Like I said, what kind of moron just hammers the glass of a fire extinguisher casket so people can run for their lives and she get can the whole damn mall to herself? Shopping hi toh karna hai, football thodi khelna hai yaar!đĄ
The only saving grace was that Uma genuinely thought that crazy woman was short of hearing and mute as well and felt he had to pick her up (cringe, cringeđľ) because she wasn't paying heed to his shouts.
The cause might be different, but the effect is the same. Made me sick at the pit of my stomach. The moment Meera laid her eyes on our innocent Uma, her hair started billowing at the sides and she had that dreamy-lost-Shraddha Kapoor-wala expression on her face. I mean, for eff's sake, give it some TIME at least for your heart to play violins and your hair to fly like that!!
Avinesh Rekhi was brilliant todayđ the understated way in which he played the clueless chap who needed to do cringe-worthy things because that's the right thing to do. It could've turned out over-the-top and hammy, but there was the right balance of context and humour there. I burst out laughing when he did that bit, "khatra hai" and emphasized each of his words, making whatever gestures possible to convey his point to Meera.
All was well till it was funny. It stopped being funny though the minute Meera Mittal started giving him gyaan about his teeka, "Aapke teeke ko dekhke lagta hai aap ko khud pe bharosa nai hai.
I did dread yesterday's episode where Uma told Kanak there was no need for the teeka and aarti. This is the first major step towards moving away from Bholenath and all the well-meaning sanskars (however unintentional) taught by Maasisa.
Uma seemed perturbed by her words. I mean, for a man who spent more than a decade under the thumb of a scheming woman masquerading as his Mom and who now wants to leave that past behind and reach the heights of success, the first lesson for him should've been to be a little more alert towards his surroundings, have more conviction in himself and not cave in to other people's opinions as much. So much for being a safal vyapari.â˘ď¸
So anyway, he makes his way to Meera's office. That callous woman calls the receptionist and asks her to cancel every other appointment for the day, barring the one scheduled with Uma. Then she literally makes him wait HOURS, observing him like a freakish hawk on her monitor screen, waiting for him to do her bidding while she sits relaxed in her swivel chairđĄ. Poor Uma, he sits patiently, smiling and good-natured throughout, just getting up once to enquire how much longer it was going to take.
During all this waiting, Uma makes a video call to Kanak, in a bid to surprise her. Kanak was shocked, rather than surprised and sadly threw a glance at her purchase for Uma, wrapped in a glossy pink wrapper. As if this was not enough, Uma even proceeded to rub off the teeka while the video call was on, and the more he kept rubbing it off his forehead, the paler Kanak's face turned, her expression drooping into one of aghast, confusion and dread.đ˛
So was ours. Uma, who used to feel "adhoora" without the teeka voluntarily rubbed it off merely because a strange woman who met him for the first time in her life was nuts enough to lecture him on what he should and shouldn't do. Though it was uber cute, the way he felt a sense of accomplishment having made his first call using a smartphone, Kanak's disappointment and shock was kinda hard to digest. I cant imagine what lengths he will go to once he routinely meets up with and works with/under Meera, allowing her to take over his life and thoughts like a lost puppy dog serving its master.
So there. This was the first overt instance of Uma moving away from Bholenath. Future episodes are not going to be kinder to us by any measure.
I could feel the disappointment and hurt in Kanak's voice.đđ She is right Uma does not need to change himself 360 degrees to be successful. A changed man does not mean changing the very core of who you are, and caving in to the demands of a crazy, judgmental world. Sadly, this is a lesson Kanak will have to teach Uma, since he seems in no position to use his own brains even this time around.đ
And that makes me angry because how then does Uma expect to stand beside his wife as an equal? This track is probably going to be a heart-wrenching, knuckle-cracking one for all of us as we see Uma battle the new notions of "change" he is so over-enthusiastic to embrace and the old traditions and values he needs to hold on to, if he really wants to go far in life. Kanak will, of course, be the catalyst that makes him realize this fact. But we can all hope that Uma will likely diss Kanak plenty of times, experiment with his over-smartgiri, fall in trouble, commit blunder after blunder, even distance himself away from his ladylove, break her heart into a million pieces, become someone we'll hate more than we hated Maasisa-ka-Uma - before something life-threatening happens and he has no option but to turn to Kanak for help, support and guidance.
How the f*** will Uma complement Kanak as a worthy soulmate then if she's going to be spending ALL her energy trying to make him see sense?đđĄ
There are two people I wanted to slap hard in today's episode:
1) Meera Mittal, obviously, because the arrogant snooty woman she is, she called Uma to her cabin ONLY after he'd rubbed the teeka off his forehead. And also because, she's testing his desperation and limits as to what he can do to attain success (going by tomorrow's precap).
2) Payal. For f***'s sake, Uma SAVED you from a brothel. Saras saved your ass the other day when she could very well have exposed you. Vansh didn't give it back to you as good as he got simply because he respects you as his bhabhisa and sees you as family. When will you quit being a jealous prick and stop trying to ruin other's people's lives? This wretched woman is planning to set fire to the mithai shop. I mean, how much lower can you stoop? Get a life and quit feeling inferior all the damn time.
Payal is the sort of person who wouldn't be happy even if she is given the Universe. She had lots to crib about when she was living in the midst of luxury in Ladno (albeit, many restrictions too), she has lots to complain of even when she's now married to a sensible, responsible, loving man like Ved, she kept complaining when she felt Vansh was a dependent moron who was mooching off his elder brother and now that Vansh is independent and is contributing to the household expenses and taking care of the family like an adult, she is feeling so much heartburn. What do you want woman?đĄ
So badly wanted to slap her today. She needs a reality check soon. I cant even wish anything horrid should happen to her, because she doesn't seem to learn lessons that matter.
PRECAP Uma is seen standing atop the high-rise building, on the edge I believe. Kanak runs to the spot and calls out his name (did she just fly down there?). But most importantly, WHY IS UMA BEHAVING LIKE A BRAINLESS GIT?
P.S. Who is that mahaan atma who was recording Payal's conversation with her mom? Methinks it's Vansh. What do you guys think?
