And as an added bonus, the story also seems to be actually moving forward with the Pintu-Krishna love story side of things. I don't mind if they shift the focus like this, outside their respective places of work. What makes it difficult is when the episodes are schizophrenic and unsure about what they want to achieve.
In short, today was good. This is the AB I want to see every day. CVs take note.
I realised a big part of what was bothering be yesterday was how much Krishna was acting like Pintu's parent and what bothered me even more was that he justified that behaviour from her. But they fixed it for me today when they showed Krishna knowing exactly how to handle the situation. She had bruised Pintu's ego by shouting at him like that and more than saying sorry, her first action was to make a childish demand. This immediately reversed the awkwardness from their previous interaction and sort of evened the ground before they talked out the issue.
I loved their conversation! Bharat Jalpaan clearly is "their spot." I liked how openly and sweetly they both communicated to each other, being completely honest that their respective pressure had led them into unnecessary discord with one another. And Krishna knew just what to say to make Pintu feel better. His righteous stance about getting a job was an excellent continuation on yesterday's frustration. Just like he doesn't want to be Babloo's brother or TTS' son, he also doesn't want to be seen as Krishna's...errmmm...uhh...Krishna's...hmmm...😉
I thought it was very interesting to see the role reversal that has happened now that Krishna is a BDO. Pintu, it appears has a terrible reputation, and is suddenly considered not good enough for a honhaar girl like Krishna. It is so fascinating the way society keeps morphing, which implies what a futile thing it is to try and please it all the time. So this marriage would no longer be an uneven match in Pintu's favour but in Krishna's. I like the way they are planting this idea in Saraswati's head but I am eager to see VP's reaction to the idea. I am sure he will be supportive but in what capacity? Will he support Krishna with apprehension? Or will he see the same potential in Pintu that he once saw in his own daughter and keep the faith? I do hope it is the latter because Pintu could really use a mentor right about now.
Ravi needs to doob in chullu bhar paani. That's all. 😡
But I did like the contrast between him and Krishna. He doesn't pay for the vegetables despite being asked and Krishna pays for the kachoris despite being asked not to. That's our girl! I also like that Pintu didn't have any issues with her paying...for now.
Chanchal! I know many of you out there were just waiting for this to happen and now it has and it is just as adorable as it promised to be. 😆 She is the classic saali and is clearly taking her duties of adhi-gharwali pretty seriously! I am glad Krishna has an innocent and trusting ally in her, though it could go the other way and Chanchal's well-intentioned ministrations could cause Prishna grief.
I hope they show Pintu trying to cook tomorrow before Krishna shows up with his tiffin. How cute would that be?
TTS' sunglasses. 😎❤️
