Guys I watched the episode. Okay first of all, I am going to take this show lightly. I had a venting session with my boyfriend followed by an hour of yoga to calm myself down. This is not how crazy I want to get because of a mere entertainment show. 🤣 You all take it lightly too. It's just a ITV show at the end of the day and these are just characters. The characters turn in minutes because ITV writers suck. Here are my thoughts on the episodes:
Veer
I am trying to understand him. No one was home and Ranisa faked her illness. Ranisa is a fabulous actress clearly that she fooled a doctor himself. Veer saw her almost fall down the stairs. For someone who doesn't know the truth about her, he will naturally feel mad as to why the person he trusted couldn't wait a little bit by Ranisa who was "crazy sick". I get his perspective and I get his anger (as we all do).
But that does not mean what he did was okay. He hit his lowest point today in treating Rani. He has been shown to have that angry young man nature, especially when it comes to Ranisa. So for him to yell at anyone like that is "normal" or even hit them (he slapped Vikram twice because of Ranisa, though he will never do that with Rani). It's not exactly normal human behavior lol. But I have to say he really questioned Rani well as to why she couldn't wait just a little bit longer until someone else came home. Rani didn't have any answer to his questions, which made him get more angry. Note, I am merely trying to understand him, don't bash me 🤣 I really truly blame Rani that she didn't stand up for herself. I am not supporting his behavior but Rani should have given it back harder.
Rani
Rani is too naive. But she is smart enough to know when to tell the truth and when not to. She took Nandini's blame on her head. So for her to not tell Ranisa's truth at that moment and face Veer's anger is rather normal. She doesn't want to hurt him either and she did try to give it back to him twice during their yelling crap scene. But she doesn't have an evil mind like Ranisa so comprehending how to react in a situation like this takes time. She couldn't reveal the full truth so her giving it back was much harder. Now the nice part is she did exactly the opposite of what Ranisa wanted (Ranisa wanted her to tell the truth). Ranisa might be able to predict Veer's behavior but she cannot predict Rani's behavior. This will make her fall flat on her face REALLY SOON.
Birju
I LOVED BIRJU! PLEASE DO WATCH THE SECOND HALF OF THE EPISODE. He said exactly everything that we are saying in this forum. He said these are not your family members and that Veer is just a hypocrite. He also added that if they, including Veer, really considered you a family member, then things would be different, you would have been happy. He basically said everything we are saying, about Veer, about Rajawats, everyone. I really would love to translate his dialogues for you guys because they were that good. He even talked back at Rajmata and DV!!!!!!
HE WAS THE MAN OF THE EPISODE!! PLEASE WATCH HIS PART, it will make all of you happy. Veer also turned into a pussy cat in front of him like Shaila said. From Veer's expressions, especially when Birju said he came for Rani's birthday, Veer expressions looked just a slighttttt bit guilty. "Do you have any plans or do you plan to spend the whole day getting mad at her, yelling at her and blaming her?" BIRJU MY MAN 👏👏
Since Viku is now distracted, Birju is our voice. I just absolutely adored him today. PLEASE WATCH HIS PART, you will love it (skip everything before his entry pls).
Now coming back to ATBA overall. The writers are clearly idiots. I watched the episode with a calm mind trying to understand the characters. There is zero character development, no improvement in storyline, nothing nada. I can keep doing character analysis but eventually it will get boring if there is no development in anything. The writers are just repeating every single storyline. If they continue doing this, we will get bored really soon (WE ALREADY ARE).
Moreover, really NO ONE enjoys this saas bahu drama, NOT ONE PERSON. I saw the precap too as per Kate's post. They seem so adamant on keeping this saas bahu drama even after losing so many viewers, dropping TRPs and social media hate. Clearly they want to drive the show out of business lol. Well good for these psycho writers. I am way less attached. You drive the show out of business, it's better. I am sure Megha and Fahmaan will find themselves something much much better where their talent is built upon rather than misused to show shit.
