UPDATE FOR 19TH MAY, 2005 - KRIPA CONFESSES HER LOVE TO ANGAD!
WRITER'S NOTE : After all the hoo-haa today of mistaken identities and Canines and stuff, I think I am ready to do a spicy, Chilly update today! I am writing this prior to the episode (its 7:50 Pm India time) I have no idea how good or bad or indifferent today's episode is going to be, but I am putting in my best! Hope you enjoy it!
HIGHLIGHTS
PRITHVI IS THE FIRST TO CONFESS HIS LOVE TO KRIPA BUT, BUT, BUT…………KRIPA IS THE FIRST ONE TO SAY ''I LOVE YOU'' TO ANGAD! I was jumping all over the room and my aunty was wondering if all the years of burying my head in books has finally taken its toll on me!!!
And, and, and we were a witness to not one but two passionate hug's by Angad and Kripa, WOW….my eyes were out of my socket when I saw it! Angad had some rather emotional and deep expressions today and he acted his usual self – brilliant! Kripa looked extremely pretty today and her expression were so good, especially when she is getting decked up for the engagement ceremony and then when she imagines Angad instead of Prithvi as she goes to the hall. Prithvi looked very cute in the Sherwani and poor thing, felt so bad for him! I think all the characters acted brilliantly today, and it was a very emotional, touching and heart-breaking episode. My heart went out to Angad, Kripa and Prithvi! Its tough not to sympathize with any one of them!
ANGAD IN THE OUTHOUSE (or someplace else, couldn't guess!)
Angad is shown sitting alone in a house (wonder who's?) and is completely disturbed and emotionally shattered and is busy staring at the fire-place where a fire is raging (A fire-place in Mumbai?) Angad cannot get rid of Kripa's thoughts are remembers the rainy night when he had put lipstick on Kripa's forhead and his eyes well up with tears as he remembers Kripa telling him how important is sindoor for her and how much significance she attaches to it. Angad is not able to come to terms with his behaviour towards Kripa and gets very restless thinking about her. Just then he sees Kripa standing at the door-step (the curtains are flying and basically the symbolism was shown that the disturbance in the atmosphere outside and Angad's mental turmoil) Angad's face lights up as a smile comes through his tears and he utters ''Kripa, tum aagayi, mujhe yakin tha ki tum mere paas zaroor aaogi.'' (Awww, poor baby, how much he misses her!) As he goes near Kripa (who was looking ethereal, btw) and lifts his palm to touch her cheeks, Kripa vanishes and Angad realizes that he was hallucinating! Angad shrugs and the tears begin to flow openly as he realizes how badly he misses Kripa and how deeply he has fallen in love with her without even realizing it all the while.
THE KHANNA HOUSE (Kripa getting decked)
Meanwhile, Kripa is shown to get decked by her Mother in the Khanna House and she looks ravishing in a Orange, fish-cut lehenga and some really good jewellery (Kundan, I think….Naina must have lent it out to her, anything to get rid of Kripa, this woman, I tell you) and as Gayatri puts one piece of jewellery after another, her eyes well up with tears as she remembers Angad putting lipstick on her forehead and all that special moments she shared with him, good and bad and her throat chocks up as she just cannot forget Angad for the life for her!
THE OUTHOUSE (Angad realizing his love for Kripa and missing her badly)
Simultaneously, Angad is shown to get more and more restless and is now crying openly remembering Kripa. (Angad's expressions were a million dollars, he was just amazing in this scene and even though Kripa was not with him, you could feel their chemistry and you could actually feel their pain….man, it was really touching!) Kripa is meanwhile looking completely heart-broken (poor thing) and as Gayatri brings her downstairs, Prithvi gives her the most love-lorn expression (you do feel bad for this one at times, not his fault if he fell in love) and Kripa meanwhile has only Angad's thought in her mind and heart and as she looks at Prithvi, an endearing smile spreads over her face as she see's Angad's face instead of Prithvi and then her expression changes when she realizes its Prithvi! (Lovely acting by Kripa, her expressions were extremely good)
Angad meanwhile has poured himself a drink and as he looks into the fire raging in front of his eyes which are filled with tears of remorse and longing. The title song plays in the background with different lyrics which talks about Angad realizing what love means and what Kripa means to him. The tears just don't stop flowing from his eyes and he is extremely emotional and shattered.
