Arshi, love your song-choice, and enjoyed the episode as well, though it was not as engrossing as Monday's... Like you, wish Kumud hadn't told a lie about that Ghoonghat!😕

She is desperate to keep Saras at a safe distance with her anger acting like a "marital/social" seat belt keeping her in her "correct slot" (afraid of what she might do when the anger fizzles out...) She is even more desperate to keep up pretences about Pramaad (afraid what the truth might do to her ma-bapu-badima) Kumud 2.0 is living a nightmare. Cant wait to see how she answers Kusum's question.

Oh no, Shana...

BD already made the comment that "normally" such a self-endangering rescuer would only be someone who loved Kumud "jaan se zyaada", and he thought Naveen is so noble to have done that for a total stranger... Second time around, even BD's tubelight may start flashing like those pilot lights on his escort cars! 😆

Arshi your post is much better than the episode.. After yesterday's eventful day, today was relatively ''thanda'' You are right..Kumud lying about the vrat seemed childish.. like a bet she wanted to win at any cost.. At that point it appeared like her childish pride had taken over her thinking rationale.. She is not thinking straight ..that is quite evident.. the reflection of her own inner self is condemning her actions.. that pretty much says her mental state right now.. I like the pro active Saras who gets into the thick of things and looks in control.. Kalika reappearing means ''parda uth jayega , bhed khul jayega'' how soon?.. we will see! On the Desai front, I love how Guniyal left Sunny and Kusum alone, after assuring her help to find Saras.. 😆 like where did she go to find Saras? In rasoda?🤣 Budhidhans are all gandhari.. lol Kumud actually seems like a samaan in that house.. serving food and assisting the house help Murakh Das.. No one cares if she's eating.. no one notices that she is walking around with a palla, unless mehmaan ji points out.. 😕

Yes Arshi, Lots of Pardhas and terrible dressing sense and make up for both Kumud and Kusum.

Todays highlights were:

Old Kumud talking to new Kumud. Saras all set to hit the nail.

Kumud: I don't even feel bad for you today. Right from sarees to makeup to crying n crying….not much scope. Oh, I so miss our old Kumud!

Saras: Loved you today…but why you are hurting yourself. Galtie ka javab galtie nahie hota ha. If you keep hurting yourself, how will you win this battle? You have to be strong not mentally but physically too. Your face off with Pramad and Kalika was super good. What a killer looks you gave to Kalika. Helping villager reminded the scene when you were mad at Kumud and ploughed wheels in that field. History is repeating but in different form and shape. Excellent question you asked today, why is your DIL with veil?

BD and family: preach before you teach. It is so sad to see how parents want DIL to fix their son. They can't fulfill their responsibilities…I know I know…we chatted all about this parenting issue. Shame on you, such parents!!

Kusum-sunny, hope to see you team up soon. Kusum, please fix your makeup…you looked horrible in that eye brows and eye liner.

Overall: 7/10, skip it!

missing old saras kumud days...not liking this strangely subdued Kumud...want saras to bring out sherni in her back again...

..i mean sherni in front of society and not just in front of Saras

i agree Kalika needs screen space ...i like her she is good masala in the the samud dish which has become tastless these days

Hoping for more Pillars and Chandeliers to fall

Pramad Kalika come in action guys... we need ur Kill Kumud mission back in action so that we have Hercules Saras in action with Kumud beneath ...this time it should be hot.!!!...cvs mind it

BD family is totally senseless just like LN.

Kumud..lost and split between right and wrong. Loved Saras determination. we need more masala fights between Pramad and Kumud. Just pushing wasn't enough. I don't think Saras knows everything about Pramad. I want Saras digging Pramad's background.

Wasn't BD supposed to go on tour and Saras taking care of house? What happened to that?

The tour happened before the press conference.. he said that in the opening speech.. I was hoping to see some drama while he is out but it seems they only wanted Saras to use the analogy of the flood victims to communicate with Kumud infront of her in laws ..also to convey his apology ..

arshi...

on the dot as usual...perfect song reflecting the sentiment for the epi...

1) And well we are off the treadmill and have boarded the train which is leaving the station for the next leg of the journey. Finally!!

I actually went back and referred Ivy's post in the last CB...it was so prescient...
Take a bow Ivy! Most of the below flows from the understanding of your last post. 👏

2) Kumud has regressed in a submissive Beta state and her instinct is to remain in that because:
- she has no control in the new environment and everything has slipped away.
- she's at the total mercy of every-one and everything in this new world.
- she's broken because her true love deserted her. So why even bother to live let alone fight.
- she's like a zombie ...a living dead.
- the trauma of this fall into the abyss has almost entirely erased her old identity

But even in this abyss she's still fighting.

The paradoxial problem though is that the ONLY REMAINING vestige of her old identity ... of the old kumud she knew she used to be ...in her present environment ...is her marriage to Pramad... Take this out and poof! ...there is no old kumud...The End.

Consequently, chained into a cage, deep down in the abyss...she is holding on to this shred of her old identity...and defending it to the extreme...

The moment she even admits that there is something wrong about the whole personal relationship with Pramad and / or her marriage...its all over for her..she won't exist as the kumud she knew she used to be...

So the irony is that a previously strong kumud has become a subservient kumud in order for the strong kumud to survive!

Loved the depiction of this irony in the double role scene!!

3) Saras is now bathed in the light of enlightenment (Finally!!!).
- He's realized that his need for an apology is too trivial a need. There are significantly huge stakes in play now.
- The past cannot be changed and in the present the kumud he loved and still loves is all but lost.
- Even kumud does not realize how far gone she is.
- If he does not intervene there will be no kumud that he loved in the future.
- Therefore to ATONE for his mistake, the LEAST he can do is unshackle kumud and bring her back from her abyss.
- He will have to push the envelope.
- So he's now an Alpha because he now has a purpose.

4) And what an EXACT role reversal...
- first saras did not know the why, what, how, when he was broken...and now kumud is the same.
- saras fought tooth and nail to remain in his abyss...and now kumud is doing the same.
- earlier kumud was aggressive and pushing saras up through the steps of the ladder out of the abyss BUT which had the potential to create far more irreversible damage...steps which often bordered on being utterly reckless...and now saras has started on that path!
- when kumud was pushing saras and saras was pushing back he still followed kumud anyway because of Mr. Ehsaas which he could not define at that time ...but which caused an implicit faith in kumud...I am sure we will see this same effect when kumud starts coming up..e.g. After all this the fabulously powerful 'Tumhe Meri Kasam' ...Mr. Ehsaas is still around though now kumud can't define it under the new circumstances.
- kumud cared a damn what others thought, what is right, samaj kya kahega etc. etc...saras is doing the same..
- kumud BROKE all the rules / asks / requests SET by saras when she single-handedly went to war for his soul...now saras is doing the same...

So I don't think it was thanda at all...in fact red hot for me as the pieces came together...

😊

Edit:
@smrth-
your question on locus standi of saras hopefully answered today.
Believe its a combo of above points and an emotion / rationale level higher than marriage, ex-lover, current lover etc. >>>> Duty.

Saras won't rest until she blurts the truth

@hotdogg ur posts r always heavy for me and often i never try to understand them ...

...but today i easily understood all u wrote and for the first time i feel u spoke exactly my mind ...at least today one thing got proved ...i am not as dumb as i think i am ...lol
