So...I watched a few clips of the show on insta.
And there were a few moments between Bhavani and Pulkit. Those moments conveyed many emotions.
When he had come with his family, Bhavani was certainly not happy with him.
Later when Bhavani mentions cooking food and Ashwini praises her, Pulkit joins and becomes excited like a child. I know Pulkit was praising Bhavani's cooking skills and she likes it when anyone praises her😆
But it was more than that.
Pulkit's excitement at the prospect of having Bhavani's food felt like a child's desire. The way he got excited and started requesting for the food telling her that he misses food cooked by her. It conveys that when he was a child, even though she thought of him as a servant's kid, she certainly liked him. And would give him her own handmade food.
In those moments, he became that child again.
Bhavani was not reminiscing those moments, but she was feeling the goodness of his heart. He had told her that he had always respected her and will always do. She's seeing that now. And a smile appears on her face. When Devyani is irritated with her that she is not replying to Pulkit, he again takes her side instead of coming between the mother-daughter. She perhaps thought he was the one who separated her daughter from her. But now she's seeing that he has not and will not come between them. Also he's a good husband, who deals with her patiently. And her faith in Pulkit is proving to be right.
That smile showed her changing perception for her son-in-law. There's still a way to go. But something has definitely changed in this mother-in-law and son-in-law duo.
