We all need to understand one thing. You cannot make a crow a swan. Whatever you do to make a fake gold, true gold fire will show the merit of gold for what it is. Only true gold can come shining more through the fire.
Friction shows the brightness of diamond and only the lamp that has inherent strength can stand against the strong winds.
Nature and nurture plays the part in creation of beautiful things. What Satrupa's daughter bought up by Shradh Pandit and Pandithayan has can never match what Avdhoot has.
What Vikram did was without testing the mettle of both contenders Anami and Avdhoot just because Avdhoot is male , as per tradition he will be heir. He choose his perceived truth than trying to lend an ear to Gayatri and Satrupa. Dont give Anami the right of being a heir right away. But what was the need to make Avdhoot the heir apparent. He wanted to satisfy his ego. He didnt wanted the 2 women to have their way. He himself knew what they were telling is true or if tested they will only win as Avdhoot looked an idiot in front of Anami when he was afraid to cut his finger and give drop of blood to the Goddess which Anami did with ease. Avdhoot couldnt even lift the sword properly. I was laughing when he was trying that 😆😆.
This is what happens when you take decision to satisfy your ego keeping at stake the lives of employees of your enterprise. Now to get what is rightfully hers, Anami will have to fight a battle as Vikram gave the chain to Avedhoot and he cannot back off even if later he knows Anami is competent. More than Pujan, Vikram will be the reason of the war. And he will have to live to witness this carnage as Dheeru said.
In MB also from my perspective more than Shakuni, I have always kept Bhishma the reason for war. Shakuni was a reactionary force that came with Gandhari when Bhishma threatened the king of Gandhar that if the princess of Gandhar is not given to the blind prince of Kuruvansh, then there can be a war.
In the name of keeping his word, he took 3 women from the swayamvara mandap and brought for his brother breaking the rules of swayamvara. Swayamavara means a woman's choice, a man can fight and take the women, but it is for him, not for giving to another man. Amba became a casualty.
When he broke tradition as per his wish, when Karna came first time, all the traditions became important. Finally this man had the ability to stop what happened to Panchali in the infamous hall of dice. He didnt in name of his vachan. Shakuni only utilized this hypocrite to meet his end, but he is called a villian, while Bhishma is Pitamah.
Here also Pujan is utilizing Vikram's ego only and he will continue to use it. So more than Pujan, Vikram is responsible for the mess. Now it is very clear Satrupa chose the boy because the respect for her in that house Vikram will give only as Vatsalya's mother. A care taker of the company till Vatsalya comes of age. Her decision as a woman wont be accepted.
And it is his ego that has created both Sudha and Dheeraj. Sudha the venom who has cast Anami in her spell. Dheeraj well he is not poison, but yes his son is the fire who has got the capacity to burn LM. The fire that can be quenched only by Anami which was shown in today episode when Anami throws bucket of water on Adhiraj.
And the difference between Narotham and Adhiraj is also that. Narotham is a puppet in Sudha's hand. He doesnt have individual voice. While Adhiraj's choice to fight out for what happened to his family is his personal choice. He is not a puppet and is a man of his own choice. He has his differences with his father. Father accepts the difference, still they share a loving rapport. For all the hungama Adhiraj raised with his dad, if his dad is unwell or injured he will be the first to rush to his side in true sense.
And I dont know whether Narotham will have the same for Sudha. She told one thing to Anami, if not today another day the blood of LM will show its true color. I only hope it turns true and Narotham switches side to support his sister than the crooked plans of his mother.
