I'm so happy today
Edited
Oh! Risha ... don't you see me doing the dance right there with you ... woo-hoo!! 🥳Asya, I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for an episode like this for sooo long. Here are my highlights:
"Kaleje mein thandak pad gayee" like they say ... sigh!!!
1) Starting with basics, Anika and Billu's costume and Anika's makeup. they looked majestically royal.
They look like a dream ... remarriage honewali hai Risha ... Rudy ney real pandit ko tie kar ke rakha hoga... 😆
2) Rudy's panic when they were hit with that curveball of annulment.
My baby ... I don't blame him. Bhaiya-Bhabi are his only constant right now with all that is happening around him. He truly adores them and their values regarding relationships are his only soothing balm right now.
3) The subtle way Anika freaked out when annulment papers came out. She really thought, for a moment, they were trapped.
4) The way billu held her gaze before signing, trying to give her confidence and asking her to trust him in this. And she does, she trusts him. But she was still scared...
Yeah!! Hubby felt that pang too. Weird - she feels the pain and he hurts 😊 That is the base of their marriage - trust. And it ain't the easiest thing inthe world to have 'trust me' - no pun intended.😆
5)All of Pinky's insults towards Anika. Yes, you've read that right. I made sure I watched ALL of Pinky's scenes today because I want even more pleasure when her world burns right in front of her tomorrow. I'm a sadist like that. 😈
For that scene I have my extra buttery popcorn and I am going to pop the 'bublies' (as Khushi would say) when she is blown away by Tia's truth.
6) Pinky praising Rudy after he took the pundit away 🤣 🤣 🤣
7) Shivaay throwing the phone into the holy fire. It makes the fire impure and consequently, the pheras don't count at all. I wonder if he did that on purpose.
yep! I wish he had tossed Mrs. K with her phone in as well ... that would make it a funeral pyre and the wedding would be impossible ... 😆
8) Dadi shouting out to Pinky to stop talking disrespectfully to Anika. I know the situation would've seemed bizzare even to her but she still trusts Anika enough to speak up for her. Shout out to Dadi.
Dadi's unshakable faith in Annika is touching. Kudos to that lady
9) Khanni ji being part of the plan 😆. I swear to you Khanna ji is this forum's soulmate. The biggest ShivIka shipper, along with the rest of us.
lol ... that man is too cute. I think he enjoys this more than the security job he was actually hired for. I bet he will video film the remarriage as well and then present all his videos as a wedding gift to them. That would be so amazing.😊
10) Billu stalling by throwing Anika out so that Anika and Khanna could go get Dushyant. Heknows simply Romi's gawahi isn't going to be enough to turn most of the Oberois. Also, as Anisa pointed out, he's letting Anika be the star of this show - and rightfully so. She deserves it.
I always said that he treated her like his favourite and most gifted and talented child even before the marriage...lol To him she was and will always be the star of the show. Billu loves his Billi ❤️ 😆
11) Svetlana's horrendous sleeves. I mean Fhat The Wuck was that?
She is Shivani's next guinea pig ... Annika is off the hook it seems for now 🤣
12) Forgot to mention this above; how billu and billi held each other's gaze when she was throwing the flowers at his feet. That was cruel and I'm sure Pinky made her do it. But he was trying to apologize with her kanji ankhain and anika found strength by holding his gaze.
13)The smile scene. 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.I swear SC never seizes to amaze me. The way she so smoothly transitioned from crying to a victorious smile 👏
14) 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.
15) Their 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.
Those were highlights for me as well .. it was a 'wow' performance 👏
16) Finally, the writing. I have been wanting this consistency, continuity, coherence and punchiness in writing since so long. There wasn't a single moment today that felt out-of-place. The episode was well-paced, well-executed and tightly penned. Except for the fact that Mrs. K suddenly has the clip again 😕.
I think that the phone was the last clip she had because Romi took the other one. As far as I remember the OLV's show that Annika ends up with that chip thanks to Romi. So techinically no video left. As for Prinku's video it was only Romi who had it so that is out of the way as well.
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.
And that is what I said as well. Shivvay knows and understands that hence all the loving looks and stolen moments during the rituals. He was apologizing for what she was going through and what he was about to put her through.
The MFPH better come from Billu first along with why FPH for all to hear
