Part 1
Pankaj
is donning the veil on Jyoti, who's obviously disgusted by it (and too
insipid to do anything despite it being done by a blind loser) Room
service interrupts them, and Pankaj says he didn't request anything,
but Jyoti says she requested coffee, and that she wanted them to have a
coffee together. Pankaj says he had no idea she'd be this romantic,
and Jyoti tells him that whatever she says, she says from the heart
(like lying to her hubbies?) She goes to the door & opens it, and
the attendant leaves the coffee there.
Pankaj is about to pull
the tray towards himself, but Jyoti quickly intervenes, and Pankaj asks
her whether she remembers how she likes it. She tells him to relax,
and have the coffee. She then makes it, and adds her sedative to it
very carefully, & stirs it. He's about to have it, but as Jyoti's
luck would have it, his servant comes in and says the moment has come,
& the pundit is waiting. Pankaj tells him he's on his way. He
then grabs Jyoti and starts heading out. Jyoti asks him about the
coffee, but Pankaj tells him that their whole life is available for
coffee 😈 He leads Jyoti out, while she looks helplessly @ the woman who's taking care of Roshni, and assures her that they'll be fine.
Jyoti
& Pankaj arrive in his car @ the temple, where he tells her to come
w/ him. Jyoti is now paniced on what to do - Roshni ain't w/ her,
while she's w/ Pankaj in bridal-wear @ the temple. She begs the
goddess not to let her down (You do it pretty well yourself, hon!)
They get to the spot where the mantras are being chanted, and Jyoti
looking like a thorough loser @ Pankaj.
Jyoti then looks up
& sees Kabir looking @ her annoyed, and mentions his name. The
mention of his name changes the color of Pankaj's face. Kabir arrives
there, and Jyoti goes to him & begs him not to misunderstand her,
and that she'll explain everything to him. Pankaj calls Jyoti and
tells him that Kabir has caught them red handed - there's no point
hiding anything. He asks her to tell Kabir that she was there to
abandon him & elope w/ Pankaj (Ever heard of divorce & law, Mr
Vashistya?)
Part 2
Jyoti
protests her innocence to Kabir, & tells him how Pankaj had stolen
her baby in collusion w/ the doctor. She tells him that Roshni was
none other than that daughter of hers. Kabir looks shocked, and Jyoti
continues that Pankaj had threatened that if she didn't marry him, he'd
take her daughter away and she won't be able to see him (so you decided
to go ahead w/ that plan, Mrs Sisodia?) That's why she had to do this
drama to get her girl back. Pankaj continues to play pretend, and
tells Jyoti that Kabir can't do anything to them, and urges her to tell
him that she still loves Pankaj. He then pulls out his cellphone &
plays back to Kabir Jyoti's telling him that she'll marry him and go
far away. Jyoti is shocked to hear that, as it seems another nail in
the coffin of her 2nd marriage.
Pankaj then tells Kabir that
there are misunderstandings b/w couples, and there was b/w him &
Jyoti as well. He tells Kabir that he & Jyoti loved each other @
one time, and the fruit of that love is Roshni (that's why to this day,
I regret that Roshni ain't dead already) He tells her that that's why
Jyoti returned to marry him. He then asks Kabir to release Jyoti from
this marriage, and let him be happy.
Jyoti retorts that she can
never be happy w/ someone who tried to establish her daughter as
illegitimate, and then snatched her from her mother @ birth. She tells
Kabir he knows everything. Pankaj goes and tells her that Kabir is a
very responsible person, so why is he doing all that? He asks her to
fold her hands to Kabir & apologize, and he'll give them permission
to marry
At this point, Kabir has had enough of this bakwas, and knocks Pankaj to the ground, calling him a liar 🤣🥳
Just then, Reshmi arrives @ the scene, and Kabir tells Pankaj that
Reshmi had called him & told him everything, and even if she
hadn't, he'd have believed Jyoti. He then picks Pankaj up again,
knocks him on the face, punches him in the stomach and continues in
that much more tolerable vein. Reshmi & Jyoti try to restrain him
(had I been Kabir, I'd have warned Jyoti to keep her hands off, or be
suspected of treachery) and tells Pankaj that this is the difference
b/w Pankaj & Kabir. He tells Pankaj that when he loves someone,
she becomes part of his soul and never lies to him (uh, Kabir, had
Jyoti been faithful to you, she'd have put you ahead of Roshni) He
tells Pankaj that while he believed others about Jyoti, had even God
come to him w/ aspersions about Jyoti, he wouldn't have believed that.
He then manages to get past Jyoti and Reshmi, and beat the crap out of
Pankaj some more (for me, this all was not enough 😈😆)
Jyoti
& Reshmi manage to pull Kabir away and ask him to let the police
handle him, and tells Kabir that it should be enough that he's
separated from his daughter for good. Kabir disagrees and tells her
that this is nothing. (I agree 😈)
He asks Pankaj how he could separate a mother from her baby, and calls
him unworthy of being called human. She & Reshmi try to take Kabir
away.
