Ek Mahanayak – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar 16th March 2020 Written Episode
Bhimbai decides against telling anyone anything right now. Ram ji asks her what she is looking at. She does not reply. He again asks her what she is thinking. She smiles. I was thinking how you take care of all of us. You are willing to go to any length for us including your daily tea outside so you could save some money. Ram ji realises she has overheard him. Bhimbai nods. I am your wife. He says even I am someone’s husband, father, brother. I too have some responsibility. Tea is nothing. I can even sacrifice my life for my family! Leave all this. Serve me hot food. I am very hungry. He goes to wash his hands. Bhimbai thinks even I am someone’s wife and mother. I can bear my illness for a few days for all of you.
Dhruv wakes up startled. Sakpal brothers rush to him. Dhruv asks them how he came here. Bheema relates everything to him. You haven’t eaten anything since 2 days? Dhruv lies but Bheema knows he is lying. Tell me why you dint eat anything since 2 days. Dhruv shares that a woman used to come home to cook for him since Aayi died. She stopped coming since Baba went to jail. Neighbours gave food in the beginning but they stopped since I started hanging out with you. I don’t even know how to cook. Bheema says Baba says some things shouldn’t be hidden or it becomes serious in future. Bala adds that one must tell their problems to their loved ones. They help you in your time of need. We are your own right? Dhruv nods. I made a mistake. Let’s go and eat something. Vaid ji asks them if they are Bhimbai’s kids. They all look at her in surprise / confusion.
Bhimbai tells her husband about Bheema’s new surname. Ram ji says I know he must have thought this will ease situations a little for Bheema. Bhimbai says this makes me realise that there are some good people in the world. Bheema will be successful because of them! Bheema refuses to be successful or do anything in life. Ram ji asks him why he is saying this. Bheema tells him to ask Aayi. Bhimbai asks Bheema who calls her a liar. She neither loves us nor cares for us. Bhimbai is taken aback. Meera asks Bheema what has happened. Bala says even you hid it from us. You went to Vaid ji with Aayi! Bhimbai rushes inside. All 3 boys follow her. Bala speaks about her medical condition. Ram ji and Meera are stunned. Ram ji confronts Bhimbai. She still tries to decline but Bheema says it is the same Vaid ji. Anand says she has checked you. Bheema asks his Aayi if she wants to lie again. Should I call vaid ji here? Anand tells his Baba Aayi isn’t well. She must go to Bombay for treatment. Ram ji looks at his wife and then at his sister. Why dint you tell me, Bhimbai? Bala is crying in a corner. Bhimbai says I wanted to but we don’t have much money. Ram ji says I will earn it somehow but what if something happens to you. You think you are the smartest! Bheema advises him not to scold Aayi. She isn’t well already. It might increase her headache. He turns to his Aayi. Now talk to me only when you recover fully.
Meera is crying as well. You dint do the right thing. You are like my younger sister yet you chose not to share it with me. Bhimbai hugs her and cries. It isn’t so! I couldn’t think of anything. For a second I thought I have lost everything. The thought of going away from you all was a heartbreaking one. What could I do? Ram ji tells her he wont let her go.
Ram ji tells Puranjan they must take Bhimbai to Bombay asap. Meera advises him to go tomorrow. We will arrange money somehow. Puranjan seconds her. Ram ji rues that everything has gone wrong at once. Puranjan assures him everything will be fine. Bala has overheard everything and looks very shaken.
At night, Bheema is sitting outside quietly when Bhimbai walks up to him. Please forgive me, Bheema. I agree I should have shared it. Wont you talk to me? Bheema shakes his head. we wouldn’t have found out about your health if we hadn’t taken Dhruv to Vaid ji! She says I would have told you at the right time. He says you were wrong. I feel bad when the entire world addresses me as someone from a lower community but I get relieved thinking that all my pain will go away when I will sit in my mother’s lap. You are the solution to all my problems. You take care of me when I get dejected. How can you be so careless? She requests him to forgive her. Everything will be fine. Come, sit in my lap. You will feel a little better. She ends up pulling him for a hug and cries. Please forgive me. Bala is thinking of Puranjan’s words.
Meera gives lunch to Bhimbai. Eat on your way. We have never thought ill of anyone. You will be fine soon. Bala tells his Baba he wont go to school from today. I swore on you that I will study but I wont do that anymore. The situation isn’t such that we all can study. I want to help you financially. Ram ji says we will discuss this later. Bala says I love Aayi very much. She needs money for treatment. Please free me from this vow. Ram ji says I am here to earn. Why do you want to earn? Bala reasons that a lot needs to be done. Let me help you. Ram ji tells him he cannot do it. Go to study if you respect my words. Meera asks her brother to come. You are getting late. Ram ji agrees. He tells Bala everything will be fine and leaves.
Meera calls out to Anand and Bheema. They rush to their Bua. Bhimbai tells the kids to take care. Bala hugs her tight. She assures him that she will be fine and wipes his tears. I will be back soon. Meera tells Bala to let Bhabhi go. Ram ji and Bhimbai leave. Meera tells Manjula to give Bala his bag. Bheema asks Anand about his geography book. Manjula gives Bala his bag which he accepts absentmindedly.
Precap: Bala leaves a note for Bheema with Dhruv. Bheema tells his Bua that Bala has left home. Villagers try to do purification of Sakpal house by demolishing one part of their house. Bheema lies down in front of that part and his siblings follow suit. Bheema tells the villagers to first kill them before taking any step further.
