Man what an emotional roller coaster ride of emotion was today's episode, what a fab writing by HS 👏

A year ago Shivaay thought that ANika was crazy to do the things she did for him & his family, today when she's in the throes of loosing doubting her sanity he is hell bent to prove her wrong. What a journey Shivika have had 👏 👏 👏

Shivaay's helplessness on not being the wall for her & seeing her break apart in front of his eyes had him in tears 😭 😭 😭

Anika the khidkitod girl who had so much strength in the toughest of time is on the throes of loosing her marbles 😔 Her struggle to grasp at straws to prove she ain't having any issues broke when she heard Shivaay's words which he said in deceit & in anger Poor girl was devastated & she calling to get admitted in mental asylum coz her husband would never send her away was heart wrenching to the power of tiffany 😭 😭 😭 I can't write anymore than this coz 1st I had written an easy & by mistake got deleted & 2nd it's too over-whelming to write more


Give a mediocre script to Narbhi & they make it good, give a crisp meaty script & they make it fantabolous 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 What a performance from them since Vanvas track has started but today Chandu slayed it like a queen ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

This was such an unusual scene today...not just for Shivika, but even in the general landscape of scenarios conceived for TV pairs ki relationships...

Such a delicate balance to navigate...an Anika feeling heartbroken, confused, questioning her sanity, feeling like she's floundering and then on top of that, feeling terrible over any kindness Shivaay would try to show to her...cuz just the sheer idea of him also thinking she has gone mad cut deep...the moment she thought HE too lost faith in her, her already fledgling hold on her sanity shook up further...she felt defeated, resigned herself to the idea that she must be going insane, and still thinking about how she's giving stress to Shivaay so wanting to just remove herself from his life.


And then there's Shivaay on the other end...boy what a situation to be in...seeing how drained out Anika looks, wanting to console her but being unable to say anything directly...feeling all the more torn up when she'd stay stuff like she knows he thinks she's mad...the FLASH of anger he showed when she started saying she's gone mad, wants to go to the hospital said SO much about his pain...the helplessness in his eyes seeing the tears streaming down her face as she pleads with him to let her go...the frustrated "Paagal ho gayi ho kya"? that bursts out and then immediately makes him feel worse cuz of the irony that it's all about this whole PAAGAL issue only right now and he didn't mean it that way...but that's how it came out and she only misunderstood him further.


And how heartbreaking was the moment when he could do nothing but just try to put aside the topic for now and go to sleep...abruptly walking away and going to his side of the bed to sleep, grappling with his own pain through silent tears...while Anika too watches him all heartbroken and then lies down herself.


I found this to be such a rare kind of scene b/w a pair on TV...torn up over loving each other so much but feeling so helpless in a situation...without the cliched kind of MU...the way things escalated simply over some choice of words like him saying paagal ho gayi ho kya? It's hard to describe how tangible that quality of helplessness was in this scene so PERFECTLY portrayed by NM-SC.



In the second scene, the way Anika was shaken up even further over the ghantis and then wanting to immediately go to the mental hospital...that feeling of literally despairing was portrayed so brilliantly by SC there as Anika kept looking over her shoulder and to the side while trying to dial the number on her phone...and Shivaay again left to deal with his helpless frustration at not being able to stop her from unraveling, threw her phone and then tried to ORDER her into stopping this madness and even scolding her ki RONA MAT...lol...these touches they add.


In the morning scene, I was touched by the fact that even in all this sadness and despair, they tried to show that attempt at normalcy, Shivaay asking for his morning kiss, her giving it to him, albeit sadly...him feeling relieved that she wasn't that mad at him also...bas chhote chhote touches but still it gave this flavor to the scenes that felt realistic...and then Anika going into her martyr mode saying she's decided she's gonna leave that day, wants to make a last breakfast for him and Shivaay internally facepalming over how she's gone on a whole other tangent...lol


And then Shivaay's hilarious attempts to give her hints...this is what I love about them...they can add SO much depth to the angst in one moment and then they can go into this subtle irreverent comedy...it's such a comedy of errors for Shivaay right now...haha


Some lovely and different kind of Shivika scenes today :)


