😭My 2c
Criticizing a character and accepting pushback on one's critique is good. But condescension on pushback by calling people "dear"s rankles a bit 😭. Perhaps it is just me as I am not familiar with IF style of engaging in constructive debates. No hard feelings.👍🏼
Regarding Rishi using his Diwan name and bailing out Indira immediately...I was actually more inclined to this view a few hrs ago when I had just read the comments, but had not had a chance to watch the episode. Now that I have, I have changed my mind. What changed it was Indira's comment to Rishi when he prevented her from stumbling and falling over a piece of concrete. He said something very supportive. Indira in turn just lashed out at him with full blown bitterness. My read is given that she even refused the support of only person who offered it as the crisis ensued, she would not have accepted anything major like bail from him, especially in his role as Ricky Diwan, at least not immediately.
My next comment is not an endorsement of Rishi or an attack on Indira, but a sad reflection on how Indira's family have so screwed up her personality, have made her so hard and bitter, completely devoid of softer feelings like empathy, modicum of respect for other people's egos etc...like her lashing out at her subordinates etc. She did the same when she lashed out at Rishi for offering his support and that to when she was metaphorically drowning. She could have just stared at him and walked away silently, if for nothing else but to show human acknowledgement of un-accepted /not-so-welcome support of an enemy at time of need.
She reminds me so much of a hurt and bitter teenager whom lady luck keeps dealing bad hands. And in her case it is true. Her development was arrested in many ways when she became the sole bread winner at the age of 18. 😭😭
PS: Earlier I used to cringe sometimes when Indira used to brutally destroy her mum's or her sister's ego. There is a fine line and I felt Indira crossed it many times. But after todays episode, it should be good riddance to all of them, especially her mum. How could she let her daughter get arrested? She could not even say that her daughter is incapable of thievery, when Indira was begging her😡 If she could not ratt her scum of husband out, she could still have been a mother and said she lost the necklace, and offered to get herself arrested.😡
