People can hate me all they want but I absolutely loved yesterday's episode. TBH with you, I don't remember the last time I felt such edge-of-seat thrill watching ShivIka in the same frame together. This is high-quotient, TRP-focused entertainment - and I'm loving it. Honestly, what did people expect? Things can't be all hunky dory forever. There has to be drama between the two of them to keep it going. Otherwise, it's tata IB. Am I happy with the choice of track? Absolutely not. I wish they'd done something Innovative like Annika working or her past (which are, frankly, things EVERYONE will love watching) but I won't complain if the episodes are good - which they are for me. (Rest assured that can - and probably will - change tomorrow when Billu goes overboard like he's bound, too)
Coming to the question of whether or not this is him faking it. I really think there were too many giveaways. He stood and talked to her for a long time, the arrogance on his face I remember from the v initial days was missing, why allow the pundit do use her things? He didn't even seem remotely surprised by her breaking his windsheild. Sure, the words were there but his face lacked emotion. Most importantly, how come he turns up at the mandir he knew Annika and he were scheduled to do pooja in and that, too, on the exact same day? So lots of giveaways. Can't wait for today. SO EXCITING!
One more thing, if he persists to throw Annika out of the house, I think the raaz might actually be something that harms her directly. So all the best billu and Annika, meri jaan, sending all my strength your way 😆
