Kool:
I would have been impressed if she had handled it in this way
a) call his bluff - which she did so kudos there
b) not tell him about the divide between me and my husband
rather remind him that she is Krishnasingh's wife and SS DIL and leave the threat implied.
c) when he mentioned arushi's rape - do not slap him as this is very very bad deja vu. remind him again that the mere thought of this is lifeending move for HIM as Arushi is Krishna Singh's SIL.
Krishna is her ONLY ace. She should have used it strongly.
The threat of action is always more effective than the act itself because a threat implies impending doom. When the action itself is performed, the immediate effect neutralizes to a signifant degree the impact of the action.
If I had to assign a colour code (like the US government does during terrorism threats) I would assign a red to Angad's and a yellow to Pratigyas' (as hers does not involve krishna). teh colours would be reversed if her threat was based on krishna.
Krishna has the resources and strength to back up Pratigya's threat. Angad does not have the resources but he has endless amount of time, a malicious conniving mind and resonable resources (his chaylas) to back up his threat.
Pratigya is leaving her maayka today, has no physcial strength to match Angad's, no transportation, no money to hire thugs, no cell phone if Arushi needs to call her when she is being chased by Angad and his goons doiwn alleyways. Pratigya will not be around to protect Arushi even for a reasonable period of time. Maybe she plans on executing her threat using remote voodoo. I would like to know how she plans on enforcing a threat.
Out of immense fear, Arushi has left without warning IN THE NIGHT ONCE ALREADY. what stops her from doing it again. pratigya? Are we to assume she too is going to be doing road inspectori every night? IF she is don't u think Krishna will get suspicious. he already is and it took repeated denials from at least 5 people including tumhari patni from getting him to temper his suspicion.
Arushi encountered Angad and his goons on her maiden evening voyage what goes to say she wont' again? maybe she will seek the doctor's help? OK so if Nitin who seems to be physically stronger than the doc was so brutually beaten what luck does the poor doc stand?
Adarsh may be all bluster but little action so I have no expectation of protection there.
My only hope is that Pratigya borrows Shakti's vilayati katta and gives it to Arushi for her protection. Without Krishna, the katta is Arushi's only hope and Pratigya's only prayer. nothing else will work for Arushi in Illahabad where the government and the police force are corrupt and the community is too timid to defend the girls against goons and daily evils
If she had acted strategically and used her ace to deal with Angad I would have considered her a Sherni but today I have to say I can only see
two shernis in the entire showKomal and Guruma.Komal because she has her own strength, a logical mind, her father's resources to support any threats she issues and like any truly stong person she
does not issue threats unless she
knows that she can deliver
Guruma does not have physical strength but she has a strategic mind and loyalty of powerful men. In my mind, she is the MOST FEARSOME PERSON in this entire show. even more fearsome than SS.
If this show were looked at like a game of chess, then based on their individual personalities and strengths, Guruma would be Queen, SS King, Krishna, Komal and SS would be knights, Amma the bishop and entire Saxenas would be pawns. Oh and Tunna and Chandu would be rooks.
