Episode 165 - Blood Sweat and Tears

The Episode was a mixture of Drama and thrill

A mixture of Love and hate

The episode starts with the Vansh agreeing to let riddhima stay in the house.

Sia once again plays catalyst between Vansh and Riddhima.

While riddhima is relieved to get a chance to prove her innocence

Vansh is disturbed with her presence

And

the entire family irritated with the sudden turn of events

VANSH

A Strong man who was always a shield, a protector to his family.

A man who without any reluctance took the responsibilities of all of them.

Now stands broken, vulnerable at his best

while the entire family stands behind him [A beautiful set up]

To support or To backstab

Only time will tell.

Vansh plays his favorite sport which always provided him clarity.

Today he uses the same sport as a Magic 8 Ball to answer his questions and to predict his future,.

He wonders why Riddhima comes back every time

He asks why can't she leave him at peace

He asks why is he unable to remove her from his life

And every time he aims for the basket, He misses thus increasing his fear

Vansh, at his most vulnerable position cannot stand the thought of riddhima invading his life once again. Scared of falling for love again, Terrified of getting betrayed again,

And for the first time, lets his guard down in front of the family and sheds a few tears.

Rrahul was fantastic in the entire scene, i must say.

Riddhima, the always mentally strong, on the other hand patiently tends to sia, chatting with her about the events happening in the house.

Vansh casually approaches the scene and overhears his wife complaining about him to his sister. A normal occurence in many homes, Would have been funny if one doesn't consider the circumstances.

Vansh refuses to meet her eye and keeps his distance appointing her as a party planner cum doctor, taking us back to the first 10 episodes.

One can clearly see the effect she has on him especially when she states that "her vansh" can never go against his principles and marry someone else

Vansh promises that he will prove she doesn't matter to him anymore while

Riddhima promises Vansh to make sure he never forgets this year's makarsankranti.

And Kabir lurking in the shadows, waits for the perfect opportunity to execute his plan

DADI - The Blind Men and the Elephant

Okay so it is not riansh's plan. there goes another one of my theories down the drain. I am seriously starting to lose count.

Someone whose entire world revolves around vansh, someone who is one among the very few who genuinely love him stands helpless seeing her grandson, the protective shield of her family break down in pieces.

While everyone else in the house take this as just an opportunity to oust riddhima from the house, Dadi is the only person who understands the severity of the situation.

However, She fails to understand that there are always two sides for a story. She should have considered Riddhima's POV before coming to a conclusion.

The Chugalkor aunties.

The rai singhania ladies Ishani and Chachi along with the fake one acts as the chugalkor aunties of the apartment peeking around the neighbor's house for gossip.

Aryan plays the interested little boy patiently tagging along with his mother so that she would buy him ice cream when they get home.

Lohri, the first of the four day festival of makar sankranti where People discard old and negative items from their house and throw them in the fire praying for a new beginning.

Today, all the negative items between Riddhima and Vansh was thrown into the fire.

All the items that signifies not their love, but the mission for which she came in his life is burned to a crisp paving way for a fresh beginning with new memories.

Riddhima and Vansh once again stand in front of each other, fire engulfing between them

Riddhima shows him the reality that She could never go away from him

Like a shadow she will always be beside him.

And Vansh running from this very reality still refuses to see it and is at a loss of words.

I have always said Riddhima and Vansh needs to separate and its high time they do. Riddhima needs to leave VR Mansion. The relationship that was formed by force, deceit and lies needs to be broken. Things have evened out between Vansh and Riddhima

A betrayal for a betrayal

Now time for repentance.

Riddhima had done her part in this regard when vansh died

Now its Vansh's turn.

Only then will it be a clean slate

Only then will it pave way for a new beginning.

You are not alone

What you wrote is a lot from Vansh's POV! Maybe I am wrong but for a few glances I stole.. I didn't see him vulnerable or anything. He was in rage.. full of Rage.. for revenge. He never tried knowing her side and he deserves exactly what he did

Because i feel today was vansh's day. The emotions flowing inside him, the restlessness , the anxiety that she would be back in his life, the tears in his eyes i could see it all, i could feel it all. The stubborn way he was refusing to meet her eyes knowing that he would be lost if he did.

Both riddhima and vansh made the same mistake you are talking about. Not trying to know the other person's side. riddhima faced the consequences for that. Vansh will too.

I know everyone is so upset. The family plotting and kitchen drama. Guyz i know that was upsetting. But I think by now we should have been habituated with it. Its been happening since Anu was in the house.Ahana had just filled the shoes of Anu. And i have been watching tv shows when i was....let it b 😝😝😝😜 But u know what guyz u must keep an ignorance is bliss approach. There is no point of cribbing bcoz cvs had been doing this since the beginning of the show. Probably they want to show no matter what happens Riddhima will not buzz off and she is not gonna tone down. So keeping aside the kitchen drama lets focus on Riansh. To me a couple becomes soulmate in their hard times. Riddhima took vow to destroy Vansh,she did it knowingly or unknowingly. Vansh wanted to pay her back in equal but in double.Done Deal! He had also completed his revenge. Lets discuss some congruent points of today "s episode.

