Was busy with real life, so sorry for the late review. ๐ณ Hope you all don't mind. I thought yesterday's episode was an awful episode and I rolled my eyes throughout, while watching it. These CVs are turning SSEL into Saas, Bahu aur Saazish. ๐
Suhani tries to leave BH but Pratima stops her: Now, I really wish Dadi uses her superpowers as the Birla matriarch to isolate Suhani from ShaTima, because they seem to continue to give her the worst advice. Suhani has packed her bags and is going to walk out, when dear Pratima walks in and asks her where she is going.๐ฒ Suhani says that she's going home and Pratima tells her this is her home. ๐ฅฑ Suhani says she did believe that too, but she was wrong. Pratima asks her to stay back. Now, Suhani says something here which I thought was Suhani's best dialogue of the episode; she asks Pratima if she would give her the same advice, if Suhani were her own daughter. ๐ฒ๐ฒ You go girl, that's what I call a probing question. ๐๐ Pratima's train stutters to a halt and I thought her silence spoke volumes about what her answer would be. CVs, it's really alright to say Pratima cares more about Yuvraj--it's natural. I don't expect her to love Suhani as much as Yuvraj.
Meanwhile, Yuvraj is stewing on the terrace thinking about all the drama that transpired, and Sharad comes by. Yuvraj makes an irritated face that indicated he was about to ask for mental peace, and he asks Sharad to leave him alone, telling him he is no mood to answer his questions. ๐ฒ When are you ever in the mood, dude? Sharad, surprisingly, hugs him and says that he knows Yuvraj must have said whatever he did with a plan in mind, because he wouldn't reveal the truth to Suhani NOW, of all times, without some thought. Yuvraj tells him that he is doing all this to protect Suhani, and he will end Soumya's chapter for good now. ๐ฒ๐ฒ CVs, if you're having Yuvraj come up with some secret master plan while Suhani is tormented by Dadi, it better be INCREDIBLE. Right now, I don't care about it, because his inaction and complete lack of reaction to Suhani's plight is pissing me off. ๐ก๐ก I hope his 'secret plan' isn't 'too little, too late' and does end up redeeming him.
Pratima gives Suhani a lecture on how fingers have been pointed at Suhani's integrity, and Suhani shouldn't leave without proving the Phateechars wrong. ๐๐ YAAAWN!!! Really? It's still about SUHANI'S integrity? ๐ฒ What about all the Birlas, especially Dadi and her goons, who have humiliated Suhani from Day 1? Why is the burden of proof STILL on Suhani? Please explain this one to me, people, 'cause it's just going over my head. Pratima says that if she goes today,a mother (Prats) will be left with her head bowed. ๐๐ She asks Suhani to bring Dadi's truth out and then leave. WOW! What a clever plan, Pratima. Please leave the scheming to Dadi, it doesn't suit you in the least.
The Phateechars rejoice at Suhani's half-exit: I must say that I approve of SaNuj's reactions to Suhani's humiliation totally. ๐๐๐ผ SaNuj approach ShaRaj on the terrace, and start berating Yuvraj left, right and centre. Saurabh asks Yuvraj if he is crazy and tells him whatever he said to Suhani downstairs was disgusting. Anuj also joins in and says that what Yuvraj did was not right. Saurabh says that Suhani is the only one trying to hold this family together and today, she got bit for doing it. They tell Yuvraj that there is no one better than Suhani for this house and for him. ๐๐ They ask how Yuvraj can leave Suhani only because Dadi dislikes her and Yuvraj says he understands. ๐ฒ Ragini and Dadi rejoice as they see Suhani moving into Pratima's room, and I was like, "No, not her room, where Maa can influence her further'. ๐ฅฑ What a bore. Where is Warrior Suhani? Why are you giving us Wimp Suhani instead? Yuvraj goes to their room and is shocked to see YuvAni's wedding picture missing. He casts his eyes over the room and sees Suhani's computer missing as well. He opens her wardrobe, only to see an empty space full of hangers. Again, I felt his reaction was totally lacking and didn't convey the shock one would expect when he saw Suhani and her belongings missing. ๐ฅฑ What is up with the under reactions you are giving your leads, CVs? Please tell me, because it's making the show difficult to watch. ๐คข He looked calm and not at all frenzied, like I would expect him to be. If this is connected to his James Bond-style plan, then you better have something BIG up your sleeves, Yuvraj. ๐ก
He goes out to see Suhani walking towards him and he asks her where she went without telling him. Suhani just looks at him with a blank expression and walks away. ๐ญ Sharad stops Yuvraj from going after her and Pratima arrives. She asks Yuvraj why he's bothering Suhani after doing what he did and scolds him. Pratima tells him that she can't support this behavior of his. Sharad, says that 'Guru' needs Pratima's support right now and Yuvraj says he wants Pratima to stand by him. I think the SSEL Cvs have single-handedly made me hate the word 'Guru'. ๐
Suhani goes to Soumya, who is agitatedly staring at Dadi's cake and asks her why she is not happy. Again, I can't comprehend Suhani's totally thanda reaction to his earth-shattering revelation. I expected her to break down, question Yuvraj, but she seems calm and collected after Yuvraj's revelation. ๐ Suhani says that Soumya should be happy after all this and Soumya looks conflicted. So, thanks for working so hard on Somu while not working at all on Yuvraj, CVs. Somu says that Suhani would anyway never have been happy in a loveless marriage. Suhani stops in her tracks and says that at least KrishYa's relationship was a complete one, so why is Somu after Yuvraj?
