What matters when in tatters!
That was what the episode was about. Everyone brought out his or her heart on his/her sleeve. They opened their innermost thoughts to us. Insecurities and Wishful thinkings. People are making journeys, striving to put an end to something, be it driving, travelling or doing household chores.
Tatter 1 Aliya - She is officially insane. Wanting to get her gun and shoot Pragya straight in her face, a face with which Purab fell in love, wants to aim at her heart so that there is no heart left for Pragya to love Purab! Wow!! Hatred and Insanity unleashed. She wants to kill Pragya now and later make Purab pay for what he did to her!
Tatter 2 Tanu - She is the new Medusa, Suddenly she has grown snakes in her head and is plotting heavily for her own benefit, she just wants to have Pragya kicked out of Abhi's life so that she gets married to Abhi.
Tatter 3 Purab - He is clearheaded but tad too late. Marriage is not what you should have on your mind right now. Yet, he is the one, who is most clearheaded now. He is the one who wants to get married to Bulbul and end the farce right now. How beautiful. And yet, he is the one who is going to get brickbats for speaking sanity. And dramatic farce of pain and misunderstanding would be dragged in self-centered emotions of rest of the people by refusing to do what he thinks shouid be done. In the end game, Purab is clearheaded but tad too bold and clear and unfit for the universe he is residing in. He tends to lose big, now that there is a queue of antagonists rallying behind him in the form of Aliya, Sarla and Daadi.
Tatter 4 Bulbul - Officially she is lost in the ghetto of her sister now. All that is preoccupying her mind is her sister's marriage. Though her heart is chained to Purab, and the man keeps coming to her to take her away from the ghetto, she cannot due to chained consequences...oh! the pressures of being an Arora sister and daughter!!!
Tatter 5 Sarla -Never had any problem with her excited emotions. But today, seeing what has she reduced Pragya too, a wimper and that too selfish beyond forgiveness, I cannot forgive Sarla. Add to it, how even Bulbul is forced to think about her, makes me feel sad. This woman is making both of her daughters suffer. And that is not enough, she keeps calling, checking. How is even Pragya coping with her emotional toil to pull back herself into pretending and lying for her mother's sake. Yesterday EP; Sarla called Abhi's grandmother, in today's EP; in continuation, she is calling her daughter. Now she even wants to talk to her Son-in-law. One day this woman, when she gets to know the truth about her daughter's marriage, she is not going to see how many deaths her daughters, Abhi had to go through to keep up the lying pretences, to keep her happy; but she is going to find fault with everyone and curse or slap every one...probably Abhi the most, who by that time must have put her in deepest debt that she can ever pay off !!!
A dramatic climax through Sarla's tension, has come to a point, where audience repels and rebounds her tension through wishing something really bad happening to end the trauma she is inflicting on her daughters; especially Pragya. And Sarla can only say, "I am tad too concerned like Beeji says! "
Tatter 6 Daadi - She absolutely loves her kids, but clearly she trusts Abhi in a very heartfelt manner, as if he is only her true family. So even if she has chosen a good girl for her kid Abhi, she is reposing faith in her grandson that he will take care of that girl. The point is not that she thinks good and means well. The point is not that Abhi notices all these things about his grandmother. Point is, today, in one of the tattered condition, we have seen the thread that holds the grandmother and grandson. They might not share everything with each other or the grandson may not speak truth with his grandmother, point is the thread that holds these two. They remain connected through heart. Period. And no one can challenge that. No one can also come between them.
A developing tatter condition. Not far into the future, Aliya and Tanu are going to target Daadi where this time, her faith about Pragya is actually going to be shaken. Pretty bad for her! The repeated saying of hers, my heart says, there is no wrong done by Pragya, may not stand the test of time. Her wishful thinking, if Abhi and Pragya can somehow take care of each other and this family!
Tatter 7 Pragya - She started quite courageously to fetch back Purab, as she wants her name cleared. She can't forget Aliya's accusation, Abhi's lifting his hand to slap her in frustrated anger and his self-restraint in not hitting her, the brother and sisters's pain and accusation keeps coming back to her and she wishes all that to get back to normalcy as definitely then things would not explode on her pretentious world. Yet, she knows, her mother is going to end up knowing about all this one day. That reality cannot be put off further. Yet, yet; in that long drive to Lover's point to fetch Purab, to make everything right, all that she ends up seeing in flashback review is her short stint of marriage with Abhi and what it is like. Rollercoaster ride, what can she make of it. Filled with tease, having to see that he loves someone else and yet, his proximity and touch, intended or unintended; had indeed touched her, over and above the fact that, he does not care for her, though he does respect her mother which is certainly lesser to what he feels for his grandmother. She does feel something for her husband of hers. Wishful thinking, if she could have had the right to enjoy those situations.
Tatter 8 Abhi - Conflicted to the core. Its not Aliya, Tanu or Daadi induced. This time, he is conflicted about what he feels and what he is led to see and understand. All those flashbacks of his interaction with Pragya post marriage; how shy she is, how unassuming she is ! Nothing about Pragya that he has felt, is akin to her being a scheming woman as he has been led to believe by Aliya. There is sincerity and innocence in her eyes. And why does his heart always go back to remember that situation where the "Girl in White Dress", who he got to see across the road helping the two kids, who was so kind hearted, a soul whom he would have liked to bond with, but disappeared before he could even see or meet her. How he had compared then; between that "girl in white" who gave him immense pleasure, taking him out of the pain induced by thinking about Pragya and gold-digging stories about her he had to hear. And today, his mind again takes him back to same memory. He is in deep agony and he remembers that "Girl in White", helping the kids, spreading her angelic care around her. Wishful thinking, Pragya can never be that "Girl in White", even if he sees conflicting evidences about who could be the real Pragya. Peace is what is missing with the woman who is at his disposal.
=================================
Who is not in tatters? Its Pammy and Raj. Though it mattered to both of them that Aliya accused Pragya about having something to do with Purab's disappearance. Raj remains conflicted and disinterested as ever like he was with Pragya thinking she was his children's kidnapper. And Pammy, she thinks Pragya has definitely a hand in having Purab flee from the marriage.
A scene that speaks of Aliya's accusation ringing loudly over Mehra Household that Pragya is responsible for Purab's fleeing.
