May 21, 09:39Sorry guys check up the update here on Desitvbox about a confrontation with Raghav and Kamla! Sorry Phoenix, Kris, and others…my first reaction to it was anything but intelligent. That was the fanatic side of me. I made a comment under that heading.
(Am frowning right now after reading this update).

May 21, 07:57There was so much on my mind last night to post here this mornin,pg, I started reading Paige and Suni responses, and thought, omg, we are thinking the same things.
It is so wonder to hear Suni views, I know how she can analyze her characters and reason for their actions etc. That I look forward to.
Paige has brought another set of refreshing views also that I really enjoy reading.
Once again I would like to state that in some ways I could identify with Kalpi. In that she comes from, well, let’s refer to my country, she is a countryside girl, with low income parents, got an excellent education set high standards, did not count on falling in love, at least this early and further, a business magnate and she made it. Most of us get our love, like I did, with some hurdles along the way, but our love and understanding for each other let us up overcome those hurdles, but poor Kalpi, anyways it’s a serial, so it must have the usual drama before she could get her Prince Charming and drive off into the sunset and live contented ever after.
Notice I did not say happily ever after, because life is not always a bed of roses, like Paki pictures it to be.
We have problems ups and down, but once again, love and understanding and lots of compromises on both side to make the marriage work
Fingers cross knock on wood so far so good for me đ

May 21, 04:34Hopeless yaar!!! Kamala HARISHCHANDRA ki aulad hai kya???? Guys dont waste time to watch this serial……..
Kris
May 21, 07:39Harks chanders was a Saknt my dear, Kamla ain’t no damn saint
She is just trying to be Mahaan but is going about it with the wrong people, she just has a good hear, too good for her own good, and using it for the wrong people,
That compassion should go solely for her “daughters” and Raghav whom she consider her son.
Kris
May 21, 07:40Jeez this auto correct messed up, I meant Harischandra was a saint
Paige S
May 21, 08:09lol…nice Kris

May 21, 03:28OMG,. what made kamla she bring kapoors to her home.there is a big danger for kalpi”s life.plz save kalpi from evil kapoors.again kalpi has to go through big trauma.neetu make difficult kalpis life.she made kalpi suffer more. what a big fool is kamala!.again and again kalpi get sadnes in her life.i think this time kalpi will assasinated by neetu.
Paige S
May 21, 08:13Mujahid…you are scaring me if that should happen. And knowing these serials with all the silliness, that could very well happen and the next thing you know…Kalpi is dead. Raghav is dead in taking revenge. Both of them reborn and then their love story becomes complete and then the Kapoors get old and revenge has to be taken again and Kamla lives as an old woman remembering Kalpi and Vitthal (who dies of heart break) and Paaki gets old and remembers her younger days! Isn’t this how these serials are?
This is crazy. This better not happen in this serial! Totally disgusting, these writers, if they do. But if I see any sign of this happening…I’m not sticking around to see it.

