Time elapses and Sidhanth is very obviously looking unwell π "Kya hoga humein?" And Sidhanth 'collapses' only to get back up again. Sidhanth continues to play the waiting game until Srikanth says he would like to leave on account of the press conference waiting for him π. Mujhe nahin pata tha ke koi accused bandha aise hi keh sakta hai that bye I gotta go π
But Sidhanth wins, looking very obviously unwell. "I don't believe in cheap publicity" wow this boy. Again his moral/ethical ground is still in full force. Anushka looks worried and tries to go after Sidhanth but to no avail. She has her family to worry about. Sidhanth's so happy he calls his mom to tell her he won. Anushka lets Prabhakar know of Sidhanth's win, but Sidhanth is on the floor from obvious distress. This boy, what is it about him that refuses to suffer anywhere but in silence and away from the maddening crowd. The Reddy's + Prabhakar aren't too worried having apparently bought Sidhanth's little charade (minus Anu it seems).
Oh my god so it WAS drugs. Not sugar. He overdosed on this drug, this absolute FOOL. I'm going to kill him. He coughs up blood in the ambulance, his body goes into shock. I can't believe this man. Sood is already sniffing Sidhanth's tail and thinks he can sniff him and his bluff out. The ambulance pulls up at the hospital and Sweety Ji knows they can be snuffed out, and opts to find another way.
KK proudly announces to the media (who apparently have stayed all day for the court proceedings to happen ??? π bhai bhook nahi lagti kya?) that Srikanth has been proven innocent and will take over the trust.
KK tells Srikanth that his only identity is as KK's eldest son and now the head of the trust. KK apparently has no qualms about keeping his children under his wings. He blatantly tells Srikanth that he was saved by Sidhanth today. So KK is aware his sons are useless it seems? But unlike Prabhakar, he will ensure their futures for the sake of his own. KK has claimed he will be the biggest businessman in India, and that will not come to him at the cost of his own sons being wild. Srikanth tries falsely to defend himself but KK knows his son better. KK even drags Srikanth's wife as being his keeper. In fact she should be the one responsible for damage control it seems. Which I vehemently disagree with but you know whatever. So KK isn't as oblivious as we think. In fact he's shrewd and capable of overlooking the many faults of his children, so long as they don't cost him his own wealthy future.
Here the dissonance between Prabhakar and KK is so clear. And I'm grateful they gave us a glimpse into KK's role as a father. Where Prabhakar pushes Sidhanth to have a clear, moral ground that will not betray him, KK seems to care not about even the existence of a moral compass. He does not seem affected by the shenanigans Srikanth is up to unless they affect KK's own ventures. KK it seems will hide or choose to not see certain faults of his children, so long as his children service KK's own ambitions. Prabhakar wants's Sidhanth to have his own vajoodh, to strive far from the shadow of his own successes. KK is happier with his children in the places he has already designated for them. If KK's children stray, he reigns them in like he did with Srikanth today.
So what then is the merit of KK and Prabhakar's friendship? It is life long yes, it is old and encompassing. But what holds them together even now when these two are very differently disciplined individuals. KK seedha nahin hai, but Prabhakar is very rigid in the way he navigates the world. Both are flawed in the way the percieve and adopt fatherhood, but Prabhakar is infinitely more wise and loves his son enough to want the best for him.
Anushka finds Srikanth and questions him about the drugs vs sugar debacle. Anushka begs for him to tell the truth citing that she doesn't want the trust that she has in her brother to break. Srikanth says he doesn't want her to tell their father, again thinking of only himself. Srikanth is selfish, a trait the Reddys seem to throw out in abundance. Anushka exclaims that Sidhanth is definitely in danger and how could her own brother be capable of not even thinking of Sidhanth's safety at this point. Anushka's worry settles into complete fear. She questions after him and has already sought his phone numerous times.
Sweety Ji comes to and is beyond overjoyed when Sidhanth comes to on a manji on the side of the road π Sweety Ji apni ayurvedic jaadu se Sidhanth ko heal kar diya! Sidhanth is too much isn't he? Writers, whatever you do, never let Sweety Ji go! His very articulate and easy going character is a much needed foil for Sidhanth's broodiness.
Precap: We see the ever perceptive Sweety Ji ask Sidhanth what's going on between him and Anushka - a question I for one would love to know the answer to. On the otherhand Anushka finally sees Sidhanth and gives him the lecture of a lifetime, cuing from the promo that's been going around.
