Election time here in our land, the women vying to be the next first lady just seem to outshine the men as is the case all over the world and in our motherland too...Ironically that doesn't seem to be the opinion of creative minds in IPK land...There was also a competition in IPK land...Titles up for grabs - dumb, dumber, dumbest...It's the Ms. Dumbest pageant! 3 women vying for the most coveted title, the Dumbest...
Unlike the pageant shows, we respect our women here in IPK land...They are never shown flaunting their bodies in a 2-piece or do the catwalk....They don't kiss in public, they shy away from sex with their spouses but they do a fabulous cupping the face....They earn the title for just being who they are, the dumbest! Who do you think should take the honors? Like they say when you compete in the Olympics....There is no win or lose....They are all winners! The title should really go to their creators; you know who you are....
Yes, I took this personally and every woman should even those who watch this show for just ASR... I don't know which of this lines irritated me more "hum humesha aapki baat maante hai " or "Humhe humare Shyamji wapas kar dho Chote". If manipulating Anji was so easy for Shyam, did we have to show the gory scene that led to the miscarriage? Anjali cannot be redeemed...Just declare her clinically insane and we will all go on about our lives...pretty please...
I can't believe I am saying this but barring the depiction of women in the
show, the episode was good. It would have been an excellent
episode if it hadn't been the for the one thing I dreaded, stupefying of Ms.
KKG yet again.....ASR is the only saving grace for the dumb Raizada's. Yes, this was
his time to shine and he did....Stand up to the forces who question his judgment
and his commitment to protect his sis who has been his life....He always rises to
a challenge and tonight was no exception. The episode would have been rocking
but for the second half....
A sister wakes up to the noise of a crib being dismantled....ASR, always
her soother, gently calms her nerves....The anguish of a mother who had lost her
child was expressed well this time....A teary Khushi watching them, if only she
could ease their pain....She consoles him, things will be alright...He will always do the right thing for his sis...
Only to be interrupted by a rude dadi....who accuses him of being unreasonable, a poor judge of character and downright makes the wrong decisions. His decisions could cost him his sis, just like he had lost his mom 14 years ago. A below the belt remark from someone who lost her family to a tragedy....The grandson is an orphan, any dadi would have some mercy but the lady had none.....
I am beginning to believe Creepali wedding happened coz dadi made a deal with the devil....There seems to be a longer connection between the 2, not just 1 or 2 meetings......The devil had his own agenda, to take revenge. Dadi indicates, Khushi is the musibat and he has been misled.....Dadi's next plan of action, try to stall the wedding! Arnav will take matters into his hands or so it seems.....
He pleaded to his dadi - ek baar maine bhi galti ki thi Shyaam ko pehchaan ne mein...But that went on deaf ears....Loved the way ASR confronted dadi, gone was the respect...BS excelled in this scene....He challenged her, where was she all these years....why did she comeback? How can she know Shyam in one meeting? Nani clearly was with him and so was mami, Khushi and NK. Akash doesn't count, he can join the pageant with the women....
Khushi and nani tried to intervene but he had enough....If he can take care of his sister at age 14, he doesn't need lessons now....I am surprised dadi wanted proof...Would you trust your grandson over Shyam? They are on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to papa Malik...This also means she doesn't trust her best friend, nani....A clear divide is now evident....
One thing I didn't like, he announced his next move....How predictable....This alerted
the enemy and he was there before the restraining order took effect...he was
forewarned probably by dadi or his cameras, the very camera he removed.....But the
audience is dumb or is expected to forget such minutiae....What I want is ASR not
to succumb to Anji, at least not this early....Take the fight to the enemy camp...Show us you can write a serious, logical plot...My SKD...
I am upset that they made Khushi go there....Asking ASR to
reconsider....A sin in my books....The man entered her house got engaged under
false pretenses, cheated his wife, threatened to destroy her on multiple
occasions, touched her inappropriately, blackmailed her on the will, kidnapped
her husband, she almost lost him, she almost her life on multiple occasions...
Tonight she seemed to have had a short term memory loss...I saw this coming, so I wasn't surprised. Creative minds...They can only safeguard 1 character at a time....Huge disappointment....I think they may just as well make her the vahu from the other show....A woman's role is essentially to be at her husband's service.... The mahaan SP bahu...Nayi soch and all...
The flip side is her forgiving nature and her genuine love for others, true to character, very naive...Her wounds are self-inflicted and she really felt Anjali's helplessness, her grief...Like he always said to her, her decisions are purely emotional, dil se....She will do anything for the family she loves, be it the G's or the R's. She sacrificed herself for Payal...Tonight she was sacrificing her safety and her husband's to keep Anjali happy....
I loved their
conversation, she was the doting wife, taking care of him....she is walking
around RM like she belongs there....that came with the haq he gave her, his
acceptance of her as his wife....Small mercies - When he said he doesn't believe the devil she readily agrees...she trusts him
to make the right decision, she has accepted him as her protector, her caretaker...She
was the gentle caring wife and he the fierce, protective husband and brother who
was guarding his territory but yet gentle to her....I think they both did a
fabulous job here....
Tonight ASR won my respect but tomorrow is another day....Will he succumb to his sisters
wish? Or will he be adamant in his stand? If he does the latter, more drool
power to him..... Will they finally get babuji off that damn wheelchair....maybe he
will take one for Garima...until then we have to see the predator walking freely around RM...
In closing, can we show some respect to women? Show them as regular women not what the chauvinists think....Kuch zyaada maang liya kya? If not, mein kehti hun laage raho....More power to me with the falling TRP's....It will be my pleasure to say, I told you so...
