Finally got a chance to watch steps scene again
It was sooo cute...loved the whole thing but when i re-watched it, i just realized that their convo began with description of their characters and role reversal from what Manik said on New year's eve
"I will choose my friends as i have to protect them and i need u to protect me" ...he called her his shining star...she is his shining star
but in this epi...She was protecting her friend and somehow came into danger and he protected her...felt like a full circle
There were many layers of meaning to that scene...
1) Him just KNOWING she will somehow find him and come fuss over his hand...the way he pulled her without turning back to sit down next to him is one of my fav. bits in that scene.
2) Nandu immediately holding his hands and looking at the cuts on it but not directly asking him how he got those...instead asking him if he hurt Harshad...again I love how they didn't need to go about how the situation must have happened...she just wanted to know if he did his usual self-destructive stuff...and Manik was giving her grumpy looks in response😆...
3) The bit where he scoffs and says, "Look who's talking...tumhein kya zaroorat thi hero banne ki?" and when Nandu responds that she was saving her friend so he has to retort with a, "And I was saving MY..."..."my friend"😆...I loved how they rounded it up and somewhere it was understood that both of them were protecting their loved ones...albeit in different ways...but this is how they do it always.
4) The little pause before Manik decides he wants to hold her hand...just cuz😆...so simple, so natural...I love how their scenes aren't contrived in execution.