Suhani confronts Dadi and challenges her: Dadi is talking to one of her friends and is badmouthing Suhani. Suhani walks in just as Dadi finishes and Dadi looks happy to see her. ๐ก Dadi tells Suhani she wants to give her a gift for her birthday party and gives her a wrapped gift. Just as Suhani is about to take it, Dadi drops it and the gift opens to reveal a bunch of scattered puzzle pieces. ๐ฒ Dadi says that just like these pieces, Suhani's life has shattered and is now without direction. Dadi says that this is the gift Suhani gets for messing with her and trying to stand up to her. Dadi says that she has destroyed her life. Really, Dadi, how much free time do you have on your hands that you sit and make such disgusting gifts for people? ๐คข How vella are you? Suhani bends down, picks up all the pieces as Dadi watches triumphantly. I think it was symbolic and meant that Suhani will pick herself up, despite Dadi's best efforts. After this, Suhani gives a full speech to Dadi. Suhani tells her that she can take care of herself and Dadi should watch out for the time when Yuvraj will get to know about Dadi's true 'colours'. ๐ฒ๐ Thank you for saying that, Suhani. Then came a dialogue which I thought was Suhani's worst dialogue of the episode, she says that her marriage and mangalsutra are her life's pride. ๐ฅฑ๐ฅฑ WOW! Cvs, are you competing in the 'Most Regressive Dialogues Kiske' category at SPA this year? So, Suhani's marriage means more to her than her own self-respect. Thanks CVs, seems like you've begun the process of turning Suhani into mahaan Gopi Bahu too. ๐ก๐ก She says that she will prove to Yuvraj that Dadi is lying and she is honest.
You know CVs, there's this saying called, "Once you hit rock bottom, you can only go up", and really, I applaud you for proving it wrong all the time. ๐คฃ Every time I think, "Okay, this can't get any worse!", you take it upon yourselves to prove me wrong. ๐ The truth, which was supposed to be about YuvAni and their marriage has been turned into a battle between Suhani and Dadi. WOW! ๐๐ Standing ovation to you. Why don't you just write Yuvraj out and rename it Suhani Si Ek SuDa? ๐ฅฑ
She goes to her room and is taking out the rest of her clothes, when Bhavna Di calls and conveniently reminds of her a poem she had recited in class 10, which was about not giving up against your enemy and fighting them bravely. Suhani recites the lines over and over again, as if she could defeat Dadi by doing just that. For the first time, I rolled my eyes when she was having a serious moment. ๐ฅฑ If this was supposed to move me, it didn't. ๐คข It just made me gag, because I do not think it is empowering in the least for Suhani to be stuck fighting against Dadi in BH. ๐ก Yuvraj walks in right then, back from his morning jog, which we know can't be given up even in the event of a Tsunami. Curiously, as Suhani walks away, he completes the poem for her, symbolically urging her to fight on. For the life of me, I couldn't understand why Dumbelina didn't once ask her WimpRaj why he said he doesn't love her. That seems like the most logical step to me, but maybe it's just my bird brain. ๐๐
