nice post as usual, now this is called more mature way to handle kumud's issue...before he was being overprotective about her, forgetting that he is not related to kumud anymore, he is just an ex boyfriend who does not even have the rt to stay in her in law's house, never mind correcting pramad for abusing his wife!

i guess kumud has shown his rt place in her life, now he will handle it his own way keeping kumud's maan marayada intact, just like a good friend!

Yes, Arshi...

Agree with Saras backing off, It is much more serious than playing cat and mouse games.

Kumud clearly has sensed, Saras came back for her, hasn't she? She would be in pain to hear the story but would not forgive him for breaking the rishta. No point in bringing out his story now, let her pour out anger. She was on some talking terms y'day, today even accepted something from him.

I love it when writers come up with something to feed the masters here.

Loved various versions of interpretation of khoon and sindoor.

Not liking the other colors on her though. Ugly colors provided by BD family. Deliberate torture by ?creative designers.

Waiting to watch what other wonderful hues Saras will give her.

Why do I get a feeling, relegating the other characters and side tracks to oblivion, they a trying to wrap up the serial quicker?

arshi today i was really hit hard by reality and it is that saras kumud have no rigths on each other at this point ..O really ???😲

...me very unhappy...kummu can always give kasam to saras...go angry on kalika and pramad for speaking against saras...come in his room ...touch his fits...do kambal covering for him...make food for him...take care of him ...😃

...but our Saras has no rights ...he cannot say anything to kamina pramad...he has no right to touch her ...cannot even set his foot in her room...omg...me shana dead without saras kumud romance oxygen🤢

...when will saras again touch her kamariya...me waiting...hope cvs surprise us soon with a dhamaka :)...his hands can very well reach her kamariya ... if any of ur lipton di chaah happens

@Bold... I agree with that! 😊 Was in the dark about last night's sindoor symbolism in words and gestures till I got enlightened by "the masters"!

@Blue, torture is what they are doing, really...

@red, I hope not...I need my fix every night!...😳

Excellent post Arshi! It really topped of the episode nicely! 👏

Alas we see the benefits of being a (former) sanyaasi. The self reflection Saras is doing is phenomenal... We can see it shine through is persona internally and externally.

Again, I really have to say WOW to the characterization of Saras. To show you the extent of my awe, I would like to tell you that one of my absolute favourite films is "the Godfather" because of the excellent portrayal of the many inner and outer dimensions of Michael Corleone. The self reflection, the rigorous inner change and it's manifestation physically through his actions, his words were so relatable... so apt to reality.

And since I've watched "the Godfather" the first time around, I've never been fully satisfied with any characterization of any protagonist... until Saraswatichandra came around, of course. The fascination of watching Saras is equivalent to Michael Corleone for me. Just the message that comes across with Saras; the strong will, rationality, and tenderness attached to the storm of emotions that is he are so brilliant to watch! His characterization really does go through each and every fibre of Saras' being... and I still don't know how Gautam manages to live Saras so well. 👏

For me, today's episode was just another part of "The Hero's Journey." Saraswatichandra is doing his own deep reflection... going through his "inner cave" as Joseph Campbell describes in his study describing the "Hero with a Million Faces" and he's coming out of it triumphant: a rational, all-knowing man. Today was another episode that highlighted why this show is about the male lead, and I've been left with a very satisfactory taste. Well done CVs for such banging portrayal, well done Gautam Rode for breathing Saras, and well done Arshi for topping off my cake of delight with such a garnishing post! 😳

@Ad_mumbai_girl, happychappy, Kaadal

Somehow I feel the whole Saras Alak convo was just a way to share his thoughts with us, and will not have any other fallout.

Just like the press conference.

superb veera! 👏 do add this analysis/analogy in the birthday thread somewhere. Godfather is GR's fav movie, he will appreacite it well..

it is a surprise how GR manages to breath saras so effortlessly and still have that masti and fun going offline..

Arshi, after having mis-read practically the entire episode on first viewing, I had to watch again..😉

Couple of points I liked this time around...

# When Kumud is talking to Kusum on the phone, she has this band-aid on her forehead, and her phone has band-aid all over it (remember Pramad had a go at it??!!) Love that attention to detail, ...

(and also realise therefore that pink-red horror can never be a mistake, they actually want her to wear it, and us to see it 😕)

# The Alak-Saras convo - most of the lines were about his jazbaatein, but right at the end Alak tells him to use soch-samajh instead... and sure enough he starts trying to help Kumud in a jazbaati fashion by forcing her to reveal "the truth", then realises his mistake and switches to soch-samajh, and compromise.

# As you said somewhere, Saras giving the sindoor to Kumud could have many interpretations, most likely being to say that he will help her to try save her marriage (the selfless Saras!), but ... what caught my attention was the moment when he goes into her room and picks up the sindoor box, he has a moment of pause where he reflects (past, broken dreams and promises?) and has a wry sort of smile? on his face, no self-pity, totally under-played (perfect Gautam Rode style). I think that was the best bit of the day for me!
