OK before I start my rant ... can I just say HOW MUCH I loved the Samjhaawan sequence ? Yaar CVs ... I love u bass. The MaNan I loved SO much is BACK ... PHEEELz ki toh matlab LAVA eruption ho raha hai. And NITI ... you precious precious child ... ajaaa mai tujhe sonay se bandhwa doon ... Yeh ITNI si bachi ... does these crying scenes SO well, maaai kasam ache ache senior seasoned actresses ki chutti kar deti hai.

The way Nandu cried today ... with helpless abandon ... sobs racking her entire body ... and the way she placed her head on his chest and the tears rolled off her cheeks onto his hand ... it was all just so BEAUTIFULLY done. SO beautifully. I am khushi se SPEECHLESS.

Waise I can ONLY imagine sleepyhead zombie Parth's beinteha KHUSHI with this hospital track 🤣. MAZZAY mein so rahaa hai banda letay parhe while Niti sobs, sobs and SOBS. Array sharm karle Bijli ke khambe ... itni si 2 by 2 bachi ke kandhein pe bandook rakh ke goliyaan chala raha hai -_- šŸ˜†

Waise suna thaa pyaar andha hai. Kya pyaar BEWAKUF bhi hai ? šŸ˜†

Matlab wahan mera Baba aise bimar letaa parhaa hai jaise haath mein infection naa ho, pulmonary oedima ho gaya ho ... and yahaan is Nandu ke kandhe sacrificial bhoot chad gayi hai. I have to go away from you. Arrayy bache ki jaaan legi kya KARAMJALI šŸ˜”šŸ˜† ?!

TOXIC for each other ?! HEIN ?! šŸ˜²šŸ˜† 17 saal ke bachi and ITNI badi badi BAATEIN ?! Teenagers and their overdramatic streak I swear. Ek nikamma nithalla BABA hai jo Dhruv ke crush ke wastay Nandu ke feelings ko hi crushhh kar diya ... aur eik yeh Mahaanta ki Devi , Parvati ki pratima ...Nandu madam ... wants to let him go cuz she thinks it's HER fault Manik's a bull headed stubborn idjit who's only purpose in life is to get some Nandu-lovin' . HADDH hai 😳.

Matlab these two ARE a match made in (Fool's) heaven. Manik ko toh hum gadha bolte thei .. ab pata chal raha hai ke gadha toh gadha , gadhay ki boti bhi CLASS Gadhi !! -__-

Matlab jiss tarha yeh siskiyaan le le ke royi , itna toh Kal Ho Naa Ho mein Preity Zinta bhi nahin royi ... aur wahaan toh bandaa marne ko chal basaa thaa . So WHAT makes this Gadhi think she can walk away from him at THIS juncture ? Ro ro ke ankhein sunjh gayi , saath mein BRAIN bhi swell ho gaya tera ?! Science mein toh 100 mila tha .. bada seena taan ke bolti thi ... zara psychology ka paper toh batao gudiya-raani hum bhi toh dekhe .. ke sirf ANDA mila yaa saath mein MINUS bhi -_-

Till now we have seen Baba chasing Laddoo to the ends of the Earth like a love struck fool ... kabhi creepy stalkerish harkaton se , toh kabhi junoooni zidd se. Kabhi Monster Manik ki threats se toh kabhi MAJNU manik ki tenderness se ... but chase her he did and to WHAT ends. Na time dekha banday ne na place. Even when he let her go , he somehow found his way back to her. And so far we were under the impression that Manik is SO standing in the deeper end of the pool. But today's episode totally negates that ... and we get to see that bachi is JUST as much in love with her gadha. MY PHEEELz . UFF. These bache be the death of me.

Today we FINALLY get to see her side of it all and Samjhaawan playing in the background as heart-wrenching sobs rise from within to rack her tiny tiny frame ... it all just adds up. That glow in her eyes everytime she looks up at him, the way her cheeks have crimson risin' up like nobody's business when he teases her ... that soft look in her eyes when she holds his hand (I swear this bachi LOVES her gadha precious HANDS. So now I dunno yeh Manik ke liye ro rahi hai ya HAATH ke liye šŸ˜†). Yup, madam ke dil ka kaam tamaam. nd psycho Baba be ALL over it.

