|Why Punar Vivah? - Episode 4 Discussion|

🤗Hola Friends🤗

Well it's a great thing to Open the Discussion thread for GC's New Show! I was missing writing symbolisms.😳

Miss you Fellow Denians!😭

Please suggest a Good Title for the Episode Discussion Thread!😳

Character Sketch of Yash!

This is my first; very first official post in Punar Vivah forum so any minor mistake be ignored. As the story progressed in this week I am in love with man. So not many of you know me here as I am pretty new to the forum; though I made some wonderful friends over here. And I want to make loads of them. Love you all.

Well Yash is a guy we all love so much. He is an out and out tough guy. A very shrewd business man who can go to any length to see that he succeeds in every deal he signs. But when it comes to his family matters; we see his loving and caring nature. He has two sides. He is like a coconut; very hard from the out side but very soft heart he has. He can't see his loved ones in pain and can do anything to cheer them up. He is a man of principles after all.

After two episodes only Yash is shown as a Doting Father! The way he cares for his daughters; tries to be their Mother. Looking after their each and every need. But some things only a mother can teach the kids; not a Father. Hence yesterday's scene made him realize that he may show the Entire World that he can look Single handedly after his daughters but the Truth is the other thing. He can't Love them as a Mother. And the Truth is Always Bitter!

Yash is a Man who is Very Protective when it comes to his daughters as they are the Only last straw that Connect him to his Late Wife. He is always insecure about his Daughter's future as he knows that they will always Question about their mother. He will cater to their Needs now and then; but till when is the biggest question?

He not only is Scared of Having any Feelings for another woman; but also letting someone Else take that Place of his Deceased wife whom he loved so Dearly! We still don't know how exactly she died; but under mysterious circumstances. He is scared that he may not pay attention to his daughters once another woman enters their life. He is more scared about the Fact that how will the new woman accept and Treat his Daughters? That's what's keeping him from not agreeing for marriage.

I also found that he is pretty religious. Hope that his Faith in God retains and after his marriage with Aarti he will believe in God even more!

But I hope the PunarVivah happens. That's the only way he will believe in Love once again. He will Trust again; He will Live again.

My take on the Remarriage Track!

Remarriage is a Second Beginning to Life! Its a Journey that Helps you Forget the Scars of your Past and Helps you to Live Life Again!

A New Beginning; A New Hope; A New Journey; A New Life!

Remarriage helps you Move Ahead in Life!

Love,

Mayuuu

First and foremost can someone tell me what time Punar Vivaash airs in India?
Secondly, I will always be about a day late for episode takes.

Yash's character, I don't feel is very complex at all really. He is what he seems, as simple as he is on the outside, he is in the inside (keeps to himself...quite and reserved, with strong principles.) His emotions and what he feels he wants from life on the other hand, is a tad more complicated.

From what we have been shown, it's obvious he has a love marriage with his wife - Arpita. We don't know what he was like before her death but from what we see now he isn't the one the one to socialise or mix easily hence she must have been someone very dear to him, even before they fell in love. We see him confide to her pictures, this tells us before she passed on she was his confidante. The one he could openly express too, but with her now gone, he has bottled up his grief.

The man has built a sturdy wall around him and it's certainly not going to be hard to break through. His own mother can't get through him...a stranger will definitely have to try harder. The only people who can get through are his daughters, but fatherly love doesn't always satisfy one. You can't tell your daughters what you can tell your partner or friend. In fact, he has to always keep up a facade in front of his daughters to make sure his grief doesn't affect them.

In yesterday's episode when he couldn't brush her hair, and she wished she had a mother he felt a sense of disappointment of himself...a father can never fully fulfil a mothers place. I'm not saying, a father's love lacks, but nothing compares to one of a mother. Yash knows he'll never be able to satisfy their every wish and this makes him feel incompetent.

This is what I posted in the previous thread, a little take on episode 3...like I said I'll always be a bit late.

I have read the first page of discussion...will go back to read more again later. However, I'd only like to comment on a few things instead of a detailed analysis of the whole episode.

Firstly, they just returned from a wedding...why in the world is Ansh hungry? 😆 Unless our Yash ji didn't provide sufficient food, which is highly unlikely considering what a perfectionist he is.

My second point is Yash's family, like Jyoti said seems quite orthodox and conservative unlike Aarti's in-laws, a huge contrast between the two. I see why Bua has become so bitter...wouldn't anyone, from how she has been mistreated? She's a prisoner in her own home, and she sees every single day, her own family is trying to get their widower son married whilst she is left to rot on her own. Widows in such households have no life...My mother was widowed when I was quite young, she never had to face any of it because we don't live with out family, however I know for a fact if we did, she'd be treated the same. I'd absolutely hate to see my mother wearing pale clothes, going through what Yash's Bua is going through.