*Edited: Forgot to add...I just really loved the IDEA behind this scene...Shivaay trying to be her strength and support in a moment where she's feeling so low that she has lost faith in her own sanity...in THAT moment he's given her implicit trust...just adding another beautiful layer to the journey of trust these two have been on and how nicely it has evolved for them to now come to this place...the way she has his back and he has hers :)

@bold THIS.. Angst was palpable and it was triggered by something as trivial as Billu's choice of word when he was lost his patience for a second.. This is actually some brilliant writing as well! 😊

LOL.. This...I was seriously watching the scene and my heart was breaking.. But then Billu went RONA MAT.. SONA HAI and I started laughing! Only they can do this! 😆😆 SC's voice modulation in this bit was awesome!

@bold Copy pasting my comment from our CC.. 😆😆
"This track is now reminding me of bache ka baap track.. Anika waise toh is confident that she is not pagal.. but then a few 'proofs' + after mishearing what Shivaay said, now she lost faith in herself..
Billu was also SURE but not sure(when DNA tests were positive) that he was bache ka baap ..

In both scenarios.. the other person TRUSTED the confused one COMPLETELY and they also investigated! Ek baar bhi doubt nahi aaya tha!! 😊

Good analogy, BW...the basic premise does seem similar in terms of giving implicit faith to your partner even as their own wavers...but I'd say this track is taking it many notches higher in terms of testing that faith...in the Tia's baby DNA test track, there was still the fact that Anika already knew Tia was up to no good...was already suspicious of her and thus felt even more assured regarding her faith in Shivaay.


Here the situations are way more dire in terms of how OBVIOUSLY insane Anika is getting proven in terms of seeing things that supposedly not there...in Shivaay's case, it was his CHARACTER that was being tested...in Anika's case, it's her very MIND...her SANITY...losing that is a far greater unraveling and for Shivaay to hold firm in a situation like this is quite commendable...the writers have made a lovely point here about how much their relationship has strengthened to be able to withstand and overcome even greater challenges.

Lovely post Khushi ❤️ Thank God you are over your CCSO obsession 😆

Coming to the episode, am loving this track so much. Ofcourse there is this sheer beauty of Shivika night scenes or Shivika alone scenes in general which were lost amongst the continuous group scenes 🤪 But the best part is how in this track we are finally seeing that blind trust and faith on Anika from Shivaay's side. And Narbhi ke toh kya kehne. These two nail the scenes even when the writing is not so great so when it is, the scenes are nothing short of perfection

@bold DEFINITELY... Shivika ek level upar na..😆😆 And Billu 'trust' question-paper NEEDS to the the harder one.. Itna time jo liya hai padhne mein..😆😆

@bold..Yes.. CVs have handled this well.. 😊 Angst without MU, third angle...
And return of SMART SINGH OBEROI - love how they remained true to his character & he tried to find clues..😊

There's this clich line which every hero/heroine tells his/her better half... I trust you more than I trust myself'. Most of the time, I feel like it's said to tick things off the writer's list in terms of couples reaching a benchmark.😆 However, when I see shivika...it feels like they believe in it. First thought that struck me when I saw Annika accepting she was mad was this.
She heard her Shivaay say that, accept that Annika might be mentally unstable...and the girl who was still holding onto reality, accepted that she was indeed going mad.

Annika se hoga hi nahi ke kisi ko bhi takleef ya trouble ho because of her...because of her, Shivaay's not able to focus on anything else...
They are SO similar. Both Shivaay and Annika will bear others' troubles and they'll willingly ask for it...but when it comes to their own, they don't want to trouble the other...

I love how shivika are progressing in this vanvaas track. We've seen their steady growth throughout the show...and now watching Shivaay (one who believes only when presented with an evidence) going against what is shown to him and accepting whatever randomness Annika tells him...makes me feel like a proud mother.😆

Anyone would think Annika had gone crazy...so, Shivaay believing in her is surprising, yet not surprising at all just because HE IS SHIVAAY.

NaRbhi were brilliant in the epi yday. Only these two can shift through a range of emotions so effortlessly in one scene. NM was everything- Bagad billa SSO bhi tha, cute wala billu bhi tha, Annika ka Shivaay bhi tha... 👏

Beautifully enacted episode and all that you guys said but my main question was who would clean that shattered glass? One Shivaay threw?