May 21, 02:16I must admit that I’ve never been very keen on this show mainly because I was put off by the character of Kamla. She had and still has some traits that don’t appeal to me. Her desire to want her kids to succeed has to be applauded and her being a breadwinner for years should not be overlooked. However, her constant desire to run to the Kapoors aid and her obsession with Pakhi set my teeth on edge. She appears so meek and humble but is yet so manipulative of people especially her immediate family. She doesn’t always take their views and desires into consideration and often imposes her will upon them.
The creatives have probably thought long and hard about where to take this story or we may just be over analysing it. Whatever it is, the story holds more appeal now. It has this cauldron of emotions, of love and betrayal and revenge and some stupidity too.
I agree that Raghav is now in an unenviable place. It will take a strong man with a strong woman behind him to come out of this intact. I believe that Kalpi is the stronger of the two young woman. Her life to date has strengthened her in ways that even she’s not aware of.
Both girls were let down but Kalpi is the stronger of the two. She has tenacity, her life has prepared her for failings and let downs. Pakhi has never been deprived before this, she got everything money could and couldn’t buy. This is her very first hurdle, having only known “success” how will she handle this “failure”. She has no previous experience in losses. I wonder if she will use underhanded methods like her parents have to get her way, will she seek pity or will she do the right thing. I’d like to see how all of Kamla’s unrestrained attention and love for her will turn out.
telly
May 21, 03:45I must say that I think the character Kamla portrays is so fickle. Her story now about helping pakhi first in the river incident when they were small is that she wanted Kalpi to be strong????. Crap
I agree, she only thinks about what she wants and no one else. That husband needs to bring her in control.
Kris
May 21, 07:43You’ve put so meticulously, I couldn’t agree more.
Paige S
May 21, 08:19Anonymous agree fully with you. I am still holding out for Kalpi to support Raghav if these silly-billy Kapoors live in the chawl. I like how Vitthal remembers them but still…Kamla will prevail in getting her way, or rather,,as Anonymous correctly puts it…she IMPOSES her will on others no matter how they feel. I am watching this serial, Anonymous only because I want to see Ragna united by hook or crook! As I said realism went down the drain, so is the writers separated RAGNA unrealistically, then they can weave some unrealistic twist and reunite them. I am NOT watching this for Kamla. The first time I saw EMA, after a few episodes I stopped watching it last year. It is for the same reason you said: Kamla irks me to the highest. I return to the show because of Ashish Chowdhry and when I see Kalpi, I liked her character and after seeing her circumstances, I wanna make this my story and so I want to see RAGNA reunited.
Paige S
May 20, 22:53Ok guys…here is how I sum up everything about Raghav and Kalpi. Here is a guy (Raghav) returns to India to take revenge on a family that ruin his. He is set on his mission and is focused then, he met this girl, distracted him and changed his world and the story for Raghav falling for Kalpi went like this:
(This is part of the lyrics from a song call “UNCONDITIONAL LOVE by Jah Cure)
“You never see it coming
and the next thing you know
unconditional love
unconditional love
she aint lookin for no diamonds
and digging for no gold
just somebody to love
unconditional love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38A1NZEHpxY
ps—I so badly want EMA to play this song in the background for when next Raghav sees Kalpi…..(smile)
âÉ§ÆĄÉĆÄ±Òł
May 20, 23:03I heard this song today on the radio đ . ..
Good choice đ . .

May 20, 23:11Nice one PAIGE. So SWEET of you yo share.
Paige S
May 20, 22:05As I said before I never agreed with the writersâ choice of actions for Raghav to ditch Kalpi at the altar. That was wrong but then we began to assess why the character Raghav did what he did. He came with one mission and that was to seek revenge and use Paaki in the process. Along the way, he fell in love with Kalpi and he never saw that coming. When he met his mother he was again consumed with revenge and took that route over love.
We established that Raghav is a man with internal conflicts. As in tomorrowâs episode we will begin to see how the internal conflicts rip him as he struggles to understand what is right and wrong. Kalpi helped him to make the changes but his mother refocused his revenge. I shared many a times with groups that a woman could either make a man or break a man. Raghav is caught in the middle of the conflict between two women: his mother and the quest for revenge and Kalpi who was helping him to change. Each has a different impact on him. One could make him (not birth but who he is in life)and the other could make him into someone wonderful in life. That is the struggle of Raghav right now. Paaki does not possess the inner disposition and maturity as Kalpi to complete that change. In time to come, Raghav will begin to realise what life is. My hope is that he gets back together with Kalpi after resolving this. i won’t bash Raghav for in real life men are easily influenced by a woman close to him. The character flaw is in how the writers create Raghav. Like I said, they made him out to be sure and stable but now they are weakening his character.
However, if the writers brings this serial where everyone makes up and lives happily ever after, which we all know is not realistic in our world, then this serial will be a disaster.
I remember seeing some Bollywood films several years ago where such things happen. Someone within the family commits murder and steals a factory from someone and then there is some tension and in the end, everyone is all forgiven and lives happily ever after. Every film starts with a revenge theme and then strayed away by making everyone, the blink of an eye, realise their mistake and patch up. Such movies end up being a disaster at the box office. It was just too unrealistic. My point is: if revenge is the main theme of EMA, then trying to âpatchâ up everyone and make everyone good in the end (as Kamla is perhaps trying to do with the Kapoors) will go against the theme.
I again make reference to a novel by Sandra Brown âSmoke Screenâ (though there are thousands of other books). The book starts with murder, and is centred on revenge. It didnât end with a Kamla-like character changing the bad guys but ended with the male protagonist going after his revenge. Some were killed in the process, some were jailed and others committed suicide. The result of such good development and sticking to the main theme was: the book was bestseller. EMA needs to be more realistic.