Siya

Not Dadi,but Siya since the beginning of the show was the chord and cupid of Riansh. The arc is now fulfilling. Vansh misunderstood that Riddhima was going to hurt her and throw a knife at her. That was the beginning of their lovestory. So again Siya 's illness has brought them face to face. They literally were sitting infront of each other and siya was in their middle a silent but poignant connector. It was Gods magic that he send his cupid to unite the two separated souls. Devoid of justfying Vansh 's action i just want u to point out something "Is it not a failure of The great VR?He proposed but Bappa disposed. It proved that They are made by God "s grace and God will never let them b separated. Vansh if u have seen carefully was not being able to meet Riddhima 's eyes as he knew he in an instant will get caught.His words and eyes did not match. He is same the grumpy baccha who is under a fixation of misconception.

Basket ball

Riddhima basket ball and Vansh are again three dots that to b joined. For the first time she had her candid laugh with Vansh in the Bb court. Riddhima challenged him in the same court and they confront each other about Kabir and Sejal. They reunite in the bb court where Vihan made her go jelly by reminding her that he is his Vansh.Even she gave him a cute phsiyo session. The man gets clarity in playing Bb. But he could not bcoz His mind was in a utter mess. How can he get that bcoz she actually is the reason of his clarity and peace.

The not so Great VR but Riddhima "s Kabir Singh 2.0.

The man who keeps everyone under his thumb was breaking shaking sweating. Can u believe can u see what impact she actually have on this man. After doing so much with her, after making her oust from his life he was supposed to b happy right! Then why the hell he was clarifying to Riddhima that he has moved on? Why u need to tell her if she means nothing to him. He must have thought that Riddhima will broke but it was he who was breaking actually. He was in frustration that why he is not happy despite hurting her so much.Its Vansh inner battle that was irritating him and he was taken aback at her conviction.Mera vansh kavi kisi aur shaadi nhi kar sakta!She has 200%belief on him that he can b a monster but the monster is monogamous.The harness lie in her hand and she will tame the beast.

The family

A family which is a parasite.They are afraid of their union. Ishani and Aryan rightly conjectured that Vansh who never bows down to nobody melts like a chocobar in the contact of his wifev. The girl even after the most talked betrayal can influence him thoroughly. The family is indeed toxic but Kings of a dynasty is usually alone. They rarely get a family. Aangre is loyal Dadi is dependent Only Siya is the guiding torch as she had never lose hope over Riansh ready to give her a chance before going to Coma. Riddhima is the really family of Vansh and she knows going away can b a easy way but staying to the ground will make things harder for him and easy for her. She needs to get back what is hers.As she said "Mein uspe kabza nhi kar rahi hoon jo mera nhi hai... Kan pakad k pati ko track pe lana vi Patni dharm hota hai.

The memoair of memories

We know that it was heart wrenching to see them burning. Vansh standing in a stoic face was even more heart breaking. But Lets watch it in a new light.The memories were attached with a sham marriage a marriage that was agenda driven and forceful. So to make a new beginning let the lies burn into ashes. Lohri ki pak aag mein chhal jhut aur sharya yantra jal k khak hua hai. (Lie Deception AND Conspiracy )has turned into ashes. And this also indicates the truth Riddhima said that there is no point of burning some random.stuffs. Bcoz her hold ;love ;her love her exsistence is too deep to get eliminate. Vansh and Riddhima both knows it. The last words told by Riddhima said about their relationship was too true to b denied Just Think about it!

It was like watching a revamp of the show's initial episodes. The reason for vansh to approach riddhima in the beginning was Sia. The reason for Vansh to let riddhima stay is Sia. And both the times it was Sia who helped Riddhima stay in the house. She has always acted as a catalyst in their relationship. Can't wait for her to get up.

Vansh, behind his stoic persona is scared and that was clearly visible today. That tears in his eyes, that shaking..Rrahul sudhir was fantastic man.

And i feel that the memories needed to be burned. Riddhima who with time embraced this life fails to understand you need to completely let go of the past to start afresh. There are many bitter memories attached to these things. She fails to understand to start a new life, she needs to get rid of all those negativity from their life. The relationship that was formed by deceit, force and lies also needs to be broken. All the things associated with it needs to be burned leaving no evidence of the past.

Now its Vansh's turn.

Fresh and different perception.......and completely unbiased. And I completely agree.

I know Riddhu is hurting and Vansh is the major driven force for that. But you can't ignore the complete picture by just looking at a small part of it.

All characters are true to their perception.

It's just that the negativity is too much in their relationship. Both are suffering in that fire of revenge and betrayal.

It's high time that there should be separation among them to know each other importance and their own importance and how much or does even their relationship matters to them or not.

I was bit disappointed after watching colors sneak peek video clip.

But when I heard Ishani's dialogue that lohri pe negativity jala deni chahiye and she was burning riddhima's wedding outfit I thought the makers were showing that the relationship that was built on lies was finally burnt down to ashes. And now they'll have a new beginning to their future. 😳
