Okay! I have played catch up and now, I must share my opinions on the episode!
As said before, I agree with Sam on most points. I think everyone was called out for their behaviour, some in a subtle manner and others, in a not so subtle tone. I think she covered why and how everyone was called out so I don't have to do it. (Yay!🥳)
I agree with y'all that Kuhu's behaviour was totally uncalled for and it was wrong but I also do see why she did it. This has been her experience every time that Mishti says something to her but does something of her own accord. Mishti should not have messaged Ketu without discussing this with others, whatever the intent behind the message. That, I feel, was where the breach of pact happened. I feel Kuhu would have berated her for messaging Ketu as well, though not as aggressively. The talk with Meenakshi just made her fly off the handle.
In all of this, I do have to say I hate the way Mishti and the Maheshwaris talk to Kuhu. They treat her as some tantrum throwing child when she is not one. She has proven that multiple times. The problem starts when they start treating her as a child. They keep reinforcing that statement and she starts acting like one in return. I feel in this situation, the shift from sensible adult to tantrum child started after Holika dehen when Kunal told her to stop complaining like a kid, Varsha and BM came to her room and reinforced and reminded her of that feeling. She just needs someone to sit her down and listen to her once. As she said in the pool, that if you wanted to sort things out between us, you could have taken us to a coffee shop or a mall like adults rather than creating this elaborate plan and trying to bring the two together in life or death situations. The brothers think that the problem here is that the sisters haven't realised that they love each other in a conscious state. Such dum dums! Inko koi batao that they know they love each other deep down but their insecurities are much more stronger than the underlying love.
Coming to Kunal, I again agree with Sam on the point that this comes from years of practice with Meenu and Abir. It seems like Kunal has realised that his role of mediator is far from over. Rather, the responsibilities have doubled since the sisters became devrani-jethani. I may be reading too much into Kunal's behaviour here but bear with me as I narrate my theory.
He seems to be using his businessman brain and trying to divide and conquer the situations. He has realised that for the sisters to be together, he needs his brother and for his brother to be in his senses, he needs MishBir to patch up. So, first step complete. Second step probably involves talking to Kuhu. I am hoping that we'll get the conversation while Abir runs back to the resort on foot because car ki kya hi zaroorat hai. Wo to Kuhu ke backrest ke liye hi hai na #DufferChhokroKaDufferBro🤦🏻♀️. So, how I see Kunal's game plan is MishBir patch up leads to bhai on side for MishKu patch up leading to Kuhu's #mishtimania (thanks Clarity) getting over to her helping him with Meenu-Parul situation and then happily ever after with wife.
I doubt kunal ne itna socha hoga😛
Kunal has always been the last priority for himself and so I would assume that the person giving him that happiness would be too. If y'all remember, he had said ki "maine khud ko bohot importance de di, ab mai saari importance Kuhu ko dena chaahta hu". Well, in this scenario, it is implied that he has given his place to Kuhu and made himself go one step further than being the last priority. So, then kuhu takes second last place. The problem here being that Kuhu wants Kunal to be the first priority like she wants to be. She has always by default been second fiddle and Kunal decided to take that place. Kuhu wants both of them to feel and be important for everyone rather than being taken for granted whereas Kunal is happy with the place he has chosen because he knows no different but he likes it when he is someone's first priority apart from his brother. For example, when he said that he can't believe that someone can like him so much after burning the divorce papers.
yes Kunal is amazed that he is someone's first priority, but he is reluctant because this means kuhu is now going to fight for him & this might create imbalance in how things are in rjv house, thats why he said that 'aaj ke baad iss bare mein mat bolna kabhi', though to abir he said 'kaun kya karta hai iss baare mein hum baat nahi karte because we all love each other'
I hope this post made some sense because I think last para thoda jumble fumble ho gaya. Anyway, that was my basic takeaway from the episode.
