Episode 618
I should remember my own words 😆
WU do not give a clear picture.
Its not as bad as it looks like from what I read.
Sai ka breakdown happens. I liked how she for the first time actually blamed V for all the problems in her life. Till now, Sai had always given V enough leeway. She may still change her stance knowing Vinu ka adoption but it was cathartic to see Sai finally acknowledging that V is the root cause of her problems. 👍🏼
Aaba appears and the whole conversation exudes a warmth that is missing in the show. Sai-Aaba convos are always profound and meaningful.
"Chot ko chupa rahi thi, uska ilaaj nahi karegi"
Aaba is not talking about the physical chot, he is talking about the pain Sai is holding in her heart. He starts questioning her about her residual feelings about V and she turns it towards Saavi. Aaba guesses it correctly questions her.
"Kisi aur ko V ke saath dekh ke tujhe bura laga"
Sai replies that she had forgotten, was happy and had moved on. Aaba refuses to accept it. Counter questions that if what you are saying is true, then why are you worried that he moved on, when you yourself claim to have moved on?
I had an overwhelming question on this... which I will ask later!!!
Aaba once again tries to make her see that she loves V still. But Sai denies it. Regrets everything that has happened so far. Why Aaba gave her responsibility to him, he married her... quotes that maybe V-P would have been happy if he had not met her. (I have a contrary view to this as audience, poor Sai doesn't, again the fault of miscommunication)
V wouldn't have married P even if he had not met Sai, so Sai is actually not the thorn in the relationship. It was Sam, which has been removed. But V has never clarified this to her. 😔
Aaba tells her to not blame anyone, that there might be a reason why this has happened and how this has happened.
In the end, he is the same Aaba who was her strength and moral support.
"Don't fight with yourself and your emotions. Be prepared... there's more to come, count your blessings and accept what is being given to you"
Its a warning and a hope combined together.
Harivansh Rai Bachchan wali baat yaad aa gai...
"Mann ka ho to acchha, Mann ka na ho to aur bhi acchha. Kyunki agar tumhare mann ka nahi hai iska matlab vo bhagwan ka mann ka hai"
Sai steels herself at the end of it. Decides to close all doors for V to enter back in her life.
Sai-Saavi and V-Vinu equations are both tense. Unknowingly the frustration is being taken out on the kids. Both are slightly rude than their usual behavior. Both refuse their own kids to meet the other.
V-P equation is shifting to normal. V refuses her help initially but agrees later.
Both P and Mohit request him to stay back but he is adamant to go back.
"Sai tay nahi karegi main meri zindagi main kya karunga, kya nahi"... Pate ki baat Mr. VC ... you please decide for once .... she doesn't want to anyway. Better own up to your decisions and stick to them rather than drag everyone.
Vinu questions why go back. V is saved from answering by Ninad's call.
They are all worried and concerned why V doesn't want to stay back. Luckily for V, the convo shifts to P ka bday and V doesn't have to answer.
Ash asks Vinu to get Saavi and Dr. Auntie with him. 🤪🤪
V doesn't know P ka birthday, neither does Vinu. If this is show how important she is to anyone, this is a sign. Her presence is important to the family but not to these two.😆
P is being adarsh bahu. Says spending time with you all is my gift.
UM has come to tell V about Saavi. Luckily she too witnesses this happy family scene. Sai has reached after her and she too hears it. This staged setting by the makers is to make Sai's resolve stronger. Sai wont be telling V about Saavi. Sai unknowingly rues about the love and acceptance she never got. Says we have no haq to break apart a family. UM agrees ki V shouldn't know about Saavi.
Ye punya kaam P ko hi karna padega. 🤣
I guess P ka birthday ka importance iss phone call tak hi tha. Don't think there will be celebration as such.
@coolmeg is right. Sai is love. She believes in the greater concept of love. She believes in setting V free. Do whatever he wishes as long as he is happy.
V appreciates P. He has started taking the first steps towards P. Apologizes to her for missing her bday. She says its okay that you had a lot going. V remarks that she is "suljhi hui"
V moves away, Sai hides and P sees her.
If and that's a big 'IF', P has indeed changed, she has started trusting Sai. and that's a revelation from the story's POV.
The reason she feels comfortable enough to leave Sai and V together in the room whereas she did chowkidaari when they were legally married. The reason she trusts Sai's expertise and ethics as a Doctor so much that she might fight with everyone (including V) for getting Vinu treated by Sai. The reason she feels her marriage to V is safe and Sai wont meddle.
And so it depends on V ka reaction after Sai marks her reappearance.
And if P finds it compelling enough, might be the reason for SaiRat patchup.
Its a huge ask.... I don't know if this is what they have planned.... but 'if' (again an 'if') Aish is planning to leave... this is definitely the track to be her swan song. Leave on a positive note, rather than dead.
Sadly, it means that the SaiRat relationship will always be at her mercy. It is she who broke them and she who might bring them together. Its poetic but its not right. Their problem was miscommunication and it will remain.
Coming to the question I want a response on... and genuine response from characters POV, not actor or offscreen.
Would Sai and us audience would have accepted or scrutinized V less if it had been some other woman and not P? I think I would have been.
Surely it has to do with a lot of baggage towards P. Which is also why to counter it, Jags has been brought into the picture.
V is somewhere operating from that I feel, that if he can forgive P and accept her, surely Sai can forgive Jags too... when both are supposedly reformed. Its a wrong assessment on his part for Sai and he has and will always be a fool when it comes to her.
I was dreading watching it because I was holding onto the hope that V wont move on to P. While that hope is dwindling and is at its lowest, today's didn't feel like he has already. But he is indeed seeing her in new light.
@Sadhika... I think we can rest the mental illness theory today. I only saw P1 but V was behaving P2.
He has somewhere accepted that Sai has moved on and like someone said he was operating from a guilt. Now that the guilt is over, he has new directions to look for.
The problem in all this is.... it is still a very juvenile reason to separate. (Yes.. Nuts👍🏼). So it would be a more stupider reasoning to get back. Like V and Sai are assuming they have moved on, truth is far away from that. For V, he already has one alterative in P, Sai is wishing to close the doors. So if a new guy is introduced, she will move on too.
Is it right to judge only one? They both are right in their stance.
The kids would be the pull.
All I want now, is true reflectance from V and everyone associated and an acceptance from Sai. She was not bojh or just zimmedari. Its time she knows that and accepts that. People fall out of love but it doesn't mean the 'in between' was fake.
Precap may not play like this... Sai ka saree is blooper. They seemed to have already moved away from Kankavli house by the end of episode. V-Sai have denied the kids to meet each other. It is totally possible that the precap is fake. Thursday TRP day wala scam.
The other interpretation is the kids are the catalyst, they will bring back these two face to face again. V hasn't given the flower to P. instead he looks shocked. What if its for Sai but without the flower?
Sai and Saavi ki entry in CN looks possible on first day of Navratri!!!! Please use this symbolism for good and not for another stupid drama mocking our rituals.
P.S. While I do agree to Sai ka concern for Saavi and not revealing the paternity to V or to Saavi, unknowingly Saavi too is facing the same fate Sai had... a single parent. If this has to move forward and SaiRat are not endgame, I can only wish for the sweet child to get a loving father in Sai's new partner.