KHANNA HOUSE (Engagement Ceremony going on)
As Kripa takes the ring in her hand and a happy beyond belief Prithvi stretches out his finger, Kripa's soul shivers as she remembers Angad putting lipstick on her forehead and she just cannot come to terms with her thoughts.
OUTHOUSE (Angad getting drunk and emotional)
Meanwhile Angad is getting really drunk and crying like a baby and as he turns toward the door to see if Kripa has actually come back to him, his face lights up even as his tears do not stop flowing, Kripa is standing at the door-step, decked in her bridal couture, looking like an angel and her eyes are filled with tears too, but her face is bright and aglow with love. The title track starts playing (only the music) in a happy mode and as a stunned Angad keeps staring at Kripa standing there, we come to know that love is indeed in the air now! (It was such a romantic moment and so beautifully shot, flowing curtains, rain pouring outside, the fire raging inside – ooooh, amazing, just amazing!)
OUTHOUSE (AMAZING HUG BY KRIPA AND ANGAD)
Kripa just keeps staring at Angad and she runs toward him and throws herself upon him as Angad instinctively takes her in his arms (and what arms man, those masculine, strong, loving arms, which woman won't melt in them…sigh!) and holds her by her slender waist (it was so romantic, the way he holds her waist, almost send shivers down my spine!) and the songs plays in the background where the female voice says ''Jo chu liya aaj tumnein, jee lenge hum phir who lamhe….'' Kripa and Angad are both crying and smiling at the same time and are in a tight hug as the barriers of hatred and misunderstanding melts in one instance and love spreads its glowing light in their lives! Amazingly passionate scene and the way Kripa's expression's change as Angad touches her body and soul, it was just too passionate and romantic! Angad's eyes have this fanatical madness for Kripa in them, and in love, they discover the meaning of each other's presence! The scene is cut-shot with Angad and Kripa not letting go of one another, Kripa's hands are on Angad's shoulder's and Angad is still holding Kripa's waist as they keep looking into each other's eyes, with a myriad of emotions, as if discovering and undiscovering each other in one instance!
THE KHANNA HOUSE (Prithvi tells Kripa that he loves her and always will as Kirpa denies any emotion other than respect for Prithvi)
The next scene shows the flashback of the engagement, where Kripa's hands shiver as she is about to put the ring in Prithvi's finger but she cannot hold back her tears anymore and looks away from Prithvi, uttering in a strangled voice that she cannot go through with this and she cannot get engaged with him. Prithvi looks as if the Earth has just shattered and gobbled him up, he is shocked beyond belief at Kripa's direct refusal and the tears in her eyes. As an equally shocked Suryabhaan is about to ask Kripa for an explanation, Prithvi takes charge of the situation and tells everyone that he wants to have a word in private with Kripa (loved him for taking this stand, this is what Prithvi is all about!) Prithvi and Kripa are alone now, where Kripa is crying her heart out as Prithvi asks her what is wrong and why did she refuse so suddenly. An amazing scene follows between both of them where Kripa utters some rather touching and deep dialogues, I remember one which I am jotting down, she says that in every relationship, there should be equality. You need love for love and similarly respect for respect. You cannot replace respect with love. As a heart-broken Prithvi listens, Kripa says that she has tremendous respect for Prithvi but for the life of her she has never loved him and she cannot ever love him. Kripa says that if she goes ahead with this relationship, she would not only be falsifying herself but also insulting Prithvi's feelings, as she can never give love to Prithvi, because she doesn't feel that way for him and has never felt so. Prithvi is not crying but definitely has his heart-broken in a bad way, but in his own dignified manner tells Kripa that he knows that he loves her and will continue loving her and he respects her wishes and will adhere to them. As a helpless in love Kripa listens, Prithvi says that he will never love anyone else the way he has loved Kripa and he will live in the hope that someday Kripa might love him back too, but as he says, Kripa's expression tells a different story, that she cannot love anyone the way she has loved Angad! Prithvi tells her that he will handle the situation downstairs and that she should not worry unnecessarily. As they go downstairs, everyone is very tense, and then shocked as Prithvi announces that Kripa and he have decided that they are not going ahead with this engagement anymore and wish to remain friends. Even as Prithvi says this with all the courage and dignity he can muster, Mishti sees the pain in his eyes and cannot stop her tears from flowing (love her for loving her brother so much!) Suryabhaan comes to Prithvi, who has his head bowed down and is trying his level best not to show his pain or his tears (poor thing, he was so miserable, whom to support, I was feeling bad for all of them!) and tells him that it is their misfortune that they have lost a good son-in-law like him and Kripa has lost a good husband in the making. Prithvi looks up at Suryabhaan and tells him that no, it is his misfortune that he could not get Kripa's companionship in life and that any man who will get her love is going to be a lucky one indeed.
