Pyari Mona Episode 11 Written Update and Review 

So, the last episode ended after Mona’s brief make-over of sorts. She walks into the living room confidently, with a smile on her face. I was half expecting Babar to mock Mona (because that’s who he is) but he didn’t. He surprised me again, pleasantly so, when he took Mona to a business dinner.

And that was all the goodness Babar had to offer. The moment they arrive at the party, Z asks Babar to drop her home. She’s crying, so I guess that rules out the possibility of any questions from Babar? Even Mona doesn’t say a word. On the contrary, she’s all chirpy, chatting merrily with the model.

Mona’s efforts go to waste, though, because Babar keeps fighting with her. He even challenges Mona to lose her weight. Mona tries…

And fails miserably.

Mona might not have wanted to marry Babar, but she puts her sincere efforts in making this marriage work. Kudos to her for trying.

Z has an agenda on her mind. We don’t know what that is, but she is flirting with Babar. First, she asks him to drop her home. Then, she comes to Babar’s office to thank him, and then she runs into him at a restaurant. The way she says “Bye, Babar!” everytime, it is evident what she has in mind.

That’s not all. When Babar comes to her home to offer her another assignment, she asks him.

“Ban jao mere boyfriend…”

Do you need more proof?

I can’t really blame Z, because she is shown to be like that. It’s Babar that I’m miffed with. Biwi hai, beti hai, phir bhi extra-marital affair? Uff…

My favourite part of the eposde (and my biggest grouse with Mona’s situation) is how Babar and Shaista both try to bring Mona down for her entrepreneural venture. You will get nowhere, this isn’t you cuppa tea, you will get clients only because people know me… Neither Babar nor Shaista show any faith in Mona. Shaista goes so far as to say that if Mona doesn’t take care of herself, Babar might start an extra-marital affair and spend more time outside the house. While it was painful to watch, it was also important to show that such people exist, such mothers exist.

I can’t wait to see Mona succeed in her business.

So long!
