That's good spec, Fatima. IA, I think Radha make Aarti promise not to say anything. But at some point, the truth will come out. I could see the reveal playing out as a literal family event, like most of Yash and Aarti's problems. But if Yash does find out privately, then I'm interested to see how the rest of the family will find out. I'm intrigued about his initial reaction too, in terms of the questions he asks and his response to SP, Gayatri, and Radha. Meena, feel free to call me Jac. 😳
You are right in that Ishita is PV's Lady Macbeth and from a storytelling POV she may use Akash to embezzle the Scindhiya wealth, property and status. That is she will murder the Scindhiyas socially and emotionall and not physically. Another thing the Scindhiyas pride in - is the family unity - that too will be killed by Lady Macbeth once she moves into the Mansion.
Oh, wonderfully vivid way to put it. That's very likely what we'll see happening. She'll figuratively kill or attempt to kill the family through their wealth and status, and by instigating against their unity. We've already seen her enjoy the fights Akash has had with Yash. My guess is that this will be her bonding point with Akash and her way of exacting revenge for her humiliation.
This was hinted at by the CVs when Akash eclipsed the sun (Sooraj) and later sat on SP's special chair.
Very nice point. I actually forgot about that. But I think this may also foreshadow his downfall because he sees the surface beneifts of wealth and power of the Scindia name and family, and has no idea how to handle the responsibility of it. He's going to be on a real learning curve.
It will be upto AarYa to salvage the Scindhiya unity, prestige, honor and wealth!!
In the end of course the Macbeths will die a guilt ridden death or beg mercy from the rest of the Scindhiyas.
It is interesting that one living lie of SP - should bring him so much ruin. And that the son born to Radha should play a pivotal role in rallying the rest of the family and be responsible in restoring the Scindhiya name to its former glory!
IA on Yash and Aarti. They're the heart and soul of this family, and I suspect this story will reinforce why. Honestly, I think the love and bond Yash already has with Gayatri will get even stronger.
On PV's MacBeths, exactly! I think in the long run, the battle/the rivalry/the revenge will either wear them out or their consciences will finally kick in. My guess is they'll find initial success and gratification in their attempts, but thing probably won't always go the way they want in the long run. Eventually, they may become more positive versions of themselves and we may see more honest-to-goodness romance when/if/after their current revenge and rivalry taper off. But, for now, it seems they will be the "darker" or "grayer" pairing united to foil Yash and Aarti.
On your last paragraph, what a wonderful irony that is! The Scindia son born from the other woman and his wife (a divorced woman who grew up an orphan) will very likely be the crucial ones to restore the family's stability and unity. It will be good way to play out the second theme of this arc -- individual character and integrity makes us great, not necessarily the circumstances of our conception or birth. I'm interested to see how it all plays out.
Today I did feel a bit irritated with Aarti .. I know she loves Yash a lot but sometimes I feel she gets too much involved in matters which r not so important that moment and forgets the bigger issue ... Today the bigger issue was Yash's life but she got too much involved in blasting off Radha .. I understand that Aarti felt Radha is trying to kill Yash with poison but this is presense of mind .. Why will Radha bring poison for Yash again when Yash's body is already poisoned with snake bite which will slowly spread on his entire body ?? .. So Aarti should hv used her little intelligence here but its human to panic in such situations especially when u suddenly see your husband bitten by a snake and also see your husband's enemy coming with something in her hand all of a sudden ... Its a lesson for Aarti though to keep her calm at times and use the basic presense of mind in such situations
Jyoti, your reviews are always so fantastic and comprehensive. Great read! On the quoted paragraph, I hear you! Aarti's heart is in the right place, but she is quite impulsive. She works by her gut and instincts, and sometimes it can get the better of her. It's in times like these we see how Yash's calm and reason balances her so well.
