watched the episode, and everyone has captured the POV perfectly👍👍I would like to add a few observations. Both setups are beautifully contrasted. The show presents two very different upbringings middle-class and high society and each portrayed with depth. My take is that Neetu instilled strong values in Vikrant, which is what attracted Mannat to him. However, even as a buddy to Yuvi, Vikrant failed to pass those values to him. This is Vikrant 2.0 someone who has everything, yet feels empty. Values no longer seem to matter to him, all he needs is someone who can heal his wounds and stand by him. This is where the undercurrent of his relationship with Yashika comes in. He believes she is genuine and caring, but to me, she appears to have hidden agendas. She is attracting Yuvi through money to get closer to Vikrant, and her motive is clear. Vikrant is the only person who truly makes Yuvi happy. I don’t see her selfless in her intentions. Once again, Vikrant has failed to judge the people in his life and is walking into another web of lies. He is giving Yashika access to claim rights on him which was only reserved for Mannat. I am certain that once Mannat enters the picture, we will see a clear shift in Yashika’s attitude. On the other hand, Mannat remains the same dedicated, hardworking, and sincere. She is fulfilling her responsibilities and raising her child with kindness and strong values taught by Shruti, without complaining about how life treated her in the past. Her empty eyes carry immense strength to move forward and rise with her head held high. Dua is a reflection of both Mannat and Vikrant, she has inherited the best from both. She is nothing short of a miracle for those who once were lifeless. There are many undercurrents in the episode, but the way these characters hold each other back yet slowly create a beautiful shift in life is commendable. We feel the pain, the emotions, and the emptiness, yet there is happiness because they are all blessed with Dua. This, to me, is what a family truly is. DK and Mannat share a relationship rooted in understanding, shared pain, and mutual strength. Over the years, they have built a strong bond based purely on friendship and trust. Now, they take decisions as a family. This dynamic will surely come into play in the upcoming episodes when Manvik comes face to face. What I am most curious about is how DK will react, as he has witnessed Mannat’s pain and helplessness all these years. I absolutely love the Indore setup. Mannat shares a beautiful bond with each family member. Over time, Ronnie has become a father figure to her. While they deeply miss Vikrant, loving someone wholeheartedly gives the other person strength something Mannat and Rotu needed during their separation from Vikrant. Together, they have provided Dua with a stable family, ensuring she never feels the burden of questions about her birth. According to me, Vikrant is once again walking into another trap. After hearing Addy’s interview, I feel something significant happened in the past, which increases Vikrant’s anger toward Mannat and his reluctance to talk about her. Yet, he still needs someone to heal him. At present, that role is being filled by Yashika. Mannat, on the other hand, never allowed DK to come close to her physically over these years. That is why I believe that despite the anger, Mannat’s love has always been pure and reserved only for Vikrant. Vikrant doesn’t love Yashika but he has a soft spot for her, and that very softness is going to become his biggest trouble in future. Like he said in IV Malla was forced but Yashika is a choice he made for himself.
