I was so taken in by how NATURAL the scene was yaar...we just NEVER see this kind of NATURAL communication b/w a pair onscreen or in a TV show...there is a soft/innocent kind of simplicity to Nandu and her way of explaining things...and the way Manik reacts is also so natural...no unnecessary mahaanta or declarations...he understood, couldn't deny her after the way she told him she would be lucky to have a friend like him...but he wasn't sappy about it...the tickling broke the seriousness of the conversation and the way Nandu started laughing just lit up the whole scene...and the way she persisted in tickling him back and getting a reaction...
They may be extreme with each other but this communication helps them overcome all challenges...this is what I love to see about their relationship.
It's UNHEARD of in any show to actually realistically explore this aspect of a relationship...everything happens at jet speed, confession etc. and they skip to silly misunderstandings or love triangles ka drama.
For ONCE we are actually getting to see a pair ACTUALLY understand and get to know each other no matter how passionate/intense their feelings for each other already are.
I remember asking for something like this way back when the Musicana breakup had happened and the writers actually are following what many ppl asked for...lovely yaar...it just adds meaning to MaNan's relationship unlike anything else...
