What a FABULOUS scene! - Page 5

I loved how it was placed!

Pratigya - attacked by everyone, ripped by Komal, doubted by Krishna... perturbed by the hostility her act has generated, dismayed by how quickly SHE has become the villain of the piece instead of the real perpetrators of crime and abuse! 😭😕

A rare moment of self doubt for Pratigya. She asked GD yesterday if she had done anything so wrong. The old lady had shaken her head firmly, and reassured her. But Pratigya needed to head, like a homing pigeon, to the source of her education, the source of her strength - her father.

At home, she was polite with her dadi and mother but impatient. But when her mother also started to disagree and disapprove, she got up in a bit of a huff and went straight to her father's room.

He sensed her distress. of course. at once. I have only tried to do right, but it sticks in everyone's gullet - whether they love me or hate me - they seem to be able to bear everything else except my supporting what is right.

It is not easy, her father told her, the path you have chosen. And never mind if you don't win today. The flame of truth has burnt for a little while - that is no small achievment. Not everyone has your strength. They may appear to be strong but they are cowards - they cannot face the truth. You don't lose courage. It is important that you don't.

He quotes to her some poetry that has always inspired him, poetry he used to recite to her when she was a child:

Ho gayi hai peer parvat si pighalni chaahiye
Is Himalay se koi Ganga nikalni chaahiye

Torments have assumed mountainous proportions; they must now melt
From this Himalaya must flow a river, a Ganga

Aaj ye deewaar pardon ki tarah hilne lagi
Shart lekin thi ke ye buniyaad hilni chaahiye

The walls sway like curtains today, ready to crumble
But we are not done till we uproot the very foundations

Har sadak par har gali mein har nagar har gaanv mein
Haath lahraate huye har laash chalni chaahiye

In every street, nook, city and village
Let the dead arise, waving their hands

Sirf hungaama khada karna mera maksad nahi
Saari koshish hai ke ye soorat badalni chaahiye

I do not say this merely to raise a din
The effort is to change the face of this situation

Mere seene mein nahi to tere seene mein sahi
Ho kahin bhi aag lekin aag jalni chaahiy e

If not in my bosom, then certainly in yours
Anywhere at all, but keep the fire alive

Never let this flame die, Pratigya! Remember your courage is your hallmark.

Pratigya's face blooms. This is why I come to you, she said, you have always understood me, never let me down. I was afraid, I was shaken but I am not anymore. Thank you so much.

It was a beautiful scene. And you know, years down the line, if someone wants to know, "oh that top TRP gathering serial Pratigya, what was that about?" You can just show them this one scene and tell them - It was about this. 👏👏👏
