God, what an episode!
From the first frame with all the characters at Thakur Niwas sitting in utter silence to the sound of the chakki, the distant coming of a thunderstorm...
From the demeanour of the each and every one of the cast - Ammaji's menace, Shakti's malevolence, SS's crudity, Kesar's mortification, Piyasia's low triumph of finding herself among stronger allies, Ghanti Lal's distress
From Pratigya and her palefaced shock at a world coming crumbling down, at such humiliation
From Shyamji and his horror at his worst fears coming true
From Krishna's strength, his weakness, his innate character and his inner conviction, his vulnerablity, his guts, his beauty, his godliness, his humanness....

What an episode!
What a fine piece of storytelling.
CVs, take a bow!

Truly, truly, what an episode! It did not pull its punches. It was not for the faint-hearted. It may be impossible for the sane to watch again.
But what an episode!!!👏👏👏
The quality of the build-up. The escalating atmosphere of menace. The tight tight control of the trajectory of the scene. I completly agree! CVs, CVs, Cvs If any of you is reading this take a hundred bows!⭐️ I have rarely seen such masterly control on television, leave alone a daily soap.

What a marvelous way to finally announce the true arrival of a "HERO". Because, unmistakably, it was a new Krishna who emerged today. A man who may have at last found his depth. This silent man, with this deep deep eyes walks into a room full of rabid, raging aggressors and just by the strength of his greater conviction, manages to take control! Not through impassioned speeches or coarse challenges. Just by a few ill-formed, tremulous, but powerfully felt words!
I lub this new-born man more if that is possible!😳 May he find a true and equal love to his own ever-deepening love!

Thanks Sunz!

But in my hurry to praise Krishna, I said nothing about Pratigya! 😕 After all the wonderful Cvs have ensured that their progress has always been in tandem.
Pratigya who had walked out of the house for a single slap made in anger, just stood there taking all the abuse being dished out to her, because she was not about to leave the house without knowing Krishna's reaction and his stand. Even after all the ugliness😡 that happened it did not occur to her to take the easy way out and go home with her father and wait for the repercussions there. She had to stay there for Krishna! This is because there has been a fundamental change in her motivations. She has come to a crucial stage in her development.
For the first time she truly, deeply wants KRISHNA. Remember, not just a marriage, not just harmony, not even a husband. She wants HIM. For him she is prepared to bear with a family like That. Only because it is his family. She called that unpardonable😡 woman 'Amma' and meant it, not because she is her Bahu, but becasue that woman is Krishna's Amma. When Amma called her own son "anpad" Pratigya's eyes flared in anger, in defense of her man.😃 She his now bound in spirit to Krishna in the most basic, primordial way there is - not as a "wife" but as a woman.
Things have become so truly exciting because now, no matter what, Pratigya is not going to let go! 👏Krishna is no longer alone in his efforts. He now has a formidable force by his side.
Pratigya has been much abused, by her in-laws and often by the people of this forum. But not even her harshest critics can accuse her of being a coward. In the face of the worst kind of impending torture, emotional and perhaps even physical, That girl just stands there listening to the dictates of her heart - truly has the most crystal 'Mann ki aawaaz'! Kudos to her! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
