What an episode! I am having a hard time keeping up with everyone's view. 😛
Before I say anything I have to clear this: what in the world was Mansi doing dancing with the Barat? 😕 Isn't she supposed to be on the bride's side? Isn't she supposed to be helping Aarti get dressed? She must have known she would have more fun on the other side. 😆
KS as Aarti was awesome today. 👏Loved her acting.
One of my favorite scenes today was when Gayatri says aloud "what has happened to Arpita Bahu" and immediately Yash stands up and negates Gayatri's insensitivity and addresses his bride as Aarti ji. Gayatri announced Aarti's name change during the haldi thereby stripping her of her identity in front of the society. Yash today addresses Aarti by her real name and thus gave her identity back to her and that too with the society as witness. To me that act symbolized that Yash is the one who will probably restore in Aarti everything she lost: her self confidence in herself, her self esteem and her faith in love.
As for the lie, it ain't coming out now. Aarti is portrayed as a character with principles but she is not portrayed to be perfect. She is portrayed as someone whose fortitude or emotional strength oscillates with varying degrees of weakness and strength, depending on the situation.
The less I say about Papa Dubey the better. It was almost like he wants to wash his hands off the "Aarti" episode in his life and move on. I wonder how many times he must have blamed Aarti when Prashant left and Shobha must have held him back from voicing his opinion out loud. 😡