May 20, 22:28I think that asking for reality from a serial , might just be asking a bit too much đ . ..
In some ways EMA is a cut above the rest ; in terms of character development , themes , it’s portrayal of relationships , acting ability and progressive thinking .
You might scuff at the progressive thinking đ , but , it is still not overly common for girls to be properly educated in rural parts of India . I recall the scene where Kamla encouraged the neighbours to send their daughter to school , instead of keeping her home . Also , Kalpi hasn’t hidden herself in humiliation , rather she is willing to face her troubles head on , I really admire that . .
With regards to the theme of caste , I wondered if Raghav would have just as easily gotten away with what he did to Pakhi , if Kamla and Vithal had been wealthy ? If that family had connections , would Raghav have been free ?? Since he renigged on his wedding and cost those poor people so many loses .it was easy for him to dump Kalpi , because what can they do ?
At present I want to see Kalpi move on and become stronger from this experience . If Raghav wants her back , he has to hurt Pakhi . Either way , there will be tears .
Paige S
May 20, 22:40Phoenix….even i wonder why I am putting this much time into a serial. lol lol
Seriously, I’ve told myself time after time that this is a serial, don’t get so involved in this. All the creatives and actors are paid and happy. And I am tensed about the flow of the story. lol…
Really Phonenix…great views coming out from your. I love them and it is terrific to have such dialogue and discussions. Really good to read from so many people who gave such insightful views. Keep it up! (smile)
Paige S
May 20, 22:41oops…that should read “Great views coming out from you”. Sorry for the mistake.
âÉ§ÆĄÉĆÄ±Òł
May 20, 22:57Paige , your views are outstanding đ . .
I never had a total interest in this show , but you have vast knowledge of it so I respect your insight . . Kudos to you đ .. .
I just like figuring out the characters raison d’etre . .. That’s why I find Kamla interesting .
I want to know why she is this way .
With regards to her treatment of Kalpi , all I could think of is that she wants to toughen her up , for the real word of being a maid’s daughter . I remember how apologetic she was to Sammy’s parents about that . She has her shortcomings I know .
That story about the breast feeding is interesting . I guess people become conditioned to think in certain ways , when faced with oppression even the motherly instinct becomes affected . ..
Paige S
May 20, 23:30Looking forward for your insights tomorrow Phoenix. Again I think you have terrific views. I enjoyed reading them. I really respect all the commentators on this site. They bring divergent and refreshing views which makes watching the serial a bit more interesting.
Kris….sorry I didn’t “see” you at this hour of the night. Looking forward to tomorrow. Does anyone know where Fuzee and Sammy are? I miss them.
anonymous
May 20, 21:44I imagine Kamla’s brain as an electronic checkerboard. A third of the squares are lit up, a third have lights that flicker of and on (short circuiting) and rest are dead (the wirings are a mess).
She’s now taken the Kapoors to her one roomed apartment where she will put up with Neetu’s demands. If her family accept this I lose all hope for them. With Manda as a neighbour Neetu in their house and Kamla as wife and mother what chance do the rest have.
Kris
May 21, 07:49Lol this is funny
Paige S
May 20, 21:22Sweety, I like your optimism about the contract in the office that could give us some RAGNA scenes. I don’t know if that will work, which is why I was bold enough to declare yesterday that the following should happen. Forget the contract, Raghav, just do what I tell you:
*Get Kalpi alone and talk to her, give her kiss on the lips if she tries to talk too much
*Carry her to your car and then to your new house and have ready everything for a real wedding.
* Show her your divorce paper with Paaki.
We are done with the office. We are going extreme!
Danielle Steel style, and I am all for it!
devya
May 20, 22:36Lol I’m with u my dear PAIGE very romantic. Very nice ways of making up for the hurt lol. Nice I like your imagination.
Paige S
May 20, 20:59Gauri was bang on and far more logical as person when she displayed happiness at seeing Kamla, expressed her gratitude to Kamla for all the help and she didn’t mix her words. It showed on her face that she was so happy and thankful. And after listening to everything Kamla said, Gauri was right when she said to Kamla “it is better if you don’t interfere.” That’s a sensible woman! Kudos to Gauri.
devya
May 20, 23:26I agree WITH u dear u r making this series far more interesting than what those writer r DOING. Gouri mind is not scattered she is VERY focused on what she wants to see coming for the kapoors. She n her son know their pain n tortured they went through. I likes her words of thanks n appreciation to kamla. Kamla was even allowed to exhibit some of her sentiment n hurt n humiliation to raghav but when she refused to listen to gouri. I like gouri words to her it’s better she font intervene. So what kamla wants to prove she is supportive of the kapoors by taking them to her home n make kalpi life more miserable. Vithal n pakhiya need to stand up against kamla n let neetu go to manda house.
I wish gouri continue to be helpful n be a guidance to raghav n let HE explained what causes him to left kalpi at the s
Altar. N let his mum help him in making e right decisions of getting himself some happiness. Poor raghav is the one who suffered the most. Had a miserable childhood n now when he found true LOVE that was even Taken away FROM him because he wants to fulfill his promise to his mum. My heart goes out fir raghav. Please let HE get back kalpi so he can have dome happiness he deserves it.

