Thanks for the update! Loved it, especially the 'Anandi smiling like a thousand volt bulb'. 😆
Today's episode was so great!! 😃 (I skipped past the older Shekhars being ridiculous, so it didn't bother me very much. 😛)
Anandi's face when she sees Shiv. :') I think it's ironic in a nice way that she's wearing the same sari she was pretending to be asleep in the library in. It's a great parallel because last time she wanted to be as far away from him as possible, and now she has to hold on to a desk to keep herself from grabbing him. 😆 I loved that little shot of her hand so much!!
And Shiv bhi na! He really has a piece of loha for a brain. 🤣 The whole point of the surprise was the reaction she would have on seeing him, which would have been at its most romantic when they were alone! No, he has to surprise her when she is surrounded by all the elders and all the bacchis. He really does need Captain/Shri/Love Guru Mahi ji.
But still, our adorable bhondu looked especially delectable today. ☺️ I would get distracted from the very important social message every time they cut to a shot of him. I also love that they both were wearing blue and yellow, I'm glad the costume department paid attention to making them complement each other.
I love seeing Anandi back in her teacherji mode. Though at first I wondered why she was talking to Ganga the same way as she was to her 10 year old students, but then I realized it was to make her feel not out of place, and because it would be weird for the 10 year olds to see her change tone. I'm sure she'll be different in private tutoring sessions, if there will ever be any.
And I love, love, loved the time they took to stress the importance of women's education. 👏 Another time when BV really has fulfilled its social message responsibility. Especially combining it with the Saraswati Vandana and Vasant Panchami, so that the message is accompanied by the traditions that people in rural areas know, so that it doesn't seem so revolutionary and impossible.
Also, whatever happened to the grant Anandi's school was due to receive? That would also be a good storyline for the CV's to follow, the reception of the grant and what the money is used for. If the hospital can get a new high-tech lab, the school should get a library or computers or something.
Ganga was awesome today too. I know there are people who don't like her, but the more I see her minus Jaggubhai, the more I love her. She was heartbreaking today, and Sriti really is amazing. In fact, I'm worrying about the fact that I'll grow to love her so much that I'll have to accept Jaggubhai and the unsatisfactorily closed Gauri chapter for her sake. 🤔
Back to AnSh - I giggled so much when Shivu turned back around from the car and jumped back in surprise to see his pocket sized Parvati so close. 😆 (Btw, I'm convinced AnSh are slowly going to drive me completely crazy - today the squealing was accompanied by my wrapping my headphones wire under my jaw without realizing it. 😕)
"Iska matlab aap lohe ke bane hain Shiv?" 🤣 And I said before, AnSh's comic potential is great, and here's proof! 😃 Funny dialogues are so natural and beautiful on them. And oh my god, this is the first time they've really spoken to each other in a romantic way, and Shiv was so shy and they were both so deliciously awkward and stilted, I loved it. I'm sure this has also to do with SidYusha not being used to this change yet, but it plays right into the naturalness, and it's perfect. "Two cute dumbos" to quote Khusi ji. 😆
And I agree with the dissatisfaction over the Shekhars - it's one thing for the older women in the family to discuss this thing, but to involve the men, and then involve the in-laws? At this rate all of Udaipur and Jaitsar will know and come to harass AnSh. Leave them alone, CV's! 😡
