Typically the action episodes of TEI are mere reflections so while watching the episode, I had to look closely at how the battle was taking place and i was not disappointed by the route Twinkle's character had taken. Her innocence coupled with her pettiness is the perfect combination of her ferocious attitude leading her towards success.
The episode started off with Twinkle pointing the ring at the chandelier. A chandelier is source of light but it is not ordinary in appearance being a symbol of success and wealth. The engagement ring is a circle that binds the person to the other one eternally and infinitely. Twinkle's love is that source of power and light for both the men that it can bring both of them eternal happiness. Leela being the one to get the ring and make sure it is placed upon the chandelier is reflective of how Leela has made sure that her daughter is always provided the best and the life-partner she gets, is worthy of her.
Yuvraj is probed by his friends to go ahead and prove himself to Twinkle. I found it fascinating that the one to push Yuvi towards Twinkle were his friends that were invited in the ceremony then his mother. If I recall correctly, Yuvi's break up part in the first few episodes of the show also had his friends trying to show him that his break up is not a good decision. The reaction showed that the world sees Twinkle as someone who could a great teammate, a great partner and a great individual and that Yuvraj's is the one at fault. Upon probing, Yuvraj climbs up the pyramid but just when he is very close and inching towards the ring, he falls down. > There are two ways the whole thing plays out. Bebe pours the grease and grease symbolizes an alinement provided by smoothing things. Yuvraj cannot reach to Twinkle because despite his burning obsession, it is not enough to fix the cracks in foundation of his and Twinkle's relationship. Yuvraj can force his way all he wants into Twinkle's life but he can never get Twinkle to reciprocate his love. One can blame bebe for spoiling Yuvraj's plans however the pyramid of same people forms all over again and Kunj is successful in climbing without falling over.
Defying the laws of physics, Kunj enters upon his name being compared to Yuvi and hangs himself onto the chandelier before getting to the ring, signifying Kunj's journey towards Twinkle which began with him realizing her pure heart, her innocence, her self-sacrificing for her family which had begun to include him and her recognition of her feelings of admiration and appreciation for him as her love for him. Kunj was attracted to Twinkle's wildness and spark since the very beginning but he fell for her after their marriage and he held onto her by pulling Twinkle closer to him as his responsibility and covering his reactions towards her problems and her sadness as something that he requires to be a part of because of her being his responsibility. Kunj pulls himself up after hanging onto the chandelier; but he only proceeds after he sees Twinkle blowing him a kiss, to get to the ring reflecting on him being aware of his feelings quite a while before but he never took a step ahead in their relationship besides holding her hand until she herself indicated that she approves of him being her partner thought her life.
>> In my opinion, the day Kunj realized the shift in his and Twinkle's relationship was when Twinkle was kidnapped by Yuvi and taken to Mumbai and she asked him to leave fearing for his safety over her own. He later tells Twinkle that he knows everything about her, even the things she doesn't realize about herself. He took the first step towards Twinkle when she left him for Maya and brought him back. He later overhears her conversation with Chinky questioning her feelings and only after that, his feelings and promises become vocal towards her.
>> Yuvraj on the other hand never took Twinkle's response to his feelings as something to consider which Kunj did in every step of the relationship. It is reflective on how both the men fell. Yuvi rolled down while Kunj landed on his feet. The test of proving themselves worthy of Twinkle was won by Kunj and only Twinkle's belief in Kunj allowed him to leave the chandelier and solely depend on their love signified through the ring instead of leaning against their the bond of marriage which only succeeds if there is love present.
Anita throughout the first half appears quite until she sees Yuvraj being very very close to the ring signifying how Anita never really believed in Yuvraj being successful in marrying Twinkle and having Twinkle accept him. She also struck by Kunj's entrance and him being successful in getting the ring and falling down without a scratch signifying that she has also been underestimating Kunj's love for Twinkle and his dedication towards Twinkle. She has repeatedly brought Yuvraj and Twinkle's past relationship in front of Kunj and had gone to the extent of framing Twinkle for every trouble Yuvraj has faced and every pain Yuvraj has endured, however her misunderstanding and unclear perspective on twinkle-kung's relationship would be shattered soon and Anita wouldn't like how wrong she had been and like she usually does, Anit will fight wrong with wrong all over again and attack Sarnas just when things will seem the most brightest for them.
Bebe is most vocal throughout the ring ceremony and the one after her to speak up is Cherry. I really liked how the camera panned on Anand's face right after it showed Cherry. Cherry and Anand are head of households in their respective families and Cherry's approval of Kunj's actions matters because the finances play a big role and Surjeet is the powerhouse in terms of providing for the family. Bebe has become an active solider however she is only active as long as the battle is in the Sarna house, in Sarna territory. Collectively, the fight is between Tanejas and Luthras and Sarnas still serve as judgmental spectators who will decide on the winner and Bebe being the head is the one to serve justice. < Usha and Leela have bunched together because Leela's role has reversed and her purpose is to attack back if her daughters are harmed. She is no longer present to protect but to attack while Usha has walked in and will be the one to defend Kunj and Twinkle instead of attacking back.
The positing of characters when Kunj puts the ring on Twinkle is with Cherry and Anand standing side by side and the ladies along with Raman, standing right behind them, all stunned right besides Kunj and in between both stood Yuvraj however his being in the middle wouldn't be mattering because this time Kunj and Twinkle are together by their own will, not because of family and because guru ji said so. The kiss at hand signified the support and strength Kunj is ready to provide back to Twinkle after she had spent previous few days completely devoted to his health and his security of life.
