My sincere apologies to everyone but damn my heart is flipping and I just cannot stop manhandling the repeat button. Take a bow Rantara, you have truly blossomed into one of TV's most passionate couple. This kiss has spoken and how.
Mad respect for Nikita - first show and she has killed it. The way she has portrayed Antara in love is crazy perfect. My memory fails me but I simply cannot recall anyone else , especially on television, immortalizing the varied shades of a young girl in love, like she did. Take a bow, Niki , you did well!Ruksana- I am frustrated at CV's for introducing this character just because she is so innocent and amazing that it would be hell difficult to see her being used as a pawn in this game of love. She has probably grown up with Raghu and has fallen for the kindhearted friend who has helped her all along. She is a brave girl to keep her feelings aside and has fully immersed in helping her friend his true love. It takes a special girl to do this. Her friendship with Antara is refreshing. She is indebted to these two , especially to Raghu and she will do anything he asks her for. She is going to suffer being used in this star crossed story. The moment which might have worried someone was when Antara prays for her to get love, but she rebuffs her. Yes it foreshadows how she might seem to gain love momentarily yet she would loose everything in that very second. She would live a lie. Now my anger at CV's is that she has suddenly popped into the story , there was no graph or background story, so we I feel she was and still is unnecessary and pretty predictable plot mover. Though the actress who plays her is doing a good job.Now for my Rantara-------I have jelly in my feet, truly melting as I blush and sneak a smile here and there thinking about these crazy silly lovers. These two are special , you feel protective for them. They are relatable, raw in their approach and there is this ease which makes them one of us yet something spectacular as well. You are not fawning at their superlative looks but its their honest , true all consuming love which we makes sense and feels real. Their communicative gaze makes them larger than life.The Salon scene- Oh my Antara has grown leaps and bounds, she is living her age. Is it just me or she is glowing these days. There is visible difference in her face now. She is woman in love and is proud of it. There is no awkwardness in her. She knows he is hers and she will get him. The cute role play was her way of breaking the ice, reminding him just how much his color of love has touched her. And she delivers the line that resonates - I am standing here and you would have to come to me, this is it folks, she is has crossed all the levels of trust- she is confident of her love and she would wait for eternity for him and probably that is going to be her downfall. and thats where the story would take a turn and we will see a "love-possessed" Raghu, returning and fighting for his lost love. This is going to be a epic love story, if they execute it well.Raghu- And he demands, he was never angry at her. Like I said before it is difficult for him to see someone trust him so explicitly and make him their world. He feels responsible towards her hence his frustration at seeing her near Satya. But boy o Boy, he was turned on by her cute attempts at manaoing him. He was enjoying her hovering around him and there he lays it- he wants her to give him what she can never give to someone else. Thats Raghu- he needs to convince himself that his Miss Kaul -soul, mind and body is all his.Dandiya- There was no one worry or care for the world. They were lost in each other and in anticipation of the promise that they have silently shared. He was so calm that for a moment he closed his eyes and bang there it took a Ruku to wake him from his dream. Raghu is living his dream , there would be a rude awakening but after the lull he would roar and fight for his reality.The Moment- I don;t think words can ever truly justify the magic that we witnessed in that moment. More than the kiss , I feel it was the unexplainable warmth and understanding that they exchanged which stole the show. They are aware of the boundaries they have crossed, trust they have placed and love that they have lived. In that gesture Antara has given her all to Raghu. She has placed her everything to him. I feel this is why Raghu would fight his destiny for redemption. He would try rebuilding his Antara. He has corrupted her for anyone else now. No matter what is store in the future all is sure is that noone will touch Antara emotionally or physically like Raghu. She is his for eternity.What fantastic characters Ayaz and Nikita have gotten to play in this serial. These two have given their all to this show. They thoroughly deserve all the accolades.P.S. I am not going to spoil this episode review and discuss the other objectionable stuff! Have lot to say and will shift focus elsewhere!All in all this was one of the maor highlights ever, censor or not Rantara has etched this moment in memories!
