Filling in for Apsvenky today.
It was a great episode with some beautiful Adilie moments and their dance practice that was totally unexpected.
Oh Yes !!!1 Day 2 of Dd free... Dare I hope for this streak to continue??? 🤣🤣
Opening was the BBC cook off with Anu declaring with distaste that it was dehathi khana with some vegs and hence it is disqualified as it did not meet the criteria of being 'phoren dish'. Grandly announces the winner to be Prachi, who is overjoyed and both saas bahu showed all their battisi... (teeth) 🤣
The Tripathis are distraught and stand by as mute spectators... and Poor Imlie is shedding tears. Then Pallavi steps forth and slays the judges with her arguements, that are too logical for Anu to manipulate.. 😆 and going by taste, the winner is Imlie as she had also prepared pizza with flour, cottage cheese, tomato sauce n vegs.. 2 - 1, declared the winner and finally the younger T's all break out into a smile.. while Apu/Radha are standing stunned..at the turn of events. The judge announces that Day 2 will be a dance competition.
Anu does not like this turn of events and is even more hellbent on making the T's pay for her miseries. Don't get the logic but that is the plot. 🤣
Looks like the Tripathis now have split into 2 groups with the younger gen eating separately. The older T's PT & HT were not to be seen today. Adi, NishVi, Rupi are seated and eating with Imlie serving them her 'phamous Moti Rotis'... they all dig in happily... and there was a big orange blob in the center.. could not figure out what that was.. my guess. a mini mountain of jalebis... 🤣 Imlie apologizes to Pallo and asks her if she is not mad at her, for being disqualified.. Imlie saying she never meant for her to be disqualified at all... This was a nice scene to watch..the younger T's eating together, with banter.. what would have made me happier was Imlie seated at the table with them, eating alongside.. everyone. But guess that will have to wait for the family to accept her, before she sits at the table to share a meal.
While saying sorry Aparna comes and says it is her habit, she messes up n says sorry.. what is she going to do next.. murga banogi aur kuch aur. Daantos..Imlie full haq se ki she does cheating, dokha n lies. Adi is RADIO silent and listens to his maa, who is also scolding Pallavi for getting disqualified. Poor Imlie's smile is pricked and she goes all silent.. Pallo tries to sambhalo saying that Imlie will WIN the BBC cup.. Rupi informs them that the society ladies are taunting Radha/Apu... and that Adilie have to WIN the 2nd round..
To the casual question, who will teach them to dance, Sundar steps in.. and says never fear when Sundar is here.. Finally we get a good Sundar Scene... where he is utliized to his FULL potential.. it was such a heartwarming and funny scene..
Sundar does a few steps and Adilie are watching him all confused n bemused... The scene of Sundar Dancing with Adilie watching, then teaching them was so cute... the bonding of the younger T's on full display... Sundar has become a honorary Tripathi too... 😃 The banter and all working to make Adi a better dancer.. wonder how GM managed to dance so badly when he is brilliant at dancing.. 🤣 Imlie daantoing ADi when he cannot twirl and falls on Imlie not once but twice... iss janam mein nahi ho payega..... tum hamari wajah se haar jayegi... AWWWW....BS walks off in a huff.... Rupi n Nishu encouraging him but Sundar is like 'nope' you are not following the steps... Sundar insisting that Imlie call him not bandar but Sir.. oh I loved that they kept their equation intact.. NOT a bit has changed and they share the same camaraderie... this is SO refreshing to view.
Surprise Surprise..tada... Adilie ka dance and some lovely moments of convo... pleej... Sita Mother... let us continue to get this... aage bhi... pleej.. that is all I am asking for.
Adi brooding in his room and Imlie goes to him.. tries to cajole him into dancing and Adi is like you are going to lose because of me..
Adi calls out the fact that the silly BBC is not going to prove a darn thing... she is already the best as she has saved his life on multiple ocassions, saved Malini, gone above and beyond for his family, who seem to have forgotten all that. He states without a doubt that there is no one in the society who would have accomplished a bit of what Imlie has done for all.
Imlie says she is not doing all this for the chantomai... I missed this word so much as it was a staple in IB... but for his maa and Radha taiji.. wants to be their best bahu.. presents the ghungroos that Aparna handed over at the time of the dance, hoping that Imlie would preserve their dignity and pride.. Imlie reminding him that she won back her affection by dancing... and wants to win back their love.. This convo was much needed, the saath, the way they talk it out... baring their hearts. Also reveals that it is his maa's dream... that the T bahu win the BBC Cup.
Jal Utta Bulbwaaa... Adi is like you want to make me into Anarkali.... he is petrified at the thought... of making a spectacle of himself.. Imlie says the masterji was galat and teaches Adi... the same music ha ha ha.... dhuaan... wala music.. It was a wonderful dance to see.. with Imlie smiling and pagli.. in love.. being encouraging.. doing the swirls and the twirls... it was so wonderful.. to see... ☯️☯️☯️ nazar utharoes..
Aparna and Radha are passing by and stop dead at the sight of Imlie teaching Adi to dance... they just cannot bear to see Adi..holding and dancing with his wife... Imlie.. it will be the ultimate beizzati for them if the society were to see Adile in such close contact and embrace... would be embarassed beyond belief.. yada yada.. I think Apu is realizing how much Adi has changed and she feels that Imlie has cast a spell on her son. A typical Indian saasu ki soch.. for TRP..bring it on..makers..
Precap: Adi in the brown kurta goes to fetch the ghungroos and is locked in his room by Apu.. Imlie waiting for Adi to show up while Anu is itching to disqualify Imlie and heap insults on her head n the T's.
Done with my essay. Folks if I forget to tag someone, pleej don't mind. Do post your thoughts and waiting to read them.
