Part 1: Pinky's epic meltdown and a broken Shivaay
What a brilliant scene...we continue from where we'd left off yesterday...a Pinky CROWING about the horrible lie she told...justifying it because it was all done to get rid of Anika...Shivaay is left numbed initially...while an Anika is left with a shocked, "Aapne jhoot bola tha?"...Shivaay watches as Pinky lists out everything she did with a pompous kind of bitterness, never forgetting to rail against Anika till the very last second...I'm not even going to get into the loopholes...but I did burst out laughing when Pinky said that she was even responsible for Mahi being brought into the house and for Shivaay being kidnapped😆...that she was smugly declaring all this as some masterplan of hers...lol I suppose I should give it to her for some epic level of planning...haha but she still didn't seem to get how she was digging her grave...or maybe she did...cuz of the way she turned to Shivaay with desperate and deranged earnestness and asked him how he can say that this girl did so much for him when SHE, his own mother was willing to lower herself to such an extent for him...that this is the way Pinky has justified it to herself in her twisted mind...I do pity her on some level
I love that first quiet moment right after she reveals this was all a lie...Shivaay just stares at her for a moment...and she's staring back at him quietly...
She then looses it when Anika says this was all a lie? The change in expression there...the depth of Pinky's hatred for Anika is staggering
She pleads with him over and over again to understand that his MAA did so much for him...but finally he's had enough..."Maa? Maa shabd ko gaali banaa diya aapne"
The way he said "Door rahiye"...backing into his brothers, almost losing his balance before they sambhaalo him
The sheer anguish in Shivaay today as he brings full circle her argument about how SHE'S made him...that indeed she HAS made him into the egotistical NKK obsessed person that he is...he was geeli mitti as a child that she moulded into this image and NKK obsessed individual...to such a degree that he is unable to help himself now...if not for his brothers who humanize him
Pinky doesn't want to hear any of this...and the sheer VENOM in her eyes as she looks at OmRu...wow...these split second transitions were only a few among the MANY brilliant moments from Nitika Anand today👏👏
One of the most epic moments of the scene...Dadi's TIGHT SLAP to Pinky😆...wahaan bhi akkad didn't lessen one bit for Pinky even as Daadi expressed her disgust at how Pinky never even had faith in her own son
Today we saw a Shivaay humbled by his own family...in both good and bad ways...at one end was the feeling of being cut off at the knees by what Pinky had done and on the other end was the awe at his brothers, his family, his Anika for having gone this distance to protect him...the one who's always been The Great Wall for his family was in fact protected by them to this extent...what a humbling moment for Shivaay
And his apology to Anika was just unbelievably poignant...not being able to meet her eyes, an Anika shaking her head telling him he has nothing to apologize for...super aww@ his "Don't be so nice, Anika...I don't deserve it"...aww Billu
Pinky still hasn't given up, still tries to plead to him to understand...and yet again rails against Anika...but this time Shivaay had had enough...told "Mrs. Pinky Singh Oberoi" to back off and enjoy the OBEROI title she enjoys so much...
The way he said, "Kaunsi Maa?"
And then came in my opinion, NM's best piece of acting today...as Shivaay went from person to person saying, "Yeh meri Maa nahin hai..."...
The final "She's not my mother" and the way his eyes went dead...like something shut down inside him in that moment...superbly done by NM👏
And so came about the fall of the "mighty" Pinky Singh Oberoi...an epic moment and scene overall...Special mention for Nitika Anand who was just SUPERBBB today👏👏
The Shivika portion deserves a seperate post below.
