CHALK AND CHEESE

The episode today threw up 4 different kinds of responses that highlight the difference in people's thinking.

Baapuji - Baba Yaga

We have often wondered why Anupama was asked to stay in Shah House. It appears that Baapuji like Anuj would goad her to achieve her potential and allow her to leave only when he has satisfied himself that she is able to make and implement her decisions.

We often find the term Maa popping up every now and then. We find Baa claiming rights as Anupamas mom. Her actions however establish her as only thinking of her ladla. She cannot exercise her control over Kavya and needs Anupama to run the house.

She and Bapuji are are poles apart.

ANUPAMA -BABA YAGA

Anupama treats both Kinjal and Nandini as her daughters. She gives them unconditional support and trust. That is pure love and care. Anupama is thus able to evoke their unconditional love and support. Anupama speaks up to sort issues between couples.

Baa on the other hand likes to throw her weight around without in anyway acting like a mother. She would do her bit to widen the rift between couples. A typically evil example of a MIL.

KAVYA-ANUPAMA

Kavya spares no effort to create I'll in the minds of others towards Anupama. She has suceeded in poisoning Vanrajs mind. She has failed in controlling Dolly, Kinjal and to some extent Paakhi through her mean ways.

She picks the next target Baa in her most vulnerable moment and has started filling her head with ideas.

Baa like her son will fall a prey.

VANRAJ-ANUJ

Both men in the way in which they treat Anupama demonstrate their angelic and demonic traits.

Anuj has stayed out of the country but kept trach of the happenings in Anupamas life wishing that all was well with her.

Vanraj even after the divorce cannot let go of the puppet he controlled for 25 years. The words he speaks, the tone he uses, the stares he casts the menacing actions make him act like a obsessive lover. He cannot believe that he has fallen off the pedestal.

Anuj scribbles her name, preserves things connected to her, respects her decision without attempting to influence her in any way! To him anything connected to Anupama is very precious.

While one clipped her wings and held her chained the other only thinks of liberating her. Anuj, perceptive of her difficulty in English reassures her that Hindi and Gujarati would suffice!

Very well written 👍🏼

The best part of today episode was Bapuji looking at Vanraj-Kavya and stating they are unemployed then looked at Toshu and said aur yeh of five la damad hai. This time around he will support her, he once said he always felt guilty that 18 year old Anu was dropped out of college as Baa and Vanraj didn't want her study but they always taunted her on not being educated.... Bapuji just remained silent as he didn't want more drama... which he regretted.

Like I don't understand Toshu... like he think Anuj has only offered his mom a job as he likes her but himself as received a job as he is Rakhi' s damad.

Baa will always be Anu's saas.... Dolly has a job and it was stated that Anu used to look after her child but now that there is time to help out Anu.... No one cooperates.... Devika was absolutely right in her motivation speech that she gave Anu.

If you notice Baa and Kavya have more in common than Anu and Baa like when they found out that GK is not actually Anuj's uncle... Kavya was like I touched his feet while Baa was like I served him kaaju...

But it was nice to see Pakhi support her mother and she was genuinely happy that her mom took the job.
