It was a special episode today! I want to be blatantly honest about the episode here. Initially, I somehow couldn't fathom why I am feeling odd about the episode..Gayatri's dialogues to SP- heartbreaking! yet, couldn't get over the initial feeling...and then, after the first break when I saw Yash sitting there, his head bowed down, face half covered in shame, fear in his eyes, looking here and there, as if scared someone is going to find him out...I felt such a pang in my heart! As Aarti consoled him, and he placed his head on her shoulders, I wanted to go and give him a hug. I could relate to everything that aarti was saying. However, that feeling of something odd persisted. After the second break was over, I could again relate to everything Pankaj and Prateek said...and then finally once again the AarYa scene...all that aarti said- so true...Yash's reactions- so perfect...the last freeze on his face- his expression there- haunting! And the episode ended! And I realized what was odd about the episode...I was waiting for Yash to be angry on SP, to blame him, I was waiting for him to blame himself, to blame Radha for swapping the kids...instead I saw a broken young boy, desperate to et some solace and some security...helpless, scared, not ready to lose his family of 30 years...and trying very very hard to believe whatever aarti said! CVs, I have grown up watching heroes...instead of real men! and thats why I was expecting a similar behaviour from yash! After the show ended I asked myself...Can a man who has just heard that he is not the son of his own parents, and no longer the brother of his own brothers, be in a position to question what is right and what is wrong? And the answer was...NO! So Hats Off to u for showing a real Man instead of the cliched noble Hero of TV! Thank you for reminding me that there are people in the entertainment industry who stil have the courage to show something as real as this! Take a Bow!
Just one small suggestion...once the day passes, and once Yash realizes that his parents still love him as much...I would like to see him asking a few questions to himself about SP and his behaviour to Radha, inspite of knowing the truth! And I am sure u will be exploring his dynamics with Radha and Akaash himself. I am waiting to see how Yash is going to get over his initial grief, and how he begins to realize how unfair and coldblooded SP has been!
