Happy Fools Day Everyone!

Episode started with the restaurant manager leaving him, expected. He reached the room, where Anu and kids are worried since it is very late. They put first aid. The scene when Ram keeps the hot bag on his face is damn funny. LOL.

Kapoor is playing billiards or snooker, don't know which, at 1 in the night. The sister walks in, and asks him why he isn't asleep. They get talking and she purposely incites him about Anu. She asks him to play a match with her, when he says, ya, Anu was a great opponent. He says he wants to forget her.

The next day, Anu and Disha are shopping for some Devi Ma's painting, and bargaining with the lady, when Aarav and Ram have some "guy" talk. Why do women take so long to shop? And Ram says, no man has ever understood the fascination behind it. Nice scene. Aarav is too cute.

Ram comes and pays the price asked for. Disha warns him, to be careful after last night's fiasco. Anu falls sick again, and faints. Ram "runs" 2 kilometres to the government clinic and manhandles the disinterested doctor who is reading some romantic magazine. They shut him up in a room and call the police.

Here, the kids are worried.

Precap - This is serious. Ram talks to the doctor, I think he is the specialist, that, it is too expensive around ten lakhs and Ram is tensed. Anu is visibly very ill with tubes and IV on the hospital bed, and the kids come and hug her. She asks for the third wish.

My Take

I finally saw the BD. Too bad they have started that, and so with other normal, clichd nonsense in TV serials. Very obviously, hotel manager leaves him because he is a deewana'. Trust me, no one would do that, even on grounds of humanity, because, humanity nowadays extends only to sympathy. Anyways, Anu wants to check on him but he comes in. She asks him how much he would do for her.

I don't understand one thing though. As a couple, shouldn't Anu know how much money Ram has brought with him to the trip? Don't they plan it together? This is another thing. Why did she even ask to be brought here when she knew they were short of money?

Wishes can be fulfilled by jinns, not normal people struggling to make ends meet.

Anyways, they are shopping. And these two men watch. Nice scene it was. Contrast, they showed their home, where the owner has come in to collect the rent and Ram's house is locked. We come to know he hasn't paid rent for four months. He is absolutely right when he says they haven't paid rent but have gone on a holiday!

I understand what the doctor is thinking. These people don't know Anu is dying. Well. They don't. The owner doesn't. But, it isn't his fault Anu is dying. He has mouths to feed. He needs to feed his children and look after his family. He, too, may love his wife as much as Ram loves Anu. Can the whole world come to a standstill because one woman has cancer? I am sorry, but the world doesn't work like that. It shouldn't. So many people have so many issues, they fight it out themselves. They need to. We can't keep blaming fate and all.

On one hand, Ram hasn't paid rent, on the other he is paying 500 bucks for some painting that Anu thinks is worth only half the price. Empty vessel? I am really not liking this.

In the second episode, when Anu said, we have just removed money from the account, never saved. It was understandable and realistic that these people are a middle class family, they have savings. But now, it seems as if, these people are impoverished peasants with nothing at all! Makers must realise the definition of middle class has changed. I am from a middle class family, we have had our own set of problems, and I have seen so many middle class families, none of them are in such a financial state, even a family, where the earning member has survived from cancer.

Anu falls. Finally, we see some serious issue here. She hasn't got up this time, like last time. Ram runs to the doctor and like a typical government employee that dude is disinterested. Even then, temper is not something that would work there. Ram' characterization is pathetic. You can feel how useless his attempt was when Aarav asks Disha, what happened to Mom and whether she would be okay or not. I felt so sorry for the poor kids. They have no idea what is going on.

One guy I actually like in the entire show is Kapoor. He is seriously awesome. Kudos to Pankaj Dheer for such acting. Calm, balanced yet in turmoil. He loves his daughter. He cannot stop mentioning her, in conversation, but he justifies himself that, the relationship has been burnt.

The precap finally comes to the point of the show. But, again, Ram is shocked with the amount of money he needs. In the initial episodes, he tells Anu to be prepared for treatment and tests and everything. We were led to believe they could manage their finances with planning. But now, it feels, he is someone who is in dire poverty which is NOT middle class.

P.S. Does Anu look or seem like someone who plays billiards? She seems so homely. 😆

It does seem that the cancer treatment 2 years ago has drained them of their resources. And 10 lakes isn't a small amount. Ram telling Anu to get ready for treatment...don't think it meant they have the finances. It just means Mr Ahuja is going to do whatever he can to make his wife beat the disease. How? Mr Ahuja does and then thinks!!!

I feel perhaps not all middle class families can be put on the same level as far as finances are concerned. Seems the father in law has been an impediment in ram's career and progress as per the conversation between anu's brother in law and sister. So not sure how much they have actually been able to save through the years. Totally agree...doesn't Anu know how much they have or don't have?

@Suganthi, probably. I guess cancer treatment + FIL's kartooths would have drained them of money. But, in that case, he should NOT have sold his violin for a holiday. Ram's character is not of a mature 40 year old, I am assuming he would be around that, he is more like an impulsive teenager. :/

I don't have issues with BDs as long as they don't interfere in the essence of the scene and the acting is not suffering.. Yes, the restaurant owner's reaction was unbelievable..

I don't understand one thing though. As a couple, shouldn't Anu know how much money Ram has brought with him to the trip? Don't they plan it together? This is another thing. Why did she even ask to be brought here when she knew they were short of money?

