Ek Mahanayak – Dr. B.R. Ambedkar 19th February 2021 Written Episode
Meera does Jijabai’s grahpravesh. She thanks Jijabai’s SIL. I hope the house will be complete now. Jijabai’s SIL nods.
Champa is running for her life. Her Boss and her goons catch her. Her Boss slaps her. Stop dreaming of having a nice life! Embrace these ghungroos. This is your life. Make it your everything and come to me when you are settled with it. She leaves with her men. Champa rues that she really wanted to be someone’s wife and DIL. She cries. Bhima is going from there and hears her sobbing. What happened? Champa says I have been punished. You and your Baba told me to change people’s perspective by doing something else. I only got wounds and pain in return.
Jijabai apologizes to Ram ji for expressing her wish at the door. Ram ji denies. I got strength that I can be equally vocal with what’s in my heart like you did back there. She nods. Please go ahead. Ram ji shares that Bhimbai and I were talking a few years after our marriage. We decided that husband and wife are friends, lovers and partners. They hold and raise the family together. It is true. I want us to work together, think together to handle our family. This should be our first priority. I wont be able to do it without you. I feel that you will support me in this.
Bhima applies a lep on Champa’s wounds. She winces in pain. He tells her that she will feel better in some time. My Aayi had taught me that these leaves work as herbs. Champa feels bad. What should I do to go away from here? Bhima says one has to walk to go away. You need to fight with strength to not come back. It pains when you applies medicines on wound but it ends the pain eventually. We succeed only after trying. He goes. Champa thinks of her Boss’s threat. She throws the ghungroos angrily and runs to Bhima. No one will be able to catch me now. She runs in the opposite direction.
Ram ji says you can consider me guilty or you can forgive me but it is true that we will never have kids. Please accept my kid as yours. I will be forever indebted to you then. I realised that Bhima finds me guilty. I might be able to get out of it eventually. Jijabai says it is an old ritual. Husband gives a gift to his wife on the first night to make it memorable. You have snatched everything from me instead of giving me something. I accepted your family the day I was told to marry you. You are asking me to pay such a heavy price to prove that? He apologizes to her and leaves. Jijabai is in tears.
Meera and the kids are sleeping outside. Ram ji comes outside as well. Meera wakes up and is startled to see her brother sitting outside. why are you here? Ram ji says Bhima considers me guilty. The way he was looking at me at that moment made me feel like a criminal. This wasn’t the right decision! Meera says you are worrying for no reason. You love Bhima very much so you are taking it very strongly. Ram ji asks her if it is wrong to love his son. What’s wrong in me taking care of the fact that he got upset? Kids wake up hearing the commotion. He tells them to leave him alone. Sleep now as it is too late.
Jijabai refuses to forgive Ram ji. How can a wife forgive her husband for not letting her have her baby? I will neither forgive you nor accept your condition!
Next morning, Mangesh brings Chandrakala to meet Maharaj. Maharaj says I respect your sacrifice. I have put the past behind. You have done an amazing thing by giving a widow a new life. You have given those kids a mother. Chandrakala says I don’t understand anything. Maharaj says you did great by sending Jijabai to Ram ji’s family. You will be blessed for it. You have to protect Jijabai in case anything goes wrong in future.
Jijabai is offering jal to sun. Tulsa tells her sister their Aayi never used to do this. Why does everyone do things differently? Why can’t everyone follow the same pattern? Ram ji says it is a personal choice. A person’s beliefs, choices! Anand seconds him. Ram ji asks for Bhima. Girls say he isn’t home yet. Anand offers to go but Bala tells their Baba to go find Bhima. You can understand him better than anyone else. Ram ji and Bala leave.
Dhansukhlal and Mangesh tell Chandrakala to make sure Jijabai gets to live her life too. You will otherwise be blamed for it. Maharaj says one must be careful if they know something like this can happen in future. Chandrakala apologizes to Maharaj. I committed a sin. You are so merciful. I stood against you by getting influenced by Bhimbai. I realise today that you think well for everyone. You are right. I should be responsible for Jijabai’s happiness.
Jijabai asks the girls to take bath. Manjula says we will wash the utensils first. Jijabai asks them to bathe and do puja first. Everything else can be done later. Tulsa shares that they don’t do puja like her. Manjula says everyone follows their own beliefs. Everyone is right. Jijabai argues that both cannot be right. You will do puja first thing in the morning after bathing. Anand declines. We believe in Kabir and Tukaram. God is inside us. We must take care of everyone. Meera looks on.
Maharaj, Dhansukhlal, Pundit ji and Mangesh smirk.
Bhima is still sitting all by himself.
