First heart broke for Arpita. She’s such an amazing woman and I hope her and Imlie get more scenes together.
The T’s are ridiculous as is Malini and her OTT drama. Puh-leeeze!
Dev’s entry was useless. It literally could’ve been anyone saving her and would’ve made more sense with Aryan. Like where’s his Lambigadi!?!
Also, in theory that fall and catch scene must’ve sounded great but the execution was far from. Like where’d he come from?! (Maybe he is a vampire Pooja?). And she slipped on the top rung of the ladder, how’d she get so far onto the bus?! Who’s in charge of consistency?! It was a bit much but standard type of scene for ITV, it just could’ve been done better. Still, I liked his thinking back on their moments and his line about it being necessary to always fall.
I loved their scenes on top. And how he was contemplative and she couldn’t stand his silence. She knew EXACTLY what he would say/what he could be thinking. He didn’t say a word to her and yet she wanted to clear the air and make him understand why she was doing the things she was doing. He didn’t even ask - because he already knew - he would’ve said all she was thinking but he knows her so well - knew this was more than her running after Aditya. He’d been planning to take her to PD himself if she hadn’t run away.
I love that he brought snacks lol When did he have time to pick up water and snacks?! It was so cute, him quietly taking care of her while she spiralled because he was quiet. She couldn’t take that he was giving her the silent treatment.
I loved his explanation for why he wasn’t fine. That she was intent on running towards danger and that’s not okay with him but it was okay because he was going to be with her. This partnership is one of my favourite things from today - no more boss/employee barrier - and we know what that means, that professionalism barrier comes down. He was quite a bit more chill with her already. Points to the background score/sound effects person - well done.
Partnership, supporting each other, this is the foundation of their relationship and why it’s going to be a strong one.
I’ve so many feelings about these scenes on top of the bus, they’re some of my favourite. And the lyrics of that last song - while I don’t doubt he feels a responsibility for his staff - he’s shown it with how concerned and helpless he felt when the bomb blast went off yesterday while he was watching the broadcast, he showed it when he used the moment with the interns as a learning opportunity - but how long is he going to hide his concern for Imlie behind this facade?
I think Pav was right all those nights ago about Imlie’s mom being the one in danger. Something is going to happen to someone she loves, and it’s going to force her to see Aditya in a whole different light. Aryan is going to be there to support her. They are partners after all.
I had way more gushing thoughts, picking apart that bus scene, I didn’t want it to end but I feel I’ve gone on quite a bit. Going to catch up on everyone else’s thoughts while I compose my own more deep thoughts.