May 20, 20:52A friend of mine is a fan of EMA and she too is largely upset over the way the story is going. Her son, in his 20s, does not look at EMA, but one day sat down with her and looked at a few episodes. When he saw Kamla and her actions as a mother, this young an commented: âWhat kind of a mother is that? That she would put someone else ahead of her own child?â The young man was puzzled at what he was seeing in the serial.
Then this 20-plus- year old boy, got up, kissed his mother and said: â Mum, thank God you are NOT like her!â And he left the room.
devya
May 20, 23:44PAIGE, no one can’t actually accept kamla action as a mother very difficult to described. Even the youngster observed. Pity the writers. Change kamla scripts make her a better mother. Charity begins at home. N she is not focusing on the happiness of the members in her family. She doesn’t care how offended or miserable she make their lives. All she is concern is showing her sympathy to the kapoors. N be helpful to them. What she wants the people of the chowl to know she is best woman for doing kindness. That’s cheap popularity. I DON’T agree with THAT.
Paige S
May 20, 23:58True. That was the reaction of a real human child after watching Kamla. Sometimes we don’t always know how to express our feelings towards situations and persons, but our responses clearly communicate that something is fundamentally wrong. I too was intrigued by the young man’s response. As a child he knows what he is looking for in his mother and can tell when something is just wrong. We heard from quite a lot of real mothers who are upset with Kamla. It is certainly interesting to learn of children’s response. I wonder if the folks at EMA are taking notes. It should help them in their character development.
devya
May 21, 00:41PAIGE, I really wish the writers can READ the comments pertaining to kamla character. I agree with the child. If he only watched a few episodes n could have figured out that kamla doesn’t have good actions as a mother. What about us who us viewing for sometime NOW how irritating kamla character is.they team of writers director whoever more need to change kamla scripts n portrays her as a better mother. Not only a kind caring n loving person to the rest n forget to be the ideal mother.
Paige S
May 20, 20:47I am just ticked off at what I saw in tonightâs episode. I agree with Kamlaâs dialogue on Raghavâs actions to marry Kalpi and then withdraw and marry Paaki. Thatâs OK. But then the dialogue went downhill and became senseless and illogical when she attacked Raghav for being a criminal without as much passing the same judgement on the Kapoors, whose crimes were WORSE! In fact she granted them haven! I tell you criminals would love this woman! Can you imagine Kamla giving refuge to a rapist! Disgusting woman!
Again, Kamla shows disrespect for her husband. The irony in Kamlaâs life and character is the writers are trying to make Kamla the goddness of morality, looking out for other people and yet disregarding her own family, trampling her biological daughter, disrespecting her husband. Itâs ironic. In other words, Kamla does not practice what she preaches. Look at it, as a mother Kamla is NOT THERE to see Kalpiâs pain but there to comfort Paaki. Speaking to Kalpi on the wedding day was not enough support to help the girl overcome the hurt. It will take a long, long time! She needs her family there for her at this time. Kamla isnât there for her daughter. Paaki has her own family but doesn’t want their help. She wants, as she did her entire life, what Kalpi has. Gees…
Vitthal and PakiyaâŠthe menâŠare the ones who are there for Kalpi. They see her pain and they try to help. Saint Kamla is comforting another manâs daughter!
Then we see Kamla again making decisions without Vitthal. I donât know if this is pure foolishness in the writers for not seeing this or it is deliberate. But if Raghavâs character is consistent, then why not Kamla’s? Kamla is portrayed as moral only, not to her own family! Time and time again she does things without Vitthalâs consent and tonight we see it again.
I bet henpeck Vitthal will concede to her after Kamla does what she does bestâŠemotional blackmail, and display a pathetic face to get her own way. I think Kamla wears the pants in the house! I laughed once when I read an angry viewer saying she would send over a skirt and bangles for Vitthal. I thought that was a little mean but now I am beginning to see that viewerâs point and agree! Helping people is good but helping criminals is another thing!
Once again the writers fail to deliver on certain scenes. The Gauri-Kamla meeting was âŠ.I donât knowâŠ..what was that? Cold. It failed to deliver. That was supposed to be a pivotal meeting. You keep this insane woman for so long and she suddenly appears normal in front of you and you behave like a walking dead, not even as much an intensity or emotional in the meeting. Not even a surprise look!
I sure wish the American serial âThe Walking Deadâ starts soon as I like those zombies more than Kamla and am eager to see dead men than Kamla! Anything but Kamla!

