Hi Kavi
Needless to say amazing writing. Just my random thoughts on this.. I loved the word you used to describe Seema.. I have been trying to pinpoint that word and you have nailed it when you say delusional enchantment. I cannot use a better word to describe her current state of mind!
I am no fan of Seema, especially her attitude where she feels she can get back Dutta in her life after having put him through so much in life and how she can even think she will be the ideal partner to Dutta? But the only benefit of doubt I give her is her not knowing Dutta is a married man. She is not aware of this truth which will completely shake her and break her, so I can sort of understand her delusional thoughts, though in no way do I support it!
Yes, it has been extremely rewarding to see Dutta realise his follies on his own this time and not needing any 'outsider's' help. Also I find him very mellowed down during this track which goes to show the lengths to which Naku has transformed him with her love. The old Dutta would have finished off Seema and her chacha in a blink without ever giving her a moment to speak. I am loving this new patient, thinking, loving Dutta and he will surely be the perfect husband to Naku in every way she has ever dreamed.
I loved this quote The supreme happiness in life is the assurance of being loved; of being loved for oneself, even in spite of oneself;.. it is a gem..
Coming to yesterday's episode, I read the reviews fisrt and was a bit sceptical. But to me, it was an ok episode. It did not feel weird to have Nakku wear D's coat.. for me it was like she was trying to gather strength from his love by wearing his clothes to feel close to him..and she did not try to be a don's wife, she tried to soothe and calm the people..
And what can I say about MR.. he is Dutta in every way possible for me. The man lives that role and emotes so well that it touches my soul. He uplifts every scene with his mere presence and strong screen presence. I have been spoiled by his perfect portrayal of Dutta that I don't think I would be able to enjoy or admire another TV character anytime soon! he has turned me into an addict for sure of Dutta and his 1001 expressions and nuances he brings on screen.. sigh

Dear Aneesa,๐
Do not worry about the dissidence. ๐This is what the forum is all about. Apart from @droopy-asleep who chose to adopt a neutral stance, there seems to have been a general consensus that it is next to impossible for Dutta to forgive Seema. I do empathise with all those who believe that forgiveness is necessary if we are to put the past behind us and move on as it is the fair and compassionate thing to do, since we have all sinned and we have all hurt others. This is treacherous ground as forgiveness is not always possible, especially so, when we have not been given permission or the choice not to forgive.
Some psychotherapists even moot that forgiveness is not necessary for healing, and in some cases it may not be the healthiest thing to do. This is especially true when forgiving is tantamount to giving permission to hurt you again. Sometimes one does need to hold onto the very thing that prevents one from forgiving in order to cope and survive, i.e. anger as it can be a powerful motivator for those who have been victimised. Dutta's anger goes deep down the years during which he forfeited his dreams for a quiet, peaceful and loving life because of a woman's greed and avarice and embraced a life of crime. It is this very hatred that allowed Dutta to fight his way back from this most devastating trauma/anger which helped him face the pain. Hopefully, there will come a time when he will no longer need this anger of feeling of hatred and when this happens, he will be able to look at forgiveness as a viable option.
The most important question that we should ask ourselves is whether Seema will come to some form of self-realisation and openly admit that what she did was wrong and that she does not desire anything but forgiveness and go away for good. The indications in the last episodes, on the contrary, showed us a woman wanting to hold on to Dutta with the hope of winning his love back. And, this is not acceptable when she did not even show any interest and ask the latter as to what became of him over the years and whether he is still free.
Luv,
Kavita๐ณ
