A much needed jhatkaa !

I too loved CM today for the first time since her intro in BV. She was the one with most practicality in her words and actions in precap. I just wish these words from CM would help A to introspect herself and her feelings for S.

btw I loved it when A jhatkofied J's hand :)

Thanks for a lovely post!

You are right dear...I knew it that though Shiv and Anandi had full faith in eachother and would go ahead with all this, Shiv's family won't be able to digest it...Least of all CM, who already had her doubts about all this and has been raising her concern from time and again...Yeah, she has not given any space to Anandi and it was irritating for sometime, but it is good that she openly came out and told the Singh's that this was not acceptable to them and they might have to re-think about this relationship...

No in-laws will accept it...Forget about the village, even in city people won't feel comfortable or like it...One has to take care of the society too, along with everything else and know that it will give wrong signals to opposite party, if they do this...! Dadisa for her ladesar totally omited this fact, went against her own words due to what she did...

Anandi has to see through this clearly...It is good that she is taking into consideration dadisa's emotions, but she should even consider her in-laws too...Which she never thought for a second...Did she think that they would accept it so easily...If no, then she must be ready to bear the consequences...Bhairon had already told her so, and CM's decision will show her what he meant...

She needs to give proper thought to Shiv and their relationship...She needs to speak up her mind before everyone, because by remaining quite and galloping in self pity will take her no where but in more mess...I don't understand, why Anandi can't be strong enough for herself, when she does so much for others...Why can't she say no for one thing, which is morrally not right and say so, telling that she will do what she can for the sake of humanity, but she would draw a line and not go further as acting as his wife, because she has obligations to Shekhar's as well now...And dadisa had herself forced her into it and she needs to keep her and their promise at this point...I am sure Bhairon would have totally supported her...But, no she wanted to do this out of humanity and like Bhairon said, she needs to think about the consequences as well...

Personally, I don't have any problem, if Anandi is ready to stay alone...Many women do and do so happily...Help others and get happiness seeing the happiness of others...And I would be happy if she does too...But crying over the lost relationship, due to her own doing won't go well with me...I would prefer, she take this gracefully then and do her duty and continue like she used to...May be many will say that it will point out Jagya's victory, but he will know one day, that goodness never goes waste...She will have what she deserves...Though this will depend on what she is ready to sacrifise for the sake of good cause...

I will also say one more thing...I would prefer her to stay alone, but will hate her if she goes back to Jagya on dadisa's request...If she doesn't speak up then, then it will be truly pathetic and ruin her character for sure, because she would be in the same shoe as Gauri at that time...

Anyway, coming back to the point, I really saw this coming and it was nothing surprising and I wouldn't be surprised, if irawati too gets along with CM and tell Shiv to break the engagement...! It will be totally understandable and Singhs need to understand them as well...!

But Anandi is the one who has always has all the courage and guts and lung power to voice the rights of every aira gaira from this village and the next but pretends to be a puppet when it comes to her own rights and by proxy those who like her - like Shiv.

She sat and boo hoo'd in front of Shiv and had no thought or care for his hesitation or discomfort. But when she goes home she wipes her tears off and goes about caring for J and wiping his head and feeding and everything...😲, Then I see no pain or anger or disgust..how come ??

I hope Shiv is upfront and tells Bhairon he is uncomfortable with the current pretend wife scene and will have to counsel his own family. Bhairon too has never ALWAYS listened to DS, he CAN afford to say Anandi is not to serve J and that is final.

Democracy is all very good but being honest and open about one's feelings is more important than putting on a "on duty" mask and walking about like a zombie.
