The episode starts with Dev standing with the entire family in front of PB waiting to talk to people who have come to meet him………Radhika first softly glances at Bholu (when everyone was praising him) and then her expression hardens and she glares at Minnie me who is proudly standing next to Dev. True to his nature he thanks everyone (although he knows that it is only Radhika who was responsible for him getting well)….and also credits them (their prayers might not have worked but they did pray …..by acknowledging them these people might feel that although they are common folks, they have value in the eyes of the Rajpurohit)…….Bholu continues that this has affirmed his belief in prayers and how some people selflessly do things for others (he tells this openly but he is looking at Radhika…..and Radhika knows that) ……….and then he says that he wants to acknowledge someone specially for him getting well and calls Radhika because she has done everything in her power to see that he gets well………and Minnie protests that people will not like if another woman comes and stands next to RP (please chunnu munnu pack her off to a jail first followed by mental asylum…….Agra is nearby and Ranchi is also not that far). Radhika is hesitating, maybe fears that it will harm Dev who meanwhile without raising his voice firmly tells Minnie me that Radhika is no other woman and and tells her that people will not mind if the person who has saved him comes and stands next to him (I am not surprised that Dev is not openly acknowledging Radhika as his wife yet….Dev has been fed duty and obligation since he was child and these words are now second nature to him. It is very difficult for anyone to get over what he or she has been taught since childhood….Like all of us Dev is a product of his upbringing and the affects of that will not disappear so quickly. Infact he will always have duty in him but that should become a balanced one and not an obsessive one. There are certain scenes regarding some of these characters that define their characterization to me………..for Radhika I always have this image of this little girl in my mind who is terrified that if she does not put sindoor then what will happen to Kishankanhayeeya and how will she save him? That little girl is still there in Radhika…..For Dev it has been the scene where they showed little Dev putting all the memorabilia regarding their childhood safely in a wooden box but then the box being slowly covered by books…..that was Kishankanhayeeya being covered by duty and responsibilities)…..Minnie me still refuses to budge but Dev calmly asks her to step back and she is forced to do so and he stretches out his hands towards Radhika who initially looks fearfully at the public but then slowly comes and stands next to. Dev continues that Radhika is the one who saved him and he is indebted to Radhika for that (Radhika does not know how to react but slowly folds her hands and thanks everyone). The Mahant who until now had been looking down at Radhika for being characterless comes and refers to her as Devi and thanks and blesses her for returning Rajpurohit to them (So she is finally getting the character certificate in front of everyone….it is al fine chunnu munnu……. it is her actions of coming in as the fake wife that created the problem and it is her action in protecting Dev which might help in removing the stigma and Dev is highlighting that action of her in saving him…that she saved their Rajpurohit, so in another way that she cannot do anything that will ahrm the Rajpurohiti ……….but chunnu munnu there is another person who is more responsible for Radhika's condition…..that is Rohan………and also the Purohit family because they too have kept their mouth shut including the pious soul Padma………they dumped everything on a poor helpless girl to protect their family name……….I hope that all these people will also have to face music for their actions….).
Round table conference in the sitting area where Padma and dai are relieved that Dev is back…….Padma's security blanket is back and she is now relieved and saying that the black shadow has gone…….And Minnie me walks in…badi bahu is smirlking (nice to have you back badi bahu) …..Padma acknowledges her mistake in going against Radhika and Dev and then says that Radhika cannot be bad because she has saved Dev's life…..(Padma realizes that she was wrong but does not acknowledge the real reason……….anyway she could have said that Radhika did all this to hoodwink them , since she did not say that and instead said that the one who can save cannot kill….does this mean that the complex Padma coming back? I am not too sure and it depends on the future episodes but chunnu munnu please bring the complex Padma back….recently Padma had become too one dimensional).
