This is probably the first time that I've actually muted and skipped Janki ma and Mauli's scenes. Honestly I've just had enough of them. I've heard the gyan 1000 times and I'm tired of it.
Two shining moments in this episode that I'm glad we got without Janki and Mauli involved. The first being the conversation between Tanvi and Vijay. Finally they are able to talk about this accidental pregnancy and no surprise they have differing viewpoints. Is this a shock to them - yes. Are they both responsible - yes. Is this a decision they need to make together without anyone's interference - yes. Vijay doesn't want to have another child and it's most likely due to already having three grown children. Tanvi is probably in the same boat too but she's now been blessed to be carrying at this age. She's confused and doesn't really know what to do but her heart doesn't want an abortion, and I'm glad she stated that. Keeping a child by force and getting an abortion by force are both wrong. This needs to be a choice. It was nice to see the differing viewpoints without the annoying gyan because people actually got to communicate and express their feelings without fearing being gaslit.
The second highlight is Rahul. Rahul clearly is still not on board with his mom being pregnant but he's got a heart and can differentiate between being upset at someone while at the same time genuinely caring for them. While Tanvi struggles at this age Vijay refuses to help, but Rahul will. He knows it's the right thing to do - regardless of how he's feeling. Tanvi notices this and there's a little proud feeling and comfort smile from her. She knows Rahul is upset but being her son he'll always be there. This isn't a big surprise, we've seen this side of Rahul when he fought the entire house for him and Mauli. He'll gladly pick a fight with anyone or be upset, but will still treat everyone with the same level of respect. Rahul, you are truly one of a kind. What I loved most about him was him trying to confront his dad and laying out absolute facts. He laid out perfectly that this pregnancy is due to Tanvi and Vijay not being careful so BOTH need to figure this solution out, not just his mom. He wants his father to take accountability and "man up" to his responsibilities. Bravo Rahul 👏👏
This entire thing better wrap up tomorrow cause I'd rather have a peaceful simple episode on Friday.