Long story short, no one is born evil whatever happens is because of bad circumstances...that doesn't justify evil acts or crimes, but everyone deserves a chance to live freely and just because you're a widow it doesn't mean along with your husband, you are to just a corpse. The practise of Sati has ended many years ago...yet we still see it in the present day, the way some daughter-in-laws or even daughters are treated is nothing short of it.

So far the show has been doing well, a few glitches here and there but nothing that can't be overlooked.

P.S is it just me or is Aarti's BG music really annoying? Oh well...you can't love everything.

P.P.S Ever since GC started coming on screen Teri Dewani has been playing like hell on TV...coincidence, or sign? ;)

Lovely breakdown of Yash's character so far Mayu! 😊

Well, that was a pretty action packed episode I have to say! I felt that it had the content of 3-4 episodes, as does every day so far actually, so when we gather to analyse a new episode I am always like, "that just happened yesterday?" 😆

Anyway for my own reference and yours, if you are struggling to keep up like me, here is a list of things that happened today so I can go through them one by one otherwise I might go crazy with all the new information!

Introduction of Yash's family - the whole enchilada
So finally we get to meet the entirety of Yash's family (I say finally like we have been waiting weeks, but what can I say, it really does feel that way), including the men with whom we had previously not had the chance to interact. So poor Vidhi is the only bahu of the house. I can see why she is bogged down and might be late with the pooja on some days! The interactions between her and her husband were adorable though and I expected to see sadness or bitterness in Yash's eyes but there was none. He seemed merely indulgent of their whimsical banter which I guess shows that he is pretty happy and peaceful in his current relationship...with his dead wife. He is only shaken out of this when people suggest remarriage and otherwise on a pretty even keel. However, it is not really healthy to be in a relationship with someone who is not there anymore as they can't give anything back and he will have to come out of this equilibrium, which will be painful at first with all the guilt and pain of letting go, but will eventually be healthy for him to continue living in the present. At this point he is refusing to let his wound heal and proudly showing it off, rather than letting it heal.

The advance/hockey stick/phone conversation fiasco
OMG! This was absolutely wonderful! 🤣
I loved Aarti in this episode and all the things we found out about her. She is clearly a fighter and not at all the sehmi type we took her for after the first episode. I love how instead of agreeing to their demands and calling her FIL out, she decided this was a problem that she could deal with herself, and how! So she was the hockey captain in college. To me that rang true with the observation I made yesterday about her being interesting to Prashant because she was unattainable in some way and that she seemed the type to scare men off (I didn't think that would come true quite so literally!). It sounds to me like she was a total tomboy who cared naught for boys and romance and Prashant made it his job to make her care. When people who are reluctant to love or just oblivious to it, do fall in love, they fall hard and it looks like that is what happened in Aarti's case as well.

I also loved how Pratik was trying to be the smooth macho man but eventually went running from her danda! It was funny that he didn't bother to tell her that he was Scindia's son and just told her that he was sent by his dad, which caused her to take them for gundas. I also loved Ansh in this scene. 😆 But then again, it shows how unweildy he is, a point they are stressing again and again which makes me think it is an intentional story arc they are opening.

And...the first verbal interaction between our two leads! I loved it. Clearly they are both people who are very imaandar and want the right thing done. Aarti doesn't let Yash get a word in edgewise and I love how he patiently heard her out despite the fact that he understood the truth of the situation long before her rant was finished. He was once again established as a man of few words, who likes to solve problems with the least drama and hassle possible.

The little interaction between Yash and Pratik was also loads of fun. I love how Yash actually has someone to whom he can complain about the incessant demand for his remarriage. Also, Pratik doesn't take him too seriously which is good for a person like Yash. He seems the type to have mad angry outbursts that he regrets in a matter of minutes so someone like Pratik is needed to brush off the confrontations with his gussa and keep talking to him. That for me is what marks their closeness.

The conversation between Shobha and her hubby (forgot his name already)
Shobha is so smart! She knows the way to Aarti's heart is through Ansh and she is ready to take out all the lowest tricks in the book to get Aarti to meet prospective grooms. The FIL is not so ready to stoop as low as using Ansh, possibly because of the reasons he mentioned but also maybe because he knows that Aarti just might give in to a second marriage for Ansh's sake and he doesn't want to create that 'majboori' for her but rather have her marry out of her desire. It was so lovely to see them talk and worry like all parents do.

