Hey guys,
This is my take on what all those emotions and that FB scene in last night's episode meant. Everyone in this forum is going crazy which is understandable considering how strongly we feel about Mriara but hold your horses before jumping to the conclusion that there is in fact some romantic feelings between Radha and MJ.
I DON'T THINK THERE IS AND HERE ARE MY REASONS FOR WHY:
1. MJ has said that Tara is his 'moti' and her presence in his life has brought some hope and happiness.
2. He also said that he has never felt this way before and that his whole day is spent thinking about her. Now I'm no expert but people only really think about a person constantly when they fall in love properly for the first time. Based on the countless hindi serials on tv, we see that whenever two star crossed lovers come together, it's always something extraordinary where the hero and heroine are always meeting and thinking about one another - So far the only FB MJ has had about Radha is the negative coloured one and the new one where he's trying to grab what she took away from him in the dark room. This isn't enough info for us to assume that he 'loved' her.
3. As for his flashbacks of Tara, he always sees her smile, her little nok jhoks and her pleas to convince him to help her in her mission to save him. Whenever he sees these FBs, he always demonstrates a range of emotions in contrast to when he sees Radha's FB where he only experiences pain. This to me is an indication that Tara brings out all sorts of emotions and feelings in MJ which makes him human but with Radha's memories, he becomes almost beastly and destructive. True love makes people want to change for the better and not regress into a state of self-destruction. He wants to live for Tara but at the thought of Radha, he feels as though he deserves to die.
4. He has already demonstrated that he would go to any lengths to protect Tara and ensure her happiness even if it means that he would have to stay away from her. That day when Tara broke down in front him, he really wanted to comfort her and just give her a tight hug but she couldn't bear the pain. When he got shot, she was the first person he thought of. When she told him that she was being targeted by an eunuch, he pulled her to his chest and told her that as long as he was there, nothing can happen to her.
But what did he do for Radha? He took the blame for someone else's crime instead of exposing the real culprit. If he loved Radha then wouldn't he have tried to get justice for her? He would go to any lengths to protect Tara but in Radha's case he remained silent and protected the culprit - that's not love my friends.
5. MJ's expressions after finding out that she is alive was one of anguish that this whole time he had been suffering for no reason. He also displayed sadness at the fact that he didn't believe Tara when she was talking about Radha being alive. Now someone pointed out that MJ had a small smile on his face when Tara was talking highly of MJ and I saw it too! Do you guys remember when he wore that red kurta and Tara praised him? He was over the moon over that compliment because he cares about what Tara thinks of him! When do people care what others have to say? When they hold a special place in our lives.
6. Most importantly, MJ said that his memories with Tara would help him in sustaining his life in jail where he'd be happy knowing that she was safe. Before he got married to her, he used to sketch Radha and be consumed in those sad memories of her which indicates to me that he was feeling guilty and remorseful about what happened. But with Tara's memories, he feels loved and trusted. Where there is trust there is love and he followed Tara to Kaka's place because somewhere deep down he trusted what Tara had to say. After that revelation I doubt MJ will trust Radha or Kaka considering how they hid themselves from him and put him on death row so definitely no chance of any feelings of love between MJ and Radha.
This post was made in an attempt to pacify you guys and to convince everyone to think positively :)
Idk if everything made sense on this post but hopefully you understand my POV. As always, your thoughts are much appreciated so don't hesitate in leaving them behind. Hope everyone has a lovely day!
