What stood out for me in the entire episode was the buildup. He went from realization of his wrongs, to the enormity of his guilt to tryng to set that aside to handle a little crying child. And still you could see him struggle with what he's done, but trying to comfort Sahil, until Sahil points out his Didi is missing--and the premonition a little brother has, about his sister..just NOT being okay, because she isn't answering his calls. . And instantly, you can see Shivaay's mounting unease-- like, a crawling sense of that connection they have, telling him, just TELLING him there is something wrong.
I don't find it surprising he headed straight to Anika's house. A lot of friends on the forum find this to be a blooper, but I think we can all be sure by now, that he hasn't sold it. He just said that to stop Sahil and Anika leaving him that day. I mean, come on, even if he'd sold it, wouldn't he buy it back at double the price when he saw its a handicapped little kid's only remaining home? At some point, I'd like Anika to demand to know which mahaan prani bought her house, since it has her stuff in it, and she can get into it with her keys and no one is there to stop her ! 😆
I am not surprised by the way he showed up there either. I think he knows, too, that she goes to her house like a wounded animal whenever life gets too much for her. And so, he goes there, unerringly drawn to where she might be. I found his initial interaction with Daksh very SSO like--he is so cold and controlled, imagine how any other hero would have reacted-- screaming and hollering and breaking things in a manic rage. But not this one--the only point where his voice hitches and breaks is when he knows she is listening to him--and his reassurance...I'm not so easy to kill-- tadi baaz ka taari! But it worked, didn't it? because for a moment, she believed it, she registered his strength, and smiled at her Shivaay.
I agree. I thought the same thing when I saw him speaking with Annika through the camera. He was so cool, calm and collected so that she would derive hope and strength from that.He wanted her to know that he was there for her and would not fail her. Any other man would have panicked, screamed, yelled and would have completely lost it that he did not even know where she was. But Annika is lucky that she is Shivvay's obsession because only a BIGGER stalker and psycho than Daksh can beat Daksh 🤣🤣 (no offense Mr. Oberoi but you are a ruthless and cold one)
He ranted and raved at Daksh only till the point where he was not aware that Annika could see him and his reaction. The moment he knew that she was watching him I admired how he held it together for her sake and composed himself. It was as thought he was asking her to keep her wits around her and be strong till he reached her. He did not once falter or say I will TRY to find you but with true conviction said I WILL find you.
It was because of that Annika was quick enough to answer the only and most important question he asked her, "Where are you Annika?" That question even caught Daksh off guard because prior to that he did not ask 'are you ok?', 'did he hurt you?" etc etc which would be of course logically foolish to ask. Of course she was not ok and yes definitely he has hurt her. But those questions would have made her weak and focus on the defeatist inside her and he wanted her to reserve her strength and be strong.
I always said that Shivvay's obsession with Annika was to the point of being borderline eerie. The man FEELS what she is going through and has almost tapped into her very being and essence. That is scary considering he has not even admitted to himself yet that he loves her. I don't want to even imagine what he will be like once he is comfortable with the idea of being in love and obsessed with her.
While Daksh has to use artificial technology to keep an eye on Annika, Shivvay has developed an inbuilt natural GPS that tracks her very existence. This he has accomplished without even putting in the effort into their almost non-existent relationship and I do not even want to know what he is capable of when he starts putting in the effort in their relationship.
OOoff, if I didn't know she is about to give him bhao in two episodes by storming off to sleep by the pool-side, tomorrow's episode would leave me wrecked and ready to just die from the feels. But I will watch along with you, Anu and the ladies here, and cry and cry and be happy our Shivika has returned.
Nakuul was truly incredible. I posted before on his guy's ability to just take over the screen, before the wedding crap pissed us all off --- when all I could focus on in spite of the dancing and Surbhi's fantastic work was Nakuul's face during the sangeet and engagement scene. But this episode, with the nuanced acting and the buildup--along with of course those iconic 15 seconds--blew me out of the water.. pun intended! 😆
