Today's Akshan scenes somewhat reminded me of the movie movie "Bhagban" where Amitabh & Hema get separated by their kids for 1st time in their life after their marriage of 40 years.
Coming to the episode,
There is no shaq Jindal saab is a gem.
I have no words to praise him.
How many men in real do what he wanted to do today ?
But unlike just any men, Guddu's husband isn't just her husband, he is a father too & has huge reputation in the society. How could she let the society question & point finger at his parvarish like, "Jindal saab ke beton ne Jindal saab ko ghar se nikaal diya !!" ?
For her, Jindal saab is her crown that she wears with pride but she can't take away just the crown removing all the jewels adorned on it. She takes pride in being wife of mahan Akshat Jindal & can't hear his name or reputation being tainted.
But yes I can see very clearly that, had the son & bahus disrespected him in place of her, then she herself would have taken the authority & kicked them out without any hesitance. Just like how, Hema Malini disowns her sons in "Bhagban" for hurting her husband.
And in that case, I believe, Guddu won't have let herself or her Jindal saab leave his own house.
About Guddu coming back in such a short time period, I would say Guddu is "selfish" .
"Selfish" for him. Selfish to be with her Jindal saab.
Aur honi bhi chaiye !
He is everything she has craved all her life. How can she leave him for long when he looks at her like that,


Her dialogue says it all,
"Jaldi aa jayenge Jindal saab, aapne dost se dur hum bhi nahi reh sakte...."
I love how she keeps coming back to him as that proves, how difficult it is for her to stay far from him. Even though I knew due to spoilers that Guddu is coming back, but still I can feel AJ's pain of having to let her go...


It looked like his life is draining out of him...
I would say nothing is worth leaving him especially after the immense support he gives her. He doesn't deserve any of these.
At least I don't have the strength to watch him like this when there is zero fault of his & maybe so does Guddu. She too can't bear to leave him like that. Especially after yesterday's bedroom scene when she saw how miserable he was,


Why to punish him ? Her heart won't allow that. He who always has been her pillar of strength, she can't see him broken. Her heart aches to heal him in anyway she can. She is the one who always listens to her heart rather than her mind & her heart won't let her leave her Jindal saab in this miserable state for long.
When AJ goes to pool side & recalls the memories of their date reminded me of, the scene in Bhagban when Amitabh doesn't get the chance to use phone as his son was busy, so he goes out to PCO to call his wife as she waits for his call cause she can't sleep & then he sings on phone,
Main yaha tu wahan, Zindagi hai kaha.....
Main yaha tu wahan, Zindagi hai kaha.....
Tu hi tu hai sanam dekhta hoon jaha...
Neend aati nahi, yaad jati nahi.....
Neend aati nahi, yaad jati nahi.....
Bin tere ab jiya jaye naaa......
Main yaha tu wahan, Zindagi hai kaha.....
Then says these lines,
Waqt Jaise Thehar Gaya Hai Yehi,
Har Taraf Ek Ajab Udaasi Hai
Bekarari Kaa Aisa Aalam Hai,
Jism Tanhaa Hai Ruhh Pyaasi Hai...
And it seems like Guddu understood his state. She knew he will be bothered & restless for her, given the circumstances in which she left the house. So she decided to give him an idea of how far she is i.e. 42.9 km to assure him she is alright & since the watch is powered by heart beat, he knows she is ok.

That gave him a relief to some extent as reflected by the smile on his face. And this gave the same sort of relief to her as well as she was able to give him some of that to calm his restlessness,


But this wasn't enough, cause at this moment, more than anything, both of them just wanted to be with each other,

She has become his "aadat" & so has he for her. Both have become like oxygen for each other. The simple thought of having to stay away from each other, suffocates them. How long can one bear suffocation ?
Now coming to the title of the topic,
Yes according to me, Guddan is in vanvas !
Leaving one's actual self behind & adopting some other personality that doesn't come naturally & isn't one's real self, can be taken as similar to vanvaas. Cause the Lalita Pawar avtar she has taken isn't her own true self.
That isn't her soul, her soul is in vanvas. She is confining her real self in "van".
Doing something against one true nature that one herself doesn't support of, is not easy the least.
Just like vanvaas was filled with hardship, for someone as pure as her, as innocent as her, who can't think of hurting a cockroach, taking up a completely different personality that is completely opposite of her own & intentionally hurting people even if its for a day or two, is no less of hardship for her but very much equivalent to "vanvas".
But difference here is, her husband isn't that Ram, her husband is with her in her vanvaas. As can be seen from the precap, she is in her actual self in front her husband, her Jindal saab.
& the terrace is her "van" now, where she is in her real & true self.
Today when she returned, she called herself, "AJ ki patni" not "Jindal saab ki patni" cause "Jindal saab ki patni" along with her Jindal saab is in vanvas i.e. terrace pe on the pool kinara.
A free ka advice to all :-
If any of you haven't watched this movie "Bhagban", please don't watch it with your parents. 😒 Bohat comparisons sehen karne padte hai !
1st your parents will start looking out for similarities that you have with Aman & other 3 useless sons. Later, they will express their disappointment on how, you can never be Salman... 😔
But yes the movie is definitely worth the watch ⭐️👍🏼