As an upset Gayatri prods Kripa for an explanation, Kripa is just not in her control and tells everyone present that she has to go somewhere right not. Gayatri is really angry and Suryabhaan is also shocked, as Kripa, is crying and tells everyone that she has to go somewhere and that no one should stop her today.
OUTHOUSE (Kripa confesses to Angad that she LOVES HIM!)
The next scene shows Kripa and Angad together in the room, and we realize that Kripa has just told him all that happened. Angad is both happy and crying and quite confused as he lets go of Kripa and asks her in a chocked voice why did she do this? Kripa is shattered as she listens to Angad and goes away from him and in a classy piece of acting by Kripa, tells Angad that he is asking her why she did not get engaged to Prithvi? Kripa asks Angad does he still not realize why was the reason that she left everyone behind, broke every barrier of society and decency and came to him? Angad is very confused and looks at Kripa for an answer. Kripa's tears are flowing openly as she confesses loud and clear that, the reason for my doing this was because, '' I LOVE YOU ANGAD''. Angad looks as if the earth and sky have come together for a tango and the Camera pans on Kripa's face which is tearful yet radiant and Angad looks as if he has been hit by a 10 ton rock on his head! (Men, I tell you, will never understand things of heart!) Kripa then smiles through her tears as she repeats again that she loves Angad and Angad breaks into a jubilant smile as Kripa rushes to him again and both of them are wrapped in a tight embrace and cry and smile together!
CHILLY COMMENT'S (Aaj forum mein waise bhi bahut tadka tha, isliye aaj mera comment pheeka hi le lo, guys!)
What an episode, What an episode! Sometimes, one is left speechless, and today is one of those times, when I am so shaken up by viewing something on television, that I have no words to put across!
Angad, Kripa and Prithvi rocked the show today! It was impossible not to feel for any one of them, all the three crackled and sizzled! But yes it was Angad and Kripa who just let ablaze the entire KYPH sets today! Nitica, your electro-sphere has gone for a sixer, we need something much more for these two. Aag laga di aaj to. My God, that scene where Angad holds Kripa by her waist was just too much! My adrak waali chaai fell on my new track-pants, I was so full of excitement! Angad and Kripa's chemistry was just incredible, outstanding, zealous and ardent. It was passion and innocence at its best. The way Angad looks at Kripa when she tells him that she loves him was…………guys, just understand what I am trying to convey, it cannot be put in mere words!
As far as the performance goes, Iqbal, Neha and Prithvi were at its zenith! Neha should have silenced all her critics today (including me) she looked beautiful and innocent and her acting was superb and flawless. I think the scene where she declares her love to Angad was so astounding and marvelous, she was completely mind-blowing and startling today!
What can I say about Iqbal, this guy is gonna go really far! The way his looks changes from one of pure evil, to one of a brat, to one of a little lost boy, to one of madly in love, to one confused about his feelings is just amazing. Where the hell was he all these years. Indian Television desperately needs talents like him to enlighten and entertain the audience! I think the best Angad scene was when he imagines Kirpa to have come back to him and then realizing that it was but a dream! You could actually feel the character's pain and longing!
Prithvi, Prithvi, Prithvi…..why did you love someone from who you will never receive love back! God, when Kripa tells him that she has never loved him and can never love him, the way his face falls, it was just heart-breaking. It was impossible not to feel sympathetic towards him. And the best part about Prithvi today was the dignity with which he handles the entire situation. I loved the part where he confesses to Kripa that he loves her and understands the fact that she doesn't but that won't stop him from loving her ever. That is true love, unselfish, unmotivated and undemanding! Amit was outstanding today and brought across Prithvi's innate decency and depth beautifully! More of this Amit and less of the puppy face's buddy!
A STANDING OVATION TO THE FABULOUS TRIO OF ANGAD, KRIPA AND PRITHVI FOR CREATING MAGIC ON SCREEN!
A fabulous and unforgettable episode, something which will be etched in our memories for a long, long, long time to come! Ekta has proved that however terrible a producer she might be and how-ever perverted her story-lines are, she is the master when it comes particular scenes and sequences!