Ok jokes apart, I mean I get that she thinks back to the time when she egged him on to get his hand looked at and he kept deferring because to him getting her to accept his apology was more important than having a mamuli si kharoch checked out. And she feels guilty for not pushing him ... for letting the apology scene drag till the infection spread to his shoulders. But does the girl not see how DESPERATELY the boy wants her affection and attention? It just goes on to show us something we tend to forget every now and then. That Nandini is a young girl of 17. Nandini only sees the fact that she's the one who put him on that bed, and it's all her fault, While the bigger picture is that Manik is there on that bed BECAUSE of just how much she means to him, and because how much her not accepting his apology affects him, to the ends of making him TOTALLY oblivious to his own deteriorating condition and single-mindedly try to appease her till she gives in. So the enormity of what might happen to him if she leaves him, doesn't really sink in for her. She is basing her decisions on his current condition, but had she been older and of wiser years, his current condition would have been the very reason she would have been unable to leave his side. Manik will go into debilitating self-destruction mode without her and perhaps way too close to the edge. And then it is going to be just so VERY hard for Nandini to bring him back from that.

There was something torturously composite about their these two that drew me to them in the first place. Nothing really is as it seemed with these two. Beneath Nandu's calm exteriors is a fiery streak which while not stubborn or aggressive is EXTREMELY assertive that would show itself in moments of extreme emotional exertions. And just when you think she is all mature and grown up and has everything under control like an adult, her faith wavers, like that of any young girl's, seeing the boy she likes so very much, in such pain and she rethinks all her decisions and starts doubting the viability of their relationship. Similarly Manik was never your regular cocky punk of a bad boy ... beneath his brazen, overbearing devil-may-care attitude exteriors is a warm, sensitive boy of 19, with his fair share of hopes, dreams and insecurities of failing there off . And while he may come off as immature and juvenile about his ways, he loves Nandini with the conviction of a grown man.

There are LAYER after LAYER and SHADE after SHADE to them and each revealing itself in ways and times that are completely unthinkable. They heal each other as much as they hurt. Unfortunately, togetherness is something Manik at this point cannot for the life of him convince Nandini for .. but luckily distancing herself from Manik is something Nandini, try as hard as she does, just cannot afford to. Two ppl who's destinies are so inherently intertwined ... two people who are just so meant to be, that time and place would tip itself over to make it happen. So when that moment of absolute finality and surrender to the ways of fate and that of love arrives .. what happens ?

Will Nandini's doubts undo what Manik's perseverance has made this relationship to be so far? Will it be that easy for her to walk away ? Or will providence show that its plans are SO much bigger than a young girl of her years can ever imagine ?

Today's Samjhawaan sequence was not only beautiful to watch but also VERY significant. In showing us that this is a love that runs as deep as it hurts. And only the passage of time will fix the mess these two have created for themselves in a heady irrationality that can only be blamed on their youth. And that just as Manik found his attempts at driving her away so she could be happier with someone else, to be no dice, Nandini too will realize the futility of trying to walk away from him.


P.S.: Jo bhi res karraha hai. If you do not edit ur res, Remember I WILL hunt you down ... and pee in your favourite mug/ cereal bowl 😳

Beautiful post RAFZ.

How beautiful was this episode,yes totally a tear-jerker episode but by God what a masterpiece of a love story they will be carving out of two teenage lovers, if they continue on the right track.

For me I feel that Manik and Nandini havent really understood the depth of their love. Like I mentioned in the AT earlier, young love is meant to be sweet and tender and cute, not this desperate need and longing for each other. The bacchas have not even had a proper date,so to speak of, all they shared were hidden moments and yet they have already reached a desperation for each other. He lies in a hospital bed, in pain, oblivious to everything but her. She stands outside, afraid to go in and break her carefully cultivated equilibrium in those moments of madness. And yet all they want is to be with each other. Its too raw, too passionate, too desperate, too unbridled for two young teenage lovers. They will need to understand the depth of their love before they can even confess. How does one term this love and how does one deal with it, when it happens so early in your life. Neither of them,no matter how mature Nandu is, is prepared to deal with the intensity of this kind of love. She will need her space to understand it, as does Manik who doesn't want a name to what he feels, but feels with such emotion that words are inadequate. Bacchas make me maudlin and weepy and running out of tissues.

Separation brings out longing. Neither Manik or Nandu are going to be able to stay away from each other. This is no cutesy love, this is something out of their control. Love happens and it happened to them and neither of them can do anything about it.