Twinkle's revelation just mere hours after she had told him what he had wanted to hear was the invitation of War resuming. Yuvraj wants a Twinkle that challenges him, but he also wants a blinded Twinkle that submits to him. He had committed an atrocious sin and crossed moral boundaries to betray Twinkle and make her his wife in front of the world, however despite all of that, Twinkle not being his and claiming only Kunj to be her life-partner and better half is a huge blow to the winner inside Yuvraj who likes to get things his way. Yuvraj has bended situation to an extreme extent that there is not going back and no going-forward now and despite all the planning and calculating, he won't be getting Twinkle by force or by her will.
Twinkle asks Kunj to be sure and safety reach home and take his time as she walks to drink a glass of water. The scene signified how Twinkle is yearning to cleanse herself off the tainted spot on her marriage with Yuvraj however she is overlooking her necessity of safety and security provided to he by Kunj to avenge the hurt and harm Yuvi is causing which Kunj is supporting her though despite his disapproval. Yuvraj strikes at Twinkle in darkness, tapping her shoulder from behind signifying his dependance on his mother or Twinkle in order to walk freely in light. He is unable to control Twinkle for long which reflects on how he is breaking down. > Twinkle picks up the knife from besides the apple signifying that Yuvraj's war on Twinkle and with Twinkle will cost him the last shell that is keeping his sanity together.
Twinkle slashes her own palm and hands the knife to Yuvraj. Hands are symbol strength and the the lines of life are the ones that run through the middle of the palm which Twinkle herself gashed open. While Twinkle threatens to frame Yuvraj under a case of domestic violence, her threats have become more dangerous because she might go to an extent of sacrificing herself all over again just to break Yuvraj's ego and pride over the 'junoon' that drives him towards her and tells him that he HAS to attain Twinkle by any means and the only not to stop Twinkle would be Kunj, whose presence forced Twinkle to only threaten Yuvraj instead of implementing anything further on. > Leela being the one to record signified how she and Twinkle are the ones to lead the fight against Yuvi and Anita and that they are decision makers from the side of right vs. wrong.
The reason why Yuvraj and Anita took the threat of domestic violence seriously is because they had given Twinkle immense amount of leverage by forcing her marriage and betraying her in front of the public and guests. Similarly they had threatened Twinkle's position and tried to humiliate her further by pushing her husband aside and forcing Yuvraj's obsession upon her. If I remember correctly, when Mahi arrived and Leela's friends saw him with Mahi, they were quick to question Yuvraj's motive because just few days ago Yuvraj had kidnapped Twinkle. Yuvraj's reputation has been tarnished exceptionally brutally and it wouldn't take a minute for witnesses to come forward to explain the forced marriage and a marriage done through pretense to judges and lawyers. Also the fact that Yuvraj is still answerable to Mahi as she never extracted payment of her own betrayal, is going to be very costly for Yuvraj.
Kunj's reactions to Twinkle are worth noting. He has decided to stand up with Twinkle and lend his support to Twinkle however he is not approving of Twinkle's methods and twinkle's ways because he realizes that Twinkle's heart is too clean and too pure to ever stoop to the level of Yuvraj and Anita themselves to get her justice. His reaction after her revelation to Yuvraj after the ring ceremony displays his stance of supporting her just as when the family entered over Twinkle when Yuvraj tried to harm her, he was the most panic stricken and painfully quite while the ladies had a more responsive reaction. Kunj cannot tolerate pain over Twinkle and seeing her push herself through the riskiest situations isn't easy for him.
His appreciation in the bedroom conveys his "awe" for her and her ability to be strong in face of risk and hurt. Twinkle has been thrown down by Yuvraj multiple times just in front of Kunj however she has stood up every time. From after there honeymoon, to Mahi's murder attempt and while he disagrees, just as the mother's do, he will be by her side to be her shield and to hold on to the person he loves. Kunj is selfish for Twinkle and his selfish will eventually reflect when he wouldn't allow her to cross the line of self-destruction to destroy Yuvraj completely.
While the mothers stood together and expressed their doubts, Kunj stood by Twinkle signifying his support standing by her despite the objections and his expressing of the familial support keeping everyone strong in the face of all the wrong that has been happening. Bebe however stood apart and praised Twinkle signifying her position of being a judge when the collective families are involved.
Tickling is done to relieve the other person of stress and anxiety while also calling out for attention towards themselves. Kunj's tickling of Twinkle on her neck demanded her attention towards him and to realize that he s the reason she has decided to put herself on the line.
The only driving force in Yuvraj's life is his obsession for Twinkle and the one on Twinkle's life is the love and support of her family. The episode emphasized on breaking the driving force in each other's lives from both the sides and Twinkle would be successful in her endeavor but vengeful people with bruised and wounded pride and ego are more dangerous as they no longer have anything more to loose. Twinkle and Leela has already lost a lot but they have risen from the ashes of the hurt and pain inflicted upon them. The Luthras entered this fight with self-destruction and have lost everything of theirs to themselves but them losing against the Tanejas this time would be on a very heavy cost because the Tanejas have attacked back indebted of defending themselves. This track has marked the stakes to get higher against Twinkle and Kunj in what could be reciprocated back by the Luthras.
This track would push Yuvi at a stand alone for time being, leaving Anita to be the only one with energy left because her target has switched to Twinkle and losing her son and family would have Anita strike at the happiness of Kunj-Twinkle at an unexpected time. For time being, I am excited to see how this track itself would unfold in destruction of Yuvraj and how Mahi will be making her return as she is still an important player.
Please leave your thoughts behind;

The best scene of the episode was when Twinkle handed Yuvraj the knife and upon her blame, he looked at Kunj and told him she's lying and he didn't do anything. Yuvraj assured dear Kunj that he didn't harm Twinkle!! I DIED.
