Qissa Payal Ka

The entire premise was hilarious...Om out of the blue saying oh things have just been so stressful last few days, let's just have some FUN now...let's play a blindfold game😕😆...and Shivaay for some reason felt his EGO being challenged when his brothers asked him if he could find his wife among 4-5 others...toh he upped the stakes to LAAKHON mein dhund lunga...well that should have been a sign enough that overconfident Billu will khaao muh ki😆 pakka humara clue the woh i was like ab karega mess itna ooncha gup jo maara hai😆😆 Oh billu humesha aisa rehne main kya takleef hoti hai tujhe but glad to see this familiar namoona back who is ego ka maara

First ofcourse, Shivika had to have a brief awkward moment to kick things off😆

This very tiny bit in the beginning of the payal scene but I loved how Anika also turned her face away in displeasure as he started to walk towards Tia...lol dono gusse mein muh phulaa rahe the ziddi bacche that is that. i was like dekhega phir bhi pehle anika ko hi even though he meant tia but eyes kaafi hopeful thi woh toh aniak ne moonh pher liya and yeh tia ki taraf chala gaya majbooran 😆

Anika's reaction was pretty real koi bhi horrible feel karega in that situation and am glad she turned her face aside and wasn't keen on seeing this innovative rasam. his eyes are almost seekign her permision in the first cap ke jaaoon ke nahin?😆😆

The saving from the fire bit was so lulzily shot...he was standing so far away, pata nahi kaise split second mein aa gaya Anika ko haath se pull over karne ke liye and it looked more like someone pushed her rather than pulled her...lol

But the way he was going crazy fussing over her and peechhe se Om started clapping and that broke the spell and made Mr. SSO realize ki OOPSIE kuch zyada hi fikar dikhaa di sabke saamne...do din mein "beast" bukhaar utar gaya iska...lol as lulzy as it was i just loved how restless he got kaise blindforld uttar ke phenka and started fussing over her. Billu maane ya na maane saansein toh ruk hi gayi thi iski. the actual moment was acha and bilkul aisa laga jaise humara RU shivaay hi hai. Now a lot of people have issues with it ke raat ko chod dia blah blah toh fake concern hai. i strongly disagree with that people need to remember that whatever happened that night was also being executed by Awasthi he made sure to turn it so ugly to make him turn a blind eye be as cruel as he can be to make sure he wins the challenge because according to his plan all that could've been enough to send any girl away but abhi anika ko jaanta nahi hai. SHivaay was overtaken by hate and bling rage and now that the more i think about it his entire possessed body language kind of makes more sense to me that night . strong emotions and all toh tha hi to push him in such a deranged state but on top of that he was also a puppet in Awasthi's hand and then too he did indeed stop to look at her in teh mirror toh jasie bhi in chota mota way then too rU shivaay did rebel but his anger and hate and indifference dikhane ka bhoot took over.

while in situations like this the RU universe fights back strongly esp when her life is at stake and aaj bhi wohi hua he momentarily forgot all the ugliness all the awkwardness and haq se pulled his Biwi & started fussing and then changed it in the pyar se bhari daant ke jalne ka bohat shauk hai tumhein. i knwo he was trying to be rude but muje toh usme bhi pyar hi dikha iska hidden and pyar aa gaya iss wale billu pe bhi... melt ho rahi hoon main bhi issi speed se jisse billu ho raha hai anika ke liye i need better self control. abhi mujhe naaraz rehna hai isse

The way he suddenly switched to SCOLDING her for being so close to the fire so that he can cover up how much concern he was showing was hilarious...haha funny toh tha hi dekho toh rang hi udh gaya hai billu ka peela padh gaya and itna kuch hua bhi nahi aag toh lagi bhi nahi abhi 😆😉😉 him trying to harden himself up going into character of angry billu in 5th cap is so amusing like come on kisko ullu bana rahe ho. bahah he actually needed a moment to bring that sakhtness on his face to pretend ke he isn't affected and all and rather mad. yeh kaisa ghussa hai ke dikhane ke liye itni mehnat karni padti hai

Anika was like WHATEVER, dude...lol

Jokes apart, what this scene showed was the really tenuous hold Shivaay has on his instinct to protect Anika...if he sees her in danger or hurt, he rushes to save her, loses it in worry, fusses over her. Exactly that fear still dries up his blood in his veins . partly that fear only drove himt o pull the crazy shit he pulled that night that Nikhil le jaayega hamesha ke liye isse