The Samajwan sequence was so beautiful, it would have made angels weep. Niti has done a fab fab fab job. No over the top wailing but an understated overwhelming grief of a young girl so madly in love and so fearful for her love. She loves him as much as he does her. Desperate passionate beautiful undying love.

This was so amazing. And funny. And amazing. And...just...ASKHJGHFL.

Edit:

First of all, lemme give you a big šŸ¤— for writing this. You know the love they try to show onscreen is something special when it inspires posts like this. Ek toh I loved the episode, usparr this.


Manik and Nandini are something else, hai na? One thinks it isn't love, and yet he counts her smiles, hurts at her tears, follows her around all the time. The other knows it's love because it hurts so much, and yet thinks she can walk away and the love/hurt will go away too. Such pyaare but bewakoof bachhe, I swear. šŸ˜†

I am surprised at the word 'sacrifice' being used all around. Kahaan ka sacrifice, kaun sa sacrifice? Didn't they say 'this is the end' to each other yesterday itself? She walked away, and he let her. Manik Malhotra, for the first time in his life, took 'no' for an answer. Toh phir how can Nandini possibly sacrifice something that both of them think has ended? To me, the whole beauty of the whole Samjhawan sequence rests in the fact that Nandini showed that she can't walk away, no matter what. She might think she can, but every tear she shed for him, every kiss, it screamed how much she loves this stubborn idiot of hers. This is not Nandini walking away at all; she has already done that. This is about her making her way back to him, not because he chases her down, but because she can't stay away.

Nandini carries the weight of the world on her shoulders at the tender age of 17. And she said it today- He has always been stubborn, but she should have known better, she should have been the sensible one like always. Poor child is on a major guilt trip because she thinks she has failed him, and failed her brother too. Her hurt, her anger- it has all been washed away with this latest stunt that this stubborn boy she loves has pulled, at the cost of his own well-being. And I loved that the writers wrote the fireflies into this monologue. Her belief in them has been restored; and it will compel her to go back to him every time Manik calls out to her. And he will, desperately. She will try to hide behind shadows and cower in corners, but he will know she's there. Because he no longer doubts how much she worries for him- he has proof. And she will trust that he will never leave her alone- because he just needs her too much, and he will show it to her this time.

Ahhh. This is going to be so good. Major feelz in the future. Buss Nandini ko rulana band kar dein yeh log. Dekh kar dard hota hai. & poor Niti. I'm so scared her eyes will refuse to open one of these days because there's a river of glycerine in them.

Okay, I'm glad that I have been able to res on the first page itself. šŸ˜†

Coming to your post- perhaps, only you have the ability to make me laugh out loud then shed silent tears with your words in the same post for the same episode!

This was so, so, SO beautiful behena! šŸ¤—

You pretty much said everything, leaving little scope for me to spout my bakwaas. šŸ˜†

Coming to MaNan- haven't I repeatedly said that our baby Laddoo is as much of a nutcase as our dimwit Baba? They are indeed made for each other for all the right and wrong reasons! šŸ˜† Only a nutcase like her can put up with someone like Manik.

The thing about her being a 17-year old and acting like one at times- so true. Haven't we all jumped to defend our Laddoo when the whole forum was chanting "Character assassination of Nandini" and practically shoved the matter down their throats that at the end of the day, she's a 17-year old girl?

Nandini is not realizing in her haste that she's repeating the same mistake that made her punch Manik. Where is my right to choose? Mera kya Manik?

She didn't stop to consider that he's truly, madly and deeply into her- wouldn't it be unfair for both of them as she's just AS MUCH into him?

I also remember someone saying that Nandini "doesn't love Manik the way he does". I have kept my quite then, knowing that's its of no use. Girls/women don't behave the same way as men do and MaNan are poles apart- characteristically. Its her first time with such emotions and Manik is not the kind of lover that fits in the rosy picture of 'love' that has been painted in her mind.

And coming to Niti- what should I say about her? I have never, NEVER seen an actress so young, so beautiful and SO impeccable with her acting. Hell, she even outshines Parth at times!

I just want to adopt her BAS. Kuchh nahi sunna maine! šŸ˜†

Rafs - You said it all. šŸ‘
Copy- pasting something I wrote on AT:



Niti is a gorgous thing!! Shit the pathos she is hitting these days.
I don't want this track but I trust Viku, he will troll this cliche too. These two cannot ever be away from each other. The moment she was trying to walk out , he feel down. The day he broke up, the fate keeps throwing them towards each other.

