Betrayal is Universal for people with no Principles.
Trust takes years to build, seconds to fall apart and forever to repair.
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do or how much you have. It is who you have beside you. I am so glad you are there.
Three things cannot be hidden - the sun, the moon and the truth. Confucius.
The most damaging aspect of abuse is the trauma to our hearts and souls from being betrayed by the people we love and trust.
Betrayal is the only truth that sticks. - Arthur Miller
It was a nail biting, edge of the seat thriller the last two days. The CV's were saving up to dish out the best for completing 400 epi and counting. A great feat amidst all the bashing and no promotion of the show by the channel.
It was time for NA to know the truth, about what Varad had done, at the office and at home. After a couple of epi where we saw baba holding bachha's picture and caressing it, he was out in full gear and ready to do battle. His wits sharp as ever, his brains on full alert. He barged into the office, full steam ahead and stopped only when he saw a stranger's name outside Shlok's cabin. He goes to his cabin and sees that Varad has occupied the THRONE and has his name outside. NA walks up to Varad and slaps him before tearing into him, reminding him that he has no business to be sitting in his chair, it is his office, he has no stature to sit in his chair and who on earth was that Indrajeet whose name had replaced Shlok. Varad was shocked to see his baba but he is a cool customer, took his time to set right his glasses and flick his hair back before speaking to baba VERY VERY SOFTLY THAT IT WAS HIS OFFICE AND HE DOESN'T LIKE IT IF ANYONE SPOKE TO HIM IN A LOUD VOICE. WOW...the softly delivered lines were more effective than if he had yelled...suave and sophisticated to his fingertips...reminds baba gently that he has become old, senile, he should go home and rest and leave the business to him, to run it...after all it is the law...of the world...where a son takes over the dad's business empire and becomes boss one day. 👏
NA quickly pieces it together, that he was always J of Shlok and has usurped the empire for power and money which he would have given him...eventually...He also figures out that he was keeping Shlok away from him...omg I am in awe 'of Manish Ji here. He just expressed his feelings so well, shedding tears but refusing to let it roll down his cheeks, the dawning realisation that his son had stabbed him in the back...every minute emotion was flashing across his face and hats off to you...Samir was also good...as the quiet, mousy char...still was the same but let his actions speak for him, more than his words or histrionics. 👏👏
They were good, both toe to toe...matching word for word...with all the staff gawking at them. NA walks away not in defeat but promising revenge, promising to extract his pound of flesh for Varad's act...has not lost his ego and pride in himself. He may be broken but not defeated. HE goes home and sees SOYA shivering and cowering...wondering at his next steps. Does not take long for them to see a lawyer talking to NA...where he wants to draw up a new will and leave his wealth to Shlok and Jyothi or else to the Ashram...whoa...the ashram...the seniors would be thrilled...but before he can get on with it..Varad shows up and has the file...with the new will drawn up, signed and delivered. ⭐️⭐️
Another jolt for NA..who masks his shock very well...he has been outsmarted and beaten at his own game...VArad says what does it matter if it was in his name? He lets loose his pent up emotions, that he was always sidelines, overlooked, none cared for him the way they did for Shlok...so it was only fitting that he TAKE WHAT WAS HIS BY RIGHT AS HE WAS FIRST BORN SON, THE ELDER HAS THE RIGHT TO INHERIT HIS FATHER' S PROPERTY.When NA says that he is shocked that his own blood DID this, it can't be...then Varad asks if he was brought home from the streets..coz he feels that way..always second class citizen...never given any importance or prominence even when he looked after baba, after his Shlok discarded everything and left, he was there to support him...and what did he get in return...more of Shlok bhajans.
