Episode Reviews

Myself

While watching the episode, it was like...Is Episode ka koi Anth Nahin

Such a supposedly tear-jerker episode with main theme being "Alvida"..."Good Bye"

Other than this what happened ?

Still nothing about Mr.Rishabh Kundra faking...The plan is going on and being executed as planned. He leaves, gives his mother, a convincing reason as why he left early, the same excuse which he gave Madhu.

• If RK is not faking - then he behaved exactly the way he would have behaved when going away, maintaining full secrecy...that's what I was originally led to believe. And now I have a memory lapse. I don't know what I was telling Zoya yesterday...that did he write anything or not in that letter to Radhaji. I was asking her, how could he be so sure, that Madhu will not ask for his letter...
• If RK is faking - then again, so far his plan is fool-proof, full secrecy of execution.

Dipali = Audience

So events-wise everything is same. I did not get any inkling of RK's plan and this was shown on the screen through Dipali. She was portraying the audience that had been fed with suspicion and she watches every action, hears every word, snoops and pries on everything shamelessly, with discerning eye and yet she does not have a clue what's going on. She just knows Madhu behaved as if she was bidding good-bye and that RK wrote something for his mother, which had blank paper.

Going back to Myself of the Pre-Sourabh Tewari Tweet and Feb 9th promo days...A trusting ME.

I had been thinking that, their Leaving Plan will hit a roadblock...have an accident and somehow the two mothers will stop Madhu and Rishabh Kundra from going away. Didn't Padmini vow to Radhaji on the day she came to meet her at chawl to express her happiness that Rishabh called her "Maa", that she will never allow that to happen...she will never let Rishabh leave Radhaji and always support her.

Then today, when Radhaji was kept purposefully in dark so that she does not become a blockade for Rishabh Kundra, Why Padmini did not remember that and understood her daughter's wish to go away with her husband and blessed her. Well I can understand, for a minute, she became the mother, who had to do a Bidaai for her daughter anyways. Her daughter was never going to be with her anyways post wedding. So NO net-change effect for her. And may she forgot her promise given to Radhaji. I don't know but for stupid plot reasons in my mind, I was thinking Dipali or Padmini would alert Radhaji about RK's leaving and she will stop them. That did not happen. Here I felt stumped. 

So ST, you & your team...have you forcibly asked Padmini to forget that promise of hers, so that you can now introduce the faking RK.

The Precap

Usually I royally ignore Precap and they never mean anything to me...and I don't talk about it...BUT, in a LONG LONG Never Ending ETERNAL Episode of TODAY, that was the only RESPITE for me. It was like...Okay, finally I see the man. Because, in the whole episode, the CON-MAN Mr.Rishabh Kundra, who is supposed to CON Madhu and Me and Dipali and Radhaji and the world...was not there for Me to see what was on his mind... I'm talking as if I can fathom a Con-Face.   The Precap scene continued with again genuine feelings.

Now...without Sourabh Tewari's Tweet or Colors Promo, today's episode would have actually sent me into a PANIC Mode, because my logic was failing as per the original premise of story development I had in my mind.

But because Sourabh Tewari tweeted and prepared me otherwise, now seeing today's episode, I did not react to go into Panic, but I was waiting patiently for me to get stabbed.As if alongside Madhu, I was walking to Rishabh Kundra at that place where she was looking at him trustingly and I was looking at him too in surrender with the only difference being two contrasting different expectations from him !!!!

Very strange isn't it ? That instead of bolting from there and telling Madhu don't walk there, I was actually walking with Madhu into something Unknown. I really wonder now, why I got ready that way, when my whole plan of someone stopping Rishabh Kundra in end minute failed me today.

I wonder, what I am doing to myself. Do I love Madhu ? Or do I love Rishabh Kundra ? Is it that am not only a Deewana of theirs, I became  Parwaana of them...I really do not know what is right or what is wrong...no more. I think this is just an abyss and I should stop and yet I walk towards an abyss.

P.S: 

I could not be in Fun Sherlock Holmes Mode, because this episode was quiet serious for me for the real things that I felt for myself...but yes, there is no pain. There is just holding of breath.

The Positive points for me today:

Madhu wore the green bangles. Even if RK takes back her Mangalsutra, he cannot ask for the bangles and the blessings given by two women (Ajji and her mother). That is not the property of RK. What will RK do about that? That was not in his plan
