So, Zara, who has no choice in the matter, has to bring Indira back home. In a way, I like it that they did not make it a thing of sacrifice just yet. We all know that she is going to take care of Indira and this is only the build up to that. In this build up, they are going to make Zara as heartless and selfish as they possibly can.
She has already started being protective of Indira. Going by her threatening to beat up the good-for-nothings who were staring at her in the police station to scolding the policewoman who threatened Indira with a stick to apologizing for handcuffing her, Zara has already traversed a great distance in a matter of minutes.
I only fail to realize when and how the change happened. Just a few minutes ago, she was doing her best to get rid of Indira. So, wasn't this too sudden? The only explanation I have is that her better self surfaced already -- the better self that Rishi tried appealing to when he asked her to leave Indira at the mental hospital.
But anyway, Zara brings Indira to the police station because she cannot go and drop Indira back home and she does not have access to a phone to call someone from the house to pick Indira up.
So she takes her to an encounter site (I found this utterly ridiculous!) where she has to intercept a truck carrying illegal weapons. And of course, her reputation has to precede her. What has she earned it for? Precisely because "pachas pachas kos door gaon mein jab koi chori hoti hai to ek daku dusre se kehta hai beta mat kar...chori mat kar nahi to Zara Khan aa jaayegi."
So, true to HD form, A very un-goon like guy is expressing how scared he is at having to face her. After all, she has won an award in Mumbai for something. (Must mention here...Zara's trouser pocket is like a magician's hat. Don't get me wrong. She didn't pull out rabbits, but kabhi mangalsutra, kabhi chocolate.)
The Rishi-Indu scene was really nice. For the first ever time, I must admit, I really liked Indu. Rishi tries pushing her away, but she surprises him (and shocks me!!) by pulling his face down and kissing him on the forehead. Really sweet. I didn't listen to her dialogues for fear that they would be irritating. Rishi, in return, confesses that he has made a mistake. What he is referring to is unclear. In my opinion, he is perhaps referring to the haste with which he married again.
Too much conflict in today's episode. Rishi's inner turmoil and conflict with himself. That much needed scream helped a little bit in the venting. But he still has some large issues to face and resolve. And, instead of allowing others to make these decisions for him, he needs to stand up for himself and what he thinks is right, and do ONLY that. You cannot be everything to everyone all the time.
Then there is Zara's inner turmoil and conflict with herself. It would be easy to call her selfish. But her only support system is Rishi. What can she do? Right now, the mere presence of Indira makes her livid and clouds her judgment. Rishi has been telling her that he loves her, but she feels that she cannot call herself "Zara Rishi Kumar" yet. She needs Indira out of her sight to be able to see anything in perspective.
Zara's conflict with Indira, too, is interesting. She talks to her like she would talk to an adult, therefore, expecting her to understand every instruction and scolding that she fires at her. And at the same time, she does understand that she is only a child and needs coaxing. Hence the chocolate in the pocket. This is an extension of Zara's inner conflict, where had Rishi not been in the middle, she would have taken a neutral view of Indira.
Going by the precap, it is evident that a threat to Indira's life is what will make Zara accept and acknowledge that Indira is irreplaceable in Rishi's world. I only wish it had not been so filmy. Some moments between the two today somehow made me hope that the writers would throw Zara and Indira together in situations where Zara would know Indira for the person/child she is. And Indira would respond to her just as much as she would to Rishi.
Hoping for the best.
