@AY: That last bit!! YES, , itna hubby-wife feel aa raha tha, fighting as usual.

And then it was also like Anika was a petulant student in Shivaay the professor's class, the way he was asking her to keep quiet, and listen to him🤣

but that moment when she was looking in the mirror and he entered the room, my god...

shivaay acts like it's so common to have anika there, and anika was SO at home😆


I agree, the trope is overused, and the scene was not needed, but billu ji ko action mein laane ke liye KITNA kuch kehna padta hai, finally threaten karne par woh uth khade hue🤣

I really felt bad for anika, because though it was not her fault, whatever pinky was saying did hurt her, and she felt guilty about betraying the family.

what I like is, while there are some who see that as helplessness, I saw a strength, a refusal to justify SSO's behaviour. If he wants to, he can do it himself, sort of a thing.
I LOVE anika for this even more, no matter how hard he pushes her, she pushes him right back in some way or the other.

Being vulnerable does not have to be a weakness; to retreat is okay sometimes, but she always recollects her calm and poise and all her mind and hits back at Shivaay and knows EXACTLY where and when to counter-strike.
In that, she's as much of a 'businessperson' as he is (and uska toh khair)

Can someone explain what Shivaay's plans for The Great Bridal Escape are, exactly? Was he planning to sneak Anika out during the night, and then calmly announce to the family over breakfast the next morning that their new bahu pranced off to her maayka without even showing her face to the khaandaan? And then somehow find Tia and cut another brilliant deal? And apparently he wants a divorce from Anika too? Just how can you divorce a woman whom you have not even married, technically speaking? 🤔 And the success of all these PLANS depend on one flimsy ghoonghat staying in place? 🤔

This Billu's plans are worse than a high-schooler's trying to hide his grades.

But then this is also the show in which Anika watched a B-grade movie to prove a dead woman was alive. So never mind. 😆

That scene from the Tuesday episode, the one with Bheji thi dua, was so well done though. Was shot and directed nicely, and great performances too, especially from SC...the moment Anika finally submits and yet rages at him with this anger born out of the helpless defeat he had cornered her into, while he holds her back but also just, lets her be...those few seconds did what three entire episodes of drama could not... showed Anika's fierce courage and the appalling lengths to which Shivaay had to fall in order to make her bend to his will. Chalo at least they managed one genuinely poignant moment in this giant trollfest of a shaadi, that in itself is a shocker. 😆



Finally you watched this scene! Haha I've been discussing it since yesterday in Geet's other thread...see I gif-ed too :P😆 Fantastic scene it was. Very well enacted.







As for Billu ka Great Bridal Escape plan...LMAO mat lagaao dimaag...dahi hi hoga...dude has no clue what he is doing, how he is doing...I hope Om rips into him tomorrow for the beyond nonsensical ludicrousness of this idea.


But then as you said, this show ka LULZ material includes mystery solved using PHOKAT RAJA ka poster, so😆😆...

😆😆😆 Boxy, billu ke plans na, hopeless hote hain😆😆😆

And funnily, all their schemes WORK also😆😆
OH WAIT, never mind, they're all equally stupid😆

He'd called Sahil in a car to ostensibly take him to his wedding na? Phir kahan gaya beech raaste sahil? 😆

And I agree about that poignancy, that one rare moment of beauty in this entire dramatic track with nothing good about it.
It was visually beautiful and emotionally devastating (thanks to SC) to watch!

I think reception par bhi koi na koi dance sequence karenge...koi mauka nahi chhodte😆😆😆

For Shivaay it should be

'paisa paisa paisa, paya paya paya'
instead of 'taufa laya'😆

but that moment when she was looking in the mirror and he entered the room, my god...

shivaay acts like it's so common to have anika there, and anika was SO at home😆 Exactly, this😆...

In that, she's as much of a 'businessperson' as he is (and uska toh khair) Oh she is definitely a SOLID businessperson...if Shivaay had any akkal, he'd realize that...but he still hasn't managed to fully get past her "unconventional" methods so to speak😆.


