We did not have much of any romantic scene this week since the focus was on Mother's Day and the search of Addu, yet in the midst of all these, we did have two MM moments, and one of them was their adorable phone conversation. The scene starts with Mohan calling Megha to inform her about his meeting with Munna's grandmother. As Megha picks up the call happily, Mohan compliments her by saying that she looks beautiful when she smiles. Megha asks him how he knew that, and he replied that he just knows. The conversation went on with Mohan knowing every single thing Megha was doing without even being with her, which surprised Megha. At the end, Megha says to him that he would bring back their happiness, and when Mohan asks how she knows, she says that she just knows, which tells about her strong faith in him and his love for her.
The scene shows how their hearts are connected for the lifetime. It shows that even though they are away from each other, they are one, and for this reason, the scene definitely deserves to be in the romantic category since it's about their faith and love for each other. It's about them knowing everything of each other without the need of being under the same roof. It's about them being an inseparable part of each other's existence.

This week saw the happy and lighter moments coming into the story at regular intervals between the heavy and tear-jerking moments. And out of them there are two scenes ' Mohan and Megha's cute nok-jhok in the store and Nanhi and Rimjhim's bickering in office, both from the 7th May episode,that made to the list this time.
The first Funny moment of the Week came when Megha called up Mohan for shopping in a store. Being a mother herself, Megha rightly guessed that her daughters would try to make the upcoming Mother's Day special for her and hence she too planned to get them gifts to surprise them. Mohan suggested that they should gift their daughters the same thing. Megha immediately objected ' how can Nanhi be given a gift that suits Rimjhim ? After all, she's grown up now and is of marriageable age! Mohan is shocked ' Nanhi has still 10-15 yrs to go before her marriage, it's her age to have chocolates now😆! Megha reminds her that that age of hers was 12yrs back, not now and proceeds to buy a gift for Rimjhim. She chooses an Indian Barbie doll dressed as a bride and Mohan freaks out this time ' it's certainly not Rimjhim's age to get married😆! He snatches away the doll from Megha and hands her another doll. Megha gets amused at his behavior and tells him that every father has to pass through this stage and better he gets readies himself for it, coz even Rimjhim would get married someday in the future.
The other scene came from the same episode when Rimjhim and Nanhi fight with each other in Awaz India office. Mother's Day is on the way and Rimjhim wanted to make the day special for her Yashoda Ma. Mohan suggests discussing the plans with Nanhi and accordingly she goes to meet Nanhi in the office along with Guru. She finds Nanhi shouting on a fellow colleague and wonders how to talk to her.She spots Beera and asks his help, and it's Beera's turn to get worried now ' how would he bell the cat? Beera introduces Rimjhim to Nanhi and she now fumes in jealousy ' she's her Spiderman's princess, not anyone else! Beera calms her down and makes the sisters sit together. But as luck would have it, Nanhi behaves a bit rudely with Rimjhim ' she didn't ask for anyone's help in her preparations! Rimjhim retorts back ' she could go to any extent to make her Yashoda Ma happy! She calls Nanhi "rude " and Nanhi in turn calls her "mouse"😆. The two girls start screaming and shouting at each other while Beera and Guru keep looking at them bewildered😆, not knowing whom to stop first. Finally Beera pitches in, and takes away Nanhi and makes her understand not to be jealous of sharing her parent's love with Rimjhim and help her in her preparations since she's the elder one of the two.
The sad scene of the week has to definitely be Mohan and Addu's meeting at the asylum.
Mohan walked down the asylum corridors in trepidation, looking at the inmates around, picking up the ball for one of them, one could feel the heaviness in his chest and weariness at his feet. As he entered a cell, supposedly where his son was, he looked around to find a bunch of writings on the wall, Nanhi '.Maa' and then his eyes fall on a caricature of his own face with a huge cross on it. As his eyes went around the wall, faint footsteps drew his attention to Addu led in by two nurses. He stood transfixed unable to fathom the scene in front, his eyes moving to Addu's feet that no longer supported him and hands that shook unable to hold a glass of water. Shock and disbelief rocked Mohan as he called out to his son. I don't know if I can do justice to write about the myriad of expressions that flashed through his face, as he moved forward to hold his son. One has to watch it over and over again to get the feel. Hats off to Kunal for pulling this scene off yet again with an ease that only went on to prove what a wonderful actor he was.
It was just a minute, but felt like eternity as he stood there watching helplessly, his son grow violent throwing things and him, pushing him away. At first he just stood there, stunned and speechless, unable to believe what he saw, the air around still and dead. Eventually tears started welling in his eyes and he fell to his knees.
And then as he stood outside the door peeking into the room to see what was happening , he could not help but recollect some of the good and bad moments of the past. The cricket game at the farmhouse , Addu calling him Papa probably the one and only time, brought back another gush of tears shamelessly down his cheeks. Mohan's angelic smile, content and serene as he runs his hands through Addu's hair, a lone tear running down his cheek is possibly one of the best Mohan Addu moment viewers have witnessed as yet. Mohan's search for his son had come to an end. His son was just there with him, and nothing else mattered. As he bend down to kiss his son, one wonders if the heavens were showering their blessings to this father whose untiring search for his son finally saw the light and was shining on him.
