Duty to a parent is linked to a debt of love.

Priya's trap closed on that number today. As the one who is connected with her by breath, Ram was also caught.

Both can and should be understood, they love and respect each other, but they cannot move away from their parents either. What they successfully use, Mira ma, thinking about the well-being of the child, and Nandini, burying him in the ground.

I repeat, her joy will be paid dearly. When everything is revealed, it will burn.

Today, Ram proved that even though Nandini influences him, his blood, flesh and soul stand next to Priya, she shares the same with him. They are forced to listen, but their breath remains one. It was painful, but so beautiful. And hope lives in this, which knows that love breaks any false cage and repays debts a hundredfold.

Very well said! I have been reading your take on the show for the last few weeks, ever since things started going downhill in the show, and have to say that I really admire how you put a positive spin and ALWAYS manage to take a much deeper perspective of the situations and of each character esp Ram and Priya.

I was actually surprised by the complexity brought out quite well in that scene today! Its really not as simple as "WHy does Ram not trust Priya? Why is he being spineless?" etc. I don't think he was being spineless at all.

The situation he finds himself and his love Priya in, is very very convoluted. In fact he supported Priya right till the end he kept saying 'Isme Priya ki kya galti hai?' And he even verbalised that Priya herself is in an impossible situation...She has to go against her family to support her husband. It was only because Nandini literally railroaded him by saying that he does not give damn about bringing justice to his father's killers' and does not even care about his family cause for him Priya is paramount that he was truly shaken up. And if you really look at it from his view point, he is extremely emotional about his father, he is attached to his step-mother and treats her like a real mother, he loves Priya deeply but also knows that she loves her family and will do anything to protect her mother, sister etc. He does not mistrust Priya but he knows that they are both in a very difficult situation right now. And with Nandini and gang breathing down both Ram and Priya's neck he just lost his ability to think clearly.

My heart broke for Priya today...she was put in such an impossible situation and has to again pay for the sins of her father. And I loved Meera Ma today and her pulling up Kapoor Khandaan was right on spot!! She roared in like a Lioness coming to protect her little innocent cub surrounded by wolves. Am so glad she will walk away with Priya tomm. Not sure why Ram will ask Priya to have her arrested but I think/hope in a few days Ram will come out of this emotional freeze state he seems to have slipped into and get clarity on who and what really matters to him. Maybe his friends will help him move out of darkness into light and the truth. Or maybe the makers will decide to separate them and go for the leap.

But for today the turmoil on both Ram and Priya's faces was heartbreaking...the love, longing, confusion, desperation...it was all there:((

How? how do you see the positivity in the madness shown, anyways I really do appreciate it. It makes me wanna hold on to it longer... I didn't watch today's but your words give me hope...

I feel sorry for both of them, they are trapped, but for them, even if the separation takes place, love will always bind them and allow them to come out into the light.

My usual technique: I look at what is really important here - great love, when it is given by life, there will be many difficulties, but this reward is the greatest possible, it saves and heals from everything
