Ann love,

Great post as usual!!

I loved the epi for its last 5 min and for the return of my girl❤️...I am so so so deliriously happy to see her smiling again and finally got to see her old everything tod self back, sitting crosslegged and on the phone with Khannaji like a boss and that small exchange of smiles between her and Shivaay's walk with the SSO bgm...amazing!! Thats enough for me to be happy today...

So will worry about the logic fails and whether the angst between Shivika was because Ani promised to stay only till the Nbz were exposed later...Today will treat myself!!😆

RES

Anisa what a KHIDKITOR Episode today. Reminded me of why I fell in love with IB.

Edited:

Omigod where do I even begin?!

Thank you! Thank you for being as excited as I am post episode ...😆 .. I'd like to personally shake the team's hands for the execution.

THIS. THIS is what I've been demanding for so long. An episode that was consistent, organized and so full of feels. There wasn't one moment where I felt that the writing or pace was slipping, one moment where I felt that the acting wasn't matching up (except for the actress who played Romi), not one subtlety that looked out of place. Everything made sense today.

I even felt bad for Pinky, making a big fool of herself, while a big match was going on right under her nose...

First the flower scene. I'm guessing Pinky, as usual, put Anika to it. Billu didn't like her doing it - he couldn't take his eyes off her; telling her repeatedly through his kanji ankhain that he was sorry. Anika didn't like it either. It was almost like she was getting strength from his unfaltering gaze to take all this bravely just this one, last time.

This was cruel, making Annika shower petals at his feet. You could see clearly how much he hated it.

But he didn't stop it, so 😡.. He could have..

Then, the annulment papers. They weren't a part of the plan. I'm guessing Shivaay would've agreed to marry Tia - even with the real pundit and rasams - because the wedding would automatically be annulled in a court of law, assuming ShivIka's marriage is court-registered. I don't think either Anika or Shivaay were bothered about billu doing the rasams. They're both not religious and extremely practical beings. Therefore, they would've looked at that as necessary sacrifice.

But with Mrs. K throwing a curveball at them with those papers, you could see they were thrown back, esp Anika. When Shivaay signed those papers, she freaked out a bit and let the tear run down her eyes, quickly wiping it away lest she give away her real feelings to anyone, esp her billu ji 😆. Again, Shivaay's steady gaze gave her strength. Ankhon ankhon main, he told her he's got this, asked for the pen and signed. She was still scared, but she trusts him now.

It surprised them, rocked Annika a little more than Shivaay. He saw her panic and held her eyes for a good time, before blinking a reassurance.

Also a throwback to the previous papers they had "signed" , where he was blackmailed and wouldn't explain to Annika what the matter was.

I wonder if she knows details of what is up with Mrs K?

Then, Romi happened. Anika, desperate, ran out to tell her billu ji to call it off. He knew simply Romi's word won't be enough to convince his mother. Therefore, he orchestrated the drama we saw in the last 6-7 minutes. I know Shivaay did go a little overboard while insulting Anika but I feel it was necessary. His enemy is smart, he had to look convincing to them all so those brutal words (for Anika and for us) came out of his mouth "You and I are over".

Anika, I think, understood subtly ke simply Romi wasn't going to be enough. So, Shivaay had thrown her out so she could call Khanna ji (who's a part of it!) to take a trip down Gulmohar Road with his security team and bring Dushyant to the venue. It's the isharon isharon main baatain they do that told Anika what he wanted her to do next. Through this jugalbandi of sorts, I'm sure they've gotten to know how the other's mind works and what the other wants/wishes to do. So, she knew.

It HAD to be done right then and now. Out in they open, in public, for everyone to witness and comprehend. Having Mrs K and Tia be outed in front of everyone is paramount in proving Annika as not "manhoos" at all, but a trusted well wisher of the family.

He gave her a stellar opportunity to be the saviour, as she rightly was, right from the start.

And then, THE LAST PART. I swear, I watched it so many times.

Me too! It gave me goosebumps! These two are awesome.. going to watch few more times😆

I cannot tell you how excited I was for that part when I read about it in the WUs. It was as if I was going to watch first day, first show of an Aamir Khan movie 😆.

And I have to say NM and SC absolutely slayed that scene, like murdered it. The way SC suddenly stopped crying and looked up "Wah Anika, bari sahi acting kee tonne ronnay ki" 🤣. Iss situation main bhee apnee Anika-giri nahee choree.

Man, I can't praise them enough.. tomorrow is going to be even more fun. Can't wait!

Also the way she just announced Annika's return, with her raita dialogue was just 👏

And when billu had his back to her and they were both smiling - I'm SO GLAD they weren't looking at each other. It packed more of a punch than if they'd been face-to-face. It was almost like Shivaay was sensing Anika's smile and answering it with his own pallang-tor smile. He just knew what she was thinking. There brains have become one. While collaborating on this scheme together, they'd began to think alike and they just knew what the other was doing. I bet in his head he was going "That's my girl." They were both dancing inside. Their mehnat is finally coming to fruition.

OMG this subtle understanding is way up there together with his longing looks at her lips !!

I think the plan was Anika's to begin with. Frankly, I can't imagine billu ji coming up with something so dramatic 😆. But somewhere along the way, Shivaay took hold of the reins and became the head planner.

Also, I watched all of Pinky's scenes today. Because I want to doubly enjoy her world crashing down around her tomorrow. Schadenfreude, baby. Also, special mention to the costumes and makeup today. ShivIka looked royal.

😆I dare say, everyone is looking forward too her constipated face when she realizes she is the biggest fool of all the Oberois, how humiliating it will be?

Her wonderful Bahu ideal just disintegrated in front of her very eyes...😆 I will enjoy that A LOT...

To end this, I'll just say this. While this was both their plan, Anika has had to go through a lot more - like a WHOLE LOT more - than Shivaay has. She had to take the fall, she had to go inside the NB circle, she had to risk her life, she had to get insulted multiple times by Pinky and God knows who else. She was the one basically executing most of it. While the success of this plan benefited them both, one can't deny that it is the Oberois who benefit the most. Therefore, Shivaay now owes even more to her then he did before. He better treat her accordingly and make up to her BIG TIME.

That is what I'm looking forward to. She took a huge risk upon herself to do this. At the very least the snooty senior Oberois should take the opportunity to make up for their mistakes.. Dadi can help rub in some salt..😆

That's all 😆
