ON SHAKTI:
As I replied to Amor's topic on today's episode, Shakti does value his father deep down. And it is evident that apart from his own insecurities, it is also provocation and taunts by others (including even servants!) that make him feel inferior and bitter towards his father and Pratap.
That crap guard took out frustration of US on Shakti. 😡 But Shakti did not get as angry at his own insult as he flew in rage at insult of his father! 😲 Shakti could NOT take a word of BS against his father!
It shows ties of blood do matter. And Shakti was not merely a thankless, spoilt, bratty prince who was a born traitor!
The way Shakti slayed the guards and escaped, shows he does have ability to fight. He has talent. May not be like Pratap but not useless either.
Shakti's biggest motivator is rage. In rage he even overcame pain of his injury and fought with the same hand which he had cut. He is damn clever also - which was evident in how he took the key and escaped out of the prison and later with Pratap also he for a second pretended to be in pain but kicked him at once when Pratap loosened his grip over him thinking of his injured hand!
The boy is skilled not only in physical warfare but also knows psychological warfare given his tact!
Too bad he was not aware of US and Pratap's convo about him. 😕 He is so embittered that he felt he just had to take his mother along and run away.
He thinks no one values him and his mother. He assumes he and his mother have to take favour/support through Pratap/Jaywanta bai or Bhaatiyani. On their own, he feels, he and his mother get nothing.
He is wrong in his belief. But it is evident why he believes this. 😕
He clearly said he didn't know where he'd go, but all he wanted was to get himself and his mother out of US' qila.
It just shows how father's negligence towards him has made him feel stifled!
I feel bad for him. 😕 All wrong and impulsive things done by father and son towards each other at all wrong times and fire further fuelled by trash elements like servants/guards and that poison-filled Bhaatiyani!
Sone pe suhaga! The royal astrologer also predicted the worst for him and branded him a future destructive force in advance! US was about to express concern for Shakti as a father and just then astrologer's words pushed the father aside and gave way to the king who felt his empire was threatened by this boy! 😡
I wonder why this astro guy did not predict about Bhaatiyani or Jagmal! 🤢
Not just Shakti's defiance of breaking through the prison, but the BS prediction of Raj purohit also kept ringing in US' ears as he withdrew from signing the order for Shakti's release! 😲
Hadh hi hai! Jo hua bahut galat hua! 😕
ON SAJJABAI:
From tonight's episode it is CRYSTAL CLEAR that she is a weak woman and an even weaker mother! She is basically a SCARED woman!
She kept crying but why couldn't she calm Shakti for even a second and make him see sense? Why didn't she listen to him? Why didn't she tell him that Pratap was only concerned about him as a brother and it was familial love and not just favours that made Pratap do something for him?
Why was she SO PANICKY? 😡
Sajja is a clueless woman!
Rana ji's very voice and gaze makes her tremble and numb. Shakti makes her weepy and panicky!
Shakti dragged her and held her hands, saying they both should leave, then why couldn't she handle him?
Why doesn't she recognise Shakti's psyche? His feelings towards her, Rana ji and Pratap? And why doesn't she try to correct Shakti's notions about others?
Okay, she knows he does not like to take Pratap's help. But why couldn't she use tact tonight? She could have either stopped Pratap and told him not to come in front of Shakti and not to let him know that it was his help due to which he was being pardoned. Pratap would have obeyed her. Or she could have told Shakti that he helped Pratap get into gurukul and now Pratap helped him so it was a "hisaab barabar" deal! And both should let it go since there is no one-upmanship going on here!
Sajja just loses her presence of mind in panic! No use of tact on her son or anyone else!
Worst is that she does not even take Jaywanta bai's help in handling these matters! Jaywanta bai would be more than willing to help!
When Shakti beat Pratap, why did she shout only at Shakti? She could have shouted at Pratap also to stop when he retaliated just so that Shakti does not feel he was the only one to be hauled up. Later she could have apologised to Pratap or told him why she shouted at him so that he also understood the matter.
Sajja is helpless and clueless - as a woman, wife and mother. A very weak and scared woman who cannot take a stand anywhere.
The mishap tonight could have been managed a bit better or prevented from escalating if she had not been so scared and spineless!
I can understand her helplessness as a female that too in those times. In fact her scenes make me wonder who decides a woman's status? And her place? At times husband dictates, at times relatives try to mould her and at times kids hold her hand and drag her where they feel it would be fit to take her! Aurat ki apni koi marzi bhi hoti hai kya? 😕
ON THE GREAT UDAY SINGH:
Today's episode showed he did have a heart for someone other than Bhaatiyani and Pratap!
I did not like his unwillingness to listen to Pratap initially! 😡 It was intervention of Raawat ji or else Pratap wouldn't get any chance to be heard!
His discussion with Pratap on laws and rules was good. He heard Pratap but was firm enough to remind him of nitty-gritties of laws - that injuries are considered not self harm!
While on surface level US is right that Shakti is responsible for what he is suffering NOW (jail). But in a larger context, Shakti alone is NOT responsible. I wish US had realised he also had some role in this!
He thinks and talks mostly like a king and less as a father.
All credit to Pratap's heartfelt pleading that the father in US came to the fore for a while! 😊
But I think he was more impressed by Pratap's love and concern for his brother and majli maa sa than love for Shakti.
His priority is surely Pratap before anything else!
He at once thought of Pratap when astrologer predicted danger for one of his kids.
He was reassured once Raj purohit cleared that Pratap had a great future.
Momentarily I felt he behaved like a father when he thought of Shakti in shock and any danger to his life.
It is so sad that his change of heart was weakened by the purohit's prediction that Shakti would prove to be a cause of threat to his kingdom!
