It will b better if we can comment on every actor's profile at least twice in a day so that all PV actors rankings can go up but make sure we r doing it regularly on GC and KS's profile at least 😳...
A very realistic episode today with the siblings rivalry between Ansh & Palak 👏 👏
Oh my poor Ansh that was one emberassing speech and the question he asked Yash in his head was heart breaking 😭 😭 😭
Today's episode was like letting the cat fully out of the bag. It was all a bit slow – we had to see this whole saga of the kids going through their unsuccessful speeches, and then the teachers getting upset, and then the principal taking over the issue, and finally Yash and Aarti getting a earful from the principal. All of this just to arrive at the fact that Yash and Aarti have begun to suspect something sinister!
As I watched the whole rigmarole, however, three thoughts have arisen in my mind regarding the conduct of the characters involved in today's episode:
1. What has the Bua really gained by doing all that she has done? What victory has she really achieved?
She achieved zilch! If the Bua's aim was to destabilise the growing closeness of Aarti and Palak, by turning Palak against Aarti, she has actually turned Palak against her own self. The chid has become her own worst enemy! She has developed a warped idea of a stepmother which if not changed quickly could damage her life forever. And to make matters een more complicated the Bua has stolen Ansh's speech and turned Ansh against Yash, again to create a loss of peace of mind for Aarti. Was it really needed for the Bua to go to such lengths just to get at Aarti? And has she really affected Aarti? I doubt it. She has in fact hurt the children and actually brought Aarti and Yash closer somehow in this common issue.
2. Was the school principal the ideal marriage counsellor for Yash and Aarti? Was his advice to Yash and Aarti justified?
I thought it was a bit over the top of the school principal to go beyond the actual facts of the debate issue and the children's behaviour. Instead of staying with the facts, he began to assume that it was all caused by parental mismatch, arguments, domestic fights – and worse, by a lack of love between the parents. Ater the first few minutes the school principal was in fact sounding more like a marriage counsellor. Maybe it was all doe to highlight the fact that the Creatives wanted Yash and Aaarti to examine their own relationship. But to make the school principal dive straight into the domestic politics of his scholl children's parents was not realistic.
3. What should be the joint approach of Yash and Aarti now that they are faced with the kids' issues? Should they turn against each other or work together?
The precap though caught my attention squarely – Yash seems to be accusing Aarti of having given Ansh the wrong script. On the face f it it looks like Yash and Aarti are about to accuse each other. But I have a deep suspicion that both Yash and Aarti may be drama-acting as if they suspect each other, just to find out who really wrote that wrong speech for Ansh! I think its all a case of doing joint jasoosi!
To end my take, I want to make a passing remark on Pratik and Paridi. A head-on collision is imminent. In fact Paridi seems even to want to shed her saree and get back to her Western clothes. And Pratik is reduced to following her auto-rickshaw just to know what she's up to. Paridi seems to be in a feverish rush to somehow break the shackles of her marriage and sasuraal. Pratik on the other hand looks like he is unable to cope with the speed at which things are happening between him and Paridi. It is interesting that the Creatives have juxtaposed this "division" between Pratik and Paridi against the backdrop of Yash and Aarti's school dilemma.
I am convinced that the Creatives intend showing the contrast between Pratik-Paridi division versus Yash-Aarti convergence. That is one reason why I suspect Yash and Aarti may actually be jointly doing a naatak of accusing each other for the school fiasco, but actually they may be together in this plot to try and expose Bua!
