I really like how thoughtful and careful cvs are , the story and sequences make perfect sense always. There is sense to their method and that is very heart-warming, what can go just as some mindless mush , turns out so significant. 👏

Honestly the treatment given in the show is like a breath of fresh air and it really doesn't seem like such care would be taken towards a youth based show...the makers are handling the show so well that I reckon their counterparts could learn a thing or two from them!

It was nice to see Nandu being so hesitant , it shows that the hug affected her too. The peace was felt by her as well . But she , like him will now struggle to word it. Specifically because not only is she discovering the real Manik but he is leaving a big impact on her . When she advises him or guides him in the emotional mix, the after-effects make her a different person too. He is her evolution in many ways. It was such a special moment when she tried easing her worrying lines , that gesture spoke so much about - Why Nandu , for him? Because she is the only one noticing the burden Manik shoulders being the leader of Fab5.

I expected this reaction from a girl like Nandu...that initial feeling of awkwardness of hesitancy that comes with new found feelings was portrayed very well...I like the care they're showing one another now...Manik isn't abrasive towards her and Nandini is more aware of him viscerally...What I like about them is they both help each other to grow...emotionally as well as mentally...He might call her dumb at times but Nandini's words to him are like gold...He actually listens when she's giving advice and takes it heart.

Cabir-Raghav

I am not comfortable with Raghav maintaining his distance. I can understand his cynicism but this is basically use and throw of Cabir. Raghav if is aware of social repercussions then he should have been more clear to Cabir and shouldn't have entered into a relationship with a student. He cannot be the only one dictating the pace of their relationship. My heart goes out for Cabir, and bravo Ayaz for portraying him so wonderfully.

I agree with you here...to me it just seems like he wants to clip Cabir's wings and bind him...with the way Cabir is and his views on love this is only going to end up suffocating him...Raghav seems to be the teacher here in many more ways than one...I wouldn't be surprised if Raghav is the only one that Cabir has been with and because of that he's the one dictating the terms of the relationship...Being a teacher though, if he knew what the repercussions are he should NEVER have initiated the relationship...

Navya

She is superficial. Rather taking note of the pain and warning Mukti gave her, she again chose to interpret is as per her convenience . Will she ever be able to recover from the bubble?

To be honest this girl irritates me to no end! She has her head way above the clouds and is selective in her dealings with people...I had a feeling that the only thing she'd take away from her confrontation with Mukti is that she doesn't look the part...she obviously turned a deaf ear to Mukti saying Harshad is just playing with her feelings and if he loved her she wouldn't be safe...She desperately needs a rude awakening!

Dhruv-Alya

Here it was good Alya spelled it out for Dhruv that he is hiding behind the excuses which are baseless. If Manik can accept him with his fits, his silence then fab5 would never oppose his happiness too. He needs to talk, than assume things. Alya is honest and a good influence on him. Her advise was nice, though we know there is an extrapolation to it but it's ok , she isn't shoving him onto Nandu, as yet.

I actually liked how Alya laid it on the line to Dhruv, even if she did so with ulterior motives there was truth to her words...The problem with Dhruv is he's too closed off from the others and doesn't talk about his feelings...not even to Manik...instead he tries to find his answers using Google which isn't doing him any favours!

Nandu-Dhruv

Loved this scene so much. Seriously, good on Nandu for finally having the spine and giving it good to Dhruv. He was taking her for granted. She is his friend and even though she has never given up on him still it doesn't mean he can be the only one making decisions in their bond. The confusion was only in his head . He didn't ask Manik or fab5 , when he first raised his hand for friendship to her than why worry about them now. Also I feel he although hears her but never internalizes what she is trying to tell him. I feel Dhruv needs to grow a lot as an individual and has to come out on his own.

Nandu has been his friend till now and will be for eternity , but he still has a long way to go in terms of understanding their friendship.

I really enjoyed this scene and loved how Nandini was taunting him...he really deserved it...he keeps blowing hot and cold and only when HE feels like it will go to her...that isn't how friendships work my friend! Nandini and Dhruv are clearly not on the same page...even when it's to do with friendship...Dhruv needs to find his own place before deciding anything where Nandini is concerned...And you're right where Manik listens and takes Nandini's advice, Dhruv on the other hand listens but never takes it in...

Harshad

Was it just me but his reaction about Alya , though understandable was kind of weird too? Probably me , I guess. But these two are really emotionally challenged.

Here's another guy who's always blowing hot and cold...I don't understand him at all! I didn't get his vehemence to be honest...

Nandu was visible upset about Alya-Manik. This confusion is her push-pull as far as realizing her feelings are concerned.

Manik-Nandu

See this is why every scene they have is so beautiful because it's loaded with so much depth. The way he felt the need to explain last night, the urge to explain his mental state. Great build-up. While there he was finding words to explain , she remained nervous because somewhere she liked that he sub-consciously chose her to discuss the shock of his life. Him saying it took her back to the moment and her own joy from it.

The mistake was his easier cover. He is used to doing it. But her acceptance shocked him. The way she was nervously wrestling with that tissue , the hurt was numbing for her, but perhaps the fact that it did hurt , probably was most remarkable for her.

But then ,she is Nandu , his firefly and she showed him the light.

Few episodes back it was Dhruv who was reading TFIOS but today it was Manik and Nandu who lived through one of it's classic lines - ""Maybe 'Okay' will be our 'always'..."

His eyes lit up when she said embrace newer experiences, the hand that shied away from mending her face , became more confident. He tried brushing the earlier hurt and perhaps told her that it wasn't a mistake afterall.

That glow on her face, Precious.

Manik and Nandini's scenes always leave me speechless and this was no different...As you said there's so much depth to them and yet I'm sure this is only the surface...there's much more where that came from...Although he doesn't owe her any explanations I love how he felt the need to clear his stance...Even though Manik termed the hug as a mistake he clearly wanted to say something else, and was probably wanting Nandini to contradict him, though what is the poor girl to say? 😕...The advice that Nandini gives Manik is just so apt, not only in relation to what he's going through with regards to Cabir but also to both their growing feelings for one another...

One thing I realised is that when Dhruv asked Nandini if friendship changes she told him it doesn't and will always remain...maybe not the answer he was looking for...but oh well...

When it comes to Manik though, she never became friends with him and so the changing equations are there to see...

Hi! First time I'm posting on this forum...The show is really amazing! I caught up on all the episodes last week...I had no idea Ayaz was part of KYY and was more than pleasantly surprised to see him here that too in a role so diverse from Raghu of DDEJ!

This serial is all sorts of awesomeness. The level of maturity is so refreshing. Ayaz is fabulous and I am glad he took this role. Young popular actors need to shed their hesitations.

Loved your review and it's always a pleasure to read what one takes away from the episode...

If I'm not mistaken you were in the DDEJ forum too right?

Warmest Welcome😊. It's great how this show makes her discuss so much . Yes, I was on DDEJ forum, probably why I checked Ayaz's new show and viola this happened.
