Okay, after seeing that ridiculous precap, I didn't expect the episode to actually be AMAZING. 😲 Meenu's heartbreak was really beautifully shown, and even though it was frustrating to see Abir was gaslighting her as usual 🤔 I am hoping that is coming to some sort of culmination point.
It was also wonderful to see glimpses of Kuhu at her best -- being the pragmatic anchor of the family, and trying to ease the tension of the overall situation in a systematic way. I love that Nanu specifically asked Kuhu to take him to Meenu. 😭
If we use our handy filters to look past the OTT dialogues (especially the one in the precap), it's very easy to understand her anger and confusion over this situation. Both she and Varsha also empathise with Meenu instinctively because their relationship mirrors Meenu and Kunal's. If anyone can begin to understand what Meenu must be feeling right now, it's Varsha.
Moreover, when she was deciding whether to stay in her marriage or not, it was Meenu who validated her as a bahu and an integral part of the family. She has no idea that Meenu is being disingenuous, so her affinity and loyalty towards her makes perfect sense. Combine that with how she equates Kunal hurting Meenu with Varsha being hurt in the same way, and you can see why this impulsive act of Kunal's will have her flying off the wall.
I know we didn't get a Kuku scene, but can I just fangirl over the fact that in the aftermath of this seismic shock, Kunal was taking care of her parents and explaining to them, while Kuhu took care of his mom and tried to reason with her? ❤️
True that, Kuhu was being understanding of Meenu's situation and it came through beautifully. There was atleast one member in the family who understood why Meenu must have felt so hurt.
I did not get what Abir was trying to say. How did bringing up Mehul to the discussion even make any sense? He did not try to understand where Meenu was coming from instead simply kept on passing judgements (for instance saying Meenu only helped Parul to guard her fake self-respect)
How is it that Parul always manages to touch all the right notes? I almost teared up on hearing her admit that she wanted her son to acknowledge her as mother once.
