I like that they did actually show a Sheshnaag-Jyotishmati backstory to Balram-Revati; although it was a mixture of the mythological stories about Revati and her previous birth as Jyotishmati, at least what they showed was reasonable and made some sense in terms of the RK show setup of still having Balram in Vrindavan rather than in Dwaraka when he meets Revati. It appears that at least one of the writers has learnt a new skill to some extent - writing things that actually make some sense! (Baby steps, baby steps!) And this will hopefully give those poor souls who think that everything shown in the RK show is actually true (!) SOME understanding of the revered characters of Shri Balram and Devi Revati, rather than them just getting excited about the Balram character getting a "girlfriend" in the show!
Being one story where the protagonists, Balram and Revati, are already actually destined to be together, I an NOT looking forward to seeing how RK's Radha and Krishna - who have been soooooo successful (note: sarcasm!) at teaching us all about love - attempt to teach Balram about love! 😔 God only knows what the writers have in store for us all!
I very much dislike the way that the writers continue to portray Balram as being brainless, or having other characters think that he is brainless. I didn't like it when Kutila actually thought that to herself in Monday's episode, but I wasn't surprised by it because she thinks she is the smartest and everyone else is stupid. What is the real insult is the way that the writers continue to treat the Balram character disrespectfully in general. Shri Balram, the RK character of Balram, and Basant deserve much, much better.
The way they continue to flip-flop around disrespectfully with his Balram character in RK is one of the reasons I hate that Basant had to leave VG; I know he had to leave one show for all practical purposes and I respect that and will try to stop bringing this up over and over again (sorry!), but the way RK continue to be silly about his character is grating, big time!!! 😡
Hopefully they won't treat Balram too much more horribly in this upcoming "love story" bit! I don't hold out much hope (keeping all hopes underground) but it would be nice if Balram and Revati actually recognise each other from their encounter as Sheshnaag-Jyotishmati in Brahmalok. 😊
BTW, Tusu, Jyotishmati's father in Brahmalok with the mukut is Chakshush Manu, not Kukudmi (who is Revati's father, who we haven't seen yet). With this weird plan that Pralambhasur and Kans are making for getting King Kukudmi to organise a wrestling festival to find the most worthy husband for Revati, it will be really weird if they somehow actually put Krishna and Balram against each other in the akhada!!! 😕
RK's Pralambhasur is lucky - he actually survived Kans's plan (making him only the second asur to achieve this feat, after that Chalasur who went as a fake pundit during Chadravalli's wedding festivities), and now that he has advised Kans to get King Kukudmi to organise this wrestling festival to "help" him find a worthy son-in-law, seemingly Pralambhasur has some weird role in uniting his destined muktidaata, Balram, with his destined wife, Revati! 🤣🤣🤣 Haaayeee! The weird stuff the RK writers come up with!!!
