Today was a perfect day to watch without thinking. I was chuckling for most part. I like it when the parody is in high gear, and today it was. Everyone was mostly in zombie mode. As if their part of the script said "Just stand there".
Here are my guesses on who had lines:
- Mother vamp was hilarious in her parody mode.
- Shivaay was still being real in his quiet desperation about not getting closure on anything -- not the Om illegitimacy video, Anika, catching the stranger despite finding her out, nothing. I liked how he had a minor explosion at Anika when she came asking why he left without informing her. It would be good if they didn't have him just dump old dialogue about him and challenges around randomly.
- I laughed out aloud when Shivaay identified Romi by her shoes!!!! You go, Shivaay! A businessman with truly an all-round perception on fashion. I am beginning to think this is truly the best character ever created in a Hindi serial -- EVER!
- The only time that Anika had any kind of real reaction was when she quietly told him to prepare to accept another reality around that as well.
Like Soapoperasrfun, I too liked the chase. I would totally LOVE to see a guy in flaming pink pumping down a busy Bombay side street ANYDAY! 😆 Like her, I too liked the quiet normalcy of the Shivaay-Anika medicine scene. But that was just the actors showing how blooming comfortable they are in the skins of their actors. They are really very good!
But of all the scenes today, the one that I liked the best was Swetlana telling Tia to get her act together. I feel sad that this story doesn't give us a full fleshed story about all its characters like it should've done -- all we get are tantalising glimpses of their stories, but are left to finish it in our own heads. It's a pity. For a show that appears to be a parody of the genre, it would have been a fantastic thing to weave the parody around fleshed out characters with good stories. It's a pity that it's not happening.

Watched the episode. It is getting a bit boring. I can imagine it... if they had Om and Rudy around, they would probably include some of their scenes instead of showing only Shivika. With the writers also stuck between 2 shows, it must be hard for them to arrive at new content every day. So, I am willing to give them some leeway. But the important word here is "some".
Word on this. The show was superb when they had the three brothers interacting. I wonder why the heck they had to do this spin-off before they had even finished establishing the story of Ishqbaaz.

This faraq game has gone on for long. The Shivika that I fell in love with did not have to voice out everything they felt for each other. Even today if Shivaay can sense her without her saying a word, why can't he just accept her silence about this? He keeps telling her that he knows it makes a difference. So, just accept it and solve the problem that is making her keep mum.
I hate defending Shivaay here because I do (mostly) agree with you. I just think that Shivaay is doing this at the moment because he truly got shattered when she went against his plan and with his family. Like that moment when he asked her -- with such superb incredulity! -- whether she was actually choosing his mother's desires over his, and going away from him (post the gun-shot fracas). That Shivaay would never have needed words. Now that he has so much evidence that Anika does not automatically do what he decides is the right thing, he needs her to verbalise her ... loyalty? fidelity? ... to him. Poor guy doesn't realise that getting her word is nothing much really. After all she had said she would go along with him, when he hatched the plan of taking her away from his family. And she broke her word then. Why should he really believe anything that she says to him now?
He's damned and he's doomed. He just doesn't know it yet. In love, he is going to have to give up control and just accept what Anika does / wants. It's a two-way street. I don't think Shivaay Singh Oberoi is used to such a concept. Maybe that is why he -- the all knowing Shivaay, the control-freak who knows himself so well -- said that he never wanted to fall in love?
