Today doing it on the basis of characters-
Dev- Now today he confidently walked up to badi bahu and pointed it out to her that she does not have a clean track record to point fingers at others (true). Earlier when dada wanted to call the police and tell everyone what badi bahu has been up to (I am talking about when people got to know the truth about Dev's parentage) Dev and Radhika protested saying that that will spoil the family's image. Now today again for the same family image Dev is threatening badi bahu and tells her that he will tell everyone what she did with dada. Now this dada factor is common both the times …..so if now he is threatening badi bahu, does this mean that along with the family image it is because he wants to buy time till the mess can be cleared……..is it because earlier he thought of giving badi bahu a chance but her behavior in the past few weeks has made him change his mind to that of badi bahu will never change……..or is it a combination of both. Can we have some explanation here please creatives (otherwise it appears as if the family image is important to Dev and not dada's torture at the hands of badi bahu). When Dev and Radhika were on the run, Dev wanted to have society's acceptance before any physical relationship happens between him and Radhika. So what has changed now? The family might have accepted Radhika but to society she is hidden……..will it be fair to Radhika if she falls pregnant? If Dev loves Radhika won't he think off this aspect? Is he craving Radhika's companionship so much to get over his grief that he is not thinking of this? I can understand that he wants to relax and spent some time with her, but sleeping with her? In other words can you all please stop ping ponging with Dev's characterization. I am now sick and tired of it. Can you pick one choice and just stick to it and develop that further.
Anyway he has realized that whatever happens, it will be them three Dev, Radhika and Barkha who will have to face the consequences (actually it will be him and Radhika, because he took Barkhas name and Radhika applied the sindoor, Barkha can escape). He also acknowledged Barkha's help in maintaining the RPhiti , but still there is no apology to Barkha for springing it on her and he also supported Radhika's intention in finding a good boy for Barkha (this might backfire but for the time being I liked them thinking about it and it showed how much in delusion both are…well Barkha's mother is listening). Now creative does Radhika talking to Dev in the privacy of their room always mean talking about how mahaan barkha is? Does Radhika spending time with Dev only mean staring at the moon and smiling at each other? Do they not have any other issue to talk about? Doesn't Dev need to apologize to Radhika and explain to her that although he supported her and took this decision, he does not personally think that this decision is right? Why aren't there any meaningful conversation between the leads (that is if they are still the leads)?
Radhika- She is the one who got interested when badi bahu walked off in a huff and she is the one who thought about finding a good suitor for Barkha and seeing to it that she gets settled in life after all this finishes. She also has apologized to Barkha for doing what she did with the sindoor, asked her support as a favour and now also acknowledged Barkhas help in fulfilling her promise (she might learn a lesson later on but for the time being I found this ok from Radhika). Then in the temple she placed the kanha idol back in its place and said that until now whatever happened was because of dada but now since kanha is back, it will be what kanha wants. Now what on earth does that mean? Does it mean that the temple doors are now opened and hence all the bad actions will be removed? Does Radhika realize that what she did was wrong and it is for the promise and dada's dreams that she was forced to take this step? I won't mind for her to take some time and realize this but will like it if it is shown that she does realize this and wants to atone for her mistake. To me her not saying no for any physical relationship with Dev is consistent with her character……she always wanted only acceptance as Dev's wife (society was not important to her…it was drilled in her by others talking and dada) and was ready when on the run to have physical relationship with him (it was Dev who stopped her)………but………….doesn't Radhika realize that now there is a slight change …….what will happen if she gets pregnant? What will happen to Dev's image (the one that she wants to protect)…does she want her kids to go through what Dev went through? I know that the arrangement is temporary, but why take chances when nothing is clear and everything is a mess. Anyway I liked her smile when she got blessing from dai and Padma…..she always wanted that……..these people used her and are still using her for their own gain and this girl is not realizing it and is happy with any affection that she gets from them.
Padma- Now she is supporting them because the family image has been maintained, Dev is the RP so she can have him to cling to…….if she had the guts, she would have fought for Radhika and Dev's relationship………she wanted Radhika as the CB to ease her guilt but not at the expense of her security. I liked that the bangle that was meant for Chaya came to Radhika, and to Radhika it should be important because it has been blessed by dada.
Badi bau- As usual in her over confidence she blurted out what she wanted to do and now she will plan for Dev and Radhika's downfall on the sly………….Good…..I want them to either loose this RP or themselves own up to their mistakes and step back. I am supporting badi bahu now.
Virat- He is being the pragmatic one….showing that he is siding with Dev but working against him.
Rohan- Liked him being broken when his mother blesses Dev and Radhika and he silently comes and stands with Dev…but is not happy.
Dai-Finally kartavya from her and not dharma….she acknowledged that she did all this to Radhika for her duty…her loyalty to dada and now since that is hunky dory, she accepts Radhika.
Barkha- Now instead of describing her today I am going to just share why I am wary of her…..many people have asked me this so here it is….she caught my attention from her introduction. The scene that stood out for me was when she injured her finger to throw the police in the wrong direction to protect her friend (very few people will injure themselves to protect their friend...I am not saying whteher that is positive or negative, just that it caught my attention)…..then when she was at PB she came out as over confident, likes to be in control (most of the times she did not listen to others) but can get flustered very easily when that control slips …..…….she is loyal to her cause or what she thinks is right…..then when she psychologically tortured Rohan when he was ill to get back at him and teach him a lesson, she became psychotic to me and also someone who does not have the guts to do things openly and will do it on the sly……….her railroading the marriage to me was her doing what she thinks is right without thinking of the consequences and her need to be in control also again the sly factor coming in (that also made me wonder what will happen if she realizes that she is not in control anymore and someone else is controlling her)…….her being fiery in private but quiet in public is again showing insecurity ……and she always finds excuses when people pull her up for her faults and does not accept that she is wrong...so this is in a nut shell what I think of her….this is only my POV and is based on what the creatives have shown until now.
