I commiserated with Gayu , Im sure we all did but her behavior , her dialogues , no they don't explain her mental state. Her transformation kind of explains how Kaikeyi asked for her beloved Ram's exile . Blood is blood. Period.
And the blood thats filth in her eyes is actually the blood that has the strength to stand against the odds , to put other before him , to be strong , unlike her impotent spineless *biological* son.
Getting a shock after so many years of marriage , at this stage can me extremely upsetting but what justifies her behavior towards Yash? So much influence Gayu & Yash have always had on each other , while Yash is having complete control over his choleric attitude , Gayu is plain indifferent as if he doesn't exist for her.
Is she in depression? Absolutely lost her conscience .
Now coming to Gayatri sons. Post revelation , step son real son dilemma , since the very beginning , one think was always loud & clear , *Yash* is different . more responsible than underachiever Pankaj & more firm than spineless Prateek. How feeble this duo can get? Which sibling won't beat someone out seeing his brother being bullied like that ! A brother with whom they spent beautiful three decades , half a life . Someone who was always there for them ! How?
Coming to Ishita . What does she want? Yash? Aakash? A sexually sound life? A harmonious hubby-wife life? She is one big mystery .
Few words on Aarti-Gayu part. Yes it was something brave on Aarti's front but why do I remember myself debating when I see Yash Aarti arguing with anyone in the family. A tight blow on Gayu's face is needed , all that Aarti needs is more facts & theories. And for time being please lessen the 'gandi naali' jaap CVs its tasteless. Or bring on the exile asap & send SP to an ICU. Though he is paying for his sins but ahh'I can neither sympathize for Gayu nor with SP. SP reminds me of catholic priests in Victorian writing :( andar se kuchh bahar se kuchh .
I'd conclude by vociferating Aarti's words , 'Yash ji you are human , not God.' Amidst the pseudo family , hypocrite well wishers , step & real mothers , half brothers , you are all alone. Except Aarti there is nobody for you. This is Kalyug not Satyuga. If doing injustice is a sin , bearing it is also a sin. RAISE your voice!