Now some ppl will logically question then what about all the crap he's been doing and saying since the last many epis? And to that I say...apart from developing some amnesia for your sanity😆...the point that seems to be coming across here is that Shivaay is an emotionally volatile being in this redux...so his anger, his words may have been quite heinous in the last week or so but he couldn't hold on to all that venom...least of all when it comes to Anika. Since the past some epis, it's been apparent he's been using extra ugly insults and words to push her away from himself cuz he feels so utterly helpless in front of her...it's a defense mechanism for him...he feels he weakens around her, gets reeled in by her somehow and he wants to barricade himself against it...by hurting her so much that she just leaves...except too bad for him, she didn't...and now even as her nautankis drive him up the wall, he softens towards her helplessly...like he did in yesterday's pooja scene...and today again the moment he heard she might be in danger...it's a paradox but there it is...that's how we're suppose to take it😆 again i totally agree all this just combined with what i said uppar is what is makign him behave in such a bipolar way as i said his tries to harden himself were also so obvious in how he took a moment to bring that facade adorn that mask on his face to act indifferent it did not come naturally at all to him.

Continuing on, we then got the lulzy payal scene😆

This scene served many purposes...lol it gave many ppl the satisfaction of seeing Shivaay bend before Anika, touch her feet in retaliation for how he had once just left her broken enough to fall at his feet...then it also managed to show those oh so magical payals manage to land on Shivaay's real wife who is now the "Laxmi" of this house...then it also managed to do the EPIC CHOP of Mr. overconfidence here leaving him flabbergasted at the fact that he put the payal on Anika after all😆 ah his smug you see i know my wife and then again being totally shocked to seee ke he indeed was right apni wife ko toh pehnchanta hi hai was worth popcorn aaj😆

Then came Anika's nautanki with the payal in the room...lol

This scene was quite nicely shot waise with the window framing her and Anika looked so elegant admiring the payals...lol and then the switch to amused nautanki smirks...smirking really suits SC WAY more than abla naari mode...haha ...and the lighting in this scene suited her makeup better than the lighting for the main hall/pooja scene jahaan pe foundation looked mismatched to me.

And aaj toh VASEPHOD couple ban gaye dono with Shivaay also smashing a vase...lol jab tak tod phod na kar lein, Shivika lagte hi nahin Tod phod is in the khoon and that gives me so much sukoon am glad these outbursts are happening . they are becoming more and more familiar in these harkatein. iss baar budget issues hain toh phones se vases pe aa gaye hain😆😆😆 but her biting her tongue after he breaks the vase was a special fun and cool moment for me and then she maze se walks away jhoomti jhamti leaving him totally baffled. she indeed looked so pretty and am glad for the lighting too anything to dim that ugly jungle bg of the room. plz koi blue room laa do. it is almost 3 months with this but abhi bhi lagta hai ek dum kuch aur hi bilkul apna nahi lagta familiar nahi feel hota . her comeback awas quiete fun ke kyon doon payalkhud uttar lo hahha he was totallyspeechless😆😆sadta kudta reh gaya

have to add here it was not only Prinku coming out of coma but actually shivaay coming out of it along with her too along witht he cufflink him joining dots starting to have doubt in his head in regards to D. repeating the events in his head. very happening indeed. i also liked that he instantly wanted to clear it off with Anika and wanted to confront her right away instead of bringing his ego in mid. without any qualms he actually wanted to talk to her. his eyes following her was such a nice moment. supposedly he should've been focused on behan only but even thought she came back to life after many days he followed the girl he considers the baap of all villains

Although in the narrative this scene may feel like it came a bit too fast in some ways, but NM performed the corridor scene so convincingly, you buy into Shivaay's confused emotions, his need to reach out to Anika in that moment...awkwardly making some kind of convo...anything to be able to talk to her...haltingly asking her ki P kaise uthi, were you with her? it was hands down my fav fav scene of the night. he just needed to connect to her in that moment kaise bhi he did needed that emotional support too in a way he just had to share his relief the burdened that just got lifted off his shoulders his khushi with someone and who better than anika. it was very layered scene where he not only shared how he is relieved and happy but also that she is just as important to him too though he may not admit right away but his actions show exactly that.What an improvement this guy is now thankful for Her out of all people Being with prinku in the moment she came out of her sleep. the very girl he accused of her being in that state in first place. what an irony but wonderful stuff from NM here he totally managed to bring out the feelings made me connect to shivaay & his state of mind