Interesting point about how Anika is strong even in her vulnerability...yes, I do agree with that...even though I'm no fan of these scenes where girl stands crying like a mute statue as people hurl abuses at her...but they did insert a scene of Anika thinking to herself that Shivaay is quiet as usual so she'll have to speak up...that itself already sets her apart from usual sobbing bahus...she has an action in her mind...not just sitting around waiting for stuff to always happen to her.


I hope they reveal the LENGTHS to which Shivaay went to blackmail her into this marriage...atleast OmRu and Daadi should know so that they can sunaao him...I hope Om expresses his disgust too...and Anika should exit the house with her head held high...leaving Shivaay to deal with the family ke questions.

LMAO oh haan...I toh forgot about that only😆😆...Saahil kahaan gaayab ho gaya beech raaste? Didn't they tell the kid they are bringing him to Billu ki wedding? Phir Saahiil didn't wonder ki woh kahaan gaya?


Or are they implying that Sahil ne puri shaadi car se hi dekh li and didn't know it was his sister under the ghoonghat?😆😆


Billu ke hopeless plans ki wajah se hi toh is show ka LULZ meter chalta hai😆



Ohhh you know the other bit I found HOWLARIOUS today...Billu's expression when he's watching Soumya-Prinku take Anika away for the rasam...lol the way Om stops him from going after them...and then the way Shivaay AVERTS his face, folds his arms and starts looking down as he knows the inevitable is coming...the way he seems to think that not watching it happen will somehow stop it from happening🤣...Itna funny namoona hai na yeh by god...makes me laugh.

^this one here, what fantastic expressions from SC, man...the focus was on her and she nailed it. It's not sad or terrified sobbing, it's the helplessness of a very brave woman who has been hit in the one Achilles heel that she has, and that emotion came through perfectly. And the best thing was, they showed the reflection of that in Shivaay, when she leans on him, defeated, because she has literally nowhere else to turn to...it was strangely moving because she was submitting her will and there was no smug joy of victory on his face...it was more like an acknowledgement of his own deeds, he had to do what he had to do. Nice throwback to the earlier rain scene where he had given her the blank cheque, there were lots of parallels but Shivaay is the one who has come a long way from there (a RARE moment of acknowledgement in the show, lol)

How Shivaay goes from this point where he is still holding back while she just falls on him...

...to this...

Very well-executed on pretty much all fronts. No wonder Gul was crowing over it in such a pathetic manner. 😆

Waise, did Shivaay even have a dressing table/mirror in his room before? Maine toh aaj pehli baar notice kiya😆...Like they put it in just cuz ab Anika aa gayi hai wife banke...lol

Also, Shivaay's room looked very different today with all the decoration...usually it's so light and spacious looking.

@Bidya: Beautifully described as always! Word to word on everything you said :)

The marvel to me is that they managed to execute such a genuinely poignant, heartwrenching moment in the midst of all the other troll-worthy stuff that was going on...how do they manage it?😆


I mean one minute there is all the random dialogue-baazi, trolling kinda stuff going on and within seconds it shifts to something so surprisingly SOBERING, no? The moment when Anika starts running towards the burning car and he runs to stop her, hold her back...that is when the switch happened...suddenly the whole thing became so dark, so sobering and by the end, there was that emotion of despair as Anika submits her will, like you said...which is why the scene makes good impact too.


They do deserve kudos for this scene...all of them...writers/directors/actors...it was a tough scene to deliver and they aced it.

He did have one before, matching the white/blue color scheme of his room. Remember he was giving himself suicidal looks in the mirror during his shotgun wedding to Tia, wearing that awful black velvet sherwaani, and Pinky came and embarrassed him some more? That one.
I haven't watched today's, so can't tell if they have put in a new ornate one in honor of the grand shaadi. The one in the shaadi promo was quite terrifying. 😆
