Today's episode was quite interesting. My take on it is a bit different. In today's episode, we got to see what politics actually means (from Jay's side) . As much as I hate to admit this, DEK isn't exactly a love story. The CVs did go haywire with the entire Akash-Moniya love story crap but now they are focusing on the real thing. It's a show about the politics of the Royal families and I think ManVeer's love story will be blossoming amidst all these politics and planning.
I was quite sure that Uday will not propose to Manyata just yet because during his conversation with Unnati, he himself said that "Devgarh main sahi moka dekhtay he hum Manyata ko apne dil ki baat keh dain gay" . Which means he's waiting for the right time and opportunity. And Uday does not seem like the rushing-into-things kind of a guy to me. I think he will properly plan the whole thing and not just do it abruptly, causing Manyata to be utterly confused and pissed at him.
Now coming to the episode, man I was so relieved to find out that the bike dude was not Akash but a bodyguard of the Royals. And he has been appointed as Manyata's personal bodyguard I guess. Now I find Jay very clever. She very wisely chose the man to do whatever she wants to do with Manyata, as he is going to be with Manyata probably 24x7. Why I feel it was a clever idea I'll let you know. In real life, we must have come across a lot of incidents or heard about them. When some political figure of this sort is killed or something, it's usually committed by the person who is with them all the time. Like their bodyguards. People always hire such people to do their dirty work as they can easily be near your target and no one would even suspect them because everyone thinks that they're here for your safety. So it's get easier to hurt them. It does happen in politics and I think they're applying the same thing in this show as they're trying to show every angle of a Royal life and the Royal people.
I don't think that Jay hired that man to choke Manyata with her dupatta. I think that man and that scary looking woman are hired by her for some other and bigger purpose. Maybe she wants to do something really bad to Manyata on her coronation. Anyway coming back to the episode, I think that whole dupatta scene was infact to insult Manyata and show her in a bad light infront of the people of Devgarh. Manyata was supposed to get up and meet the people and I think Jay did that so that Manyata would be unable to get up from her seat. But our Yuvraani handled the situation pretty well. And so did her Yuvraaj 😊 . The whole scene where he holds out his hand for her and then puts dupatta on her head was quite cute. And their scene in the beginning too. The BG music fit perfectly to the entire scene.
Devgarh palace does look creepy. From the looks of it, I felt that this place holds a lot of secrets and mysteries. Which means we might get to see a different angle of the entire story from the Devgarh Palace. Which is good in one way because that means Akash isn't coming back soon 😆 . Now that Daisa or whoever she is, gosh she literally scared the wits out of me when she came running towards Manyata yelling "Yuvraanisa" or something like that. And her eye-liner was way to scary. Even Manyata was scared of her. And the way Jay was smirking, I think this woman is in on the plan too. Another very clever move by Jay. Hiring the 2 people who are going to be very close to Manyata in Devgarh. It makes her work a lot more easier. I'm sure Daisa's character is either to scare Manyata or guide her to the wrong path in order to prove her unfit for the throne. Or maybe both? Let's just hope the CVs don't ruin the story with a lot of drama and suspense this time because the current track is very interesting, and I don't want them to overdo this entire Daisa-Jay-Bodyguard track.
The highlight of today's episode was definitely the childhood flashbacks of Manyata. I think pretty soon she'll start having flashbacks of her childhood with Uday. Devgarh should bring Manyata and Uday closer and lay the foundation of their love story.
