Episode 153 Discussion: 25th Dec 2012 - Page 2

Nice enjoyable episode. Quite delightful to watch if you ignore couple of things.

RK is eagerly waiting for his sasuma ans sasurjee before starting off the celebration. They have now become an integral part of his life. RK cuts the cake and relives his first encounter with this filmi duniya and how the desire to make it big here was sowed when he was 6 years of age. His speech was short and quite touchy. Now, coming to leaving this industry, I hope he definitely has something worth planned in his mind. He seems too passionate about his acting, about this film world too leave it all in a jiffy. On one hand he says it's just been 5 years for him, and there are many more years to come, on the other hand the plan to go into oblivion is still on. So, is it like a short term plan for him to get away from everything and live an ordinary life with his wife? Too confusing. But, from past couple of episodes, I have a feeling there is a lot more to his desire of getting away from everything than this Deepali's challenge.(Thanks to kt25. I finally seem to agree with you). It looks as if he was waiting for the right time to take a break from show biz. Anyways, we will get to know more as things unfold.

Coming to RK-Radha milap, quite nicely done. The look on his face when he took blessings from his mother conveyed as if he was longing for this. So, good for him.

Today, I felt we saw a step further in Malik-Padmini relationship(expected, as their marriage is coming up). I loved the way how he assured her that while he is there, she need not worry when she senses evil around her and thinks of her turbulent past. RK observing Malik-Padmini-Madhu from distance was very sweet. He was indulging in the happiness of his new found family.

Now coming to RK-Deepali scene, seems like he did give his first shot on the day he broke up with deepali or the day she got married to sikky, coz he asks he asks her why isnt she celebrating with sikky. Was it just me or did anyone else also feel that the tone of his conversation with deepali today was a lot different than any of his previous conversations with her or am I just imagining?? He seemed a lot more composed and relaxed, rather than disturbed and disgusted as he used to be previously. And the dialogue of the say surely has to be 'kala akshar deepali barabar'...🤣 🤣 🤣
Nevertheless, lets hope we get closure on RK-deepali soon to move forward.

Ballu is one hell of a ziddi man. Pani pahuchane ke bahane andar ghus gaya and the guard says 'bohot pani hai yaha. hume nahana nai hai' 🤣 🤣

I think the last part was just a catch for audiences. I am sure kuch gadbad hoga and they wont be able to see each other.

Down point of the episdoe:
I was really disappointed when Madhu secretively read that letter fallen off from RKs pocket. It was truly disgusting. When will this girl learn?

But the mystery of the letter continues.

Precap: as we all expected, damad sets on the mission of sasuma-sasurjee milap. How sweet.

I will try to analyze today's episode. More on an intuitive level, on an emotional actually, because I have a problem with not knowing the language of the show is broadcast. (Even my English is not very ...)

Like this: For the first time since the beginning of the series, I felt that RK has feelings for his mother. I feel for the first time, that she is his mother. For him, this act would mean more, or at least equally as Radha. He did not even bother to hide his emotions. It seems to me that he felt like someone was thirsty and you offer him water. He was not angry with Madhu, but agreed to move closer to his mother, in fact, is grateful that it helped him in this.

While RK looked happy family: father, mother and daughter, it seems to me that he had a feeling that he belongs to them and that they belong to him, that his mother was also felt. She thanked God for the fact that RK has such a solid foundation for the establishment of his family.

In today's episode of Dipali bothered me, but I think it was needed to make our reminded that there are evil people.

As far as Ballu, for the first time since returning to the series, it felt somehow primordial evil and madness that he carries. It will create a lot of headaches, unfortunately.

All in all, a great episode.

There is a woman who fled from her husband to save the lives of her daughters and self. She finds another man their savior. The man always shielded them from all grays of life. She was able to bring up her children in safety and provide them the sanctity of family and all, only and only with the help of the man. They are together and are more related to each other than any other relationship yet their relationship does not have a name.

