And she's Khidkitod again - Page 5

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.

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.

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.

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

Doesn't Shivaay's past seem like the CV previous heroes' past...murder suicide of parents...brooding hero, and Annika's new guy friend is like the creepy brother in law of another show...don't mean offend anyone, but new track seems like an plot from an old show

So Annika will not break Shivaay's windshield and ego with her bat??? 😃

No more throwing 'gobar'?? 😆

LOL right now we can't say anything about what this Anika will do...I toh was shocked to even hear her call herself KHIDKITOD even now...haha...so who knows what all she will do when she finally meets Shivaay...whether or not those old traits get reactivated in a different way remains to be seen.

But I'd love to see tadi coming back in some form...cuz Shivika have a way of bringing long dormant things out of each other...they always have :)

I'm curious to see if she calls him a Baaghad Billla again😆
