Misti,
Hilarious comments. I like your "conphusion". The creatives are giving you a lot of material these days. I think you will get a lot of material after this "muh dikhayi" party. By the way, I have started finding Sohan Lal and Kamla hilarious in their interactions. Initially, this character had repelled me and may do so again in future. But for now, his grandeur schemes with the help of his partner-in-crime Kamla are coming across as funny. At least he is spending money for whatever reasons. Wonder if that gaudy necklace is his gift to Divya at the party.
I too was thinking what Ruchi had said about Divya. Divya has decided that she is directing a show that has been written by her. She is also starring in it as Tulsi (can they stop playing the song in the background as I have got the message that Divya is going to sacrifice like Tulsi). I wonder if this house has something in water that anybody drinking it loses their mind. Divya of course is the anecdote for Raj who has suddenly become the sanest one in the house. Wonder what will happen to Gaurav if he moves to his house? Will he be immune to the power of this house or will he too succumb?
Divya is reading in Raj's response what she wants to read. Any normal human being would be repelled and angry to hear a justification that they should marry after this person who has been there for 10 years, dies. Then if Sarita falls off the stairs, anybody would try to catch her if they are nearby. Even Divya rushed to Sarita and was concerned about her. Does that mean Divya is in love with Sarita? Never mind this question...because right now it seems that she is.
Sarita also likes to believe what she wants to believe. She wanted to believe that things would work out with Raj and that's why she used to let Dadi give her hope. Dadi's false hopes are just empty and her support too was really quite meaningless as she usually lets the shouting match go on for a while as that is entertainment. Then she says a line or two to support Sarita.
Here Divya is a much better option because Divya has plans and so is a willing happy guinea pig in Divya's experiment. According to Sarita she is seeing some progress where Raj doesn't have a sullen face anymore, saved her from falling and actually spoke on Sarita's behalf for the first time. But wouldn't Raj have saved her from falling anyway because he was that way even in those 10 years. Divya telling Sarita about underhanded methods was laughable because isn't that what they are both doing with Sarita the one who started all this. Divya actually in the beginning was planning to be quite honest with Raj and just wanted a talk with him. It was Sarita who stopped her. Sarita is insecure and also has low self esteem. Maybe that's why Divya comes and gives her all this pep talks. But is it good if in the long run, this plan backfires and false hopes are dashed. Divya being an impulsive one hasn't given a thought to her plan firing because she is only thinking of happy endings of stories in her mind.
Also, Sarita's insecurities will keep on causing accidents for her. So far she has fallen two times just seeing Divya and Raj's emotions for each other. Of course Sarita wouldn't mind because according to her Raj saving her is an indication that he loves her. Sarita is not only very insecure, but she doesn't have much idea about Raj while living with him for 10 years. Yes, he was not approachable, but at least one knows some basic nature of that person. So one day she was worried that he would hit her when he comes to know about her pact. She also dreamed of him snatching that broom from her and she was fearful about his reaction. Yesterday, she told Divya that he must have been happy to hear about her death. IF she thinks this way about him, why is so much in love with him. Anyway for now, Divya is her new found best friend until the plan backfires and then she will go back to blasting Divya.
Then the parents of Raj have to be most delusional people. So that palaki idea was Sohan Lal's. Why did creatives not make it clear last week? It seemed strange that Divya would come like this all dressed up like a bride. This execution is making me shake my head because if leads actions seem strange or illogical, it is because of their obsession to keep important things under wrap. Shouldn't they show somethings upfront so that audience can understand that there is some logic in the story and connect to characters.
Anyway, Sohan Lal involves Kamla when he is thinking of some silly schemes because the mistress seems to point out holes in his planning. Kamla on the other hand is in her own world of delusion and also wants to get back in Sohan Lal's good books to show off the mistress. So she butters him up by serving him, buttering him up or telling him what he wants to hear that he is the most intelligent person and a woman has no brains. But still deep in her heart she does want Raj to be happy and has decided that Divya would be the one to do so because she believes in her serial image. But both are delusional that they think that a grand party thrown in Bhopal would impress Divya (the one who must have gone to several parties in MUmbai) enough to make her stay as Raj's second wife (mistress).
Finally, there was Raj. I like your linking of Divya as the one who switched him off by leaving and has switched him on now. I liked him yesterday in that exercise scene with Divya where he was acting so sane and Divya was getting confused with his behavior. He is not behaving like the way she has written the role for him. So Divya's bafflement was amusing. Hopefully, this party will turn out to have a twist where Divya is tripped rather than Raj. But Raj has become the sanest member of this household as of now.
For your last question, it is not coming across as Raj having feelings for Sarita. Also is it love when people fulfils last wishes of a dying person. Isn't that just compassion? At this point, I just seen empathy for Sarita in his behavior = the empathy that was missing for 10 years. He is thinking of settling her before he decides to live with Divya. That is what he needs to do because he cannot build his happiness unless Sarita is happy first being that he has wronged her for so many years.
