Seriously, no offense but this Akriti saxena is way too vexatious for my taste. I don't know what it is but whether it is the execution or the character sketch but whenever she's on screen, I feel way too bored and irksome. Mumbling through her teeth, judgemental over age gap (this isn't preference for partner but I felt she was way too chipku on crushing on Anu), making excuses for finishing up incomplete work (trying to cover for being inattentive), etc. 😕
Though he is confused about his feelings pertaining to Gungun, he covered up with an excuse of feeling guilt. Her commentary was slightly disconnecting as a viewer.
Regarding Anu's dialogues where I felt confused was when he mentioned how his workspace and colleagues are apne but later mentioned not mixing professional & personal life in terms of trying to appease akriti saxena.
Even in the previous scene in the college lab, when Anu told her for being inattentive on her work, my expressions were literally for the 7 minutes of the episodes:
Gungun tried her best to connect Akriti to her Bua but Akriti acted like all of this was so frivolous to her.
Even the outlook of the character with those glasses was just too disconnected as a viewer. I don't know but whoever is her stylist, my two cents: it looks irritating.
Also, I wish Gungun could be provided better night suits & the white/cream cardigan just seemed like something was off or disconnecting as a viewer.
