Today's episode continued with the same feel as yesterday's episode. Family at loggerheads over MU over one person's blind fascination for social ladder, someone's impulsive judgement after listening to half of the story, a person who always speaks before he thinks and the folks who easily extrapolate to a conclusion based on some assumption. These are real life genre of folks we all get to see in real life...especially in a joint family situation.
The biggest pot stirrer of the situation, engrossed in her blind fascination of trying to be the wife of a successful husband, is ready to negotiate with the devil himself at the cost of her own brother who always treated her like his own child and her husband's dignity. Of all the people Rinky accepting Ashok's dangling carrot proves money indeed blinds some people's minds.
Mr Bhalla is putting all his life savings at risk trying to establish his role as the patriarch of the home...and in one strike estranging his older son and his family as the 'others'.
Was Raman wrong? Fact : It was his hard earned money and who he wants to give should be his choice, Why does he owe anyone any explanation for that? Yes, he made the error of speaking harshly with his father, but he has never shrunk from any of his responsibilities towards his family before and also tried to apologize to his father ...but instead faced his father's wrath in front of an outsider. Wasn't Mr Bhalla being highhanded ?
And this is a pressure I feel all male face sometime in their life, when they have to choose between family and wife and if he chooses wife...he gets an automatic tag of being wife's pet. But the question arises, why can't a man stand up for his wife's dignity...isn't that part of the wedding vows? Or are wedding vows secondary when it involves his own family. I grew up in a joint family ...I have seen this predicament that men face so many times...where siding with the right is tagged as 'wrong'.
And Raman's exchange with Ishita in the bedroom was expected as he was miffed with his dad's cold shoulder and again was acting on his emotions which got hurt because of Mr Bhalla's check throwing incident.
The three people who I liked most were Mihir, Simmi and Ishita...Simmi held nothing against Ishita and rather shared her honest opinion about Raman and also the situation. Ishita also pleaded with Raman to resolve his issues with Papa-ji. And Mihir continues to be the gem of a person that he is...though he's unfortunate to have first his mother and sister and now his wife as wannabe socialites who would not hesitate to put his wishes and his dignity for sale in order to achieve their dreams of life of 'riches'. Yes there are people like the Arora women too.
Romi is caught between his past experiences, Bhai's words and Sarika's insecurity.
Another nice episode...which has generated excitement of good kind with argument from both sides.
P.S. I like this Ashok...true to his original sketch ...the manipulator...the opportunist who liked to feed on people's weakness to get to his goals. A good story needs good antagonist...
