😆 😆
Really your write up itself carries a lot of emotions Mano. I am sure the episode would have been superb and well executed 😛
Before watching the Ep I too worried how can watch this with my parents but at that moment I was too engrossed in the scene that I didn't bother about others n later noticed that my parents r more involved than me 😆😆Precap is really so sad he is not even able to stand properly 😠how can she be like this 😲I wanted to see high voltage torture scenes in jail but now after watching this I'm dropping from that idea
haha I changed from the beginning itselfThat is when PriNal's was left with no one aroundand started watching only when she tabbed himso had no chance to see my parents reaction😆😆Maahi now I wonder if they might show like in novelMrinal brands Prithu's hands with hot iron rod(but then in novel he kisses her hand that too when they barely know each other)Also he is taken in a cage around the cityLater Taliap makes him to beg too😲Here seeing him getting beaten itself is heart breakingðŸ˜
Mano I didn't read the novel but read a 40 pgs document n yes I read the rod scene cage one n even insulting him by making him beg but Prithvi faced everything with his cool attitudeBut when the team announced there will be a happy ending I thought these tortures scens won't be thereYeah if they show it according to the novel then mrinal will get only hatred from the audience but the start itself is so heartbreaking
She knows what she felt when she saw himShe knows that she was an equal partner in that kissand that's what is making her furiousShe will come to senses when she sees how SS has grown up to bher hate has given rise to more hate nd spoiled her own familyI hope they don't go too far with the torturejust 14 eps remaining
Exactly.. Yesterday in the convo with Jakkala she was talking as if he forced her but at that moment she was completely lost in his company n reciprocatedShe is running away from her feelings moving away from realityI really want to see their love story now only 14 Eps leftI'm so impressed by the team yesterday they bring something exciting every week
When their dreams are so passionateimagine when Mrinal accepts her feelings😆😆

Cinema is a medium which can be used to tell important stories but actor Ashish Sharma says in India, films often serve as the escape route people use to avoid harsh realities of life.
The 33-year-old actor, who has been a part of various television shows, is trying to tell one such truth everyone shuns transgenders and their rightful place in the society through his film "Khejdi".
The movie, which questions the idea of individual identity as a transgender person goes on a journey of self-discovery, is Sharma's big-screen debut.
"It is about an individual journey to fit in. It's about an individual's quest to find their own identity. It is relatable for every gender. It doesn't matter which gender you belong to, we all go through that phase in our life where you want to fit into the society or a group, whether it is your peer group, your family or social circle.
"Every stage of our life we all fight to fit in and find a new identity. There are rules and regulations everywhere. We have to abide by them to be a part of the society. And if we don't, then we are cast away. So it's just about that fight to fit in," Sharma told PTI in an interview.
To get the film made, Sharma had to don multiple hats. Besides acting, he has also produced the movie. He, along with his wife Archana, penned the script.
"Five years ago, I came across a short story, which was suggested to me by my father and after reading, it stayed with me all this time. I shared with Archana and she also liked it.
"She told me 'If you ever going make a film, then this should be your first'. It took us almost two-and-a-half years to write the script. And finally we shot it last year," he says.
The story provided the actor an opportunity to confront the society about the treatment meted out to the transgenders and the stigma attached to them.
"We are scared of the truth. We try to run away from it. And that is why the kind of films we watch are most of the times aspirational. They take us away from our crude realities.
"As an actor, I have always been driven by the story as I feel it enhances me both as an individual and an actor. And this story not just enhanced me but also challenged me as an actor because I had to portray a point of view which I never experienced before. I didn't just have to write it but also enact on screen," he says.
The film also has cameos by real-life transgenders and Sharma said they lent authenticity to the story.
"We never wanted fake-looking people who are trying to portray a perceived image of another person. Till now whatever films I have seen about trans people, they are made from our perspective. Nobody has ever tried to see them from their perspective. So the film is told from their perspective. They were needed in the story as they will not come with any inhibitions."
Films in India have often tried to explore the lives of LGBTQ people but television has so far shied away from addressing such issues in the shows. Sharma believes that commercial aspect of the medium has often proved to be the hindrance in getting such stories highlighted on-screen.
Asked whether there will ever be a show that talks primarily of the LGBTQ people and their rights in India and he says, "I don't think so. Not in the next 10 years. People are scared to make films here, forget about making a television show. It is all commerce at the end of the day. As a society, I don't think we are still that evolved to face it upfront. They are still not included in our society.
"In TV and films, the LGBTQ people are represented in a very cliched way. They are normal people who are born that way. If they have a certain sexual preference, then its fine. But we as a society has norms and rules, and we have to fulfil certain criterion so as to be considered a part of it. There is a huge DNA change that needs to happen."
"The journey is just beginning for us. I am happy to begin from this platform because KASHISH has become the Asia's biggest LGBTQ festival right now," he adds.
