Umm- today's episode was one of the most powerful, and important ones they've shown since the fashion show scenario where they first met. If they are to fall in love, dont they kind of have to understand basics about each other such as, I dont know, that they are both orphans, and are both suffering from almost identical losses? That there is a real person within the ASR persona, and that person isn't a cruel man, but a gentle, generous, one? And important-this humane man is there to be found within ASR even when Di isnt in the picture?
And so far, I dont think that their personal stories have progressed backwards at all-they've started to protect each other even when there are actions against each other, such as when ASR refused to let Khushi confess to inflicting the burns-even yesterday's HUGELY passionate scene with him yelling at her was about-her hanging up on him when HE called her! And she has been slowly making it clear that she is his equal and wont back down-isnt that excatly what's missing in lavaniya (" react, damn it!") And we did get the whole Lavaniya Vs Khushi dichotomy, and now we know who ASR's instinct will choose when the time comes. Thats progress right?
If you want romance and candle light dinners, check back with the serial in about a year and a half-by then, Im sure Buaji will have married Shyam babua and they'll have romance, hot chai and pakora dates for your viewing pleasure. From today's episode, Im starting to think that Anjali's real competition for Shyam will turn out to be Madhumati Ji herself ! I doubt if we'll reach the typical romance stuff with the main couple soon though, and it wont be the standard mushy balloons and rose petals crap when it does come---- Just a thought...
