Bepannah ~My thoughts ~ep140~27.9.18 Those held hands..
I recall the holding of hands of a certain couple kick started the story of Bepannah. Pooja and Yash never lived to reap the realization of their love. Their duped partners,Aditya and Zoya were left in the world of the living to face humiliation, grief , robbed of ever trusting love between two people and the institution of marriage itself. Time is a great healer for those who find love again! The kind of true love that seems almost unreal to find in this world where people are not what they seem to be! Blessed are Aditya and Zoya who stand before the world today with held hands. Celebrating their journey and ultimate finding of true love.
In their journey which is still underway, they have to make many decisions. The hardest one they both face now is seeking the blessings and support of their respective families. As we see , from both sides Zoya and Aditya have to swallow severe opposition and rejection for their love, by one of their parent as their bond is seen to be against their parent's agreement.
Another thing that comes to my mind after watching this episode, is how in life we feel certain scenarios and predicaments we find ourselves in often appear as history being repeated. Whereas in some situations we sense that we are about to make history itself by our actions for times to come.
To clarify, I see Zoya once again in a situation where her in laws to be, reject her outrightly. Mind you slight progression in her condition, at least she had interaction with her to be in laws.. with Yash she never came across Yash's mother or sister while he was alive. We have Adi on the other hand who as much as I can recall , never eloped with Pooja , but probably had an arranged love marriage. In Zoya's case he has to go through an ordeal which many speculated was an action he was likely to take eloping! However he experienced a deviation from the way his previous marriage took place. On the contrary Adi was under pressure to negate all the content, wagging tongues predicted. In Zoya's case.. he experiences other challenges of awakening his love in Zoya's heart! at the same time his experience is about saving Zoya's honour, her family's honour and his own family's honour! When they marry against many storms.. it will be history in the making!
Their holding hands before their elders is not irreverence towards, them, some show of disregard to societal norms but to exemplify the highest above all virtues.. the virtue of love!
Yes she loves him! repeats Adi at the threshold of his home. Anjana shows her true colours at seeing the adamant spectacle of their held hands. Adi speaks of marriage. A second one! for both of them ,not an odd couple but a most appropriate couple. It's almost as if their previous marriages failed so that out of that destruction a new powerful creation comes about in place! By the blessings of Mahadev who is known as the destroyer! Plus the deity, who creates out of destruction! Yet Anjana resists the signs! and uses her prerogative to withdraw the birth right every child seeks from its mother! Her blessings! Zoya weeps, she never willed this rift to be created between mother and son!
The good are not left vulnerable and unaided. Harsh decides to support his son! He can see outside the box that he just might lose his son! He knocks senses in his wife's venomous thoughts! had Adi chosen he would have married and then could have come over to merely inform them, they have married! Harsh actually praises Adi's action to bring Zoya over with a view to marrying her honourably! In fact Harsh encourages their marriage should take be place asap! Harsh is farsighted. His family respectability does matter to him! He is a man of reputation! He cannot risk having an unmarried Zoya under his roof! Aptly Adi reminds his father of his earlier suggestion of asking for Zoya's hand in marriage ! should be an interesting scenario especially if Waseem washes his hands off Zoya!
As opposed to Harsh, Anjana only considers moves to wrench free this holding of Adi Zoya's hands! Her mental instability begins to show in how she pulls Zoya's character down! Once again high life style of living in luxury and comfort, to her, becomes the yardstick for a happy and content life! Going back, she took her cheating husband back because Anjana could not divorce herself from the grandeur of her life! now she accuses Zoya of being a gold digger!?? Which I find pathetic! as Zoya hasn't come from the streets.. she comes from an affluent back ground herself! no wonder Adi protests! and reminds his mother Zoya is going to be! her to daughter in law! I don't blame Anjana's gold digger comment, on second thought ,as Pooja by the sounds of it.. was one who fleeced Adi and the Hooda's well and proper!
On the face of Anjana sees it as a power struggle between her and her DIL.. which is not uncommon depends on how both MIL and DIL play their cards to keep peace in the household. That also some mothers find it difficult to let go of their baby boys! especially when he the boy becomes a man and marries! With Anjana though ,we know she is an evil nasty criminal, who wouldn't blink an eye lid to remove her adversary out her way. I dread what Zoya may be subjected to? But I have faith in Zoya.. as opposed to Pooja she will be the one to unite the family rather than divide them.
How moving the scene is when he packs to leave! She reasons with Adi, she's just lost her dad.. she would hate for him to fall out with his mother. I loved how he consoles her.. no one can come between the bond of mother and son.. he heals her ,the same logic goes between her father and her. again he reason's the angst of their parents directly towards them, really stems from the fury at the other person due to which the blood bond seems watery!
Mothers will be mothers, especially those whose daughters go through an almost near miss marriage and are refused entry into the paternal household on the charge of dishonouring the fathers honour! Roshnaq wants to know if Zoya got to Hooda house? she is apprehensive about how she was received?
Lovable Arjun comes to the rescue! Knowing Zoya.. she snivels but to me she doesn't seem the sort who will squeal about her future in laws to her mother! Zoya is more the kind who asks about her father.. who gives the rest a mouthful at getting in touch with her! Zoya is the kind of daughter who will accept whipping on behalf of her dear ones ,to spare them the pain.. Zoya on loud speaker tells her father.. it was her who got in touch with her mother and not the other way around! She also asks for his pardon and assures him she will not get in touch with them again! did I sense Waseem's hard soften after he hears Zoya's voice? Adi had consoled Zoya.. you cannot stop being his daughter! let his anger and shock abate..
This strategy is being used by Harsh on his wife Anjana. But the manipulate ,warped mother has her own moves! She packs her bags to leave! Might stay, w slap a condition! A test for Adi .. choose.. Zoya or her!.. Adi too is a hot headed, do as he pleases stud! But who has legal codes and loop holes in his genetics! He accepts and respects his mothers decision, Zoya will leave the house which belongs to his mother!
Where she goes, there go I .. However Adi calmly spells out the ruling, his mother too has to accept and respect his decision! if Zoya cannot share the same roof with her.. she will leave and he too will leave with her as its his responsibility to safe guard her till he is not married to her!
Has Anjana's plan back fired? Or was this what she hoped would happen? I say to myself did she really want to let go of Adi? lose him? As it the whole scene of Adi and Zoya hand in hand was a losing battle for her both as a mother and as a wife. Adi and Zoya, holding hands emerge strong as an invisible spherical metal ring a full circle with no beginning and no end complete in itself!
Its bad enough for Anjana to see that Adi and Zoya love, surpassed the nuptial bond of Harsh and her. As Harsh clearly overruled her demands and went over to Adi and Zoya, blessing them with his support in doing things the right way! Hamlet53, 28 .9.18
The episode was pleasantly predictable.. it was a good example of how humans behave in untoward situations. How reactions from the family does have an effect on all caught in an untoward , hard to handle situations. We see the likes of Waseem and Anjana as parents who smother their children with love to such an extent that they fail to realize they are squeezing the life out of their children! Emotions make humans take extreme steps which they later regret in the real world! Precap: sounds delightful! A most befitting name change for Zoya Siddiqui ! me dancing!!
