Episode#64 – May 17, 2012
Punches in the face, kicks in the guts, twists ‘n turns, squats ‘n ducks and it all ends with a big “BANG!!!!” And here is my BIG BANG THEORY FOR TODAY……
Not going into the logistics of the mission possible “Save Ansh”, let me just straight out bring forth the shining stars of the episode.
1. Prateek and Pankaj trying to tell Yash the truth. Even though they were not able to spill the beans, the seed has been sowed in Yash’s mind, for later. Even when Aarti was gesturing for Pankaj not to say anything, Pankaj was ready to go ahead with it; and he will go ahead with bringing Yash to par on the truth. Or it very well maybe the Seniors Scindhias who might spill the beans in angst. Spill over it will in any form, once Yash spill starts asking questions. I like the fact that Pankaj was not going to hide anything despite Aarti not approving it. This only reiterates that even in the future, the brothers will stick close and not hide things when they feel something unfair is happening in the family.
2. Aarti resting her head on Yash’s shoulder. That will be etched in his mind forever (and in mine forever), and he already made up his mind that he would be the one to support and take care of her. He already respects her a lot and he does not even think twice about going and executing things for his family. He has wholeheartedly accepted Ansh and Aarti as his family. Aart is a strong and matured woman, but from time to time, any woman will look for that support from her husband and partner. The support that she never got from Prashanth. How many times have we not cuddlerd or rested ourselves on our better halves for just that moment of reality that we do have someone to hold on to, we do have someone to rely on and we do have someone who will take care of the family.
3. Aarti always spoke her mind and I believe this is a great quality in a woman. She never hides anything from Yash barring her status (which right now is on the back burner), she will be Yash’s confidant and friend going forward. And Yash will start relying on her more and more. Even when she wants to accompany him to the kidnappers, once she makes up her mind, she sticks to it. So let’s see how Aarti handles the storm raging still.
4. Her reaction to Yash getting shot was well executed. Her initial reaction is slow, which is reasonable considering that although he is her husband, she does not love him. She is reacting to the end result of an action and is shocked that Yash was the one who is facing death instead of her for Ansh. She is reacting to the act of a human getting shot. She is reacting to the act of a person she knows getting shot. This is the defining moment for her heart to accept Yash’s place in her life. Now all is left is her mind. Granted that they showed her maang and her mangalsutr, but in her mind she is thinking of how far Yash could go to fulfill his promise to his family and nothing to do with the fact that he is her husband.
5. Ansh’s question of stating to Aarti that he is a bad boy and so his first dad left him was such a natural question for an innocent toddler. He could have heard someone talking, or it could just be that he was feeling guilty and this had all happened because of him, and he is scared that his Naye Papa would leave him too. It was heart wrenching to see a young innocent boy, going through much trauma, and all he ever wanted was a father and just have a normal family like all his friends.
Tomorrow would be the emotionally charged episode and a fiery end to a week of intense drama and revelations. We know where the blame is going to land, we know there is going to be a barrage of words, and there is going to be an ocean of tears and pain. And of course, we know there is going to be Mrs. G who will go off the deep end that her son is in danger of dying all for not that even belongs to the Scindhia family. Who cares if Aarti went through the same anguish of her son being kidnapped, and who cares a crap if she might end up being a widow; oh no, no, no….Mrs. G is always the victim and will always want to be the victim!
And we wait for the Friday fury….