May 20, 21:14If Raghav were to enter a temple , would he be able to pray to God for assistance in his present plight ? Raghav has every right to want justice for his family’s suffering . However , there is no way that anyone can say that what he did was correct . He has become exactly what he despises , by bringing humiliation , hurt and heartache to innocent people . Paki and Kalpi are just collateral damage . An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind . Instead of moving on and creating happiness and having a family and a life filled with love , Raghav has chosen to delve into a past that cannot be changed . His father can’t be brought back to life , his and his mother’s sufferings can’t be undone . Only his future held hope for change , but , he has poisoned that by becoming the Kapoor’s son-in-law .Why didn’t he have the Kapoor’s arrested ??
Kamla did not forbid Raghav from throwing out the Kapoor’s . I think she went too far by carrying them home , but she chose to try to see what little good there may still be in these people . That’s what her character does . Maybe the Kapoor’s might still be ungrateful , but Kamla is only doing her duty , her part . She cannot enforce the law upon the Kapoor’s , she cannot avenge what happened to Raghav and his family . She can only act according to her principles . I don’t condone her actions , because it may cause conflict between her and Vithal . I honestly think that she takes Vithal’s loyalty too much for granted . .. she might be heading for a wake up call . ..but , I don’t see her as inherently bad rather she is overly naive and her kindness often becomes her weakness . ..
Paige S
May 20, 21:32I respect what you said Phoenix…but even God has a limit to the evil of man. We cannot extract good from any man unless circumstances have there way with people. Which is why what Kamla does it not the correct way. At least in my opinion though others may differ. Changes come within and afflictions and sorrows and suffering wring men from within. Kamla is wrong to think that by showing kindness she can bring out something good from the Kapoors. Keeping them at her place won’t change the evil entrenched in them for all of their lives.
In the same way Raghav’s actions may be frowned upon for being wrong (rightfully too), in the same way Kamla’s choice of actions and doing things is frowned up. Sometimes interfering in the activities of fate (in not letting it run its course) for the sake of helping others could turn out to be more disastrous than any good intentions we hoped to achieve by so doing.
Helping others in trouble is good. But where is the line drawn?
âÉ§ÆĄÉĆÄ±Òł
May 20, 21:50Kamla’s character is very interesting too me , she’s simple and naive in many ways but her love is also boundary less and non selective . She never properly puts even Manda in her place . She comes across as easy to push over , but , the lady has tremendous faith in her God . When she had to become the bread winner of the family , she took that challenge head on . .. and although she isn’t perfect , she does what her heart tells her to do .
When she was faced with the dilemma of Kalpi’s wedding to Raghav , she sought God’s intervention and guidance . She knew Pakhi’s love for the man . She felt torn as a mother . .. although many would judge her as being biased , she was instead genuinely confused .
She has helped Raghav , Gauri and Pakhi and they are all victims of the Kapoor’s . Now she is helping the Kapoor’s , maybe just because , in her head , it seems like the Godly thing to do . Anyone can be forgiven by God if they become sincere , and it is If Raghav were to enter a temple , would he be able to pray to God for assistance in his present plight ? Raghav has every right to want justice for his family’s suffering . However , there is no way that anyone can say that what he did was correct . He has become exactly what he despises , by bringing humiliation , hurt and heartache to innocent people . Paki and Kalpi are just collateral damage . An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind . Instead of moving on and creating happiness and having a family and a life filled with love , Raghav has chosen to delve into a past that cannot be changed . His father can’t be brought back to life , his and his mother’s sufferings can’t be undone . Only his future held hope for change , but , he has poisoned that by becoming the Kapoor’s son-in-law .Why didn’t he have the Kapoor’s arrested ??

