Bepannah ~ My Thoughts~ ep 29~26.4.18.. Sense minus sensibility!
One may have common sense, but may lack receptivity of delicate yet grave issue. The feud between Adi and Zoya is far from over. Both react, disagree, and the episode , not long ago an exclusive birthday party opens into some kind of a court scene. Defence and prosecution battle it out. It's clear by the responses, there are two aggrieved parties. Adi prosecutes his case, Zoya has exposed his private life and made it public. Thus he hurls fierce accusations at Zoya. She is party to this name and shame Aditya conspiracy packed in his birthday party. Zoya in her defence, decides not take it lying down. She clearly sets out to prove, Aditya has taken leave of his senses! He is unreasonable. Is swept away by the swift fast moving current of his revenge , that not only drowns him, but others related to him as well! The episode appears to be Aditya's justified registered complaint against Zoya's deliberate measures to cause him emotional torture where it hurts him most.. in his reliance upon Pooja's love! Its like two warriors battle it out over two differing stances of love. Both wear their own branded vizors of blind faith in loyalty in love, and betrayal in love.
But the truth of the matter is both seem to have taken leave off their senses! In their own place, they both suffer. Despite similarities between them, dissension divides them over a key issue. Adi believes Pooja is a cheater and none can deny this, least of all Aditya. Contrary to this Zoya believes Yash was not a cheat but died very much in love with her. Deep down, both Aditya and Zoya suffer from a blow to their respective egos. That their spouse after all these years, of being their life partners, replaced them for another man or woman ,in a place that rightfully belonged to them.
Just like in the court room, arguments between the two gets evidence based. Zoya shows Aditya, the contract which Pooja booked to celebrate his birthday. Yes.. the conspiracy if there was one, was pre-planned by Pooja not her! he spurns the evidence, Pooja did so to cover her guilt of cheating on him! Zoya's positive efforts are met with his negative reactions! But Adi cannot be blamed as his emotional damage is vast! So whatever effort Zoya makes to show Adi the truth that Yash and Pooja were not lovers but just friends, make no sense to him! In fact he proves Zoya to be the one without an an ounce of sense! But Adi was in no way going to be lulled into this false sense of security ,that Pooja loved him!
He quotes instances, where Pooja gave him wrong information about her work related tours! Groceries shop with her lover, even suggests Yash ,Pooja's live in relationship. His wife was playing wife to another man! It becomes clear to all Adi is a man caught up in a never ending mill of going round and round in the circle of being betrayed!
Still Zoya invariably tries to knock sense in him by her repeated chants of but Pooja loved him!
The party cum a court scene, also becomes a place where Hooda's dirty linen is washed in public! Harsh brings it upon himself by putting his tormented son Aditya down! chastises Adi ,he needs to hold his wild horses!in the name of familial respectability.
In response Aditya refers to Harshs affair! when he abandoned his wife and boys for another woman! Takes one cheat to recognise another! Harsh reacts by landing a resounding slap on Aditya's face! It becomes evident that Aditya touched Harsh Hooda's raw nerve!
The end of this party turned courtroom drama, reaches finale with Zoya' water works... she still hangs on to her faith, that Yash was not a cheater.. as he loved her!
Zoya appears to have problems facing reality , that Aditya forces her to accept, both their life partners were low level cheaters! who led parallel lives with their lovers, right under their noses! Aditya comes to his senses. But Zoya continues to believe, its Aditya out of his senses possessed with revenge... the birthday party would make him see sense..
In fact I find Aditya has a more realistic, mindset than Zoya. Suddenly it appears that his forceful outrage is more about intimidating Zoya to face facts that whether she likes it or not! their life partners were both double crossing them! But its Zoya refutes his reactions!
Its heart breaking when he snarls at Zoya but warns the world around him also to back off! As the sense of being betrayal stops him from living! and hatred for Pooja stops him from dying.. why should he give her the pleasure of becoming the living dead! He will do away with her memories and pick up his life and live!!
In fact his confession that he to has the right to be loved faithfully to happiness! .. shows Adi's positivity he actually picks up from Zoya, to do away with paying for another's follies!'
When studied closely, can it be said, under the mask of his outward fury Adi really appeals to Zoya, face reality no point in crying over a man who was a cheater! In a veiled manner, does Adi conveys to her.. they can both pick up the pieces of their shattered lives and begin to live??? But Zoya drowns in her tears.. she cannot see or perceive clearly. She is sore, her sincere efforts are cruelly misinterpreted by Aditya Hooda! Selfish brute!!
Another issue apart from both Adi and Zoya's arguments that stand out is, Aditya hatred not just for Pooja, but two other women in his current life! Namely Zoya and his mother Anjana! In both women he hates their trait of emotionally accommodating their husband's who cheated them. Anjana accepts Adi's cheating father after he abandoned them ,without a single complain or question, and life continues normally as if nothing untoward ever happened in her life. Adi calls her spineless ,one who lets his father Harsh get away with anything!
Zoya, he sees has a similar issue, she saw proof of Yash holding Pooja's hand yet she is delusionary that her cheater husband Yash always loved her. What infuriates Adi is, Zoya dismisses all the malicious speculations about Yash and continues to hold on tightly to her cheater husband's memory! These two women's mindset of upholding on to their fraud husband's blows Pooja case well out of proportion for Aditya!
It's time to get fairness back in this game between him and Zoya. It's time to retaliate in kind ,the sense of shame he was given! Back to Zoya. To surround Zoya by force from all angles in a room which compels her to see the dirty truth about her husband's affair with his wife! Its Adi's final, crude, desperate appeal to Zoya to face the ugly truth! Live in the real world!
To enclose Zoya in this room is not only about a tit for tat measure on Adi's part, to get even! But its to do with the fact of showing Zoya, they are even! They both go through the same procedure of pain and loss of comfort! He is no foe to her.. but one who reaches out to her in his pain, in the hope that she can relate to his loss. This seemingly shock treatment on the outset of getting back at her, is really to set Zoya free from the illusion she continues to live in.. that Yash loved her! Adi has come to his senses, now he wants Zoya to come to her senses, by hook or crook! Some how his sixth sense tells Aditya , Zoya will eventually end up mixing both sense and sensibility and get to where he stands.. alone for the moment... hamlet53 27.4.18
Fantastic episode about human emotions and reactions. How conflicting emotions like, love and hate ,revenge and forgiveness, betrayal and loyalty feature strongly in most human beings.