Why didn't he jump in rage at the purohit's prediction? Why didn't he say he'd so any remedy or pooja to prevent this? Why didn't he ask for advice on how to handle this? 😲
His silence and the continuous reverberation of the purohit's words on Shakti in his mind, seemed to prove that he already had a low opinion of Shakti and the Raj purohit's prediction only supported what he subconsciously thought of Shakti! 😕
His slowness and reluctance in forgiving Shakti and stamping orders of pardon of his sentence proved he was more of a king and less of a father when it came to Shakti.
The guards' information about Shakti's prison break to him seemed like the spark that was needed to make combustible material explode! 😲
Once again rage and ego have taken over him and now he won't listen to Shakti's side of the story. That astrologer's prediction might not have come true earlier, but now it is US' karma (of hasty action against son) that would ensure that this BS prediction someday comes true!
I wish Rana ji that you had realised that good karma was needed not just on Shakti's part but also your OWN part to turn around that crap prediction! 😡
Given the behaiour of US' men - I am dead sure he was NO great shakes as a king! All shout and snarl. No astute administration, no true control and no respect among his own staff! 👎🏼
How come his servants have the nerve to cross their limits like this and taunt his kids, bark about him on their face?! How come he is clueless about his reputation? How come he has neither been able to strike fear in his servants nor any reverence for him? How the hell he kept trashy people employed in any position despite their mistakes?
Uday Singh ji is NOT much of a success as a leader, as a king or administrator!
The rest, we have seen what a great husband or father he has been! 🤢
Rather by carrying his family feud to the court and scolding his son publicly he further ruined his own reputation and made a tamasha of himself and his family!
On several counts, in several ways this man is WRONG due to which he and his family have problems.
I have NO sympathy for him.
He will punish Shakti for that servant who was disloyal and disrespectful anyway.
He won't try to find out why something happened. He'll just listen to astrologers or others (staff) instead of using his own brain.
He is a man who is driven by his ego and is prone to influence of others. This time a Bhaatiyani wasn't needed to fill his ears. An astrologer's words alone sealed it for him - plus barking by guards who narrated their story but did NOT tell the root cause of all this! 😡
I am shocked how negative he is on Shakti and how he forgot astrologer's disclaimer before the prediction (that it may not be necessarily true and it may be changed by better karma) but only dwelt upon that prediction of doom on Shakti!
Go on! Jaaiye aur kulhaadi par khud hi paer maar dijiye Rana ji! 😡
ON PRATAP:
This boy is a diamond! 👏
Poor kid tried his best to convince his father for a change of heart. He was determined as a brother but his fear as a son was palpable in his hesitation, breathlessness and trying to look away from Rana ji's piercing eyes.
Kudos to Faisal for his performance! 👏
BUT! This boy still lacks tact!
He knows Shakti dislikes taking help from him. So he could have tried to pretend as if he did not help him but Rana ji himself was reconsidering his decision or it was due to Sajja bai that Shakti was about to be pardoned.
Pratap genuinely loves Shakti as a brother and wants to reach out to him. But he does know how Shakti perceives him. So how could he promise Rana ji that he would take responsibility of Shakti's conduct in future? 😲
Pratap is very wise. But he is a kid. He is not older to handle someone like Shakti who - even his father, mother and guru struggled to handle.
Pratap could have tried to take Jaywanta bai's help instead of facing Shakti himself.
And I think it's high time that Pratap came to terms with this fact that Shakti hates him (or is insecure of him or feels slighted due to him).
Pratap tries to take on too many responsibilities on his hands - but those are out of his ability to manage because he is still young and inexperienced!
He's too small to deal with temperamental and psycho people around him. 😕
Though Shakti was wrong in attacking Pratap, I think Pratap should not have retaliated to him. He should have let him be and tried to calm him down.
And if he had to retaliate then he should have fought properly and controlled him! He again lost concentration and released Shakti when he saw him in pain as he grabbed his injured hand!
WHY?!! Shakti took advantage of that emotional weakness na!
Pratap should either quit trying to manage everything or quit being a softie and learn to use tact! Warna khud hi pitega!
Anyway, I am in awe of the golden heart he has! 😊 Poor guy running from pillar to post to get evidence of the entire incident and somehow convince Rana ji to go soft on Shakti!
His concern to keep his family bound together despite whatever they do to him is so touching!
Hard to believe he is Uday Singh's son!
ON JAYWANTA BAI:
That Bhaatiyani keeps news of all that goes about the palace. Shouldn't Jaywanta bai have more info being the main queen? She only calmed Sajja bai and left. Why wasn't she aware of Shakti's escape? Is she aware of Pratap's efforts to get Shakti pardoned? If she is, then why doesn't she realise that Pratap can't do it alone? 😲
Okay, she can't face Rana ji because he has declared he doesn't want to see her face. But shouldn't she focus on Sajja actively in her own capacity or guide Pratap in helping Shakti or help Shakti and Sajja herself? And guide them to sanity?
Shakti will once listen to Jaywanta bai because she is Rani ma. But he can't tolerate Pratap.
And Jaywanta knows that being an adult she can have better effect as a guide and negotiator between the kids rather than leaving the kids to handle all the mess themselves!
I am disappointed why Jaywanta bai has not sensed all this and has not played a crucial role in intervening in this mess.
Forget Shakti. She can at least counsel Sajja on how to handle challenges of bringing up a growing boy with a temper!
Too bad she only focuses on Pratap and not the rest of the mahal.

It shows ties of blood do matter. And Shakti was not merely a thankless, spoilt, bratty prince who was a born traitor!
