ended up doing another blunder by calling her his property 😆 but I really loved the self belief and patience of Harman here as he prayed to God that he will once again win his Gulabo's heart and make her realise her love for him again 👏 ; He understands that she is doing everything in anger and so he is ready to b patient and win back her trust again 👍🏼 ...

Till this point I was really enjoying the cute little banters between HaYa even after they return back to Singh house and Harman told everyone that Saumya will b my Ghulam now ; Well if Saumya can call him Malik then Harman too can address her as Ghulam in return na 😆 as this was the only option left to forcibly keep Saumya with him🤔 ; This is what we call a Tashan track between a couple , so all was going good till here 😎 ; In fact I literally got goosebumps when HaYa entered Singh house and that Shakti title song started playing thus indicating the strength of Harman's love 👍🏼 ; And I also loved how Harman told everyone that noone will ask any question to Saumya about where she went or why she went and he dint even tell Preeto anything about Bangkok fiasco as he wanted to safeguard Saumya's image here as a husband and not let anyone know that she went onto sell herself , thats why he is husband goals 👏 ; So everything was going according to what I expected in this love-hate track with Harman showing his dominance over Saumya to win back her trust again and also to protect her 👍🏼 ...

But but but In comes Preeto and spoils it all 💔 ; After Harman throws Saumya on bed and warns her that she will follow his orders from now onwards and then leaves , I knew Preeto will come with her Torture Chamber nonsense again 😡 ; And then comes that lame flashback where we can see that Preeto once again forced Saumya to leave the house or else mayb she would not hv left overnight without meeting Harman ;
Though I hated the flashback but I m must admit that Preeto does hv this quality of being a great manipulator with her words 😲 ; I actually heard the dialogues carefully and I can totally understand why that forced Saumya to leave the house overnight ; First Preeto tells Saumya that look I was right , Harman loves your beauty only but cannot accept your identity which unfortunately what Harman too told her few hours back to hide his fears , something that we know but Saumya was unaware of his fears ; Then Preeto tells Saumya that tomorrow if society finds out that she is a kinner then they will accuse her for ruining a man's life and also ruining the entire generation of this family but that time Harman wont b there with her to defend her as today he himself refused to accept her with her identity , so then in that case what will she do , can she face those questions and hate of society with Harman not on her side ?? 🤔 ; After these strong words of Preeto , what Saumya feels is tomorrow Harman may not b there with her to defend her identity in front of society when this society will question or accuse her in case her truth comes out , because if Harman is not ready to accept her with her identity today, then how can he face this society in future when society will question her ? ; And this is exactly what Saumya told Harman after he buys her in Bangkok ; She told him that its better to live in this hell than face the hatred of society there as he is not ready to accept her identity , so basically these r Preeto's words put in her mind ;
Saumya fears that tomorrow if her truth comes out , Harman wont b on her side as he is already running away from her identity , so she will b left alone to face the society in future, and thats why she feels its better I run away from him now only than suffer such a heartbreak in future ; This is the reason why she tells herself that our way of loving is different as Harman wants to love me by keeping me with him and I want to love him but going away from him 😭 ; This is actually similar to Harman's fear ... Just like Harman fears loosing Saumya after the kinner's death incident , similarly Saumya fears loosing Harman's support in case her truth tomorrow comes out in front of society assuming that Harman wont stand with her to support her identity then ; Just like Harman today has overcome his fears after loosing her and now have no issues in accepting that Saumya , a kinner is his wife now in front of Avinash and company , he does proudly tell everyone there she is his wife 👍🏼 , similarly Saumya will hv to overcome her fears and realise that tomorrow if society questions or accuses her , Harman will always stand by her ; But she will realise this only when she will see that despite making so many attempts to make him hate her , he is still standing by her and protecting her ; And once she realises this and overcomes her fear that Preeto has put in her mind , we might then finally see her redemption which might begin with Saumya first exposing Preeto and then finally confessing that she wants to now live as Harman's lover/wife only 😳 ; We might then get to see the lover in Saumya who will shower all her love on an Angry Harman ..
So even though CVs forcibly showed Preeto brainwashing and her torture on Saumya yet again , but I feel thats not the complete reason why she left the house ; The main reason is the fear that resides in her heart regarding what if Harman dont stand by her side if tomorrow society finds out I m a kinner as he dont want to accept my identity today .. And Preeto only escalated this fear further with her strong words but the fear was already within her after Harman's harsh words that night and this fear resulted in Saumya leaving house ...
We can argue that why cant she trust Harman and always assume wrong about him .. Here I can say fear is something that often takes a toll on our thinking power .. Harman too feared loosing Saumya after seeing the tragic death of a kinner and after that he went onto do many extreme things like even deciding to settle abroad forever ; Similarly Saumya's fear is resulting in her doing all these extreme things which right now makes no sense ..Its the fear which she has to overcome to restore her trust in Harman again
All I want is CVs to just focus on Harman and Saumya's emotions here in this love-hate track instead of turning into another repitative track of Saumya becoming Preeto's puppet .. Preeto is not needed here .. Its a fight between Harman's love and Saumya's fear .. Let it remain like that , dont force Preeto on us
Coming to last part , once again Harman pours his heart out to himself when he says Saumya is in his hand like a lifeline but she is not in his grip whenever he tries to close his hand 😭 ; Really felt bad for him when he says whenever she goes away from him , his heart stops beating too 😭 ; He confessed today that he loves Saumya more than his life and can never let her go away from him ..He was hurt that she tried to sell herself when he has already put his stamp on her heart , he was like how dare can she even think of putting someone else's stamp on her ; No wonder even in precap he is taunting her about it and rightly so , its his hurt speaking .. I really hope he finds out how Preeto is again trying her manipulating games .. I trust Harman's intelligence here to find out ; Vivian was excellent in this scene with his voice modulation and the pain that he shows in his eyes , pain of Saumya not understand his love 😭


Overall I liked the Bangkok parts and though disliked the Preeto part , but to some extent it made me realise the exact problem of Saumya ...I hope coming episodes r more HaYa focussed just like the Precap where Harman is pulling out a Nimmi act and tieing up Saumya with him 😆😳

PS :Forgot to mention , Genuinely loved Harak's happy smiling face seeing his son back .. for a moment he focussed on his son's comeback and not on Saumya 👍🏼unlike Preeto who gave that sulking look of defeat