Now dai also acknowledges her mistake in not trusting Radhika (but again do not go into the reason why she behaved liked that…I mean the real reason and not just that Radhika was taking Dev from her…because the realization is not there)..anyway they are feeling ashamed and do not know how to apologise to Radhika……………..and Bholu trust him….although Bholu had this guilty looks but he becomes the Lord of the Manor and talks as if he owns Radhika and sighs that he was also wrong but Radhika forgave him so you also no need to say sorry (areeh oh bholu……..who gave you the right to decide on Radhika's behalf that what she wants and does not want? Radhika even did not stop her own father form saying sorry to her so why are you stopping these two? If Radhika does not require their sorry then she will tell that to them……..just because you think that people in this family do not have to apologize to you or Radhika does not mean that Radhika also thinks the same………….areh Radhika was displeased at Rohan and others for treating you like a servant and she asked you a question on that…….she did that because she thought that what they were doing was wrong. Even when dada came to her and was manipulating her to sacrifice…Radhika knew exactly what was happening and she was very angry at dada………..she did not say anything but she ignored dada's thanks ...this is all due to Radhika/kanha and his talks that what great husband Dev is and how much he loves Radhika) . Anyway badi bahu disrupts their happy thoughts about how good Radhika is and says but Radhika added poison…….Padma is back to her insecure looks and dai is now supporting Dev (well Radhika has again proven herself na so dai is ok) who is strongly saying that his Radhika cannot do this . Now he is thinking that someone might have added poison and then he says that for some time someone has been trying to frame Radhika and for that everyone in this family was behaving badly towards her (Bholu please do remember to count yourself in that everyone since you also joined them..anyway some progress that he has started to link that someone is after Radhika but when Bakrha is exposed will he accept it……..and if he does accept it will he just dump everything on Barkha or will also accept that he is also at fault…..that he lost his trust on Radhika because he did not want to accept the truth that barkha was wrong because that will shake the foundation of his beliefs)..Anyway they all leave and Minnie me is muttering to herself that she has been left alone by her best friend the Gubara who has done a chumantar and this Radhika has again won everyone's heart and she runs to her room….and rings up her best friend………..and gets a voice mail message that "the person you have called cannot be reached at this moment……..(which is true……..that person cannot be reached…actually not only at this moment but any moment……….Minnie mi Gubara has gone thayee thayee phuss) ……..and then she starts singing to herself…mere sundar sapna toot gaya and her heart breaks that she cried buckets when Dev was dieing and he does not know of that (yes yes first kill him and then just stand and cry and then again cry poor me poor me..chunnu munnu please pack her off to asylum)…. badi bahu calmly matkaos in with a smirk on her face and instigates Barkha to fight with Radhika (ahh that reminds me of something that happened some time back where badi bahu was telling someone to fight for her rights).
Radhika is entering a temple and Barkha comes there and tells her that Radhika has come between her and Dev (see again hallucinating) and tells he what she did to Radhika who is remembering everything ……….Minnie bleats that real Radhika is alive but she does not care (when few days back she was quivering that real Rdahika will come back for revenge..liar liar pants on fire Barkha….) and threatens Radhika that she will again kick her out. This is Radhika's greatest fear …(but wonder why isn't she saying the truth to Dev, does she think that Dev will not believe her) because she has been looking forward to spending her life with KK since childhood and she complains to Kanha about it…..that when will this stop……..(it will stop provided Radhika does something to make it stop. Kanha is there and I hope that he tells her to stop letting others take advantage of her attachment for Dev………..this is the only thing that always breaks her down…….people manipulate her due to this reason and also puts fear in her ………….she needs to learn how to control it).
I don't know whether Avinash is sick or not…if he is not and he must be deliberately putting on the heavy voice to signify that the character of Dev is not well. Anyway, liked his acting. Rubina was brilliant in the first scene where she was hesitating…….full of fear regarding how will people react..happy that she is getting acknowledgement …and then in the last scene where she is again worried and scared whether history will repeat again regarding Dev and her. …and a special mention to Pragati Mehra.
