Only scenes worth mentioning in the week

24th December

Only scene somewhat worth watching – the Samrat Suhani scene- started off with Adhiraj turning down Su then Samrat sambhalos her, and I thought, hey, he’s forgiven her and decided to turn it off in disgust – but wait, a SamSu scene which was good, awkward, broken silences, and Sam tells her she can stay with him. Again good scene when they get back to his house, awkward, memories of childhood, then Su ruins it all by only thinking of Adhiraj :( Mohit was really good, and I felt no sympathy for Suhani with her obsession with Adhiraj – the lamest love story in MJHT these days, even lamer than MN with the saas bahu family drama track.

Highlight was that Sajan TALKED to each other! If only on the phone. Gunjan had been keeping herself strong for her sister, but hearing Samrat’s voice finally made her break down and as usual, she couldn’t keep anything from him. Told him the whole story. and Samrat couldn’t stop himself from consoling her, telling her he’ll make things all right. First phone call – Gunjan’s breakdown over the phone, second phone call, a plea for help for her sister and Samrat says he’ll do something, and she says thanks … silence … Samrat … kaho, Chashmish … kuch nahin. Bas, thanks. And a speaking silence. No wonder they have such few dialogues sometimes – they don’t need to talk. Their silences say so much. It’s as though their feelings are flowing through the telephone lines to touch each other. How can they stop talking to each other? They just can’t. And when they talk, their feelings spill out uninhibited – she needs him, his strength, his support – she’s being strong for her sister, but she needs him even more to support her through this. And he knows it the moment she speaks, knows this isn’t the time for his anger – that can come later, because there will always be a ‘later’ for them. There will never be a ‘the end’.

Wonder why Mayank is being so adamant about keeping Samrat Gunjan apart and making sure Samrat stays with Suhani. Is it the same reason that Gunjan has – if Samrat has Gunjan with him, he doesn’t need anyone else, so to make sure he accepts Suhani, make sure she is his only source of support, not Gunjan. The only thing is, for Gunjan to feel this is selfless, for Mayank to feel this is being interfering. SG put the MN bond first, did their best to get MN together, and here Mayank is coolly putting the SG bond on the line, creating distance between Sam and Gun, to ensure that Sam accepts Suhani. I know he promised Suhani that he would bridge the gap, but in this way? Somehow it doesn’t seem right. Even if he has as much faith in the SG bond to know that it will never break, but he is causing a rift, or helping to widen it, and that is not correct. Not for any bro-sis relationship. Putting one relationship on the line for another - that's not his business.

Also, everyone is being very holier than thou in getting bro sis together, but the problem is still the same – does Samrat have a valid reason for hating Suhani? No one has bothered to ask him this, and anyway, he doesn’t want to tell anyone. Sentimentality about brother-sister bond is all very well, but he might just have some justification on his side, some solid reason to hate his sister.

Then again – he might not – cv’s aren’t known for much depth in their storylines.

Bauji sees MN hugging. Uh oh, Nups and Mayank being very unwise here. See how useful an inhibition against PDA is? If it had been SG, they would have been standing sedately 2 feet apart – nothing for anybody to take any exception to. Besides which, Gunjan wouldn’t have climbed down the ladder in the first place! Will Bauji listen to Nupur? Or will he call on Samrat? And what effect will that have on Sajan?
Another thought – will Bauji insist MN get married immediately – and that put next set of strains on MN?
