Haldi done! Shaadi Day 1!
Vineet's beizzati was a sight to watch and having it be done by Papaji was the icing on the cake. This scene was needed for his path of redemption. He wasn't a great guy towards his wife or girls, but he genuinely is trying and made a start with kicking out his abusive damaad from his daughter's life. I loved his speech. I loved him stating some of the same things Anokhi has been saying all along. And the way in which he apologized and the way his girls were shining with happiness to have their father be their superhero was beautiful. It was a drawn out scene which had great impact.
Devi is keeping track from now on. You got to put haldi first, I get to feed him sweets first. Way to make your child a prize in a tug-o-war. Shaurya being smart wants to keep his mothers as equally important. It's nice to know that Devi isn't changing too fast, but it gives me solace that she loves her child. But her Sabherwal pride always stands in her way and having to show off with money is just ingrained in her. To contrast that you see how Shaan and Aastha getting their child ready for his wedding gives them so much happiness and gives their child the biggest joy. Devi needs to realize that her pride is keeping her away from her child's joy.
Anokhi calling her PS with her happiness is the cutest. She wants to share her khushi with only one person. I hope she does the same with her gham. She thanked him for giving her Papaji back to her. He thanked her for giving his Mom back to him. Always equals in their give and take. It's a common thread between them that they know what it's like not to have a parent's love and yearn for it.
Extras: Babli is getting divorced - what will Vineet do next? Babhir is happening - and it's slowly growing on me. Tej is an ass and I hope Devi has the spine to stand by her son. The haldis were so cute - small and intimate function. Also our bride and groom are beauty personified!!
Precap: same! Let's get this shaadi underway and get some drama going! If Anokhi has to take an exam, I hope Reema, Bebo and Kitty all get the same message.
