Shivika aur naaraazgi ke rang

After what I personally found to be a very bizarre Friday epi, today IB felt back on track with a very regular IB flavored epi...random token song sequences, playing the full IB soundtrack of all songs in the beginning...lol then segueing into Shivika ke issues, then finding a way to show Shivaay fixing everything again😆, to finally Pinky waking up like a tigress to protect her son...haha in one line it was a PAISA VASOOL epi for me.

In what other show will you find a scene where the owner of a team just punched a guy and is now happily ramp walking with his whole family 5 minutes later🤣...I'm thankful they atleast pushed this to Monday rather than stuffing this into an already overstuffed Friday epi.

But coming to the topic at hand, Shivika and the dance of grievances and grudges...lol so I couldn't help but be amused as the scenes unfolded today...after dragging this whole MU and setting it up in a concerted way to make it appear as if Shivika did indeed lose all faith in each other and "sab vehem tha"...lol today Harneet coolly switched gears to take them into some understandable territory again...today, despite the facade of "woh mera ghar nahin hai" from Anika and Shivaay's hurt reactions in response, that was never really the issue...lol baat ghuma phiraa ke itni si thi that they wanted the other to come and manaao them😆

Anika was so NOT subtle in the indirect hints she was giving to Shivaay ki ignore what I'm saying and tell me it IS mera ghar...lol but Shivaay ne bhi aage se tadi maar li ki koi sunna nahin chahta toh main kya bolun...and so they unloaded their list of grievances...when I told you to wait for me, why didn't you? When I told you to have faith in me, why didn't you? lol and Anika also got valid lines today questioning him for hiding things from her and keeping her in the dark and then blaming her for reacting...lol...frankly their grumpy/sulky faces in this scene were really cracking me up and just making me go aww...pyar aa raha tha inpe aaj...all that hurt shining in their eyes directly evoked the love cloaking it...thankful to the writers for letting the essence be back today and not detouring into dumb/forced MUs further.

What really cracked me up was the entire last bit where she kept declaring she'll walk away but still paused in b/w expecting him to stop her and then feeling upset all over again when he didn't😆

Jokes aside, I did love the fierceness with which Anika carried herself...the way she said, "Mujhe apne ghar ka raasta maaloom hai", wiped her tears and walked off...even as you could feel her breaking inside...wanting so badly that he stop her but still having enough pride to keep walking away...she's one strong girl despite everything.

After this, kahaani mein twist...lol Harneet sets up a scene to have OmRu peppering Shivaay with all the questions fans have...why did he not stop Anika? Does he really believe she filed the police complaint? Does he really think Anika's responsible for Pinky's condition? 😆😆...and HS is like doston, aao mere saath amnesia waala drug peeyo, sab bhool jaao and REJOICE cuz Shivaay never really lost faith in Anika, didn't blame her for ANYTHING😆...jokes apart, I did like this scene as a Shivaay talked maturely about what happened...how he realized ultimately that both him and Anika were just playing into Bua's hands by misunderstanding each other when they both know they can't live without each other...lol HS even managed to make Billu more mahaan by showing he's actually PROTECTING Anika from Bua by not getting her home yet until he can sort out Bua😆

Cuz lo and behold suddenly Shivaay's entire Pooja reveal was all "part of the plan"😆 cuz he just got tired of being blackmailed and FINALLY decided to bait Bua into confessing...yeh idea pehle nahin aaya😆

And what a high note the epi ended on with Pinky like a fierce tigress waking up from Coma simply to protect her son...Go Pinky! 👏👏😆...despite all the highs and lows, there has only been one consistent thing about Pinky's character...she does EVERYTHING for her son only...even her worst impulses...lol even now she only woke up when Roop was busy talking about killing Shivaay...the way that tear rolled down Coma waali Pinky ka cheek...haha

A deranged Bua beating Shivaay up with the table leg was🤣...but Pinky just trumped all that with a BAT🤣...Cricket fever in IB is really on a high...hahahaha

Jokes apart, NA was awesomee in this scene...so good to see Pinky's fierce protective instinct for Shivaay again and the way she blasted Bua for daring to attack her son

So kal hoga Bua ka final pack up hopefully...good riddance...bahut pakaaya isne.

Looking forward to the Shivika reunion rain scene now :) Jaa Billu, le aa apni Billi ko manaa ke😆

Lol! This cracked me up too! She hesitated twice and stole glances at him, but he is The SSO!

Never gave in! But glad that all MUs sorted out in just two episodes instead of dragging!

This taping in phone - could have been done against so many villains so many times! Glad CVs thought of using this Upaay!

All in all, enjoyable episode! Another funny thing was - these two don't even want to directly look at each other but yet walk the ramp! And shameless reporters are in glee, Solanki forgotten!

Some nice bonding betw bahus-behene and betw AniOmRu and Q&Q sessions from brothers!

Glad Bua will exit soon but contrary to what I thought during the initial new Roop episodes, this one made a mark, daanton daanton mein! And to think she didn't use that phrase today!

Guess she forgot to brush ever since her sundar beta was gone!

This is for all those who doubted Billu 😆

Might just end my vanwas today.

What beautiful n humourous.Just perfect as we would like to read it!

But u forgot The ramp walk of shivika. A lil of your cents on that too please!😳

Haha it's worth ending your vanvaas, trust me :P...ignore some token groupbaazi and Bua ke psycho rants and it's a pretty good epi ;)

One more thing Shivaay gets from his mom fierce protectiveness for people thy love...😎

Anika jada hurt lagi muzhe while Billu full on grumpy mood main thaaa...

Thanks, Thwisha :)

Re: ramp walk...haha frankly the whole idea of the ramp walk just had me laughing ki itne drama ke baad everyone is just coolly ramp walking😆

As for Shivika...the ramp walk was a study in awkwardness...Shivaay was giving Anika the more obvious cold shoulder and focusing more on getting through the ramp walk while Anika was giving him silent entreaty waale looks...overall there was a lot of naraazgi and hurt underscoring that awkward ramp walk...which ultimately probably contributed to Anika saying she won't come home...lol if Shivaay had become normal with her in the ramp walk, Anika may not have been so upset and sab bhul bhulaa ke theek ho jaati😆

But then it was necessary for them to air out their grievances also to manage to finally get past them...so jo hua achha hua :)

LOL hawww who doubted Billu? Humein toh Billu pe pura bharosa tha ki woh kar hi dega end mein sab theek...but woh end ITNI jaldi aa jaayega, that was the unexpected pleasant surprise😆

But then maybe not so surprising also cuz with these two it's always a matter of when they finally get tired of holding on to their hurt and realize that it's all futile...they have to go back to each other cuz they can't live without each other.

I'm frankly happy about the epi also cuz I didn't feel so disconnected to Anika anymore...they allowed her to express her grievances properly today without giving her stupid dialogues about sab vehem tha...today she was mainly just a roothi hui biwi wanting to draw out a reaction from Shivaay😆

I hope the KM saga has ended once and for all now...good riddance to this dragged out mess😆

LOL yeah, this Bua deffo did more damage than expected...I also initially dismissed her as a caricaturish joker of a villain in the beginning seeing how Veer never amounted to much either...but she actually managed to inflict some damage...only cuz writers were in the mood I guess...so they conveniently twisted events around for Shivika to fall for this.

I guess the actress fancies herself to be quite a method actress...she's been building up Bua's unraveling since Veer's death...lol in every subsequent scene, she's shown Bua looking more and more deranged...even in the way she was talking to Pooja on the phone...and today she finally looked fully unhinged enough to act rashly😆😆
