Good morning sisterhood!🌻🌺🌻🌄
Some people inspire and others conspire - how true is that!
I refrained from posting yesterday because the glaring loophole in the plot is the basis for this entire set up -- that neither Sai nor Virat or any other family member in support of the wedding insisted on a basic background check of the man before deciding to marry off a mentally handicapped woman. The unreasonable silence over the presence of a daughter and complete lack of curiosity (even in Sai) was part of loose writing. Now that the makers think that viewer memory is short and can be distracted, the plot is proceeding.
So, on the face of it: The credit goes to the Makad Sena for their intelligence which Sai, despite being a topper, and Virat (sorry to say) being an IPS did not display right in the beginning, giving enough time to the perpetrators to replay their act of separating the two agonised lovers. The gang went a step ahead in unity-- plotted and planned and even executed their threat of stalling the wedding. It is clear that they have planted the proof to achieve a goal that's bigger than Devyani's wedding itself -- they want to use this incident as an opportunity to turn Virat and Sai against each other. Credit again to them- they have actually been able to read the nature of the husband and wife more than the two have been able to read the family members. Virat, of course, is conditioned over the years and naturally will not be able to see through his family's motives so soon. This is not about his belief in Vahini at all. It is about the family. But Sai, she has actually failed to read the minds of the family members despite being in the war zone all the time.
It takes me back to a lot of initial discussions we had when we spoke of the main contention between Virat and Sai being her 'all guns blazing' attitude. Sai, often gets into the arguement to win it without actually reading the situation and knowing when to stop arguing. She has not learnt the art of having the cold Khichdi except in the case of her one on one fights with Patralekha. She has not been able to read the weakness of the people standing in her way, ready to make her trip all the time. But their detractors have actually been able to see the weaknesses of both Sai and Virat. They know Sai will not back off when she's convinced and so, it is important to let Sai continue to be aware of the 'truth' while Virat can be manipulated with planted evidences and then pit against Sai. They are aware that Sai's confrontational nature will be enough to tick Virat off at some point.
Loose ends in the plot cannot be discounted for this and I am repeating this because it is inexplicable why no one wanted to know what happened in the past... Forget Virat, even Sai still doesn't know the story. What is stopping her from asking Pulkit to tell her the story of the separation with Devyani. Shouldn't it have been a natural conversation even after the letter was discussed in the college? It is still a blooper. The whole back story itself can have enough clue to end this misunderstanding. So the plot is indigestible.
Before going further with today's scene, I want to highlight my take away from Thursday's episode that I held back:
It appeared like a drag yesterday but it was to establish the 'trust' that Sai and Virat have in each other that will soon be broken. It wasn't for just a drag when Vahini made that super unnecessary phone call to Virat to tell him to abort the investigation and believe the letter before Sai does something. Virat's response was, "Agar Pulkit Tai ke liye Sahi aadmi Nahi hai toh main toh kya, Sai khud ye Shaadi Nahi hone degi."
It was juxtaposed with Sai's assurance to Pulkit after seeing the files in the college about "mujhe yakeen hai, sach Ka pata chalne ke baad Virat sir khud meri madad karnege aapki aur Devi tai ki Shaadi karane me..."
It is this trust that is the target of this particular misunderstanding along with the fact that the "Ghar ki izzat" has to be saved for Bhavani's dark actions of the past. There is no way that Virat and Sai can be left on the same team because they will eventually unite.
I would hate it if the story tells us that Vedi vahini performs apparition and visit the medical college to plant evidences of such kind. Bappa please have mercy to show that it was Omkar or Ninad who did it or some paid stooge of Bhavani's.