This same woman was ridiculed by her SIL for their illegitimate relationship once upon a time. Now he has engulfed them into the fold of his family and looks up to them with so much reverence. He waits on them. He is so relieved and happy only when they arrived on the scene. He feels blessed and calm when he gets their blessings without anyone urging him to do so.

The mother, with a son when widowed remarried another man. The reasons behind her first husband's death and the circumstances under which she married the second man in her life is still a mystery. But she claims that she had no choice but to remarry and that she did that for the welfare of her child. Agreed. Looks like she didn't have any intention of ruining her son, although she did hurt him emotionally beyond repair.

Now the son who could not forgive the mother for mistake (in his eyes) is not only able to forgive but, as a SIL, is also able to go to any lengths to make the other woman and her savior happy. To the extent of getting the duo married and legalize their relationship and give the relationship a pavitra naam. Here as a SIL, the man is able to understand the relationship of the woman and her savior. The same man as a son is not able to forgive his mother so easily for the very same step she took years ago. His own wife had to push, shove, urge him to take those baby steps towards forgiving his mother. Although he wants to run into his mother's arms and just cry his heart out, he does all that his wife says with so much deliberation.

Which version of the man, SIL or son, is right here? Why such contrast in handling and understanding relationship?

Malik Padmini interactions as usual handled with usual delicacy.
Now pardon me for applying the logic here.

How in the god's name Padmini Malik will get married before she gets her previous marriage annulled? RK's thought is very noble and all but this slight legal glitch needs to be overcome. Even though both RK and Madhu are unaware of what a vile character Ballu is, Padmini certainly knows. Wonder how that track will even get started!!!

MM,

Per Indian laws, if a marriage is not functioning for more than 2 years, the marriage gains the ground for judicial seperation, which paves the way for divorce petition between either parties.

And I cannot find it anywhere online, but I remember my lawyer saying that if spouses live separately for 7 years, marriage gets automatically anulled or dissolved.

Thanks very much for your clarification. I had no idea.

Thanks also for the links you provided for earlier posts. I am a newcomer to this forum and this is the first ever hindi tv serial i am watching and i find myself baffled sometimes. Your analysis in various posts is very astute and thought provoking.

I find this story compelling and it is hard to stay away from the forum without sharing my thoughts however naive they are. :-)

Doves,

Simple to answer.

It is Rishabh the child pitted against his mother. Children have every right to be possessive of their parents. Its is parents who have to teach sharing to their children. Radha did not exlain that to Rishabh...and he just cut himself off so that she need not be burdened with him.

Its Rishabh the child who sees Padmini as one who did not re-marry even when she had the chance and even when her children liked Malik as their father figure. He sees in Padmini and Malik, how they loved their children and were always there for them, sacrificing themselves.

Its Rishabh the adult, who' sees in Padmini and Malik, how they taught their children to share relationships. It is the adult in him who sees, how two deserving partners are not thinking about themselves and that they should.

It is Rishabh the adult, who sees that Radhaji made no mistake in re-marrying, even if that was as bad a choice as Kuku Bhatia. And so he continues to support her and Bhatia family because she loves him in her own way and she would not want him(Rishabh Kundra) to disrespect his father's memory. If we remember, how he assured Radhaji that he will never do anything to belittle his father's memory, we already know what he feels for his mother. This scene was right after RK brings back Madhu from the studio. So somewhere his mother though estranged from him was still his guiding light for moral propriety. This is again shown in the painting scene how she tried to nurture his artistic skills.

He sees to it His mother and her family are provided. All he asks from them is a token of appreciation/ a blessing for him, and not fear or greed for more material wants.

We just cannot judge the man here. He is so right in every way. Even in his cynical state, he first tested Padmini and Malik with all taunts, before he completely took them under his fold. The guy just looks for worthiness before he can bestow anything on people.

SD: That was awesome. It felt really good to read what you wrote as an answer. BEAUTIFUL! You love the character RK to the core, don't you? It is evident. Such analysis!👏

Thanks so much SD! Hugs! 🤗

@ALL: Loved all the thoughts and analysis so far. Will miss the activity here as I might be away for a couple of days from the forum (traveling to attend a family function out-of-station). Have fun and take care!
