Writer ne sindoor aur feminism dono ke bhashan ek hi dialogue me dalwaa diye. Uske charan chooke aate hai😆. The dialogues were cringe worthy and all over the place. Adi and dev ko equate kiya par nahi bhi kiya. I am surprised they wrote dialogues equating them in the same breath albeit indirectly🤢. Adi did the galti of marrying didi out of confusion and panic , but he has begun the process of making things right for all three 7 months into the marriage, but what dev did does not warrant any forgiveness from anyone.

Loved the review. Surprisingly I also was able to watch the full episode as I had no hopes that it would be good after reading the WU. The main reason I wanted to watch was to check exactly how does Malini take the truth. And I swear I laughed out aloud at her expressions when she burst out crying and came to Sita Maiyya🤣. Legit my family assumed I was watching something that had comedy instead of a "supposed" deeply emotional scene. Did was really unintentionally hilarious.🤣 Anyway, I have shared my thoughts on the epi on a few other posts as well, but the one thing that really stood out for me at least dialogue wise was just the one that she said about how men make mistakes and women have to deal with the consequences. I know her equating Dev and Aditya is not just uncalled for, but simply wrong, but the point she puts us valid. Dev's mistake and cowardly behaviour ruined 4 lives irrevocably, and Adi's mistake of initially disregarding Imlie's concern on that rainy night due to which they got married and the mistake of choosing to marry Malini without giving her the full facts has led to all 3 of their lives to be tangled in the near future. I accept and agree that Adi has accepted and is trying to rectify his mistake in every way possible, but the line does resonate with me. Baki sab bechari Sita maiyya ko sambhalo didi se, poor Sita maiyya.

I disagree with this statement. My problem with this statement is that it completely exonerates women's choices that lead to this situation. Everyone irrespective of their gender will have to deal with the consequences of their choices. Its not just Mithi, Imlie, Anu and Malini, but Dev and Aditya also suffered. Dev not to the extent i wish to see him suffer😆 but he did suffer.

Yes Dev is horrrible, he slept with a young girl and never looked back. Aditya married two women. What about the women in question? Was their choice compromised in any of these situations?

Lets start with Imlie. On the rainy evening, Aditya did not understand the magnitude of the situation they were trapped in as he was a clueless city guy who did not know the ways of the villagers. But once he understood that Imlie is really stressed he offered to take her home. Whatever the reason, It was imlie who made the choice to stay for the night in hut inspite of knowing what could be the consequences. It was imlie's choice to marry him. It was imlie's choice to live like a maid at Aditya's house. And it was Imlie's choice to let Aditya to get married to Malini.

Malini- If you look at their date flashbacks, you will know Aditya was more interested in food than he was in Malini. He never showed that he cared more than token gestures. And always put his work above her. Malini feared that he did not like her enough. She was scared of what if he finds someone he likes more than me? Which led to questions like "waha aapko koi aur milgayi toh?". Even though she was insecure in the relation, she chose not to speak about her inseurities. She was worried he might dump her and she chose to give in to her worries or fears. This was before the life changing PD trip. After Aditya came back from PD he tries to tell her the truth, but she faints from shock😆. In ICU Aditya lied to her that he joked. But Malini knew that he was not capable of making such tasteless jokes. But she made a choice to trust his lie and go ahead with the wedding.

Anu - Anu knew for sure Dev cheated on her. But she wanted the truth from horse's mouth. Dev toh hai hi coward he would never accept. But it was her choice to continue her marriage. Dev never forced her right? She could have chose to walk out. She did not.

Mithi - She chose to believe Dev. When Dev left and she was pregnant, she knew where he stayed. She chose not to confront him, she chose not to take any help in raising imlie. She chose her self respect. Beauty of this character is that she knew it was her choices that led to her situation. So she never really blamed loser Dev.

Dev suffered for twenty years in an unhappy marriage and was always pining for Mithi. I am sure Anu never made anything easy for him. After nineteen years he found he had another daughter and now sees his daughter regard someone else as her father and that she has no regard for her biological father. Not enough, i know. Let's wait for story to unfold 😆

Only person in the story whose choice was compromised was Aditya. In marrying Malini he was revolting against this compromised choice. And we saw him suffer the consequences. Didi was clingy, suspicious and never let him breathe easy. But more than anything his major punishment was when he discovered his love for Imlie after he married Malini. This love literally brought him to his knees😆.He understood what suffocation means lol. And he still continues to suffer because of choice to marry Malini. So much so that even audience feels pity for this morally compromised character😆.

Malini is a self pitying character with no capability see a situation as the result of her choices. If she sees how will she be the bechari , abla nari? For her, she will always be victim and Aditya responsible for this situation.

