Today's episode had nothing much to offer IMO except a bit of dragging and some romantic scenes (which seemed kind of forced to me).
But I was happy to see Dugba totally softening towards him. She had reposed trust in him when no one else was convinced. And Saras proved her right.
It was touching to see Dugba's and Gun's conversation about Saras and reminiscing about yesterday. Gun ko bhi kehna pada, "Kuch baat toh hai iss ladke mein!"
It is awesome to see that SC team has shown that past is forever relevant and that ties forged, interactions sought and ethics taught and learnt during childhood never go away! It was beautiful to see Gun and Dugba acknowledge that Saras retains the purity and truthfulness of Saraswati in his character.
I am really happy that Saras' struggle and sacrifices paid off, his patience yielded fruit and now everybody acknowledges his virtues.
It was irritating to see that Guman taunt and hurt the already anguished Kumud so much! 😡
What a jealous, rude, insecure, venom-spitting vamp she is! Does not even have sense to talk to a young girl who is old enough to be her daughter? Kumud knows she's been refused by Saras. What was the need to sprinkle salt on her wounds and ache her already cracked heart which she is trying so hard to nurse? 😭
Today Kumud showed she has a child like vulnerability yet also has the self respect of a mature grown up girl. She was hurt but she tried her best to hide it and pushed Saras away from her. I felt very bad for her today.
It was like a chain of hurtful behaviours started by that Guman! She insulted and hurt Kumud. Kumud in her insult and guilt, angrily turned Saras away from her and told him to stay 4 feet away from her at all times!
Or else yesterday's incident would have brought the two closer and softened their stance towards each other!
Poor lovers can't even stay away from each other...keep taking care of each other even if they resolve to remain away or throw each other out of each other's lives!
It's romantic for sure but in a very sad way given how a spectre like Guman keeps haunting their delicate sapling of a relationship!
This serial is showing beautifully how actions and issues of adults done in past keep haunting the kids and keep interfering even in their kids' happiness.
Seeing this sometimes I wish SaMud run away like Raj-Rashmi of QSQT and declare to Guman that they won't inherit the legacy of hate. (I did not recommend a DDLJ or MPK type mission to convince everyone because Guman is too evil to be reformed or softened or convinced to be nice.)
Ah! Wishful thinking! Both are to sanskari and attached maan maryada of family to do something like this.
Nice balance of happy and sad scenes in tonight's episode even though I felt it was kind of a filler episode.
It's somewhat of a reversal in their positions. Saras is finally getting love and attention from the happy environment in Kumud's family and village whereas Kumud is having to face pain as she gets introduced to the cold, unfeeling members of Saras' dysfunctional family and the bruised side of Saras too - who still has not revealed to her why he refused her hand in marriage.
Poor Saras blames himself for causing pain to those he is close to. But someone make him realise it's not his fate rather the adults around him who ruined it for him!
It's sad that when he learns of Kumud's pain caused by Guman he'll probably again blame himself too. 😭
