Thank you, AK, for detailed review ❤️ The episode was loaded and you covered everything.
Kate, you are great with symbolisms ❤️
I just wanted to share my thoughts about the characters and references to the symbolisms you guys mentioned.
Rajeshwari
What a DRAMA QUEEN.
I remember during padmani time Rajmata said that Padmani is more dangerous than Rajeshwari because she plays behind the back, while Rajeshwari plays openly.
I can't get over how desperate she is to eliminate Rani (out of ego, jealousy,...) that she changed her tactics. No wonder everyone believes her, as they know she was always honest about her intentions. Heck, I would have believed her if they removed her monologues.
Rajeshwari is in desperate need for a slap from Rajmata, and she will eventually get it.
Veer
First of all, writers are sabotaging the integrity of his character to create some suspense. This will lead the show to lose viewership. Be careful CVs.
Veer's both strength and weakness is that he doesn't share his thoughts. He goes around thinking that everyone sees the situation just as he sees it.
He waited for 3 months to realize that Kiara hadn't moved on from their relasionship and he has to directly tell it to her face (Kiara doesn't care anymore).
Some or all of you will disagree , but I always saw Veer as a man of action. He couldn't see Rani broken down after the Vday party and directly thought of solutions. From his POV Ranisa is handling the case, so he handled her education. Rani wasn't there to complete the preparations, he completed it. Even most of the time the promises he makes, he makes to himself. Others only see his actions (Malini, Kabaddi, Balia,..)
Kiara
For the first time I actually felt bad for her. I can understand her now. Ak said everything I won't add more.
I want Rani to be the first to know about the marriage and support ViKiara
Rajmata/Kumud
Rajmata decided not to tell the truth because she saw some progress in Rajeshwari-Veer relationship, and she doesn't want to ruin it. When she finds out what Rajeshwari is doing, she will change her mind. Reference to Kate's symbolism: Ranisa will lose her powers if Rajmata decides to.
Kumud is not a victim, in my opinion. She chose to lie. She watched her son yearning for mother's love and didn't do anything. Just take your son and leave!. Kumud-Digvijay-Rajeshwari literally ruined Veer.
Rani
Every time she starts talking about her father I get very emotional. And like her, I started thinking something bad will happen to Ramadheer.
After this episode, Veer returned to the position she gave him when he saved her from Jay (a little lower than her father). She will do for him as much as she does for her father.
Reference to Kate's Kabaddi symbolism: Rani is shielding Veer from Ranisa's truth, which will lead her to get hurt emotionally and physically, but he will always support her, even after he knows the truth.
Rani-Ranisa
Ranisa will leave no stone unturned to separate RanVeer, but will only succeed in getting them closer.
Regarding the fire symbolism, I don't think that Rajeshwari will intentionally try to kill Rani, it will happen unintentionally, like Rish said.
To win this battle, Ranisa will start a fire that will affect everyone in the family (Rani is also a catalyst here). I think this will be related to Veer's roots.
