Vidya refuses to leave Gaurav

On yesterday's episode, Vidya's parents told Gaurav that they had decided to take her home with them when she got out of the hospital, and that she would now never return to her in-laws.Gaurav was shocked but couldn't say no to them as he feels that he can never make Vidya happy.

However, today when Vidya found out her parents' decision, she refused to go back with them. She asked them why no one has ever asked her what she wanted or considered her feelings. When she begged to be allowed to stay in her father's house, he forcibly pushed her out of the door and told her that a woman's place is in her husband's home. Now that she wants to stay with her husband, her parents have decided to take her home. She said "Aren't I a human being? I am not a piece of luggage to be moved from here to there."

Vindhya's acting was very powerful today. She could barely breathe and get the words out, but she had to have her say and passionately declare that she would remain with her husband. I loved the way Gaurav looked at her when he told her that whatever she wanted would happen. Vidya loves Gaurav so much despite the fact that he has caused her so much pain. And Gaurav, despite being gay and unable to love Vidya the way a husband should love his wife, truly does care about her and feels incredibly guilty about the pain that he has caused her. He was willing to let her go, because he knew how unhappy she was, despite the fact that if his marriage breaks down than questions about his sexuality will come up again. I'm excited to see where this track goes from here.