Pankaj tells her that people are not evil - circumstances
make them that. He tells her that had he been that evil, she'd never
have loved him (Pankaj, as you noted, she loved Brij as well, which was
one of the reasons you kicked her out) He asks her whether she doesn't
want to know why he did all that (Jyoti, you should have let Kabir beat
him until he was on life support, so that you wouldn't have to listen
to such excrement) He tells her that Roshni has a rare cancer, and has
only 2 years to live (BFD - Jyoti can have more kids w/ Kabir, while
you don't deserve any) He tells her that she can be saved, but Jyoti
& Pankaj have to be united again 🤢
Part 3
Pankaj
continues that a specialist told them that if they have another baby
and donate its bone marrow to Roshni, she can be saved (what about that
baby? Please, CVs, don't make this show more unwatchable than it
already is) That's why he was trying to get her back. He tells her
he's not selfish - he did all that for his daughter. (Well, you are not
worth believing)
Jyoti asks him how many more lies will he tell,
and when nothing else worked, he made her daughter his pawn in his
game? She tells him that by making up a story of an illness of an
young child, he wants to establish his virtue? Pankaj goes down on his
knees & protests that he was telling the truth (so what?) and that
while his methods were wrong, his intentions weren't. He tells her
that he had been lying to her until now, but is now telling the truth
(like the kid who cried wolf)
Reshmi finally intervenes and
tells Jyoti not to listen to him, and if he tries to force the issue,
get the police here. Pankaj tries to beg, but Kabir firmly tells him
that from now on, Roshni is his responsibility 👏 They leave, leaving Pankaj crying 👏😆
Later,
in the car, Jyoti asks Kabir what he's thinking, and he says he's
thinking of what Pankaj said. Jyoti points out that having separated
a baby from its mom, lying was a very easy thing to do. Jyoti then wonders what will happen, since nobody @ home knows about Roshni. Kabir points out that he wanted her since the time Roshni was unborn, and Roshni will now stay w/ them.
Kabir, Jyoti, Reshmi & Roshni arrive home, & are greeted by CS & RP. CS demands to know why Roshni is back there? RP tells them that while CS is more tongue-lashing, he too wants to know why that kid is there? He asks who it's father is? Everyone else joins them (except Raghu - is he gone? And if so, what's Bhavri still doing there?)
Kabir tells him to assume that he is Roshni's father. Everyone looks shocked, & RP asks him to elaborate. Kabir tells him that Roshni is Jyoti's daughter. RP is furious and tells Kabir that he thought that Jyoti is simply divorced. Kabir apologizes for missing out on that factoid. He tells her that Jyoti was pregnant from her previous marriage, but they had thought that that baby was dead.
CS claps derisively, and tells Kabir that he finally did something that's not happened in this family to date. He lied @ the behest of Jyoti. Kabir tells her that he's too familiar w/ the goings-on in this house. He admits that he was wrong, and is aware of it. He tells them that Jyoti only agreed to marry him when he agreed to her demand that he come b4 them and tell them everything. He said that he was unable to do it when he feared that they'd turn this down due to this fact, but assures Bapusa that this was his and his fault alone.
Bapusa asks him that if Jyoti's baby was born dead, how is... Kabir explains that on Roshni's birth, her father Pankaj Vashist secretly kidnapped her and took her away. He then narrates to everyone the full story, and all are shocked.
Kabir then concludes by saying that Roshni is Jyoti's daughter, and everything that is Jyoti's is his, and he's accepted this kid as his own, and requests them all to accept her as theirs. Everybody looks @ him.
Comments
I
was beginning to dread writing this update, given how insipid the
episodes have been lately, but thankfully, this one turned out to be
(unbelievably) okay.
The first part of it was horrible, and
illustrated what was wrong w/ Jyoti's idea of keeping Kabir out of
it: since Pankaj didn't have the coffee, what would Jyoti have done
had Kabir not arrived - married Pankaj as well? In which case, she'd
have deservedly have landed in jail for bigamy.
While Kabir's
dialogs about love were surreal in that few hubbies would be
unjustified in disbelieving their wives in these circumstances, it was
hugely satisfying to watch the crap being beaten out of Pankaj. It was
unseemly of Jyoti to try & stop Kabir. At the end, the story that
Pankaj made up was surreal - even if Roshni did have all the illnesses
Pankaj mentioned, that doesn't justify Jyoti's leaving Kabir. What if
Roshni had stayed w/ Jyoti, Pankaj had never discovered Jyoti's
innocence: had Jyoti gone to Pankaj w/ such a request for the same
reason, would Pankaj have impregnated her for that reason alone? And
the idea of creating babies as organ donors is unheard of in medical
research - embryonic stem cells alone are controversial.
Hopefully,
this is the last we have seen of Pankaj in this serial. In fact, the
entire return of Pankaj & Roshni was uncalled for.
Episode rating:
👍🏼: The bashing Pankaj got
👎🏼: The start of the show, w/ Jyoti almost marrying Pankaj 🤢
