Episode 159 Discussion: 2nd Jan 2013 - Page 4

@Shri - I did not even recognize that the lady next to Padmini was Radha in the precap. I just went back to watch it again and now I am wondering was it a coincidence that they both met at the temple or did Radha call Padmini and ask her to meet at the temple to find out what went on between her and RK in order for her to slap him.

A few points that struck me, they could be repetitive so pls bear with me:

• When RK and Madhu walk into their house, and they see Radhaji..RK tells her he's going upstairs. His face is not at all annoyed on seeing Radhaji, in fact, I thought he sort of indicated to Madhu to tell her what had happened..[SD] Agree. I felt the same. It was like he indicated to Madhu that you tell her why we are so late.
• Trishna's reaction was expected...it was the same first reaction that all of them had on hearing the proposal. Of course, her blaming madhu blindly was unwarranted. She may come around given that there's been news about them dancing at the mehndi.
• Will Trishna accept the offer just to get rid of Balraj? It is uncharacteristic of her, just when she should be telling people about his presence, she keeps quiet. Esp when this whole marriage thing coming up, how can paddy marry when she hasn't divorced Balraj, and he is back in the same city!! But this is the typical soap silent chaos created just so that there can be a dramatic revelation two weeks later. [SD]: To me her keeping quiet now makes perfect sense. why ? No matter what Balraj should not see Padmini. Isn't it the survival reason why Shamsher staged the drama of her being killed. Else Balraj would never have stopped hunting them down. So she had split second decision to make ...by agreeing to do the cinema, she will have Balraj leave before either of them see each other. Now if there was no Padmini-Shamsher marriage drama going on, logically she should be disclosing that Balraj is back in town. But she may again decide to let it slide as the marriage will not happen if the Balraj news is out. But yes, why No ONE is asking, how can Padmini marry a Shamsher without divorcing Balraj. Fine by law their marriage is non-functional...but how about ritualistic removal of her mangalsutra and sindhoor that Padmini is wearing in the name of Balraj. Shouldn't the woman at least look devoid with all marriage symbols from her previous marriage ? Questions galore my mind. But then I am willing to wait.
• The pillow removal scene was 3 seconds more than what they showed in the pre-cap!!! But then, I guess it was needed to show their increasing comfort with each other. If madhu was upset with the prank RK pulled, he wanted to show her he meant it in good faith, didn't mean to hurt anybody with it. And he wanted her to believe him, that's why he reached out and she understood. It was lovely...the silent understanding they have, the communication they have portrayed so beautifully. [SD]: Agree. Also did you notice the editing bloopers. MB's hand was already spread out for the entire length post pillow removal. And yet the last scene is shown as of she is giving out her hand now...😆

On an aside...I have already started writing to Colors to get them married quickly, how long will they love like this? It's terrifying to see the number of pillows remaining😆

[SD]: Good. 👍🏼

You know off late, I too was missing his Ts. I was like...everyday these days I get to see him in shirts or almost baggy Ts for night. And I was like I miss the sleek and stylish Ts... nevertheless they disappointed me with what he was wearing. Coz I didn't like its baggy look and the way he covered whole of his front with that scarf. Did he develop a paunch ?

Whatever!! I feel bad for myself that I scrutinize like this. But who cares? I get scrutinized for what I wear everyday and yet I wear what I like, so why stop me from scrutinizing others looks. 😎

Hi...Kaustav here. Hope I am not intruding. I am not much used to posting, but do enjoy reading the many interesting posts in this thread.

Would I be crossing the line and pushing my limits by suggesting that maybe all these years, during Karva Chauth, Padmini was fasting and praying for Shamsher's health and well-being? After all, what sort of husband was Balraj to her that she should observe the vrat for him?

On Padmini's part, it was perhaps nothing more than a form of acknowledging and thanking God for Shamsher's support. A fervent prayer and nothing more. But everyone perhaps just assumed that it was for Balraj. No one bothered to find out.

But is Padmini that sort of woman? Given the type of woman that she is, which is strong and self-respecting, can this be a possibility?
