Namaste!This week was one of tussle and struggle. Just one full day for Purva in the Tripathi household and it has already become Kurukshetra.
Ramesh wants Purva to make breakfast for everyone but denies her the right to be the bahu of the house when Vedant asks him for it.
Ramesh is a proper psycho. He is a power hungry and selfish man with no redeeming qualities (so far). As he says, he has no identity of his own- he has transitioned from being Gangadhar Tripathi's son to being known as Dr. Vedant Tripathi's father. He feels he has not got his due in life and wants to have it- by hook or by crook.
The situation in the Tripathi household is dire- Ramesh gets his kicks by bullying and berating those he has some power over- like Vedant and his wife, Manjula. Can you believe he hits Manjula and thinks it is totally okay to do so? 🤢🤢 Yuck. Manjula herself seems to have battered woman syndrome- she tries to defuse the landmine that is her husband by avoiding difficult situations. Thankfully, she is one of the few good people in that house and definitely loves Vedant.
Coming to the Purva vs Ramesh situation, what do you think Purva should have done? IMO, you can't avoid bullies like Ramesh all the time. They use the fact that people want to defuse unpleasant situations they create as their bargaining chip.
I feel for poor Vedant. He really is an angel to tolerate Ramesh 🤬. I had initially thought Gomti aka Vedant's bua was a good character, but turns out bhai-behen are twins when it comes to being evil. She has it out for Purva and will trouble her in the future.
Regarding PurvAnt, I am honestly a bit flummoxed by Vedant falling in love with Purva so soon. While I do like their jodi, Vedant falling in love with Purva seemed a little rushed to me. They could have shown growing attraction and affection instead at this stage of the story.
The execution of this Kitchen & Keys storyline has also been a bit weird. Or maybe I feel so because I have never seen this kind of execution on ITV before. I don't understand why it was stretched to over 4 episodes without any development. 😕
What do you think?
