NM is doing so good in this + they are just adding so much more hollowness and emphasis on his eyes making them look way more glassy then they are and man it hits you in the right spot. i love the layers they have added to shivaay his scene with tia was really interesting to watch to understand where he is coming from why he is so aloof but plz can someone just comfort him. worry about him

dadi bhi ro do ke apna rant karke nikal leti hain and don't even try to help him in any way or comfort him in anyway like seriously what kind of grandma is this . again Nm was so good in the scene with dadi just barely reacting but reacting enough to hit you straight in the feels. i definitely want to see more of this side

about anika i am glad she gathered herself and showed some of her anika traits as funny as the plastic jars getting burned scene was i watched it on repeat and claps for aniak and SC bringing the confidence out but making it different adn variation of old khidkitod anika. here i felt for this girl being burdened with everything but today i saw that never give up attitude with all her expenses and all she is still trying to have all these expenses covered and that too alone protecting her sister not only that uthaooying the burden of her useless boyfriend too lole wow kya cheez hai woh . hope iss abri robin ko replace kar de in tia ki life

So much word to the nuances you pointed out...honestly even though we don't get any references to kanji aakhein in this AU, NM is really good at showing vulnerability through his eyes...there is a very delicate kind of softness in them these days in this hollow sa Shivaay...the glassy eyed look you mentioned...a perpetual grief...even though the reason in the show is said to be Shinky's deaths, for some reason that grief still seems more connected to losing Anika...that feeling of him having lost something so profound without really knowing what he has lost...just this grief that exists in every pore of his body...NM has incorporated it into all of Shivaay's body language in this AU also...he's grieving for something that he can't even pinpoint. And it feels even more sad cuz no one around him seems to notice either...as if in this AU, this perpetually grieving and closed off Shivaay is a basic given. exactly what i felt and it just makes it so much more painful to watch him this lost and not even knowing why he is so upset. it is definitely not caz og shinky alone. he is basically missing his other half a part of his soul is gone and he is just lost without her and what misery that they don't even know that. ek dum khokla and khali he seems to be actually both of them but more so shivaay because he absolutely have noone to make him smile while anika gets those slight smiles through her siblings .In shivaay's case it is like he is just waiting for something to happen and end his misery he is literally dragging himself to do the chores to live through. there is just nothing left him kuch bhi nahi except this moroseness . what do appreciate is that despite all that he is mentally strong in the sense that he is not into self harm

The scene with Tia again had interesting shades added in that didn't exist in the previous Shita equation...last time Tia was self-absorbed and comical with her Universe and Reiki lines...Shivaay seemed to tolerate her idiosyncracies at best...this Tia seems to crave Shivaay's affection more and he's more upfront with her about how their relationship is than the previous Shivaay who barely bothered discussing the status of their relationship with Tia...there was a kind of compassion in Shivaay today saying then don't marry me if you love me...it was a tragic sort of compassion but it was there...he wished Tia well and truly didn't want her to attach herself to a broken soul like him...the previous Shivaay wasn't like this. ...I liked that ending bit when she says that you'll fall in love with me after marriage and all he does is look at her and then switch the subject to "Mandir jaana hai"...NM really is doing so so well, man.

yup i liked the bond here too and man his abrupt switches like mandir jaana hai today just make you feel even more for him the way he just switches the conversation when it gets too much for him and he is left with no answer the way he just says these end of conversation lines are seriously too good . i do hope he manages to share more with tia. he needs to take his bottled up emotions out. this is eating him inside but then again idk how can he exactly do that when he really doesn't even know the reason behind it . now here's i;ve seen plenty of judaais and sad heroes but Nm is really bringing something quite new with his enactment . have hardly seen someone do this phase so subbdued and in an understated way. he isn't screaming crying asking for attention drinking or anything yet his pain just comes across. normally these are the avenues where heroes go become devdad wallow in self pity and i really really appreciate and applause the makers for this caz i wouldn't be able to see Shivaay like that ever . word about his compassion towards Tia that really was something . so brutally honest and painful i actually felt for tia there too for a moment but then i appreciate him telling herr don't throw yourself in a living hell knowing it that you won't get anything except pain and grief so decide. nwo again this si what is setting hima side from other usual heroes

Then there's SC...she has less to play with than NM at this point for her character but I absolutely loved the shades she brought out today...the effort is obvious in trying to show a still resilient and fierce Anika underneath all those layers of sharaafat and accommodation...the other thing I have to commend SC for is the softness she's added to Anika through her body language...she smiles indulgently at Gauri but a perpetual pain lingers in her eyes also...the smile never fully reaches her eyes, never fully blooms on her face...it's a held back smile...she battles her own demons vis a vis craving izzat in society...they've both been given reasons for their grief in this AU but cuz of the tremendous history b/w them, the grief still feels more about the fact that they are apart and thus incomplete.

what is even more commendable is the character sketch they've given her is quite similar to her previous show and previous role yet the girl just feels like different person here. many of the experienced veterans fails to bring that pain out in such an excellent way this is once again proof of her commendable talent. It is very hard to control and bring that right emotion but she is just killing it with that emotion that expression it stays with you . the kind of emotion that stays with you and haunts you and you can't get it out of your head for a long period of time

I hope the writers capitalize on what they have here with these two tremendous performers capable of adding so many nuances even now👏👏 really hope so too

Anika believes in marriage for she believes that brings in izzat more so because she experiences society's callousness in judging her mother. Since Chachi ranted the 'rakhel angle, I wonder will she be in a simular situation with Shivay. Forced shadi bhi huyi toh shaadi hi hai. Curious about that. SC...Kya kahoun...It's wonderful to see her variate even as Anika smiles at Gauri, she smiles but the happiness doesn't seem to reach her eyes.

Mandir Scene...Let's see what it brings forth.
