CURRENT STATE OF AFFAIRS:
Two marriages are smack in the middle of a mess. At the haveli, Takurs are elated at K's upcoming second wedding clueless about the seismic news awaiting them at the temple and caught in the crossfire of Kriya's battle of wills. Across town in MMGJ's infamous GH, a mature Komal has decided it's time to stop clinging to a dull, boring, absentee husband and move on. She puts her mard's happiness above her own selfish needs and sets him free to get back to his life with his Jano in Dubai.
PRAGMATIC KOMALIYA CONSENTS TO GRANT DIVORCE TO ADULTEROUS ADARSH
The collapse of Komal and Adarsh's marriage awakens a pragmatic, mature Takur girl who has finally resigned herself to see the writing on the wall of her marriage. After the initial shock of her husband's devious plan to get her thumbprint on the divorce deed Komal decides to be the better person and puts her two-timing husband's happiness above her own. She grants him the freedom to return to his lady love in Dubai and realizes that it's time for her to move on (with Chinki) and become the architect of her own future. Now that's the face of love'''.willing his happiness even if it means it ruins her marriage. She's been loyal to Adarsh like K has been to Prats over the years. In spite of Adarsh's deception she wants to protect him from SS's wrath. The Takur siblings may lack a formal education but they can teach the Sax siblings a thing or two''. among other things, honesty, authenticity and walking the talk. The educated Saxes are coming off, they are secretive and introverted as the illiterate Takurs wear their hearts on their sleeves.
THE AFTERMATH OF THE KOMAL/ADARSH DIVORCE
The breakdown of the Komarsh marriage is going to affect Kriya's life at the Takurs. Will K feel guilty for his role in Komal's marriage to Adarsh for his own selfish ends? Takurs are in for another jolt when they get wind of Komal's divorce. Would Adarsh's return to Dubai spell the end of Komal and Adarsh on the show? Their track has the potential to be interesting. How will Takurs tackle the breakup of Komal's marriage? Will Komal continue to live at GH and keep the news under wraps for now? In that case how involved will Kriya be in her life? Will Komal get her change to make it as an independent woman only to have Adarsh return from Dubai after getting a taste of his own medicine from his rich Jano or will SS get wind of the divorce before Adarsh boards that plane back to Dubai causing trouble at GH. The recent PBJ at GH fell flat, Komal has taken charge of her life and reached a pragmatic decision on her own . You go girl!👍🏼👏
KRISHNA ATTEMPT TO CORNER PRATS TO TELL THE TRUTH TO THE FAMILY FAILS
K is pulling all the stops to force Prats to spill the truth after overhearing a convo at GH between the Sax sisters. But she's proving to be a tough nut to crack. He checkmates her by deciding to remarry. Running out of options and time will Prats will be forced to cave in and admit the truth in front of everyone, but only after giving K a looong baashan about failing to live by his promises to love her. She's going to get her zor ka jhatka when K reveals he was already knew the truth. Krishna may have a bone to pick with Prats for hiding the truth from him. He better not let her off the hook for the way she went about the whole thing''''refusing to go for a second opinion, doing the rituals to guard her secret, not trusting him enough to tell him the truth and whatever else he'd like to tag along. It's about time she receives what she loves dishing out'' long baashans. K will be justified in doing so, for on the one hand he is gutted to know that he can't sire a child (that cry by the bridge was loud enough to even scare away the birds in the vicinity). On the other hand he agonizes that Prats chose to keep up the charade and mislead all of them while suffering in silence doing those rituals. In spite of it all he's willing to stand by her like he always does and let bygones be bygones if she'll only trust him enough to spill the truth. Pulling teeth would have been a whole lot easier😛 than to get Prats to open up.
