A Cocktail of Emotions - 6/4

Episode started with Ram with the doctor and Anu with the kids. Doctor doesn't give Ram much hope, says, it will cost ten lakhs, a huge amount and Anu may not even survive despite advancement in sciences.

Here, Disha is angry and upset with Anu for not letting her know about the cancer. Aarav helps Anu pacify Disha. She asks if they have a right to share her grief and pain. And, she yells at her, when Aarav says it isn't right to trouble someone who is sick.

Anu tells Disha that it is time for her to leave, and she, as a big girl, must handle everything now, the house, Papa and Aarav. Disha doesn't want to take up any responsibility and says Anu will be home soon.

They tell her about Ram's disastrous cooking and they share a good laugh. Ram comes in and sends them home.

On the way back, Aarav asks the family doctor if his mother would be okay, who assures him but couldn't satisfy Disha.

Here, Anu and Ram are talking about the treatment, Ram says it would cost around ten lakhs but he would arrange it. Anu doesn't want him to do so. They have a small fight after which Anu asks for ice cream. Ram asks whether it is always her mood that should be taken care of, but agrees. Anu says doctors can fight cancer, not death.

Even the nurse says the same thing and Ram gets angry.

At home, Disha puts Aarav to sleep and they are discussing the Devi Ma painting, Disha prays for her mother's well-being.

Outside, she is very nostalgic and upset, and broken. She remembers all happy moments and cries. Outside, she finds Ram and they share a nice talk. She asks him about the doctor, and Ram says the truth.

She says she is her mother's ladli now, and he asks her where to find casatta ice cream. They share a nice laugh.

Precap - Ram says they have one FD left, and Aarav brings his piggy bank. In the hospital, as Ram comes in, Anu removes all the IV and oxygen mask as she doesn't want to be a burden on her family anymore.

My Take

Frankly, this was another nice episode. It was just awesome. It had the right mix of everything - anger, frustration, grief, pain, love, hope, despair, nostalgia, responsibility, helplessness, will, strength, weakness, hence the title, cocktail.

The scene between Anu and kids was very cute. Disha is angry, and Anu tries all tactics to pacify her and compares her to her Dad. Well, it is true. Aarav very cutely helps his Mom, sadly, he is the one ignorant about everything. I feel so bad for him. Anu's pain is evident, yet she smiles, smiles and smiles.

When Anu gives Disha the responsibility to take care of everything, I almost wept. Disha refuses. Well, very obviously. As a teenager, she doesn't want to take up all the responsibility. She says so. Secondly, she doesn't want her mother to leave her, hence declines and tells her not to talk of such things again. Anu reluctantly agrees.

Such a cute mother daughter duo was shown there. A mother who is helpless at the hands of death and a daughter who is helpless at the hands of love for her mother, beautiful.

I loved how they interspersed some comedy there, some light hearted moments. These moments made it all the more worthwhile and send a strong message that, keep smiling even during adversity. Never lose hope.

It was funny to hear of the burned omelette and rice not cooked. Anu apologizing for not being there, isn't justified, since, we tend to put all the burden on the lady of the house, yet, it was nice in its way.

Ram is still dejected about the money, and he sees the cute family time sadly. But, he walks in with a huge smile on his face.

*huge applause for this scene*

It was brilliantly executed. Ram didn't want to look helpless in front of family, and he also brought hope with him.

Another strong message - Face the day ahead of you with a smile adorning your face. It may not solve your problem, it will give you more strength to face it.

Don't all of us do this? Leave all our problems behind at home, go for work or resume or daily routine with a smile to face the world?

Disha, being the older one is inquisitive about Anu's health but Ram packs them off. I felt so bad when the doctor had to give some false assurance to Aarav that his mother would be okay.

On the same hand, it was so mature of Aarav to ask the doctor uncle about his mother instead of troubling his parents. Very nice.

AnRa scene as usual, stole the show. Anu very jovially saying, get a warranty instead of a guarantee and Ram looking all grumpy was so cute and so sad at the same time.

He yells at her. She pouts and demands for cassatta ice cream.

In this show, everyone comes and yells at Anu, though she is the one who is sick, and she faces it boldly. This isn't bad since they are bringing out their frustration which is totally normal and Anu being the strong person she is can handle it.

Ram vows to bring even crores if need be. True lover.

Regarding the ice cream, I am not sure if cancer patients can have such things because it generates heat in the body, and it is ironical and symbolic that she asks for something cold since her body is burning.

But, it doesn't matter what Anu eats. She is going to die, anyways. So, I guess, she has lost it. And, that despair was very heart breaking, but was natural.

Disha's character has been given a lot of importance here, mature, strong yet breaking. I hope they don't kill it with some boyfriend crap. I wish they would have already shown her with a boyfriend instead of getting her one.

She putting Aarav to sleep already shows she is stepping into her mother's shoes. It also indicates the impending disaster when in the process of managing the house, Disha loses herself. It was also seen in her thoughts, in her solitary scenes...

Ram - Disha talk was amazing. Disha asks him not to hide anything, and he truthfully replies. The thing about love story ka movie was cute. She scolds him for leaving Anu was responsible behavior.

On the whole, show is progressing in the right direction. No Kapoors again today.

I loved this episode too. I think this week will be a week with very emotional and heart wrenching episodes. This was a great way to start the week.

I'm also really not interested in Disha's upcoming boyfriend or whatever, honestly the viewers are not a tad bit interested in Disha's love life. Agreed- would've been better to have introduced Disha with a boyfriend already. Why bring that nonsense at this point?

I think this week or the next will be the last week watching Anu alive. It seems like she's gonna die fairly soon.

I think every scene that was shown today were acted out brilliantly. Mahima shocks me with her talent episode through episode as I didn't expect her to be this good.

Overall, I'm thinking the show is going the right way. Looking forward to tomorrow's episode as the precap was umm...interesting? xP

Kudos to everyone that acted today as well- everyone did a FANTASTIC job acting wise. Appeared perfectly natural!!

Thank you for the update and take. It was another good episode which brought a lump to the throat. I think this is a situation which many families may face in such a crisis. The struggle between trying to do all one can for the loved one, trying to arrange finance and the guilt which both the patient and family faces, one not wanting to cause burden and the other wanting to do all that can be done.

The actors are doing excellent work and kudos to them, from Ram to Anu to Disha to little Aarav. Ram's pain, the helplessness and yet not wanting to give up and trying to mask the pain for Anu and the kids and scolding Anu for wanting to give up ...All brought out beautifully by Ram.


Anu tries to be jovial in front of her family and also tells Disha she has to look after her father and brother. Yet in private, the pain and sadness takes over. Very realistic. ...no wife and mother wants to leave her family, giving them a life long emptiness which can never be filled...even though time heals all wounds. Imagine all the beautiful events she will miss in her children's lives. Well - portrayed, Gurdeep.


Disha beautifully brings out the struggle between trying to be mature and still being the young teenager she is. Love that her parents are being honest with her. Hope any boy who comes into her life later on is more a friend and confidant than a romantic interest.

Little Aarav is going to be hit badly when he loses his mom. He's too young to realise the gravity of the situation but it's going to hurt him in a monumental way especially since he's his mama's boy. Again the boy acting as little Aarav doing very well.


Right now, they are progressing nicely and the emotions are so relatable. My only hope is that a month or two months down the road, we are able to talk about this show in the same way. Fingers crossed!