Yes, this question is getting stronger and stronger day by day,.. If the finaicial situation is so bad, why did Anu express the wish of coming to Jodhpur.. I can undertand why Ram couldn't deny her wish, but Anu seemed more sensible, why did she ask for it..

I think the makers are overdoing the finaicial struggle part.. The rent scene was totally unnecessary.. The family situation didn't look as if they couldn't even pay rent.. Seems the makers are hellbent are over dramatising.. But yes, I agree.. Everybody has some or other issues, the world doesn't stop revolving just because Ram's wife is sick,.



On one hand, Ram hasn't paid rent, on the other he is paying 500 bucks for some painting that Anu thinks is worth only half the price. Empty vessel? I am really not liking this.

I am from a middle class family, we have had our own set of problems, and I have seen so many middle class families, none of them are in such a financial state, even a family, where the earning member has survived from cancer.


There is a lot of divide within middle class too.. The family is supoosed to be lower middle class, not all lower middle class would have saving, but that doesn't mean they are living a hand to mouth existence.. Again, I feel the rent scene is unnecessary.. Looks too unreal .

Anu falls. Finally, we see some serious issue here. She hasn't got up this time, like last time. Ram runs to the doctor and like a typical government employee that dude is disinterested. Even then, temper is not something that would work there. Ram' characterization is pathetic. You can feel how useless his attempt was when Aarav asks Disha, what happened to Mom and whether she would be okay or not. I felt so sorry for the poor kids. They have no idea what is going on.

I think they were leading upto the Anu's condiiton worsening sitauaion at a steady phase.. There was a step by step detoriation... After seeing the precap, i do think the chemo wasn't started . As I mentioned in my take, I found this scene with doctor overdramtic and unnecessary.. I think most people in Ram's place would behave the exact same way.. People can't behave rationally when they are under stress and tension.

One guy I actually like in the entire show is Kapoor. He is seriously awesome. Kudos to Pankaj Dheer for such acting. Calm, balanced yet in turmoil. He loves his daughter. He cannot stop mentioning her, in conversation, but he justifies himself that, the relationship has been burnt.

I too like his acting, but the character is immature not just to hold onto his anger but also for destroying Ram's career which inturn affects his own daughter's life.. I can undertand if he behaves this way during the first couple of years, but still holding on to the vengeance, totally immature..


The precap finally comes to the point of the show. But, again, Ram is shocked with the amount of money he needs. In the initial episodes, he tells Anu to be prepared for treatment and tests and everything. We were led to believe they could manage their finances with planning. But now, it feels, he is someone who is in dire poverty which is NOT middle class.

As I said, theere is a huge divide between middle classes..

P.S. Does Anu look or seem like someone who plays billiards? She seems so homely. 😆

Hahhaha, appearances are deceiving , you know

Great take!
I don't understand either how Anu doesn't know the cost of the trip, and if she does then how does she approve of it knowing that their financial state is not stable.
Another thing in today's episode were the kids. After Anu's death takes place, the kids will have nobody to depend on other than their father. If Ram is going to continue spending money in ridiculous ways without thinking for even a second as to what the hell he's doing, the kids are going to be suffering along with him. And why should the kids suffer? It's not anyone's fault that Anu's dying. They deserve a bright future and a good life even after their mother dies. Sure, after reading an article that Disha will fall into depression and she'll start her love life or whatever, she's going to find someone to lean on, I guess, which I honestly am not looking forward to.
What about Aarav? He is still so young, and after Anu dies what'll become of him? I feel so so so so terrible for the kids.
This is some pretty serious stuff, spending money here and there for no reason at all, that too in this condition, they're going to suffer big time.

@Smily, BDs are okay, but, well, it does look NOT real. xD Financial crunch has been shown pathetically in the show. On one hand, they have money for a luxurious trip (violin selling), but Ram doesn't think about treatment. And, there is insurance available... :/ Though not reliable.. I understand there is lower, middle, and higher middle class as well, but the rent part of it was OVERDONE. Actually, I do know some people like Anu's Dad. :P In the sense, not spoiling others' careers, but carrying a vendetta for years...

@Sanjana, I too, am NOT looking forward to Disha's love interest... If they wanted to show that, they could have shown Disha with a boyfriend... That would have been better than introducing one which is too cliched. Seriously, how does Anu not know what is happening? Where is this serial going in like 8 episodes? xD I hope it imrpoves.

Yes, as I said already, the rent issue just don't look real, they are overdramatising it, that's all I can say.. No surprise in a lower middle class family not having savings, but not able to meet a regular expenditure like rent, that too for so many months, totally unrealistic..

About cancer treatment, a family member of mine is a cancer survivor,. She told me about some of the fellow patients, she said when people want to fight with the disease, they just come-up with any means to find money.. She had met some people who actually looked like daily wage employees, but sold the last bit of small land from native or any gold ornament they could find in the family, but finally they brought the money.. That is the mindset of people when the decide to fight it out. Yes, insurances are there, but do you think everyone make use of it? Most often people think of it only after they contract the disease :(.

Yes, I do know people like Mr. Kapoor exist, but it doesn't make their deeds right, you know :(

Agreed!! They're introducing new characters for no need! Introducing Disha with a boyfriend would have been far better than introducing one now, that too in a situation like this. I'm so shocked how Anu is unaware of the things that's happening. Shocking.
