So much for hopes of a quick burial – if the grapevine is to be believed then the saga is going to go on for another ten episodes. Keeping that in mind,
Statutory Warning: If at any point your head hurts and you attempt to make sense of these twisted situations, please seize and desist to avoid brain damage. I know I will.
Sidestepping all logic and a basic lesson in birds and the bees, we now have a case of Immaculate Conception with Seherish showing phantom traits of a pregnant wife. Must she stoop so low to fight for her non deserving husband? The in-fighting now has well defined corners.
So note to Sania : not so much war zone love, more like WWF wrestling zone no? Get ready for Shukk Smackdown. Are you ready to ruuuummmmblllle?
In the right hand corner with a suitcase full of gifts and tricks up their sleeves are Seherish and clearly her khushdaman. Annnnd in the left hand corner with long suffering expressions and chronic abuser of the word ‘normal’ are Sania and ‘Sham. This husband wrestling match shall be refereed by Rumi.
Maybe we should start a fund for group therapy they could get a pretty good discount at the rate they are going….
With saas taking up the cudgels on Seherish’s behalf, so much for any hope of the buzurgh bringing any reason and resolution to this farce. I guess all dramaebaaz saas’s get a primer on scheming which they whip out when the situation calls for it or not. So along with subliminal messaging to Rumi about kangaroos and koalas, she’s making it pretty clear with her presents and (debatable) presence of mind who the preferred bahu is.
I haven’t seen Shamim Hilali in this avatar before and clearly she is enjoying herself and honestly I love to watch her so will gloss over her misguided method in this madness. See statutory warning above.
Who says married couples don’t begin to resemble one another? Sania has passed on her helpless, fragile mannerisms to ‘Sham. Her response to leave the house is met with Nahiiinnn! How can I live in a two bedroom house! The horror! Sham is now in the running for delicate daisy of the year. Quick! Someone give him a fainting couch and smelling salts! The poor lad the things he has to suffer.
Well despite his brains being in long term hibernation at least he is the only person here who knows a little about the birds and the bees. The rest are too busy casting suspicious glances, creating elaborate stories, pouting and ignoring their dinner. They are taking their theme a litttlllee too seriously.
So the point of the story is now that everyone is caught in a web of deception and lies and this family is doomed to their Shukki tendencies. I’ll end with a plea made by our feeble heroine, sorry hero:
“Please ye drama bandh karo aur normal ho jao”
