Ek Mahanayak – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar 18th February 2021 Written Episode
Bhima tells his Baba this isn’t a favour. You only taught us that family is very important. One must protect the family members always. I just did that. Ram ji hugs him. He turns to Jijabai next. I don’t want to make you feel small by thanking you. Jijabai gives credit to Bhima for finding out Champa’s truth. I brought her boss here. Ram ji says you still helped us. I will never forget it. Meera tells him not to forget it. Marry Jijabai. She will support you forever. Puranjan seconds her. She is the same woman I spoke about. She understood you and got you out of the problem. Do it. Meera tells her brother to marry again. You had agreed for second marriage anyways. Everyone present there requests Ram ji to marry Jijabai. Ram ji’s boss apologizes to Ram ji. Let’s do it here only. Jijabai’s SIL says the wedding will happen from my house. She will come to Ram ji’s house from there. Puranjan agrees. Bhima thinks of his mother. He looks at Ram ji and Jijabai and then walks away. Meera reasons that Bhima is a kid. Elders have to decide what’s right, even if that does not make the kids happy. He might begin to find sense in it in future. Let’s go now.
Puranjan gives a kurta to Ram ji. You have to shave your beard as well. Ram ji is reluctant but Puranjan tells him to get ready for Jijabai. She should feel like you have come to take her home.
Jijabai’s SIL helps Jijabai get ready. Ram ji comes dressed as the groom. His family and well wishers are next to him. Bhima is still missing. All the rituals are being followed.
Bhima is walking.
Meera does Ram ji and Jijabai’s gathbandhan. Bhimbai appears there. Ram ji is stunned to see her. She smiles through her tears and goes. Ram ji looks around but does not see her anymore. He recalls her last words.
Bhima finds his mother sitting under a tree and crying. You only asked Baba to marry again while dying. It’s happening now! He wipes her tears and sits next to her. You were teaching me about personal choice and stuff. Why are you crying now? What will I do if I will see you crying? Bhimbai cries harder and hugs her son. Bhima cries his heart out.
Maharaj is pacing in the corridor. Dhansukhlal says we plot so many things but that kid wins always. Mangesh seconds him. I have begun to think that he is blessed in some way. Maharaj slaps him. God can never bless someone from that community. Don’t talk such rubbish again. Mangesh apologizes to him. Maharaj tells everyone to calm down. Mother and step mother are different. We have to get Bhima’s life around that cycle. Champa couldn’t become Ram ji’s second wife but Jijabai can surely become Champa. He laughs.
Meera and Puranjan suggest going home but Ram ji refuses to go home without Bhima. Jijabai offers to come along. Sakpal family finds Bhima sitting under the tree. Ram ji asks Bhima to come home. Bhima denies. I will come in some time. Ram ji refuses to go home without him but Bhima asks him to leave him alone. Jijabai caresses his head. We haven’t come here to leave you here alone, Bhiva. Bhima tells her not to call him that. It was only my Aayi who could call me that. I don’t want to go home. He leaves. Jijabai agrees not to call him Bhiva again. You are still our son, right? We cannot leave you alone because of that. Ram ji says everyone is worried and they are right. Let’s go home. Bhima asks him if he can speak to him in private. Ram ji goes to him. Bhima takes him to a corner.
Bhima tells his Baba that he married Jijabai. I don’t want to argue with him so please take her home. I will come home once I will calm down. Ram ji asks him what’s bothering him. There is a way to lessen your pain. You should share it. Bhima says I miss Aayi all the more today. I will find the house empty without her. Aayi will keep coming in front of me if I will roam around like this. Others may not understand my pain but I know that you can. Ram ji gives in. He pats his head lovingly and goes back to Jijabai and his family. Ram ji suggests going home. Jijabai is worried for Bhima. Where will he spend the night? Ram ji says he will meet his Aayi. They head home. Bhima watches them leave.
Sakpal family reaches home. Jijabai stops near the stairs. Ram ji asks her what happened. Jijabai says I don’t know who all was in for the idea of your remarriage. I am the DIL of this house now. I have a right to enter just like other DIL’s. Ram ji is confused. Jijabai asks Meera if she knows how one should welcome the new bride. Jijabai’s SIL and father second Jijabai. Jijabai’s father says I hope she will get the love and respect that she deserves. Ram ji nods. She deserves it. He tells Meera to do it. Mangesh has seen everything.
Maharaj, pundit ji, Dhansukhlal discuss how Bhima is away from the home on the first day of marriage. They are expecting the downfall of Sakpal family. Maharaj says half of our work is done. Mangesh says remaining work will be done as well. He tells them what he saw at Ram ji’s house. Maharaj says Jijabai’s SIL will do whatever little work is to be done. Bring her to me tomorrow. Mangesh agrees. pundit ji says it means Jijabai is being welcomed the way it is done in our community. Maharaj says it isn’t just Jijabai but Ram ji’s second wife and Bhima’s step mother.
