1. Defintion of love: AbhiM, AK, AbhiN and Manjiri, each have different definition of love. AbhiM has seen his mother sacrificing and not getting anything in return and has developed the thinking that love should not be associated with sacrifice. On the other hand, Manjiri, AK, and AbhiN percieve sacrifice as love. Superficially, they may look same, but they are not. Manjiri's sacrifice is not sacrifice, it is emboldening her ego via victim mentality. She sacrificed but always wanted something in return, may be importance, recognition. When she did not get that she developed hate, vengeance, 'Haq' mentality which we now see being transferred to her son.
AK sacrificed with pure intentions. She wanted to make people she loves happy, nothing for herself. In that she even defended people's wrong doing. However, AK never developed hate or negative emotions towards anyone.
AbhiN scores highest on this. AbhiN does good for everyone not only for his dear ones. AK once said to him, ' मै चाहती थी आप हमारे लिये अलग हो (caring )लेकिन औरो के लिये नही. लेकिन आप ऐसे हो हि नही सकते '. On top of that AbhiN can let go very easily after giving his best. AK once said, ' उन्होने मुझे नाम के रिश्ते मे इतना दिया जो सच्चे रिश्ते मे भी लोग नही देते '
Current track overall shows the interplaying of these different definitions of love with each other.
Now, to today's episode.
I would like to thank writers for giving the 2 minutes of AkshNav scene.
1. The injustice: the biggest injustice in my POV is confining AK and AbhiN bond in any relationship. They have prestine bond which is beyond gender. I loved how they stayed before Abhir's birth. Nothing, yet everything of each other. The societal norms ( लोग अजीब नजरसे देखते है ) kind of forced them to give the relationship some name, along with Abhir's need of Papa. Their relationship does not need a name, forget physical intimacy in my POV.
2. Is AbhiN great?: TBH, he is very difficult person to handle and live with. He is like a wet soap bar. Will clean you but can slip anytime from your hand. He is too selfless. Only AK can understand him and live with him because she is in some ways similar to him. Today's conversation between AK and AbhiN was treat to watch. First, I liked how AK ( atleast today) could comfortably sleep in their bedroom in presence of her x- husband.
AK's biggest fear since AbhiM's come back is AbhiN's letting go tendancy. That is why she gave him the ' Gyan' that she gave him. I also loved how candindly AbhiN told her his state of mind and his vulnerabilities and possibility that he may behave impulsively in coming days.
3. Who has grown: since pre- leap, Manjiri and AbhiM have seen a downward graph in terms of their intentions and actions. It is only AK who has become relatively balanced person, who has learnt from her past mistakes and does not intend to repeat them.
When their will be monologue by AK at the end of the track, I would not mind if AK gives tight slap to AbhiN for his excessive letting go tendancies as those are going jeopardize Abhir's future even though he is well intentioned. The AbhiN's 'No haq' nature allowed AK to be herself at one time and hence was her friend but that tendancy is going to be her biggest enemy in coming days. AbhiM is going to ask for higher piece of the pie at every step and AbhiN is going to let go more each time. How will AK walk this tight rope is there to see...
