Narottam-Avdhoot. Vatsalya was compassionate and affectionate towards his half-brother. Avdhoot is disdainful and already ready to change equations to master and servant, even before becoming master.
Getting ready for the pagri rasam ... Avdhoot's mother is in a hurry, Guruji is not. Whispers already circulating about Baldev's adoption of Avdhoot ... good idea but whose idea was it?
Vikram and his wife Gayatri - remembering Vatsalya. Are they doing the right thing? Their family is finished, but at least Royal Steel can be saved by this step.
Guruji waiting for Satrupa. Wet wood and bones for the havan kund ... apshagun! Narottam did his bit ... now Guruji is happy to stall the havan. But Pujan is ready to bribe the pandit ... the havan will proceed.
Vikram doesn't want to stall ... he doesn't want to delay any further. Vatsalya is gone, he will not return. At least the company can be saved.
Narottam is annoyed ... has his plan failed?
Baldev ... is a very interesting character. He has agreed for the adoption, but under duress ... and he has no qualms about showing his displeasure. He will not be part of the drama ... he may have had to adopt an idiot, but he won't even pretend to be happy ... regardless of what the investors and shareholders say.
His character is very layered ... fascinating.
Satrupa is many layered too ... the entire Mahal knows she keeps her cards very close to her chest always. Has she run away? No, she is coming back from Benaras.
The pagri arrives ... to the glee of Pujan and family ... and to the distress of the rest.
Narottam still has his eyes on the pagri.
Damo in constant touch with the Mahal ... wait, we are coming.
Another face off between Satrupa and Anami ... Satrupa extends a curt olive branch ... Anami rejects it.
Adhiraj filler scene ... he finds himself an informer to keep him informed about the goings on at the Mahal.
Narottam's breakdown as the puja goes under way, was the most powerful scene of the day. His memories... always insults, always abuse ... for something not his fault, but that of his father ... his grandfather ridiculed his desire to take over his brother's place ... his cousin, now to be his master, abused and ridiculed him, forced him to dance like a eunuch ...
Who was the mysterious lady in green who forced Narottam to dance? Was it his own mother who turned him into a eunuch to ensure he could stay at the Laal Mahal, as he posed no threat to the rightful heir? Or was it someone else?
And Satrupa arrives just in time to stop the pagri being placed on the wrong head.
Precap is interesting - Satrupa proclaims in front of the entire assembly that Anami is her daughter and Vikram's grand-daughter.
22nd August, Tuesday
Announcement from Satrupa ... Anami is the heir of the family.
Vikram disbelieving ...
Gayatri angry
Baldev equally angry ... for a different reason ... he has a daughter and he was never told? Anami reacts to that one ... her father wasn't complicit in the decision to throw her away? Hate for mother intensified further.
Pujan tries to stir up trouble ... he doesn't have to work too hard. Vikram declares only Avdhoot will be heir.
Satrupa declares equally firmly she will not adopt Avdhoot, she is fighting for the rights of her daughter.
Vikram says again ... only Avdhoot gets to wear the turban.
Satrupa again says ... Anami.
Anami puts an end ... temporarily ... to the fight ... by dumping the turban into the fire ... na rahega baans, na bajegi bansuri. Fight is over the turban ... let's put an end to the turban.
Family shocked ...
Anami warns an impassive Satrupa in the presence of the shocked family ... get used to this ... this drama is going to happen every day now. You did tamasha in my house ... now I will do tamasha every day in yours.
Sudha is told by loyal servant Naina of Anami's arrival. Psycho Sudha is not pleased.
What is hers, will be hers one day.
23rd August, Wednesday
Baldev-Satrupa ... powerful confrontation! Both such good actors ... the tension in the air was palpable! Baldev doesn't believe Anami is his daughter ... Satrupa thought he would fight over her concealing the girl ... not about her identity ...
Vikram Gayatri ...Gayatri does not trust Satrupa ... and Satrupa has the power.
Again Mahabharat reference ... what should Vikram do? Fight Satrupa? Gayatri wants him to do so ... but he is afraid this will become a battleground and the destruction will spread far and wide.
Anami is not impressed with her gilded cage.
Small encounter with her father ... Anami has a very small! soft spot for him ... after all, he only seemed upset he hadn't been told about her existence ... she hasn't heard the fight between him and Satrupa, of course ...
Vikram does not like Anami at all ... she will not be his heir!
Adhiraj chases a transformed Narottam on a bike ...
Precap - Vikram ready ... on Pujan's goading ... to kill Anami?!
24th August Thursday
Pujan is getting more and more frustrated and angry ... wonder whether he will start making mistakes, or will Dadaji start to see through him?
Anami-Satrupa ...Anami cannot see beyond her blind hatred of her birth mother ... Satrupa is older and wiser ... and she does understand ... but she has to stay strong, and not let herself be provoked into fighting, as Anami is trying to do. Somewhere I feel she already sees a reflection of herself in her daughter ... and is beginning to respect and like that ... the heir will need to be very strong ... Satrupa was much stronger than Baldev, and it seems Anami will be equally strong ... after anumber of false starts, of course.
So Adhiraj had to abandon his pursuit of Narottam in the last episode ... wonder if Narottam went to meet his mother?
So next he tries to get into Lal Mahal ... apart from the first meeting of hero and heroine, the foray didn't really accomplish much ... unless something more happens tonight. Adhiraj manages to avoid Anami... I guess he doesn't figure out who she really is ... the heir to LM is not likely to be sleeping outside for one thing.
Liked the conversation of Satrupa with Anami's bodyguard (forget the girl's name) ... give her time, she will rebel, that's natural ... but keep an eye on her, and an eye open for any danger.
And liked the way Satrupa settled into a chair for the night to keep a watchful eye over her rebellious daughter ... and the slight smile on her face as she watched her ... yes, Satrupa is beginning to know and like her daughter.
Pujan tries to provoke Dadaji into killing Anami ... of course that's not going to happen ... but Satrupa does see him go towards Anami with a gun ...
Why didn't she call out, rather than run down? Did she think she could outrun a bullet if Dadaji really did shoot Anami?!
Friday & Saturday 25th and 26th August
Quick recap of the essential points only ... of course Dadaji didn't shoot Anami ... but he did make for Guruji, as the perpetrator of this mess ... and Satrupa, after her initial relief at finding Anami safe and sleeping, followed him ... she tells Vikram to shoot her instead ... he can't do that either, but he does threaten Anami ... whereupon the tigress mother protecting her cub emerges from behind the dutiful bahu ... nobody dare do anything to hurt my child.
Second time I noticed ... Dadaji doesn't say he treated Satrupa like his daughter ... he treated her like a son.
Breakfast drama ... Anami is acting like a spoiled brat ... obviously hoping that if she shocks this family enough, they will send her back home.
But Satrupa is prepared for her. 'Breakfast?'
More shocks by Anami ... she gives away the new clothes Satrupa has brought for her, to the maid ... she refuses to cut her hair ...
Satrupa is giving her a long rope ... she seems to accept that Anami will be rebellious at first ... even expects it ... Anami is her daughter after all.
There are these small smiles on Satrupa's face when Anami is being particularly troublesome ... as though remembering her own self, a glimmer of pride ... she wouldn't have expected her daughter to be a pushover, meek or mild ... Anami is living up to what Satrupa expects of her.
In the meantime Pujan continues to instigate Dadaji ... Adhiraj continues to investigate ... and lands up in the Laal mahal to ask questions ...
