Gaurav reveals his homosexuality to Vidya's parents

Tonight's episode was another milestone in the plot of "Maryada": Vidya's parents finally got to know that Gaurav is gay.

Adi, Priya and Gaurav rush back to the village in order to stop the tantric ritual that Vidya's parents are doing to help her become a mother. They reach there just as Vidya is about to walk barefoot on burning coals. Adi pulls her out of the way and everyone is angry with him for disturbing the ritual. Adi yells at them that what they are doing is wrong. Vidya's father says that they are doing it to wipe off Vidya's past sins so she can become pregnant and the Jhakkar family won't send her home permanently. Adi has had enough and demands that Gaurav tell the truth. Gaurav reveals that there's nothing wrong with Vidya and he can't give her a baby because he's gay. Vidya's father doesn't understand what this means. He asks "What kind of illness is this?" (When Gaurav's truth was first revealed to Vidya she also didn't understand what homosexuality was). Vidya's mother takes her husband away to explain to him.

Priya sympathizes with Gaurav and tells him that she doesn't believe he's a bad person. She understands the pressure on him, first for a marriage and then for a baby. She now understands why he was trying to get Vidya and Cheenu together.

Vidya's father comes back and slaps Gaurav, telling that he ruined Vidya's life to hide his own truth. Vidya defends Gaurav, telling her father that he is her husband and this is their internal matter. Her dad is shocked that even after all that has happened, Vidya is defending Gaurav. She is about to say something when she falls to the ground unconscious. Everyone rushes to take her to a doctor.

This was a very interesting episode. Vidya's father's reaction was perfectly natural and Gaurav deserved that slap. True to form, Vidya continued to defend her husband. It will be interesting to see whether they stay married or finally get divorced.