The Rahudayal fiasco
Poor Aarthi! That was an unfortunate thing to happen to her. And it was indicative of what society thinks divorced women "deserve" 😡. That guy was absolutely despicable with his sense of entitlement over her and his lustful glances. I couldn't blame her for slapping him, even if she did know the situation! And the guy clearly did not take well to the rejection and the heavy blow to his inflated ego! 😲 He honestly thought he was doing her a favour?? I hate that they literally had to run away from him as he would not let it go. Unfortunately, this happens a lot in arranged marriage systems and Aarti is lucky to have the support she does from her parents (in law).

Maafi/anaat conversation
Aha! Another revelation here. This really clears one of the bigger questions I had up. So Aarti is an orphan who was accepted into this family through her marriage. I can see why Prashant's parents would be ticked off when he just left her and I am glad they refused to let her become an orphan again! And again, I love this very organic parent-child relationship. Many don't even have such a relationship with their biological parents and this is a bond formed when Aarti was already quite old so it is remarkable! The same way they worry for her feelings, she worries for their naam and izzat. There is absolutely no ego about this relationship.

So dargah...

Train scene
Phew. How did ALL of this fit into less than 30 mins??
Here again, they show Ansh as being unwieldy and doing his own manmaani all the time. Aarti is really not able to control him or exercise any real authority. This could either be because of her guilt, or because we haven't seen her snap just yet.

AAnnd their first physical encounter! I loved Yash's world-weary expression when he said excuse me. I sometimes feel the same way on trains, or on the road when people are being excessively obstructive. 🤔😆 That awkward little moment in the corridor was so naturally performed that I can't even blame it for being a bit cliched! I also loved Aarti's sorry in that where you can tell she kind of feels like a huge idiot for a second (been there too).

Precap
Interesting, so Pratik sets the wheels in motion for bhaiyya and gundi! I think he probably understands Yash better than most of the family, despite his lighthearted exterior, because he is able to brush off Yash's anger easily. He is impressed by how the "gundi" handles his brother on the phone, obviously and I think sees what Yash needs in her, both from his point of view and from the family's. I am loving this idea of even the youngsters being involved in every level of the family. And the elders not being oblivious to girlfriends, and laughing at marital banter at the dinner table. This is a sweet family, except maybe for the sketchy aunt/sister thing. 😕

Did I hear mujhe ziyada bolne wale log pasand nahi hai? Aur yeh log bolte hai ke kuch alag hai, seriously as for now no difference apart from the look 😕

Today's episode was good

Raghudayal was such a jerk chance maroing on Aarti

The old uncle deserved what he got...A tight slap from Aarti

Its very sad to know that society always talk bad about a divorcee girl's character

This is the second instance when Aarti has been a mute spectator when people have raised questions about her character

The courage that Aarti's MIL possesses, her FIL doesn't seem to have an ounce of it

First was when Yash's bro had come to collect the balance amount and he agreed to pay even without questioning them and second was one he let his DIL meet that oldie

I don't think Aarti and Yash would see face to face tomorrow

Mein Scindia..Yash Scindia 😎 Bond style

Haha, Aarti is doing thak thak on the door for the toilet and when her child do it, she says bad manners =)), arre bachcha to bado ko copy karta hai =)), teach urself first =))

got a different aspect of Yash today, his readiness to accept mistake. it did feel contrary to his yesterday's reaction to the servant😕...so i guess it is to be assumed that he is almost obssesed about his kids welfare.
cud anticipate the devar- bhabhi friendship from the interaction B/w Aarti and whaterver his name is😳... but again the over indulgence to the kid seen in the way Ansh is allowed to speak out without being chastised...to the point of rudeness😕😕
from the precap it looks like the devar is the one who plays the jodi maker...
i saw a scene shot in train after a long time...but why the train ? from the looks of it Yash's family cud afford flight? the dance in the corridor so natural👏👏... that and the train made the episode seem more real
god! what a humiliation at the mall... poor aarthi she is being taunted for the divorce over and over again... seems like she has become used to it too...the way she seemed to avoid talking about the issue...
again wonderful MIL ...her concern that the proposed boy is too old for her Aarthi was more like a mother than a MIL... and the way she kept looking at her husband for reassurance...so sweet
aarthi being quick to temper seems to project an underlying anguish and surpressed emotions... will the story give an occasion where she looses control all together?
wasn't there a kind of guilt an secrecy playing in the face of the respective well wishers in 2morrows episode😆😆...will we get the first yash -ansh encounter tomorrow?
