There was a lot of emotion and conversation. For me, it was an episode that has a lot to analyze and discuss. I enjoy such episodes even if I don’t like specific ideas or scenes that are shown. Not to mention, it was very well shot (after a long time). The line up and the shots from Suman’s perspective were beautiful! The acting was top notch and everyone was in character. I didn’t agree with a lot of the characters but I could understand them. Everyone having their own opinion and acting accordingly made sense. This family has seen Raavi grow up. I can see why the brothers jumped to her defense. Does it make the right, no! But it’s totally in character.
They have these two fight and most of the time, they have seen Shiva cross the line. It goes back to my comment from the other day. Raavi’s bullying was always more subtle. She is known to be a sweet human being who is always cheerful. It makes sense that the brothers were shocked seeing her quake in front of them. It was an instantaneous reaction. I do not agree with them but I can understand where the reaction is coming from. Same with Rishita. Suman has a soft spot for Shiva but she won’t stand for her Bahu being insulted. It was appalling to watch her hurl plates and cups! But her words about respect being key to a relationship was absolutely correct.
I have a lot more to say but I personally thought the episode was worth watching. It gave me a lot to think about. Whether I agree or not is another thing. I went in expecting myself to hate it. But I have to say, that wasn’t the case.
I totally respect and understand both POV’s here but I guess I had an much different experience watching the episode. I’m glad I went ahead and watched it. I have no expectations from the upcoming episodes but I definitely want to keep watching.
As for Raavi vs Shiva, I keep changing sides. But after today, I think I’m neither. They both need to learn to respect each other. If they don’t, I would prefer to watch them go their separate ways.