That’s what her character does . Maybe the Kapoor’s might still be ungrateful , but Kamla is only doing her duty , her part . She cannot enforce the law upon the Kapoor’s , she cannot avenge what happened to Raghav and his family . She can only act according to her principles . I don’t condone her actions , because it may cause conflict between her and Vithal . I honestly think that she takes Vithal’s loyalty too much for granted . .. she might be heading for a wake up call . ..but , I don’t see her as inherently bad rather she is overly naive and her kindness often becomes her weakness . .. said that the evil ones are the ones in most need of love . She’s taking a great risk , I know . .
In my view , it is very strange that fans are trying to understand Raghav’s reasons for revenge and for jilting Kalpi , but it is much more difficult for they to try to understand Kamla’s modus operandi for forgiving . ..

May 20, 21:56my apologies for the previous post , I accidentally added a copy of the previous comment .
Kaylaâs character is very interesting too me , sheâs simple and naive in many ways , but , her love is also boundary less and non selective . She never properly puts , even Manda , in her place . She comes across as easy to push over , but , the lady has tremendous faith in her God . When she had to become the bread winner of the family , she took that challenge head on . .. and although she isnât perfect , she does what her heart tells her to do .
When she was faced with the dilemma of Kalpiâs wedding to Raghav , she sought Godâs intervention and guidance . She knew Pakhiâs love for the man . She felt torn as a mother . .. although many would judge her as being biased , she was instead genuinely confused .
She has helped Raghav , Gauri and Pakhi and they are all victims of the Kapoorâs . Now she is helping the Kapoorâs , maybe just because , in her head , it seems like the Godly thing to do . Anyone can be forgiven by God if they become sincere , she’s taking a tremendous risk , I know .
In my view , it is very strange that fans are trying to understand Raghavâs reasons for revenge and for jilting Kalpi , but it is much more difficult for they to try to understand Kamlaâs modus operandi for forgiving . ..

May 20, 22:36Hi Phoenix, I do understand you points and they are very valid indeed. It is not that fans are trying to justify Raghavâs action and I know you are fair in that you did say you donât condone what Kamla is doing. Respect given. I think everyone understands Kamla wanting to help people, no matter the situation, their status, beliefs, etc. There is nothing wrong with that. What fans find bewildering is, indeed, her modus operandi. Raghavâs they understand.
Take for example: the incident of the two girls drowning. Kamla saved Paaki first. The lady said she got to Paaki first but at the same time wanted Kalpi to become stronger fending for herself. Iâm not sure drowning is the way to learn. But thatâs Kamlaâs logic. Confused modus operandi, I should think. Any other person who saved either girl first who have known in their mind why they saved one girl first as opposed to the other. But for Kamla, wanting a child who is drowning to learn to swim is baffling. Unless of course, Kamal is putting Paaki ahead of Kalpi discriminately, which is what has been depicted strongly throughout the serial and which now crosses boundaries, hence viewersâ outrage at her.
When Raghav gave Kalpi the pen as children, Paaki wanted it. Kalpi was chided for not sharing just so Paaki can get what she wanted. The question in this case is: which is right and which is wrong? Kalpi chided for ânot sharingâ or âtaking someone from someone and giving it to another.â I donât know for many people, but I would have never encouraged Kalpi to give the pen. The principle here is not about sharing. This was a case of Kamla allowing or encouraging covetousness in Paaki. Hence contributing to the girl growing up thinking that she must get everything she wants in life. Again, justifiably upsetting viewers.
Please donât misunderstand me, I know what Kamla attempts to do. So do viewers and they get annoyed with her because Kamla doesnât respect boundaries. Here is a real life example. Back in the time of the British Raj, some Indian women who worked for the foreigners had to breast feed their mistressâs baby. When they went home, they couldnât breast fed their own. Some of them would rub some ointment of some kind on the breast so that their own babies would either taste or smell it and fall asleep until the next day. No milk for their own poor baby. How can a woman, a mother do that to her own?
Charity begins at home. Often times we are told to set our own houses in order before setting someone elseâs house in order. Thatâs why viewers question Kamla and she is not in favour. She crosses boundaries to the point of neglecting her own household and no amount of kindness extended to others make up for such negligence. Raghav we know. He is man who came in without any thought for morals and principles. One only has to recall how he treated Kalpi first. He was always rude to her, insulted her, demeaned her. He was easier to understand and so were his actions. When he fell in love, his lack of moral principles starts to clash with trying to adopt moral and principles. No one is justifying his action but like I said his character was easier to understand than Kamlaâ.
Great views Phoenix. Adds great interest and I am so happy to read them.

