I guess this is the connection you were talking about when we spoke about Monday's episode, that was missing...but was more than made up for in yesterday's epi... Like i had also said, the moment that Abhi begins to stop restraining himself, the connection will be more apparent and yesterday was exactly that...only once before has Abhi allowed himself to openly admire this girl- the first time he meets her and actually believes she is there to seek his rishta, that is when he allowed himself to be completely taken over by her (also the fact that he was totally smitten by her persona).. He blushed then and he blushed yesterday as well.. PJ was brilliant- subtle and just the right amount of emotions on his face.
Meera- yes, definitely smitten, definitely falling for him...uske mind mein he has definitel crossed the friendzone boundry now (ironic, since they only just became friendsbook waale friends 😆 ).. It is probably the first time she met someone who not only doesn't judge her for her lack of achievements, but tells her it is okay to not have ambitions for what you have inside is the only thing that matters. For now, i am happy about this, and although i am pro-choice etc etc, eventually i would like to see Abhi influencing her in understanding the aim of her life beyond her 6-month courses..be it anything at all. Her mother is right, she needs someone who would give her the right direction and Abhi could totally be that guy for her. Two times she shined through the episode was her teeny-tiny smile and blush when Abhi is so perceptive and accurate about the fact that she is talking about herself despite her "meri ek friend hai" waali kahaani, looks genuinely intrigued that he guessed it, but still so comfortable and not at all embarassed that he did... You are right, the contrast between her comfort level with Abhi vs that with Aman is very, vey obvious...and now i expect (hope) her to break off with Aman all by herself especially when she is sure of her feelings for Abhi.. And the second time, when they are on the bike and he accepts her friend request, such an endearing and cute scene- somehow wouldn't have had that impact were it not for those cute and naive happy expressions given by both PJ and ND.. They legit looked like a couple who just started a relationship and were giddy in love... Sigh, this makes me look forward to when that actually will happen
Abhi- looks very touched about the fact that she put his needs above her own, rather someone did that for him after such a long, long time...burning off her designer clothes and using perfume as the inflammatory factor, not caring about money but that tiny note given by her dad- all definitely didn't help to curb his growing admiration and attraction for her...initially he was just infatuated by her persona despite her rich status etc..now he is actually beginning to admire the person she is and realises that being rich isn't something that she holds dear to her...alas, he is going to hold himself back again for fear of heart-break the moment reality strikes that she has an impending rishta with Aman..
He is still a little bit farther than Meera on the road towards recognising feelings for each other..although Meera is definitely catching up!
Yesterday's episode was so beautiful that i could go on and on...but have to reluctantly end the post right now...will get back later as soon as my thoughts compell me to...the jungle sequence and the pattern of abhi-meera falling for each other is definitely a refreshing take...so many brownie points to all the people involved in bringing it on screen!
Btw, I could keep on staring at those GIFs ...so much love they are
