Shivika: Faith wins after all in unexpected ways

I especially liked how this one was shot...whoever directed this, I must give kudos to...in terms of imagining the symbolism of darkness in despair and then everything lighting up, yet somehow still ending up in despair...Shivaay kissing that ring and leaving it there for Anika so tenderly, capitulating with a smile even as Anika is sitting lost in despair, thinking her faith has lost...he turns on the lights to let her know...also symbolizing the spark of hope in the midst of despair... and the joy in her as she sees the lights and the hope flares up that her faith has won after all, she runs all the way down to the pool...expecting to see the ring, scrambling to look for it...and then the hope dying out again when she can't find it, and she lays her head down in despair...

So they've managed to fight again...lol even though their faith won technically...but woh Billu-Billi hi kya jo koi cheez seedhe dhang se kar lein...lol so out comes the water splashing again...leaving a confused and sputtering Shivaay wondering why he's getting this treatment even after capitulating and giving in to her😆...and Anika is busy thinking his tadi won over her faith so she's put on that wedding outfit in a khunnas...btw she looked like a queen standing on those stairs in this outfit today...lol perhaps the sweeping camera angles flattered it more

And off she goes dragging VAT in tow...leaving poor Shivaay sputtering in anger...which is then compounded by Om-Gauri and Sahil teaming up to drive him up the wall in jealousy😆...some fantastic reactions from Billu in this scene😆

And then suddenly all the gussa and tadi don't matter anymore because even after all this, it was "MERE Shivaay ki taraf aankh uthaa ke bhi dekha toh" for Anika and "Anika needs me" for Shivaay...these two😆...and this moment when Shivaay's Anika sensor goes off😆

The Shivaay-Sahil moment...I liked the hug more than the Pinky promise...so chhotu sa Sahil looks all engulfed in Shivaay's arms...lol...

And so our hero is off to rescue his heroine...tomorrow should be fun😆

PS: BW shared your google drive links with me... thank you!!! Seems like it's going to be saving me a whole load of drag during the time 😆

Anyways, below is my reaction after first watch! 😆

------------------------------

LMAO 🤣

I watched an IB episode in the morning after a looong time!! LOL... It was a BILLU show.. He was just tooo sweet and tooo cute... too adorable...!

Billu saying "Anika, you win... I can't let you go" ❤️ 🤗

LOL... Anika again running through the curtains.. down the stairs... Bechari searching for the ring everywhere near the pool...

Another Aww... Billu saying morning mein "Ring yahan nahi hai toh Anika ke paas hogi.. Why did she not come to meet me .. Koi nahi mein hi chala jaata hoon"... Happy Smiling Billu 🤗

LOL@Anika-NeetaLulla scene but even in this scene NL praised Shivaay 🤣🤣 Anika is smiling and then cut to next scene with Anika ki rock music and she is becoming Panika to close the chapter...

Panika-Bagad Billa scene - Some awesome dialogues.. Stuttering CONFUSED Billu.. ki ho kya raha hai.. Why is Anika wearing wedding joda..*awww* ...Billu 🤗

LMAO@Om, Gauri and even Sahil making SSO jealous... and his reactions..🤣 Soo.. many height joke.. 61/2 foot footballer, Anika can't wear heels... then Anika ke mayka...First night ke joke ke baad.. SSO ka "chup chup" something like tha..🤣 Cute wale BilluJi.. But I feel for you, man... Billu 🤗

LMAO.. Meri Panika is back - Ragini ki ankheen nooch legi if she even looks at 'HER' Shivaay 🤣

LOL...and again one more LOL@ SSO ke sensor 🤣🤣🤣 But cute tha.. "Anika is in trouble!" ...Billu 🤗

An aww-worthy moment.. SSO-Sahil Pinky promise! 😊

PRECAP:

LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣 Panika hitting VAT(Thank God.. not a crying damsel in distress)...and then Shivaay ka mukka on VAT face with the dialogue "Shivaay ki BIWI ko haath kyon lagaya" 🤣

Glad they went 'almost' all-out comedy with this! I was confused in a few scenes that should I be sad, angry but then next scene some or the other joke... so I could not dwell over it! 😆

Idk about others I loved it and I think.we are minority aaj but I will take this the classic IB over the drag and nonsense They were showing from weeks I can relate to these nuts again and it reminded me.why i fell in love with them

Conclusion: very happy fan aaj

I hope Shivaay manages to get it back from him tomorrow...ab toh that ring has taken on legendary status for Shivika...lol

Shivaay-Saahil hug was lovely!

SC and NM in simple white clothes are always awesome! That Neeta Lulla bit was so misplaced 😆

ACP Bhavya managing to locate bhabhi in the midst of fighting Sultan(a) 😕 - Khannaji ko bula lete! Anyway, sounds like the whole "rescue" tomorrow is going to be comedy circus before bringing on the emotional bit.. So looking forward to it!

LOL you're very welcome, LJ! Yeah it's been quite the drag since a while now...glad the scenes can help you out...it's tough to sift through all the other nonsense otherwise😆

Anyways I feel like the show picked up from around Wed last week with the kitchen scene...yeah there was still drag but Shivika scenes started to get better dialogues...this week has been a marked improvement...I'm especially liking the direction of the scenes since yesterday.

lol Shivaay's tight slap should get it out from VAT's pocket 😆
