I loved the episode 👏 Definitely, much needed.
Something had changed between the two of them, something that made Shivaay call her 'family', something that made Anika have sleepless nights, and if this hadn't happened they would continue as it was, and would have never been forced to confront their feelings.
Obviously that whole part where Shivaay tells Anika to plan his marriage was very well done, with the cinematography- very symbolic also, with Anika representing Shivaay's alternative solution and Shivaay walking away, with the reflection in her eyes.
But the best part was his expressions when she was talking- was it just me or was there a little bit of hope in his eyes? Like he subconsciously wanted her to say he mattered- especially the last time, where she went "yahaan Priyanka hai, dadi hai aur aap" and then she didn't finish...I feel like he definitely wanted some indication from her...but obviously she wouldn't say anything, and covered it up and so that subconscious feeling in him was also suppressed and he walked away, as usual.
Also, Rudra, Rudra, Rudra- there is no way he's dumb or immature, only maybe a little tactless😆
The way he said "aapki yahi tashan, aapki zindagi barbaad kardegi", he clearly understands his bhaiyya very well. I loved everything he said today, comic, serious everything.
And the Anika Sahil scene was so heartbreaking- she didn't even know why she was so upset, why this shaadi was affecting her sooo much, this is a bit of a wake up call for her feelings- I think Shivaay is aware of his feelings but in denial, while Anika is just realizing that she might have feelings for him and he's affecting her.
And the BG music was uff
And now coming to the ALL important precap-
Obviously Shivaay had to go back to saying douchebag things in denial and being an A1 ass, that's just how Gul Khan works- (really reminded me of all those times Asad would go on and on about that misfit thing in QH)...but I think it'll be different here...
I really want Anika to just ignore him and be all dignified and so far she has done a great job of having great self respect, so I think we can count on her to maintain it. I really hope that Shivaay feels suuuper guilty and wallows in some guild and misery and angst, but idk man Gul never shows guilt properly🥱
Also, a lot of people have been complaining that Anika fell for Shivaay too quickly... Anika hasn't fallen for him yet- till now everything he's done has only hurt her ego, so she's still drawn to him.
Tomorrow however, he's going to hurt her feelings, because now she's come to expect better from him, and this would send him back to square one in her eyes. I think tomorrow she's really going to withdraw from him😲. I really hope that he has to grovel a little to win her back...also I want him to break the marriage himself, but I really think they're going to go with Anika and OmRu saving him from evil Tia...I don't like this idea very much.
