Misti, finally came home and was able to watch today's episode. I have only skimmed last week's episodes, but I liked today's episode. Barkha, Maheswari and Radhika were very consistent in their characterizations.
I also read your commentary from yesterday and it was really very funny. Like your detail update too. So all your predictions came true. Barkha was as psychotic as predicted before where she was shown to lose control when things didn't go her way. Liked her scene with Maheswari as Pragati was really good in her taunts. So Maheswari as usual turned out to be Dev's fairy god mother saving his virtue from Barkha. Well, I say virtue because of the way Bholu was acting. His hesitation and trepedition when Barkha wanted him to put balm on her was really funny. So were his relieved expressions to see Radhika at the door. Poor Bholu: What would he do when he finds out that Barkha is after him and she is one psychotic person? Right now he thinks of Barkha as his and Radhika's wellwisher and still he had so many issues touching her forehead. I think he wouldn't let Radhika out of fear that Barkha can attack him any minute. Not that Radhika is going to leave him alone anymore with Barkha. But why was his scene with Radhika cut so abruptly?
Anyway, I liked the episode because Barkha's behavior was consistent with what they have shown in last two months (since the July ME) and her overconfident arrogant attitude with Maheswari (dismissing her) was similar to how she acted with Rohan. That time too her attitude led Rohan to Dev and Radhika. Maheswari was consistent because she is now back to her normal behavior and away from the clownish behavior they were showing from her.
But the episode belonged to Rubina who was excellent as a broken hearted person who was betrayed so badly by someone whom she trusted so much. Her devastation was also because this proved that her decision to bring Barkha as RPtain was wrong. I hope they show these monologues on her part where she realizes that Dada was wrong and so was she when she got brainwashed and went on the wrong path to fulfill a promise that was extracted from her. She could have fulfilled that promise by choosing the wrong path. Anyway, I liked Rubina's expressions as she first was devastated, then was in disbelief and tried to blame BB instead and finally couldn't deny the truth any longer as she linked all the events together. It was like there was "innocence lost" and she showed that hurt very well.
Even though Barkha's actions from last several episodes proved that she was an obsessive person with her own agenda, I do want to see the flashbacks (maybe when they show a confrontation between her and Radhika) where the backstory of her obsession with Dev could be shown. Also, I hope they show an intelligent Radhika who decides to keep quiet for the time being and defeat Barkha at her own game. It is more than likely that Radhika is going to keep quiet in the short run as she wouldn't want Dev to throw out Barkha and jeopardize his RP title. Also there are property issues too now.
