I am copy-pasting what I wrote in another thread about the episode.
Well, I have been subtly pointing out to the mild Oedipal clinging of the men towards Dhara. That's where I have problems with the storytellings of ITV overall. The women are myopic, and are shown only catering to the family and not to individualist sentiments.
They are projected as ‘knowing-it-all’ and home-wise. The vision of their world is that of a perpetual purblind confined to the corridors of their house and their families. There are so many layers to women in normal lives, but ITV is obsessed with making them sacrificial lambs and scapegoats for any form of wrongdoings of others.
The case here is that of badly raised men by both Gambi and Dhara, and their unhealthy adult obsession with their Bhabhi.
I had time and again reiterated that they are so attached to Dhara that every form of their emotional need is catered by her. They barely have space for other men or women in their lives.
Marriages, though initially started as business alliances and sexual Transactions, have evolved in the modern day to seek fulfilment physically and emotionally.
The problem with these man-children is that they have no value for a relationship like marriage. They see it as an extension of their family but not as a life-changing moment for them.
No woman adores a man who is that obsessed with his maternal figure. Dhara should let it go naturally rather than making it an emotional burden on anyone of them.
It's juvenile on Dhara’s part to expect the new women to fit perfectly like pieces of puzzles in their daily life without an iota of empathy about what the other women would probably want from their marriage and lives.
Someone is reprimanded for wanting ‘me time’ with her husband; someone is forced to play wife to an already complex relationship. It's hugely suffocating in the name of the greater good.
It's insane even to think about the mental, emotional and physical trauma everyone is going through in this process.
Arey marriages are not to be disciplined. They are nurtured with care, love and compassion!
Effing madness Dhara; cooking food separately is not going to bring people closer.
It's like telling people, “listen, you better start playing husband -wife to each other or else, I will cut you off.”
This is plain annoying and uncalled for. The relationship between Shiva-Dhara was so warm and charming once, but now it appears toxic and suffocating.
