Episode 684
This may look like a pro V review. Skip at your wish.
Ghum makes me do research sometimes. I did that today. 😔
I checked the definition of gaslighting for getting clarity.
It goes like this:
Gaslighting is a form of psychological abuse in which a person or group causes someone to question their own sanity, memories, or perception of reality. People who experience gaslighting may feel confused, anxious, or as though they cannot trust themselves.
Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that often occurs in abusive relationships. It is a covert type of emotional abuse in which the bully or abuser misleads the target, creating a false narrative and making them question their judgments and reality.
I didn't find V's behaviour odd. Probably because I was expecting. What I found wrong was his physical approach using his masculine aggression but whatever he told P was not wrong. In my opinion.
Sai has a convo with imaginary V and she is extremally hurt for being called a teesri. So does that mean she was still harbouring some hope? Feelings we knew she had. But hope too? Is that why she never told Saavi about V? 😔
Khair... I had no issue for the teesra yesterday. As I had mentioned, it was by makers and not V. Sai was getting too sympathetic to P inspite of clearly understanding what P wanted.
Forget her own rights... but why should Sai compromise on what is Saavi's legal right? As her mother and an adult, shouldnt she keep Saavi's best interest in priority for her decisions?
Anyway, I digress. Sai tells imaginary V that she is not to be trifled with and she will retaliate. She is not Chavans ka punching bag. Good... now stay firm on it. Don't go weak at the first sign.
VP come back and V locks the room with P. She is terrified. V is proper menacing. His physicality in the entire scene is terrifying. I myself felt fearful. NB did good.
What V did with his masculinity is wrong, but what he said was not.
Now I am not condoning what he did... but purely from the post leap scenario and whatever she told him in the past few episodes and whatever he saw in the cafe.... he is not wrong in what he said.
P ticks him off by calling Saavi a problem. V is irritated with the idea of saazish. So he is operating from the conditions laid down for the marriage. "tumhari khushi main hi meri khushi hai". But clearly P is not happy. V has finally caught that. He tells her she made him believe that he was wrong in not consulting her for Vinu's admission. She manipulated him into thinking that he was wrong, he apologized and even then she was not convinced so she went behind his back and did planning with Sai.
P lies.... lies through her teeth. She tells him I have no problem with Saavi.
Which is wrong... utterly wrong. V seems to have heard everything and she has the gall to lie to him on his face. And if what she is saying (that she didn't want to separate V and Saavi) is what she feels is right, then its more horrible.... because then it means her sole problem is Sai and not Saavi.... so she is fine as long as V has only Saavi but not Sai... this is totally opposite to what she told Sai. She is fine separating Sai and Saavi then!
And what's the guarantee that she will behave nicely with Saavi in Sai's absence?
V questions her on Vinu... and taunts that she claims all credit of Vinu's goodness/progress for herself.
P makes a startling point... "sab kuch jaante hue bhi maine tumse shaadi ki?".... hello?????
P was dying to marry him since day one... she jumped on that chance... she has been wanting rights on him... and what is sab kuch jaante hue? did she forget her own crimes??? Sure V was a party.... but this dialogue makes it seem like she was an honest party and V was a criminal.
V throws the doglapan at her.
V has high expectations from her. Why???? I am not sure!!!! He has forgiven her for her crimes. So she is the mahaan murat who sacrificed ... but now that she is going against him, he is seeing the truth. That she cares for only her happiness and nothing about anyone else.
V warns her that he wont consult anyone for his kids. he doesn't care about anyone (tumhe aur kisi aur ko/Sai)
He threatens her that she cant separate V and Saavi now... and he will not think twice before breaking their relationship. Saavi trumps everything.
BK hears everything from outside the door. I found BK very weird today. She didn't really console P... rather taunted her. and warned her.
Relating to the definition of gaslighting and the conditions laid down for VP marriage ... who exactly is the manipulator here? We can go on and on about who blurred boundaries and who didn't... but looking at the entire narrative of 680+ episodes and not just leap ... who is lying? V or P?
P tells the same thing to BK. Trust is all they had in their marriage. No other expectations are to be kept. So if she knew this, who is wrong and who is right? Who is exactly the abuser and who is the victim?
Ash-Vinu scene is irrelevant.
Sai comes to CN and the precap wala scene happens. Absolutely loved everything she said.
Sai challenges V to tell the truth to Saavi and also explain why he left her mother for teesra.
Here's where I felt the teesra was by makers and not V. Like the Jags CA he didn't intend to call her teesri. His shock at hearing it and then looking at P makes him seem to realize how Sai received it.
Sai questions V if he has himmat to break Saavi's heart by explaining all this to her. Camera pans on P as that is her inherent fear. V doesn't have an answer.
Sai tells him that she herself had once planned to leave Nagpur but now that Saavi has started liking Nagpur and has adjusted well, she will keep Saavi's wishes on preference. Will think only about her family. Saavi and herself.
Sai restricts the visitation rights for V. Warns that if anyone misbehaves with Saavi, he will lose them as well.
Sai declares she wont leave... V is happy. She turns and tells P that she will live in Nagpur with Saavi.
The teesra comes back again... Sai tells him to resolve their matters on their own and not involve her.
Sai tells V that she wont mind going for solo custody and V will lose whatever he has now. V seemed happy at the idea of custody. (my guess is he is happy as it means he can officially claim Saavi)
Also warns V to behave with her, not to show any haq or else she will respond like she would do to any road side gunda.
Aaj V ko gunda bhi bol diya 🤣
V blames P again for inciting all this. Everything was going smoothly and he was happy had it not been for her meeting with Sai. Now that Sai has sunaoed him and restricted him, P can celebrate.
At night, P tries to talk to V and tries the biwi card once again. V mentions that he will remember the pain Biwi gave him.
Precap is DIG offering a job in police dept to Sai because she and V managed to save many lives and wonders if V is comfortable working with Sai, P is not happy.
DIG is the like modern day cupid God.
P proposes and DIG God disposes.
Kahan P chahti thi ki Sai chali jaaye. Sai chahti thi ki V sirf weekend pe mile.
Ab DIG is ensuring to get the worth of his investment. Sia must have taken money from him for the gold bracelet. DIG is making sure the investment is fruitful.
Anyway, DCP to pakka lega offer... weekdays pe he will meet his colleague ki beti and weekends pe he will go meet her as Virat Saavi Joshi. 🤣
DIG should get a nice wet kiss from V for proposing this offer.
Ab bas Kadam aur Sai ko saath dekhna hai 😆
