Frankly speaking, I don't really like the idea of convincing or befriending Khander Rao through fake tricks by Ahilya Bai. I mean what's all that - Ahilya knowing the Saraswati Bandana very well and pretending in front of KR that she can't recite it properly and seeks help from him when in reality she doesn't need any, secondly writing the alphabets in a wrong way knowingly (by the way, here Guruji only likes asking questions and giving tasks to copy from here to there instead of teaching his students any lessons). Yeah she is a 9 year old and can do such immature stuffs to get KR's attention, but I guess the idea was originally of Harku Bai's and she shouldn't teach her doing fake stuffs. If "I" were in place of PAB's KR (I don't think he was such an insecure and hopeless git in history as shown here), after knowing the reality of these acts, it would neither improve my self-esteem level nor reduce my insecurity level, rather it would amplify those levels much more. For that, an elderly person like his parental figure should give him proper advice and lessons so that he could get out from his insecurity shell automatically and stop thinking of his wife as his competitor. What was that GB giving responsibilities of his son and his stupid insecurities to AB and deal with it? Infact it was GB herself who had actually eaten her son's brains, if any. Is it a task for a 9 year old girl? If someone calls me out and tell me, "Hey, from now on lets make this your ambition/goal", then I would definitely take care of not fulfilling that. How can someone determine one's ambition/goal? I really liked Harku Bai's advice to Ahilya and Khander Rao (indirectly) yesterday and yes I think this is a step which can improve their relationship, like Ahilya should focus on learning stuffs silently rather than showing it off and KR being a husband too have duties of taking care of his wife. Though it was being indirectly conveyed to KR, I think it was one much needed step as his parents don't have any guts to teach him any stuffs.
