The Peremptory RK before his estranged God-friend Ganesha



The Peremptory RK before his estranged God-friend Ganesha -  Communicating the anger, the loneliness and the longing to taken into his fold
After losing his father to death and mother to second marriage, Rishu turned away from his friend Ganesha for not keeping it together for him when he trusted him with his happiness. 

3rd October 2012: The Kabab drama by RK ....by Bhoomi

The kebab drama is obviously a desperate attempt re-assert himself. Someone said a few days ago that it requires strength to accept that you are governed by forces beyond yourself and that is so true here. Rishabh Kundra has bottled up his emotions (which he considers the mark of a lesser man), established himself as the centre of his own universe and feeds his ego by dominating and manipulating others. For such a man to accept anything beyond himself would be equivalent to admitting powerlessness. And power is the only thing that fuels RK now; without it, he is nothing, or so he thinks.

@ Chitra - that collapse of faith you mention also applies to his initial loss of faith. Fueled by hurt, he's given up on everything that defined him and now that facade is starting to crack... Whether he believes or chooses to remain a disbeliever, I believe that he will feel better soon, simply because he's communicating his turmoil now.

Agree Bhoomi. This is what I had felt today. And my 2 cents. If I extend it...what do kids do when they are angry over their parents ? They wait for them to come and coax them, cajole them. And when that happens all is fine. What happens when sometimes parents do not come at all for cajoling. The child gets hurt, stops being demanding, gets scared and finally accepts it without question and just longs to be with the parentAnd here its the case of extended childhood state of RK. Ganesha won't come to him...his demands will end...there will be silenc. e still and finally RK will just reclaim his place under his shelter rather than be away from his protector.

To me, the greatest tragedy of being RK is not his father's death or the sense of betrayal he feels, but his loneliness. Everyone faces traumatic situations in life, but we deal with it because we have someone to share our feelings with. RK lacks that special someone; it's only just now that he's started to vent to Madhu.  @ bold - After some time, even that stops. They'd probably start hating their parents. But hate is a complex emotion in that you still feel for the person. You can't let them go... I don't know at which point a relationship becomes irreparable, but I suspect it's when you don't care anymore. This is what I feel @ atheism as well. The ones who've gotten there through a logical process are often apathetic. The ones who've been hurt/ betrayed, they're conflicted. Now whether they choose to be born again believers or stick with atheism, I believe that conflict should be dealt with first.

B, agree with you there.
And @ bold. Agree with you. And its sort of fodder I will apply chewing the cud method and will see what I will get out of it. Big smile Thank you for this feed. Excellent !!!!



Episode 4th Oct 2012 : Ongoing Ganesha Track - Author himbin

I liked the way cv's are taking this ganapathi track...Instead of just showing that his faith in God renewed once he falls in Love...they actually have a track to deal with one of RK's demons...a 12 year old's lost trust in his true friend,his Bappa...I just loved the precap scene wherein RK has a one on one confrontation with Bappa and in all his anguish confronts his friend with questions pestering him for years...We all go through similar kind of phases wherein we might question the omniscience and omnipotence of the almighty when we feel that he didn't aid us in our darkest hour... Madhu successfully forced Rishabh to come out and face this pain...
Best scene was the one where RK even after persistant trying was not able to go ahead with the drinking...his inner conscience was not letting him to ignore Bappa...his true friend with whom he has a relationship dil se...and we know RK is one for everlasting relationships... He might be upset but, incapable of severing any relationships...I applaud the creatives for bringing this track dealing with RK's trust issues ahead of the actual falling in love track...Though Love changes the way a person percieves things, it need not be the only way to show how its attained...

Episode 5th Oct 2012 : Confrontation with Bappa


Episode 9th October 2012: RK reconciles himself with Ganesha and gets shot

Ganesh visarjan symbolically it meant end of RK. Ganesha is immersed because we create him, we give a form to our God and when it is time to let-go, we immerse him in water so that the clay dissolves and Ganesha once again becomes formless. So is RK by the end of Visarjan is literally on deathbed and also figuratively the man Rishabh Kundra had let go his RKesque image that he extremely loved all these years.


Ganesh Chaturthi to Visarjan track is a watershed moment of RK and Madhu's lives.
Since the story began....first time it is that RK was not treating Madhu as his game, property or Biwi, or competitor or felt vulnerable before her. First time SOMEONE else became more important than his obsession for Madhu.

  • It is solely RK's long-due confrontation and make-up with Ganesha. A part of his anger quenched and peace made. RK loses, almost dies, Rishabh and Ganesha win. 
  • It is soley Madhu's testing of her faith in Ganesha and guided through his faith to accept herself as RK's Wife (Dharampatni). Madhu loses all the anger for RK and now just wants RK wake up and fight with her to give her a reason to start fighting against him for a win. She feels lost without RK now and looks to Ganesha.