PRATS IGNORES 2nd CHANCE TO TELL TRUTH, SLOW ON UPTAKE
K knows how to handle his family with any news so why hasn't she confided in him? Did she not realize he was already on her trail when he offered her an olive branch with his leading questions in the past two days? He announced his decision to remarry only after Prats refused to take his hint and offer to tell them the truth. She could have asked to speak to him in private right then. She had a chance to confront him that night but she decided against it. She had yet another chance the next morning to challenge his decision to remarry instead she was staring into space (hasn't she done that long enough?🤔) wasting valuable time until he questioned her about her red eye/wilted face and SDS barged right in😕. Left to Prats she'd prefer to let sleeping dogs lie. After 5 years of marriage she's already forgotten that when it comes to their battle of wills K will always win? He is the guy who decided she was going to be his wife come rain or shine and against all odds managed to pull it off. He's been dropping hints with his pointed questions the past two days and she's still refusing to put him out of his misery. Prats is good with PBJs but rarely applies her own advice when she mucks things up. She's not giving K enough credit to face the facts, how long can she protect K from his truth in the name of love. What kind of love is that? Grrr!!!!🤪 Will K now have second thoughts about enjoying the "katin"(difficult) path in life?
It was a raw moment when K scare the birds off their path with that torturous roar. Why doesn't he save himself the pain and tell her he eavesdropped on a convo between the sisters? Instead of asking K what was bothering him after their return from GH Prats assumed things that gave her a reason to cop out of dealing with the truth.
HELL HATH NO FURY THAN THE MORTIFIED TAKURS
Life may not be hunky dory for Prats after the remarriage. Takurs may take her to task (deservedly so) for hiding the truth of K's medical issue from them but more so for keeping him in the dark as well. Will her justifications for her actions wash with them this time? Doubtful! She'll play the weeping doll to garner K's sympathy and expect him to fend off the angry jibes from the Takurs.
To add fuel to fire, when news of Komal's divorce hits them they're going to take aim at Prats and K for it and even go after the Saxes. Shuddering Shamu may rise again. It shouldn't come as a complete shock to them after Adarsh already attempted to dump Komal with the Takurs under the pretext of protecting Prats's happiness with K (yeah right! Like K couldn't care less about Komal's happiness😛). Will K interfere and try to patch up Komarsh's marriage? Or will Komal refuse to let her maike members hold her hostage in a failed marriage and show all of them, including Kriya, she's no helpless Sax bahu but a tough Takur beti after all.👏
A FEW MORE COMMENTS:
Why didn't Krishna just tell her he knew the truth to her face instead of beating around the bush? Now he's got his own diraama going just to protect Prats from his family for her misleading shenanigans. He goes for the proven method to get Prats to spill the truth in front of everyone '.'. a havan that never fails to get Prats all fired up to give her PBJ and speech on "sahi-galat". Will she ever take her own advice to heart and live by it, or does it give her a kick to see K clean up her mess every time?
Is Prats justified in getting upset with GD when she's the one misleading all of them? GD, SS and SDS are old school, illiterates and live true to what they know. So why did Prats tell GD she had failed her in her hour of need. Not fair of her to hold them accountable when she's the one misleading everyone under that roof including K. Seems she'd prefer to play by a different set of rules than the ones she expects the families live by😳
She took K to task for lying to their families about her fake pregnancy but doesn't see anything wrong about hiding the truth about his health from him? She even gave Adarsh a speech recently about Komal having a right to know his reasons for wanting to divorce her? How does she justify hiding the truth from K about HIS reports? Had she let K in on the truth about his reports in private at some point before now she could have averted all this self-imposed misery.
Prats's well-intentioned actions shows her single-minded purpose to keep the truth buried at all costs from K and the family. Did she really think that was possible given the Takurs were hung up on K having a child of his own? She is terrified at the thought of how devastated K would be if he knew what's in the reports (he would too, if he's got ovaries,🤣) and how he'd deal with it when the Takur family turns up the dial in taunting him endlessly. Has she ever considered the possibility that SS could surprise her by going to any lengths to get K treated so he could sire a child? His KBJ better hit bull's eye and remind her that trust is a two-way street and she has to stop taking him for granted and start working on trusting him going forward.
She is also misleading the Takurs this time about a matter that they are emotionally invested in. Their actions are based on what she has led them to believe? She too treated K with contempt after she married him believing he was her kidnapper. It won't come as a surprise if K distances himself from Prats for a while if the past is anything to go by. She has forgotten that beautiful speech he gave her about trust on the eve of his birthday. Any chance he will bury the hatchet right away, forgive Prats, put the past behind them and seek medical help right away? It's quite possible K may be distracted with fending off the Takurs from going after Prats yet again in the near future.
Go ahead, make my day 👍🏼and have your say posterwas! 🤗
