The episode begins with a concerned Jagriti asking another woman why Suraj left the room in such an irritable mood. Before she can get a proper answer, the scene shifts to the main hall where Akash is talking to an older woman. He sarcastically remarks that Suraj must have drunk an entire bottle of alcohol in celebration of Akash being named the heir. Jagriti overhears this and her expression fills with worry.
The scene then delves into Akash’s dark thoughts. In an internal monologue, he reveals his sinister plan. He gloats about how he cleverly manipulated Suraj with his words, making himself look like a good person in Suraj’s eyes. He successfully secured their father’s position and inheritance. But his plan doesn’t end there. Akash vows to slowly and slyly trick Jagriti, whom he calls ‘Jaggu’, and snatch her away from Suraj as well. His face hardens, revealing his true villainous nature as he plots to take everything from his brother.
Later, we see a drunk and distraught Suraj stumbling into his bedroom. He leans against a wardrobe, talking to himself and replaying the day’s events. He recalls the moment he stood before everyone, including Jagriti, and made a grand announcement. He remembers declaring that he, Suraj Thakur, was officially making his brother, Akash Thakur, the successor to their father’s legacy.
Suraj is completely bewildered and heartbroken by Jagriti’s reaction, or rather, her lack of one. He can’t understand why she was completely unfazed by his massive decision. He rants to himself that his wife should have cared that he was giving up all the money, power, and position. He thought she would have some reaction, but her indifference has deeply hurt him. He clutches his chest, saying her lack of concern hit him hard. Feeling helpless and confused, he resigns himself to the fact that there’s nothing he can do about it.
Review
This episode was a masterclass in building tension and revealing character depth. The stark contrast between the two brothers, Akash and Suraj, formed the core of the drama. Akash’s character took a sharp villainous turn, and his internal monologue was chillingly effective, laying out his devious plans with cold calculation. The actor portrayed this hidden malice perfectly.
On the other hand, Suraj’s vulnerability was heart-wrenching. His drunken monologue was not just about his confusion but also revealed his deep-seated desire for Jagriti’s validation. His pain felt genuine, making the audience sympathize with his plight. The episode brilliantly sets up a complex love triangle and a fierce power struggle, leaving viewers anxious to see how Akash’s sinister plot will unfold and whether Suraj and Jagriti’s relationship can withstand his manipulations.
