Gosh Suk so many points, ok i'll start with Kokila first...I actually hated her to begin with, all the talk about choosing a bahu that she can wrap around her index finger, then when Gopi was taking pointers from Baa on how to get close to Aham, Kokila overhearing that conversation and saying this girl wants to take my place in Aham's heart..............she was extremely insecure, they is a clip of GoHam moments when Gopi, Kokila and Aham are in the bedroom packing for Aham when his going on a business trip, Aham cannot open his cuflink Gopi was in-front of Kokila and was walking towards Aham to help him, Kokila overtook the bahu and went to do it for Aham, and Aham said to Kokila what would i do without you Mom..............i was so disgusted with her at that point........then she gave Gopi a demeaning stare and walked out of the room (putting Gopi in a lowly rank in Aham's affections), when she left the room her other Kadgri walked in Kinjal, talked really rudely to Gopi, Aham turned from the mirror and told Kinjal off, is that the way we were taught to behave apologise to her, Kinjal did and Gopi said it was ok.
Kokila always had the intention to compete the bahu's to outsiders, if Gopi gave the heavy gold chain to Rashi to wear, so what I agree, Rashi liked it and Gopi wanted to make her happy, when those ladies said Rashi was shining more and more radiant than Gopi, Kokila couldn't take it and lost her temper, i think i haven't seen her more upset all this time on the show, Hetal told her so what both are our bahu let it go Kokila, but she wasn't listening, at that point i would have liked Baa to talk, to tell Kokila to be silent as she wants to talk to her, then send the two bahu away from there, and speak to Kokila and Hetal (like Naani did in the bahu exchange...........tell Kokila stop competing like this, you are scaring the bahu, they are sisters and one sister gave the other one a gold necklace so what, both are married to brothers in the modi family, the wealth is not leaving the house, it will remain there, so why stop them from being loving to each other? Stop being competitive in the same house, my bahu is better than yours mentality). But Baa just watched as Gopi was punished and all those gold pieces were put on her and she was walking around like a freak, Kinjal the youngest member of the house couldn't respect her older brothers wife if she is told to put all those gold on her (be in charge of punishing her can she?)
That next day of marriage, Gopi sang the song everyone came to the mandir and she forgot the sindoor on her maang. Hetal did the right thing, giving the sindoor to Gopi to take to Aham to put it on her, but again Kokila interfered...........i think had Aham filled her maang that time, it would be like a morning ritual, Gopi would take the sindoor to him and he would do it for her, when he came back from jogging, as that's where he was, when she was at the mandir cleaning and singing the song.............Kokila stopped him from doing the sindoor ritual again because of jealousy.................why would you find a wife for your son, if you are not ready to see him be in love with another woman, you want him under your control..stil a child..so why get him married...she is hard on Rashi and Urmila because they are too close what about her and her son's closeness?
So i hated her in the beginning, Aham's self centered behavior him considering himself before his wife (he considers his comfort and work first before Gopi, as per what Mom said), Kinjal's cheeky behavior (telling the younger one put this gold on her punish her....what respect is she going to have for her Bhabhi?) it is all her fault, the reason i started to warm to her, is she is clever (she catches on to Rashi tricks quick) and the same hard behavior she had towards Gopi in the beginning on Gopi's marriage to Aham, she has employed on Kinjal during her track and eventual marriage and on Aham now with the GoHam track restarting (with the Vachan). So let's just wait and see how she is going to redeem herself, by putting together what she separated.
Hetal - This Bahu exchange in the beginning i thought would benefit Kokila only and Rashi only and free Gopi and we will have more GoHam scenes (they would get closer), but now by what happened with the nail polish in the Ghujia, i saw something in Hetal's face i've never seen before her eyes were open on Friday., when Kokila challenges Rashi again she also will not be too ready to defend Rashi, after she's not her responsibility, she is watching and learning how to manage Rashi too, as Rashi often when she questions her turns it the conversation on it's head and blames Hetal, you never look after me, anyone can say whatever they want to me and you don't say anything, but imagine Hetal knows because Gopi took Rashi's place at the beauty palour Rashi poisoned the food with nail polish, how low is that? Hetal will recognise that her bahu just want to sabotage Gopi and that is her character. I hope Kokila works her even harder, not allowing her breathing space even to put her mind to ways to blame Gopi for something, but at the same time i want that idiot Gopi to realise what is going on, snap out of it Gopi and realise that Rashi is your enemy, Kokila stare at Hetal then pointedly at Gopi before walking out of her room after the Ghujia thing, was to show them both, do you see what character Rashi is....this serial is getting really interesting 😉, i'm glued.
