You hit the nail on the head. The so-called boring sequence was only because Teesa was shown to rescue Nimboli.
I thought the scene was beautifully shot, directed and acted.
Actors playing Nimboli and Mangala and even Chagni were superlative in capturing the fear they felt.
And the relief and tears and hugs after she was pulled up was so well done.👏
I can imagine the gush fest here if by some chance Anandi had been passing that way and she had caught the falling child!!
(As an aside I was wondering if instead of pulling her up, Mangala couldn't have passed on enough of the dupatta length to let the child slowly slide down).
Urmi too was very convincing in being able to show at once her guilt and relief
Akhiraj and Kundan were as usual brilliant in their respective roles. Akhi's duplicity -- all smiles and polite while meeting Jagya and in his political role and a monster at home -- is stunning.
The newness today was Urmi finally realising that as a female in that household she will not be treated any differently from Nandini or even Harki. She was under an illusion so far that she could lord it over everyone. It is a very nice role and very realistic. It is a relief that she is not really gray or negative.
I hope she calls up her home, and her father threatens to expose Akhi before his voters.
That will be a way forward for the story.
If this is boring compared to seeing Anandi dressing up in different sarees everyday, I don't know what to say.
Actor playing Anandi had grown into a fine artiste with an ability to show subtle variations in emotions.. But somehow these days, especially post the costume change, I don't find her that expressive.
I have a feeling she is often not in the frame.
