Old Radhi vs S3 Radhi
There are so many thoughts running through my head since the latest episode dropped. It took me so much time to digest what has happened.
As the title suggests, I have been noticing so many changes in Radhi’s behavior in S3 compared to S1.
Which is good, and I was so happy that she has changed and come out by breaking the wall she had built around herself.
Today, she makes efforts to see her daughter, tries to initiate conversations, openly claims her as her daughter, and expresses her heart to Reena.
Tbh, this is the version of Radhi I wanted to see.
Radhi is a bold woman, a powerful doctor, and fears no one. She does anything for her family and is a good mother to her children.
On the other hand, when it comes to Reena, she is still a 15-year-old child. She doesn’t know how to handle Reena, and the trauma she faced in the past made Radhi wear a mask around Reena.
Even though she tries so hard to push Reena away, she really can’t give up on her and lose her.
Her love towards Reena was shown very secretly during the past seasons, but after Vijay’s entry, something changed.
In the present, she yearns for Reena, claims her as her own daughter, and expresses her love openly.
The same Radhi who feared that Reena visiting her children frequently, or the one who hesitated to keep Reena near her, has come a long, long way. Now, in S3, she makes Vijay understand that her children need Reena and vice versa.
The same Radhi who asks Reena to stay away as before now asks why she is not even speaking a single word to her like Sid and Divi.
The same Radhi who wanted Reena to go away from Chennai now yearns for her daughter to stay in Chennai.
“Enaku ethuvum ila nu therincha apro nee poiruva, naan than inga ukanthu nee varuvaiya pesuviya nu yoosichitu irukanum.”
She openly admits to Reena that she will miss her.
The same Radhi who shows some sort of fear of letting Reena get closer to her asks, “What have I done to her for her to hate me this much?”
I loved this show because of Radhi and Reena. I was so curious about how they would get together, what would happen to them, and how they would reunite.
I was wondering how they were going to face each other after everything that happened in S2.
This whole thing that happened in S3’s 40th episode left me breathless.
I fell for that bold, fearless Radhi in S1, but now I have fallen even harder for this version of Radhi.
I hate this cancer plot, but if this gives me more closure for Radhi and Reena, shows their love and bonding, I wish for more scenes like this, without harming Radhi. Please.
I don’t know if Radhi was conscious at that moment or aware that Reena called her Amma. But that moment... I don’t know how to express it. I was so happy and sad at the same time.
I don’t know how many times I have watched that scene, but every time, it made me tear up.
I don’t know what Deepak is about to throw at us, but I’ll still be here, holding on to that one moment where Reena called Radhi “Amma.”
No matter what happens next, I know this is one moment I’ll never be able to forget. After everything they have been through, after all the distance, anger, pain, and everything left unsaid between them… hearing Reena finally call her Amma broke something inside me.
I don’t know where this story is going, and honestly, I’m scared of what’s coming. But for now, I just want to hold on to this moment. This tiny little moment that somehow said everything they could never say to each other.
Please, Deepak sir… let this be the beginning of their healing. Let Radhi and Reena finally find their way back to each other. They have already been through enough. I just want to see them love each other openly, without fear, without running away, and without hurting each other anymore.
