Talk to me. RKC13

RKC attracted me through the mother daughter promo, but over the past 50+ episodes the team has given me a story that's more than about a mother daughter relationship. It's a chakravyuh as far as the story goes but more than that, setting aside the minor cliched stuff the writers resort to they're doing a fabulous work in terms of portraying family relationships. In an age and time where relationships on television are shown on extreme ends of the spectrum. Rkc relationships are so real, something I can relate to be it in Satrupa-Anami, Gayathri or best of all Dheeru with his kids.

Over the past few episodes almost all the characters and their relationships have been focussed on. Let me start with my favourite trio:

Dheeru-Adhiraj-Tanya "Everyone needs a house to live in, but a supportive family is what builds a home. Anthony Liccione

These three are family goals!! There was a time when they didn't have the privilege to share a house together because of circumstances but fate has brought them together and they've taken that second chance with arms open wide, creating a healthy happy home. All credits goes to Dheeru, his love for his children outweighs the hatred and revenge he has In his heart against the ones who destroyed not just him but his children too. His agenda against the people of the mahal prompted him to take advantage of information Adhiraj discussed with him, but that wasn't a father taking advantage of a son it was a man playing his cards well.

But as a father Dheeru took the time out to communicate with his son, he had the courage to expose his vulnerabilities to Adhiraj , not to manipulate or force his son to understand him but simply giving his child an opportunity to understand the father's perspective too.Adhiraj can't hold a grudge against the father,it was his duty to safeguard the confidential details.His carelessness proved beneficial to Dheerinder the businessman. It was a man to man exchange, Dheeru had no ulterior motives. He took what was available to execute his plans. Adhiraj has understood his own mistakes after that conversation with Anami and Dheeru's own conversations. That's why Janta Hawaldar has toned down and started giving that small split second smile to papa 😉

The same with Tanya, the wisdom with which he made Tanya understand the importance of moving on not to hold onto grudges and punish an innocent person for somebody else's mistake 👏 what a contrast to Sudha-Narottam relationship.

Satrupa-Anami : That strong mother doesn't tell her cub, Son, stay weak so the wolves can get you. She says, Toughen up, this is reality we are living in. Lauryn Hill

Satrupa as a woman and mother has always been an enigmatic character. The woman in her has tried time and again to convey to Anami that being the heir of RS is no small joke and that it's a big bad world out there where naivety has no chance to survive. But Anami has been rebuffing Satrupa's words. The mother in Satrupa has finally managed to get Anami to do her bidding without using the Pathak as trump card. Anami witnessed the importance of acknowledging and possessing position of power when she witnessed avdhoot taking over what is rightfully hers and the way he misused that position. It wasn't vatsalya but the injustice to Poonam that triggered in her mind the seed of thought that 'I belong here'. Anami's disregard for her grandmother ,mother's and Adhiraj's warnings will result in dire consequences. Some lessons have to be learnt the hard way!!

Vikram-Vatsalya-Anami :God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Reinhold Niebuhr

Vikramaditya is standing at a critical crossroad of his life. Accepting that Vatsalya is never coming back is a big step of acknowledging that the tides are changing and there's no going back. It's either Avdhoot or it's Anami. What I liked was his open mind to reconsider avdhoot and Anami's actions without any prejudice. A man of his age usually finds it difficult to accept that they're not in the right but here he's willing to atleast give a thought to the possibility of a change. Vikram has weathered many storms and challenges, he's still standing tall as the head of the family holding the family together. It's just a matter of time,he'll surely see who's perfect to take over from him.

Anami-Adhiraj; Friendship is always a sweet responsibility, never an opportunity. Khalil Gibran

There's been a blurring in the professional relationship they began with, they've both admitted to the other that they're now friends but their actions have contradicted their words. Adhiraj had taken friendship as an opportunity to get the sample for second DNA test and now Anami has kept Sudha's truth from him. The DNA test fiasco did create a rift in their growing bond, they overcame that and became better friends. But Sudha's truth has far worse consequences. Only time will tell if the two have become mature enough to enjoy the sweet responsibilities that comes with friendship.

Dheeru-Satrupa: The language of friendship is not words but meanings. Henry David Thoreau

"Tum manaa hi leti ho! " "Tum wahi karte ho jo tumhe theek lagta hai" Two lines that viewers can only speculate on but the two characters understood the meaning of the words. It's clear this friendship goes way back to the past, there's a sense of familiarity and mutual respect for the other.

Dheeru-Anami:My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. Clarence Budington Kelland

Anami had Murari Pathak an excellent father and mentor, a child can ever want. Now comes Dheeru who she easily equates to Murari Pathak. It'll be awesome to see Dheeru Anami bonding, the mentoring the way he'll help cut off some rough edges the jhalli of Banares posses 😆 😳 it's a pity Baldev has no interest in his child's life.



Special mention to the way the makers handled the Grieving scene of Vikram,Satrupa and Baldev. So natural nothing dramatic. A quiet acceptance by each one of them...the maturity Anami portrayed in handling them without being overbearing 👏
