Thanks for this post, Sush ... I caught the episode this morning and I liked it a lot. Surprisingly I didn't find Paro's support for Maithili out of place ... surprising, because I usually find the lectures by the righteous bahus very out of place ... but in this case, it wasn't.
This is something Paro feels deeply about, because it's a very personal belief for her ... being an adopted child herself, and having received so much love from people completely unrelated to her by blood. And poor Maithili has no support ... neither from her spineless husband, nor from her sympathetic FIL ... Paro stood silently and watched while Mausam kaaki went on and on ... despite Maithili's pleas to just give the idea of adoption a thought, Mohini refused pointblank ... but when she started insulting Maithili herself, that was when Paro really couldn't take it any longer.
I found it ironic that Mohini asked Samrat if he was wearing bangles, why he was being so spineless ... she should be happy he's silent now, because I have a feeling the day he does gather a spine to speak, it will be for his wife, not against. But the way he stood quietly while his wife was being insulted, was disgusting.
The actress playing Maithili was very good today ... have seen her in another soap where she played a similar quiet character, here she has much more depth. It seems only the ladies in the house have any spine to stand against Mohini, all the men are useless!
Also liked the little byplay between Paro and Rudra ... he refusing to eat, she telling him ann ka apmaan hoga ... when Laila said that, he didn't give a toss ... today he sat meekly and ate what Paro dished out. 😛
Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2
