I felt that yesterday’s episode reflected Katha's vulnerability to trauma and traumatic events in general. I personally think this is a refreshing contrast to mahaan version of her.
When she stepped into the hospital and looked at the stretchers and other medical devices around, painful memories of Arav's illness flooded into her; she was immediately pulled into this bubble of the past. If you guys remember, this happened when she went to the luxury hotel in Dubai too. She could not help but remember the ONS night, including the pain and darkness of the event (of her having to sleep with Viaan for money). I feel that Katha struggles to process certain traumatic events completely, and as a result, certain settings, atmospheres definitely act as triggers.
If you remember one of the episodes towards the beginning (following the ONS), Katha also trembled when Viaan accidentally touched her while taking a pen from her; even a small touch triggered her to the memories of her being physical with Viaan. This pattern of certain things (including Shamita's accusation) triggering her has occurred repetitively.
I hope that in the future, the makers show Katha actively and openly processing certain complex emotions, especially those from the ONS. Being physical with someone is a huge deal (especially for Katha); obviously, her romantic feelings for Viaan will be in conflict with triggering moments from the night. I want to see a conversation between her and Viaan where they talk about what emotions they went through that night, but I think I'm expecting too much 😅
