Coming on topic it's not like Rahul didn't respect Mauli's wish before he tried his best to make understand his family i.e Tanjay only.He is clear in that aspect on who his family his isne kabhi bhi SS ko manane ki koshish nahi ki kyunki woh iski extended family hai.But he tried 1-2 times he understood their thoughts are ancient inclined there's no way they will understand his relationship with Mauli and accept it and he took matter into his own hands and did what he thought was right of him and Mauli.Thats a natural human behaviour and from Rahul it was already expected this is his personality.

Having said that Rahul has also at fault here.He was perfectly aware of Mauli's intention towards this marriage yet anyway he did this by not respecting Mauli's wishes and going against it.Yes Mauli is ati mahaan and it would seem this was only way for him to marry her but atleast he should have discussed it with Mauli beforehand.I know Mauli wouldn't have entertained it but he would have atleast put forward his clear intentions towards Mauli before taking this step.He was clearly impulsive and immaturish behaviour by him which was rare coming from him and not expected atleast by Mauli.She would have felt betrayed a little by this stunt hence the contrast in thoughts I mentioned before.These were my thoughts and I rest my case here.

P.s On a lighter note yeh gharwalo mein koi dnyan wagera deta hai ki nahi Rahul ne ek hi din mein do baar bhaag ke shaadi kar li (almost) aur koi dnyan dene wala hi nahi.Another self obsessed personality example of this family.

Aptly said.

Mauli's blind obsession for this family is actually the root cause of everything. It's high time she shouls start looking at things with Rahul and Manoj's perspective.

Agreed for all you said you said about Rahul 💯

In gharwalo ko ladne bhidne aur Mauli ko tana marne se time mile tab to ye dhyan de ki inka ladka ek hi din me do do jagah teer maar chuka hai🤭

Totally on point about Rahul. He is truly a gem.

The clarity he has always has been a unique character trait of his. Totally agreed that what he's done is completely normal human behaviour & everyone tends to make mistakes which is very very normal.

It's not like Rahul didn't respect Mauli's wishes completely. He did respect her & was with her throughout. The samaroh thing was what triggered him & we also can't ignore the fact that whatever he did was for Mauli more than himself. But yeah this act of intoxication was immature. Both of them r different & react differently to situations & it's nthg new cos they've always been so leading to the contrast.

Are ye log aise hi hain. I'm sure agar clown nhi dekhta na to inlogo ko kuch pata nhi chalta about Rauli eloping. 😂🤣

Yes Rahul impulsiveness and thoughtless action can only be attributed to human nature. Nobody is to be blamed here. In fact Manoj is in comparatively in stable state of mind than him and if he is supporting him though with a little hesitation and we are not blaming him then Rahul nowhere can be too.

In fact they are looking very close to reality that nobody is perfect and can not act always right that too from everybody's perspective. It's Mauli only at present who seems to be far from reality in her portrayal but cant blame her too as this the requirement of an inspirational FL of tv shows

Absolutely.

True Mauli needs to come out of her ati mahanta that's the main point.

Ofcourse we know our boy too well 😁😁

Exactly inko kaha sud hai apne alawa aur kisiki. 🤣😂

Just saw the episode and there's quite a lot to unpack. First and foremost I completely don't agree with Rahul's actions, no matter how good the intention was. No one should be forced to marry in an unconscious state so Mauli's anger is justified.

Coming to the episode, their face off was the highlight and really emphasized the current battle that both Rahul and Mauli will have to deal with first before they can take on the family: hope & positivity vs reality & facts.

Having hope or being positive of a situation isn't a bad thing. It motivates people and can bring them together. However being too hopeful and ignoring the facts and reality that are present and staring you in the face produces major blindspots. Rahul has come to terms with the reality of their situation and is trying to use facts to reason with Mauli. But unfortunately her hopefulness has caused a major blindspot for her where she cannot see the disrespect being given to her nor can she tell when someone is using her.

I agree with the earlier analysis of these two being on two different wave lengths. They are - they're not seeing eye to eye and until they can get on the same page, they won't be able to fight this family and their ancient thoughts together.

In regards to Rahul not speaking up for her, he did and I felt he did as much as he could. He's honest and gutsy but respectful at the same time. But what this points out is society's continued bias to blame everything and anything on the girl - even if she's not at fault. Something Rahul was trying to explain to her. It's a cruel reality and something this family will need to check themselves on before they can continue to be all high and mighty amongst society.

You have put very nicely the current debate and contrast presented on the show.

Being overpositive and placing unjustified hope in something or someone is a major drawback of one's personality that often goes unnoticed and unaddressed. Mauli is in fact turning a blind eye to the reality of this people and going overboard with her being nice to everyone attitude.

Exactly no one is to be blamed completely.

True Rahul & Manoj both r coming across as very realistic & relatable whereas Mauli is being typing ITV FL.

Agreed. Infact all the discussions we r having r adding a whole new meaning to the current track. Cheers to us 🙌🙌

Being positive is good but being overtly positive is not acceptable & that's what Mauli is doing. She needs a jerk to come out of her over positive bubble & whatever Rahul is gonna do is exactly gonna give her that.

I have more thoughts on the recap but want to see how the week plays out. But noticed a few other interesting pieces during the episode:

- Vaibhav seemed pretty calm after everyone came home and even mentioned that if they thought this was a shock they have no idea what's coming. My best guess is that he instigated Rati to go to Rahul (perhaps comfort him and maybe propose marriage) and its from this that Rahul comes up with this fake marriage plan.

- It looks like Vijay's issue with Manoj isn't him leaving the house. But instead Manoj being chosen over Vijay to be the doctor in the family. He's brought this whole doctor sacrifice thing up many times and despite saying he's happy for his brother, comes off resentful for it (Vaibhav definitely takes after him). Manoj doesn't really bring up Vijay's business but he doesn't hesitate to constantly bring to a doctor reference.

- Through all of Rahul's reasoning nothing got Mauli offended enough to continue with the marriage than him questioning her love for him. I feel this "proving how much she loves him" is going to come into play much later - when we eventually move on from this track.

Sorry for the two posts. Didn't want it to be one long essay.

Again the instances you have mentioned and brought to our notice and so the discussion is indeed very praiseworthy.

I also wondered when they showed rati mad in her room, noticed by vaibhav but that didn't follow any discussion between them and how she is nowhere to be seen when all the people are at home.

I think Manoj was the most ladla son of the elders and especially of SS as indirectly mentioned in initial episodes. This must have been the beginning point of vijay's jeolousy towards him that was further strengthened by other decisions and situations that favored Manoj more than him.

This competition and little envy is not rare in the siblings of same age especially in a joint family but in the case of vaibhav he directly and openly accepts it while vijay presents it in the garb of emotional blackmailing and sacrifices made by him.

Yes i also admired it the way they showed Mauli still held her love above all other things

I think two posts are always better than one extra long post😅

Exactly we too deserve a little praise for such an intellectual, practical and useful debate. Who knows it may help us to take a decision in our own life in long run.🤭 cheers🥂 and of course the show for compelling us to think and contemplate over these crucial issues of society and one's own life.

Yes the jerk is much needed for her to come out of her overconfidence. She will definitely get a reality check by Rahul with his present action.

Yup. I was also about to point out the same.

About that scene maybe today we'll get to see how it all happened along with Rahul's pov.

Yup what u r saying is quite possible. But DU is definitely coming across as annoying & childish.

Same here it was good to see Mauli keeping her love above everything I hope she does the same in future too.

Agreed.

True all of these discussions will definitely be of gr8 help for us 😁😁.

This is definitely needed for Mauli. Let's see how it all plays out.