So in typical soap style the file was meant to show the planted proof to the hero. I hate to say this but Virat is a shoddy investigator (thank you makers for turning the IPS into a caricature). One, he doesn't mind misusing his uniform to get illegal access to someone's bank account details and also the employment details. When it comes to family matters (including unfounded jealously as a spouse) he can misuse the power his duty gives him. And two, he believes anything without going into the depths of it. So, of course, he does go by the name mentioned on the file in the college. That is fine and it is natural for him to believe it on the face of it. But even now, he doesn't want to know the details -- he actually believed a clerk who told him that Harini calls Madhuri "Maa" and so she's the biological mother 🙄😒🙄 This, despite the woman herself telling him that she's Pulkit's sister. How is the clerk in a bank more believable than a woman, who his instinct tells him is "acchi"? So, does he think that Pulkit married Sangeeta Deshpande as claimed in the letter and had a biological child with Madhuri as he 'believes' because the clerk says so since she's the 'guardian' on bank records? And doesn't it make him cringe why a woman would call herself a sister to a man if they have a biological child? Or does he actually believe that it could be as true as his "dosti" for Vahini? Why did he not misuse his power a little more since he already did it once to verify Harini's birth certificate since the account mentioned her birth date as 24/08/2010... It is likely she didn't have a regular birth certificate. What proof of age and parentage has Pulkit submitted in the bank? Wouldn't it clear the question? But no... 🤐🤐🤐
Wouldn't an IPS officer run a background check on the family by talking to immediate neighbours or other persons who would know? What does Harini's school record say? There is so much to explore to cross verify.
Coming back to today:
It is clear that Virat has gone by his half baked investigation because his family's opinion has clouded his vision. He made the same mistake as Sai in Madhuri's case but it's not convincing because he's not an 19 year old emotional or impulsive person. He was actually out to investigate with a supposedly cool head and armed with some information already.
So the confrontation in the zillat arena is a must on the appetizer list of Chavans. They don't eat meals without it, if at all they eat meals. The scene lacked the punch simply because the loopholes are too glaring to let go off. It's best if they just move on from this point to the next in the story. Baking a cake without baking powder is not going to make it rise😑😑
So the only highlight was of course what it was meant to be: the couple's disappointment in one another. Their belief that the other will find the truth/accept the truth came crashing when Virat turned up with 'misinformation' and Sai 'doubted' Virat's investigation. The ever ready pack of wolves waiting to prey on their 'love', jumped in at the right places. The gang seemed unusually calm, rehearsed and prepared for this. Obviously they were sure what Virat is going to come back with and he didn't disappoint them by going a mile further to verify anything more.
As planned, Virat bumped into the 'proof' and presented it from the side of the Makad Sena (so they were sure that he would first go to the medical college to find evidence?) And as expected, Sai stood her ground and questioned Virat too because 'main sach ke Saath khadi rehti hoon aur phir main ye Nahi dekhti ki saamne kaun khada hai'. The dialogues and provocations did not even need to be rehearsed because all of them are pro at instigating Virat against Sai. But Sonali pulls off another first-time below the belt comment about Sai's mother dying at child birth and her Aaba teaching her nothing but picking up fights -- that look of disgust from Virat was really not enough at that moment😖😡. His silence was appalling as always. It was Ashwini who spoke up as Sai was left hurt and tongue tied at the crass comment. But Virat must have already crossed the line of 'hangriness' with Sai's questions to remain mum at the absolutely uncalled for comment. He hasn't arrived at the point yet where he can stand up for his wife's honour even in moments when they are in disagreement with each other😖😷. As usual, when they are opposed to each other, anyone can get away by saying anything to her 👎👎 just any body with a mouth.
So obviously he has nothing to say when Bhavani tells off Sai for questioning the sabse Susheel bahu of the house about her constant interference in conversations between husband and wife and her unfailing need to instigate the husband against the wife. About Venom-wali Vahini, less said the better (thankfully, also in her dialogues) because there is nothing else she does or can do.
My heart went out to Devyani. Virat's anguish in the moment was visible for her. Somewhere, it did also feel that despite having 'seen' a document and being forced to say that Pulkit is not the right man, he wasn't happy about the turn of events. A part of him definitely wanted Pulkit to be right and the family wrong -- in a few moments he did also seem absolutely unconvinced himself about what he had found but 'evidence' is hard to deny. But his entire disappointment seemed to grow after he realised Sai was refusing to believe him. Only if he had done his work better right in the beginning... Ninad's "Bhai hone Ka farz nibhaya hai" is a misplaced pat on the back.