The "koi APNA" moment i am feels deprived and this gave me solid wale feels Poignant ratings= A good A

And then the attempt to cover up again by making a poker face...lol

This little moment when Anika turns to walk away again and he just blurts out her name again...then stutteringly blabs something about "Prinku..woh"...and then shuts down abruptly and just runs from there...lol...NM performed this really nicely again he just couldn't afford her leaving him tehre he just needs that support to feel the moment is real that indeed his sister is back he just needs that saath in that moment so kuch bhi blabbing. her being just at the same place even though emotionally so distant right now in such a big mess was enough for him to unwind but then he got confused leaving her even more confused with that random walking away caz it was becoming harder for him to not melt like butter & being rude to put that mask back on so best option was to leave

I think it was a good thing that they showed Shivaay finding the cufflink before this scene...he had already softened a bit towards Anika by that point in some ways...and then with Prinku waking up from her coma, it was like the raging storm inside him finally calmed down enough for his saner emotions and thoughts to come through again...his perspective towards Anika was no longer one of blinded rage driven by his pain over his sister but now that his sister was fine, his mind and his heart felt cleared up again in many ways...

So then it's interesting that as soon as that storm calms, his first instinct is to run after Anika...a need to seek her out, talk to her, haltingly needing to make some kind of convo...I feel NM sold this scene today with some lovely acting👏 exactly it took a big tension off his shoulders he no longer felt responsible for his sister's situation and it gave him enough perspective to think clearly it cleared out the fog on his mind it just instantly calmed him down mentally and emotionally. he was in a much better place to think to rationalize to think practically to weigh out his kaand to think logically and to finally being able to see through the girl again the cufflink instantly gave her an upper hand which provided him with a reason not to hold her guilty any further until he talks to her in regards to that matter and it was rather very Impressive. i know many of us are like itna bipolar hai itna unreal hai he is this and that but in real life situations many of us would've behaved exactly like him in that situation maybe not go to the R word level but what i mean by that is do crazy things we say we will never do but jab aisa situation aata hai in that fit of anger it is rather very hard to predict how one will react. you can'/ even predict for yourself forget about a fictional character. again am not justifying what he said and did but rather that now once he will calm down am sure he will make up for it .

OmRu are just awesome shippers of their bhabhi. I do fail to understand the sudden turn where Anika is concerned. They barely spoke to her in this season and they are trying hard to patch things up between them by shoving, taunting and manipulating Shivika. LOL yes they were made to flip overnight into being Anika superfans and actively shipping Shivika simply cuz Shivaay married her...otherwise they barely ever thought about her or talked about her😆

Similarly, Shivaay barely spared a glance at Tia all through this redux...now all of a sudden he is trying to call her "dil se patni" and thumbing her in everyone's face as his "wife"...lol...HS does so love her flips.

As for the whole payal scene, Rudy caught the name on the phone. wonder if he will mention it to Shivaay, whose brain seems to be cleansed of the raging fire. The vasephod couple have begun with a bang, wonder when the water throwing will begin... Yes, it seems likely that Rudy will go tell Shivaay and then maybe OmRu could be in on the whole plan to expose D as well...Shivika have already started smashing things, means water throwing or pool throwing might be just around the corner again😆

Wonder what is coming next if this is wrapped so quickly... there is still the matter of SSO getting out of the engagement/arrangement with Tia that he had. Rather Tia has her claws in Shivaay and will it be a showdown of the brother-sister pact to win over the Oberois wealth and fame.

Yes, it remains to be seen where this goes post D's exposure...I won't say D's exposure is being wrapped up too quickly...it was long overdue and he's overstayed his time in this redux...but yeah I was surprised to see Shivaay piecing everything together so quickly...still, wouldn't be the first time IB has sped up suddenly...let's see when they hit the brakes again...if D is exposed, dunno how the ShiTia engagement will be still on...as I was saying elsewhere, the angle then might be flipped to Shivaay thinking he should divorce Anika to free her to marry Nikhil and that might lead to the next phase of angst b/w Shivika.