May 20, 20:41Paige, I did not even bother to look at this episode, too depressing,
Ok so even if Kamla speech off Raghav about his behavior, oh hell, then she is the biggest hypocrite, she should have equally given the Kapoors a similar speech and leave they ass high and dry, there she indirectly condones their wrong doing and justifies it in the form of reprimanding Raghav, because the Kapoors are equally responsible for Raghav doings of revenge.
I hope this move by Kamla is what instigates Kalpi to leave the house and further take revenge from the Kapoors for now taking her mother away from her, because that is exactly what happened here.
Paige S
May 20, 20:54I hope Kalpi does exactly what you say Kris. I really hope so.
devya
May 20, 22:53Kris,I agree with you. What Phoenix wrote too is correct we can’t go against God will. But kamla is acting one sided.
I know what raghav DID to kalpi is wrong. His words wouldn’t be genuine in the eyes of kamla n vithal anymore. He place himself in a predicament not knowing who to please. After condemning his mum that she leave him n have all the wrong interpretation of his mother n finding BACK his mum n KNOW the truth n is fully well aware what the kapoors DID to make his childhood so miserable. Who as a son wouldn’t wAnt to avenge their father death ,his mother’s unhappiness n he being brought up like an orphan from one place to another.
What I don’t like kamla acting for us she US not handling the situation with fairness. She is very much unfair n o be sided. Knowing what the kapoors did n yet giving her full support n blasts raghav for taking revenge. That’s not fair.
Then vithal is trying is best to bring smiles to kalpi she is taking neetu n sahil to her home to increase kalpi pain. Why US she being so comforting to the kapoors. She is going against her own family to make the kapoors comfortable. No I totally disagreed with kamla. That’s is encouraging the wrong foers do more wrong I’ll be supportive of you. Is THAT her character portraying.

May 20, 23:28Kris,I wish for the same for kalpi

May 20, 23:43Devya, you brought out an interesting point. I had forgotten that. You are right. At one time Raghav didn’t want to hear anything about his mother. Recall the time when kalpi asked him about his mum missing his wedding and he brushed it off. Now after meeting her his feelings changed and he is set on his revenge. This brilliantly shows the conflict raging within Raghav. Sadly, he needs to know where he stands. Let’s hope there can be a reuniting of Ragna and she helps him. He is the one in need of help. Kalpi is the only one who can help him because of his strong feelings for her. See…the conflict within a man and how a woman can influence him? Watch Raghav’s behavior when he can kalpi meets. It’s like the lion within him gets tamed.
devya
May 20, 23:55Exactly PAIGE,raghav will only GET some happiness when he meet back with kalpi. Until now he is the one who is suffering the most. Poor raghav heart is probably bleeding profusely. Coz it wasn’t probably healed from the wounds of flooding both mother n father. NOW when he found true LOVE from a simple cultured educated girl. He had to give it up for the promise to his mum for revenge. He is the one who is place in a predicament all the time not knowing WHAT s the right decisions to make. U r right PAIGE only kalpi can help him. He shouldn’t be influenced by no others. Cause as he previously said kalpi brought about the change in him. So she can help him through his mission of REVENGE.

