It was no doubt an impactful episode, i normally watch an episode 2-3 times before i come and write here. Today I could watch it only once. So 👏👏👏 to Aneri for portraying that trauma, that fear so effectively that I had tears and shivers and then sheer anger at these monsters who get a free will and free pass!!!! Kudos to GK for portraying that guilt and helplessness. Kudos to Rups for supporting Mukku and ANuj and having that expressions of shock and concern/worry and helplessness in her expressions. She was trying to console that soul as much as possible.
Writers I have few questions for you...I hope you eventually address this in the story. If you dont, then the story will not be complete.
1. Mukku and Anuj are not in touch for 10 years. So i assume this incident has happened before that and he got her out of that situation and somehow Mukku recovered enough to move ahead in whatever means
2. Mukku now has that habit of running (she ofcourse has not healed) and for some reason she ran off from her brother, thing is WHY???
3. She has been taking pills which her brother is not aware off????? This means she has not disclosed herself fully to her brother, she has put a brave front probably before she vanished??
4. Pls be sensitive on how you take this forward. This issue has not come up just to show Mukku's traits of running or having that fear plus longing to root herself. You NEED to show more of what this girl did on those 10 years and then show her rise, stop her running, and take what she wants from LIFE. Make her take her brother out of guilt as ONLY SHE can do so!!
There are still pieces that dont connect between the siblings. Pls make this clear!!
Anuj's feeling the guilt, the brunt, the reason is very justifiable. Its a different point that why ANUJ only!! But he being at this place is what thousands of parents or other people feel as they held themselves responsible or accountable for their loved ones. This is what society has induced in us. Society feels that the highest achievement in a woman's life is finding a life partner, marriage is that ultimate goal. My ques is WHY? Dont mistake me, marriage is a beautiful bond, finding that person who is perfect for you is a amazing feel and am sure the journey together also would be equally amazing. However the sole purpose or the pinnacle achievement, specially in the Indian society, should not be marriage. We still think that if someone does not get married, the reason could be many other things and NOT a FAULT in that person. I choose not to get married and I was questioned by so called society. The only man who stood by me was my father. If not for him, I would have had to fight tougher battles. He also had to listen from many other fathers. But thanks to kanha ji we both are made of steel and sponge. We survived gracefully and god rest his soul, he had a good life till his end.
When a girl refuses to marry, wants to pursue something else, the first thought that comes to mind is that something must be wrong with that girl!! And when abuse of any form starts, we feel its our duty to be that perfect wife, perfect DIL, perfect Daughter and just accept whatever comes to us as fate and not react, not complain. OR we feel that we must have done something to deserve this!! Wat will society think? What will our relatives say? They will make life impossible for my parents..etc etc. And for a father, for a brother, bec of this pressure, it becomes inevitable to meet that expectation that our daughter, our sister has to settle in life. And settle=marry.
Anuj also felt and did the same as a Brother but his choice backfired. Now this is something that is not in our control. We cannot know a person inside out. We will go by word of mouth, we will access by what we see (which ofcourse can be wrong). And many people are masters in hiding what they really are. They are so double-faced that inside the doors they are something and outside the door they are totally different!! ANd then ofcourse the blame comes in and we feel totally responsible for making the wrong choices. It is a choice made with good intent but for some reason that turned out to be totally wrong. On top of that is the fact that we dont accept that something might be wrong, or we dont realize that something might be wrong until its too late. Anuj had that means to take her away from that situation, and i would that he did in that instant, but in reality how many have that choice to step in and ACT?? Dont we have stories where people turn blind towards such situations while people keep on suffering??? Society - as in mass - have to change. Unless this happens, such stories will continue. And trust me in a small village of 25, it takes mountains of efforts to march them towards light. Its not easy, period.
I now completely understand why ANuj was so elated when Anu stood for him and praised him. He was so so beyond happy that someone praised him. He, from so many years, have been feeling himself not worthy bec of the choices he has made for his sister, his only family.
I hope we see Mukku heal, we see Mukku help her brother come out of his guilt and love himself, and in all this let Anu be their Pillar and support.
Last but not the least, Vaanraj Shah cannot be part of any of this - Mukku's breakdown. NONE...I hope we see him step in at the last sec. THIS also I WOULD HAVE NOT WANT TO BE SEEN, but then I have no control of the story.
WE all know V will one day take advantage of the siblings in some way, you are not going to turn him to a changed man, SO dont give him more leverage towards the vulnerability of GOOD PEOPLE.
And when time comes, we hope to see that strong businessman and brother Anuj RIP Vaanraj Shah apart!!!
