I'm sorry for being MIA but it sorta became repetitive drag / filler episodes for the past few days until a member mentioned that Malharao re-entered the show today. Plus, my schedule was quite hectic and some health issues.
Now, I know there is more than one side to the story, therefore, I decided to open up this topic for getting some opinions.
I know that the popular opinion would say that Gautamabai is an fearful MIL who gave Ahilyabai a difficult task to pulverize turmeric as a result for confiding matters to Sarja, who was labeled as an outsider. Feeling pity on Ahilya was comprehensible because, given the past few days, Gautamabai and Khanderao kept on exerting their denial mode/superiority complex on Ahilya for the past couple of days thereby exacerbating the conflict.
I think today's episode definitely had also developed an unpopular opinion which I consider would be a valuable lesson for Ahilyabai as she grows more wiser with passing time. Usually, people like to describe about the affliction from when cornered by challenges/under pressure. Similarly, Ahilyabai performed something similar wherein she bore the pain from pulverizing turmeric and her wounds/scars were constantly making her reflect from a negative perspective. Maybe Harkubai postulating that Gautamabai cares for Ahilyabai would make people loathe & she would get criticized for saying such words. However, observing this from the flip side of the situation, I feel this lesson would be reminiscent to Ahilya as a leader wherein she learns to take control of political matters in the future when she grows as a leader. I have no inkling as to how Gautamabai's character develops in the future thereby, immune to her present behavior at this point & will not make premonitions would be futile.
It was definitely good to see Malharao back into the picture so let us see how he proves his worth as a mentor or passes on his guidance to Ahilyabai.
What is your perspective? Please share.
