SPM ~My Musings ~3.10.19 The lion with a golden heart..
It’s all about human moral anguish in this episode. Deep remorse over past misdeeds. Both Zaroon and Madhav go through it. Both chose their paths of penitence. According to their mindsets. One, Madhav the lion, choses to raise himself up more than he can be! To reunite a vulnerable, innocent girl to her real love! The other, Zaroon,once again decides to hang on to his original purpose. To hunt out and destroy Kainat! Luckily for him, this time, he picks on the real Kainat. Zaroon plans again to commit murder most foul !
Madhav choses to unify the innocent girl to a life she missed out on, and now deserves. Ensure justice for Saltanat. The girl, who perhaps taught him, the new rule of valuing life. Taught him in her simple ways, to give up the furies that hounded him long enough, since Sakshi died, and instead tap the goodness in him. Kashish/ Saltanat through her quirky feisty ways, made him aware of his own idiosyncrasies! Sigh! Kashish/Saltanat brought him closer to his son Krish , as never before! Madhav in a veiled manner even began to enjoy life. Smile a wee bit..
It’s what she said, that he is a truly good man despite the grouch image he puts on.. Saltanat’s gratitude, that turns the growling lion’s heart into pure gold. A metal hardened heart, slowly burns ,and turns into the most precious of metals! Gold! Madhav continues to burn in the fire of his gross misdeeds towards her. He also burns those unspoken emotions that he perhaps felt for someone, who really is Zaroon’s love, his wife! I would say this guilt burns his heart to such a degree that he wants, his next mission after he abandons his revenge syndrome, to be the task of reuniting his kashih/Saltanat with Zaroon the man, this true Saltanat, loves and is married to.
All this time, sadly, Madhav is aware that Kashish only speaks through her present perspective, and that her past is still disabled.ie Saltanat’s memory is still in limbo! But seeing her speak her mind out, does refine the previously revenge filled ferocious lion . Such is the effect of one’s sincere penance.
Have also to say, Madhav has to answer for alot, on account of his duty of care for Kashish. She surely, always got Sneha’s back up. Now in this fresh incident of Madhav again bringing back Kashish home!Sneha grills and mocks Madhav for his far- fetched rage and revenge syndrome. In fact his sensitive past is raked up! hurtful references to his wife walking out on him, because of his revenge mindset are made. Sneha even goes on to blame him that Kashish now is his newly won trophy! a replacement for his revenge drive! He is blind to the fact that this Kashish is creating a fissure between him and son!. Poor Madhav’s commitment as a good son and brother are pulled to bits! He is condemned with scathing words! All because of his decision to stand by Kashish..it’s painful to see how his whole character gets assassinated! By his own blood! I reckon Madhav takes this too, as part of his atonement for his misdeeds against the innocent Saltanat. It’s seen, that this lion is passionate in asking for forgiveness and is equally passionate also, about taking on what comes his way by correcting the wrong he did! What a man!
Seems Indu too has two children that bounce each other the wrong way. She actually begins to see that it’s Sneha who is the real trouble shooter, who lives off her brother and mother, covers up for her pervert husband Jugal! even threatens to leave home with her husband! Which would be a good move. While Madhav who tends to the family needs , despite his revenge issues , is more self- reliant and mindful wherever possible, to his mother. Madhav keeps the family together by maintaining the peace. Sneha only stirs trouble! and Indu slaps her to show her remorse, at being an ineffective mother.. But then again, Madhav is the lion with a golden heart, for him family is too precious to lose out on the basis of petty squabbles! However in the bitter scene between the Sharma’s brings out the harsh effects of Madhav’s prolonged preoccupation with revenge for years, had on the rest of the family. That Madhav ends up looking like a morally dead man, which I felt was grossly unfair!Indu’s angst reminded me of Zainab’s predicament , her twins also conflicted,chalk and cheese in character.. mind you Madhav's mother and sister also create a scene more so, to cover their own lax attitude for failing to keep tabs on Krish! who left the house, unnoticed by responsible adults in duty of care for him! and they call Madhav an uncaring father!!
But every bruised lion, has a loving cub to give his father a lick of love! Krish in a way assures Madhav he too will take care of his dost didi..Krish watches how his father tucks the groggy Saltanat in bed with Krish.Saltanat literally dozes off on Madhav’s palm as he eased her head on the pillow. The unduly punished girl sleeps in the care of a lion and his cub, thatcan be trusted! Krish regurgitates, how he went to the police station, where he fainted and its was Zaroon dost bahiya! who brought him home. Madhav thus findsout about the quality of care his son was given by his family! As a father, Madhav draws strength from his young cub! Krish’s compassion and lasting loyaltytowards Kashish. The father and son’s hug is about good hope of getting Kashish back on her feet so she can begin to continue her story.. Madhav will be besideher, whenever she does!
The breaking news is out!! Both inSharma house and in Shah Manzil. Kashish is not Kainat but Saltanat her twin!That the woman who resides with Zaroon is not Saltanat! but Kainat!
Zaroon is gutted! To the extent of selfharming himself , at the thought of the closeness he shared with Kainat, leastsuspecting she was not Saltanat . How hefailed to recognise his love! He suffers with bitter remorse at his inability to sense out Saltanat , her nearness, and for being befooled by the conniving Kainat. As a lover, as a husband of his Sufiyana love, Saltanat, Zaroon concludes,himself to be! Ineffective, worthless and pathetic! Now the only way he can redeem himself is topunish Kainat for all her murderous crimes!
But Zaroon too needs, a balm for his wounds. It’s a moving scene where he reveals the dreadful truth to Rubina and Nadeem that Saltanat is in actual factKainat! Zaroon hugs them for support, support all three feel for the grief they are going through! Worst still the uncertainty of not knowing where their unfortunate child Saltanat is?
While Zaroon waits for Kainat at home ready to knife her to death! A nonchalant,haughty, cold blooded Kainat loads her revolver ready to shot Zaroon out of herlife so she can live! It[s now or never! This way but only her way! No way Saltanat’s way! Before her memory returns! No way! only her way! Before Zaroon gets her! she will get him! She cocks her gun..
But again, Kainat’s battle was always about winning against Saltanat!and if possible keeping Zaroon..So once again, instead of heading home. The fiend heads to Sharma house to finish off Saltanat! Full and final!
Only she forgets that one lion and his cub now stand vigil as guardian angels beside Saltanat! Madhav senses a perilous wind blowing, he checks on his cub and his Kashish! Gets hold of his gun! and knows that some one makes entry into his territory. He opens the door! While the sneaky Kainat cocked revolver in hand, crouches.hidden behind a house plant.. As Madhav prowls the outside area of his house.. Kainat tries to sneak in…only some one gags her! Hooray!!! 4.10.19 hamlet53
Precap: Kainat ends up in the same trunk she tried to give Saltanat a watery death! Zaroon bellows his lungs out Kainat Shah Ghazi! Welcome to hell!!! Now why Zaroon does not hand her over tothe law enforcement authorities?? defies my understanding..Stillon second thoughts he probably knows she will buy her way out.. So best she should be given death at his hands. Only that way, Zaroon will end up as a murderer too. He needs sound advice.. By the lion.. Madhav!!
thanks Irshita, esha.. and lovely to see you swansong on SPM..love hammie