This race that the Makad Sena is running against whoever is not really about Devyani... Does anyone care about her anyway? She could have easily died of trauma during these years because no one even cared to look into her room once locked, until this dewdrop came around. No one is doing anything for her 'bhalaai' but for their own vested interests. Bhavani wants the complete power on the daughter (and also Virat) and her false image and pride, Ninad and Omkar will do anything for their Vahini -- they can't have any redemption, Sonali is only meant to pass taunts to add insult to injury and add voice to the Zor se Baar Baar jhoot bolo mantra (which is Hitler's by the way); and what to say about sabki Vahini --shes chosen to sin and chosen deception and kill to win a competition that she has not even qualified to contest. Even in cases of murder there are two sections and punishments in law -- one is culpable homicide not amounting to murder, i.e. when you kill someone but it wasn't planned or intended that way and happened due to the circumstances; and two is culpable homicide amounting to murder (the famous dafaa 302 of Bollywood) where the accused has intentionally murdered, knowing fully well that their action could lead to death of the other. Patralekha now falls in category-302, performing the act in complete knowledge of the sin that has been committed and furthering it to the point of no return.
The 'sad and sorry' faces of Sonali and Patralekha for Devyani's tears did not make any sense😖. As Leo Tolstoy said, "It is amazing how complete is the delusion that beauty is goodness." Except Ashwini and Mohit, no one really else felt bad for Devyani.
Frankly, Sai's open challenge to the family and declaration to Devyani that she will still get them married is dramatic and obtuse. She's not understanding the need to clear the air before making promises to the poor woman and standing up to Virat despite knowing that he has been misled by a very crafty team of elders (really don't want to give this credit to vahini, it's unbelievable she can be so intelligent when she's being so moronic about her own life). Sai still doesn't know about Pulkit's past except his word and the one record in college. What is the hurry to declare this war? 😣 In principle, the "concern" raised by the family after planting evidences is not wrong and Sai has nothing to back her belief. She did come across as foolhardy and it is absolutely right that Virat has no reason to believe her. She doesn't even know enough about Harini.
But the biggest question (to the endless list of bloopers): Even if Virat has got this information and apparent proof as well, why wouldn't he want to confront Pulkit with it and ask him to prove his innocence before declaring that "Shaadi Nahi Hogi"??? 🙄🙄🙄🙄 Even the worst of criminals is allowed defence before being punished... No one is condemned without a hearing... What happened to principles of natural justice?
So will his "khoon ke aansu rulaunga" pledge also apply to the actual criminals when the naked truth catches up with the well-dressed lie running around in that Chakram mansion? 😐
And, even now, no one wants to bring out the presence of a child in the discussions??? The gang pretending to not know her and the IPS officer dismissing her as a 'love child' of the man with another woman?! How funny! 😕🤯😣🙄🤐😑😒
*********
I guess even Bappa wants this horrible script to be fine tuned and has given them another chance to make up for this atrocious, unbelievable plot. Wish they can use this cooling off time in Neil's absence for some patch work on this track... There are so many ingredients to add to salvage this recipe that was cooking on high flame until this the moment. It is time to slow cook and let the ingredients blend. Hopefully sanity will prevail along with good health.
Who else will be 'missing' apart from Virat? 😅😅😅 Let's see...
For keeping sanity intact while it can be lost, here is some time and tested dose of caffeine ☕☕☕☕☕🍵🍵🍵🍵🍵 and oxytocin 🤗🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
And a melody to get the day going:
Hogi hame to rehmat ada
Dhoop kategi saaye tale...
Apni khuda se hai ye Dua
Manzil lagale humko gale
Jurrat sau baar rahe
Uncha Ikraar rahe
Zinda har pyar rahe....
Have a lovely day!
