So Ambar knows who Baawra Mann is.
He's angry ... his usual reaction. Angry with Guneet ... for being Baawra Mann. Angry because for the first time in years, first time after his wife died, he found someone he could actually talk to ... not Nia, his daughter ... but someone he could talk to as an equal ... bounce his thoughts off, without fear of being judged, and found wanting ... of being 'wrong' ...
Even the couple of hit and miss encounters with 'real' people ... the woman at the restaurant ... the lady who played the mouth organ ... his age, some common interests ... but nothing he found in common with them on meeting them in real life.
But Baawra Mann was different ... almost from the start. He had found himself talking to somebody at his own level ... someone who also had her own doubts and fears ... so he felt less self conscious sharing his own ... someone who, when she told him on chat about her roka, it disturbed him so much that he actually fired off an inane message ... and then spent the rest of the day regretting that impulse ... and actually wanted to apologise ... to say sorry... to say he was wrong ...
And he did. Ambar Sharma, who finds it difficult to say sorry even to his own daughter ... managed to pen a beautiful heartfelt apology to the unknown Baawra Mann ... because he really missed her absence in his life.
And Baawra Mann is Guneet??? A woman he hates? A woman who fights with him constantly?
He's not angry at BM's betrayal ... not angry with her for getting engaged. After all, BM told him she was getting engaged.
He's just angry that Baawra Mann is Guneet.
His first stirring of hope that even he could find ... not love, he's not quite ready for that ... but a companion, a humsafar, someone whose thoughts match his own ... someone to talk to ...
All those hopes dashed.
Because Baawra Mann is Guneet.
And he hates Guneet.
And Guneet hates him. She even told him that if he was the last an on earth, she would never be with him.
And Guneet is equally upset. Dr Anurag is a compromise. She's getting on in age ... she is forty years old ... as her mother never fails to remind her ... it will difficult, if not impossible to find a man, a husband, a companion. She should take what she's getting ... and after all, what's wrong with Dr Anurag?
So why is she so upset at NDP's betrayal? At his no-show? She was let down once earlier too ... by another online man who turned out to be not what he said he was ... she should have learned her lesson.
But she hadn't. Someone she had felt a connect with NDP. She felt he was special. Someone she could talk to. Someone she could share her thoughts with.
And he turned out to be another fraud. And this time it was worse ... because she had actually felt that connect with him, that she had never felt with anyone before. She has lost a friend, a confidante, a soulmate.
Hence her uncharacteristic anger when Ambar forbids the decorators from decorating the house for her roka. Usually its her mother doing the fighting, and Guneet plays the peace maker ... but not this time. She was deliberately picking a fight with Ambar ... because as she told Randeep ... she wanted to fight, to shout, to scream .. to cry ... Her anger needed an outlet. And Ambar Sharma provides the perfect one ... she always fights with him ... he can take it ... he won't wonder why she is fighting ... because that's what they always do.
Ambar doesn't want to see her face. He knows she is also hurt ... but he is too hurt ... every time he sees her face, it reminds him that he has lost Baawra Mann.
I really don't understand the tenant - landlord relationship though ... Guneet and her mother take Ambar too much for granted. A tenant making free use of the landlord's kitchen, the supplies ... and now demanding the space downstairs for the roka?
Ambar was right - their lease is for upstairs, not for the whole house. Makes for better drama ... but the writers have been very good in most things ... this is poor writing.
