Honestly loved today's episode, after a long time.
From the precap Deepika di guessed it would be similar case of karishma's mistrust, and really, I was thinking (worried about) the same. But karishma's reaction was such a pleasant surprise! She showed so much trust, when even pushpaji was not ready to blindly believe her son's innocence. And despite that trust, her eyes reflected the inevitable pain of just hearing those words, that her patidev cheated.
Previously whenever anyone mentioned the possibility that lalla could be cheating/wronging her, she would explode, something along the lines of "he wouldn't dare". But her composure and unwillingness to question him, even in her head, was commendable. Some may say she's in denial, but to me her words reflected faith more than reluctance. Maybe her trust may falter after what we say in the precap, but for now I think its significant progress from the last time she mistrusted lalla.
Maybe I'm just overly optimistic because I love karishma and lalla's relation , even though we've never seen him, nor heard more than a few minutes of their interaction in 2 whole years 😆. The makers have hinted at them being a very in-love and understanding couple yaar, I have high expectations.