May 20, 20:24To the writers/creators:
While I understand your plot, your logic baffles me. Indian cinema is notorious for its melodramatic, overbearing emotional and illogical content and even in the 21st century, creative, writers, producers and directors from India have not learn and show no sign that they would ever learn. I gather from this serial that Kamla is being portrayed as a goddess of morality. The world craves for moral people to change it. But Kamla is not the epitome of morality. She is what I would call the NEW FACE or WAVE of immorality. The NEW villain. Murderers, rapist, thieves, drug lords are not the only villain around. When you have people like Kamla, who needs them?
I agreed from the onset that Raghavâs action was wrong and I never agreed with his choice of revenge. But ok, heâs on revenge, so letâs see how the writers develop this. So I gave the serial yet another change. After tonight, I am convinced that the Indian mentality will never change. I agree what Raghav did to the girls was horrible. But for Peteâs sake, the Kapoors MURDERED someone, ORPHANED a child, DESTROYED a family and a mother and wife, STOLE assets, PERSECUTED a woman of unsound mind, PUT THE POOR in trouble for their crimes, TRAMPLES the poor, PLOTS CONTINUOUSLY to steal and to take from others, all in the name of GREED and YETâŠKamal treats them like gods! Iâm sorry, am I missing something here?
She goes into Raghavâs house, lectures the man on what is wrong and then embraces these evil people. You knowâŠrapists, drug lords, murderers, kidnappers, thieves, corrupt people, money launderers, human traffickers, etc in real life would ALL LOVE Kamla. With Kamla around crime would flourish and so will criminals. In her book and according to her, we worship these people, we treat them like gods, they donât deserve their punishment, we must continue to revere them and show them kindness without due regard. My question to the writers and creative and Zee is: is this the message you are sending to the real world? That criminals and offenders should be granted haven instead of getting what is rightly due to them as a result of their criminal activities? Do the writers and producers share these convictions and would they treat criminals in real life like Kamla does? If they wonât, then why are you portraying this to society in your serial?
Kalpi and Paaki have their feelings hurt. Paaki have options of getting out of the marriage if she wants. But she doesnât want it. She wants to stay so WHY blame Raghav for any of her further misery? He made it clear he is out to make her life miserable. She has an option to come out but she doesnât want to. So she canât want to stay in the marriage and then seek pity for her circumstances. At least Raghav made his intentions clear of what he is going to do to her. Do you follow my drift?
So while these two girls have had their FEELINGSâŠnotice I said FEELINGS, hurt, Raghav is the one with the greater pain and losses. His father was murdered, his family was ruined, his mother was rendered insane and suffered in an asylum for 20 years, then persecuted in horrible ways by the Kapoors, and then Kamla disregard this and calls Raghav evil. Why are the writers putting the spotlight on Kamla as a moral person without getting into the feelings and lives of women like Gauri? Such failures and lack of details are what weakens EMA.
WritersâŠyour mentality to me is sickening. Cause if someone had done this to my motherâŠ.put her in an asylum and made her so for 20 yearsâŠ..heâs dead meat! Writers do you understand the relationship between parents and children? Itâs profound and deep which is realistically I understand Raghavâs mission, despite his wrongdoing, and bewildered by Kamla. It is nothing of what you portray in EMA.

May 20, 20:46So very very well said.
devya
May 20, 23:05Very nicely written Paige. Kamla is really portraying some unfair n one sided act. I don’t know why she is giving so much sympathy to the kapoors. She worked for them n that was her salary given for her Labour. N yes their money but she was entitled to payments for her Labour. N it US sinful money coz sahil murdered to achieve. I think the writers need to get realistic. They r not tighten up on the loose ends n is going further n they else be ashtray from their storyline.
All she thinks now is raghav unreliable,not genuine he failed from his WORDS. Not knowing he was in s predicament after reaching his mother n knowing the truth. She just favours the kapoors n even US making kalpi life more miserable by taking neetu n Sahil there. She think neetu will confess all of her wrong doings. Nettu should have gone to manda house. If any believe kamla can be such a hypocrite knowing the truth about the kapoors n still tolerating them. She US the biggest culprit in the series. For knowing the evil actions of the kapoors n still tolerating them.

May 20, 23:59I meant raghav heart is not properly healed .