Okay so as soon as i woke up this morning, pehle mene IF kholke episode ka update pada usse bhi zyada neeche ke comments pe concentrate kiya. Didi ki mahaanta ko dekh kar mujhe sab log sadme mein lage . So i decided mere heart aur mental health ke liye aaj ka episode skip karna hi acha hai. And i am proud to say i lasted almost 6 hours too . And phir mene lodestar ka review pada.Unke post padne ke baad mann mein ek umeed jaagi ke shayad aaj ka episode utna bura bhi nai hai .And the next thing i was on hotstar playing today's episode lol. I hold forumwasis responsible for making me enjoy the episode😆. The places where i was supposed to reach for tissues i was laughing because i was remembering your comments.

Aaj ke episode ka synopsis:

There was a sunny panditji in pagdandiya blithely distributing sindoor qutubminars to bhaktjan. Suddenly ek paagal aurat aayi and mata rani pe chillane lagi scaring him and other the bhakts away.

Lets get into my analysis now:

It is a busy day for Malini.

Subah subah Mithi se samosa banwaye, champi karwaya and champi karwate hue unko mom declare kardiya. Yes! thats how good mithi is at giving champi.And Mithi toh hai hi bholi toh usne bhi boldiya kalpana ji aap meri imliya jaisan ho.

Then she bullied Mithi into confessing that Dev is Imlie's dad. But because she never suspected that Dev is imlie's dad, yeh sach sunke bechari didi ko 440 volt ka jhatka laga. Mithi ko hawa se baate karne ke liye chod diya and bhaag gayi ghar se rote hue.

Roti hui didi falls to the ground in middle of no where (no where is beautiful; team manages to find such amazing locations anywhere) and blames kismat that she and imlie have same papa and pati. But unko woh ek satisfaction nai mila; kuch adhoora sa laga. She needed someone else to blame.

Aas paas dekha toh didi ko Matarani ki moorat dikha. Next target dekte hi andar shakti jaagrit hoti hai and she starts walking towards Matarani.

Yeh dekh kar Matarani paseene chutne lagte hai and she is like koi mujhe batao ki yeh bas meri bayanak kalpana hai lol. Malini sach mein mere paas nai aari lol. But it was not Matarani's lucky day. Kalpana/Malini aayi and she picked a fight.

Aate waqt didi ko woh bechara pandit dikha giving PD sindhoor to a bhakt. And yeh dekhkar Malini ko apni shadi yaad aagaya. And apne 1920's ke time ke vichaar MataRani se samne rakhdiya.

Roughly transalated: I am so unlucky i lost sindoor. Samaaj will koso me. What about Aditya? Why does he get a free pass? Why will he not suffer? And if sindoor is so important why cant i fill my own maang? At this point i was like - You totally can. Please watch Roohi on netflix.

Also you need to note didi's manners. She wanted to do Aditya's chugli to Matarani. But she never actually took his name.

Then she says Mithi suffered because she did not get sindoor. Anu suffered because she got sindoor but she was scared of loosing it. Imlie is suffering because she has to hide her sindoor. She is suffering because Aditya took away her sindoor. Men (Not just Aditya and Dev) are root cause of evil.

After reaching this conclusion didi ke andar ek naya energy aajati hai. She is like enough. Time to set priorities. Imlie >>>>> Aditya.

I am a strong independent woman and i will ensure imlie gets her rights but let me relax under this tree first.

And rote hue baitgayi. Then mithi enters. Innocent Mithi is moved that Kalpana ji is crying for her. She was like please dont cry for me. My wounds are old. I was like you wish yeh apne kismat pe rorahi hai 😆.

All this scene mein i was extremely concerned for the Pandit. Unka kya hua, we will never know.

Kalpana declares that she is going to Delhi tomo. Mithi asks her why is she leaving so suddenly any exam? Mithi is so innocent she is actually giving didi excuses she can use to lie. Didi is like exactly. Mithi gets emotional and says i will pray for you kalpana. And thats the story of how some kalpana somewhere is enjoying fruits of Mithi's prayers.

Now didi is going to Delhi tomo to reveal the truth. At this point you will be like Mithi doesnt want to reveal the truth, Dev doesnt want to reveal the truth, Imlie is not interested in knowing the truth, Aditya is least bothered with the truth. So why does didi want to reveal the truth? Please okay! Dont attribute any selfish tendencies to didi. This is all for Imlie.

Uhhh when you said you watched the epi based on lodestar ji ka review I expected there would be something about adi imlie in it since that is what me and her were talking about anyway 😏🤷‍♀️🤔😕