I get why Nandini thinks it's toxic because they never had any normalcy, it's too consuming . I go back to the night when Dhruv had his fits in her cafe and she told Manik that whenever she is around, something gets messed up or something. That has been in her brains for a long time.

The flashblacks of whenever his hand got hurt , she was around. That has to come to her head. The guilt of not being assertive enough and to think, if she would have forgiven him earlier, he might have gone to the hospital too.


It would be hard on her to see him like this in the hospital , the memories of her parents and everything would be messing her head.

We see how happy they have been but to her all it has been tears and pain. Too much hurt for both of them. She doesn't know what she truly means to him because he hasn't shared. All she understands that while he is the love of her life, there has been too much of tears, blood and this. Hence the toxic part.

But she cannot stay away like he couldn't . This is how they both will realize that together they are perfect, because they are home to each other. And realize and accept the love .

To us it looks silly but at 17 Nandu has lost too much , his this injury is playing havoc with her emotions, she is bound to think that perhaps if she wasn't in his life, this won't have happen.

The what ifs' exist because they don't know what they mean to each other. What we think is fate, is actually their love. Fate might conspire but it has always been these two taking steps towards each other.

Rafz šŸ¤—
Pehle toh...I love u, marry me! I don't care if there is Bushra, Adhi , Wish or anybody else in the line...u be mine.Bas.

And this post! So awesome...šŸ‘
U just have a way with words. I laughed at your trademark style and then marvelled at your in-depth analysis.

Aur kya bolun main? U said it all.

Niti was superb today...the way she emoted, the way she expressed her grief, it was all so beautiful...she sure has come a long way and I'm really proud of her.

The samjhawan sequence was so poignant and beautiful. The tenderness with which she caressed his hands, touched his face, cried on his shoulders shows how deep she is in this too, how muc she cares for him.She is guilt-ridden.She feels that she should have been the mature one, the sensible one and not been stubborn in return.She somewhere feels that Manik's condition is that bad because of her inability to forgive him, thus holding him back from getting himself treated. She is too overwhelmed by the happenings all round her, her emotions are all over the place. She is just reacting to situations without thinking it through. She is frustrated, angry, torn, grief-stricken, nervous, anxious,panicky, guilt-ridden- all at the same time. She needs time to sort herself out and things to become more stable.
Manik has always felt that he isn't good enough for Nandini and now Nandini in her desperation, blames herself for not being assertive enough, for being irresponsible and insensible and her thoughts of their relationship being "toxic"arises from that sense of fear and utter desperation. She has let herself down according to her. Her feelings for Manik is all-consuming and she feels guilty for letting her uncontrollable urges and emotions getting the better of her and making her act so insensibly.

I feel that this track was much required. As much as I dislike seeing my babies in pain, I feel this would help them come closer emotionally. Manik has still not given a name to their relationship, he refuses to acknowledge that it's love and Nandini too is trying her best to run away from the all-consuming emotions that this man brings out in her. They need to realize that however much thet try, they will never be able to stay away, they belong together, they find strength and companionship in one another. the last time, their relationship was a whirlwind of conflicting emotions, raging egos and fights coupled with intense passion. They never had time to really get to know the other person. the trust is still fragile and through this track they will learn to emotionally lean on one another, get to know the other on a more intimate level (no puns intended), and most importantly realize how much the other means to them.

Rafz šŸ¤— You write amazingly well and catch the right emotions..
Loved the humor too in the intial part šŸ˜†

I was so pissed off while i watched the epi thinking she is at it now, she is doing her sacrifising act and these two take turns in being donkeys.. The toxic part irritated me somehow.. 😵

This is her realization track, She needs to now understand she cannot walk away from him no matter what, He has realized how much he needs her in his life, he hasnt named it love yet but he is getting there now time for Nandu's realization.. She thought its easy to walk away from him, farak nahi padtha if something happens to him.. Just like him , she is taking the descisions for both of them now and commiting mistake..

Parth has always been a very strong actor to me in this show.. Niti has grown to be such a good actor too specially after the musicana night she has been so impressive, she totally nailed it today.. šŸ‘ šŸ‘ šŸ‘ The girl cries so beautifully , her dialogue delivery to expressions all perfect..
These two together make manan come to life..


I really hope Nandu realizes she cannot walk away from him and these two sort it out .. Ab mujhse sacrifise track aur nahi dekha jata
