Good analysis of today's episode. I have given my views below.
Anyway, the episode started with badi bahu being blamed for all the mishaps that might leak out the truth to the outsiders and there were four who want to stop that from happening.
Dev and Radhika-I am taking them as one.So the plan of Barkha fainting was Radhika's and Dev left her alone and came with Barkha and both RaDev want the truth to be not let out (now they are accepting that they lied to do all this?) Yes both know that in order to save RP they are lying about their relationship, they are buying time until they come up with a solution to save RP and their marriage. because then family prestige will be harmed and that might mean that Dev is taking Radhika for granted, but there is another explanation also. Later on Radhika tells Dev we both know that we will face problems in this path and we have to be there for each other, then that would mean that Dev should not have left Radhika alone and anyway that is going against Dev however weak he may be Radikha knows and accepts that Dev will have to support the RP situation and not support her..so did Dev hear when dactarnijee Barkha was making her love declaration (maybe not completely but some part heard in a haze) I think he was too hazy in his mind and the turn of events after he become conscious that it has slipped his mind, he cannot remember at this time but may remember later if something jerks his memory. and decided to play along and he knew that Radhika can take care of herself (If it is the second case then some reasoning of Dev needs to be shown) but was also worried about her and hence rushed when he saw her.
By the way it was Barkha who was gleefully explaining that they got saved'Radhika and Dev were quiet and looking down or sideways.
Dai and Padma...maybe not together maybe but separately...these two actually broke down Dev and Radhika in their own way...Dai by constantly shouting and abusing and Padma softly with love and care...but both did it...dai might want Barkha because then duty and tradition will be maintained (that is the most important thing for her) and also that she will not lose her control over Dev ... (well that's what dai thinks...it might be something quite different with madam Barkha). Padma to get her revenge on Dev and Radhika. She was humiliated and her son lost everything due to Dev and his mother and Radhika was the catalyst who also chose Dev over her darling son. It was interesting that the first time they showed Padma shouting at BB and warning her was when the lawyer was supposed to arrive to transfer all the property to CB's name and then her statement yesterday that she wants Rohan to marry Barkha. If the property is in Barkhas name then Rohan can get all by marrying Barkha (but she does not know that Barkha is obsessed about Dev and Rohan might be working to prove himself to Radhika....and that Barkha tortured Rohan). Also Barkha was not that happy when Dev tells her that he is thinking of Rohan as RP, but all her reaction can also be liked to her insecurity. Totally in agreement here.
Dactarni Barkha...we all know why...
Now regarding the plan, looks like it is a very carefully planned out one...whoever is doing the planning knows Radhika and Dev very well, but might be also over confident or wants to own Dev or completely destroy him. So let's see this person knows that once Dev accepts something as his own then nobody can make him think otherwise and also knows that being the future RP societies recognition is important for the trust and muth (so if society recognition of Dev and Barkha cannot be obtained openly because of Dev's refusal, then underhand technique will have to be involved, hence Radhika under ghunghat and then using Radhika's nature to remove her from Dev's life)...that everything will come to CB and also knows Dev well enough to know that once physical relationship happens or Dev is lead to believe that it has happened with any girl then he will find it very difficult to leave that girl...he will be broken and then it will be easy to make him do things and to also remove Radhika. But has this also been planned to destroy Radhika?
It is becoming difficult for me to accept seeing the obsession of Barkha for Dev, that it is a recent development...this level of obsession usually takes time to build up...so when did this love happen ...(flashbacks needed here)? Is it possible that Barkha saw Dev in college or somewhere...even the Mr. Mathura contest and fell in love with the image of Dev...or that she has grown up listening to Radhika talking and dreaming about KK and being psychotic after meeting Dev that translated into obsession for him? Or is there some other story? Also another question when was this plan formulated? Is it when dada initially accepted the marriage between Radhika and Dev but then stepped back when others said that she is characterless (BB's letter went through Mohini and Barkha's hands)...or was this planned from the beginning? Dev's picture was published in newspapers...reward was also announced...Barkha did recognize Dev from the picture...so an accidental meeting could have lead to this plan...Anybdy in that house can be with Barkha (even Mohini) or that person can be from outside...
Misti my personal view is that Barkha being very streetwise, who has had to earn her living after her father died wanted to get the reward money, she recognised Dev from the newpaper clippings but also recognised Radhika and became curious so decided to find out what the situation was all about, hence pretended to save them to get their trust. Then decided to wait a while before claiming the reward money and to check out the family and see how she could further help herself. In the meantime she fell in love with Dev and then learnt that he his the youngest GRANDSON and all property will be CB. There started her second plan and as each staged passed, she wooed Dev, Dada, Dai, and all others so they would support her. Dai joined hands with her after the marriage I think, her mother is involved too. Padma is working on her own so thinks she will be able to manipulate Barkha later when things are as she wants them. Let see what CV's show us.
I liked the questions that BB asked ...and she patted the others off and addressed her issues to the RP that is Dev because he as the RP has the right to decide (actually the house belongs to CB) that without proof how can he judge her?...same applies to Radhika too...that without proof how can they judge that Radhika is characterless' The family are not thinking Radhika is Characterless it is the SAMAJ and to prove to them is a very tedious process which will make them lose the RP title.(actually Dev starts thinking here) and that people in glass houses should not throw stones (so if they tell her truth regarding harming dada to tohers then she will also tell about this second marriage) and Dev does get her point and covers up his iritation by saying that let her stay. Then in her room she does start thinking in the right direction, Virat is awake but does not share his thoughts...and then overhears Barkha's plans...I hope this time she learned her lesson that she always rushes...and that she has to take other avenues...but she will come back at Barkha...she has been wounded and will retaliate...and Barkha is also becoming over confident so chances of her slipping...
I liked BB today and I do feel that she will somehow help Radev to unite, you are right when you say that BB is Dev's fairy godmother.
Liked Rubina as Radhika...she knows Dev well and would want her company and will want reassurance so goes to give him that...and manages to change his mood...I liked her spark and her playfulness. Her studying Dev and realizing that she will have to do something. Also liked Avinash as Dev. Pragati Mehera was very good...I liked her in the beginning firing away and driving everyone back to their corners. But loved her expression when Barkha opened the curtains...she had a I don't care attitude...head cocked to one side, eyebrows raised and studying Barkha sardonically...brilliant expression by the way...so for me it is Rubina and Pragati Mehera today...with Avinash as the third...and the entire episode was well supported by the other actors. ..
I liked Radhika, BB Dev and I am being to like Rohan. He is giving soft looks to Radhika but he will not harm her now. I am hoping that he will help Radev to unite.