The gloves are off, the fight just got down and dirty...tells baba to be happy that he has a roof over his head and food to eat...else he would be forced to take the next step...NA not backing down even with his back to the wall...has decided to go down fighting till the end...VArad tells him we will talk in your room...SOYA'S EYES AS BIG AS SAUCERS AS THEY WATCH THE UNFOLDING SPECTACLE...They go up to NA's room and then as soon as baba steps in, he gets a hard shove in the back...THE FIRST STUMBLE...FOR NA WHO IS SHAKEN..TO HIS CORE...DISBELIEF WARRING WITH APPREHENSION...Varad chuckles merely and shuts the door and BOLTS IT SECURELY...LOCKING BABA LIKE AN INSANE PERSON IN AN ASYLUM. 😲😲😲
NA screams till he is hoarse but to no avail...and VArad tells Sojal strictly that the door is not to be opened in his absence and says to baba that water will be sent once he has calmed down. NA reels in shock, batters and pounds on the door helplessly...and then SINKS TO THE FLOOR...REALIZING WHAT HAS JUST HAPPENED TO HIM...ANJALI'S WORDS ECHOING IN HIS HEAD...THAT IF HE DOES NOT CHANGE...HE WILL BE ALONE, TOTALLY ALONE...THAT WAS THE FIRST THING THAT CAME TO HIS MIND. HOW FITTING IS THAT?
Sojal tries to reason with Varad but he snaps and she gets a glimpse of his darkness and turns silent...ebp...has some sense left...but let us see..what happens next.
Shlok feeling the blues ever since ayi mentioned baba's b;day which he has never missed in all his life, till now...the unpleasant thoughts, the betrayal, his devotion to his baba all come crowding back, making him wistful and pensive. He was shown standing before the window bars and there were bars behind him also...caged in his mind, unable to get baba out of his mind's cage where despite his attempts to throw baba out, he keeps sneaking back in...making the wounds fresh and bleed...allows himself to be cheered up by Aastha who senses his raw emotions. Only to see Sachin burning an old paper that had the pic of his baba...he can' stop himself...rushes to put it out and then tears it up later...as he does not want to maintain any relation with him, HIS AYI IS BOTH BABA AND AYI TO HIM NOW. BABA IS AS GOOD AS DEAD TO HIM...THE WORDS HE SAID TO HIS AYI NOT LONG AGO...HURTING ANJALI WITH HIS HATEFUL WORDS THAT PIERCED HER HEART LIKE BURNING ARROWS.
Shlok confessing to Aastha that his baba's memories are haunting him and he does not ever want to hear his name mentioned again..as the wounds are still raw ...HE GRASPS HER HAND IN HIS...HE NEEDS HER...EMOTIONALLY...TO HOLD AND COMFORT HIM...SNAP HIM OUT OF IT...ANJALI A SILENT WITNESS TO THIS. The 3 of them expressed so much w/o exchanging a word, by looks, their eyes speaking volumes...truly today Shlok looked tormented...Avinash you were brilliant. 👏👏
Shlok not only empathised with an old man who came to eat but also gave him money when he came to know that the was shown the door after his son usurped his property. He became meditative when the senior blessed him saying that his baba should be proud to have a son like him, to which Shlok says think of me as your son...Life has taught many harsh lessons to the brash, arrogant, rich SHLOK AGNIHOTRI. AS SHLOK...HE IS MORE HUMBLE, DOWN TO EARTH, CAN UNDERSTAND THE PAIN OF OTHERS, A BETTER PERSON AND A GOOD SAMARITAN. WHAT A GROWTH IN SHLOK'S CHARACTER...👏⭐️⭐️
He is the first one to be up and at the temple praying for his baba's well being when a feeling of uneasiness swamps over him...questions himself as to why he is feeling that something is amiss...he has proved that ebp he is the good son...as he keenly feels baba's anguish and pain though he is far away from him...refusing to speak to him despite Aastha making every effort to make him give a call to NA on his b'day.
NA will be thrown out of the house, dragged kicking and screaming from his own house by his own son...KARMA IS BACK.
HAPPY 2015 TO ALL HERE. MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING YOU HEALTH WEALTH AND HAPPINESS. LONG LIVE EBP.
