For me the highlight of yesterday's episode was Shobha-Shikha scene in the start and the Shobha-Vikram scene towards the end. π
Shobha-Shikha scene
Though it was an extension of the previous episode I thought the scene was quite relevant. I felt it had an undertone to "Women Power" subject in a slightly different way.
One of the most famous lines ya quotes that we use today is that a Woman is the enemy of another Woman...Aurat hi Aurat ka Dushman hai types and that if women start respecting other women then the society would automatically start turning into a much more progressive one.
Last night's episode to me was - The whole incident that happened in Shobha's life coming to a full circle. Shobha experienced the exact same thing that Shikha did. How did the women in her life react?
Her Mother : Who asked her to sacrifice and compromise
Her Mother-In-Law : Who is all Class on the outside and crass on the inside and who is trying hard to clip Shobha's wings even when she knows her daughter-in-law is right.
Garima and Usha who in their own way made Shobha see the truth and motivated her.
How did Shobha react to the whole incident when it happened to Shikha? Did she ask Shikha to compromise? Did she sit with her own story and demotivate her? No instead she taught Shikha the biggest lesson life had taught in the past few days. She could have very well ignored Shikha's tears and be relieved that her Job is safe and rejoice about it but instead she lend Shikha a shoulder to cry, offered her a hug and asked her to fight...fight for her children and against the circumstance which was trying to defeat her in the race of life. Agar humare society mein har aurat ka ravaiyya aise hota toh kab ka we would have seen a change. For me that is what the whole Shikha-Shobha interaction depicted.
Thats so well said Viji ππ .. u made me look at that scene from a totally different angle .. so agree with u .. she herself has the experience of dealing with such situation and she also saw what other women in her life adviced her in this situation .. few motivated her to fight while few still trying to demotivate her ... And learning from her own life's experience , she decides to motivate Shikha here who is going through that same phase in her life ... it was really a wonderful scene showing women power but in a subtle way ππΌ
The last scene Vikram and Shobha (They are totally growing on you π³) did you see the authority with which he asked her to sit in the car? "Chalo gaadi mein baito, main tumhe drop kar deta hoon". He did not ask her shall I drop you? He did not taunt her and drive away...instead usne jaane anjaane mein hi sahi haq jataya which even Shobha noticed because she asks "Aap pooch rahe hai ya bata rahe hai?" and I believe it's the way he said it which was not Dominating or Sly and his no-nonsense attitude which made take up on that offer.
I agree .. he said that with full authority when just a week back remember his hesitation while offering for lift in that rainy night .. but things r slowly changing now .. he feels more confident to tell her come sit in my car and she too trusts him enough to sit in his car π³
And just minutes after Samarth warns Shobha against men and how they are always after one thing we see Vikram actually act opposite to what Shobha just heard. He says "Wohi jo ek aadmi ko ek aurat se chahiye hote hai" and ends up asking advice on hair matters which is not at all surprising considering the fact that women have longer hair, take better care of it, know the right stuff to use etc etc than men (Exceptions hote hai ofcourse) Which completely contradicts Samrath's words ki every guy needs only only thing from a girl.
yeah .. it shows how everything is in our mind actually .. when Vikram told that sentence , Shobha thought he turned out to b one of those guys again and asked him to stop the car but when he later told about hair remedies , she realised how wrong she was .. so its all in the mind .. its how we or our society judges people on face value
Vikram in his own blunt-direct ways is actually breaking every illusion that Samarth ever built of being the perfect guy and though reality hurts like a bitc* we actually see Shobha smile and laugh open heart when with Vikram π
I m so loving it .. fact that Shobha feels so confortable and positive in his company says it all π³
Symbolism (Don't know if it makes sense)π
When Shobha and Samarth were interacting dim lights were used which shows that a life with him will only be full of darkness...But on the other side when she meets Vikram on the road it's in bright light which obviously highlights the opposite.
Shobha walks alone after meeting Samrath which shows her present journey in which she is alone but it does not stay that way for long as Vikram arrives and asks her to join him, meaning a journey together and one that is filled with truthfulness and laughter as we see during their interaction.
Viji the dim and bright lights bit I thought too in another episode π . its like Samarth only brought darkness in her life , so their meeting too shown in that dark room whereas Vikram is slowly bringing back that light and positivity in her life , and so see those lights around them whenever they r together π³
Over all an amazing episode π
