Ironical...one daughter supports her mother, helps her to let go of a terrible past and move forward. The other daughter walks into the past and pulls it closer into the mother's life. Is it just the difference between a soutela and real daughter...don't think so. Trishna has always been selfish and self absorbed, her core nature is such. She loves her mother but her ambition and greed win over her love, and how does Balraj recognise that trait in her??!! He recognises that streak of selfishness in her just as he comprehends Madhu's compassionate streak...another astute, shrewd character in MBEIEJ.
Trishna's about turn today also focuses on the desperation that wannabe actors face in the movie industry. Dreams, ambitions, looks are just not enough, you need that one stroke of luck or a powerful mentor. In this case, her mentor is technically RK, but she does'nt know that, she is willing to accept Balraj as her stepping stone into the glam world. She signs the contract and accepts a 20 lakh signing amount!! It is a pathetic turn for the character, but cynic that I am, I had sort of guessed she would go this way.
Balraj comes to RK mansion ostensibly to inform him of his success with Trishna. He meets Madhu, chats with her in his loony, crazed manner and makes her uneasy. That whole drama yest when he walked behind her to hit her, was just drama, he cuts himself and Madhu being Madhu immediately bandages his cut for him, all along feeling extremely uncomfortable with his talk and behaviour. He intimidates her with his talk and leaves, not before forcing a box of sweets in her hand. His aggression disturbs madhu. RK in his token guest appearance (ok, stop being sarcastic Soundarya, we can't have dreamy scenes everyday, accept it, move on😆), is annoyed that Balraj came home. But he keeps mum when Madhu asks him further questions about Balraj's business with him.
Pre-cap- Trishna blurts out the name of the producer to Roma...Malik and Paddy overhear.
